Thanks for the info. I'd like to stick to being gapps-free, so unfortunately no Play Store access as of right now. I'll probably test out the Store on a dummy account for a while just to be safe.
[Android Apps and Games] Bludwurst:
that might be your best bet.

good luck.
[Android Apps and Games] adobrakic:
Well my biggest problem is losing access to all my paid apps when I don't log in with my main account. But yeah, I'll just use a dummy account for a while and see how aggressive Google is in banning users for the Yalp Store.
[Android Apps and Games] Koloses:
Well there is an xposed module that emulates google play licence verification, but I won't link it for obvious reasons.I know it sounds a little but shady, but I think using it wouldn't do any harm if you'll use it only with the apps you paid for.
[Android Apps and Games] justmix4:
I use microG since half a year on the my main Google account and so far nothing happened. I checked Yalp Store and is even useful, but I returned to the Play Store because of the security of my account and comfort of use (I can update apps by one tap). So with my short experience I can say that the set microG + Play Store guarantees safety. I'll stay away from Yalp Store. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] JanJabko:
Off topic, I know, but it might help with GPlay vs Yalp discussion.

My phone is gapps free since a month and a bit and I am using Raccoon from PC (version 3.7 not the latest 4.X). Works well with paid and free (I use a separate account for that) apps.

It's less comfortable, you just download apk and manually install them, but batch installing and upgrading works fine with ADB from command line, at least on Linux.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Since beginning of November 2016, my device is GApps-free and running with microG.

I'd like to offer my greatest compliments to @MaR-V-iN for a superb job well done!:good:

Everything is running fine, smoothly and without any problems. Location fixes occur much faster than with the Google Play Services before, both with GPS or via the network. Even via network only, the given location is remarkably precise.

A brief remark regarding the "store discussions" I recently read in this thread: Shortly after installation of the whole microG-suite I replaced the BlankStore by the Google Play Store, the one and only Google application now on my device. Currently, Google Play Store 7.5.08.M-all [0][PR] 146162341 is installed. The Google Play Store allows my access to all applications I've bought sometime or to the donations I made via the Play Store. Additionally, I'm still able to purchase new applications. UPDATE (2017-03-22): I've to apologise for a wrong statement I made. I cannot purchase anything new throught the Google Play Store. The purchase procedure stops and the Play Store forcefully closes after entering the Google account password. I just tried it today as I want to buy a pro-key for a new application I've installed. The way I now performed the purchase was, I went via PC/Internet into the Play Store, logged into my account, bought it and initiated installation from there. More or less immediately, the pro-key was installed on my Android device.

If interested, here I tried to describe the procedure that I followed to get the microG-suite and Google Play Store on my device.

Take the GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk from GApps and put it in /system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter and set appropriate permissions (775 for the folder and 664 for the apk). You could find that information by searching this thread for "contacts".
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Contacts sync is not part of microG, so unless you are doing something special, it won't work.

I use davdroid to sync my calendar and contacts. Elsewhere on this topic I think you can find information on how to get and install the Google sync adaptor that is part of gapps.
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
And you are really able to purchase new apps? I followed your instructions but am still not able to do so.

Btw I use microg as well for half a year now but am still unable to purchase new apps via playstore.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Yes, I am really able to purchase new apps. It's a pity that I currently have no requirement to buy one but as soon as my next purchase occurs, I'm going to take screenshots and publish them.

And I apologise but currently no idea why it doesn't work for you.

[Android Apps and Games] GasLoop:
I'm also able to make purchases. But the Play Store doesn't check for updates by itself, I'm bound to do it manually. Tried searching for a solution but couldn't find anything relevant. Any help?
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
I've done this. 100% works, but you've gotta use MyAndroidTools to prevent the client from updating itself. You might need to move the apk into /system. There are more details throughout [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION]'s unofficial microG installer thread.

Here it is: https://xdaforums.com/android/development/microg-unofficial-installer-t3432360

Do you mean to move MyAndroidTools into /system or to move the Google Play Store? My Play Store is from the very beginning at /system/priv-app, actually named as Phonesky.apk in a folder called Phonesky. And despite using MyAndroidTools on the device, the was no requirement for me to manipulate the Play Store to deny auto-update.
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
Play Store, I mean, not MyAndroidTools. Good catch. I installed microG through FDroid, but when it came to replacing FakeStore, I had to place my Phonesky.apk in the folder you described instead of where FakeStore defaults to.

As for the auto update, any update by the app on my phone from 5.1.11 to 7.x resulted in force closes, so I couldn't manage without disabling a few services/receivers within the app
[Android Apps and Games] ShapeShifter499:

[Android Apps and Games] Kulturmensch:
I'm using this setup with LineageOS 14.1 and everything is working fine! So thanks for your great work!!

But now i want to update my ROM. I had to manually turn on signature faking.... so after dirty flashing the update of the ROM do i have to re-enable signature faking or will it remain? Also will MicroG stop working or should it just still work fine?

Is there someone with experience with updating ROM while MIcroG is enabled?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
If you are using Tingle to enable signature spoofing then you have to use after each dirty flash. I suggest to do it right after flashing the ROM update (while you are still in the recovery).

If microG Gms core is installed into /system/priv-app then be sure that it hasn't been erased before rebooting. Using an addon.d script is very helpful.
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
Hello,

I'm using MicroG with Play Store version 5.1.11, which worked fine so far.

After my ROM updated via OTA, the Phonesky.apk at /system/priv-app/Phonesky was deleted. I reinstalled it manually.

Since then, the Play Store doesn't see any of my installed apps. The list with "My Apps" is empty.

I tried deleting data, cache and reinstalled the Phonesky.apk. Then I removed and added my Google account again, no luck.

How can I fix this? I can't see any updates for my apps because of that.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
Sometimes it's just a matter of starting the app several times. Making sure to remove it from Recents so it starts up fresh each time.

Also, since you placed it manually, app permissions okay?

Since you did a ROM update, are all the microG and/or Xposed stuff in order?

I had the same issue with this Play Store version. A more recent version fixed it for me or you can use Titanium Backup to restore market link which also works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] Draygon:
Can't get it to work with Titanium. I tried restoring the market links and used the play store helper. :(

The Phonesky.apk permissions are 644.

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
I have the same issue and I have trouble getting it working after each clean flash.

Sometimes it works after a clean flash but I don't know what's the solution. I often try to clear app data, remove my account, reboot,...

I'm still testing a solution to keep it working after a dirty flash. I hope an addon.d script will help.

I think the Play Store doesn't recognize my account since I have to purchase again paid apps.

EDIT: yes, it does help with an addon.d script! :D I can update my apps. Paid apps that I have already purchased are not fixed, though. Since I use my browser to buy paid apps I don't remember if it's a common issue.

In my case, i use lineageos 13 and cyanogen 12.1 .

In lineage 13 i only put phonesky and google contacts sync, on /system/private-apps/ and it works perfectly. Gmail, drive, youtube, etc works fine without problems.

In cm 12 everything works fine except sync contacs.. I never can that works ... So i use a vcard and problem solve.

Hi, Sorry for the late reply. Yes I've location provider installed. As per my understanding it's comes with microG Services Core (using 0.2.4-79). I've 2 backends installed, apple and mozilla.

I installed microG first and whatsapp later. GCM is also enabled in microg settings. What do you mean by device checkin? I can't see any option for it. I wanna try installing location provider as a system app. What would be the way to do it? Help would be appreciated. I was using omni6 and everything was working smooth.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
You can install microG (and thus the location provider) as a system app using my or ale5000's flashable zip. I do not have the link to ale5000's, but note that it has addon.d support and mine currently does not. If you are using Omni, though, you can just stick my zip in the FlashAfterUpdate folder and the addon.d support won't matter. Your choice. You can search for ale5000's zip here on XDA or find mine on my website: https://shadow53.com/no-gapps/downloads

There are two versions, depending on if you want to use the official Play Store or not.

As for device checkin, the option is currently called "Google device registration" and can be seen as the first option under the "Google Services" heading in microG settings.

[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I'm assuming by gapps you mean the Play Store. This tends to happen on each first open after a reboot. Just close the app and remove it from recents, then open it again. It should work. No clearing data or cache needed.

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Very few applications provide me the same message; however, the applications are obviously different to yours. They "simply use" the play services, and I don't have any Google applications (except the Play Store) on my device. None of my applications require or use a Google account (again except Play Store).

I simply ignore this notification as all my applications are working well - and I can well live without Google.

@MaR-V-iN: Just for your information. The "test application" you mentioned in your OP (see quotation above) doesn't work anymore. It states (as other applications of this type do) to require updated play services.

Actually, I don't care as I know my GCM pushes work. Just wanted to mention for completeness that you can't test anymore with that application.

[MENTION=3999488]MaR-V-iN[/MENTION]: What determines whether a ROM is supported by microG? Is the onus on the app or the ROM to facilitate compatibility?
[Android Apps and Games] Mayankkr26:
No bro it's completely supported on most of the devices.....

And if not then by installing the xposed module given it supports all the devices.....
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
I am not talking about signature spoofing. MicroG's self checker tells me the ROM version (crDroid 2.x) is not supported, and UnifiedNlp will not bind to system unless I move it into /system. Upon doing so, I get a CTS profile mismatch. This does not occur in Lineage 13.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
I've been using microG on crDroid since 1.5 or 1.8 of the ROM. Currently on 2.4. It works just fine. Originally used, and still use, a flashable installation from a thread about microG & crDroid. The ones from ale5000 and Shadow53 should work also.

Not sure why microG is saying your ROM is unsupported. A bit strange for sure.

[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
Because I am not using a flashable installation. I get the unsupported error in crDroid when GmsCore is installed in /data/app, not when it is in /system/priv-app. I do not get that error using Lineage 13 with GmsCore in /data/app.

To be clear, I wish to avoid any flashable installation methods. I want all of GMSCore, GsfProxy, DroidGuard Helper, and my location backends to remain in /data/app, with only the Play Store "systemized" using Magisk's App Systemizer module by [MENTION=2226076]stangri[/MENTION]. This setup works as desired on LOS13--I pass SafetyNet--but not crdroid (nor LOS14 as of the last time I checked, but that was a while ago).

Edit: using Magisk to "systemize" GmsCore, despite fixing the location provider binding issue, also breaks SafetyNet, so unfortunately that's not the solution I'm looking for.
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=7660770]animeme[/MENTION], oh I see.

Hmm, for curiosity I might do some testing. /system is the preferred but I'd like to see which ROMs might work with GmsCore in /data.

[Android Apps and Games] MaR-V-iN:
Thanks for your support.

The Xposed signature spoofing is not yet detected, but you will notice that it shows positive result for the signature in the package checks.

GSF is required for C2DM, the opensource version of GCM. GsfProxy (linked in first post) will do that for you.

Money donations, although highly appreciated, won't push development any further. Donations to FSFE will probably help more ;)

I am passing by Liege on my way to Leuven (university) from Germany quiet often ;)

This was suggested before. However due to it's nature, network location is often requested constantly (with a very low frequency like once a hour) by several apps and the android os itself. Thus such an notification would be displayed all time. It would be possible to only count those with refresh rate < 1min or sth like that.
