No, not sure about the Starbucks app. I saw that it was attempting to display a map with a Google logo and failing.
[Android Apps and Games] MichaelZR:
I did, but only half way.

I did a clean install of Optimized LineageOS 7.1.2 Stable2 (Side) and flashed a previous microg-playstore.zip [MENTION=962829]stylemessiah[/MENTION] sent me because the one on [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] web site was bad until a few hours ago. The included PlayStore was 7.5.08.M-all [0] [PR] 146162341.

The behaviour is quite difficult to describe exactly, but I try to remeber as good as possible...

I first added my Google account. It started good but after answering the last question, on the left pane was half page filled out and below on the main page was an error message I don't remember exact with a strange error code (in square brackets two letters, dash, two digits). After closing and opening the account it showed everything OK.

Then I opened PlayStore. It took a while until the first page displaying that contact is built, disappeared and then the same error as with the account creation was displayed. When I opened the Play Store the third or fourth time suddenly everything was OK. And I could install the two paid apps. Later on (after a reboot or after whatever) opening PlayStore only diplayed a complete blank white page. I was never able to start PlayStore again.

This could be reproduced.

I noticed that one has to be quite fast to disable automatic update when PlayStore is opened. An update is loaded very soon (only noticable in the status bar).
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Please check my the previous page of posts. That issue regarding my zips has been fixed.
[Android Apps and Games] ShapeShifter499:
Not being able to view the Map or use mobile ordering in Starbucks because of microG isn't a deal breaker, just annoying. Using the app to reload a card or pay in person still works fine. I wonder if a fix or workaround can be made for those apps that start to lose functionality because of the lack of Map support.
[Android Apps and Games] stylemessiah:
Sorry you're still having issues mate

I too tried the "quick disable playstore autoupdate" when I tried microg a few weeks back...After noting others in the thread complained once it updated things didn't work. I wasn't successful in stopping either time I flashed microg (I did a clean rom flash/patch/microg setup twice), and I had no issues at all, downloaded paid and free apps both times.

Only reason I'm not still using microg is because of the map issues being discussed the last few pages...My local transport app uses Google maps overlay in it but under microg the map page didn't work as it looked like the app wasnt triggering a location request - no location or GPS icons in status bar...Happened in another app too. Only reason I'm back to gapps

As for playstore not opening, can you try closing it from recents first...
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Apologies in advance for going off topic. . .

Agency specific transit apps have some features a generic one can not provide. Having noted that, would Transportr, available at F-Droid or the developer's website or F-Droid repository work for you? Its map display works perfectly on my microG based phone (it uses OpenStreetMap data).

If the transit agencies in your area are not in Transportr, it may be possible to add them. Steps for adding a transit agency are a bit involved but within the skill level of many people installing microG. I've a private version of Transportr where I've added the transit agencies in my area. Once my pull requests are accepted by the maintainer of the transit library used by Transportr and the maintainer of the Transportr app my changes will be available to everyone. I might be able to help you go through the steps to add your local agencies (assuming they publish their routes and schedules in the proper format with the proper license).
[Android Apps and Games] stylemessiah:
Very brief off topic reply: Cheers, but sadly the app i use is a paid one - TripView, and the best for Sydney, store all your trips (bus/train and ferries) and uses real time data for buses etc, not to mention the maps with bus stop overlaid so you now when to press the button to stop the bus!, so its really not possible to replace it with something esle. Transportr is very basic by comparison and doesnt do half of what i need. p.s. the dev of TripView is awesome, on the 3 times ive put in a question over the last 2 years, i usually get a reply in 5 minutes, and hes a genuinely nice guy, like ive said to him each time he's fixed/added something ive reported/asked for/suggested, his customer service makes his app the only one i feel guilty only paying once for...and i got it on special for like $2.50
[Android Apps and Games] Stefa.:
I have fixed my problem with the PlayStore after downloading and flashing again the .zip from your site; very thanks for it ;)

Now unfortunately I am having trouble with Contacts sync:

I flashed your "contacts-calendar sync" zip and effectively I can verify that the syncronization is working from the Calendar, but from contact I am not able to sync them with my Google account.

Can you please [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] help me?

Thanks a lot for your availability! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Ugh, not this again. Please double check that the contacts sync adapter is being granted all of the permissions listed in App Ops/Privacy Guard. If the issue is still happening, please provide a logcat.
[Android Apps and Games] Stefa.:
Double checked, permissions were all granted :good: thanks a lot for your help ;)

I was able to sort it out performing the following steps:

- surfed to /system/app/ContactSync/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (where the .apk was installed with your zip)

- Installed the .apk file manually

- Rebooted

[All this operations have been performed while on mobile data]

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION]: I read (and experienced) that Hangout is not working with MicroG, do you know if there is a way (maybe with some API installs..) to make it work using MicroG?
[Android Apps and Games] elv1503:
Thanks. Still doesn't work for me. It never completes set up. It doesn't get as far as entering account details. I've given up for the moment
[Android Apps and Games] MichaelZR:
Hippieeeehhhhhh :)

It works, I have Play Store running :)

Two thinks I changed (so I don't know exactly what made the difference :( Just in case I should have too much time I will analyze).

I went back to the previous ROM Optimized LineageOS 7.1.1 Stable1 (@Side) on my S4 I9505 because Stable2 has problems with the compass and attitude sensor. Because this ROM doesn't have Sig Spoof yet I patched with Haystack.

And I used the new microg-playstore.zip that [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] put on his web site. It contains Play Store 7.7.17.O-all [0] [PR] 153033368.

Everything worked from the beginning as it should :)
[Android Apps and Games] elv1503:
Thanks . I'm on stable 2 and while everything seemed set up correctly in microg app I could not get play store to work. Might do as you did but wasted 2 days trying to get it to work. Going to leave it for the moment.

No.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
Who frightens a billion Android users to use Google's "cloud services" ( i.e. put all their personal data in someone else's computer ) ?

Again, convenience and "it's free" rules most users' decisions when using Google's products. Or any other company's.
[Android Apps and Games] doitright:
You're out of your mind. Google has shown no indication of abusing user information, and generating user-targeted search results and advertising doesn't apply. Unless you can PROVE otherwise, neither I, nor anybody else, will take you seriously.

This is about as opposite from the NSA as you can get, the NSA proves time and again that they not only abuse information that they are *given*, they actively hunt it out in order to abuse.
[Android Apps and Games] brossovitch:
Tried.

I get a message, "Error Parsing the Package. "

Should I install manually?

I'm using CM13 and Sometimes Orion OS.

The only app from Google I actually use and care about is Hangouts.

I would like to find a replacement messaging app that can handle Hangouts & Google Voice messages someday.

My phone feels better without GApps so far.

IMAP from Gmail was slow at first but works wonderfully.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
I'm not the one taking this conversation way too seriously. ( :

Neither am I insulting anyone, for that matter. Take it easy.

We're way off-topic anyway, I gather.

1. Please make a list of your installed apps System + User apps and post them over here plus let us know what's the system you are running on

2. microG is installed as a system app ? (check if microG is installed as system app "it should be installed normally as user")

3. i think you have an other application that is not compatible with microG.

4. Also apps that need google services should be installed after microG

5. if you don't care about the data on your phone you can wipe all application data with titanium or else, this should solve the problem

6. Also and very important all google app should be removed, if you need google map or else they need to be installed after microG and as user app from any store and not as system app.

7. Make a nandroid backup before playing with my solutions...

1. First you need to uninstall any google app before installing microG also hangouts, (you could install it back after installing microG and after a reboot)

2. The reason of your error is coming from one of those situations :

- You still have a google app installed (like google login service or so) ... you need to clean your phone from all google app if before installing microG

- Your phone does not support signature faking, in this case you need the xposed module and a reboot before installing microG
[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
For me they were the same speed, imap was faster even. Search is going to be interesting. I think it only works on your local archive. Downloading parts of messages is odd too, but I guess you only do it once vs multiple times using gmail apk. I'll see what happens after a few months space wise.

Feel that microG isn't super needed for this and its actually a detriment to be unable to use the google app. My next project with it will be using google voice to place phone calls on an unprovisioned phone. So a microG ip phone as a "home" phone.

[Android Apps and Games] brossovitch:
I wiped my whole phone and flashed the ROM.

Installed all three apks in the OP as well as the Xposed module.

Installed a few things.

Chrome works fine, no sign in.

Inbox by Gmail works aswell.

Hangouts keeps asking to sign into Google even after you attempt to.

Soundcloud says it doesn't work without GPservices, but it runs fine.

Titanium Backup has an issue enabling PRO, this is odd because installing pro works fine normally even if I'm not signed into Google.

I would love Google voice usage. Maybe a way to sms, mms, & call? That would be fantastic. I don't use my actual phone much anyhow. I use hangouts because of it's integration with Google voice..

It sounds like you've got an awesome project in mind, please try.

The problem with google, msft (windows 10 is now a kind of android os, collecting

everything

on your computer "which can be edited with windows application" - see privacy statement on windows 10) and "face-de-bouc" is we don't know what they do with informations they collect. It's not something about us only, but worldwide.

The fact :

Google owns : dns server, search engine, mail & storage server of all kind, android and its data mining tools., google docs..

The kind of things they collect : your IP adress, your search strings, calendar, contacts, mails, strings on google docs, the apps installed on android (their data (for exemple strings entered in a note taking application), your contacts (phone numbers, adress mails, names), calendar events, mails (data and metadata), youtube video view or publication... And so on.

How they can process the data for profiling :

-If you gather everything on the same account, that's quite easy for them...

The statistical profiling tools (algorithms) combined with giant databases can allow them to make very accurate profile of who you are, what's your interests (mail from websites, search engine string), what your political convictions, your religious convictions, your philosophic conviction, your sexual orientation, your profession, the place where you live, the place where you work, your online depense, your personal issues (divorce, chronic disease, legal stuffs,...) yours hobbies, your relative networks, everything related to relative interraction (think of a map of the network of all yours relationships), your travel, the films you watch...

-If you not and create different google accounts, or use another search engine or use services from other companies with or without google account :

Ip adress screws you, identification numbers on android devices screw you, dns servers screw you, web cookies screws you, windows ID screws you...

...The Data agregators screws you. They collect data from major companies, and thanks to diverse tracking they can conclude where these data come from and build a still excessively precise profile about you.

-What they can do with these data (currently) ?

It can be sold or give away to dictatorship (or weakening democracies), insurance companies, banking system, recruitment offices, employers, Coca-Cola or Mac Do...

-What they can do with these data (in near future) ?

Everything that can pay the bill and doesn't destroy the company. Even sell these data to your mom, your wife, your colleague or the people who don't like you... But on the "black/grey/hidden market", of course... facebook and google would never do that by themselves.

Here the kind of things to expect from the google-alike :

[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
is the update apply by directly install the apk via package installer?
[Android Apps and Games] wkwkwk:
I updated my banking app today and it also says it won't run unless Google services are updated.

Maybe we need to bump the microg version from 8.1.15 to whatever is current?

Edit: saw Marvin's post after replying. Microg 0.2 fixes this, excellent work, as always :)
[Android Apps and Games] wis3m0nkey:
Thanks for pointing that, I'm gonna try again

[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
For anyone interested in using microG on a custom ROM (Nougat-based) without signature spoofing, but with Magisk installed:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
It sounds like that just uses its own method to enable signature spoofing...
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Sure, but it enables signature spoofing without the need of Tingle or similar tools. Just flash the patch and you are done. Seems way easier for most users as no computer/ADB is required.
[Android Apps and Games] oF2pks:
Great ...

How is it that "tech"-apps like Recently (chainfire) or Webview (google) are missing from Blankstore ?

Also I noticed that 2017' Webview editions are now using GooglePlayServices dvlpt tools (+ android.permission.INTERNET): is it necessary for compatibility ?

(Worst is if you install Chrome/Canary: your Webview automatically moves to Firebase_Analytics for

all

other apps ! )

[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Someone else has issues with the official play store? It doesn't detect my installed apps so I can't update my paid apps.

Could it be related to the implementation of signature spoofing provided by my custom ROM?
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
I didn't realize it was portable! Definitely handy. I'm lucky enough to have a ROM with spoofing included
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
Which one? Already listed there?
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
Why are you still using BlankStore? It's a deprecated app that basically everyone agrees has been superseded by Yalp Store on F-Droid.

---------- Post added at 07:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:45 PM ----------

I might be related to that, but I doubt it. I can say that the latest Play Store works fine for me, though. It shows all of my installed apps.

Yessir, crDroid. But I know AOSGP also includes it, since it uses crDroid's settings

[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
Not just.

It has

on-pc framework-patcher (a much more user-friendly way for using haystack)

on-device framework-patcher (uses your ROMs dalvikvm and dexpatcher to apply haystack patches)

microG GmsCore and Play Store modified to allow for (in-)app-purchases (instructions where posted by mar-v-in in issue #309 on microG GmsCore github repository)

can choose between no Store, Yalp Store + Fake Store combo or Play Store

has an interface for Magisk magic-mount feature, which can be used to disable pre-installed GApps if you're on a stock ROM, without modifying /system directly

patched services.jar is stored in Magisk Module, /system stays unmodified

disabling the Magisk Module will restore original state of the ROM

The full package also has

GNU Bash

GNU Nano

The Legend of Zelda ringtones & sounds

F-Droid and Privileged Extension (also available as F-Droid only module)

pre-set applications override through Magisk magic-mount

a variety of FOSS apps pre-loaded

Installation supports configuration files for further customization.

What way you get your microG fix depends on your preferences, but I made it so that the NanoMod-patcher is applicable for anyone, regardless whether they actually use NanoMod. Plus you can also build your own package from my modified microG GmsCore and Play Store in cause you want (in-)app-purchases, since everything's readily available.

All with the benefit of not having to modify /system directly. And with passing Safety**** because of Magisk.

Either way, I'm sitting here praising topjohnwu for Magisk, mar-v-in for microG and lanchon for dexpatcher/haystack.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I tried NanoMod today. Simply fantastic and easy to use. Flashes and setups work like a charm.

So happy that I was able to go with my Resurrection Remix Nougat now GApps-free without the need for Xposed.

Just wanted to reply briefly to your post. I'm going to report in a different thread more explicitly.

Great, great job! Well done. Thanks very much:good::good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] joelh:
All awesome devs, don't get me wrong. The way it was originally stated, it sounded like someone had created a way for microG to function without any sort of signature spoofing. I simply wanted to clarify, not belittle anyone's efforts.
[Android Apps and Games] franky14:
Well I tried the search button but couldn't find any solution.

Are you receiving WhatsApp notifications immediately or only when you open the App? I am facing the issue of delayed notifications.

Anyone using microG and WhatsApp please give some suggestions.
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
Some time it works as expected, some time not. I begin to wonder whether that happens after app update. A clean install of WhatsApp (backup chats using built in backup feature, delete WA and re-install) should fix the issue, though.

All other apps except Miitomo work properly for me receiving notifications (Miitomo doesn't get any when using microG, but this is so low prio, that I don't give a funk to file a bug report).

Edit: acc. to mar-v-in in some bug report in github issue tracker, it might also be Substratum that interferes, since it's base recently changed heavily that might not be the case anymore, though.

I get all notifications when using Whatsapp but when using Signal i got the same delayed messages "bug".

Strange thing is that when i enable the PC-client with Signal i can send and receive messages on that PC while the mobile phone is in standby and is not showing notifications. (as the connection is PC -> my mobile phone -> message goes out to target). When i then open the Signal App I receive all the messages i was typing on my PC + the replies and get notification :D.

couldnt resolve this issue though...
[Android Apps and Games] pbeckmann:
Hey,

you could look in microg if the apps are subscribed to firebase messaging in microg. If they did not appear in microg there is something wrong with the registration and an reinstall of the app should help.

Cases where I saw this behaviour was updating ROM and having to reconfigure microg, an update of microg and installing some mods ore so with root, which possibly destroyed the signature spoofing so I had to reconfigure microg.

Greetings
