Resurrection Remix "Nougat" v5.8.3 is now GApps-free

Thanks to the really powerful and easy to use NanoMod Magisk module by @Setialpha powered by Magisk by @topjohnwu I was able to create a GApps-free system on my Samsung GT-i9305 running Resurrection Remix RR-N-v5.8.3-20170416 by @rodman01 (RR-i9305 official thread).

Details to the procedure I used can be retrieved here.

It seems that Chrome v57 doesn't work with microG, I tried using login account in Chrome but it will not work.
[Android Apps and Games] Bonoboo:
Just for info.

Here ZIP script that deleteing all gapps on Android 2.3-7.1
[Android Apps and Games] kirito9:
Nicee, do you know which recovery is needed. I flashed two anti-gapps zips before but they didn't remove gapps. It could be because of my custom /custpack partition tho.
[Android Apps and Games] Bonoboo:
Hmm, first time hear about /custpack

Yep, preinstalled apps might be there.

First of all you need to know, does recovery can mount that partition?

TWRP > Mount > custpack > Back > Advanced > File manager > custpack

If there's no such item execute via adb or directly in TWRP's terminal:

mount /custpack
find /custpack
[Android Apps and Games] BryanByteZ:
Anyone had success with microG on stock MIUI (removing Gapps)?
[Android Apps and Games] kirito9:
The custpack does mount in TWRP and also find /custpack displays the files.

Guess just modify the script to support custpack?
[Android Apps and Games] simthadim:
Wanted to give this a try with SultanXDA's ROM. (lineageOS) However, I can't get the signature spoofing in place because ADB has no root access. Devices is properly rooted (MagiskSU: and the Magiskmanager settings are set to "apps and ADB" for root access)

"sudo adb root" gives: adbd cannot run as root in production builds

Chainfire's adbd insecure does not work on Nougat. Any tips on how to enable signature spoofing?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
As you're already using Magisk (I assume v12) you might want to give NanoMod a try?
[Android Apps and Games] simthadim:
Thanks for the suggestion. Read about it, but was initially hoping to install MicroG all trough F-droid in order to be up-to-date.

Unfortunately Nanomod also yields or result (the framework patcher gives an error in TWRP: reporting it in the Nanomod thread). Still hoping for a solution for the adb root issue :)
[Android Apps and Games] jisoo:
Have you tried "adb shell" to get into the shell on the device, and then switching to root by just using "su"?
[Android Apps and Games] simthadim:
Manager to fix it with that. Thank you for the hint. Used Tingle to create a patched framework and adb shell to copy it to the /system directory ('push adb' needs adb root access in order to push it to /system).

Running microG :)

I saw there is a new version of gsm core, where i can see the changelog??
[Android Apps and Games] nihad15:
Which is the version of YouTube that is confirmed to be working fine?
[Android Apps and Games] :
I do not think it exists for the preview versions but you can always check https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/commits/master for the latest commits and changes they have introduced.

I do not use the official app so cannot really answer the question but you can always use WebTube as an alternative if there are any problems with the official one ;).
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Youtube version 12.15.55 installed using Racoon seems to be working on my crDroid 3.0 (Android 7.1.2) using gmsCore 0.2.4-92-g3669dad.
[Android Apps and Games] nihad15:
Can you please provide an .apk (does raccoon keep the .apk after installation?) Because apkmirror is currently down
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Both Raccoon and Yalp claim that is the latest version of YouTube, so you should be able to get it yourself. Yalp is available on F-Droid and while I prefer an older version, it is also pretty easy to get the current version of Raccoon.

For what it is worth, I don't have the YouTube app logged into Google and I use the nifty cloud messaging control in gmsCore to disable YouTube's attempt register for messages. Actually I disable most apps from registering only allowing those, like Signal that I specifically want to allow.
[Android Apps and Games] RealVaVa:
Thx for that software. I have a question. What about voice recognition? Many Voice Assistances use Google ASR over Google Voice search application. When that app is out, noone Assistance can't work.

I don't want install big piece of gapps (called Google - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox ) . He want so lot hardware.

I was try to use old Voice Search app from Google (for Android 2.2) - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch . He work perfect and get hardware not much. But it is not good (I think). Maybe you or other programmer (I'm not) can make fake google voice search system app for proxyfing requests from installed apps to Google ASR recognising engine?

Google Voice search app make menu in system settings. I mean that when talking about "system app".

P.S.: sorry for my owful English. I'm not use translater. It translates even worse, I think

UnifidNIP is not working (says its not supported and the box doesn't get checked) on LOS (patched to accept signature spoofing) 7.1.2 on hammerhead

I've looked through this thread and there is supposed to be patch to get it working? I cant seem to find it (or a find a clear answer)

I've tried putting the location apk in system/priv-apps manually using a root explorer. But that doesn't seem to work (i don't think I'm doing it properly tbh, i just copied it and pasted it there and the app doesn't show up in the app drawer)

Sorry if this has already been answered but I've tried searching and couldn't find anything.

maybe I'm just dumb or something
[Android Apps and Games] RealVaVa:
Voice recognition

I have propose for developers.

I think application for voice recognition (alternative for Google) must have functions:

1) emulation of Google Voice Search Menu

2) working with standart intents like stock google app (I talking about compatibility with other apps like as Voice Assistances)

3) Offline recognition with

limited

dictionary.

3 types of dictionares:

- system (R/O access only, auto-update from git for example, support for locales);

- contacts ( parsing names from address book for offline recognition commands to call, R/O access)

- personal (R/W access from editing window (for holding syntax error). Maybe cloud-sync (not important)

4) auto-activating (can be disabled in menu) online recognition over API (Google, Dragon or Microsoft). I think it must be Microsoft or Dragon - realy alternative.

Links for help.

I can't get whatsapp to register in mircrog's "google cloud messaging".

I am on nvertigo67's ROM - clean flashed the latest version, flashed microg-playstore. Gave all permissions in the microg app, rebooted, self-test has all boxes ticked, playstore works. Push Tester Notifications works. But whatsapp doesn't show up in the cloud messaging list.

Did I miss something???
[Android Apps and Games] Portgas D. Ace:
Did you restore Whatsapp after clean flash? Titanium Backup, I am looking at you...

Restoring apps causes issues, normally you have to install the app, open it and set up everything. This should register GCM for Whatsapp.
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Move the APKs to system/app

Then ensure the permissions of the APKs (in file manager) are set to rw-r-r (aka 644) and make sure the owner and group are "root"
[Android Apps and Games] Bludwurst:
And reboot after that, [MENTION=6669794]nihad15[/MENTION]

Whatever you're installing should then appear among the installed apps.
[Android Apps and Games] technotravel:
Thanks! Had indeed tried with Titanium ... after your hint I uninstalled whatsapp and had a penalty wait of one hour before I could register my number again :rolleyes:

But as you predicted, now it registered for microg's GCM :)
[Android Apps and Games] simthadim:
I have the same issue, it not being registered. Could you perhaps explain what APK's to move to /system/app?

In Fdroid microG is called UnifiedNlp (noGapps). Should I uninstall it, move it to the aforementioned folder, give permissions and install?
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Maybe the tools and advices from one of these two threads help to be more successful:

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

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Uninstall both APKs.

Download the packages directly from the MicroG project website.

Rename them to GmsCore (for micro g)

And GsfProxy (for the gcm proxy)

Add them to their own folders (with the same name minus .apk) and the move both to system/app

Check permission is set to rw r r (644) for both and set root for the group and owner.

Reboot and you should have it working from system partition.

The reason for this is Nougat doesn't allow user apps that aren't in system partition to control location.

See more at shadow53.com/no-gapps

It gives a good explanation on getting everything set up especially for Nougat.
[Android Apps and Games] :
For the record, I have just installed the newest version of YouTube under Android 7.1.1 with microG and everything works fine. Something must be wrong with your configuration...
[Android Apps and Games] simthadim:
Thanks for your quick response. Trying to reinstall the stable 0.2.4 release (best bet, I suppose). In the terminal I seem to be unable to change the permissions.

(As root)' chmod -R 644 GmsCore.apk' does not set permissions, it yields:

" chmod: chmod 'GmsCore.apk' to 100644: Read-only file system"

Double checking the permission (ls -l) shows that the permissions have been unchanged (-rw-rw----)

Trying to install the APK from the /system/app/GmsCore folder as such is not possible (installer will not start). Should I mount the partition differently?

------

Edit: yup, that was indeed the case. Should have tried before posting:

Mount system RW: mount -o rw,remount,rw /system

Mount system RO: mount -o ro,remount,ro /system (to revert back to 'normal')

UnifiedNlp is now registered, although I can't implement the backends. I'll have it install them as systemapps too, right?
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
You should be able to install the backends as normal I believe
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
The zips provided from the site use official sources for everything. This means I download microG directly from https://microG.org. I put together an automated bash script that downloads files from the sources, arranges them how they would appear in the Android filesystem, and makes an updater-script that extracts those files to the phone and sets permissions.

I'm working on making the script more modular, then I will be uploading it to git for other people to use. Maybe I should put the beast of a script that's currently being used up there; like I said, I'm trying to make it modular first.

The (currently empty) repo: https://github.com/Shadow53/android-zip-builder

Anyhow, my zips contain the latest preview version of microG, not the stable version. This is because the preview version has more features and bugfixes, is plenty stable on its own, and the version marked "stable" will cause apps to ask you to update Google Play services. It's possible sometimes that my zips will be a version behind because I haven't updated the URL yet (it changes for each release).

I hope this clears things up. No one has to use my zips, but I promise I'm not modifying the files in any way, other than renaming them.
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Ah okay sorry to make it seem like I was bashing your work!

I didn't realise you were around here so actively on XDA haha. I mostly meant that with things downloaded from external websites users should take caution.

I followed your guides to the t and gapps-less is working great for me so far.

Not sure why the Md5 was different but as you say maybe I didn't see it was a Version behind (I took your advice on using the latest preview rather than stables).

Anyway yeah that script is awesome. Sorry for questioning the files ;p
[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
No worries! I was clarifying for those people who might take the post as "he distributes viruses". You are right though: people should be careful when downloading things from the internet.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Thanks man, just tried yalp store and its great. I never thought I'd be able to download my paid apps, use a fake account, rate apps, and have all this control unofficially of the google app store. Whatever this developer did he's a genius. Don't forget to mention, you have to install fake store in order to get some apps to work correctly after removing blankstore.
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
Did you install WhatsApp after you installed gmsCore?

If not, try removing WhatsApp and the installing it again.

Security

The reason I want to ditch Gapps entirely is information it fetches, and its a resource hog. While using signature faking wouldn't it makes me more vulnerable and easy for any attacker or code to harm my device via signature faking?

ADB gapps-replacer idea

One more question. What about PC tool (worked over ADB) like gapps-replacer? Find and remove gapps, patch (like that) and install some MicroG custom pack (only main system apps, nano pack and/or others). Can it be realized?

P.S.: packages can be uninstalled (no need to find path of .apk file) with adb uninstall <package-name>. But I can not find list of every packages of gapps.

[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
In the future, I'd recommend editing the original post rather than quoting it in a new reply.

That said, it sounds like microG is maybe getting dozed. Have you disabled battery optimizations for microG? Are you using an app like Greenify or similar that would prevent microG from connecting in the background? Do you perhaps have "Data Saver" enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] donnieb12:
Yes Sir, battery optimisation disabled,etc all that is done. No Greenify and nothing. I even clean flashed omnirom restoring data after previously uninstalling microg and components.
[Android Apps and Games] BryanByteZ:
If you're really talking about security, fake sig it's the last problem, no system is impenetrable. Anyway ROMs like crDroid have a permission manager for it and correct me if I am wrong the patch allow only microG to use fake sig.

Hello to all,

i'm unable to use the app "drivenow". I installed the microg package and the maps api v1 zip via TWRP. Every box from the microg self-check inside the microg-app is checked. I see the map of the street inside the drivenow-app. When I choose a car, the app crashes.

Another problem belongs to the app "Öffi" or "Oeffi". In Landscape mode, I only can see a blank map.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
I've also Maps v1 installed (however, directly through NanoMod) but Öffi doesn't even offer me to open the map through Maps v1. The one and only choice I've in Öffi is via my installed OSMAnd.

...and as you can see in the attached screenshots, landscape is working.

Remark: Without Maps v1 I was even unable to install Öffi at all.

New Gapps flaw

http://blog.checkpoint.com/2017/05/09/android-permission-security-flaw/

In this case, looks Playstore faulty auto grants permission; apparently nowadays, most attackers target Gapps directly via Playstore trojans, so if you ditch Gapps and rely on F-droid, you "could be safer" than with "secure" Gapps ecosystem: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/03/detecting-and-eliminating-chamois-fraud.html ....

In MicroG settings I see: 0.2.4. Tinder is the latest version. MicroG Services Framework Proxy latest 0.1.0 Thanks!

hi, very thanks for making the zip

can you help me a bit? ive installed a clean rom and after boot and setting spoofing (supported by the rom), rebooted and installed ur zip, all goes fine in the account check in but when it logs into phonesky apk it shows 'Error retrieving information from server [RH-01]' and a Retry hitbox that obviously doesnt works :(

Before it worked and i was able to download applications and all, it requires to update everytime but atleast it worked, what im doing so wrong? ive installed ur zip, setted up all the microg and then rebooted before setting my account :(

FIX: Go to apps, find Play Store apk, clear data and force stop it.

Then re open it, its fixed!

There's nothing wrong with Tingle, it's just that it does the signature spoofing patch, not the one for Nougat that re-allows user apps to be network location providers. The link in the post you were responding to explains the situation.
