[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
The problem of Xposed is not the framework but the modules you have installed. Do you really trust the devs of your modules? Anyway there are already hundreads of crappy apps available on Google Play that can do harm.

Android has many flaws and how many people receive the latest security updates and have Android Oreo?

Not forgetting closed-source apps for which you granted root access or folks who download apps from warez websites or use ****y patcher...

IMHO Xposed and a module such as XPrivacyLua can do more good than harm.

Finally I decided to flash GApps Pico because several things didn't work properly. I mentioned a few things but I could also say that push notifications didn't work most of the time. I'm not fond of push notifications but it's useful sometimes. For example I wasn't able to receive price alerts from Delta app (cryto currency management).

I still support this project and I really hope that things will be improved in a near future. However it's clear for me that most XDA devs are not really concerned about privacy and security. Very few promote open source and free/libre softwares so I'm afraid that OP is still going to be on his own for a good long time...
[Android Apps and Games] SilentEYE:
I can understand your decision.

Most long term microG users don't use any warez on their phones.

I am quite sure they are mainly up to date within 1 to 3 months of the latest security patches, thanks to LOS, AOSP, etc.

The sacrifices of battery life, in privacy and security are more than enough for me to go another way, then using xposed and opengapps again.

OSMAnd under LineageOS for microG?

Hello Forum,

Will GPS apps like osmand run under LineageOS for microG?

Thank you for every feedback!

Joe

PS

Since I did not yet flash LineageOS for microG to my mobile phone, i am unable to test it myself
[Android Apps and Games] n76:
OsmAnd (I happen to have Osmand~ installed from F-Droid) and Maps.me both work fine on Lineage for microG.

A long while back, before gmsCore when only UnifiedNlp was available OsmAnd worked just fine too. Actually OsmAnd will work without gapps or microG just using GPS only. It is just much faster on most phones to get a location if you have some sort of network based location provider. That allows you to get started on your navigation, etc. while the GPS is still acquiring.
[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
Totally concur with @n76!

Running OSMand+ (currently v2.9.3) perfectly on all of our three Samsung i9305's (all with RR-N-v5.8.5-final, Magisk v16.0, Xposed, XPrivacyLua, microG via NanoDroid).

Hello,

Is the Chromecast API finally implented into MicroG?

That's the only reason why I can't switch from GAPPS.
[Android Apps and Games] dic1911:
Why you didn't check this page before you ask?

Is it that hard for you to search?

btw nobody cares if you can switch over or what, microG is lightweight and privacy-friendly, there must be some price when you want privacy or other advantage like more battery juice or better performance, accept that or walk away.

I've been using MicroG for a few days and it works great! Didn't expect SafetyNet functionality to actually work haha. But it does break most Google Apps like Google Play Games and Google Maps. I recommend using the web app for Google Maps, that works fine.

What it really need though is the ability to MANUALLY add apps to Google Cloud Messaging. Automatically adding newly installed apps to GCM does not work for me at all (WhatsApp and Telegram) and reinstalling all my apps (100+) to get GCM is also no option. This would also fix the battery draining bug when using MicroG with old apps installed that needs GCM.
[Android Apps and Games] 2phazt:
I'm running microg for 2 years now on my s5 without problems - thanks for this.

Now I'm facing a small glitch, that is maybe related:

I'm using a Fossil hybrid watch that is paired with my phone which is working fine. But in the fossil q app I can't add a location for my working place.

Has anyone a comparable environment or a solution?
[Android Apps and Games] Mynacol:
If you know Threema, in this app you can re-register the app in GCM, but this doesn't work in most apps.

You HAVE TO reinstall all apps you want GCM to work with.

P.S.: Try to avoid restoring the apps or app data with a backup app like Titanium Backup...

Has anyone had trouble with Flashfire not working due to Firebase incompatibility? I tried reinstalling but after it gets to "Checking for Pro..." it crashes every time. This is a real problem if so
[Android Apps and Games] patrickdrd:
you won't be getting notifications,

because it's a well known bug in tibu,

i.e. the token is not restored,

so your device doesn't register with gcm (google cloud messaging) and

you won't be getting notifications,

you've got to login in each of many problematic apps and

then restore each app's data

[Android Apps and Games] tarunnurat:
Downloaded apk's not installing after installing microg

Hi, I have a strange problem. Any apps whose APKs I download (For eg., I tried with ES File explorer) won't install AFTER I install microG. If I downloaded the apk before installing microG, it installs normally, but anything downloaded after installing microG won't work. Like the installer itself does not even open. Does anyone have this issue?
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
It possibly there is something wrong in the procedure you used to install microG.

Try to list all steps.

PS: If you have used a script to remove GApps in most cases you broke the ROM because they usually remove too much.
[Android Apps and Games] tarunnurat:
I simply flashed the Nanodroid microG package on a fresh factory rest install of my ROM. Should I post on their forum?

@MaR-V-iN: Thanks to the second post above I learnt about the page "Problem Apps". Please allow me to report that I'm running Öffi without any issues for many months. ROM is use: RR-N-v5.8.5-final i.e. by my information based on LOS 14.1. Very far in the past, I also experienced that Öffi didn't install after my transition to microG till I learnt that MapsV1 are a definite requirement (as for some other applications). Since then, nothing strange to report.

Device: One Plus 5 // crdroid (8.1)

Now why I'm posting here. Since yesterday the Playstore says I'm using a "not certified device" and the SafetyNet won't work anymore as well. And the last problem is that I'm not able anymore to register WhatsApp or Threema with GCM.

Now my questions:

1. What can I do against the SafetyNet and certification status?

2. Will you implement FCM in the future?

Thank you in advance and

Best regards

Regarding 1: DroidGuard was updated, so only an update to microG, respectively it's DroidGuardHelper will solve it, it's already been reported on microG's GitHub.

[Android Apps and Games] Oswald Boelcke:
These two XDA Forum articles might be useful:

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-removes-100-device-registration-limit-uncertified-device-page/

At least I got rid of this notification on the bottom of the Play Store settings. And all my four application that are allowed by me to register with GCM are working - proved again yesterday. However, I'm using neither SafetyNet nor Whatsapp nor Threema i.e. I don't know if it's solving your issues.

Please be aware that I enabled all disabled services for play store and reset the play store to default after the registration with Google as in the above link articles. Then the "not certified" note was gone. Disabled the desired play store services again.

In your original post you should've specified your ROM, android version, and whether or not you debloated (removed gapps from a stock ROM for instance).

It is rare that a ROM wouldn't have webview.

Anyhind, if installing a webview apk doesn't work you can obtain a flashable webview from below.

[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I can't read the error, but based on it being Niantic, my guess is you aren't passing safetynet. If that's the cade, you'll need to install the DroidGuard addon and possibly wait for an update - I don't use it but have seen mentions of it needing to be updated to pass safetynet.

To get a better answer, you're going to have to translate the error for those who can't read it.

[Android Apps and Games] Shadow53:
I've used Piereligio themes with microG in the past without problems, though they require the Play Store to be installed in order to pass runtime license checks. You can flash the Play Store by itself from https://shadow53.com/android/downloads/microg/
[Android Apps and Games] marcdw:
[MENTION=887111].wojtek[/MENTION], I come across that issue every so often. Themes become unlicensed which just happened on another device/ROM running gapps. So not necessarily a microG related thing. Had to uninstall & reinstall those themes. A pain since uninstalling removes existing overlays.

Then again, even with gapps I block services to keep Play Store from updating which occasionally causes issues.

[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
[MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] the thing is - I don't have PlayStore as I try to get away from Google as far as possible (one of the points of using microG).

@ marcdw never had that problem with previous ("full") setup with opengapps (and native PlayStore) but I'm trying to make it work using microG without PlayStore and now I'm pondering if it's possible at all
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
You can't verify any license obtained from Play Store without Play Store, so no, not possible. A few apps like Tasker have a direct purchase version, which would still work of course, aswell as apps bought outside from Play Store (like on XDA Labs) obviously.
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
This apply to apps that check the licence - I bought a couple of them via PlayStore and they work fine. And also TitaniumBackup with native licence.

I'm generally leaning more towards app which allow buying outside of the PlayStore for the exact reason of not being locked in to Google eco-system (and with less and less dependency on the whole "smart" part of the phone it's getting easier and easier ;) ).

tl,dr;

So it's a no go without PlayStore - I was hoping it could be done with alternatives. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Setialpha:
Yes, some apps do their own check. Also: if you verified the license through Play Store and then remove it to use Yalp Store instead, they still work, as most apps only check the license once. Except Substratum, it always checks, sadly even for free themes (likely 'cause it doesn't know if it's a free or paid theme beforehand).
[Android Apps and Games] DNikola:
I read some posts and not understand some things..

First i see someone use Google Play Store with microg? That is possible..?

Second i installed microg on my phone with Lineage14.1

Everything working fine..i use Galaxy Store Alternative ( now is Aurora Store)

And i successfully sync my contacts with DAVDroid

I have facebook,messenger and some few apps but when install telegram he say i need Google Play Services but telegram working with that notification..

Did i do somthing wrong?
[Android Apps and Games] guest4711:
For telegram you may use the FOSS version from f-droid: https://f-droid.org/app/org.telegram.messenger

It's running fine without any needs for google framework.
[Android Apps and Games] .wojtek:
I installed freshly rom and microG so Play Store was never present (well, it was before the wipe ;) ) so that could be problematic.

Thanks for all the info.

Most likely you would have to enable messaging service / push notification in microG settings and/or install latest version of microG from the page (not stable but revision - from the dropdown menu on the page). Had similar issue and Telegram was complaining because microG was reporting older version of google play services.

[Android Apps and Games] flips13:
Yup, using microg with Play Store and working fine.

Telegram may show notification, that you need to update/install play services. I suppose, that this is because of different versions of play services and telegram uses updated version, while microg is not the latest version of play services.

[Android Apps and Games] Hiempsal:
Hey guys,

So here's the thing, ever since I installed microG on my phone, it has been working much better : smoother, more safe and more stable than if I had GApps. By the way, I greatly thank the team behind the development for their very good work.

Nevertheless, I do have an issue. The only thing I want synced is my whatsapp history message, and to do so I have to connect to my gmail account. And whenever I do that (through the option "Add an account" in Settings), I have battery drain. BBS shows me that the phone is trying to sync my contacts with my google account, only when the screen is off. The only solution I find so far is to delete the google account and add it whenever I want to sync my whatsapp history messages.

Can you tell me if there's a solution for that problem ? Like, for exemple, how to prevent contacts from trying to sync with Google servers ? NB : I do not wish to sync them, I just want it disabled.

Thank youu o/

[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
It is still still the case since it is a pretty recent thing.

Your crash is probably unrelated since it should fail without any crash.

You should check that you have installed everything correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Okay I will do. Last time it was working I had the same setup, but maybe I got something wrong.

I'm using shadow53's flashable zip which usually goes okay.

Could be a ROM issue I suppose.

[Android Apps and Games] Dobsgw:
Actually on the off chance it helps anything here is the log of the crash.

I'm not sure if its the absence of 64bit .so files or that something is missing for it to work.
[Android Apps and Games] ale5000:
The problem is usually the order, microG must be installed before any other app.

Also to work perfectly microG should be installed before the first boot of the ROM; it may work in other conditions but it could cause many problems.

You should also check signature spoofing.
