I did all as you told plus all that's said at microG website but just can't get pass this damn screen - grrrrhh. Could my security patch level (12-2017) possibly prevent a working microG setup?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Try to add the Google account from the Android settings (not fron inside an app).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
:( Doesn't work either.... :(

Edit: there is traffic for 2s but then an endless loop...(on LOS 14.1 based rom)

Edit#2: Now tested on a Samsung MM rom, account login worked, local calendar still not there.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Released microG unofficial installer 1.0.27 beta.

It should fix a lot of problems (although not all yet).

Edit: Changelog added.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] abhifx:
was getting tons of error before (could not even install). Beta seems to flash happily.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Is there a way to get critical paid apps working with microG? My navigation software can't connect to it's server (Navigon v5.71) and refuses to start without.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mumapizza:
Its better not to bundle apps like newpipe, mozilla, nominatim... because we wont get updates through fdroid
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
In microG unofficial installer all bundled apps can be updated with F-Droid.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] docmorpheus:
With Navigon Select v5.9.2 and microG core 0.2.4-108 its no problem for me. What is your configuration?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
(At that moment) it was Samsung MM rom, Navigon Europe, same mg version. It posted "can't connect to google servers"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] docmorpheus:
Sounds to be version specific. My one is the Navigo Select promoted by Deutsche Telekom, which has a different licencing procedure I asume. Yours needs Google Play Services. I had a similar problem with another app I bought via Playstore (Wetteronline). Did you activate Google device registration in the microG settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Yes, maybe it's the version but I wanna stay with it. Device reg. option is set.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] docmorpheus:
When does the error message appear? After starting the app or after registration within the app settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Can you please save a logcat when the problem happens?

In these way we can see the problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mumapizza:
This is is with v1.0.24, its possible now to update through fdroid? nice
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I have initially used the GitHub version of Déjà Vù (before it was released on F-Droid), but later I switched to the F-Droid version.

If you flash the latest version of the installer, then everything can be updated using F-Droid.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mumapizza:
good to know, i dirty flashed .27 over .24 now play store wont sign in and also youtube cant sign in
[Miscellaneous Android Development] 2phazt:
Navigon Europe is working fine with 108 on cm13.

Never had a problem with it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Try these things:

1) Check that you have Google Device Registration enabled in microG settings

2) Check that everything is checked in microG self check

3) Go in the Android settings => Apps => Google Play Store and YouTube and then check that permissions are granted.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] mumapizza:
Microg everything checked, gave every permission available for the apps still not connecting. It just stays at the screen where top is blue bottom is white "connecting to google.. Can take few minutes.." :(

Edit: clean flashed rom, reflashed your installer zip now google sign in works
[Miscellaneous Android Development] schmanto:
Most things work well for me with the latest release, but I do get force closes on WhatsApp.. Tried to reinstall, clean cache/data, re-add account, etc... After a while I found that WhatsApp starts working again when I just open Google Play Store, but will break again after a while. How can I track down this issue? Could it also be a problem in the Rom I use? (nos 8.1 on Kenzo)

Anyway thank you so much for this, it's awesome to somewhat counter Google's grip on our devices! Will definitely follow this project closely!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
After installation and reboot, I get an bootloop :(

Lenovo Tab B-8000h (I know it is an old device) Android 4.4.2

Does anybody know a solution or is it possible to uninstall the last version?

Thanks for your help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] koniii:
Extract the uninstall.sh from the zip and run it on Terminal (from TWRP I guess)

sh uninstall.sh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
[MENTION=6720440]schmanto[/MENTION]

The last version of Whatsapp apparently has many issues with microG, see here.

[MENTION=8188015]klaus-hamburg[/MENTION]

I support all Android versions from 2.3 to 8.1.

Can you please post a logcat of the bootloop?

PS: I'm grateful if you have some time to dedicate to help me to diagnose the problem.

[MENTION=6468900]mumapizza[/MENTION]

The sign-in problems are complicated to diagnose, sometime they are just a faulty internet connection.

I'm happy to see you have fixed your problem.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
Thanks, I will try

Thanks for your reply

I restored a backup and found Google code snippets - may be this could be the reason for bootloop?! - so it is not a problem with your "zip"

I will try to remove all Google code snippets, install again and report the result here - unfortunately earliest wednesday next week
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
[MENTION=8188015]klaus-hamburg[/MENTION]

My flashable zip automatically remove the part of GApps that conflict with microG so there may be a problem in this part.

After you have flashed the zip (do not restart the phone) can you please select the option in the recovery to copy the LOG to SD and post it here?

In this way I can know what it removed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
the recovery.log is empty :mad:

I don't know what to do .... :(

only a screen picture from installation in twrp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Can you please try to flash this version that automatically create a file named debug-a5k.log in the same folder of the zip?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Phil_Smith:
From the OP I understand that the GoogleSync Add-on does not work on Oreo 8.1.. Is it definitely like that or is there a chance?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Currently I haven't tested it (it may work but I'm not sure).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
Thanks,

I will do it asap ;) and try to provide the "debug-a5k.log"
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
hopefully it will be helpful

Thanks

After installtion my Phone stuck in bootloop :crying:

My Phone:

LG G6 (H870)

ROM: Fulmics 3.5

Kernel: Melina rel7
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Could you please after got a bootloop restart in recovery, extract uninstall.sh and then run sh uninstall.sh and see if Android now start?

This will remove microG (but it won't readd GApps), in this way I can know if the problem is caused by a component installed from the package or one removed by the package.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] K3V1991:
Any time i uninstall google play services my Phone hangs in a bootloop :eek:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Safest way to uninstall play services is wipe system and flash a ROM without gapps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] K3V1991:
For sure, but i need the stock cam

BTW: On my old LG G3 all works perfect
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Could you please take a logcat of the bootloop?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] K3V1991:
How to logcat the bootloop?

ADB in rec menu:

adb devices

adb logcat

copy text after boot fail?

Total noob in logging :rolleyes:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Yes, but to save in a file use: adb logcat > logfile.txt
[Miscellaneous Android Development] K3V1991:
[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION]

Logcat with bootloop

1. Booted to TWRP

2. ADB - Logcat Command

3. microG installed

4. Reboot

5. ADB - Logcat Command

6. Bootloop drops

7. Copied Logcat

Hi,

could you both restore the ROM in a working state then flash this please?

I would like to know if there is an improvement and also I would like to see the new debug-a5k.log
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION]

sorry for late reply.

I'm in family time until sunday evevning. So I will try to do it latest on monday evening.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] K3V1991:
No improvement :crying:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] pokipokipxorn:
anyone tried xPosed for Oreo 8.1? Coz it was reported FakeGApps v2.0 is working. It's an easy way to get Signature Spoofing.

Which is the more accurate way of determining properly applied signature spoofing? microG checker in the options screen or Lanchon-SigSpoof-Checker-1.0? Or should I test GCM Push function?

EDIT: I'm flashing the xPosed framework now on 8.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
The nanoDroid patcher is my preferred method. I use Xposed only when ROM is odexed. Test with microG.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] klaus-hamburg:
Hej,

same to me, no news, bootloop again :(

Please find attached the log

Thanks for your help
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zolyyy:
Cant login into Chrome on LineagOS 15 . Permissions enabled, and delete google account and add again. Why?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
yalp store

[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION], sorry for getting off toppic, but I know you worked with yalp store in the past. I've learned that yalp not only has a apk in f-droid. There is also a flashable zip in https://github.com/yeriomin/YalpStore/releases. This should work without setting "unknown sources" active. My problem is: This zip has no addon.d support. So it's vanished after ROM update. Is there a solution for YalpStore without unknown sources?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I don't know what you mean, I have never worked with Yalp Store.

Beside that, I will create a separate flashable zip in the future with useful software including Yalp Store (configurable).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] hungvip2001:
Include google apps replacer, please.:D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmonty14:
Hi,

can you please explain why you deploy "Google Play Store 7.1.25.I-all" and not the latest version?

Or can I simply upgrade / install the latest version, e.g. Google Play Store 8.8.12, from any APK mirror?

THX
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
The included version contain only Java code (without any binary library) and it is also nodpi (work with all screen size) so it can be reliably installed universally in all devices with Android 4.0+.

The first time you use it Play Store will auto-update and it will auto-pick the correct update file.

PS: You can also simply update from APK mirror but I suggest to leave it update itself if you want to use the latest version.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Oswald Boelcke:
You should certainly can... Just remember to rename the apk to Phonesky.apk, to move it to root/system/priv-app/Phonesky and to ensure the apk has permissions "644". Afterwards reboot.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmonty14:
Understood.

My issue is that I can use an image from LineageOS that includes MicroG but Google PlayStore is missing.

I'm now searching for an simple way to install Google PlayStore after MicroG is configured.

Any proposal for this use case?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I have the intention (when I have some time) to add support for LineageOS ROMs that already include microG.

Please link the ROM that you use.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmonty14:
Sure.

This is the link to the ROM.

I found this accidentally.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] maybe you can link this https://xdaforums.com/android/general/index-list-custom-roms-offering-t3557047 in your second post (signature spoofing)

It is sad people have to find things accidentally.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] cmonty14:
Is there any option to use the included version of Google PlayStore only w/o the other files for ROMs that include MicroG?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] zolyyy:
Why cant login into chrome? I use lineage os 15
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bearthquake:
Because your device isn't a registered google device after using this?

The whole point of microG isn't to have a better google service, but to use a phone without any google service. If you're planning on using google apps then there's literally no point in using this.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Well, in my opinion, if you do not want to use any Google service, then you should also not use microG.

MicroG just provides an alternative method to use some of the Google services without all the tracking, telemetry, bloat, etc., which in general terms means more privacy (and better performance on slower devices). If someone really expects microG to provide all the Google services, then they are a little bit unrealistic and should probably just stick with the official GApps. However, at least for some of them, microG does the job well.

As far as Chrome goes, you just need to close the app completely, go to the system settings and enable the Contacts permission for it, and then reopen the app and try to log in again.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] rayman95:
just tried your zip to install on 8.1 version for samsung galaxy note 3 hlte, but it cause some issues..can't install any apks, the explorer fc....

Hello all.

Should I have a playstore base apk with lib and oat file in data/app/com.android.vending AND a playstore apk as phonesky in system/priv-app/phonesky? Because I do. And ps has, once again, started crashes upon opening.

Don't I remember always having one or the other but never both?

Thanks.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
That just means the Play Store updated itself, like it always does.

You can try the following...

Install MyAndroidTools or Disable Service.

Uninstall Play Store update.

Run Play Store and make sure it lists the updates and installed apps.

Quickly go to one of the above tools and disable the DailyHygiene service of Play Store.

Play Store should be good to go and hopefully not autoupdate after that.

Using xposed 8.1 with fakegappsv2, signature spoofing works, no need patcher, which means ROMs which cannot be deodexed can be used with microg.

After installing installing microg in my z3c I've the following problems:

- the device constantly drains the battery

- device doesn't wake up after 15 min. (I need to reset with power +vol up/down)

How do I know? left my device on standby over night and after the reset Ii saw that the battery status was on 37% (form 100%).

No matter if I try the installer here or do everything per hand. Everything on microg side says it's right configurated. It's the third Installation on a clean stock. I deleted everything what's Google related and installed everything right. Anyone here with the same experience? I know stock rom is a bit ****ty for microg but I can't figure out why the device is always draining the battery. I see nothing unusual on different battery status tools. Apart frorm that everything works (store, gps, maps etc)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=2726300]chillma[/MENTION], it is better to find out what's draining the battery than wonder why. Install something like BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector or both. They will give you an idea of what's going on.

Also in Settings -> Battery check what the Mobile Network Signal looks like (below the full graph).

On my other device with microG it sleeps very well. Little to no drain from microG-related services.

What does Google Sync Add-on do? Is it for automatic sync of data to google servers? Will it work on 8.1?

Sorry, new to FOSS so I wanted to ask before I flashed it!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Google Sync Add-on install the official Google Sync apk files (to be used together with microG) to sync calendar and contacts.

This part isn't open source but it is the only "reliable" way to sync them (the other way is mor complicate and can be broken in the future).

With the recent WhatsApp update the app became unusable on my device. It was working before with many crashes, but now it won't open at all.. Is there any way to fix this?

My device is Kenzo with NOS O 8.1, magisk 16, microg, and xposed

Really love this project, but I still have to rely on WhatsApp..
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Tried to delete app data?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] schmanto:
Thanks, I tried and now it works like before (I think)! As I said, the regular crashes are still there - I already got used to those. Maybe one day we could see a permanent fix?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
NOS has built in signature spoofing. You don't need xposed for that. Maybe you reduce crashes by disabling xposed.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] schmanto:
You are right, crashes are pretty much gone when disabling xposed! Don't really wanna abstain from xposed, but at least now I know where the issue seems to come from.

Thank you!

Contacts stopped

Privet, Ale5000!

First Ever 8.1 ROM

Have installed microG unofficial installer 1.0.27 beta and Google Sync Add-on 1.0.3 beta.

Self-check is okay (except UnifiedNlp). Google Play works well.

It is a problem "Contacts stopped". Have tried a lot of Contacts app versions, tried to stop Google Calendar Sync и Google Contacts Sync, tried to switch off McService of microG Services Core. Nothing helps.

What should be the solution?

Thanx.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
Will the installer work if some microG parts already installed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
The installer try to remove the existing ones before installation.

If you tell me exactly what you have installed and how you installed them then I can say it more precisely.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
Thanks [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION],

unfortunately, the installer didn't help with my problem:

On CarbonROM (Oreo), moving GmsCore to /systems seem gets Location working, but UnifiedNLP ticks in microG Self-Check still don't appear(it was rebooted).

What else could I try?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
The text next to the ticks often gives a hint what to do. Can you send a screenshot?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:

[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
In such cases the only method working for me is http://repo.xposed.info/module/be.r3w6.intika.xposedunifiednlp

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
Thanks.

I don't have gapps. May the xposed module be still needed?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
I don't have gapps either, but some ROMs have maybe a gapps-like location provider?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
In my case, there were no location providers worked until I installed microG. So UnifiedNLP DOES actually work, but microG Self-Check says it doesn't.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Did you set location to "energy saving" to check if NLP works?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
Yes, it does.

According to logs, self-check even doesn't ask for nlp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
What happens when young uncheck the backends in UnifiedNLP settings?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bam80:
The Location stops working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
[MENTION=5308112]raptorddd[/MENTION]: Check that you have Google Play Store 5.1.11 (later versions have problems) and that it doesn't auto-update itself.

Also please send me a copy of the zip that you have used previously so I can look at it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] raptorddd:
yes it is 5.1.11 and it have not update it itself.

heres the one i use it already comes with PS.

but since its old playstore version what i do is leave the playstore that comes from rom as its most recent. so i dont have to update later. all i do is unzip it, then delete the playstore so it doesnt install old version. in aroma i just choose the first selection. and all its good.
