i cant login chrome with any version, like canary,dev,beta,orig.

but else app work fine like 7.1.

plz help me .

sorry for my bad english.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gonzalez92105:
Yeah, it doesn't work for me on oreo as well. I don't think a solution is available yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kongha:
Works well with Lenovo p2 Linage OS 14.1 (20171223 highways versions).

Thank you for the excellent work you have put into this installer.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Released microG unofficial installer 1.0.26 alpha.

It should hopefully fix problems with microG / Play Store not appearing, please test.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] scrubjay55:
Why did you put newpipe in the latest release can i ask? This installer of yours started be bloated for us who want a very simple replacement to google services. At least can you let the user what to install with aroma(maybe?)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] scrubjay55:
I use iYTBP which is way better in my opinion. Instead of shipping an app(which actually can be installed by the user as a data app) with the zip, wouldnt it be more logical to let the user to install what they want?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bearthquake:
I completely understand where you're coming from, I use iYTBP as well.

But at the same time, the Dev xcan include whatever they want. Its their project, and if you don't like it then you don't have to use it. This isn't me telling you to get out, but everything comes as is, and you either tolerate it or not :p
[Miscellaneous Android Development] scrubjay55:
I know. I just mentioned my idea and dont think there is something wrong with that.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
It is a very good YouTube replacement (and very privacy wise), like microG GmsCore is Google Play Services replacement.

At the end almost every component will be optional, I just didn't have time time to add the settings yet.

Asking how to add youtube account to newpipe app
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bearthquake:
Do some work for yourself and figure it out. They gave you the link.

If you can't figure this out, then setting up and using microg is WAY too complicated for you to use.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
I would not call it really a YouTube replacement, as it does not (and will likely never) have the log-in functionality. See https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipe/issues/679. For people like myself who rely on their Subscriptions, NewPipe in its current state does not have much use.

WebTube can be used as a fully functional open source replacement though. It is just a wrapper for the website, but still ;).

The lack of the log-in functionality is actually not mentioned anywhere on the site though. You have to dig into the Issues on GitHub to find any information on it.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
YouTube was YouTube even before being acquired by Google.

So Google log-in functionality isn't really a thing that make YouTube being YouTube.

I don't see the point of needing an account on YouTube.

If there are videos that you see frequently you can also download them.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
Yes, but right now YouTube is an integral part of Google and fully controlled by it. It is not like Android where Google Services are still simply an addition to the OS. I am just saying that many people (myself included) will expect certain functionality (such as being able to log-in with a Google account) from something called a "YouTube replacement", and it is not there :p. I would personally call NewPipe a "YouTube viewer".

sad cause google play games is not yet working
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bearthquake:
The whole point of microg is to get away from Google services, so not sure why you'd want to use Google Play games at all
[Miscellaneous Android Development] DennisMariquit:
because i wan't to play games you know saving the game data like coc land etc

Removing 70-gapps.sh on /system/addon.d then dirty flash the current ROM will remove GApps? Do you think this is gonna work?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
My installer already remove the conflicting GApps automatically (without doing anything).

Dirty flashing the current ROM after deleting the addon.d script will also work to clear all GApps.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] koniii:
Thanks for the Info

Hi, I have a problem. I installed microG installer 1.0.22 beta and google sync add-on. the play store works perfectly, even the contacts are synchronized. but gmail, you tube, google calendar do not work. an error comes out when I install them: the app can not work with an incompatible play services. do you have a solution? thank you so much
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
The solution is to not use a bunch of Google apps. Period.

If that's your goal then you need to start over with a normal GApps installation. microG is not for you.

Maybe stop by Shadow53's site and check out a few things. Includes what works and to what degree plus a list of alternative apps.

Have you manually granted the necessary permissions to each app? If not go to settings\app and chose each app you are trying to use and manually Grant the required permissions, try these to see if it works
[Miscellaneous Android Development] luso90:
yes, I granted permissions. I had read in a previous post how to do it. but it does not work. when I open applications there is an error that says the app can not work without the playback service. I extended Aosp 4.6. I install the rom, then the microG installer and then sync-addon. so when you start accessing the active rom to the google account in the microG settings. play store and contacts go. sorry for my English:confused::confused:

---------- Post added at 04:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

I do not want to use many google apps. only youtube and gmail. and it should be supported. I wanted to try microG to have better battery life and performance, because I have an old smartphone (Moto E condor).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ghst7:
So let me see if I understood it right, you are using Extended AOSP 4.6 and on the first boot after a clean flash you did toggle every necessary settings in MicroG settings before using the play store and linking a Google account, is that right? If so then I would suggest to go to settings/app and clear data and cache for each app that is not working, and grant again the permissions and finally reboot before trying to use these apps again. if not do what I said first, clean flash and before looking an account or opening play store toggle the settings in MicroG settings menu, hope it helps
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
I see. Can't add much to what [MENTION=5585095]ghst7[/MENTION] has laid out.

Before creating a Google account (even on a regular gapps ROM) I like to setup and configure the ROM and check all permissions first. For microG I make sure it is set up and all self-check boxes are checked. Things usually work out well after that.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I have tried Gmail and YouTube and they works fine.

Gmail didn't see the account at first but after manually granting the permissions it worked.

Where you get the apps?

Try to uninstall them completely, restart the device and then reinstall them from PlayStore (do not use any backup tool).

PS: Also check in microG settings => self check that everything is checked.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] luso90:
thank you all for your answers and help. now everything works! In microG settings / self-check, I had to activate and give permission to a spoofing and gmscore function, because they were not activated by default. thanks :D
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] are you working on this issue ?

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/issues/145

I see the same in AEX 5.1. Can I help somehow ?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Generally there are two issues:

1) A conflicting package

2) framework-res.apk doesn't bind to the name used by microG (and GApps)

In the case linked it is none of them, I want to fix it but currently I don't know the cause.

Any hint is appreciated.

PS: Your case may be different, try to post the /system/framework/framework-res.apk and the list of files inside /system/priv-app and /system/app
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
WHAT PERMISSIONS are you all talking about here??? Read, write, exec, or what?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I mean the contact permission in the Android settings for Gmail.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
I'm really interested in this gapps substitution, but I'm just not sure if an uninstall of gapps i.e. with "gapps-killer" and installing this project will work. ? I just need Play Store working, no other Google app.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
You don't need anything special, my installer already remove the part of GApps conflicting with microG automatically.

Just flashing it will do the switch, the remaining apps can be removed later with apps like Link2SD.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
But data and cache of all Gapps should be wiped, right? Account, sync, calendar, etc...?

Edit: just tested, not working on my RR 5.85 rom (LOS 14.1 based). Got various FC's of system apps: Play Store, package installer, calendar, etc. Wiped data/cache of the G-apps before and art cache/cache after flashing latest microG package.

What now?

:(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gonzalez92105:
Have you used some kind of signature spoofing method? Go to microg, the application > self-check > and go down the list. The first time I used micro g, I was pretty new to everything, so I didn't know about the signature spoofing that was required to make it all work. I also had FC's, but that was because I didn't flash, or used some type of signature spoofing method. Perhaps that's why you have FC's?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Sorry, the apk is to big. Shuld I do the same with a caf nougat?

Edit: Here is the apk

[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
With that rom I couldn't because I couldn't install any app anymore. But now I have a different problem with a Samsung MM rom: microG installed correctly, then I set up my google account, so far so good. But then Play Store did it's self auto updating (to v8.5.xx) and then nothing worked anymore. I neither could start PS anymore nor uninstall the update nor reinstall microG/the patched PS anymore! Not even the manually deletion of the phonesky folder could solve this problem.

Edit: (How) is it possible to prevent Play Store from self updating anyways??

Edit#2: now after flashing microG again the Phonesky folder and app are there but PS doesn't show up in the app drawer...!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Gonzalez92105:
That's a known issue. The playstore updating frequently. It'll never update. I'm assuming because it's missing some services from Google play services, or because it's a modified version to work with microG. The playstore should work after clearing its data. It'll only work until you leave the application, or up until the device thinks it should no longer be in the background. After clearing data, which should be settings > apps > Google play store > storage > clear data, it should work. I've never encountered the playstore disappearing from the app drawer, but I have encountered the issue where it updates, and no longer works. For me, clearing data works, but like I said, only for a limited time. You only need a little bit of time anyway to download the app and to disable the service that makes it want to update non-stop. To prevent non-stop updating, you need root access, and a application called "My Android tools" by WangQi. Enter the application, it should have the panel open, click on services. If the application didn't open the panel automatically, click the top left hamburger icon > services > system > look for Google play store > disable "DailyHygiene$DailyHygeneService." If the play store isn't in your app drawer after clearing data, you might have to clean flash the rom, and microg. Perhaps playstore got disabled. I know for a fact that disabling apps make it so they won't appear on the app drawer. Best of luck to you.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Well, thanks for your explanations, but I meant it did replace/update the modified PS what leads microG into a dead end in my eyes... This bad policy of Google is the reason why I considered to try microG after all.

[MENTION=5749514]v00d007[/MENTION]: I'm working on improving the cleaning but I need time.

I will reply to all your questions but I haven't had time yet.

[MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION]: The error 98 should be fixed; for the other problem I need more time.

There isn't a new version yet but you can get the updated files from GitHub.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Error 98 is fixed. Thank You.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] weigeloveu:
Thx your work it's make microg very easier to use.

Could you plz provide the uninstaller. Sometimes I want to change back to gapp.

I don't need location newpie and other things just need play store.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vagkoun83:
Thanks for this mode cause make very simple the installation of microg. I have oxygen room on op5t, root with magisk and Xposed with fake gapps. All working fine. The only problem is when I want to compose a new mail in Gmail app a message appears "Gmail having problem with Google play services, try again later". If I press ok then I can compose and send a mail without problem. Anyone have this problem or know a solution to avoid that message? All permission are granded.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
MicroG is intended to avoid closed source applications. Most of us open source e-mail clients.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
Please post a logcat.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
I have the intention to add an "explicit" uninstall and options to choose what to install but currently I don't have too much time so I cannot tell you when.

You can already call the uninstaller manually, just extract uninstall.sh from the zip, in the terminal on the phone run

su

and then

sh uninstall.sh
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
(Off topic): I really don't get what makes people use Gmail. It can't compete with other free email apps out there plus there's all the spying in your personal stuff by big brother Google... I use "Aqua Mail" and am completely satisfied with that great app (best one I ever used besides Samsung's stock one).
[Miscellaneous Android Development] :
You are speaking plural but is there really any open source e-mail app other than K9-Mail (and the default AOSP one)? I would be glad to use an open source client myself, but K9-Mail lacks some features that I need, and I have not been able to find anything else yet.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
It is bad for Google to force using their apps but it also bad to force using open-source apps (different sides but same constrains).

It shouldn't be a war, I'm for freedom and everyone should be able to choose what app to use, being closed and tracked, open and transparent or also both together.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] vagkoun83:
i hope its ok

[Miscellaneous Android Development] BishnoiAkshay29:
Thanks , it worked . one more problem if you can help

my contacts are not showing up in WhatsApp , I had to re-add manually every single contact then it starting to show up . Any workarounds. :)
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Bearthquake:
No idea. Not a WhatsApp user
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BishnoiAkshay29:
Thanks anyway :good:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
I don't sync my contacts with Google. I made a local vcf export of my contacts. After clean install I imported the vcf in contacts app. Installed WhatsApp granted access to contacts. There is a refresh option in WhatsApp-chats-greencircle-threedotmenu
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
There are the instructions in the second post:

"Enable "Google device registration" (important for Google Play Store) in microG settings." (this is to avoid error [RH-01])

To use Google contacts you need the Google sync add-on and you must also enable the contact permission for WhatsApp
[Miscellaneous Android Development] BishnoiAkshay29:
I'll try your method , thanks for the help

[MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] - I saw this reference to error 98, but I'm getting error 98 trying to flash on PA 7.1.2, Xperia Xc. Files install and self check is all good, but Play Store always crashes.

The link posted by kurtn that you replied to above is 404, so not sure if there's anything I should be looking into.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ale5000:
You just have to go at https://github.com/micro-a5k/microg-unofficial-installer

then click on "Clone or download", choose "Download ZIP", extract the zip and run build.

After that you will found the new zip in the output folder.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Yea...I already posted this problem some days ago. This really makes microG useless for me.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
That's not really doable it seems. There's a way to deal with that which has been posted in the NanoMod thread by the dev himself.

Here's what I do on every ROM, be it a microG or regular setup (like on older ROMs where I want to stick with a certain PS version - Theme Ready, black, or clear f.i).

Have MyAndroidTools or its smaller brother, Disable Service?, at the ready. Do something in it to grant root so we don't have delays later.

Turn on Airplane Mode to turn off data. Just because.

Uninstall PS update(s).

Turn off Airplane Mode. Data back on.

Run the patched PS and make sure it shows your updates/installed apps. Might have to close and reopen if needed.

Close PS and clear it from Recents.

Switch to MyAndroidTools and disable Play Store's DailyHygiene service.

Play Store should be good to go after that. Double check to make sure you're on the patched Play Store.

I run several ROMs (LP thru N) with a fixed Play Store. No auto updates. I Remember once I had a hard time as Google was quicker than me.

Screenshot is from a long time ago so don't mind the other disabled services shown.

Thanks for your efforts, will try that later. But just one thing: how uninstall PS update(s)??? Not running a TW LP rom anymore where there was the option to (in app info)... Running LOS 14.1 based or N7 ported MM roms atm.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
Good question. It's kind of hidden, if you will.

In the AppInfo for the Play Store you'll see a three-dot menu in the upper right. That's where they "hid" the uninstall updates.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Nope, not in LOS 14/Nougat roms, that's TW MM you're talking about.

But no problem, it can be all done manually.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] marcdw:
Nope. I don't have TouchWiz or Samsung.

I had to go through my apps to find an example.

Here's the Termux (a terminal emulator) AppInfo. It was flashed as a system app but later updated. You'll see the three-dot menu in upper right. Uninstall updates is there.

Running Dark ROM, LOS-based, Nougat.

Hmm, maybe if you're original patched Play Store wasn't flashed to /system originally maybe that's why it isn't there?? Not really sure.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Yes, I know what you're meaning and already seen that but never so far in LOS 14.x for the Gapps on my S5 and Note4. I already noticed for longer that in this 7.x roms those system app updates were directly written to system (replaced) and not the old way via data/app. So, they can't be uninstalled officially, what's I guess Google's intention after all...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Can't install FakeGapps2 on LOS14.1...so, everything FC :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Try nanomod patcher. Older version is OK.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] Kendryspereira:
Version 2 does not work, you have to install version 1.1.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
The strange thing is, v2 can be installed but only before flashing microG... I get thinking installing microG to a system with Gapps already installed is not working well due to the data leftovers of Gapps. Maybe I'll try it on the next clean system setup.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] nhicko95:
If i flash nanomod patcher then flash microG everything will works fine? Do i need to patch my framework?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kurtn:
Depends on your ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] v00d007:
Another thing not working for me is my local calendar. As I don't like Google knowing/saving all my personal data I don't use the account binded one. But when installing microG my local calendar disappears to my cal app (aCalendar+).
