Just flash the update, I don't think it will interfere with nanodroid if you are using it with magisk.

Hi

Are you getting safetynet fine?

I have Samsung s5

rom havoc 2.8 (Pie)

and magisk 19.4

Signature spiffing is working fine.

I installed nanodroid but I'm getting cfc profile false.

What exactly I need to do to get safetynet warking?

Thx a lot and sorry for my bead english.

Ps: I who's trying this USB debugging off - bootloader closed and open but still I'm getting cfc profile false.
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Search the thread. MicroG droidguard helper is now outdated and cant aid on passing safety net anymore. Maybe future releases will have a fix but for now microg cant pass safety net.

And also it is CTS profile not CFC
[Magisk] porypano:
:( - thx for you fast answer.

I who's reading this somewhere but I who's trying they fixed this.
[Magisk] githyanki:
It used to work, that's why there are posts about it working. It no longer works so if you find someone that says it currently is, please let is know.
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
I installed NanoDroid with MicroG. The only problem that I have with it is that there's no voice recognition app. Because of that I can't type with my voice or use an assistant. And by an assistant I mean all of them. And yeah, Aurora doesn't support IAPs.
[Magisk] githyanki:
The only one I have ever found is bundled with the Swype keyboard. Unfortunately it is no longer maintained. The next best thing is the Google app, and use afwall to block internet access for it.
[Magisk] amg314:
Try to find Voice input cutted from Google app (no gapps needed))

Buying paid applications in Aurora is not available, but previously purchased apps are downloaded without problems if you log in to your account instead of common Aurora account.
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
But where is it supposed to be exactly? I mean, I managed to get Google app's voice input working but I haven't found a standalone app at all.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Thanks for this. I installed the F-Droid, Bromite, OSM packages. Installation was flawless.

Having said that, the following features do not seem to work

- Chromecast

- Netflix: Cast icon visible, but does not connect (cast icon is just spinning)

- Youtube: no cast icon

- Safetynet: check fails

I tested this on two different devices, and also on Oreo and Pie.

However, everything else seems to work great.

I’m talking about Google app with cutted gapps, which allows you to enter text from a voice in a text editor (I use Jota+), but it does not support Google search (the "OK Google" mantra does not work.
[Magisk] githyanki:
It's just called 'Google' on the app store. Does not require gapps, but will send all voice recordings to Google unless you block internet access for it. When you do that, there's a long delay before it will transcribe, but works fine after timing out.
[Magisk] amg314:
See attached screenshot
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Thanks!

I am not much concerned about safetynet.

But how about the (to me) more important Chromecast issue? Is there any info about that?
[Magisk] :
I think I recall there was an update that fixed this. It should work. I mean to recall it worked for me aswell.
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
Where can I get the version for Magisk 18.1? My phone doesn't support 19.3. The patched Play Store, at least?
[Magisk] guest4711:
See OP: Androidfilehost: all stable releases (incl. Archive)
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
I know but how do I know which version supports Magisk version 18.1?
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
I am on the latest version, but it doesn't work. I checked the github repo and found this:

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/818

Youtube casting does not work unfortunately.

> I mean to recall it worked for me aswell

Then probably a regression? Like Safetynet. It used to work before too, I read.
[Magisk] derders:
you could search the version in the changelog

in USS Reliant support for Magisk older than version 19.0 was dropped ... So a version before?
[Magisk] d1n0x:
You could try installing in system mode, so it doesn't matter what Magisk version you are on
[Magisk] amg314:
SkyTube and NewPipe are recommended apps to use with microG.

06/01/19 Google changed SafetyNet mechanism.

Network security when using microG is currently not possible.
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
You, mister, are a genius! ?
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Understood. Youtube was just an example to underline the Chromecast issue.

At least in Netflix you can see a cast icon, but as mentioned in the github issue, it doesn't do anything. Well, let's hope it will be solved one day. And even with those limitations microG is a fantastic project (and nanodroid a great installer).
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
Does it break SafetyNet no matter what components I install tho?
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Safetynet currently doesn't work with microg. Been like that for a few months now after Google made changes to their safety net which causes droidguardhelper to fail
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
They really don't want any rivals, it seems. That's very mean, Google.

Okay. So I installed NanoDroid into the /system partition. Now Play Store refuses to connect to its servers. Says it's the error with getting data. The code is DF-DFERH-01. Closed Play Store, rebooted several times. Nothing helps.
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Go to a browser and search an app and open the link. It should open the playstore
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
It doesn't work.
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Weird, always works for me on all my devices. Try clearing cache and data for playstore then open your browser and search an app and open with playstore
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
Nope. Same exact error with the same exact code.
[Magisk] urgali:
Did you enable spoof permission for play store in settings >apps>permissions?
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
S-spoof permission? Uh... ?
[Magisk] TevW:
Spoof permissions allows an app to pretend to be another.

You can either use NanoMod's Patcher zip, or if you use Xposed, there's an Xposed module which is easier to use imo.
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
I know. I just didn't know that I was supposed to give Play Store the permission in the settings.
[Magisk] urgali:
Yes, it's a patched play store, not "original"
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
But MicroG says that Play Store has the correct signature.
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Oh ya I forgot to mention you need to give the playstore at least phone permission to sign in
[Magisk] SuaveDandy:
But it has the phone permission.
[Magisk] :
Dunno about youtube, as I dont use youtube app, I use newpipe, and that doesnt have a cast fuction atm.

Casting works with vlc, and netflix at my end, and a local app thars not relevant for you, but they work at my end.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Regarding Netflix.

That is great news. Could you please tell us the following:

What ROM?

Android version?

Netflix version?

microG version?

Chromecast model?
[Magisk] bege10:
Play Store crashes when trying to open settings inside the app.

Hi,

if I try to open settings in Play Store it immediately crashes without notice. All other functions work.

Did anybody have the same problem and found a solution?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F), LineageOS for microG 16 (Android 9)

Play Store 16.1.23

(Because microG is included in the ROM I only use Play Store from NanoDroid.)
[Magisk] :
SyberiaOS on op6

pie

Netflix 7.23.00 build 12 34429

MicroG v0.2.8.17785-mapbox

I dunno exact, but gf said its the first model released.

But I also use a tvbox a with builtin chromecast called OnePlace. Its made by LG. I dunno if there is any other places in the world that use this box though. It runs android 7.1.1.

Builtin chromecast version number is v1.36.154871
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
I have the "second generation" Chromecast, but not sure whether that makes a difference? Everything else seems to be the same.

When I open Netflix I can see the cast icon. When I press the cast icon, I can also see the name of my Chromecast device, but when I try to connect, I only get a "spinning icon" which never turns white/connected.
[Magisk] PoochyX:
I had the same issue went back to google play services now I'm watching everything

([emoji3590]09-09-18[emoji813])
[Magisk] :
I dont think so. The tv box is from last year, so its not that old. Though the firmware is ofcourse older, as it runs on android 7.1 as stated in my comment.

Is there any other apps that acctually work, or does none work to cast from? Tried vlc? I know for a fact that vlc work 'cause I used it last night, and worked flawlessly..
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Yes, VLC works (as mentioned in the github issue). I guess the issue here is that Netflix and Youtube use the

com.google.android.gms:play-services-cast-framework

. But VLC uses its "own implementation" and "bypasses" Google Play Services.
[Magisk] dhacke:
Gratulation. You sell your privacy and soul again to Google.

I guess Google is now happy again. A lost sheep returns to his master... :eek:

[Magisk] :
Perhaps gps is the issue, but I find it strange that it works for others. Tried reinstalling netflix? Wiped data in twrp? I had numerous strange issues that have gotten fixed if I wipe data. Usually fixes the issues for most people.

Or even reinstall microG too may fix the issue. I had issues with microG aswell and had to reflash, wipe data, or even reinstall my rom entierly.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Yes, I tried everything. Two differents phones, three ROMs. Pie/Oreo. Different installation methods. I did this also because of Safetynet (at that time I was under the impression Safetynet was supported lol). Always passed the microG selfcheck, but no Chromecast for all apps that use "com.google.android.gms: play-services-cast-framework".
[Magisk] :
Give this a crack hombre, if you have it available, restore a working app backup from a system under which it worked (do not restore data).

E.g. backup app from OS with Google services and restore app only on device with microG.

This method has worked for me personally with a lot of apps as they don't have to initialise that "Google setup" phase which is often required by apps.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
How did you restore the netflix app? I tried Migrate app (without data) but it did not help.
[Magisk] :
If you have root, try titanium backup. Its what I use.

Edit: do you use any adblocker like blokada, does it block it perhaps? I had some various issues with location, 'cause it was blocked by blokada.
[Magisk] Setialpha:
Or use Oandbackup instead of Titanium, it's FOSS.

In Blokada you can disable adblocking for the uNlp backends/microG, if you've got issues.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Since you mention Titanium, I guess now it is clear that you don't use Netflix, right?

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

> Or use Oandbackup instead of Titanium, it's FOSS.

I guess you are not a Netflix user either :)

> In Blokada you can disable adblocking for the uNlp backends/microG, if you've got issues

I don't use any "blocker" software when I test.
[Magisk] :
This following response presumed you have a device with Play Services and don't mind using non-FOSS products.

If there's issues backing up with the current FOSS alternatives and it's a must have for you, then this may work:

1. Back it up with Swift Backup on the Google device,

2. Backup Swift Backup with an alternative backup solution such as OAndBackup,

3. Restore Swift Backup to the microG device (this skips the Google authentication with Swift Backup),

4. Restore Netflix with Swift Backup.

I haven't tried this, I just used a bit of the ol' logic.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
I hope it doesn't sound rude, I know you guys want to help. But if you don't have Netflix, then this is just a waste of time.

But let's rephrase this question then :)

---

In Android Pie there is an option in the settings to cast the screen to Chromecast . When I try this with microG, no device is listed. With Play Services my device is listed and Chromecast works just fine.
[Magisk] :
Why would that be clear? I use netflix all the time.

However, not all apps respons kindly to restoring data. I dont remember if netflix was one of them tbh though.

In these settinga, I have some items listed, but I couldnt get it to connect to my tv box correctly. Havent tried the other chromecast yet, but if you want to, I can however check if this works when I get back home. If I remember it that is.
[Magisk] githyanki:
Yes, Netflix is one of them that will not work if you restore data.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Actually the problem is that Titanium is not able to restore the Netflix app itself (even without data). Titanium back is known to have issues with "split apks), that's why I use "Migrate App".

But I apologize, I should have said: "Probably you have not tried to restore Netflix with Titanium recently".

That would be great. And try Youtube too, please.
[Magisk] :
I managed to install a backup with titanium, but it wouldnt start. Just crashed upon starting. I was however able to restore data successfully.

That would perhaps be better, but its no problem. nevertheless, heres an update for you: i got youtube working with my old chromecast, but for some reason not netflix, I got stuck at the loading cast icon that you mentioned. My local streaming service that I also mentioned didnt even show the cast icon any more..

I couldve swore that both were working before with no issues. Ive may have run into an issue after I updated some days ago, or last week.
[Magisk] romhippo.com:
Yes, data restore works. But Titanium only installs one of the "split apk" files, hence Netflix crashes.

Thanks again for your thorough testing. I guess we basically confirmed this github issue unfortunatey. So there is still no Safetynet and Chromecast currently. But everything else seems to work great (e.g. Google Cloud Messaging). I am sure one day the developers will solve this too :)
[Magisk] Theturtguy:
This might not be the right place to post since I installed microg (using the apks) according to their guide, but it's the only XDA thread I found.

Anyhow, I fixed the "Error retrieving information from server. DF-DFERH-01" error by installing a lower version of Play Store. Since the microg website doesn't provide a Play Store apk, I got one from Apkmirror, which might have been too high from what I was supposed to have, causing the error.

Steps:

1. Download a Play Store apk. Don't download the latest available, choose one a few versions down. E.g. The latest available was 16.6, I chose 16.2. I originally chose 16.6, which probably caused the error.

2. Install the Play Store apk to /system/priv-app. You can use the App Systemizer (magisk module) to do this. (I also installed all microg applications to /system/priv-app).

3. Inside the microG Services Core app, ensure that the "Self-Check" checklist is complete, permissions are granted, and "Google device registration" is enabled.

4. Reboot, then launch Play Store. It will then update to the correct latest version. (Mine updated to 16.5, instead of 16.6).

Hope this would help someone as I spent too much time trying to make it work. I almost resorted to flashing gapps D:
[Magisk] dhacke:
Good that this way works for you but shouldn't you loose the ability now to make purchases in the play store?

Just asking out of curiosity because as far as i know only the patched play store from NanoDroid allow app purchases when using microG. The official one not.
[Magisk] Theturtguy:
Actually, I thought that was the case too... until I tried making a purchase a minute ago; it went through successfully and finished installing.

I didn't try the modified one as I assumed it wouldn't update to the latest version (does it?)

Also, Netflix which is usually hidden on safetynet incompatible devices (e.g. devices using microg) seems to be showing, which is good. Any other hidden apps I can try searching?
[Magisk] dhacke:
Good to know.

I don't use the the play store anymore (only Yalp and F Droid) but when i used it in the past i never had problems with updating the modified play store.

But i can't say with safety whether it is still the case. As said i don't have the play store anymore on my phones.
[Magisk] Setialpha:
Depends on your ROM, Stock ROMs don't need the patched PS, but custom do, because LOS/AOSP carry additional security checks.
[Magisk] TeLow:
Has anybody tried this with android Q yet?
[Magisk] azakosath:
After a clean flash of an alpha build of LOS 17 for my device, nanodroid patcher didn't work, but you can use smali patcher. Nanodroid flashes OK as magisk module, but μG has some issues (can't get an unidentified shared storage permission). I reverted back to a backup of pie and dirty flashed LOS 17 again, so far everything work.
[Magisk] saikyom:
hi there, I use google services only for :

-Sync data,sms,contacts,settings, google chrome stuff....

-autofill : fills usernames and passwords on apps.

is there a way to keep those while using microg ? I tried installing nanodroid and had none of these features.
[Magisk] d1n0x:
If you depend this much on Google services, you better just stick with gapps and keep feeding people's personal information to Google
[Magisk] saikyom:
like my buddies sending me sms asking me to go to the beach is that valuable.....
[Magisk] temporarium:
I believe what he meant is that by allowing Google access to your contacts, you are actually violating the privacy of those who are in your contact list, since you are giving away their info. Most don't care. Some, gave you that info without any implicit permission for you to share it. It comes down to it being a case of respecting others' privacy.
[Magisk] saikyom:
both of you replays didn't answer my question....
[Magisk] Ryū Kenden:
Well I guess it depends on the application you use for managing the contact, SMS and so forth. If you use Google contact, as far as I remember, you can still sync your contact if you are logged with your account also via microG.

But, if I may, if you still use all this Google functionalities, why bother installing microG? Wouldn't be better to install Pico gapps for example?

As the other two users have previously pointed out, this is ment to be used by people who want to 'share' as little informations as possible with the Big Brother...
[Magisk] garylawwd:
Hang on a second with the attitude like these guys are your slave and have to reply the way you want. They gave you an answer and that is microg isn't for you. You don't understand the core principal of microg if your just going to use all that bloat anyway its kinda pointless just stick with pico/nano gapps it will have the same impact on performance as microg if that's what you want microg for.

TL;DR

Pointless installing microg for you so don't bother
[Magisk] conbak49:
For some folks it takes us a while to get weaned from the all pervasive Google. So rather than just telling us "you aren't worthy of microg" you might want to provide educated alternatives to Google's far reaching empire if you're going to to take the time to type a reply.

"Those guys" didn't provide an answer. They just said "go away" . And no they're not required to give an answer, but they are also not required to post their judgmental, elitist, ivory tower opinions.
[Magisk] garylawwd:
There was nothing "elitist" about both of those answers the other guys left. Neither of them said "go away" either.

That person has a serious attitude problem just look at his replies.

He asked a question and got 2 very good answers as microg doesn't seem to fit his/her setup which is why he/she was given the opinion of just sticking with gapps.

If that person wanted to learn more all they had to do is ask as everyone here always is willing to help those who wish to learn more, instead they get smart answers which points to the fact this person only wants a) an argument or b) doesn't care for the opinion of others who are well more knowledgeable than they are with microg and doesn't care for correct answers just cares for the answer they wish to hear.

Really sorry for the complete ot. Any mod feel free to delete
[Magisk] conbak49:
If you're willing to do some work moving your contacts away from Google, Cardav may be a possibility. For autofill options on web pages I'm not sure but I believe Firefox browser may be able to do this.

Like you I am trying to get away from Google, but it's difficult when you may have signed up with Google years ago (in the Era when you had to get an invitation to join) before they were the data leaking behemoth they are today.

Maybe one of the more knowledgeable members here can give us some direction on how to help in our quest to not share others contact info with Google.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 PM ----------

I think you and I have different points of view on what answering a question means and on who may need an attitude adjustment.
[Magisk] marcdw:
For the first, the NanoDroid package includes the Google sync adapters (calendar, contacts) as an option. SMS is SMS. Tied to your phone number normally. But the desire to bring over all the other Google stuff is, well, depends. Chrome should work I guess. Given that microG is not 100% compatible means not everything may work as you expect. For your limited use it should be okay.

Autofilling of logins and whatnot you can probably do with apps like KeePass2Android or the like.

Moto G5S Plus XT1806, balanceOS 2.0, MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Magisk] saikyom:
I tried both microg and gapps, my main goal is the impact on battery.

I see the same impact from both, so I guess I'll stick to open gapps for now, thanks for the answer.
[Magisk] danypava:
Hello everyone, i installed NanoDroid yesterday on my phone, making sure to make everything work correctly. I have a functioning modded playstore, contact sync and GCM correctly registering (whatsapp, telegram, mails, everything fine).

Now i have a question: why isn't the eBay app working? Does it need to pass safetynet? It seems that it cannot connect to the server, it just shows an error in the front page and when i search for something it says that an Update is required (tried both installing from play store and from Aurora store). I can access the website from any browser, but not from the app itself.
[Magisk] temporarium:
No firewall? Did you check its permissions?

I don't have this app, so can't confirm it'll work without passing safetynet.
[Magisk] guest4711:
It's a problem with newer versions of ebay app even if you don't use any firewall nor ad-blocking if original g-apps aren't installed. Same behaviour on systems without any g-apps. Probably firebase is needed for proper working.
[Magisk] conbak49:
I've had the same problem with a number of apps. My solution has been to ditch the app and just use a browser (usually Firefox) to go to the web based version. It's not a perfect solution, but it seems that some apps just can't be made to function without g-apps.
[Magisk] guest4711:
So do I. I avoid using these services. If I really think I'd need them I use a browser.
[Magisk] danypava:
Got it. Thank you!
