Please don't replace yalp by aurora. Make it an user option - I don't like the (ugly) design of aurora (missing black theme, no clear structure, grafical overhead, hard to read).
[Magisk] :
Black theme is there though.
[Magisk] guest4711:
I don't see any settings menu in the UI... so I cannot select it.
[Magisk] d1n0x:
You are probably using an outdated version
[Magisk] guest4711:
I use the version from f-droid. This is the version [MENTION=6439974]abacate123[/MENTION] mentioned ... (https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928/post76841410 )

The new versions look bad, but 2.0.1 beta looks slick and has light, dark and black theme
[Magisk] abacate123:
I agree with making it an user option. But, don't forget the app is beta, and it's a fork. Dark/black is there though (Settings > Select theme) and I have to disagree when you said it's ugly, it follows the latest material guidelines, it's for sure prettier than Yalp.
[Magisk] guest4711:
I do not see any menu nor any settings ... (ver 2.0.3-beta, the version from f-droid)
[Magisk] guest4711:
Ok, thanks. That did the trick. And on the dark theme there is an arrow visible which indicates that... All other swipe directions I've tried but not that. And the menu key does not work.

Sorry for been OT.

My compass is not working
[Magisk] :
Probably your rom's fault.
[Magisk] LovepreetSinghGill:
No its not my ROM fault and when I was have gapps installed in my phone the compass was working perfectly
[Magisk] :
Download a sensor test app and compare the results. I don't think Google Play Services have any effect on the compass.
[Magisk] LovepreetSinghGill:
The magnetic sensors is not working
[Magisk] Oswald Boelcke:
My personal two cents: If microG (and it's microG and not NanoDroid and should be reported in the respective thread if at all) was influencing functionality of the magnetic sensor, more than one single user would report such an issue. My conclusion: Not microG related but most likely due to hardware, ROM or the myriades of different possibilities how to configure an Android device including the applications' portfolio. And as always, a logcat had probably beneficial.
[Magisk] Clearia:
why phone sky apk size is large than google provided?
[Magisk] abacate123:
Please, read the documentations. It's a modified play store apk, this is needed in order to get the IAP (in-app purchases) function working with MicroG, since Google obviously don't officially support it.
[Magisk] Clearia:
I use TERP recorvery, and nanoDroid microG dou't flash contact sync automatically without any option to flash.
[Magisk] abacate123:
As I said above, please, read the DOCUMENTATIONS. Everything is explained there.

You should flash the setupwizard first, you select the contacts sync option on it, then you flash the nanodroid main package afterwards.
[Magisk] Clearia:
TWRP can't flash the setupwizard.
[Magisk] Oswald Boelcke:
Personally, never had any issues with flashing the wizard. As it obviously occurs to you, please provide the TWRP-/recovery.log
[Magisk] abacate123:
It does, please update your twrp. Or use an official twrp version.
[Magisk] Pupet_Master:
Ok, so i got a new phone with a ROM (MIUI) that has minimal gaaps.

I still don't want it, but i don't want to flash a custom ROM as well.

Do you guys know how can i clean the ROM from all GAAPs and then flash the Magisk MicroG?
[Magisk] d1n0x:
I would advise you to get rid of MIUI spyware and go for an AOSP ROM.
[Magisk] Pupet_Master:
I'll be honest, AOSP and lOS don't work as well on my phone, sadly. small support.

---------- Post added at 04:02 ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 ----------

Sadly due to small support, AOSP and lOS ROMs are not optimized at all for my device.
[Magisk] ydd0ras:
Yes, there is a good and easy way which I am using (when I am on MIUI). I am using MIUI only from xiaomi.eu or more globeROM. Here my steps:

1. Install MIUI

2. Flash Magisk from TWRP

3. Reboot

4. Set up your device

5. Download a Terminal Emulator app (for example

http://jackpal.github.io/Android-Terminal-Emulator/)

6. Download the latest Debloater app from Magisk downloads and install

7. Reboot

8. Open the Terminal app

9. Type su and grant root permissions

10. Check the system/app and private/app for Google stuff and debloat it. Don't remove the Package Installer and the Gboard.

11. You can check my thread here:

http://en.miui.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1780147&mobile=2

12. After debloating, you can flash the NanoDroid option of your choice. And if your ROM is deodexed, the NanoDroid patcher as well
[Magisk] Oswald Boelcke:

Trying to patch services jar on Xperia X Compact Oreo. Tried a few different zips from downloads, and tried via Magisk and via recovery, but always hangs at 'writing services jar mod'. Can anyone tell me exactly what is patched in services jar, and maybe I can do it manually, (still no working Xposed).
[Magisk] raptorddd:
try tingle you need buildprop and framework .jar if am not mistaken. and a pc.
[Magisk] levone1:
Already patched with Tingle, (been using it for years), but not enough for O. Need patch for services jar also...
[Magisk] ale5000:
Tingle should work on Oreo, anyway for problems related to it use the specific thread please :)
[Magisk] levone1:

The Changelog for 17.1a is here in the thread, if I remember correctly the Play Store was broken in 17.1.

[Magisk] levone1:
[MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] [MENTION=5627087]ale5000[/MENTION] - Curious about something... Xperia X Compact, O 8.0, latest security patch; Nanodroid patcher successfully enabled sigspoof, and MicroG flashed no problem. Self-check shows nlp boxes not checked, but location services working fine, (screenshot shows Satstat, and all map apps working well with accurate location), What does this mean? Thanks
[Magisk] kurtn:
Accurate location is GPS and has nothing to do with microG. If you switch location to energy saving NLP is used. You will get no location update as long as you don't use xposed.
[Magisk] levone1:
OK, so unlp basically won't work with this rom without Xposed compatibility module for now...
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
Ok on changes...

By the way, I thought the idea or at least a part of it with MicroG was to not have anything Google...

It would be nice if the MicroG zip could be made to not include PlayStore, for those that will not use it...
[Magisk] guest4711:
You may (de-)select it when installing, see OP (.nanodroid-setup : nanodroid_play=2 e.g.)
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
With the NanoDroid-microG-17.1a.20180507.zip, and flashing it in TWRP, not sure how/where you get the option to deslect anything?
[Magisk] abacate123:
Flash the setupwizard zip before the nanodroid main zip, it's an aroma zip (which means there will be a graphic interface on twrp and you'll be able to select or not whatever you want the main zip to install afterwards).
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
Thanks
[Magisk] kurtn:
"not have anything Google" is not part of the idea. For that goal you have to install only f-droid. MicroG helps us keeping control over how much Google we get. PlayStore is way to much for my taste.
[Magisk] :
That's why you can choose not to install Play Store.
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
You're saying two different things, first you mention, 'not have anything Google" is not part of the idea'...

Then you say PlayStore is way to much for my taste...

Anyhow I have microG installed and playing with it. Also Yalp Store is what you actually want to install Google Apps off the PlayStore, not just F-Droid... ;)

I tried this the NanoDroid way, then I installed everything by hand manually, not sure if with NanoDroid there is going to be any benefit to License Checking, but now trying to figure this out;

https://xdaforums.com/mi-a1/help/using-microg-google-apps-license-t3807401
[Magisk] D4ND310:
But you cannot make purchases/donations from our hard working Play listed Dev's via Yalp Store and F-Droid alone, other than contacting them directly to come to some kind of mutual agreement, or such, which many, *but not all*, will be more than happy to do.
[Magisk] :
For that you have to have a google account. But wait, isn't the point to have less to do with google (*sarcastic voice*). If you want to donate, a lot of developers, including those on F-Droid have their paypal links so you can donate even if you don't have Play Store installed.
[Magisk] guest4711:
I not shure whether PayPal Inc. is better (in terms of privacy) than Google ...
[Magisk] :
I guess not, but if you want to donate to devs you have to choose one of them, since some developers only use those two.
[Magisk] D4ND310:
Not everything I might like is free or open sourced. F-Droid and other .apk sites are, indeed, great but if I want, for example, to obtain an unlocking key, or fully paid app', I like the option of having the use of a G account, without the need to have the full Play 'Services' packages constantly installed and pissing me off by their mere presence.

Many apps and Developer's stores aren't anywhere else but on the Play Store, unfortunately.

One can, of course, obtain pretty much any app freely, with Uncle Google's help but it then becomes a question of morals.

I am extremely grateful for the work Android Developers put into making packages like NanoDroid, that enable my device to perform in ways that I couldn't make it so.

We really don't have to be snobbish or uppity about how other users might choose to use app's and packages on their devices, if someone wants to pretend to be an Android purist, so be it.

Also, don't forget where our operating system of choice actually comes from in the first place.

To each their own and if you maybe think that the internet and Google, the new A.I. on this planet, doesn't already know everything as it quickly becomes more and more concious, well...
[Magisk] Oswald Boelcke:
...and as a benefit to the dev's any other method doesn't eat up 30% of fees like Google does.

[MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] How does the framework patcher work: does it whitelist microg, or does it enable spoofing for all apps?
[Magisk] DoR3M3:
[MENTION=8159415]D4ND310[/MENTION], do you realize you are double talking, talking in circles?

One minute you are talking about the support of Google, for all the hard working DEVs, next options and not having Google...

Anyhow, not having Google, going a MicroG/FakeStore Route, or installing Google Play Store, isn't going to kill the DEVs, or the Development. ;)

OH, and so I'm clear here, since I haven't said it, no one is taking about Piracy and Stealing, by using MicroG/FakeStore, I'm only talking about using these for FREE apps! :)

As far as paying apps go, well I guess for now, need to have a Google Account and install some part of Google, until someone can figure out how we can do this legally without Google.

Let's be also clear here, Google is the MiddleMan/Vendor/Store/Merchant, Google is not developer of all these applications, so really Google doesn't need to be in the picture for us, the end-users to do things legally, if one day, someone creates the means of software distribution, somwhere else...

P.S. This is enough Off Topic, so let's respect the OP and now keep the discussions On Topic.... ;)
[Magisk] D4ND310:
I completely agree with everything you said, [MENTION=8949533]DoR3M3[/MENTION]. I've never heard such circular nonsense in my life.

I mean, it isn't as if I spoke in the first-person in my above reply. By mentioning my opinion on some of the pros and cons of packages like Nanodroid and Google Play Services, and lest we forget, for directly naming and shaming you there, flat out accusing you of piracy, no less, was a superb turn of the tongue! Don't you agree? Bravo! Such contrarians should be quietly and privately hanged and the precedings should be LIVE streamed to the World as fair warning, over apps like Newpipe, and the likes! That'll teach them to want to pay for software on my device! Shoot the lot of me, I say!

- - - -

Enough of this, I really am just kidding. And I was originally just spouting noisily my gratitude for this priveledged Android life I get to live here. People like Setialpha, and all the other 'Devs'(is that a racial term these days? I forget... Meh! Never mind, they can't hear me anyway, not that far away in the Developing World!), creating these things for the community is a fantastic thing. Google wanting to own me and you, record us at will, snap a few pic's when we're not looking, isn't. You know?

It is just that I have read several posts in this thread along the lines of: "Pah! Sounds a bit stupid to me. Why would you want to install and use ANY G app's if you're using this? Isn't it literally built for just the exact opposite of that purpose, you fool? Doh!" Etc. Etc. Etc.

Well, no. I don't think it is and it's kind of disrespectful to talk that way about applications that really help enable me to drop all those heavy G apps and still allow me to buy things I like in the shop.

I really don't need the big data-gathering apps and tasks that you can literally feel and sense running in the background. The Unkillable Services. But I still like the goods.

And, to be clear, for once, I really am not referring to anybody at all with the whole morals thing.

Peace to all and support your Dev's!

But then again, you never know, they might all be Google in a cunning disguise!

Fin.
[Magisk] elandroido:
You have a couple of valid points, but imho they are, as you said, off-topic.

But off topic in a way that it seems to me you do not get the point of micro-g completely.

When you are going to try out the way you describe you will notice that a lot of those free apps you refer to can be achieved from other sources but simply will refuse to run due to "missing google play services" error.

Google play services is a widely used function provider among Android App developers. I am not talking about Google apps, I am talking about Android apps whose developer has nothing to do with the company Google.

You can do with microG whatever you want, but the actual purpose of it is to give you a possibility to run all those non-google apps without install the 100MB closed source Google Play services stuff.

---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

P.S.: I wrote down my point of view on microG here https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76893084&postcount=4784

[Magisk] ydd0ras:
Less Google (or when possible no Google) is good Google. I don't want to share my life in every second with their servers. That's why I am happy about custom ROMs and such stuff like NanoDroid, microG and Co. No one is mining my data, nothing eats my battery juice, no tons of unnecessary wakelocks. Freedom of choice - for me more important than some small inconveniences caused by microG.
[Magisk] :
+1 for the option with Aurora, it'd be nice to have additional choice to install it with FakeStore just like Yalp, might not be the best design in the world but certainly looks prettier and more user friendly than Yalp.
[Magisk] abacate123:
Well, let's go, it's simpler than it looks.

You only have one setup wizard zip for everything, it's meant to be used with each one of nanodroid main zips, which means that if you want the apps, you need the full nanodroid (which contains everything that's in the other smaller packages + apps), microg and fdroid packages (as the name says) only has basic files related to microg and fdroid store, and some few extras, as you can see here, that's why most apps you selected in the setup wizard didn't install, because they're not in the package you've chosen.

And yes, to update just flash the package you're using over the previous one and it should be fine, unless the dev tells you to do the opposite.

About the addon.d support, /system/addon.d/ is a folder in most roms where the user (and sometimes apps) can put scripts that will be run when you flash a new version of the ROM. Tipically those scripts are used to backup system apps, and their files, so that they can survive a format and reflash. I don't think that you should be worried about this one too much.

I am sorry if this has been answered a bajillion times already.

I installed an unofficial build of Lineage OS that's tailored to my device, along with Magisk. Now I need signature spoofing. Can NanoDroid-patcher be installed standalone just to get signature spoofing? Can I just download it, flash it and call it a day? Or is the whole NanoDroid needed for it to work?
[Magisk] iacchi:
I don't know if you can install the patcher alone (I guess you can, though). More importantly, though, on LOS the patcher will work only if you're using a Nougat build. On Oreo it will not work as LOS became odexed.
[Magisk] piet8stevens:
Thx for that. I had not realized Oreo has become odexed. So, how easy is it to deodex ourselves? Anyone here has tried?
[Magisk] Gallion:
I ended up deciding to install NanoDroid-microG. The screen has been on "Please Wait..." for about 30 minutes now. How long is this supposed to take? Is it safe to reboot the device at this point?

Can't flash Nanodroid

Hi,

when I start the nanodroid setup wizard in TWRP it freezes for about 20 seconds and reboots then.

I tried stable and beta version. The nanodroid Zip is in the same folder.

Flashing nanodroid zip also does not work.

In the log:

"prepare installation" then three lines with config --> fallback and the last line "mode" "system" "detected".

Then it also freezes and restarts to recovery at about 25%.

I tried crDroid Oreo 8.1 and AOSP Extended Oreo 8.1 on a Samsung S5 KLTE.

Any ideas?

[Magisk] DeniTx:
i need some help to understand about this more.

I use an app which the app checks for signature spoofing with smali patcher i was able to fix all expect signature spoofing thourgh Magisk Manager, i am using signature spoofing tester and it says is disable does it have to be enabled or disabled in order for me to be able to use fake gps without any detection, i installed nanodroid and play store stopped working i tried finding signature spoofing in settings application manager-permissions but it does not show anything where i can enable signature spoofing just show contact, location, storage and phone, and the nanodroid 17 215 MB it installs a lot of apps i am not sure if i need all that to get this signature spoofing to work.
[Magisk] kurtn:
Faking GPS is completely unrelated to signature spoofing. In microG settings you see weather your ROM allows spoofing. There are several methods to get it. Nanodroid patcher is one of them.
