Let's continue pollution with some microG praising. When I get a new phone with lineageOS Oreo support, download.lineage.microg.org is the place to go. Thanks for keeping last nougat build. It is much more stable and usable than what we get with Oreo at the moment.
[Android Software Development] ydd0ras:
I have the Oreo build on my mido. Absolutely stable. Haven't found any issue.

Weather provider? AudioFX? Battery? Lockscreen weather?
[Android Software Development] ydd0ras:
Battery is cool for an 2,5 years old device. I am using (maybe, because business device) Viper instead of AudioFX? Weather provider? Lockscreen weather? One look through the window or a forecast in browser, that's it. Kinderkram! For me it's stable enough and have all I need.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Viper magisk module?
[Android Software Development] ydd0ras:
Yep! Using that on all devices, no matter if LOS / LOS microG / eelo.

This issue must've been solved somewhere else, but I am getting restless now. I flashed the ROM yesterday and was having issues syncing my contacts but after hours of digging found [MENTION=7126506]Shadow53[/MENTION] zip for calender and contacts sync and it got solved. YouTube and other google apps were working fine until I realised that I couldn't login to XDA without the google login implemented, I went back to pie, backed up XDA app data and came back here. And now I'm stuck with the same contacts issue. To make matters worse, YouTube(vanced) doesn't work too.

This is my first time using microg and I really don't have much knowledge on it. Any help would be appreciated.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Try to get rid of Google. Get your contacts and store them in a local vcf file. Don't use Google account for login at XDA and other sites. Use a free password manager if you can't remember all logins.

Use newpipe for YouTube, or open it in a web browser.
[Android Software Development] ydd0ras:
Absolutely agreed. If microG, then completely without Gugle supremacy.

Hi all ,

I'd love a Microg-lineage ROM forMoto X 2013 but asit was dropped by lineage I have not much hope.
[Android Software Development] baxxter106:
i, for myself have a synology ds218+, there is caldav and carddav for calender and contacts. on the phone i use davdroid for sync.

my pictures (and vids) will every day automatically synced to this nas when i log into my home's wifi.

with the dyndns service of this box i am able to connect from everywhere to get my files...

no Google - no other cloud "service" - ALL data belong to ME!
[Android Software Development] ttocs99:
OK, I don't know if I'm on right thread but maybe its still relevant i have a blackview a30 and have flashes a vannila gsi from phhusson on Oreo 8.1 but because it vannila there no google apps and my problem is that I can't receive push updates like from WhatsApp or email and that relies on google services. So could micro g help me with this or something called floss? I has to go vannila as I got device not certified when flashed a gsi with gapps installed.
[Android Software Development] d1n0x:
I use neither Gapps nor MicroG and Whatsapp works fine. If it doesn't detect Google services, it will fall back to a legacy polling method. You will have to add an exception in battery optimization settings though.
[Android Software Development] godofsalt:
So, I was extremely interested using a Nano Droid zip.... BUT...

After trying to check everything thing out, I actually found "Lineage for MicroG Project" on the web. Downloaded the zip. Check out tons at Github ...

Flashed it Yesterday. HOLY MOLY Seems that I was up and going in no time at all. Honestly the reminds me of the 2.0-2.1 days !!!!

had added Yalp , and really started to have this up and going.

Problem though--- NO SIM (info- put the phone down, about 1130pm last night, was on a charger. Now at 7am it reads that I have no sim (pull down not notifications , reads "NO SIM -Sprint" across the top bar)) I can say, I checked that last night, made/receive calls and text last night. Plus, I actually received a call, while in this No Sim issue. Unable to even get into the "Mobile Data" to change anything. (yes, power off, uninstall reinstall sim, did not do anything.

Well, back to Lineage with OUT MicroG at the present time.

Need to find a thread like this, for my devise (Galaxy S5) . Will report back, about this when I have it fixed, Hopefully soon.

Glad to see that this Project in in XDA!!!

Wow, a Rom, Already put together, with MicroG there.

Sorry to read that LineageOS really did not want to get into this sort of thing.
[Android Software Development] guest4711:
It's a known problem on a lot of sammy devices: The sim card holder is weak. If the temperature of the battery raises the card may lose the contact. Some people reports that putting a peace of paper behind the card helps to get rid of this problem.

Look into your device's forum (propably general questions) to find more information.
[Android Software Development] godofsalt:
Thanks for some info. I will look into that. However, I have never had that issue before, on any Rom, that I have flashed.

But, I will check that out, I know that the Battery was warm, when I was doing this. Due to this issue, I put on a back up 8.1 Rom.

Besides this issue, which may be fixed, I find this an rather nice. I just an actually amazed at how the S5 Handled everything. Like scrolling from one homepage to another. Which was rather fast.

Thanks again.

Anyone know anything about getting this onto a Pixel sailfish. Tried many different methods, at best I was able to get it booted with a crashing Telephony that would't let me get past the setup page without tapping the screen so fast... and the phone got HOT! really HOT!

I am quite sure that its because I was not starting from the correct base images, but I tried all the latest 8.1's I could get my hands on, and they are all obviously too old to work with the latest builds :(

I deleted my titanium backup of GMAPS 9.82.2 by accident, and today with clean install of version 9.82.2, I still cannot get the offline maps because GMAPS does not add the account, even though the account is seen in GMAPS.

What is the last version of GMAPS devoid of bugs for micro-g on LOAS 14.1 ?
[Android Software Development] Alister.:
I'm having issues, with google cloud messages, i was reading lots of apps have switched to firebase cloud messaging, tho apps won't receive notifications is there some method to no which apps use google cloud or firebase, besides just seeing no messages delivered?

I believe in microg settings even tho i enabled device registration, google cloud messaging before installing apps that no last seen times would show till i installed the droidguard apk that i extracted from nanodroid, unsure if droidguard is some type of requirement for gcm to work? other issues checking last seen times don't seem to match when i'm receiving messages, seems there are problems with google cloud messages working properly. Some apps won't receive anything i'm just assuming there firebase cloud but unsure.

Other part i use AfWall+ does anyone no a list of things that must be allowed to run that are specific to the functionality of microg working properly? and i do have everything i allow internet access to to only work over a vpn connection not the regular data connection so again unsure if this can cause issues. i no for example i have to allow nominatim geocoder backend over vpn for location to work correctly.

Things in AfWall+ that look specific to to microg are Apple UnifiedNlp Backend, Fake Store, microG DroidGuard Helper, microG Services Core, Mozzilla UnifiedNlp Backend, think i mentioned them all nominatim geocoder backend

I read on another thread if using AdAway you have to whitelist mtalk.google.com and if you don't it can cause issues with google cloud messaging, not sure if this is still accurate, i also recently worked out trying to disable battery optimization on anything that pushes google cloud messages unsure it's effect so far. My experience with receiving push notifications is to unreliable.

I actually read over 50+ pages in this thread and some of this is unclear.

Appreciate all help. Thanks.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Start with a more simple setup. Only ROM and one app without battery optimisation. Maybe that app establishes a own messaging channel. Next try nanodroid microG.
[Android Software Development] Alister.:
Yeah i didn't notice the current state was disconnected for google cloud messaging, afwall+ was blocking it, i allowed microG Services Core, it works now google play services has to be allowed for gcm so makes sense that fixed it.

I have an application, i unregistered for google cloud messaging it says not registered, allow registration is turned on it still says not registered, do you no if there's a way to fix that? without uninstalling and reinstalling the app?

I guess mtalk.google.com really does need to be whitelisted in AdAway for google cloud messaging, found the reference here https://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
That's the s**t about proprietary software. You can't know what it really does. I've restored WhatsApp with TB and no white listing in adaway. After some weeks WhatsApp registered and now I get gcm.
[Android Software Development] Alister.:
It probably is a good idea to whitelist what i said before dozens of things mention it, tho i believe i experienced what you did as well if any app isn't receiving notifications like you said it took weeks i noticed removing an app and reinstalling it made notifications start working. I did read there used to be a bug whatsapp wouldn't appear registered or update last time a message was received yet push notifications worked fine, that's fixed now since i don't experience it.
[Android Software Development] -Happy Feet-:
Have the same error on my nexus 5x and pixel devices. How can I solve this?
[Android Software Development] guest4711:
Install "Magisk Hide Property Config" module from Magisk Repo.

And see the good FAQ at https://www.didgeridoohan.com/magisk/MagiskHide
[Android Software Development] -Happy Feet-:
Not working :(
[Android Software Development] madbat99:
You need a newer magisk manager perhaps.
[Android Software Development] -Happy Feet-:
Have the latest version 18.0
[Android Software Development] madbat99:
Try a different safetynet checking app. Can a device even pass safetynet with microG? Magisk uses it's own API I believe.

But you can try the magisk hide props config module. You have to do more than just install it. You have to configure it and set the prop values you want to change.
[Android Software Development] -Happy Feet-:
I tried other apps for testing always the same. I think I install lineage without microg and test it again. Then I move the microg apps to /system/priv-app and test again.

Let's see what happens

Request for help: with first steps to setup migroG to actually play with Google

Hello guys!

I have just installed the microG for lineageOS ROM on my Nexus 5x (bullhead) for the first time and having problems to set it up to run with Google cloud.

I don't know what to do to make synchronization of contacts/calendar work. I don't know what to do to use Google Play under my Google account. Although I have successfully logged to my Google account in the system settings and added the account to the contacts app - nothing happens. What is the path to setup access to the Google Play Store? Is just installing the Yalp Store app enough?

I am extremely glad :D to learn, that there are implemented ways to use truly free alternatives e.g. to Google location "spying" service!

Can you give me some pointers, please, on what steps in order to take? What should I check first, what I might need extra to learn about? I have just an experience of simply installing ready ROMs and Gapps on Nexus devices, that's all.

Thank you for any hints or pointers.

Regards,

Bartero
[Android Software Development] hussaint:
Unfortunately the only reliable way to sync Google contacts and calendar is to use their proprietary sync adapters.

You can find a straightforward guide here: https://shadow53.com/android/downloads/google-sync-adapters/

It is much easier to flash the zip via TWRP but also works fine to install the system apks and update permissions yourself... see the guide and you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

I use fdroid in the first instance for finding an app to fulfill s particular requirement. If I have no luck finding a match, or there is a particular app I am actually after, then I resort to Yalp, which is great.

Good luck.
[Android Software Development] bartero:
Thanks a lot man!

Do you think there is a risk of using own regular Google account with Yalp?

I am referring now to the warning present by Yalp itself, that it actually breaches the terms of use of Google Play store and it recommends setting up a fresh account for the purpose.

Bartero
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
Do you really want that much contact to Google? If yes, stay with GApps. If no, don't sync calendar ant contacts, get them from Google and that was the last time you logged in with your google account.
[Android Software Development] bartero:
Thanks for reply!

I got laughing, as you got me straight to the point! :)

Yes, I see there would not be much trouble to find other means e.g. some other cloud service to backup contacts or another service for calendar.

However what about some particular valuable apps, which are published only on their Play Store? How do you cope in such scenarios?

Bart
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
In those scenarios I use yalp. ..and for payment: we don't talk about warez in XDA. But is it warez if you already did the payment and now search for an alternative?
[Android Software Development] madbat99:
You don't use them then. Why try to eliminate Google footprint, only to try and use all their apps and services?

Sync to Google contacts while you have all their stuff installed, and copy them. Then use a non cloud contacts app and paste them in.

You're going to have trouble finding all of the convenience of Google calendar, without using their services to sync the data. That's kinda how they hook you in. Give up your privacy for convenience. Nothing is going to work as well without access to all of your info.
[Android Software Development] baxxter106:
for me all is working - without Google - with a NAS system at home. contact and calendar sync with DAVx5, photos will be synced when i connect in my home network...

for something like this all you need is a raspi and freenas, nextcloud (or someting else)

or with some comfort: Synology or QNap

for the most apps i use i found something in fdroid.

for 10 apps (incl xda!!!) i use yalp or aurora for updates

btw. i don't use fbook or whatsapp or need some coupons for bking or mcd... nobody *needs* this for real!!!

I build my own microG ROM. I got tired of manually reinstalling Bromite browser/WebView and Deja Vu location services, after each update. So I just add them to my ROM.

I installed this zip file, but once I launch the play store, it says ''error when trying to retrieve the information from the server RH-01''. I use wifi and my google account is installed on the phone and google maps works well, so the account is indeed found.

I cleared all caches and removed then put the account again, but it still fails.

I found a the yalp store too, can I have the two stores on micro-g?

What I dislike form yalp and I like form the google store is that I google keeps library of all the apps, so that if I want to install one, I I just need to find it in my library of ''apps installed at least once in the past''

[Android Software Development] kurtn:
[MENTION=3233186]blue whale[/MENTION] I have the impression this project doesn't fit your needs. Did you try official LOS nanomod patcher (without magisk) and shadow 53's microg_playstore? For the playstore connect issue: its only after installation. A reboot normally helps.

Update microg in f-droid or by ROM update.
[Android Software Development] blue whale:
No I use the ROM lineage-14.1-20171110-microG-i9100.zip DO I need to patch this rom too ?

Also, I re-installed the google account and now google maps does not see the account, so I cannot use offline maps.

I tried clearing the caches, uninstall-install the google maps and still the account is hidden from google maps.

I dirty flashed the ROM and it works now. pheewww
[Android Software Development] kurtn:
MicroG is for avoiding Google apps. If you want offline navigation use maps.me or osmand.

The main feature of this project is providing LOS with signature spoofing patch. No need for patcher.
[Android Software Development] n76:
Lineage, Lineage based ROMs and, near as I can tell, all custom ROMs for most devices do not support GLONASS and other non-GPS satellite navigation systems. Result is the ROM may be much worse at acquisition and tracking satellite based position.

What microG/UnifiedNLP back ends do you have installed and enabled? Having a decent network based location can somewhat mitigate poor GPS performance.

Hello Simon,

could you be so kind to add

klteduos for the Galaxy S5 Duos International = SM-G900FD and
