MicroG

I think I've got MicroG working, but I thought I'd see about other's experience and offer mine if helpful.

I used GmsCore = 1 and TotalGAppsremoval = 1 and most of the extreme debloating options.

Then, in settings uninstall Google Play Services. Instead of doing that directly I get something about find phone device admin. I choose to uninstall that, and now there's no Google Play Services listed.

Then I installed MicroG. Did it from ADB, just because.

adb install com.google.android.gms-13280012.apk

adb install com.google.android.gsf-8.apk

Reboot

MicroG settings should be in app launcher.

Follow instructions.

For Location backend I installed LocalGsmNlpBackend, which you then choose in MicroG settings.

In case it matters I installed Swiftkey and switched to it before running xxx installer.

I chose not to install the google camera, instead I'm trying MGC_6.1.021_xcam_5_beta20.apk - there's a discussion on Reddit about it.

FIrst time around, using 4.7 combined with relative ignorance was a disaster. I thought I had bricked my phone. Started over with xxx 5.0 and crossing fingers that something bad doesn't happen. At the moment things are running fine.

Problems that I remember:

- First time around I had trouble with the keyboard disappearing in settings, which was very annoying.

- Eventually I tried to TWRP restore and that's when my phone went lala. Does one have to do anything special regarding TWRP backup and restore?

- It's not very understandable what's going on, and so when something goes wrong it can be very confusing. I landed up reading the update script while I edited the profile.

- GMSCore was confusing. I choose to debloat it but it still shows up in Apps. When I try to install MicroG it fails despite there being no GMSCore.apk in priv-app. Took me a bit before I realized I could uninstall play services from the app info. After that MicroG install worked.

App notes, in case useful to someone:

I tried to get anything I need on F-droid first. I've been impressed by the quality and usability of apps there!

Waze does bad things. Don't try.

For navigation I'm trying Offline Maps & Navigation (play store)

For calendar and contacts, which are still on google, I'm using DAVx⁵ CalDAV/CardDAV Synchronization and Simple Calendar.

Using Forecastie for its weather widget.

I'll try Memoria for gallery.

MiXPlorer as file browser/utility.

1Password for password fill, since I've been using that for years.

Firefox as Browser,

Firefox Beta just for Gmail.

I've wanted to install Bromite as the default web view, but have been unsuccessful thus far.

Langis for Signal, a version that doesn't require play services.

Hi...after install xXx Nolimits 5.0 in op5t the system update no open. ...is it possible to keep the original version number unchanged after applying the rom xXx?

Could anyone help me with another link?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] blackphanter:
Don't have to download the profile. If you're on earlier build it will keep your settings and make a new profile on your sd card xXx folder. Before next reboot you can edit the new version.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] uttkarshashar:
Will try that.

Thank you for the assistance.

Dear [MENTION=1030560]xXx[/MENTION] ,

since the last thing that bugged me (the OnePlus-Messaging-App) finally got to be debloatet in V. 5.0, there is nothing I could wish for now.

I am using this ROM with a OP6t and I could experience no bugs, battery drain or whatever. The ROM really improves the device a lot and in my eyes, it is the best modification out there for any device. Custom ROMs often come with some downsides (Battery Drain, missing functionality of some kind), so I think the way you do it - just modifying the existing OS - is the best method.

I want to thank you for significantly improving my every-day life and for giving me the feeling to take control over my device. Thank you for all the hours you put into this ROM for maintaining and updating it. For that, I donated you sth, hope you receive it.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] xXx:
thanks very much for your donation and your very positive quotation. Really appreciated. Enjoy the improved user experience.

Which option disables the Shot on OnePlus app? I'd like to enable it to get daily wallpapers.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] bambou:
Hi,

Thank you [MENTION=1030560]xXx[/MENTION] for your great work and keep the OnePlus 5 compatible with your Magisk module. Everything works properly with OOS 9.0.4 and xXX 5.0. It feels responsive, fast and battery friendly as always.

Nevertheless I found a "bug" regarding YouTube. I use YouTube Vanced and I chose to block updates. It seems that with the 5.0 version of the module, YouTube updates are not blocked anymore.

I tried to uninstall the module and reinstall it but YouTube got updated by the play store.

Don't know if anyone else got that behavior.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkdeepakkaloniya:
Disable Auto Update for youtube in Play Store
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] bambou:
Thank you for your answer. I didn't even know that could be done per apps.

I never had to do it as xXx Magisk module was doing it on previous version.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] dkdeepakkaloniya:
Simply open youtube in playstore, open 3 dot menu on the right top corner and disable Auto update.

Battery drain

Im on newest xXx and smurf kernel but i experience some battery drain i have 1h 45min screen on and 8h standby and -45% battery.

What could i do? its very fast i like that but the battery.. i have set the Battery profile in Spectrum
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] silver04v:
What's draining it? I'm on the same without that issue

We'll, I'm on balanced most of the time. But its fine.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] tino1601:
Use adaptative battery mode and limit apps like youtube, Facebook, Instagram and co
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Veestaai:
Google play services is the culprit most of the times. You do the following to reduce battery drain -

1. Turn off wifi scanning for location accuracy

2. Turn off sync for calendar

3. Turn off 'modify system settings' for Gplay Services

4. Use 'Enable dose for Gplay Services' magisk module
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] lazostat:
Why use this module, if he uses extreme debloat during aroma installer?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] n0j0e:
Also a solution is to detach YT from Play Store. Copy an empty 'enable_detach' file to /cache.

Read notes:

https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/iYTBP-Vanced-Magisk-Repo

Never had a problem with this method.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] fuzmik:
Everytime I do clean flashing, at the end of stock install of OOS there is about 11 apps that automatically get downloaded to my phone. Has anyone notice it? Can I debloat that? I suspect that this is the culprit. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Kenepo:
Fresh Install

Download link for v17 profile seems dead, just rooted my OnePlus and would love to try this module. Fresh installer, don't have any profile saved on phone. Also noticed the debloat section is a bit extense and most values are set default = 1 which uninstalls apps and stuff. Not interested in messing much the ROM functioning, more in adding new features. Stock with Magisk, BluTWRP and EXKernel has been working excellent for me. Thanks in advance and glad to see dev is back for project.

Also which note editor is recommended for editing ln phone?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Veestaai:
Extreme debloat has nothing to do with background running of Gplay Services. Also battery optimization is not available for Gplay Services. This module does that.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
Just flash xXx, edit the new profile file (I prefer to use QuickEdit in the Play Store) then flash xXx again for your personal customizations to take effect.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Kenepo:
Thanks

Thanks for quick reply, took my time to make my profile and set everything up. Must say I'm absolutely amazed with how quick and clean this works. Does everything it says it does and doesn't break a thing. Will absolutely donate to dev, super stable and awesome work ???

Hi! I'm so nooby in this mod...

I've read the firsts posts but I don't understand... I know that I need paste v17 profile in the xXx folder. Something more? For what is that? I've tryied and nothing happens... everything happened automatically, while in v4.3 aroma was launched.

How I can do it? I've an OP5
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] maigre:
You don't have to do anything to the profile. It doesn't even need to be present in your /xXx folder to install the ROM. In that case, you'll get xXx's default settings which will install (and debloat) what he's chosen to install and debloat along with some other settings. After installation, the new version of NoLimits will put the profile in the /xXx folder. You can then edit that file to your wishes and reinstall NoLimits to get the changes you've made implemented.

A lot of what's in the profile is explained there. Some of it is easy to understand. Do you want Chrome, Gmail, Maps, Calendar, the various OP apps to be visible and usable to you or do you want them debloated? Those are case by case choices you can make. Other things may take some experimenting and reading to get more of a feel for. Take it a step at a time. Experiment. You don't have to know what every item is for or what it means to take advantage of the things that do make sense to you. It's easy enough to reflash the ROM or to uninstall it altogether if you need or what to.

Hi [MENTION=1030560]xXx[/MENTION], I know it's not officially supported but just to let you know that edxposed + riru core cause bootloops if I install xXx module on my oneplus 5 (tried before and after), without xXx module everything boots and works fine.. Is there something you can do about it?

Also, Disable Google Play Wakelocks set to 1 breaks gmail account, no notifications are shown so I have to open the app to see new emails.

Thanks in advance!

I had changed its value to 2 but Gplay Services was the top most battery drainer after screen. The Magisk module has brought the things to normal.

Sorry if this is a beaten horse question, but when updating, do i need to reinstall TWRP an Magisk, or just flash the new version? thanks in advance.

hI, the dialer app is crashing, cant open it after updating to 5.0. what can i do?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] colsecomb:
Try clearing all data. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app then reinstall from playstore (assuming you are taking about Google Dialer)
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] amithiel:
Hi, thanks for the tip. Im not using the google dialer ( i didnt want to mess with the default dialer ). Anyway i cleared data and cache, now i can open it, but as soon as i click the call history log or the contacts section, it force closes. weird..

Google Pay not working. I used normal disable for gplay value-1. How to fix it?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pdppdp:
It's me again...

I figured it out what was force closing my apps.

It had nothing to do with this wonderful rom, webview or magisk. My xposed installation was causing the issue. After deleting/ deinstalling every single module then xposed (uninstaller) and then reinstalling everything step by step it turned out that latest gravity box (8.5.2) is the source. Now back on 8.5.1 and everything works. (Deactivating modules wasn't enough)

Just wanted to share that information in case someone else has the same problems. Since I never had any issues with xposed or modules I didn't thought about that in the first place.

Update: no wipe/ factory reset needed.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] moSess:
If you're on oreo you can use gravity box. I do.

Did you uninstall it permanently?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] sjamie:
FYI: I have zero issues with GravityBox 8.5.2.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pdppdp:
Yes. I deinstalled all modules then the framework with the uninstaller. After rwboot everything was fine except for missing xposed.

After that I dirty flashed rom, twrp, magisk, smurf kernel, magisk and then xposed again. Now it works.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

Just tried it again. Same issue. Back to 8.5.1 works.

I was running version 5.0 on my oneplus 6, I sold that phone and now using the 6t which I am also running 5.0 on. My question is that I had full theming on the oneplus 6 and not through substratum it was some other app that showed the # of apps active / themed, I thought it was in no limits but I guess it was not. substratum on my oneplus 6t does not theme anything, I cant figure it out, how are you guys theming the 6t.

Sorry for the confusing post lol

battery life is even better then stock for me - I have 1 hour and 5 minutes SOT and 90% battery remaining
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] uriii13:
A lot of thanks!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazing!!

But one thing more... I'm IN LOVE with the open app transition of the Pixel Launcher (I consider is most fluid in Android), but I've seen that when I wanna close or minimize an app, the transitions is... toward the side? Why????? Can I change it?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TENlll423:
I use pitch black and swift black on 6t. Works well.. Google play store is the only app that I sometimes have issues with overlays causing app not to open.

and if that does happen just uninstall overlay and it will open.. also Ozone works too.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] golfinggino:
Weird I tried both those in substratum and neither works
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] TENlll423:
That is definitely strange.. I'll send you a screenshot of the overlays that take well on my phone. Nevermind can't private message screenshots...
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] maigre:
Could be a feature of the Pixel Launcher. Is this the launcher in Pixel phones or a launcher from the Play Store that you're running on your OP phone? You could look around in settings for the OP launcher to see if there are transition options. There are for some launchers.

You could also check the first group of settings in the NoLimits profile, which governs the speed of transition animation. But it seems like it's effect, not speed, that you're looking at.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Ryano89:
Speaking of the Pixel launcher, does the one available in xXx have the Google feed page that you can swipe to?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] JustPlainCool:

Hey guys, my issue still happens.

I just ran the xxx uninstaller 2.0. reboot, no issues with default dialer. installed xxx 5.0 again (did not mess with dialer in the profile), and when opening the dialer...tapping call logs or contacts will crash the app. Can anyone confirm the bug?
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
Did you debloat OPSimContacts? Aka the SIM card contacts app. That will cause a crash in the stock dialer. Disabling it though (not debloating) will work.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] amithiel:
YES!! thanks man!!! that worked

Hello ,

I have a very high battery usage with this rom.

I have like -17%/h and 4h30 of SOT with 9% left.

I have smurfkernel 2.0.54 installed.

I did set Google wakelocks to 2 and installed the "enable doze for Google play services" magisk module.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] silver04v:
What apps are using the most? Checked why work better battery stats? Throw the latest test build on from Smurf, it's working great. Make sure to change the config file for 844 increase.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
Tbh it is important to have a high CPU deep sleep. That is the worst battery drainer. Other than that there is not much you can do normally. Wi-Fi and cellular drain can't be influenced as well as screen drain (except reducing the brightness).

I get 5h if mostly on 4G and on my university's Wi-Fi but 6h+ SoT only at my home.

[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ulxerker:
Flash the ROM, re-flash magisk and re-flash xxx after that. Everything in one session.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
You don't need to reflash xXx. Just update ROM, flash TWRP, reboot to recovery, flash Magisk, reboot, done.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] pdppdp:
After ROM flash you should flash twrp.zip por you loose custom recovery. Reboot to recovery (not system) and then go on with magisk and xxx.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Macusercom:
True. I edited my answer. For me flashing the ROM equals to ROM + TWRP because I got used to having to flash it. But people might forget and end up needing to do the boot TWRP.img workaround. Thanks!
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] ulxerker:
Not necessary if you flash magisk right after the ROM, so TWRP sticks.
[OnePlus 6 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Devel] Mercyisfortheweak:

I don't know if it would be xXx causing it, the latest OOS, SmurfKernel, or what... but my battery life is absolutely horrible.
