LineageOS-20.0 microG For S8/S8+/Note 8 /Note 7/ FE​

With the rise of Big Tech and the encroachment of government into our lives , I felt more of a desire to move away from Google and the like.

Samsung S8/S8+/Note 8/Note 7 /FE was built with microG and LineageOS source and is fully functional.

What it is. It's LineageOS with all of Google's closed-source binaries removed and replaced with microG. I.e. no Play services or GAPPS. UnifiedNLP is used as the networking location provider instead of Google's NLP. Aurora Store and F-Droid is installed by default and provides an alternative app store. However, with the Aurora Store, you cannot install all Google Play Store apps such as buy apps.

Other information Google Play Store Alternative If you want to have full access to normal Android Play Store apps, After opening Aurora Store, select the appropriate option. usually option number 1 is the most commonly used with this ROM, unless changed by the user. After setup, you will have access to all apps as usual. Some apps require Play Services and cannot be used.

After installation - Open the microG app --> self-check sections should be successful. Location Services - By default, LocalGsmNlpBackend, which uses the NominatimGeocoderBackend, and NominatimNlpBackend, which uses Mapquest's Noninatim service, are disabled. Open the microG app --> location modules and enable the modules you want. Then restart the device.

It is strongly recommended not to install NikGapps as this ROM contains a replacement for NikGapps these are microG​

Does not work on Note 7 /FE
