I installed the full version, not the setup wizard version, so no ticking. Since I'm not a developer, I don't know which app is using V1. But I guess legacy compatible ones.
But I'm gradually migrating my apps on this new install, so I shall see which ones freeze out.

There is no setup wizard version for NanoDroid. The setup wizard supports you to create a setup file i.e. to customise the later installation in accordance with your desire and requirements. However; you can always manually create the setup file or alter it afterwards (manual).
Even if you were a developer but the respective app weren't open source you wouldn't know, which Maps version it required. Anyhow, my very few apps that need Maps v1 even didn't install unless Maps v1 was available. I'm convinced you'll notice...
I've never used the full NanoDroid module i.e. I don't know if Maps v1 automatically comes with it unless you disable its installation in the setup file.

https://github.com/mar-v-in/MapsAPI/releases
https://github.com/microg/android_frameworks_mapsv1/releases

After if we already install microG GmsCore..what is need of Unifiednlp? Since some users and In your Guide you said to install UnifiedNlp.apk.......

Thanks and sorry for my English..

microG GmsCore already includes UnifiedNlp. There is no need to install UnifiedNlp if you already have microG GmsCore

First, absolutely no need to apologise for your English skills. English is just used here but isn't certainly the mothertongue for most of us.
Second, if I correctly undrstood you aren't using location at all, neither from GPS nor mobile data/WiFi. In this case you don't need to care at all about the backends and/or UnifiedNlp. And in brief words: UnifiedNlp serves as a provider of location from data of the networks (WiFi and/or mobile data) your device is connected to. And via the backends, you'd provide UnifiedNlp the data that it requires to e.g. relate a specific mobile data tower / cell to a geographic position. And as already correctly stated by @Mynacol, µG GmsCore includes UnifiedNlp. And the OP of the thread, you're obviously referring to, is nearly two years old and things have changed since then. If you check e.g. the "younger" posts in the thread you'll see that I don't install µG any longer manually but by utilisation of one of the "installation tools" (in my case actually as a Magisk module). That leads me to your other question which Maps v1 version to use: Actually I don't know, which one I use as it gets "automatically" (or better I customised the setup of the Magisk module that way) installed with the module. But anyhow, if I had to choose among the different available versions I'd use the latest one.

Although I know that mapping applications can be used without location (as I e.g. also do on my PC), on my mobile device it doesn't really make sense to me. Do you really intend to use applications that require Maps v1 but you aren't interested in your actual geographic location?
Regarding your screenshots: In which respect do you request suggestions?

Thanks for reply...
I need the Mapsv1 since I am going to make a flashable zip package.. for my device.. So other users who use apps that use Mapsv1 would be helpful for them...

I dont use Nanodroid or other since, they packed with newer GmsCore.. With Latest GmsCore I cannot able to signin...

Going to screenshots..why the options are not ticked?
How I can make that box cheched...?

I believe this can have multiple reasons, and I'm unable to assess with the available information. The same or at least a similar issue just recently occured to me when I was for a few days on RR-O-6.0.1 and LOS 15.1 before I reverted to Nougat. Exactly the same boxes weren't ticked but I didn't care or dig into it because location was working in all modes.
Other reasons might be that not all required permissions are granted to the backends you use, whatever backends they are. Pending on the used backends, maybe no database was download, or a backend hasn't received yet sufficient cell information or couldn't relate them to a GPS position? Location is disabled? Just for completeness and possible comparison, I attached screenshots of my backends, their settings and permissions etc.
Maybe these information by @Shadow53 are helpful:

To be clear: location itself is always working with GPS, but if you want to use Wi-Fi and Cellular tower information, you need at least one backend.
Based on how the backends work you may want to install more than one, but this depends on what you want to have and what the installed backends do.

I always refrain from asking a "last" question unless I want to terminate my learning process. And adding to @Mynacol valid information, I'm unable to answer your question but I can tell you why I personally use exactly those backends shown in the screenshots of my previous post.
First, there's a backend available called "MozillaNlpBackend" that uses Mozilla Location Services; I tried it a few times but always had issues with it therefore I don't use that. All three backends I use are developed by @n76 who also regularly posts in this thread, and they're available via n76's GitHub-page or on F-Droid. Actually, I only keep the "WiFi Location Service" more or less for nostalgic purposes as it's successor, "Déjà Vu", runs perfectly. However, as its name implies it must have had at least once a chance to correlate a GPS position with mobile cells respectively a known WiFi network. In such cases, Déjà Vu and WiFi Location Service provide a really good resolution that allows me to use location in the "energy saving" mode e.g. at home (also very useful if no GPS is available e.g. due to missing line of sight). "Local GSM Location" uses the known positions of mobile cell towers collected in a data base. I use the one of Mozilla Location Services, filtered to my needs and I update around every quater but only via WiFi due to its size. Local GSM Location determines your position by the mobile cell (tower) your device is booked in i.e. it might be a few hundreds of meters off from your actual position i.e. too far for navigation or mapping but sufficient for e.g. weather applications.
I attached two screenshots from SatStat, the tool that I prefer to check my GPS and/or to update my AGPS data but it's also capable to show the position calculated via network data. The red icon refers to a GPS position, the blue one to network based location. Both screenshots were taken while at home and connected to my home network. For the first screenshot, all three backends were enabled proving that Déjà Vu and WiFi Location Service (already "knowing" the home network) provide a fix as good as GPS. During the second screenshot, Déjà Vu and WiFi Location Service were disabled and only Local GSM Location enabled. The shown network based location is about 2.5 km off my real position.
TL;DR: I personally require two backends: Déjà Vu and Local GSM Location.

I'm not using Viper or Telegram i.e. unable to reproduce your issue. My communications' applications receive notifications even when the device is in deep sleep.
However, I believe this thread is the wrong one for your type of problem; you may want to consider to post it in the µG thread.

Some people I know have the same problem even with GApps, so I think the problem is other. I have no GApps installed and no porblems with notifications. Try to reinstall those apps with problems.

Hello, I have a question. MicroG works almost without any problems on the new P40 Pro. Only the GPS localization is not possible. Can this be somehow avoided or fixed. The original store also runs without signature spoofing. Hope someone can help me. Sorry for the English but I'm writing about Google Translater.

Does BlankStore allow buing apps from Goole play store? What is the key difference between BlankStore and Aurora Store?
Do I need to unstall Phonesky that is bundled with GmsCore (remove /system/app/Phonesky.apk)? If yes, what happens when I update GmsCore?
Why BlankStore is not on Fdroid? That's a convenient way to update BlankStore.
And the last, why GmsCore includes PhoneSky instead of BlankStore?

BlankStore is long dead. It never allowed to buy apps at Google Play. You can use Aurora Store to install free apps and those you already bought – but buying apps you must do by other means (e.g. via the browser).

BlankStore is no longer updated AFAIK. And microG has its own F-Droid repo (you can add that to your F-Droid client to keep microG and its components updated – provided the installed version was signed by microG).

Because BlankStore is dead and, to my knowledge, Phonesky is its successor.

Do I need Maps API v1 on the phone? Last version is 0.5 - LEGACY BETA (15.02.2014). Is Maps API v1 now completely deprecated and unused by modern apps?

That Maps API was intended for use with the original NOGAPPS project. I've not installed it anymore for years; AFAIK it's no longer needed with up-to-date microG. But as I no longer use apps from PlayStore, I might just not have noticed where it would be needed; taking my apps from F-Droid, map requests usually go directly to OpenStreetMap. Apart from that, up-to-date apps probably don't use the old v1 API anyway – no idea if it wasn't even deprecated by Google meanwhile.

    Introduction:
    Most users propably run proprietary apps from Google by one of the three reasons "Stock ROM", "integrated within custom rom" (which may be not entirely legal) or "installed from gapps zip".
    Some of the users know that those gapps do track them more than most other apps as they are system-apps and therefor got full rights on android.
    Only few users use cyanogenmod or another rom without gapps and leave without it. This solution however is not great as you wont get updates for your apps that regularly and all over googles apps are not bad in functionality (but in privacy)

    I am one of those who do they everyday work without google stuff and without gapps. I found out several problems:
    • Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API
    • Some apps fc at startup bacause of missing Maps API or market license check issues
    • Some apps hardcoded links to several Google Apps and therefor fc or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
    • No access to Play Store (i tried nearly every alternative market, but nothing is as good for free apps as play store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need
    So i started developing what i named the NOGAPPS package - a set of applications and frameworks with the goal to fill the gap of missing gapps package.
    This project will be continued under the name microG Project.​

    As promised: here is a public testing release for Play Store Client (alias BlankStore)
    Download in OP
    On Android 4.4 replace /system/app with /system/priv-app in the following instructions!
    Installation instructions Requires Android 4.0.4+:
    1. Remove old PlayStore/Market files if needed (using adb shell or as you like):
      • /system/app/Vending.apk
      • /system/app/Phonesky.apk
      • /system/app/com.android.vending.apk
      • /data/app/com.android.vending-*.apk
      • /data/data/com.android.vending (folder)
    2. Copy new com.android.vending.apk to /system/app with permission 644 or rw-r--r--
    3. Reboot
    4. Generate an Android ID
    5. Create an "Google Play Store for BlankStore"-Account via Settings/Accounts&Sync
    6. Launch BlankStore from your Launcher.
    If you get fc while searching, you propably used non-working login data. Delete the account and retry or post a logcat.

    One would assume these could be legally integrated into a custom ROM as well?

    Yes. I want this to be as open as possible. I am going to publish the sourcecode under apache license when its ready, so everybody is free to change what he likes. (Some of the upstream librarys i use are licensed under gpl so at the moment it seems like not everything can be apache licensed, however gpl should be enough for most usecases and maybe i will recode some of the stuff if need)

    C'mon @MaR-V-iN give us a sign that new Playstore project isn't dead. Please?

    It's not dead, but development is paused for the moment. Im focussing on GmsCore right now, which is getting more important every day. I'm pretty sure I won't continue work on Playstore this month, but maybe during July. I'll let you know once a first preview version is out :)
