[APP] microG GmsCore - lightweight free software clone of Google Play Services

[kurtn]

Hey folks ...joining this party late. But wanna know if
--Micro G supports Good Voice typing on Android 10 or if not then what alternatives do fellas have
--- I am on a Non Custa(om Rooted ( aka) stock ROM. I gotto remove Gapps using some magisk mod to get this running. What risks do I face from your val. exp?

There is no really good alternative to Google voice typing. And it's definitively not part of microG.

I think you know how risky rooting is. My preferred method to get rid of Google is none root mode of

No New Builds for Any Lineage for Micro G Devices · Issue #166 · lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd

What is going on with Lineage for Micro G? Is the project continuing or not? A yes/no or alternatively additional info would be very much appreciated.

I've clean flashed LOS17.1 in the weekend, patched it for signature spoofing, and then:

1. Installed GMSCore 0.2.15, DroidGuard Helper, Services Framework Proxy through F-Droid
2. Installed FakeStore
3. Installed Mozilla, Apple, Deja Vu NLPs
4. Installed Nominatim Geocoder Backend
5. Enabled modules in points 2 and 3
6. Got everything to be ticked in MicorG's self check

After this I didn't get any app to get network provided location. [...]. All of these problems were not found on the same set of apps before the clean flash, on older LOS17.1 and microG builds.

Tried to fix those issues doing the following:

1. Flashed microG Installer Revived in Magisk to move everything to /system/priv-app/ (this updated microG to 0.2.16) -> did not fix
2. Updated to version 0.2.17 through F-Droid -> did not fix
3. Tried turning off/on NLP modules in microG settings to check if some of them is causing problems -> did not fix
4. Flashed the Maps v1 flashable zip from GitHub -> did not fix
5. Flashed the Maps v1 Magisk flashable zip provided in this repo fork -> did not fix

Network provided location seems to randomly work at times, once every ~10 nonconsecutive tentatives I'd say. I could not notice any action or condition triggering it to work. Funnily enough the "latest known location" entry in every NLP module settings page is actually correct, but since I'm not moving much (covid) I don't know how updated it is.

This problem never got fixed for me, even after several clean flashes and ROM changes ('m using LineageOS 18.1 for MicroG now) the issue is still there.

However, I found out a temporary workaround by doing the following:

1. Force close the app having difficulties to obtain NLP-provided location
2. Force close microG Services Core
3. Reopen microG Services Core
4. Reopen the app

This is a hassle though, since force closing microG Services Core also cause GCM/FCM to deregister and I need to manually check in (*#*#2432546#*#*) every time.

Any advice?

You only need half of that. You don't need magisk. You don't need a flashable microG installer. It's only needed to make microG a system app. And system app is only needed for network location provider to register.

You need service core and gsfProxy and fake store from microG repo and give them spoofing permission

Just getting around to this now and did a clean flash of CrDroid 7.9 / Android 11.00.

Then installed:
Services Core
Services Framework Proxy
Fake Store

When I try to install Lidl Plus App, I get the following message:
"Lild Plus won't run without Google Play Services, which are not supported by your device."

Thanks for your help.

Here are all my settings:

Do you mean it wont install and open at all?
The reason I ask is I was getting this on my Line application but it still worked - with some vagaries......

However I also allowed every permission (tick every box), Cloud messaging and recently added Droid Guard Helper . I also installed as recommended to Priv App and haven't seen that notification for a while - but not sure what specifically stopped it.........

 

[adx2017]

The app installs ok but when I go to set it up all is fine until I arrive at the select store page.
It asks me to allow access to location - which I allow and then I get the message:
"Lild Plus won't run without Google Play Services, which are not supported by your device."

I ticked all the boxes in microG settings except one that I was unable to tick - "Permission to access location in the background"

Possibly you have something set in settings however not sure that would stop it.
Have you tried uninstalling the app rebooting, seeing if you can tick that box and then reinstalling?

Otherwise hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be along shortly

OK. Maybe Lidl needs network location. In that case MicroG has to be a system app. Use an installer, like minmicrog. minimal version should be enough. Setup loccation backends.

Did a full wipe.
Flashed CrDroid 7.9 / Android 11.00.
Flashed MinMicroG Minimal 2.10

Getting the following error:

Fatal Error Not enough free space in your system.
Updater process ended with error: 1

Also tried with MinMicroG NoGoolag 2.10.
Also tried flashing miniMirocG after I restarted the newly flash CrDroid ROM

Have 51.8GB Free of 64GB Storage.

Thanks for your help.

Your free storage is in data partition. The problem is size of system partition. But that should be large enough. I guess, crDroid can be installed with GApps? Try to find a workaround. Do you use
Magisk?

 

[adx2017]

Got it working

- Flashed CrDroid
- Flashed Magisk
- Started ROM and updated Magisk + rebooted
- Added Magisk Hide
- From recovery flashed Minimal MicroG Nogoolag

Installed Lidl Plus - fully working.

thanks

v0.2.22 is up

[n76]

Just an announcement. . .

I no longer even have an Android phone for testing much less development. So the location backends I wrote are not being actively supported. There has been a developer who has taken over the local GSM backend. But there are people who are apparently using the DejaVu backend and it could use a developer to take it forward. Repository is at https://github.com/n76/DejaVu If you want to take it over with my blessings, or know a developer willing to take it over, please let me know and I will work with them to transition the project.

Are you sure you picked the right installer? The linked page offers multiple. Going by the names, I'd guess the NoGoolag one comes without Playstore. See the Readme of the main repo for what is part of which installer package: Standard and MinimalIAP ship with PlayStore, you probably used one of those.

Should you wish to look for alternative installers, there's also the microG unofficial installer and NanoDroid. I didn't try any of those as the ROMs I use luckily include microG already (LineageOS for microG).

Sorry that I cannot answer your other questions – but hopefully they are picked up by someone else.

@Kali.boy For many years now, I always installed µG via NanoDroid by @Setialpha In my setup I've always chosen to use the by Setialpha modified Google Play Store (by the way, the one and only "Google" app on my device). I can easily access my purchases with his modified play store and update them, conduct new purchases including in-app purchases.
Just for completion: I'm on LOS 16.0/Android 9 aand will never go "higher".

when i installed microg i did come across some apps that would crash. i had to test older versions of each app to find a version that worked without crashing. it was time consuming but i was able to find a version that didnt crash.

Yes i used standard version.

Tnx

But my main problem is question one yet.

I dont have purchases.
And aurora is fine for me. I just need update apps.

I test nanodroid too. It has so many bloatware and Nanodroid change or recompile all script. I dont like these two.
