Hello guys, yesterday I have ordered my A1 and I am thinking about my future setup. I am using on all my devices microG instead Google Apps. Just wanted to check, whether someone tried this. Has someone tried to delete the Google stuff from /system and to flash microG (e.g. via NanoMod)? Thx for any info?

Why do u want to use MicroG in the first place?
For two main reasons:
1. Privacy. Don't like to share my whole data with Google. I don't use any Goggle app, except the Play store from time to time.
2. Battery life. microG is more than light weight and the battery consumption is extremely low.

I'm not sure about NanoMod by my installer (in the signature) automatically remove conflicting packages and can be flashed also on ROMs with GApps (since it remove them).

Thanks for the reply. There is another problem: the ROM is odexed, so there is no chance to use the NanoMod Patcher in order to spoof the signature!

Hey mate, great suggestion. It has worked. Without deodexing the ROM, no huge hacking on the ROM. MicroG is running nice with spoofed signature.
Many thanks, [emoji106]

Hi, how did you exactly do ? I'm on MIUI and I would like to replace Gapps by microG, I installed Xposed, the FakeGapps module, but the Signature Spoofing Checker tells me it's disabled. Do I need to autostart something ?
And how did you remove Gapps ?

Thanks in advance.
