[MODULE/SYSTEM] NanoDroid 23.1.2.20210117 (microG, pseudo-debloat, F-Droid + apps)

[Froyris]

I would try a clean installation. Wipe system and data. Flash crDroid. Boot and make sure there is no GApps

Thnaks for the quick answer. Wanted to avoid a factory reset but seems the easiet and cleanest; you re right. Done. seems to work. MigroG settings stays visible after reboot, no google play services notifcation (logical, indeed). In self check in microG setting I can tick all the boxes except "permission to access location in the background". don't know if mandatory or not.

Depends on what location based services you use. Normal sattelite based geolocation (gps) works independently

Managed to tick all the boxes after a an update of microg from F droid. Looks good. GPS does not work on Osmand or others, will try to look for a solution. Thanks again!

Maybe these definitely important news on such updates are better suited in the dedicated thread?

Hi,
is nanodroid not maintained anymore ?
no more updates since beginning of 2021
I used installer for bromite webview, this package had renamed now and updates do not work anymore :-(
Any chance of an nanodroid update?

bye, Frank

I knew this page,
but the description does not help in all cases. I followed the description exactly, but the new renamed bromite webview version is not recognized by my system.
Until the renaming of the package, all updates ran absolutely smoothly since installation via nanodroid
Unfortunately, the bromite developer does not give support, he said you should look for a solution yourself on the Internet :-(

I found a solution to install new Bromite SystemWebView without nanodroid support --> Magisk WebviewManager

Actually, the updates do continue to be offered via F-Droid BUT going by the description, it may now be just the vanilla Chromium version. [screenshot] Given that none of my older ROMs run Magisk (a root method I never cared for) I'll just continue on with the provided updates.

On newer Android I use the Magisk module mentioned above to get the new one.
What the dev csagan5 says is quite correct with regards to getting the new version to work. See the wiki. A long time ago we were testing getting Bromite webview to work on OEM stock ROMs. They/some/most had no support for `com.android.webview` so it wasn't possible. Manual attempts to do so would result in problems with the ROMs. Today's ROMs, OEM or custom, would have to have support for the new package name (`org.bromite.webview`). Quite sure none do at this point (haven't checked recently).
At the moment the aforementioned Magisk Webview Manager is the easiest way to possibly use the new webview.

The latest magisk version of nanodroid bromite webview is 87 and it's recent enough for me.

Tried it on a Yu Fly F9(chinese android 7.1.1 phone), stock webview version was only 52 and apps were getting broken from its age.

Installing android system webview, bromite webview normally as apps didnt work and it couldn't switch to them in developer settings, only the old 52 webview was always being shown. Magisk webview manager also didn't work as it needs android 8 at least.

So in the end that was the only working systemless solution without messing with signatures and stuff. Awesome, happy to get some more use of this smartphone now.

Hi!
I'm trying to put MicroG on my Unihertz Jelly Pro. Running the newest stock ROM (there is no working custom ROM), which is Android 8.1.0.
I went by https://gitlab.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/-/blob/master/doc/Installation.md
I installed the newest Magisk v24.3.
For the deodex'ing I followed DeodexServices.md. I Found both a .odex and a .vdex file, so I followed the procedure for both and put the resulting files in services.jar as classes.dex and classes2.dex. Before, the services.jar only had a META-INF directory inside and was otherwise empty.

I'm stuck now at patching Signature Spoofing. The NanoDroid-patcher-23.1.2.20210117.zip says
services.jar status: DEODEX
...
!! failed to apply patches

Did I do the deodex'ing wrong nonetheless? Or what else could I try?

You could try xposed module fakegapps

 

[u85]

It worked after I put only the vdex one in.

Hi,

sorry for directing people to that complicated procedure for such a long time:
My best known method for getting signature spoofing on unsupporting Android 11 and 12 is the good old xposed method.

Install magisk modules "Riru" and "Riru - LSPosed"
Install LPSosed module FakeGapps whew-inc fork
Enable recommende apps in FakeGapps

Hey, I’m very glad I found this and it worked for signature spoofing thanks a lot. However, the nlp part does not work the OS does not recognise it. Is there anything I might have missed or is it another part that I should look at specifically?

I know it’s a bit off topic here but I figured I’d ask you as I used the above method.

Thanks for your help

For NLP to work correctly, microG has to be a system app. Having magisk in place, I recommend a module

Hello, I have problem and hope for help in this forum - I updated to the 19 LOS MicroG, it has MicroG already installed, Fakestore and two location modules (which is new) , it works well all boxes are ticked two location modules could be activated so far so fine, BUT there is no patched playstore and the installer I worked with till 18.1 (FriendlyNeighbourhoodShane) is no use in this circumstances. But I should reinstall some apps from playstore like my newspapers or for example LectureNotes, there is no open source app which could replace them. I'm sorry but I need them

 

[Bracher]

Addition: I tried "Replace fakestore with PLAY STORE"from Github and ended in a bootloop had to do a factory reset
