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

Installing SystemWebView

Bromite is a Chromium fork with ad blocking and privacy enhancements; take back your browser! - bromite/bromite

github.com

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

 

[marcdw]

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

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.

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

GitHub - nift4/microg_installer_revived: Install microG GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore (or Play Store if you want so) and MapsV1 to /system/

Install microG GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore (or Play Store if you want so) and MapsV1 to /system/ - nift4/microg_installer_revived

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

Oh. Lecture notes is a paid app. Maybe you can find a workaround with the app developer. (I don't recommend pirating).

For all fee apps I use aurora store.

 

[Bracher]

Unfortunately fake2playstore creates Bootloop and I had to do a factory reset. The microg_installer is of no use as in LOS MicroG 19 MicroG is allready fully installed (it's now included in the ROM) but My LOS microG 19 works with Fakestore and FDroid and has no patched Playstore included (but strangely a playstore account which could be activated but without any result for example to Aurora). And there is obviously no possibility to install the patched playstore anymore at least I found nothing. I even tried to put the Phonesky.apk in data/adb - no change at all. OK this is only my Tablet and besides Titanium, Xprivacy Lua Pro and LectureNotes I have no other paid apps but when it comes to my phone there is a little bit more - fortunately this is still in 18.1

Anyone of you is faced of this weird popup of "Intent Filter Verification service is canceled few times" ?

https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/1740

Is this a LOS or a microG issue?

 

[juniorhero]

Push service microg related.. disable with termux/terminal su pm disable com.android.statemenservice
Push services dead*

 

[starbright_]

Push service seems to work, at least I get notifications. Strange is, that this messages disappear. There are phases as at the moment, I don't have it at all. But I had this some time before and it came back again. But alltogether it is less often than at beginning.

 

[Jhon_Locke]

should I flash the beta release? because stable is from 2020, even beta is from 2021, or are there newer versions?

There are all kind of microG installers. Main difference is support for higher android versions. One good performing one is minmicrog. Unofficial installer has been updated a few weeks ago.

NanoDroid

NanoDroid is a installer for various OpenSource related things, most noticably microG and F-Droid. It supports direct /system installation, both devices with or without A/B partition scheme, aswell as Magisk Mode (module) installation. It also includes several tools (eg. GNU Bash, shell utilities, more), scripts, fonts, sounds and additional features (system debloating, init scripts, automatic logcat creation), aswell as a companion F-Droid Repository.

Furthermore it allows the user to do fine-graded installations using configuration files, which allow to choose what to install, or if several alternatives are available, which of them, see "Alter Installation" in the full documentation (link at the end of this post).

In order for full microG experience NanoDroid contains a modified Play Store which allows (in-)app-purchases with microG, which would normally not be possible. It also tries to remove all previously installed GApps on it's own. For ROMs without builtin signature spoofing support NanoDroid includes an on-device Patcher which tries to patch your ROM from TWRP.

Versions until 15.1 were called NanoMod, starting with 16.0 they're called NanoDroid.

NanoDroid does now have a companion F-Droid Repository for easy updates of Play Store (patched with (in-)app-purchase support) and MPV builds Repository Info-Page

Hey! Am I able to flash these things without microG. I think the open source apps (and f-droid) are REALLY cool and the signature spoofing compatibility part would be useful too... But too many things don't work with microG (google voice, Android Lost). What should I put in the config file ( https://github.com/Nanolx/NanoDroid/blob/master/doc/AlterInstallation.md ) so that I just have those things (and whatever else would be useful) and not have things conflict with gApps (I use Nikgapps-R basic on Lineage OS 18.1 for AT&T LG G8 Thinq currently)?
