[ROM]-[10-04-2020]-[microG] Unofficial LineageOS 17 w/ microG support

[gigatex]

Info
This thread contains unofficial custom builds of LineageOS 17 for OnePlus 7 Pro based on official LineageOS repositories & PeterCxy's repositories. This ROM has a few additions.

- Includes microG signature spoofing patch
- Removes com.qualcomm.location which interferes with UnifiedNlp
- Added option to configure the height of the back gesture in gesture navigation settings

Please note that I am not an experienced ROM developer, these are simply my own custom builds I'm sharing with you all in case anybody finds them useful.

ROM instructions
If you want to spoof signature of Phonesky you must manually grant it. Do this through a terminal emulator by running the following commands.

su
pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE

There is currently an issue with microG UnifiedNlp. If you ever get the "UnifiedNlp has no last known location" error, you must re-enable UnifiedNlp backends. This must be done after every reboot and whenever this error decides to pop back up.

Hi gigatex,

I just wanted to thank you for creating this! I've been using it as my daily driver without any issues. It's rock solid, fast and great on the battery and it's the only rom that works superbly with MicroG, without the hassle of removing Google junk.

If I were to give you one suggestion, it'd be to include links to Magisk, NanoDroid (F-Droid and MicroG packages) and perhaps TWRP. If only for user ease.

Keep up the good work and thanks again!

Doesn't the lineage team provide an official microg version around a week or so after they have an official regular build?
Thank you for this either way! I've been waiting for a microg version of this.

I don't want to sound douchy, but it's actually the MicroG team that forks the LineageOS build and pretty much does to it what gigatex did with this ROM. They will probably add support for our device in a few days, but it's great that we don't have to wait for that, thanks to this ROM.

As far as I can tell by looking at the docker repo, LineageOS for microG just takes the LineageOS frameworks/base and applies the signature spoofing patch for their builds. If this is the case they might have the same problem with UnifiedNlp as every other OnePlus 7 Pro ROM.

Lineage only merged the "NLP Combo feature" commit in the last month or so, while most other ROMs have had it for a lot longer. If anyone here flashes their build when it becomes available I'd be curious to know if UnifiedNlp works correctly on their ROM.

I'm gonna give this a go tonight. Looking forward to it. Lineage has always been my favorite since I got into the rom community. Glad I can go Google free.

Side note: anyone know of good navigation app? For obvious reasons, I'm not wanting to use Google maps.

I've used osmand before, it's been awhile but for some reason there was something I didn't like about it. I'll give it another shot. Thanks!

 

[adamokari]

This ROM is running great so far. Thank you very much for your work!
Only issue I'm having it getting the oneplus camera app. Whenever I tap the app to open it, it force closes. O can however long press on the icon and tap one of the modes in the pop up menu and it works from there. For some reason it seems to be the standard picture mode that crashes. Did anyone else have issues with it?

Sorry for all the questions, but what exactly is the proper way to set this up with microg? I've realized I'm not getting push notifications for email apps.

Basically for my install I wiped dalvik and data,
Flashed ROM and twrp
Reboot recovery and flash ROM and twrp again
Reboot to system
Reboot recovery and flash magisk and nanodroid
Then proceed to configure microg, signing into google account and enabling cloudessagimg, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

As for OnePlus camera, I simply downloaded the APK in PeterCxy's thread and I'm not experiencing any crashes.

I use the same installation procedure as you. Are your apps getting registered under GCM and is your "Current State" showing as connected? Also make sure you go through the entire self check. The "System supports location provider" is the only checkbox that's supposed to be unchecked.

I'm gonna try again from stock. It says current state disconnected and no apps ever register under GCM. Not sure what the issue is.

That's definitely the issue then. Also make sure you only open apps that use GCM for the first time after completing the microG setup and GCM is connected, or the app will never get registered.

Alright I got it working. Thank you very much!

Would it be better to flash MicroG through NanoDroid or by installing the Magisk MicroG Module?

I don't know what's recommended, but I ended up flashing the magisk module. My reason being is that nanodroid has a ridiculous amount of extra bloat in it.
