You can use NanoDroid as a Magisk Module for GApps. https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nanomod-5-0-20170405-microg-t3584928

how can i do that? i mean.. can i flash right after the rom? or later?
plus.. do i have to do an other work to do as it is said to be a module for magisk?

Good night, jenslody. How do I put nanodroid?

It should work the same way as for other roms, except that this one already has signature spoofing included (probably needed if you want to use microG instead of Gapps), see the first post of this thread for instructions how to use it with microG.
If you want to use NanoDroid systemless, I suggest using Magisk 16.6 beta, it should work flawlessly.
For the installation process of NanoDroid, you should switch to it's thread.
There are too many possible setup scenarios to answer here.
I personally only use the custom microG apks's by @Setialpha (many thanks for it by the way) to pass safetynet, because I want them as "real" (user) apps, so I do not need to reinstall the packages, that rely on googles push-service, like e.g. Threema, if I break Magisk while testing it (happens from time to time, while debugging in the internal test group).

What's the procedure for using microG, because I'm not getting it.
Please, if you can explain.

I extracted gms-core and droidguard-helper from naonodroid-zip and installed the as user-apps, the rest of the needed microG apps on my device are from f-droid.
I used terminal-systemizer from Magisk-modules to systemize both to pass safetynet, but make it systemless, so it survives an OTA-update.

But that's just my way, because I mess around with debugging Magisk.

Normally you can use NanoDroid "the normal way", everything you need to know is in its thread (link posted above).

.
Unfortunately not at the moment..
Bootleggers is currently rebased to pure AOSP with LineageOS..
It should be ready this or the next week (hopefully)..
.
Not sure of it will have august security patch or not..
We will see.

Try without gapps first and if that works, try gzr- or mindthegapps.
I don't use gapps, so not much help from me at the moment.

 

[kemalos]
