No Gapps Guide&Tutorial (MicroG)

Hi guys, this is an Tutorial of installing MicroG.
MicroG is an alternative to Gapps that includes:
Service Core: Is a library app, providing the functionality required to run apps that use Google Play Services or Google Maps Android API. (GmsCore)
Services Framework Proxy: Is a small helper utility to allow apps developed for Google Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) to use the compatible Google Cloud Messaging service included with GmsCore. (GsfProxy)
Unified Network Location Provider: Is a library that provides Wi-Fi- and Cell-tower-based geolocation to applications that use Google’s network location provider. It is included in GmsCore but can also run independently on most Android systems. (UnifiedNlp)
Maps API: Is a system library, providing the same functionality as now deprecated Google Maps API (v1). (mapsv1)
Store: Is a frontend application providing access to the Google Play Store to download and update applications. (Phonesky) [Same functionality and looks as the Gplaystore]
Why you would want to install MicroG instead of Gapps?
1.More privacy
2.Uses very little ram and memory
3.OGYoutube, an youtube app that works only with MicroG and has backround playback and downloads directly from the app
How to install MicroG:
Prerequisites:
In order for MicroG to work, it needs to pretend to be the official implementation of Play Services. To do this, MicroG must be able to spoof Google’s Play Service’s package signature.
Signature spoofing is not available in most custom ROMs, though patches are available for ROM developers to include in their project. For Marshmallow and Nougat ROMs, spoofing is provided as a runtime permission that the user can grant or deny to apps, which is an added bonus.
If your Rom doesen't include Signature spoofing then you can activate Signature spoofing with: Tingle/Haystack/NanoDroid/FakeGapps[Xposed Module]
First option:
Download Services Core, Service Framework Proxy, UnifiedNpl and FakeStore if you want to install other stores than the Official Google play store. (Yald Store, F-Droid etc) [Download link: https://microg.org/download.html]
Install them. After that go to MicroG settings and click on self-check, give MicroG the permissions required and check "System grants signature spoofing permission" if its not checked. To log in to Phonesky you need to enable Google device registration in microG settings, after that make any changes you want to the settings.

As i told in the thread.
MicroG is an ALTERNATIVE to Gapps. You don't flash MicroG over Gapps.
So basically uninstall the Gapps and MicroG / Clean flash the Rom.
And after that install NanoDroid-MicroG and NanoDroid-Patcher and enable google device registartion in microG settings.
Good luck. Next time read the thread proprerly

Hi,
I have installed Nanodroid via Magisk on LOS 15.
Signature spoofing is not enabled.
I tried the xposed installer from F-Droid. This did not work. Magisk has a number of xposed modules but I cannot figure out which version to use.
I then flashed nanodroid patcher 17.2. This failed also!
How can I get signature spoofing to work? Thanks!

Hi.
So your Rom is probably odexed.
You will need to use FakeGapps Xposed module.
Just install the Module, enable it from the Xposed app and reboot. Now signature spoofing will work.
If you need any futher help just pm me on Xda or telegram, @Thespartann.
Also if you want to log in into Play Store enable google device registration in MicroG settings.
I recommend you Aurora Store instead of Google Play Store
Good luck.
If i helped press the thanks button

Hi Thespartann!
Thanks for the reply!
So, I got xposed installed. Flashed it in TWRP then in the xposed app I installed it via recovery.
I then eventually installed the FakeGapps app.
Microg gives self check now gives 'System spoofs signature' a tick - it did not before.
Another app 'Signature Spoofing Checker' however says 'Disabled' -???
I was trying to get the emergency/rideshare app 'Cell411' working. Previously it booted up and said play service were required. That message is now gone! Yay - except the map will not load!
So..
In microg there is a check box unchecked -'UnifiedNlp do not have location to test Geocoder'
In configure location backends I have 6 things ticked on.
nb The FOSS weather apps now load faster!
How do I get the map to load in Cell411 (and Uber)??
Am I missing some setting?
re: log in into Play Store enable google device registration in MicroG settings.
I have been using F-droid, Yalp and Aptoide. Will enabling device registration give me any functionality for maps?
I have not heard of Aurora! I will have to check that out!
What of google cloud messaging and SafetyNet - do I need those for any reason - map related or otherwise? ps I am trying to avoid all google service, foremost for privacy and secondarily for FLOSS reasons.
Thank you!

Hey again
From what I know google cloud messaging is for receiving notifications from some apps.
SafetyNet is so you can pass safety net
Google device registration is so you can log in to Youtube/Calendar/Play Store etc with your google account.
None of these three is enabled by default so no need to worry
Well, I never dived on how to use Maps, because I never needed to use Maps
Some apps may require you to have FakeStore, that's an app so other apps think you have Google Play installed (You might have to install FakeStore as a system app)
I will do my research these days and also highly update this thread with useful information.
As why Signature Spoofing Checker shows you you don't have signature spoofing, that may be because the framework still doesn't have signature spoofing, and the module FakeGapps just did some tricks, without modifying the Framework.

Still can't post in the NO GAPPS telegram?|

Can someone lead me in the right direction and if there are any telegram admins in here Go NO GAPPS/NO GAPPS can you please unrestrict my access. My username is nightravels.

Someone is using Smali Patcher?

Hi, was using Smali Patcher, the Magisk module to do spoofing in Pokémon GO , in my OP5 with Android 9 without any problems, but now I try to use It in my OP8 Pro and It doesn't works.
I have the Magisk correctly installed and I pass the Safety Net, and the module is correctly installed too, but when I use the fake GPS, my location doesn't moves of my real location, and I don't have any error in the game or Magisk.

How have you managed to make Pogo run? What magisk version do you use? I have Magisk hide enabled. I have renamed Magisk Manager. I use hiddencore with edxposed I pass SafetyNet but Pogo doesn't log me in. I get the Unable to authenticate error!

[Question] How to fake 'Official' Device Status on SM-T350

Hello, I have an SM-T350 rooted with Magisk, how can I fake the Device Status to show Official under settings?
(Right now it says Custom)

Using an Edxposed Module named "Firefds Kit" To install edxposed YouTube or Google Search "How to Install edxposed on Android (Version Goes Here)" then once installed, go to the hamburger menu of the exposed manager app and select downloads, then search Firefds Kit, then select the one for your android, for example, the one for Android Pie would be Firefds Kit [P], then install the latest version, select modules in the hamburger menu, and turn on Firefds Kit, restart, then open the firefds kit app, then go to the hamburger menu, tap security, then turn on "fake official status", restart, and check settings, THIS WILL NOT MAKE APPS LIKE SECURE FOLDER AND S HEALTH (If you sideload it since your on a tablet) THINK YOUR ON OFFICIAL BINARY. to do that, you need to patch one of the system files using a text editor in a root browser and restart, and for secure folder, it is under security in firefds kit, turn on enable secure folder, restart, try to enable it, restart, then hopefully the icon in apps should be there, tap it and set it up.

Thanks but I have Android 7.1.1 which only works with Xposed not Edxposed so will this work with Xposed? Also what about passing safetynet? I thought safetynet wouldn't pass with Xposed installed? Also when you said "to do that, you need to patch one of the system files using a text editor in a root browser and restart" which system file were you talking about? What do I need to patch? Can I do it without a module?

The system file patch is only if you have s health and want it to work. since you are on a tablet you must likely have notsideloaded it, I don't know if you can do it without a module, the process should be the same with xposed

Well, I can't really do it with Xposed because safetynet won't pass plus when I go into Xposed installer (Magisk version) after installing the Xposed Framework Magisk module it still says "Xposed framework is not installed" when I open Xposed installer. So, I may just have to try this on my S8 which runs Android Pie

Yes, MagiskHide was on but I don't think MagiskHide can hide Xposed even if it is system-less. Also, yes I installed Xposed correctly by first installing the Magisk module and then by installing the Magisk compatible Xposed installer app. I don't really know how to solve these two problems

Magisk attestation/safteynet failed

Hi, magisk was passing saftey net. I installed magisk 21.2 with twrp and it says its installed. Installed Magisk hide and hid all Google apps and I think it changed the devices fingerprint in the install log. But no luck. Any ideas?

You just need to enable Magisk hide option in Magisk Manager (nothing specially to install for), and the required activity for GooglebPlay Services to hide will be already checked-in. You don't need to check in manually the other Google apps (and better you don't)
All that does not change device fingerprint or any prop.
If you really want to change props (incl. device fingerprint), use Magisk Hide Props Config (MHPC), find its XDA thread with the Guide in OP post (and more detailed guide on its Github)
And I don't see any problem ("no luck"?!) on your screenshot.
If SafetyNet is passing, better don't change any props/fingerprints - specially, before playing with, carefully study Magisk Wiki and MHPC Guide from Github

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
I reinstalled to go back to default magisk settings. I have Magiskhide enabled. But for instance. The macdonalds app when redeeming an offer will say "security check failed". Also playstore cant see netflix and some other apps anymore with new version of magisk. I used magisk to pass safteynet to do that before, or it was doing that before but its not passing safteynet with 21.2 magisk now
I tried using MagiskHide Props Config to change the devices finger print but attestation keeps failing

On Magisk Github find Wiki, there is the whole chapter devoted to the problems how certain apps detect root and tips how you can try to prevent
But it's a constant game of mice and cat - you may fix it for now (for some of those apps), but a newer version of that app may explore a new methods to again detect the root
As the minimum, enlist the given apps to the Magisk hide list.
Also, take Hide Magisk Manager and rename it - it may help (some apps look if Magisk Manager is installed).
Remove TWRP folder (some look for that) - read the Wiki, try all the tips suggested there
Btw, are you passing SafetyNet or no. First you must make sure to pass (my comments above are about that even if you pass SsfetyNet, that there are still apps that declare that phone is rooted, by taking other checks and methodes).
So, Msgisk Hide must be enabled.
If its still not passing SafetyNet, take a screenshot - does it pass Basic Integrity or not, does it show taking Basic or Hardware eval type for CTS
Some Magisk modules may also cause SafetyNet to fail. Disable all modules, reboot and try again
These are all important details, not just SN is failing or some app detects root...

thanks will do. Gave them a go and now trying changing my devices finger print. Just cant get attestation/basicintegrity or cts profile to pass. Only have magisk hide propconfig module @zgfg

See again my previous post - I've edited/added some details

I enabled magisk hide. Changed magisk name. Changed every fingerprint and simulation of device I could but still get this

I checked magisk hide with a root checker and its working with that. So somethings working. Cant find the magisk github wiki but finding lots of other stuff to try to get saftey net passing. Just no luck yet

trying to install HiddenCore Module from Xposed but the manager is saying xposed framework is not installed even though I've have Riru core and tried both frameworks. All this stuff worked before on my phone before the new magisk update or googles updated something maybe

had to install framework via TWRP. Got HiddenCore Module going and safety net check pass!!! However still cant redeem offers with macas because of security check fail. Wonder what there looking for now. Removed everything before and just hid with magisk but they must have updated. Also cant see my netflix in google play like i used to

[GUIDE][19.1] microG + SafetyNet

This post is based on u/mvus Reddit post but adopted to my experience. ROM will be able to pass BASIC SafetyNet Attestation: working most(~95% as of now) banking apps, Google Pay; Google Contants Cloud Sync will work as expected; applications that do not support Magisk overlays will still work. For me, this is a 100% working setup. I use LineageOS myself in this form and am completely satisfied.
There are several ways to get LineageOS to your device. First: official, without pre-installed microG and GApps. Second: unofficial, but with a built-in microG out of the box. My instruction is written based on the first type of builds. LineageOS for microG is a wonderful project, but I needed Play Store so that applications would not have problems with license verifications (Repainter, KWGT, for example, do not work if there is no Play Store). And on the second type of builds, it is not possible to install Play Store, since there is a hard-coded FakeStore, which you will not be able to delete or overwrite with Play Store, I tried for a long time in many ways.
Guide:
Root with Magisk, enable Zygisk and DenyList in its options;
Install Zygisk - LSPosed Magisk module. Get latest MinMicroG release here (version from 16 Jan 2023 on my device) (choose edition yourself, Standard edition if you want to have exact my setup). Flash it in TWRP and reboot into system;
Install FakeGApps apk. Install Displax forked SafetyNet Fix Magisk module this version (2.4 version can't pass CTS);
Install microG apk accordingly to version of MinMicroG (0.2.27.223616 accordingly to the MinMicroG version on my device) (update existing apk installed from TWRP, needed because else microG settings would crash because of SafetyNetFix, also you can't grant all permissions to microG);
Grant all permissions to microG in its settings. To grant GPS in background permission, enable GPS once and go into microG settings;
Hide Magisk through its settings, give it whatever name you want. Also in DenyList, check banking applications, GPay.

Thank you! Work perfectly for me.
