[solved] lineage OS 16 with MicroG and working Playstore

Hello,
I using Lineage OS 16 without Gapps but with MicroG.
For me I had no chance to install the NanoDroid Mod. I get always an Bootloop. I don't know why.
I installed MicroG manually over the F-droid Repository. All things work fine. Except the Playstore. The force close when I would use it.
I need the playstore for license verification for few apps.
Has anyone an working setup and can help me?

I solved it myself.
With the magisk module Systemizer I moved the Playstore to /system/priv-app and it works...

Would you be able to help point me to where you got the play store from? Was it just a vanilla play store apk? Or a patched zip file?

Rooted OOS - Replace GApps with microG?

Anyone aware of replacing stock GApps with microG on the stock rom? I'm sure signature spoofing would need to be enabled (via Haystack?) and assuming other changes as well. Mainly looking for a stock-ish setup with GApps and telemetry removed similar to the Tomatot Debloater but keeping as much stock functionality as possibly - VoLTE, VoWifi, fp, etc.
Thanks!

Yes it is possible, I am running MicroG on OOS 10.3.0. You can delete GmsCore (Google Play Services) and Google Services Framework in /system/system/product/priv-app through TWRP by mounting system. OOS doesn't have signature spoofing so you'll also need to use EdXposed for FakeGapps and XposedGmsUnifiedNlp. Then flash the MicroG Installer (Magisk module), and update microG in F-Droid. You can then remove all of the OOS filth and spyware with the debloater module. For this ti work, GmsCore and Google Services Framework cannot be debloated, they have to be deleted manually. For some reason safety net isn't passing atm, still figuring this out.

What even is the point of using microG on a proprietary rom? I suggest you use a rom which supports signature spoofing by default like aosip 10

Safetynet will not work because it's MicroG. I've seen some users manage to pass safetynet with MicroG but you will need to rely on hacky workarounds like NanoDroid (although I personally wasn't able to get safetynet to pass).

You cannot degogle few things like google package installer, googleExt (something like that), when i tried to google them i got bootlooped, however i tried to remove them via debloter (magisk module), if anyone have completely removed gapps let me know
also microg or unifiednlp dont detect proper location for me when i am at my home idk why.

OOS is currently the best rom IMO, chiefly because the OOS camera is that much better than the gcam ports, not to mention the roms stability.
My old phone has MicroG and safety net passes. I know it's possible, it's probably related to OOS not supporting signature spoofing.

NOGAPPS? MicroG?

Anybody gotten MicroG working on the Moto G7 Power? I've got the MetroPCS version, flashed with the RETUS firmware and rooted with Magisk. I've got most of the Google apps systemlessly uninstalled with the Terminal Debloater Magisk module but would like to get rid of Play Services too without losing stock rom and OTA updates. I always used NanoDroid before on my previous phone, Moto G3, but I can't seem to get it to work on this one. Running the patcher to make the stock rom support signature spoofing seems to work and NanoDroid seems to install without errors but when I reboot from TWRP the MicroG settings are nowhere to be found. It's listed in Magisk and MicroG and it's helper apps are listed as installed apps in Terminal but there is no way to access it. NanoDroid supposedly systemlessly removes any GAPPS that would cause a conflict with MicroG and I can verify in Terminal that Play Services & Play Store, at least, are no longer installed. I also tried the MicroG installer found in the Magisk repository with pretty much the same results. I thought that one might work since the NanoDroid Bromite Webview installer fails to install on this phone, claiming incompatibility, yet the Bromite Webview installer in the Magisk repository works without issue so I was hoping the same might be true with the MicroG installer but no such luck. I've tried various little variances in installation trying to get it to work but I'm pretty much stumped at this point.

[Question] EdXposed on Android 11 - Pixel 4a

I should be getting the device in a few days and want to install EdXposed ASAP. I have found a few references of folks who did this but it's not clear whether it's on Android 11 or not.
If any one has been able to install EdXposed and get it running, it would be great if they can share the links to the framework and manager they used. And of course, their experience and tips
This would help the community of Pixel 4a users

Here is how I got it working
Obviously you have a rooted device running Android 11, with Magisk installed.
Install EdXposed Manager v4.5.7.
From the canary tab download the YAHFA/ Sandhook drivers (zip) . Note that downloaded version may have a different name from the file name in canary tab, in my case

Which one did you flash? Yahfa or Sandhook?

Neither one of those show up for me. I tried flashing framework and it says incompatible device.

Sorry for the delay. I didn't get the notification
YAHFA. But note that when I flashed, every thing was fine. In between, probably some Play Store updates broke camera and recorder. Uninstalling updates fixed the problem

Question Signature spoofing on ROG 5 ?

I'm experimenting with rolling Micro-G on ROG5 and de-Google the device (on stock rom obviously). But getting successful signature spoofing is a blocker for me. The Xposed method is not working out , and neither is flashing patches.
Has anyone successfully signature spoofed an ROG 5 yet? If so, mind sharing how you did it. Thanks.

Did you ever solve this?

Hello, You can use this Xposed modules:
On android 11: https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps (latest version should work also on Android 12)
On android 12: https://github.com/nift4/FakeGApps/releases
They are confirmed working, but don't check them with "signature spoofing checker" as they spoof signature only for GMS and Play Store. To install MicroG just systemlessly debloat original GMS and Play Store, reboot and install MicroG Magisk Module from Fox Magisk Modules Manager. This way You will have MicroG installed fully systemless way and You can install system updates from ASUS website without need to repeat installation of MicroG after each update.

Yes I did although didn't stick with it. I need Play Services to remain for a couple of things. Practically everything else Google is stripped from my device however and Play Service is heavily restricted, I found that to be the best solution for me.
