Hello Everyone.
I was wondering of there was a good magisk module or flashable zip or list of google based applications I can freeze / remove on this phone.
I have manually done it as best I can in the past before using / Lineage OS / Havoc Rom / AOSIP ROM Etc but there are too many bugs and I want to maintain as much stock functionality like Cameras / GPS etc (My two main issues).
Is there a Stock ROM without any google apps / services or good way to disable or remove them?
Any good guides to remove them / freeze them if not.
Thank you!

If you want to use aosp would not flashing fapped cause the issues you're referring?
Personally I'd recommend staying on oos and using xxnolimits and edit the profile, let's you do a very thorough debloat and you can pick what you want to remain.

ASAIK micro-G is required to run android without google services, custom roms are mostly compatible with micro-G but not sure about OOS, but can be tried, hope this helps, cheers.
Thanks, I have tried xxnolimits in the past. Good magisk rom. Yea, AOSP just has too many issues for now but maybe later.

Thanks, the list at the end of Tomatot Debloater is useful. I am already using MicroG and Signiture Spoofing. Appreciate the help, trying to strip out google as much as possible.

THIS THREAD IS OBSOLETED DUE TO THE SUCCESSOR PROJECT
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/lineageos-microg-t3700997
Hello folks,
aim of this project is to provide a mature rom for android devices bundled with the free google apps implementation microG. For now i just take the latest LineageOS, apply some required patches, add microg and build it afterwards.
I started this project, because i became frustrated, when i wanted to get my phone google free, cause there where so many constraints to fullfil, before microG fully works. - And after an rom update, the half is broken again.
Required steps to make microg work after fresh install:
Install a UnifiedNLP location- and address lookup backend. Search in F-Droid for 'nlp'. I recommend MozillaNlpBackend and NominatimNlpBackend.
Grant signature spoofing permission to 'microG Services Core' and 'FakeStore': Settings -> Apps -> ⚙ (gear) --> App permissions -> Spoof package signature -> 3 dots (tripple colon) -> Show System
Enable Google device registration, Enable Google Cloud Messaging, enable Google Safety Net (if not rooted)
Open microG Settings -> Self-Check -> Tap everything is missing. It might ask you to do some settings.
Some free app substitutions i can recommend (F-Droid):
Google Play Store -> YalpStore
Google Contact Sync -> DAVdroid
Facebook -> SlimSocial for Facebook
Twitter -> SlimSocial for Twitter
YouTube -> NewPipe

Oneplus 5 is cheeseburger. Just download the latest one.
Nice!! I'm downloading it now for my Oneplus One, and I'll post back with my experience after installing it. This will be my first exposure to the microG concept, I've read a lot about it, but never wanted to jump through the hoops to set it up. Now you have made it possible to try out. Thanks much!!
I've just updated the OP to give new microg users first instructions, what is needed to configure in order to make everything work.

Thank you for taking the time to do that, I would have been at a loss as to what to do without those instructions. As I said, I'm a total noob where microG is concerned, but with your ROM, I certainly intend to find out what I've been missing! :good:
Do you compile microG with the ROM (i.e. it is signed by you) or do you copy it into the ROM (i.e. signed the same as on the official download area?
Makes a difference for those who would like to upgrade microG via F-Droid.
Lineage is self signed, while microg apks are taken as they're provided from microg project.
I'm willing to always add the latest prebuilts to my builds, therefore OTA updating should be enough for most users.
I finally got your rom up and running, and I must say I'm impressed! Magisk installed just fine. My custom modded Youtube app is working well. And using the Yalpstore I can access things on Play store just fine! I noticed that one or two apps that were licensed as Pro versions that I restored via Titanium Backup now complain that they want me to purchase a Pro license to give me full access to all features. I'm still digging into that issue.. All in all, this test on my OnePlus One is going just fine, so far...
OK, couple of questions, if you don't mind.. When you put out a daily build, or whenever I choose to update the rom, can I dirty flash safely? Second question is if dirty flash will work, can I safely assume that I don't have to do all the setup tasks you outlined in the OP to get microG up and running? It wasn't all that hard, but as a first timer, I'd say it wasn't the simplest task in the world. hah
I realize that doing a clean install will require me to set up microG again, but I'd rather avoid that if possible??
Was it an in-app payment? I'm not sure, whether this is fully working with the current state of the implementation of google apis. In YalpStore you can logout the default shared account and login using your credentials to install your previously bought application.
Dirty flashing nightlys either via OTA updater app or manual should not be a problem. I was doing so for more than 2 years without any problem. At least as long as you stay within one major version. - F for updating to Oreo i'd strongly recommend to do a clean flash.

I got the Pro issues solved. Logging in with my credentials did the trick, thanks!
That's good news re: dirty flashing, I like that! I doubt that I'll be going to Oreo anytime soon on the OnePlus One. There are a couple of 'test' roms out, but they are far, far away from being a daily driver. I do believe I'll be sticking with yours for the foreseeable future.
Again, I appreciate your hard work and effort spent in providing a rom that can get me un-tetherd from Google, for the most part.
Another question for you. How would I know if a nightly really needs to be flashed without a changelog to refer to? I know that doing a changelog every day is a big ask, but is there anywhere I could at least get an idea of any changes or updates made??
Since i just take upstream lineageos, take a look into their changelog. But since i build daily, also the section "Changes to be included in next build" is likely included in my builds.
For your device it would be: https://download.lineageos.org/bacon/changes/
Great, thanks again!
@Simon94 can you please add oneplus2 to the list?
Thanks!
Edit: forget it, just see you has already done
Good idea. Can you imagine to build for condor or wt88047 as well?
Good to see kenzo in the list... Surely I'll give a try... Alao i would like to ask, that will microg break any stuffs of hangout nd google duo....?
Is it possible to cover the Moto E4 snapdragon variant?

Hello,
I am concerned about my data privacy, I would like to use F-Droid and disable/uninstall all Google services on a Global version, is it possible?
Thank you!

Just load the Chinese Rom?
Or use a custom rom.
I can load a Chinese ROM to avoid violating my personal data by Google but in return, I give everything to the Chineses. Is that it or Chinese ROM are safe??
Are there alternative ROMs for the Xiaomi?
Thanks sir !
Well, in your case the only real solution for now is to flash any of the Treble-compatible ROMs without installing gapps, but the experience will be far less polished compared to official Xiaomi ROMs.
Thanks a lot Teddy... I will wait for the new Pixel then and pry for a CopperheadOS release!
You can just root it and remove everything Google via titanium backup

Do these ROMs have the slight but constant micro-stuttering that the stock ROM has?
I guess all these ROMs are loaded with Google's stuff?
With the exception of Play Store I'd like to be free of the Google fleet of useless apps.
It's great that you've been able to port these ROMs. I hope a lot of people use them. I just have different needs! Tx.

Yes, all of them. You can "freeze" or delete unwanted Google apps. Do it manually or try to find scripts which can do this automatically.
Hi, I was thinking to buy this tablet.
Can these ROMs fix the issue of too high brightness even at the lowest level?
If not can you recommend a free application to solve the problem?
Better this or teclast m89 pro? Thanks.

To solved this brightness issue I use the sFilter app or any other blue light filter app.
But to tell the truth, I wouldn't recommend to buy any Teclast tablet. I have a problem where he doesn't accept the installation of Instagram or Facebook app. I saw that many people have the same problem.
Anyone else with this problem or know how to solve?

I added solution, check it and let me know if it works for u
It's possible to change brightness limits manually by editing firmware files, If there's a big problem for u and other users I can change its' range sometime. Just let me know what firmware u are using.
Hello dev!
Are you still working on this device firmware? I bought it this month and not even on official site could find updates for, so I don't know if there is any firmware that I should update before using these that you made...
I'm using Pixel Experience and found it great. But I had problems with the initial setup, which always had trouble trying to recover the configuration of another device. When I checked to set up as a new device it work fine.
I could not open Magisk too, but i wanted to disable it and remove, but always shows error when trying. I'll try MIUI in sequence to see if I can.
Another question: The modified Stock has gapps included? (and can I remove root?)
Thank you so much for your work, I was happy to know that have other firmware for this tablet.

I used the modified rom too and liked a lot, but I couldn't install some apps through the playstore and had problems to remove root (Magisk). So I installed ASUS ROM and it is very stable and everything is working great. I'll leave it and see what happens!

Hello!
1) There is no more firmwares to port for our device. Also I don't know much about modding firmwares, so Pixel was my first successful experiment.
2) Latest official firmware for our device is TOS v2.1 which can be found in appropriative thread here. Seems no more updates will be released for our device.
3) Restoring function is bad idea esp on custom ROM. You should always make clean installation.
4) Custom ROMs can only boot with root access (e.g. Magisk). You cant uninstall it. In other case your device wont boot (Android 7.0 classical issue). P.S Magisk is not like "classic" root, so you can "hide" it for apps that don't work on rooted device.
5) Of course stock ROM includes Gapps. All made changes are listed in topic. Root can'f be removed on any custom ROM (see p.4).

I gave the tablet to my son, the Stock ROM that came on it is'nt good and so I put the ASUS ZenUI ROM. (After testing all others)
I hide Magisk and the ROM is working perfectly.

Hey all - Spent quite a bit of time on just stock OOS - Looking to get back into custom roms - Last one was Pie LiquidRemix.
Does Android auto work properly in this ROM?
Thanks!
I though android auto is just a standalone app you can install from playstore after installing gapps, but I am not 100% sure

Hi. I am new to xda and android. I just want to know what is vanilla type custom roms. i know it doesnt have gapps. right? (that we need to flash gapps separately) By why some devs make gapps separately, i mean cant they include it in their custom roms. I also know there are gpps included custom roms also. But i am curious that some people like vanilla type custom roms. Why? Is there any advantage in using vanilla custom roms than a preincluded gapps roms? Just curious to know. I googled this but didnt found any apt answer. Hope u huys understand my question ☺
GMS ( AKA GApps ) is propietary stuff copyrighted by Google, hence can not get embedded in Custom ROMs unless developers of Custom ROMs obtain a licence to make use of GMS.

I'm one of those guys. All of our devices are GApps free i.e. without any Google services or applications. I don't want Google to track me and/or my usage behaviour; simple as that. My data are my data, and I decide what happens with them.
