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.

So, I have installed various Xposed modules along with various magisk modules that says to allow signature spoofing without success, I'm now looking for a rom with signature spoofing support to enable MicroG services and just replace some of my Google apps. YouTube vanced for example requires MicroG to work, but for some reason I just can't find anything at all that allows me to enable signature spoofing. Any one who could point me in the right direction? I just received my op6 today and bootloader unlocking, twrp install and rooting went fine. So figured why not change rom as well when I'm in it all ready xD

HavocOS is aLOS based ROM that includes the "signature spoofing" patch. I haven't tried it with MicroG, but it is supported. IIRC, some folks have used Vance d though. You could search the ROM's thread for more info.
Omni, LiquidRemix, and Havoc all support signature spoofing, however I've had issues with certain parts of MicroG compatibility out the box and required a few tweaks to get going. I'm up and running with MicroG and LiquidRemix right now.
Can you tell me what the major benefits of microg are? Does it really increase battery life a lot? Or is it more of a privacy thing?

To install you just flash nanodroid?
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.
Hi folks!
I'm trying to pass the Google Safety Net on my 8T but I fail both on the basic integrity and the cts profile check.
So here's what I did:
I started from a "clean" phone, out-of-the-box with stock everything.
I installed Lineage OS for microG = no gapps (their custom recovery and the ROM image from here following this wiki guide)
I updated the preinstalled Magisk to the newest version (version 23.0 (23000))
I patched my boot image with Magisk, flashed it, getting root.
I installed microG DroidGuard Helper from the Fdroid nanolx repository (version 0.1.0-10-gf64bf69)
I installed the following module: MagiskHide Props Config (version 5.4.0-v128)
I rebooted
I enabled Magisk Hide and hid microG Services Core ( = com.google.android.gms) and tried to hide DroidGuard (but the checkbox wouldn't stay ticked)
I rebooted
After this, I can't even get past the basic integrity test. The evalType says basic.
So I have read about this Universal Safety Net fix to pass the cts profile check but it says it would require a pass in the basic integrity test first, so I'm out of luck there.
As this is the first time I'm dabbling with rooting my phone please point out any mistakes and request any information you might need to help.
Thanks in advance,
Alex
Unless something has changed very recently you can't pass SafetyNet in microg.
Oh, I see. That's a shame. Do you know why that is or can you point me to a source that explains why this does not work or what would be needed to make it work?

I believe to remember that the microG thread contains a few information:
[APP] microG GmsCore - lightweight free software clone of Google Play Services
Introduction microG GmsCore is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) framework to allow applications designed for Google Play Services to run on systems, where Play Services is not available. If you use your phone without GAPPS this might...

The required DroidGuardHelper isn't up-to-date - and probably can't be updated, I don't know.
You can't also check the µG Github for reported issues:

Personally, I using µG for years but I personally don't require to pass SafetyNet i.e. I never cared.
microG GmsCore 0.2.23.214816 can pass SafetyNet.
Starting from this version microG DroidGuard Helper is no longer needed and it must be removed.

Any guides on this anywhere ? Is it true for all devices ? Mine is XZ2C anyway..
I've tried LineageOS for micro g and official lineageOS installing micro g afterwards and no luck still.
official lineageOS with google services works fine to pass safetynet.
Your input or a little guide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
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.
Has anyone managed to get microG working yet?
I can get it installed via the revived or nanodroid Magisk modules, but haven't been able to get Signature Spoofing box ticked.
Have tried FakeGApps and Core Patch (LSPosed), and Smali patcher, no dice.
dude....couple more details what u talking about
microG is an alternative to google play services, with some flaws but less battery-sapping (and privacy-compromising) tracking.
now i can say....i have no clue what u talking about

vanced microG worked on my phone (noroot)
Depending on a variety of factors the boxes will not tick, however stuff would be working, as simple as opening play store, which won't open if it weren't properly set up.
Let us know.
Hey, did you get it to work? Also, did using Magisk mess up any other features (like the original camera app or anything else)?
I got it working beautifully thanks, no harmful side-effects, and this is what I ended up using for signature spoofing, which wasn't too hard to set up compared with some other options out there:

Just to reiterate this post... You are running Stock Android/Rooted/De-Googled and replaced with Micro G right? I have been on a quest the past week or so trying to find a ROM that works but it has been a lot of soft bricking and compromises once I do get one up and running. So this would be ideal for sure. Replace GAPPS with Micro G and keep the Sony camera apps. Either way I'll dig through those links and see what I can get figured out. Thanks!
