How to get Signature Spoofing working on Android 11 (R) Roms that have no support for Signature Spoofing?
In my Case here I use a Samsung Galaxy S8 with an unofficial LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) by stricted
I use TWRP recovery but this should not matter !
First of all Flash your ROM and Magisk (you need to download the latest version to get Magisk working on Android 11)
Link for my ROM in case anyone needs it:
dreamlte(s8): https://images.stricted.net/test/18.1/lineage-18.1-20201231-UNOFFICIAL-dreamlte.zip
dream2lte(s8+): https://images.stricted.net/test/18.1/lineage-18.1-20201231-UNOFFICIAL-dream2lte.zip
greatlte(n8): https://images.stricted.net/test/18.1/lineage-18.1-20201231-UNOFFICIAL-greatlte.zip
Magisk Link: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/tag/v21.2
Click on Build number (7x) to enable Developer Options
After that enable ADB-Debugging and Root-ADB-Debugging in your ROM in case of LineageOS go to Setting -> System -> Developer Options
So Lets go this is the more complicated part. but also really easy if you done it once.
I'm using Debian Linux but it should be possible on every OS. In Windows use the Linux Subsystem.
You need to have ADB installed on your System tho.
ADB link: https://adbdownload.com
First of all you need to download this 2 Files:
spoof_AVDapi30.zip.ONLY'MAGISK&ANDROID-STUDIO · 11-attempt · oF2pks / Haystack · GitLab
GitLab.com
gitlab.com
https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/files/5652857/microG_AVDx86api30_magiskMaRViN.zip
Rename "spoof\_AVDapi30.zip.ONLY'MAGISK&ANDROID-STUDIO" to "spoof\_AVDapi30.zip"
Next Download this zip: https://gitlab.com/oF2pks/haystack/-/archive/11-attempt/haystack-11-attempt.zip
Also download this jar file: https://github.com/DexPatcher/dexpa...nload/v1.8.0-beta1/dexpatcher-1.8.0-beta1.jar
So now unzip the haystack-11-attempt.zip and put the dexpatcher.jar file into to Folder.
This part I use Bash shell in Linux.
Bash:
adb pull /system/framework/services.jar
java -jar dexpatcher-1.8.0-beta1.jar -a 11 -M -v -d -o ./ services.jar 11-hook-services.jar.dex 11core-services.jar.dex
(After that Command you should have 4 files all named classes*.dex)
Bash:
mkdir repack
zip -j repack/services.jar classes*.dex
After that you should have a new services.jar in your repack Folder.
Now You need to open the spoof\_AVDapi30.zip go in /system/framework/ and delete the old services.jar and put your own file in. that's in your repack Folder.
Don't ruin the zip-format of the file tho because otherwise Magisk will cry while install.
After that put your spoof-AVDapi30.zip and your microG\_AVDx86api30\_magiskMaRViN.zip on your Phone and Flash via Magisk.
Reboot and you hopefully have Signature spoofig working. If you run in any Problems check out the GitHub Links here. there will be comments that maybe will help.
I also want to credit the real developers of this
on xda: Lanchon (DexPatcher & Haystack)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/m/lanchon.4141005/
I'm Sorry if there is ****ty English.
The best of luck for you guys i hope this helps.

Hello, I have a question, this ROM for the S8, is it in beta? or can it be used normally?

Thanks a lot, with the help of your instructions and files I installed it on my Mi Note 10 (tucana) with LineageOS 18.1!
However, it's not working when Magisk Hide is activated - any idea to combine both?

Thanks a lot too ~~ is very working grade ~~

Thank you so much, worked like a charm on an unofficial LineageOS 18.1 ROM running on Lenovo K6 Power

Good stuff man. It really works. Got this running on LOS unofficial 18.1 on a Samsung G970F. Big

So Magisk cried! It said not a Magisk module and 'installation failed'.
I re-zipped the spoof-AVDapi30 folder with included jar file, re-zipped by right clicking in Dolphin file manager and compressing as zip.
What am I doing wrong? How do I not ruin the zip-format? Thanks.

Just open the zip on windows winrar on linux just click it. Go and find the .jar delete it and click on addfile and add yours. Pretty basic and if you know how to make a magisk-flashable zip you can also do that but my way is just a shortcut. But dont UNZIP.

This is my daily driver that I have decided to share. With the increase of big tech and government overreach in our lives, I felt more of a desire to move away from Google and the similar. Hotdogb isn't supported by other similar OS' so built this from microG/LineageOS source and is fully functional.
Based on Android 11
Last Updated: May 5th
Kernel Source: GitHub
Donate if you enjoy!​Changelogs:
05.09.2021 - Updated to LineageOS nightly 05.09.2021. Full changelog can be found at https://download.lineageos.org/hotdogb/changes.
05.05.2021 - Initial Release.
What is this?
This is LineageOS with all closed-source binary Google blobs removed and replaced with microG. I.E no Play services or GAPPS. UnifiedNLP is used as networking location provider vice Google's NLP. F-Droid is installed by default providing alternative app store. However, with Aurora store you can still install Google Play store apps with ease (requires additional installations).
Installation
Since this is a fork of LineageOS you can follow the same installation guide they provide here. Just ensure you are on Lineage recovery and ready to sideload LineageOS, use our ROM for that step.
Issues
None known. Post below if you have any.
Post Installation
- open the microG app --> Self-Check sections are successful.
Location services
- By default, MozillaNlpbackend, which uses Mozilla location service and NominatimNlpBackend, which uses Mapquest's Noninatim service; are disabled by default. Open microG app --> Location modules and enable whichever ones you prefer. Afterwards reboot device.
Other information
Google Play Store Alternative
If you want full access to normal android Play Store apps do the following:
Open F-Droid app. Search for Aurora Store and install. Once opened select the appropriate option, generally option #1 will be the most common used with this ROM as long as it has not been modified by the user. Once setup you will have access to all applications as normal.
Some apps require play services and I cannot use them, please help!
This will require both SU and Magisk installed, which is not provided in our base rom. Once you have achieved SU with Magisk you will need to read over and install NanoDroid which can be found here XDA| Website.

Thanks for posting, I was looking to switch over to microG now with LOS 18.1 for hotdogb
Just wanna confirm, will these builds support OTA updater/dirty flashing for updates?

You will be able to dirty flash future updates similiar to LOS. Just be aware if you have modded any system files i.e. NanoDroid system install vice using Magisk; then you will have to reapply after dirty flash.
I'm working on OTA updates in the next release, just haven't set the hosting up at the moment.

Can I flash this right over top of the Official Lineage for HotdogB, or do I have to go stock 1st?
Thanks

I would recommend loading recovery Factory Reset, then Format data / factory reset. Dirty flash might work, but I have not tested it. It also may come with unwanted consequences.

I was going to factory reset anyways, since I never really made the Official Lineage a daily driver. I was really waiting for MicroG before I went all out.
Thanks for the effort.

All installed, and all the boxes are checked in MicroG! Thanks!

No worries, I added the boot.img in case anyone wants to patch with Magisk. I had to do so and also install NanoDroid as a Magisk module to use a few apps that were expecting play store services.

Once you go with MicroG you are out of the Google Eco System. And dont try to log in as they may wipe out your email and cancel you. I just imported my contacts, as suggested.

I managed to get wear working, but if I open the app it tells me to get it from the playstore, and breaks connection to my watch.

Use MicroG to be the go-between for Google eco. You can login through MicroG if you have an app that is in need of it and MicroG will be the in-between.

I heard it is against the terms, so it is safe to log into microg and get the apps that you paid for?

Of course its against their terms and you can login, but there is always the risk your account is banned. Though I have never had an issue.
If you're weary you can always make a separate Google account and use to try it out.

***Disclamer I am not responsible for any damage you made to your device. You have been warned.***
crDroid is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device also attempting to bringing many of the best features existent today. Along with including some tweaks that I personally made.
crDroid Features
My Additions:
1. Wichaya8's GCam 8.1 - Thanks to @VortexHD for his GCam 8.1 Config
2. Swan Stable Kernel (Thanks to @AShiningRay)
Flashing Instructions:
Note: Your device must have TWRP installed.
First time installation:
1. Wipe System, Data, Dalvik/ART Cache, and Cache (format data if your previous ROM was password protected)
2. Flash the ROM corresponding with your LG G5 variant
If you chose to not use Gapps install the Gcam-Services-Provider app.
3. Reboot
Update installation:
1. Flash the ROM corresponding with your LG G5 variant
2. Wipe Davlik/ART Cache and Cache (optional)
Note: I highly recommend checking if zram is properly allocated. Download the RamTruth app and make sure swap is 3gb, if not you must clean flash to fix it.
Bugs/Issues
1. Gapps not working
2. No Wifi Calling, 5ghz hotspot or VoLTE (don't ask about it, it's unlikely to ever work as LG/Cell Carriers have locked down the VoLTE drivers)
3. Voice calls are not working
4. You tell me

GCam Config
For Best results an xml config for GCam is Highly recommended
1. Download the config attached to this thread.
2. Open File Manager and create a folder called GCam then inside that folder make another folder called Configs8.
3. Open GCam and double tap on the black area next to the shutter button and press restore.
4. Your Config is now selected and will become the default settings in GCam whenever you open the app.

How to pass SafteyNet
Within Magisk select "Systemless Hosts" to add the module
Enable "Enfore DenyList"
Select "Configure DenyList"
Tap the three dots in the top right corner and enable "Show System"
Find and Select "microG Services Core" then toggle "com.google.android.gms" and "com.google.android.gms.unstable"
Open the "microG Settings" app and test SafteyNet
Most apps requiring SafteyNet should now be working.

Hello, is it possible to get a version of this ROM without MicroG pre installed? I'd like to try and use MindTheGApps instead in order to attempt to get some level of GApps working, and I'm not sure I can flash directly over MicroG.

Unfortunately Gapps are broken on crDroid right now so Gapps won't work properly. That's why I added microg, it's just a work around.

A Play Store workaround has been figured out. Go to this link and install Aurora Store it's an alt play store app and has the same apps as the play store. It is also is much faster on older devices. Learn more on their XDA thread.

Hi, does it work?
Issues i found with this crDroid Rom is, that double tapping does not wake up the phone (but there is an option for that) and the phone immediatly went off at 5% battery when i started the cam app. I thought that the phone should shut down slowly, right?
So maybe i have to reformat the battery or something to work correctly with this rom?
Btw. why do this rom has Go Gallery when it is degoogled?

Question Pixel 6a on Official 13 - is Root possible

Phone arrived today, got on the website, downloaded the latest August build. I did not notice it was 13. Unlocked the bootloader, flashed the image and the phone booted right up. I was about to root when I realized I was on 13 and then came here and saw the PSA about the phone can't be downgraded from 13 to a previous build.
My question (I've searched and found nothing), can I root the Pixel 6a on the official August 13 build with Magisc? Will I need to do anything differently like disable verifications and stuff? Usually I install the latest Magisk (v25.2), patch the boot.img, flash the patchedboot.img and profit.
Thanks in advance.

Yep

Rooting Android 13 works exactly the same way as Android 12. The only thing that would prevent rooting is a locked bootloader. Google hasn't done anything to prevent root (yet).

It worked like a charm. Only thing is I cannot get YoutubeVanced to work on 13. I assume the Youtube Version in 13 is a higher build number and it will not work.

Glad it all worked out! Yeah, the version of YouTube that comes with A13 is higher than the Vanced YouTube version.

Just use the new revanced builder. It's on Reddit. There's even APKs there. You can scan for viruses if you want.

Ok, that was stupid simple. Thanks

What are the advantages or disadvantages of doing that?

Just use the new revanced builder. It's on Reddit. There's even APKs there. You can scan for viruses if you want.

It worked like a charm. Only thing is I cannot get YoutubeVanced to work on 13. I assume the Youtube Version in 13 is a higher build number and it will not work.
Thanks.

Just got a pixel 6a, updated to 13, pulled Vanced Manager off my old phone, and installed it. It's working fine for me

Try using the latest Platform Tools and also try using command prompt instead of PowerShell. Put the patched image in the Platform Tools folder, open up command prompt from that folder and flash.
fastboot flash boot <nameofpatchedimage>

people were reporting that the OTA Beta QPR2 (it was qp something) was having issues with root, but as far as I can tell, its cleared up.
Or just use AICP for the 6a. no issues. Had issues with crdroid

It was QPR2 Beta 1 where root could not be obtained by flashing a patched Pixel 6 boot image, so people had to patch a Pixel 7 boot image to obtain root.
We don't know if this is "cleared up" since QPR2 Beta 2 has not been released yet.

Got it, thanks for clearing it up. I wonder if that's similar to the issues with crdroid rom. Root can't be done via recovery at all, it just errors out. When you patch the boot.img from crdroid's rom, at least for me, I had random crashes and bluetooth flat out didn't work. It would say the app for controlling bluetooth was crashing.

Question [SOLVED] Revanced working?

Did anyone try installing revanced manager on the P7P? Get it working?
I installed the manager and it doesn't seem to see when I patch the youtube apk. It goes through the process of patching the youtube apk. I installed using non-root methods and when I try to open the newly installed apk that revanced patches, it just sits on a black screen.
When I tried installing with the root method, the apk is not visible in the app drawer.
EDIT: Confirmed working, many different ways... Revanced builder using Windows, revanced builder using android, rooted and non-rooted. Rooted using revanced manager. Rooted using magisk module.

I didn't use the manager, I used the builder and that was fine.

Do you have a link to the builder and method you used?
Did you use the android phone method or windows injection method of builder?

I think I found my problem. When using the revanced manager, they don't recommend using dpi related apks or split apks but installing a no dpi apk instead. If you do, they say it causes issues of not loading.

Did it in Windows.
When selecting the YouTube version to use, I scrolled until the first recommended one.

CONFIRMED working with vanced manager, root method with youtube 17.36.37 no dpi version downloaded from 3rd party site.
When using microg non-root method, the apk patched goes to a black screen.

Weird. I am not rooted. Guess the builder just works better.

Agreed, they have been working on the builder much longer than the manager.
And if memory serves me, the windows version doesn't require micro g to install it on the phone. Is that correct or do you need it?

I built it with micro G because it said to but I don't know if it was necessary or not.

I use the nice and easy magisk module:

Didn't realize there was one! Thanks!

Works for me using revanced manager non root

I saw this and was trying to use the builder because it looks like one of the options is to detach the app from the market so it's not constantly updating and needing redone. I've tried several times and keep getting this below. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I'm having problems with this using revanced manager. patches ok and installs ok (root), works fine for a bit, then starts to crash on start. any clues?
magisk module seems to work but includes the "theme" patch which gives it a black theme rather than dark.
edit: also tried non root method with micro g but chromecast doesn't work. I'm stuck.

Download the non dpi version of the app. Don't get the multi APK version.

just for anyone else following this later, I sorted this out. I actually have youtube premiere because it's the only way to have no adverts on the chromecast. so I think some of the no advert patches might have been conflicting. so I just applied the bare minimum patches I wanted, swipe gestures sponsor block and remember resolution, after that it was fine.

I fixed the problem in root version
1/ install ur patch (as root, so u don't need to allow microg )
2/ install as root (close the app without oppening youtube)
3/ go to magisk and configure deny list
4/ do like that in pic and restart ur device
5/ run youtube without any problem
