MagicGapps (by VR25 @ xda)

This is a simple zip to install your regular OpenGapps package as a Magisk module. All instructions are in readme.md inside the zip.

This helps if you urgently, really, really need to flash Gapps as this is systemless. Quick install, quick bye-bye ( just uninstall the module.)

Basically, put your OpenGapps zip in the same directory as this zip and then flash from recovery.

NOTE: VR25 seems to be busy and the latest version in the Magisk repo has a big fat bug, so this is the latest version fixed by me. It worked on my device, cannot guarantee on yours.

#FAQ


🍭 What is this?
The Great Imperial Interdimensional Multiversal Holy Land of NoGoolag


🍭 What do we want?
More privacy


🍭 How do we get it?
Avoiding evil malware like Gapps
https://news.1rj.ru/str/NoGoolag/76


🍭 Why use MicroG ?
In case some buggy app requires gapps, otherwise drop it.
It's an opensource alternative to Gapps. it replaces Google Play Services and prevents Google from getting most of your precious data.
Some apps will crash or complain if you lack some gapps components as MicroG is a WIP. Deal with it.


🍭 Does #pif or SlaveryNet work with microg?
Sometimes, like with gapps, search for solutions in your device groups or forums.
If it doesn't, drop dependent services or get a cheap companion phone for them.

🍭 Does [miscellaneous google app] work?
Most of them do, keep, documents, translator...
But we try to replace them for alternatives like:

🍭 Does Google Search / Assistant work?
Some got it working by restoring its app data.
These Google apps work by learning everything about you.
MicroG aims to let Google learn nothing about you.

As an alternative to assistant, You could check out this app for a simple online text search:

Just Search https://f-droid.org/app/co.pxhouse.sas


🍭 Does Play Store work?
Yes. For purchases use a modified playstore from the many MicroG installers.


🍭 But I get Error RH-01 in Playstore
Try this:
- Wipe play data and log out of all google accounts
- Login through settings
- Wait
Now check PlayStore. Sometimes PlayStore takes time to recognise the account. If error isn't solved, you can keep force closing the app, clearing its data, rebooting, go walk the dog, or use the other alternatives to PlayStore.


🍭 Does Gmail app work?
Some people claim it does work if you wipe it and give all permissions to it.
You can still use gmail from other email apps or web browser.


🍭 Does Google Wear work?
No, not yet.

https://www.bountysource.coAndm/issues/6460438-wishlist-com-google-android-gms-wearable


🍭 Does Google Drive work?
Yes, although access to it from other apps (like WhatsApp gdrive backups) probably doesn't.


🍭 Does Google Chrome sync work?
No.


🍭 Does Play Games work?
No. Not every game requires it, some just show a notification, but for the problematic ones, you can try to backup and restore those games from a Gapps device with Titanium backup or OandbackupX.
Or login with a Fakebook account.

Support for official Google Play Games apk

🍭 Does Google Photos backup work?
No. The app to view and edit photos should work. What doesn't work fortunately is uploading your personal photos, lowering quality, and giving your biometric data to evil Google, govs and agencies.


🍭 How to get MicroG
Either manually get the APKs, install them and give all permissions or use one of the many installers here:

MicroG Installers:

Just installing the microg components as user apps will partially function but you will not get full functionality without the main components installed as system apps, like the location components.

There are a few 3rd-party installers that handle that and set all the required permissions etc.
These are the ones generally recommended
*Note: currently all installers use the official microg version, so you can update it from its F-Droid repository.

How much info is Google getting from your phone?

This is the question asked by a journalist in a FoxNews report; then they went around the town with two smartphones, without SIM, no data during travel, one even in airplane mode, and they analysed all the traffic that got sent to Google. And the result is just amazing...

MinMicroG Installer

By MOVZX and FatherJony and FriendlyNeighborhoodShane

GitHub https://github.com/NoGooLag

MicroG Support Group: https://news.1rj.ru/str/joinchat/FyFlS0X2D7f6YNvdxhEsfw

This is a simple MicroG installer that only installs the minimum basics. It can install MicroG into your system partition or as a Magisk module. It supports virtually all mobile architectures (arm/64, x86/64, mips/64) and fully supports KitKat and above. It can also (mostly) support much older versions, but sync adapters and some location providers won't work. It can even uninstall itself from your device, just rename it and flash it again.

It contains an unofficial fork of MicroG (GMSCore, GSFProxy, Droidguard) (Compiled by MOVZX) with bumped version numbers so that apps don't complain about updating play.

The things included in the Standard Edition zip are:
-MicroG (GMSCore, GSFProxy, Droidguard)
-Google Play store (modded by Setialpha)
-UNLP backends (Dejá vu, LocalGSM, LocalWiFi, Mozilla, Nominatim)
-FDroid with privileged extension
-Swype libs for AOSP keyboard
-Some Google DRM jars
-Google Sync adapters for KK to O
-Permission files for all of this
-An addon.d file to backup/restore everything on a rom flash

The things included in the NoGoolag Edition zip are:
-MicroG (GMSCore, GSFProxy, Droidguard)
-FakeStore
-Aurora Store
-FDroid with privileged extension
-UNLP backends (Dejá vu, LocalGSM, LocalWiFi, Mozilla, Nominatim)
-Permission files for all of this
-An addon.d file to backup/restore everything on a rom flash

The zip debloats 3 Google apps from your phone (GmsCore, GoogleServicesFramework, Phonesky and their MicroG counterparts) and 4 NLP providers. In Magisk mode, they won't be removed from system, and if you uninstall the pack, they'll come back. If you install in system, the debloated stuff will be stored in internal-storage/MinMicroG/Backup.
WARNING: This zip does not and never will debloat anything else because that is the minimum coming in MicroG's way. I have had my own share of PTSD with debloating. I believe (through guesswork) that it should work even on flashes over gapped ROMs, but don't take my word for it. Debloat before you flash.

For support:
If you flashed through recovery, provide its logs.
If you used Magisk Manager, provide its logs.

How to control the zip by changing its name:
NOTE: Control by name is not possible in magisk manager, since it copies the zip to a cache directory and renames it install.zip. This is unavoidable behaviour.

- Add 'system' to its filename to force it to install/uninstall from system. Otherwise, it looks for magisk, and if not found, installs to system. Obviously, if you flash it through Magisk manager, you want to install it to Magisk. If not, you have to flash through recovery.

- Add 'uninstall' to its filename to uninstall it from your device, whether in magisk mode or system mode. If you use Magisk Manager, your preferred method of uninstallation is from there.

Just rename it and flash it again for the intended effect.

NOTE:
-MicroG showing wrong signature for Phonesky? Lemme guess... System mode? Dirty flashed? Go to shell and type (ofcourse with su):
pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_PERMISSION
-Dirty flashing not recommended. you'll mess up all your permissions and may even cause conflicts in app data, leading to crashes.
The maker does not support or endorse dirty flashing. It will harm you and your loved ones. Don't come complaining to me.

Thanks to @osm0sis for the base magisk/recovery code and inspiration and guidance on the majority of the stuff in here. You're awesome.
Thanks to @Setialpha, the creator of NanoDroid, and ale5000 for the lib installation code and permissions code.

A feature packed AOSP-based ROM while still being lightweight and easy to use. Some of the features are a system-wide dark mode and customizations. AOSDP has a big focus on privacy, including FOSS apps and NO Google binaries. We made it as secure as possible by keeping it Google-less. MicroG and Substratum are also fully supported.

Go in @aosdpx to vote for the features/apps you want to see in the Rom. You can also join the official discussion group of the Rom in there.
