LineageOS 21.0 - microG edition for bramble

Built on 2023.11.09
(Oct. Security Patch - gonna sort things out first before updating my local source again)

PS. Be ready for lack of builtin customization and feature!
PPS. Default launcher now has the non-removable ugly search bar at first page and it also messes with your current icon arrangement/order.

LineageOS adds internal support for microG


As of February 25th 2024, LineageOS has added internal support for application signature spoofing, a critical pre-requisite for full microG functionality. LineageOS ROM images built after that date will include this new feature.

This means that many people will no longer have to root their device and install tools like Xposed/LSposed to make their ROMs compatible with microG. This is a win for both security/stability as well as user friendliness, as there is no longer any need for any settings/permissions in this implementation. The ROM will “just work” with core modules released by the microG project.

Other than application signature spoofing hacks, microG installation tasks remain as before. Please see our “installation” group note for a general overview and links to recommended installation tools.



~~~~~

This is huge news for the microG project, as LineageOS is the largest and most famous custom Android ROM project in the world.

LOS is also used as the foundation for a large percentage of other custom android ROMs as well. Which means that almost every one of those ROMs will also now include microG support by default, without any extra effort on their part.

The impact of this on the custom ROM community cannot be overstated: it is a “watershed moment”.

Many in the FOSS community have gotten increasingly frustrated with Google’s progressive crippling of the base FOSS version of android “AOSP”, and the migration of many important core functions which used to be included with AOSP into proprietary, closed-source Google apps and frameworks instead.

This issue was one of the founding objectives of the microG project: give control back to the user and let them take advantage of the open-source foundation of android without forcing them to use a proprietary and snoopery vendor-locked version of the OS instead, just to get basic functionality like push messaging and Play Store app compatibility.

At this point we believe that the existing “LineageOS for microG” project will continue with their project as it is a “works out of the box” solution that also bundles some FOSS app store tools.

As always, if you have any questions about how to install microG on your device, please see our “installation” group note and if you have any further questions feel free to ask in group.



Thanks to @Kurt_n for the initial news on the LOS merge

Here’s a Reddit discussion on the change:



https://www.reddit.com/r/LineageOS/comments/1b11zex/los_has_added_internal_microg_support/

And my stance would still be the same,
I'll keep providing updates as long as I still use this phone :)

It turns out the update of this month is so huge that things broke, I managed to get a almost-vanilla build to boot but that doesn't have microG integrated, after trying to work on all the modifications, the whole thing breaks, anyway, wish me luck :/

Test build, hopefully microG works fine I confirmed that microG works fine with new patch from LOS, but note that ThemePicker is nuked for now as I couldn't get it fixed even with new patch on gerrit
