Then you used Lineage OS for microG or just installed UnifiedNlp with my installer. Either option don’t need the signature spoofing patch that Tingle provides.
Upgrading Lineage OS for microG works fine as reported by above users,
(If using my UnifiedNlp installer, note that I’ve updated it to work on Oreo, but I’ve not released a flashable ZIP yet because not all microG-related things are sufficiently tested, although UnifiedNlp things work just fine.)
The update went superquick. Like, 5 minutes or so and the device was booted.
The status icons are actually larger, yielding me two of these on the screen now. I swapped ‘flashlight’ with ‘airplane’ (I use a dedicated flashlight; less chance to damage the device).
There’s a caffeine timer you can add in the statusbar (???).
You can put the brightness lower than on Nougat and still read the screen very well because the grey and black don’t require much brightness. So I put my adaptive brightness a few nods down.
Since Lineage for microG comes with the official microG apps installed, which are not really maintained right now. (e.g. Apps complain about updating the Play Services)
I came across the NoGooLag-Installer from the telegram group --> https://t.me/NoGoolag
They are using a fork of the original microG repo, which is maintained atm and more up to date - so no more annoying messages to update gps
Sorry no.
the downloadable packs on the github page are rather old.
I uploaded the 2 Editions: https://we.tl/gnWY1CwZwm
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
You can just delete any app in the zip you don’t want before flashing
And if you are dirty flash it - add the permission from the readme to the default-permission.xml, otherwise you might get some signature problems
This is not true (or at least an over-simplification). Let’s discuss that in other thread if you want, I just wanted to note it.
Standard Edition having non-free software jeopardizes the whole point of using microG. Anyway, at least they have a NoGoolag Edition…
BTW, their GitHub is here.
I’m personally quite reluctant to trust those (any) packages right away, though. If you do, be sure you know what you are doing!
I don’t know about 15.1 but on 14.1 you can just grab UNLP backends and Aurora Store from the other included non-material design play store or F-Droid. AFAIK its all this there after 15.1 upgrade. I do get Play Store errors sometimes (since a few months) and still do on 15.1 it seems but that’s about it. The rest all works (on 14.1; not tested 15.1 well enough to say). I’m not sure what I’m missing out on. Google Sync adapters, for example, no idea what that. I don’t want to sync anything with Google. I use DAVDroid instead, and am trying to migrate as much as I can away from Google and other proprietary cloud services and as much as I can from the GPS. If something’s available from F-Droid, I try to use that instead, as long as it doesn’t lag (too much) behind GPS. Clearly failing in some regards (using Netflix and my bank app are both proprietary and Nova Launcher is proprietary as well etc) and sometimes I need root which isn’t cool.
PS: And yeah I’m using the official version from lineage.microg.org, whatever it is called.
