# NanoDroid

NanoDroid is a installer for various OpenSource related things, most noticably microG and F-Droid. It supports direct /system installation, both devices with or without A/B partition scheme are supported, aswell as Magisk Mode (module) installation. It also includes several tools (eg. GNU Bash, GNU Nano, more), scripts, fonts, sounds and additional features (system debloating, init scripts, automatic logcat creation), aswell as a companion F-Droid Repository.

Furthermore it allows the user to do fine-graded installations using configuration files, which allow to choose what to install, or if several alternatives are available, which of them.

In order for full microG experience NanoDroid contains a modified Play Store which allows (in-)app-purchases with microG, which would normally not be possible. It also tries to remove all previously installed GApps on it's own. For ROMs without builtin signature spoofing support NanoDroid includes an on-device Patcher which tries to patch your ROM from TWRP.

Versions until 15.1 were called **NanoMod**, starting with 16.0 they're called **NanoDroid**.

* Beta Downloads [> Nanolx](https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Beta)

### SHA256 Checksum and GPG Signature

Since version 18.3.1 all releases hosted on nanolx.org contain a SHA256 checksum and GPG signature to check their validity. AFH does provide the SHA256 checksum on the downloads summary page, but does not allow to upload a GPG signature.

You can obtain the public part of my GPG key from:

* download the public key from [photonic.asc](https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/photonic.asc)
  * import it using `gpg --import photonic.asc`
* download and import using `gpg` from pgp.mit.edu:
  * `gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv B0ABCE622A077B584B81339E340FD70EFFC52B26`

You can verify the checksum and signature like:

```
gpg --verify NanoDroid-19.0.20181027.zip.sha256.sig
sha256sum -c NanoDroid-19.0.20181027.zip.sha256
```

Additionally you may want to ensure the signing date is close to the release date.

### Snapshots

You can create snapshots from this repository.

* on GNU/Linux, MacOS or *BSD clone this repository and use the provided `build-package` script like
  * download required files:
     * `build-package pull` to download all required apks and libraries for the Full, microG and F-Droid packages
  * build packages:
     * `build-package full` to create the Full package
     * `build-package microg` to create the microG only package
     * `build-package fdroid` to create the F-Droid only package
     * `build-package patcher` to create the on-device framework-patcher package
     * `build-package uninstaller` to create the uninstaller package
     * `build-package setupwizard` to create the Setup Wizard package
     * `build-package bromitewebview` to create the Bromite WebView package
     * `build-package all` to create all packages at once
  * update required files:
     * `build-package u-microg` to update microG
     * `build-package u-fdroid` to update F-Droid
     * `build-package u-apps` to update (most) applications
     * `build-package u-swipe` to update swipe libraries
     * `build-package u-gsync` to update Google Sync Adapters
     * `build-package u-bromite` to update Bromite WebView
     * `build-package pull` to update/re-download everything

for apks downloaded from F-Droid repositories or from APK Mirror, `build-package` checks the SHA256 hash.

The `build-package` script additionally supports the following parameters:

* `check` check if all files were properly downloaded
* `clean` remove any untracked files from the repo (e. g. from `build-package pull`)
* `dalvik [.jar]` prepare a jar file for use with DalvikVM (requires Android SDK)
* `ver [version] [date]` change project version
* `bump` increment Magisk module version by 1

The following applications are custom builds (see [F-Droid Repository](#f-droid-repository) below):

* Play Store (reason: re-signed and modified to support (in-)app-purchases with microG GmsCore)
* microG GmsCore (reason: built with additions)
* microG DroidGuard Helper (reason: built with fix for non 32bit arm devices failing SafetyNet attestation)
* OmniJAWS (reason: no binary built outside of OmniROM available)
* MPV (reason: infrequent updates)
* OpenLauncher (reason: infrequent updates)

Also `build-package` looks if the configuration files

* `.nanodroid-setup`
* `.nanodroid-apps`
* `.nanodroid-overlay`

exist in the `data` directory of the repository, if so, those files are used when creating packages instead of the default ones from the `doc` directory.

See the documentation below for more information on those files and what they do.

## Supported Android Versions

NanoDroid officially supports the following Android versions:

* 4.4 / SDK 19 (KitKat)

You'll find the files in

* /data/adb/MODID_log_INSTALLDATE
* /data/adb/MODID_twrp_INSTALLDATE

where MODID is either NanoDroid, NanoDroid_microG or NanoDroid_FDroid. INSTALLDATE is the date of installation in %Y%m%D_%H.%M.%S format (eg: 20180709_20.34.14), **Note: when installing through Magisk Manager INSTALLDATE might be in UTC +0000, instead of your local time offset!**

In case of installation errors, issues or questions provide theese files in your report for easier debugging.

#### Parallel Installations

Since the microG and F-Droid packages are subsets of the Full NanoDroid package, they can't be installed alongside.

The microG and F-Droid packages however can be installed in parallel, as they complement each other.

## Installation

### Alter Installation

NanoDroid supports altering the installation settings to a wide degree.

Full [> Details](doc/AlterInstallation.md) on altering installation manually, or use the Setup Wizard (if you've got an arm/arm64 device).

### Installation Process

#### NanoDroid

* Use Setup Wizard to create configuration files (if you've got an arm/arm64 device), or create manually (see above)
* Download pre-built zip or create one from this repository

##### Installing from scratch

This is the recommended way.

* perform full wipe (/system, /data, /cache, Dalvik/ART cache)
  * recommended, but not required
* install desired ROM
  * make sure it does **not** include GApps if you want to use microG
     * NanoDroid tries to get rid of GApps on it's own, but it may not always work, try without any warranty
* install **Magisk**
  * recommended, but not required
  * if **Magisk** is installed, NanoDroid will be installed as Magisk-Module, else it will install into `/system` directly
  * if you want to use microG make sure the ROM is either pre-patched with signature spoofing support or **deoxeded** so you can patch yourself [see here](doc/DeodexServices.md)
     * you can use the Patcher package to de-odex (up to Android 8.1) and/or patch services.jar (up to Android 9.0)
* install desired Kernel (if any)
* install **NanoDroid**
* reboot into ROM
* optional, but recommended, setup the [F-Droid repository](#f-droid-repository)

##### Upgrade / Installing on a clean ROM

When upgrading NanoDroid or installing on a known clean ROM (read: GApps free), you may also just

* install **Magisk**
  * recommended, but not required
  * if **Magisk** is installed, NanoDroid will be installed as Magisk-Module, else it will install into `/system` directly
* install **NanoDroid**
  * from either Magisk Manager or TWRP, doesn't matter
* reboot

#### microG

##### Signature Spoofing Support

For **microG** to work, your ROM needs to have signature spoofing enabled (or a **deodexed** ROM to patch yourself).

If your ROM does **not** have signature spoofing support, you can manually patch it either
  * flashing the on-device Patcher zip
     * it also installs an addon.d script that auto re-patches the ROM upon update

If your ROM is **odexed** read [this instructions](doc/DeodexServices.md) on how to deodex services.jar manually

The Patcher supports installing the patched `services.jar` into the following locations:
  * NanoDroid Magisk Module
  * NanoDroid-microG Magisk Module
  * directly into `/system`

So you can use it regardless whether you're using NanoDroid or not.

##### microG Setup

Once your ROM supports signature spoofing, you need to setup microG like this
  * go into **microG settings** and set up everything like:
     * check results in **Self-Check**, grant missing permissions (by tapping on them)
         * especially the **Battery Optimization** item
         * if Phonesky (= Fake Store or Play Store) lacks signature spoofing permissions head to Settings / Apps / Permissions / Signature Spoofing and grant it
     * enable **Google device registration**
     * enable **Google Cloud Messaging** (only if you want to receive push messages from your applications)
     * enable **Google SafetyNet** (required for applications that utilize SafetyNet, for example Pokémon GO, ...)
     * in **UnifiedNlp Settings** choose
         * **Déjà Vu** and/or **Mozilla** as Geolocation backend
         * **Nominatim** as Address lockup backend
     * after everything is done, reboot
     * if you installed **Play Store** open it, setup account and install your apps

## Issues

List of known issues

### General

* Applications/SafetyNet check complain with `Google Play Services are missing`
  * you did not
      * [setup microG](#microg-setup) (or did not reboot afterwards)
      * grant signature spoofing permission to Fake Store or Play Store
         * go to Settings / Apps / Permissions / Signature Spoofing and grant it
      * install either Fake Store or Play Store
* Play Store giving error RH-01
  * ensure you rebooted after [microG setup](#microg-setup)
  * ensure Play Store has signature spoofing permission
      * go to Settings / Apps / Permissions / Signature Spoofing and grant it
  * force close Play Store and open it again
* Apps are not receiving Push messages
  * go to microG Settings / Google Cloud Messaging and check if it is connected
  * ensure you don't have an adblocker blocking the domain `mtalk.google.com` it is required for GCM to work
  * when using Titanium Backup first install the app only (without data) and start it, this will register the app, after that you can restore the data using Titanium Backup
  * if an app is not shown as registered in microG Settings / Google Cloud Messaging, try uninstalling and re-installing it
  * when restoring the ROM from a TWRP backup GCM is often broken, no workaround currently known, except uninstalling and re-installing the apps
* Battery Drain
  * microG fails to register applications to GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) if they were installed **before** microG, but the apps keep trying to register and that causes the battery drain, all apps installed **after** microG are properly registered, to fix the battery drain either
     * do a clean flash of your ROM (, Magisk) and NanoDroid and install your apps after microG setup
     * uninstall and re-install all your applications (backup application data if required)
* microG lacks features
  * if you use AppOps, PrivacyGuard or the like you have to grant microG GmsCore **all** permissions, if you prevent some permissions, some apps or features might not work as expected or not at all. Note: some APIs/features are stubs in microG GmsCore, meaning they exist that apps don't complain, but they do nothing - thus blocking microG GmsCore is pretty much of no benefit.

### System Mode installation only
