### 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
* first step:
* `build-package pull` to download all required apks for Full, microG and F-Droid package
* second step:
* `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 all` to create all packages at once
* third step:
* `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 pull` to update/re-download everything
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
for apks downloaded from F-Droid or microG repository 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
* `ver [version] [date]` change project version
* `bump` increment Magisk module version by 1
2018-03-19 16:53:02 +00:00
The following applications are custom builds:
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
* Play Store (reason: re-signed and modified to support (in-)app-purchases with microG GmsCore)
2018-03-15 16:09:51 +00:00
* [Download Link ](https://www.nanolx.org/apk/Phonesky.apk )
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
* Fake Store (reason: built with CHECK_LICENSE permission)
2018-03-15 16:09:51 +00:00
* [Download Link ](https://www.nanolx.org/apk/FakeStore.apk )
2018-07-31 18:42:33 +00:00
* microG GmsCore (reason: built with more recent spoofed Play Services Version, more)
* [Download Link ](https://www.nanolx.org/apk/GmsCore.apk )
* microG DroidGuard Helper (reason: built with fix for non 32bit arm devices failing SafetyNet attestation)
* [Download Link ](https://www.nanolx.org/apk/DroidGuard.apk )
2018-04-08 18:08:50 +00:00
* MPV (reason: infrequent updates, merge-requests included)
2018-03-18 10:41:45 +00:00
* [Download Link ](https://www.nanolx.org/apk/MPV.apk )
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
2018-03-19 16:53:02 +00:00
Also `build-package` looks if the configuration files
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
* `.nanodroid-setup`
* `.nanodroid-apps`
* `.nanodroid-overlay`
2018-01-25 18:29:31 +00:00
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.
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
See the documentation below for more information on those files and what they do.

## Installation
### Alter Installation
2018-03-19 16:53:02 +00:00
NanoDroid supports altering the installation settings to a wide degree.
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
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
2018-07-31 18:34:55 +00:00
##### Installing from scratch
This is the recommended way.
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
* 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
2018-07-31 18:34:55 +00:00
* NanoDroid tries to get rid of GApps on it's own, but it may not always work, try without any warranty
2018-01-23 20:11:52 +00:00
* either pre-patched with signature spoofing support or **deoxeded** so you can patch yourself (instructions follow)
* 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 desired Kernel (if any)
* install **NanoDroid**
* reboot into ROM
2018-07-31 18:34:55 +00:00
###### 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
* running the `framework-patcher` script
* use from your PC or laptop while your device is in TWRP. This shell script for GNU Bash (and compatible shells) works on unixoid operating systems like GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOS. It automizes the process of downloading Haystack [> GitHub ](https://github.com/Lanchon/haystack ), pulling files from phone, patching and installing the modified `services.jar` on the device.
Both patchers support installing the patched `services.jar` into the following locations:
* NanoDroid Magisk Module
* NanoDroid-microG Magisk Module
* directly into `/system`
So you can use them 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
* 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, ...)
* '...' menu > set to use the **Official Server**
* in **UnifiedNlp Settings** choose

* **Déjà Vu** and/or **Mozilla** as Geolocation backend

* **Nominatim** as Address lockup backend
* after everything is done, reboot
* go to **Play Store** , setup account and install your apps

## Issues
List of known issues
* SafetyNet check fails with `Google Play Services not available`
* you did not setup microG (or did not reboot afterwards)
* 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.
