22.7.20200829 "The Velvet Machine"

Important Note

Starting with this release the Patcher will no longer install the patched services.jar and the companion org.spoofing.apk into the NanoDroid or NanoDroid_microG Magisk Modules, instead it will install both files into it's own NanoDroid_Patcher Magisk Module, which makes it easier to disable or remove the module in case it doesn't properly work.

The one-time downside is, that when upgrading the NanoDroid or NanoDroid-microG Magisk Modules the patched services.jar and org.spoofing.apk will no longer be preserved! So if you intent to upgrade NanoDroid to 22.7 and are on a self-patched ROM, you have to reflash the Patcher in order to retain FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE permission.

This is only required once, because later on the patched file resides in it's own module. System Mode install for the Patcher is of course still supported and will be done if Magisk wasn't found on your device.

20.8.20190504 "Prometheus"

Notes

Full and microG packages up to version 20.7 by default installed Google Play. Starting with version 20.8 the default behaviour is changed and by default Aurora Store and Fake Store are now installed. If you previously ran the Setup Wizard nothing will change. If you don't have your own nanodroid-setup configuration file, you'll notice the different setup.
Bromite System WebView 74.x breaks Google Login. The Bromite System WebView thus stays at version 73.0.3683.107 until the bug is fixed. After logging in to your Google Account with all desired apps, you may update to the latest Bromite System WebView using F-Droid.

Bug Fixes

Full, microG packages

Notes

(Simple) Calendar is now replaced by Simple Calendar Pro. While the app is still Open Source, code available on github and free on F-Droid, the Play Store release is now paid (see this post by the developer), thus the change. NanoDroid-wise the transistion is done in-place, but you will have to re-setup the application.
nanodroid_play setup variable has changed
- old: nanodroid_play=[0|1] (default: nanodroid_play=1)
- new: nanodroid_play=[0|1|2|3][0|1] (default: nanodroid_play=10)
  - 1st element
    - 0 = no App Store
    - 1 = Play Store
    - 2 = Yalp Store
    - 3 = Aurora Store
  - 2nd element
    - 0 = without Fake Store
    - 1 = with Fake Store
- your existing .nanodroid-setup file will be migrated
nanodroid_nlpbackend setup variable has changed

  - 1st element = whether to install Déjà Vu location backend
  - 2nd element = whether to install Ichnaea (Mozilla) location backend
  - 3rd element = whether to install Apple location backend
    - reportedly better coverage in eastern europe than Ichnaea
- your existing .nanodroid-setup file will be migrated

20.0.20181111 "Nimitz"

Important Notes

NanoDroid can no longer be flashed through Magisk Manager!

While flashing through Magisk Manager worked for most users
in most cases, it did not always, if it failed it caused
major headache, thus the change.

The following packages now require flashing through TWRP:
- NanoDroid (Full)
- NanoDroid-microG
- NanoDroid-FDroid
- NanoDroid-BromiteWebView

The following packages always required flashing through TRWP:
- NanoDroid-Uninstaller
- NanoDroid-SetupWizard

The following package can still be flashed trough Magisk Manager:
- NanoDroid-Patcher

Of course installation as Magisk Module is not effected.

- Bromite WebView needs to be installed both as system app and user app, else several apps won't work
  - the module handles system app installation in all cases

  - it now provides arm and arm64 zip binaries as fallback
- all packages: let the installers fails if device has x86/x86_64 architecture (NanoMod only supports arm/arm64)
- full and microG-only packages: if the installers create default configuration files because no user-defined exist, those files get removed after installation
  - this is to ensure the users who don't care about them always get the default configuration

6.0.20170418

Internal Changes
- there's now an F-Droid only variant

- added nanomod.mapsv1 setup variable to nanomod-setup configuration file
- the location of the .nanomod-setup file was changed from /data/media/0/.nanomod-setup to /data/.nanomod-setup

  - this is in order to ensure the file is usable when users have adoptable storage in use
- the location of the .nanomod-overlay file was changed from /data/media/0/.nanomod-overlay to /data/.nanomod-overlay
  - if the old file is found, the installer will move it to the new location
