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 by 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 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 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
      • or manually using pm grant com.google.gms android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE as root on-device
      • likewise pm grant com.android.vending android.permission.FAKE_PACKAGE_SIGNATURE for Phonesky
  • 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 either any or all of (whichever you've choosen to be installed)
    • Déjà Vu, Mozilla, Apple, Radiocell 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
