Alter Installation

Configuration File

To alter the installation you can create the file

.nanodroid-setup

on your device, in one of the following directories

• /sdcard (internal storage)
• /external_sd (TWRP path to SD Card (if any))
• directory containing the zip file
• /data (fallback)

create it manually with the following content for the full package

nanodroid_microg=1
nanodroid_gmscore=0
nanodroid_fdroid=1
nanodroid_apps=1
nanodroid_play=1
nanodroid_overlay=1
nanodroid_zelda=1
nanodroid_mapsv1=1
nanodroid_init=1
nanodroid_gsync=0
nanodroid_swipe=0
nanodroid_forcesystem=0
nanodroid_nlpbackend=3
nanodroid_bash=1
nanodroid_nano=1
nanodroid_utils=1
nanodroid_fonts=1
nanodroid_override=0

the microG package supports the following options (nanodroid_microg is always 1)

nanodroid_gmscore=0
nanodroid_play=1
nanodroid_overlay=0
nanodroid_mapsv1=1
nanodroid_gsync=0
nanodroid_swipe=0
nanodroid_forcesystem=0
nanodroid_nlpbackend=1

the F-Droid (nanodroid_fdroid is always 1) and Bromite WebView pckage supports the following options

nanodroid_forcesystem=0

where 1 means on and 0 means off. If no .nanodroid-setup is found, the default settings will be used (equals to the example above), if your .nanodroid-setup file exists, but is missing entries, those entries will be added, using the default values.

Alternatively you can also use the NanoDroid-SetupWizard package instead of manual creation of the configuration file.
