Alter Installation

Configuration File

To alter the installation you can create the file

.nanodroid-setup

on your device, in one of the following directories

• /data/media/0 (internal storage (TWRP))
• /sdcard1 (internal storage (ORANGEFOX))
• /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_fdroid=1
nanodroid_apps=1
nanodroid_play=21
nanodroid_overlay=1
nanodroid_mapsv1=1
nanodroid_init="10_sqlite 20_fstrim 30_logcat 40_external_sd 50_logscleaner"
nanodroid_forcesystem=0
nanodroid_nlpbackend=1000
nanodroid_bash=1
nanodroid_utils="findfs findmnt hexdump lessecho lesskey lsblk lscpu lsipc lslocks lsns ncal whereis"

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

nanodroid_play=21
nanodroid_overlay=0
nanodroid_mapsv1=1
nanodroid_forcesystem=0
nanodroid_nlpbackend=1000

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

nanodroid_forcesystem=0

the Google package supports the following options

nanodroid_gsync=0
nanodroid_swipe=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.
