    Full setup: 1. Flash crDroid through recovery 2. Flash Magisk through recovery (change filename from Magisk-v25.2.apk to Magisk-v25.2.zip to make it flash'eable) 3. Boot into Android 4. You should have Magisk icon in drawer, open it, it will download client (if not, you can just install Magisk-v25.2.apk) 5. In Magisk go to settings (top right icon) and enable 'Zygisk' option 6. Then in Magisk go to Modules tab, click top button 'Install from storage' - there install microG_Installer_Revived.zip and LSPosed-(...)-zygisk-release.zip (have to be zygisk version) 7. Also install FakeGapps.apk like regular app 8. Reboot 9. Popup will came out that ask you to add shortcut icon to desktop for LSPosed, just add it and open it 10. In LSPosed go to second tab (Modules) and you should have FakeGapps on the list, enter it and check if it's enabled. If not - enable it and restart.
  • microG + SafetyNet on LineageOS [Guide]

    Install FakeGapps (v2 for Andrdoid 12) and reboot; Self-Check in microG Settings app should show all check marks.
  • Install microG + LineageOS
    7 projects | /r/MicroG | 6 Jun 2022
    That is an overkill. A working way of installing microG on a LineageOS which is not patched for it is to root with Magisk and enable Zygisk in its options, get microG installer revived and Zygisk - LSPosed Magisk modules (both available from FoxMMM too), then install FakeGapps (v2 for Andrdoid 12) and reboot. I've done this on LineageOS 19.1 and microG Settings shows all check marks.
