MinMicroG_releases VS universal-android-debloater

STEP 11 - Download [Magisk Manager App](https://magiskmanager.com/) again, [MiXplorer APK](https://mixplorer.com/), [MinMicroG-Standard-XXX.zip](https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases) and [NanoDroid-patcher-XXX.zip](https://downloads.nanolx.org/NanoDroid/Stable/).

For CrDroid, flash the rom, then flash microG Installer Revived. I also tried flashing (on a different clean rom) MiniMicrog. Same results: GPay, contact sync, and RCS not working.

No, you've got to go beyond other people explaining everything to you and learn some things yourself. Articles and video guides are for lazy people. You need to get a patched Google Play Store apk and install that along with microG, flash this if you want an easy way: https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG_releases/releases/download/2022.02.02/MinMicroG-Standard-2.11.1-20220202153527.zip

If you want to use microG, you can use this installer. If you want the modified Google Play Store, pick the Standard version, otherwise flash the NoGoolag version. Android Auto will probably work with OpenGapps and the Standard MinMicroG option on most devices by default, meaning that you might not have to do anything else.

Stable MinMicroG Releases

There are couple. MinMicrog & Microg revived

Did you install from the releases repo or the CI repo? Because I had bootloop on the latest releases release (lol) too, but using the latest from the CI worked better. Apparently, the releases is lacking behind, see https://github.com/FriendlyNeighborhoodShane/MinMicroG/issues/36#issuecomment-1188563391

This tool already exists, comes with a UI for ease of use.

try using https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater to see if it's safe to uninstalled/disabled or not

The only way is by using adb. There is a nice GUI available these days called Universal Android Debloater. Follow instructions and you will be fine. Carefully read descriptions of packages when available. https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater

Use UAD

Root is unlikely but you could use https://github.com/0x192/universal-android-debloater or adb comands to remove unwanted apps https://www.makeuseof.com/uninstall-android-app-adb-system-apps-bloatware/

For my money, less is more. Minimalist ROMs like LineageOS are a must-have, and when it's not available then I use Android Debloater[0]. Usually I bounce all the unnecessary Google/OEM services and install better alternatives like Newpipe for YouTube and Firefox instead of Chrome. Media apps will be a matter of opinion, but I'm perfectly content with VLC. I do syncing with Syncthing, which is perfect if you spend all your time on the same network.

Besides that though, I don't do a whole lot. The Android 12 UI colors are nice to play with, but I don't think there are any game-changing tips that will blow your mind. Maybe set up Termux so you can do programming on the side?
