microg_installer_revived VS Magisk

Here you go

i usually flash it via magisk https://github.com/nift4/microg_installer_revived

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.

My device is Sony Xperia 10 IV XQ-CC54, bootloader unlocked, running the latest Treble Droid LineageOS GSI with MicroG installed through MicroG Installer Revived.

Honestly it was simpler than I imagined. It works even on Android 13 ROMs and I decided to try the flashable version of microG instead of installing the apps manually like I always did since the ROM I settled on refused to even install the GmsCore manually and there was really no other option after that. To my surprise several apps I've had trouble with not only worked flawlessly after the whole ordeal, they don't even show the missing Google Play Services error message anymore and neither do any other apps which rely on Google Play Services. Here's what I used: https://github.com/nift4/microg_installer_revived

Now you got another 2 options for microg modules: Microg installer revived https://github.com/nift4/microg_installer_revived

Magisk (version 26.4): The Magic Mask

Magisk (version 26400): Companion app for Magisk

At this point download locally the Magisk APK onto your computer found here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases. Reboot your Tab Mini C by holding the power button until you see the power come back on and the default power on screen begin loading. Once it has fully booted copy the Magisk APK, `boot_a.bin`, and `boot_b.bin` files via USB. Make certain to have backups of the `boot_a.bin` and `boot_b.bin` files in case something goes wrong (such as you bricking your device) and you need the old firmware. Install the Magisk APK. For the rest of this we will be following a summarized version of the instructions here: "https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html". Once the Magisk app is installed open it and press the "Install" button. Then click "Select and Patch a File" and select `boot_a.bin` then `boot_b.bin` files to install Magisk on both. At this point one should rename them to be `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` based on which one Magisk patched to make it easier for you. At this point transfer `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` back to the main computer over USB. Open up QFIL and once again run `adb reboot edl`. FAIRLY QUICKLY to avoid errors click the "Select Port" button and click the USB port which the Tab Mini C is plugged into and then click OK. Still quickly click "Tools" -> "Partition Manager" and then click OK on the popup. Within the partition manager find `boot_a` and `boot_b`. For each individually right click on the partition and then click "Manage Partition Data". Then click "Load Image" and point to the corresponding `magisk_patched-boot_a.img` and `magisk_patched-boot_b.img` depending on which partition you're patching. Once both of them are patched, quit out of QFIL. Force the reboot of the device by holding down the power button. Open the Magisk app and click on "Install" at which point their should be a new option "Direct Install". Use that to install directly onto the device after which it should give you the option to reboot. Reboot it and you now have a wonderfully rooted device. Happy reading
