microg_installer_revived VS FakeGApps

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

Install FakeGapps apk. Install Displax forked SafetyNet Fix Magisk module this version (2.4 version can't pass CTS);

FakeGapps: Signature spoofing for MicroG as an Xposed module

fakegapps exists if one plans to root. I combine it with microg revived

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.

Install FakeGapps (v2 for Andrdoid 12) and reboot; Self-Check in microG Settings app should show all check marks.

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.

I tried using LSPosed with this fork of FakeGApps but it didn't work.

When I try to use SmaliPatcher, my phone fails to boot 3 times and them goes to TWRP, so I installed LSPosed and am using this fork of the FakeGApps Xposed module: https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps/releases

Install LPSosed module FakeGapps whew-inc fork (https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps/releases)
