MicroG and SafetyNet

Did you follow this advice:

It’s still roughly the same approach. With a few gotchas, e.g.:

  • At the time I tried, microG only properly installed with the (slightly older) version of F-Droid that you can obtain when installing the Jolla official Android support. Thus the exact order of operations is:

    • Install Jolla’s official Support for Android Apps.
    • At the end of the installation procedure, Jolla’s installer lets you pick an app store between FDroid, Aptoid, and I forgot what else. Pick FDroid.
    • DO NOT update FDroid.
    • install microG (and plugins you might need like Nominatim) with the old version of FDroid that came with Jolla’s installer.
    • Go back in FDroid, check that microG is marked as “installed” (i.e.: FDroid properly recognises that it has installed FDroid).
    • NOW you can update FDroid from within itself.
    • Check again that FDroid still detect microG as being installed by itself.
    • Add microG to the blacklist of Aurora (even if you have checked the option to auto filter out FDroid applications from Aurora).
  • For the signature spoofing:

    instead of the old way in the permission list.

  • There’s a simpler way to access the android settings, too:
    there a patch called “show android settings” for patchmanager.
