What is MicroG ?
MicroG is a small pakage that emulates gapps on your phone. Its very small in weight. Its works same as google play service and allow apps to work on it. MicroG does not consume that much*battery, RAM and storage*(compared to gapps). And its doesn't harm you're device any way
In simple word its a smaller version of gapps(pico)
Requirement :-
1)Twrp installed
2)U need a custom rom which supports "android signature spoofing"
Where to find this option:-
normally u find this option in 1)developer option or
2)apps > permission or
3)in personalization/configuration.
If u didn't that means your rom probably not support signature spoofing
Roms that supports signature spoofing :-
1)halogen os or xos (tested)
2)Nitrogen os(tested)
3)Omni rom
4)crdroid
And many more. Search yourself in xda
Installation :-
I made a twrp flasheble zip for install this easily
1) clean flash your current rom and then flash microG zip file (don't flash any type of gapps)
2) after boot completed go to phone setting and enable signature spoofing
3)after that check your app drawer u will find a new app called "microG setting"
5)open that app, tap on "self check" then enable first 3 options in "signature spoofing section" and then go down, in" system" section enable battery otimization
6) go back and enable "google device registration" , "google cloud massaging" , "google safetynet"
7) in "google safetynet" tap on three dot menu and tap on advanced select first option "use official server"
That's it u done that now enjoy gapps less system
Disclaimer :-
Micro-g is just a play service emulator so its may or may not work with all app some app might get crashed, but believe me its working just fine with our daily used apps
still use it at your own risk
Don't blame me if anything goes wrong
Credits:-
Thanks to microG devs
Note:
1)Google play store is included so don't worry about that
2)its not kenzo specific it should work on other device too
Is there anyway to uninstall gapps without clean flash?? I searched the net and nothing came up

You can delete all google apps using any "root app uninstaller" but clean flash is recommended to use this microG, otherwise u might get forcestop issue

I am waiting for the next stable build, didn't try 19th. I don't play any games, if you want i can try the game you name. But apps which rely on play services are working fine. Without gapps microsoft authenticator doesn't even run, with microG it works.

I dont play any games either...but just wanted to know if i wanted to ever play, or my kida, because someone said it doesnt work with microG.
I will try later today though...are their much better with RAM compared to pico gapps etc.?
Thank you
Works nice on latest 21/04 NOS
Just wondering if it persists after dirty flash or need to do this every time?
Are contact sync and gmail sync work?
Dirty flashed 22/04 NOS + @subwof microG.zip, works fine aswell
I hope you will keep maintaining this
Btw, I get 1000-1300MB free with it on 2GB ..with open gapps or dynamic I always got 700-900 free lately :/
I dont use sync, so cant tell.
I BLAME YOU xD

This should give few ideas which google apps work with MicroG....
https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/4jkppf/list_of_google_apps_that_work_with_microg_the/
As for contact sync please post it on MicroG xda forums.....They will have more idea than we have?
I use MicroG on Sony Xperia mini pro(2011) and Redmi 1s & it works great as I only use playstore for updating apps , nothing more. As for maps, navigation I use Mozilla backend module and Google maps work fine with it
Biggest advantage of MicroG is small size with extreme battery friendly nature.
Google play service is the most battery hog and also reduces a lot of ram

There is Tingle, Needle or Haystack for this.
Slimrom didn't support spoofing, so I used a magisk module named nanomod, however the included play store does not seem to work, can't connect to servers :s

I had the same error after following the instructions. On another forum there was a suggestion to download 1Mobile Market APK by searching it on google. THis worked for me. After downloading google play services the Google play store was able to download apps. I did need to update Google Play services through the play store but after that my Play store app is working like any other android device. Be careful though there are some virus type apps on the 1Mobile Market app.
Recap:
Error when downloading apps through play store.
Download APK for 1Mobile Market

Quick tip for better performance, deactivate sync for all the Google account services you don't use or need. I drastically improved performance on my Remix OS installation by deactiving photo sync, my photo collection is huge! When I stoped it, the USB stick stopped constantly flashing.

I followed the instructions and it worked great however, after I reboot and went back in, Play Store would not login/load. It keep telling me that there's an error retrieving information from server. It is connected to WiFi fine. I've tried all the troubleshooting steps: Clear Cache (and Data) for Google Play Store, Play Services, Play Service Framework and I've even tried to Uninstall Updates for Google Play Store but still has the same problem after several reboots.

Hello all,
I hate to ask for help but I need to ask in this situation.
Could someone with Play Store working see if Star Wars Commander is available from the Play Store?
Some apps are incompatible with certain devices & I need to know if Star Wars Commander works with Remix OS 2.0
Reasoning: Im going to buy an all in one PC with touchscreen to run Remix. However, I don't have anything to try it on before I buy the PC, & want to ensure Star Wars Commander works before I spend my $.
Thank you in advance someone!

It's pretty straightforward, there are several apps that do this. You can search in Baidu.com for Gapps and the apk will show up. Install it, press the big button and there you go. You can also find several tutorials in Youtube, if you don't know how the app looks like.
Alternatively, here's another tutorial with a different app: http://en.miui.com/thread-17910-1-1.html
somehow i'm able to install Gapps using the installer, i don't know what i did to fix it, anyway its all good now, btw the link you gave is for device that is not bootloader locked
The minimum set of Gapps are very easy to install with the help of this tiny online installer. It's in Chinese, but it's intuitive.

yeah, but now i'd like to know how can i set google playstore as a default app store instead of Mi app store

Same here first time, but removed Google*, installed them again and it started working. I rebooted after Google login, Xunlei engine was disabled and download limit set to Unlimited.
it seem that after you login to playstore, you need to wait for a while for it to sync in order for you to be able to download apps, otherwise you'll get unable to contact server error message

the google installer worked to install the apps but they couldn't establish a connection to the servers. I had to restore my playstore and google apps from a titanium backup file I had and then it would work. So anyone not able to get on google apps try installing old titanium backups, it may work.
One thing to note with all of these is sometimes it just needs time.
After all, the play services and framework often have to register with Google and also update themselves (you're not guaranteed to get the most up to date version for each even with the installer).
I installed mine and they registered fine. But as soon as I tried to download an app from the play store I got weird errors.
Left it a day and boom, worked fine.
I am not responsible for any damage to your phone.
Read before downloading or posting in the thread.
Proceed with caution if you have no experience.
This is an initial project to get NoPlayService and NoGoogleServiceFramework on on hydrogenOS ROM, where Play Services is not available. If you use your phone without GAPPS.
For issues of autonomy: The framework and Google Play Services are known to consume huge resources. What's more to the basic consumption of these apps will be added various bugs that prevent standby phone.
This system should make last for long the battery, I'm still testing
Prerequisite:
1. You need a ROM that supports signature faking;
2. I have tried this procedure on H2OS only;
3. I do not know if it works on other ROM;
4. The installation does not require any modification of the /system partition;
5. Make a nandroid backup first;
6. You need Google Play Store only.microG Services Framework Proxy;
7. I recommend using Titanium backup (and make a backup of your applications before).
Downloads:
1. microG Services Core and microG Services Framework Proxy from here;
2. GooglePlayStore from here;
3. Lucky Patcher v6.1.7 here;
4. Any file explorer flashable zip (I 've used this for easier to installation apk I did not know if base ROM had this);
5. Titanium backup from here
Put everything in a folder storage
Instructions and download:
1. Download and install ROM without Gapps H2OS here follow the instructions, you can flash H2OS_MM_DBLOATR+SuperSU.zip too. (note important without Gapps);
2. Flash file explorer flashable zip;
2. Reboot and follow the wizard, jump wifi, I've done this procedure in data connection;
3. Download ad install microG Services Core and microG Services Framework Proxy;
4. Open MicroG Setting on your drawer and set (see img);
5. Reboot phone
at this point you add your account, then
6. Install GooglePlayStore (do not open this);
7. Install Lucky Patcher and open this on your drawer then put googleplaystore in system/apps
8. Reboot phone;
9. Install titanium backup and restore your app;
10. You haven't PlayService and google framework that suck your battery (see img).
Here you can find the app that do not work
however you can use third-party applications, that it is better
GAPPS LIST OF WORKING AND NOT WITH THIS PROCEDURE:
Google: basic functionality, but are not available Now cards, you 'you can personalize "Ok Google" (works as a default)
Maps: work
Youtube: work
Drive: work
Plus: do not work (to be tested)
Hangout: work
Calendario: work
Traduttore: work
Play Giochi: do not work (to be tested)

Snapseed: work
Tastiera Google:work
Fotocamera: work
Gmail: work
Keep: do not work raccomanded Evernote alternative
Fit: do not work (to be tested)
For the rest I invite users to test and report your results
I read you don't need an ROM with Fake signature...
There is an xposed Module for it...
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.thermatk.android.xf.fakegapps
It would be fair to link the thread by @MaR-V-iN:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616
There can everybody find the links and maybe help to install a ROM without GApps. Btw l.......r isn't necessary to install microG, there are other possibilities...!

You have to install the Playstore as System-App. And once more, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-microg-gmscore-floss-play-services-t3217616 you can find there the missing informations.

For full functionality you need signature faking.
Instructions
Preparation:
You need a 4.4+ ROM that is GAPPS-free. Either don't install them or remove them, if your ROM ships them. Please note that microG GmsCore might run on a cleaned stock ROM, but it might also brick it or cause random bugs.
You need a ROM that supports signature faking. Some custom ROMs are patched to support signature faking out of the box, including all OmniROM-based ones. Stock CyanogenMod denied the inclusion, as the possibility of third-party play services implementations is a security issue. Please ask your ROM developer if unsure. The latest version of signature spoofing has to be enabled at the bottom of the developer settings first. If your ROM does not support signature faking, but you use Xposed, you can grab a Xposed module here.
If you are a ROM developer or just do custom builds for whatever reason, you can download and include the patch from here and here.
Remove UnifiedNlp. In case you installed it before. You can keep your backend modules installed, microG Services will be able to use them later and provide the same feature set (to be precise, microG Services includes UnifiedNlp).

2. Reboot and follow the wizard, jump wifi connection setup.
3. Download ad install microG Services Core and microG Services Framework Proxy (apks).
4. Open MicroG Setting on your drawer and set (see img attached).
5. Reboot phone
at this point you add your account, then
6. Install GooglePlayStore apk from apkmirror (do not open this).
7. Install Lucky Patcher and open this on your drawer then put googleplaystore in system/apps (you can directly uninstall Lucky Patcher after this so it doesnt mash up anything!).
8. Reboot phone.
9. Finished (you can check functionality now)

I don't know if ppl here on MTCB have noticed this hack
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...nt/mtcd-microg-install-massive-speed-t3581439
While it is MTCD related, according to MicorG original thread it works on any stock or custom Android ROM if there is Xposed...
Russians on 4pda also experimenting with it on both MTCD as well as MATCB/C with great results, but I cannot post 4pda links for XDA policy so you have to look for that yourself.
I installed it according to Russian's procedure (there are several prebuilt APK installers that are easy to use - just click and go!) onto latest MTCB KK Malaysk 3188 ROM and it works. I think there is some speed improvement, I think even several sec faster boot and I believe apps work smoother, but I use only just few apps beside stock ones so it was fast for me even without hacks....
BUT.... Im wondering if MM ROMs for MTCBs, which are notorious for sluggishness, can be improved with this hack. Didn't find Russians reporting on that yet, so maybe someone here with Malaysia or other KK ROM may try and report results.
It would be great if this hack can resolve performance issues on MM ROMs without memory upgrade! I believe Russians are on track for that, but I would encourage ppl here willing to step forward.
Thanks @pa.ko
I can confirm that is working as it should - speed and boot time boost! Found that solution 1 week ago but I cannot install these apps, probably because I didn't unninstall google play just freezed them.
I tried this on DSA's latest lollipop rom.
1) use Titanium backup or root uninstaller ect to remove all google apps
GmsCore, (I didn't have this)
GoogleBackupTransport, (freeze then remove)
GoogleFeedback, (freeze then remove)
GoogleLoginService, (freeze then remove)
GoogleOneTimeInitializer, (freeze then remove)
GooglePartnerSetup, (freeze then remove)
GoogleServicesFramework, (freeze then remove)
Phonesky, (I didn't have this)
SetupWizard and (I didn't have this)
Velvet ect) (I didn't have this)
2) Wipe dalvik cache with titanium backup for all apps
3) install FakeGApps by thermatk from xposed, activate, and reboot.
4) go to https://microg.org/download.html and download latest
microG Services Core Preview release (not stable 0.2.4),
microG Services Framework Proxy stable and
microG Store (FakeStore release) stable.
5) Install the three apps, reboot.
6) Test if it works, try to go to settings -> accounts -> add account, add your google account and hopefully should all go ok.
I did the following and I could log into google account and use google maps without problems.
I also use paid Poweramp from playstore and now I had problem because poweramp could not verify licence...
Will try to install fake store but I think this won't work, any solutions?

Good to have confirm that it works for you too.
Unfortunately, I don't use any sw that requires license check so I cannot share experiences. You may ask in MicroG thread here on XDA? I think they would know more on licensing checks and other advances features.
I've removed all the Google Play stuff from my unit anyway and it boots fast and runs extremely well. Sure I have to grab APK's instead of using the store and can't use Google Maps etc but the benefits outweigh those negatives.

Which ROM you use? KK or LP? Good to know that MicroG is solution for performance.
I managed to get working microG and playstore with google maps, youtube and other google staff working... but google play is useable just for activating poweramp for me thats it, if i use blankstore instead all the google apps are stil working but poweramp doesn't activate

Surely you mean Lollipop, theres no MM for MTCB/C.
I think the best way to sort these issues is the 2GB RAM mod.
But using MicroG sounds like it would help, its how you d uninstall the current G package, I ll check out the thread . . .
EDIT: I was thinking that MicroG was a micro google apps package that you might install from here : http://opengapps.org/
after flashing a custom ROM with no google apps at all.

No it is not. MicroG is independent project, targeted to offload much of Googles mambo-jumbo which is of interest only for Google (wide data collection for their own interest) on expense of processing power of the users... It is well known problem that LP was "too heavy" for exact reasons, they (BigG) reduced it in MM (but not too much, they still need lot of user data and processing offload on users side to make all these billions of $ for themselves)... KK was "lighter" (especially if you dont install Google App at all, which was BTW introduced after KK was released so in KK there is no by-design support for all that mambo-jumbo intoduced later).
Well, someone was mindful enough to launch this project. So it is solution for LP performance issues without RAM upgrade.
(Dont want to argue about benefits of RAM upgrade - just pointing out that similar performance for average user needs can be achieved with this free SW hack instead of paying and struggling with RAM chips upgrade)
It is to follow the development and see if devs like Booroondook and Mlaysk will incorporate this hack in their ROM builds (it would be beneficial to both KK and LP ROMs, especially for 3066 units!!!). That would be a revolution around here...

I know EXACTLY what youre talking about - I clicked on the link and I know about Googleis service mods throughout the versions thanks.
I was posting/editing my post to suggest that maybe removing all Gapps and installing a Microgoogle apps package like in the link may also help.
There is no "arguement" about the RAM upgrade - it IS the best way to sort the problems, but this (and poss my suggestion) could the second best way if it works.
Hi,
if someone send me (also a private message is fine) some info on how create a package that is accepted from the recovery I can add support for it in my installer.

Probably has to be allready in update.img in the rom update, or format like ota update uses...
I also tried flashfire app to flash your zip from system itself and it worked...

Thanks, it is a nice idea to use FlashFire.

Thanks in advance

Yes you can, and yes you can use google maps, because playstore is working...
You save about 300 mb

Thanks for answering , i have delete the Google Services and install only 2 apks because one of them cant install. it was the microG store apk. When i want install, it aborts. But i can now see i have more memory and the Radio feels faster. What can i do to install the the microG store APK? ( FakeStore releases ) and must i change something in the FakeG Apps App Menu?
EDIT: Now i can login to Google Play, but after that i become this message: Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01].
I found on the internet a guide to fix it. Close google Play and clear cache. Dele the Google account and makes a new account, but the same error. Is it because i cant install the APK microG APK ?
Thanks in advance

Yes, works on all ROMs, but you may want also to try @dsa8310's ROM which not only has a microG version but also an OpenGapps pico version too, which some people find better, its in the "MTCB/MTCC Firmware" thread.
Thanks, I make instal xposed and brick HU :/ I would like no lags interfejs (better than stock), i should instal MicroG or Open Gapps from "MTCB/MTCC Firmware" thread? I am thanks!
i cant activate the google acc.
If i press add, there comes a screen with "please wait" an nothing more
Thanks to the guide created by pjottrr I successfully unlocked bootloader and rooted my device. Now I'm onto what I assume is the next step, which is to flash a custom rom via fastbootd?
Im aiming to 'degoogle' my device by getting rid of gapps and installing microG to substitute play services, though i'm not sure which custom rom is compatible with setting up microG.
Is there anyone here that can share their experience with a particular custom rom + microG integration? Or is there another method for what I'm trying to achieve

It isn't microG, but it does have FDroid app store baked in. It's a really solid ROM. The only glitch is with tethering. Tethering works exactly as it is supposed to but when you exit out it reboots the phone.

Thanks for the suggestion. Would I be able to install microG to replace the core gapps after flashing this rom onto my device? I was going to add the nanodroid magisk module to do so following This guide

There are NO gapps in this ROM. FDroid is a non google app store. You should be able to install microg without having to remove anything.

Well all that's left now is to try and give it a go. I'll report back once it's completed!
Ive flashed the rom! No problems it seems so far. Now im trying... but not sure how to install microG. The aforementioned guide says to install magisk manager to install microG. Only problem is that magisks latest release notes claim that magisk manager is no more, that its already inside the latest apk, which I installed when rooting. So how do I install microG using the manager supposedly baked into the latest apk?
Edit: I was able to install microG successfully. I didnt know that custom ROMs came unrooted. I rooted it following the same steps as the first time and then I was able to easily flash the microG module in magisk with no issues.
Thank you so much to all the people on this forum. Im a total noob and seemingly was able to successfully accomplish what I was after, with very minor hiccups(that were caused by my noobness of course haha)
Guess I might have spoken too soon.. On microG the permission to access location in the background, and permission to receive SMS arent ticked in the self-check menu. Any ideas on how I could go about easily fixing this?

You should be able to just click on the items which arent checked and microG will ask for the permissions so you can grant them in the pop-up

Ive tried this but to no avail. Oddly enough, I made a 2nd user account on the same device and on there microG has all the permissions checked.
I installed it via the magisk module. Do you think it would make a difference to try uninstalling it and maybe try installing via the f-droid store?
Check out my post here. I have successfully installed crdroid 7.4 with Nanodroid plus microG and a real Play Store.

I appreciate the tip, but this is for crdroid, I've already went with lineage and as of yet don't plan on switching to try something new. besides that, microG works fine on my 2nd user account which Ive switched to use and that I mentioned in an earlier post in this thread. And on my newly embarked journey to retain privacy and protect my data I've come to discover its better to use a second user account as your daily go-to account instead of your admin account which grants root permissions. My second use account doesn't have root permissions so in theory this should protect me better.
I guess what I thought was an issue with microG might have been a blessing in disguise since it's forced me to use it on my 2nd user account where all the permissions are granted and now I should be a bit more protected from root access attacks
