using GCAM in LineageOS - Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question

Hello,
I was wondering if one needs to install Google services such as MicroG in order to use GCAM? I don't really want to install MicroG unless necessary. As far as I know I would need to install MicroG on a fresh LineageOS ROM and it wouldn't be possible afterwards.

I'm in stock rom rn but planned to flash custom rom later because i just apply to unlock the bootloader 6 days ago , probably 3 hours from now I'll use custom rom, i think gcam has nothing to do with MicroG or any google play services , so you don't have to worry about it

i just installed a custom gsi rom and i can confirm that it support gcam , just need to find the right one , i use pixelcam v1 and it works just fine

Thanks for the test. Though GSI ROM says "with gapps included"

I'll try later.

No Instant Apps on lineage 14.1

Hi,
I install lineage 14.1 and stock version of open gapps and now I don't get the option to use instant apps, it's not even shows in the google settings. Before I installed lineage I used the stock rom(eui 5.8.16) and I was the option of the instant apps.
How can I use the instant apps again??
I could not find a solution to it anywhere!
what you mean by instant apps?

^^^^^^^^^^^
What he said:good:
But I don't have the instant apps option at all!
I have no idea why....
Heyyo, hmm maybe it requires SafetyNet Certification?
You could try to pass SafetyNet authentication via Magisk and potentially Universal SafetyNet fix module for Magisk.
Otherwise you could try a different ROM like OmniROM which has official signed builds for the Le Max 2 hence they are SafetyNet certified. Might work on there.
I dunno if a larger version of Gapps is required or not either hmm tbh haven't tested instant apps so could require the stock OpenGapps or full Bean Gapps? I'm not sure sorry

Snapchat Stable ROm

HI there have had the One plus X for around 9 months now and Im loving the phone, however I have been installing roms literally nearly every week trying to look for a good one (besides Oxygen OS) that doesn't crash on snapchat. Which is stable, can video, and doesn't crash? If anyone knows a rom like that that would be great
Cheers

I've already installed all stable labeled ROMs and I think the only rom where Snapchat crashed/etc was oxygen is (with root actually) - I don't exactly understand what your problem is then?

Try a clean install wiping manually everything (system, data, internal & SD). Copy the files on a computer first.
Then flash AICP or ViperOS or JDC.
It should work

Thanks ill try AICP.... Which rom did you use? And does snapchat work 100% stable on it? Thanks
Only problem I've had with Snapchat on custom roms is that you have to sign in before you install SuperSu or Magisk. Otherwise it will just say "You're login has temporarily failed ". But it's worked perfectly fine on every custom rom I've tried (which has been a lot of them). It's working fine for me on PureNexus right now for instance.

If you use both su and xposed, use magisk version of both of them and it'll solve the crashing
Have the same problem with crashing snapchat on every custom rom. Now I'm running Linage 14.1 with magisk installed but it keeps crashing. Like OP said the only rom where snapchat seems stable is OOS. I haven tried to wipe internal storage yet. Please let me know if that helps.

Quick question

What is the best way to install gapps on a phone with China rom?so everything will work as normal.
I saw it`s a way to install from recovery. can you do it with stock one?are there any risks?
And another with a google app installer v2 that does all the work.
Any opinions?
You will need certified gapps and google certified firmware. Im not saying its impossible but it takes a lot of work. I dont mean to discourage you but in your case I would use alternative stores to be honest like apkpure after i debload the **** out of the chinese firmware
Its not the case at honor 10 i think, mine came clean and with gapps insalled and certified. But they were installed by the seller.
Thats why i was asking how, in case of reset.
Well i guess you will need to add custom recovery like TWRP and try different versions to see whats work or not. For that i would searxh in lineageOs foruna to see whats updated and working on oreo 8.1 x64

I dont want to risk and change the rom, just install google apps, or at least the ones i use.
I find a way by installing GMSInstaller.apk + Google installer v2. Cant test it, but i think it works.

It is possible but usually you will experience a lot of crush. Try it and let ne know

Banking Apps

On which custom ROM for Poco F1 can I install and use Banking apps? Please suggest. Does it work on Pixel Experience, Nitrogen, Lineage? (without Root)
I am from India... So I tried Indian banking app. I got HDFC, SBI, PAYTM, PHONE PAY working with magisk on Lineage Os. But was unable to make google pay work.

Indeed, I am using Lineage OS, and am unable to get Google Pay to work. Reading through the forum, it seems downgrading Magisk to v17 should work, but I still need to try it.
Anybody who has a working soltuion, who can confirm this for us?
I am on custom rom with magisk 18.0 .Google Pay works using magisk hide and by disabling telephone permissions for Google play services.

Question Any custom rom available for Samsung A02s (SM-A025F/DS))?

Is there any custom rom available for Samsung A02s (SM-A025F/DS)?

Samsung A02s runs on 32-bit firmware.
But, it also supports 64-bit firmware, which means you can install almost any GSI Custom ROM since it supports treble.
Haven't tried installing one yet but will test and see if I can do it.

Hi! Sadly, there's no custom rom built specifically for A02s but it is compatible with arm32_binder64 GSIs with A/B Partition Style. I successfully installed a TrebleDroid version of Android 13, here's the proof.

Wow! I was going to test it but thank god I found someone who already did!
I will make a thread regarding installing GSI roms on A02s once I try it myself so that I can help other do it.

Have you been able to install Gapps on it? I got my twrp from this and got my gApps from NikGapps since the original one doesn't have Gapps for Android 13.
But when flashing it, I got an 'insufficient space' error. When doing some research, I found out that the /data partition can be resized to give space to /system and /product for it to be able to install.
But there doesn't seems to be an option to resize it. Tried with resize2fs but got an error saying that the block specified doesn't exist.

Sadly nope, installing gapp on an Android 13 GSIs on this device is pretty hard. Tried numerous flavors but to no avail. LiteGApps is kinda working for me but the Play Store only shows No Internet Access, it can be substitute with Aurora Store tho (but it would be nice if it works). Other than Play Store, everything seems to work fine.
Installing GSIs with gapps preinstalled has Google app always crashing (one GSI I used shows that its using a arm64 build of Google app which will obviously crash on our a64 devices). I guess things would be much better if a custom rom or an arm64 TWRP and kernel was built specifically for this device.
The kinda stable GSI I found so far in this device was LineageOS 19.1 a64 bgN. Google apps works flawlessly but universalsafetynetfix was causing the system to crash so F.

Yeah I was also having this issue. I was wondering what was causing the crash lol.
It seems that no SafetyNet fixing method is working. I even tried the built-in option to spoof the device properties for safetynet to work in TrebleDroid Lineage OS 20 but this also made the device crash.

Found a fix for the No internet access issue. All you have to do is go into the app's info in Settings and go to Mobile data and WiFi and give it internet access.
The Gapps Integration I'm using is BitsGapps which supports arm devices and Android 13. I installed it through Magisk. But it can also be flashed through TWRP.
But LiteGapps is also good.
A fix for the no space issue when trying to flash Gapps is flashing a GSI Image that's 1GB or 500MB (Depends on how much free space you want) larger than the image through fastboot and then flashing the Lineage OS image through TWRP.
TWRP doesn't resize partitions when flashing an image (which leads to some free space remaining) but fastboot does. This gave me the idea to do this and it worked.
Now I have a working Android 13 GSI with Gapps working flawlessly!
