Selecting custom rom for microG integration - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

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

MicroG, gapps in only 11mb

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

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

DKB-TAN2go app on rooted device

On Angler (Nexus 6p) I flashed the latest stock rom. (After a complete wipe) Afterwards I flashed TWRP and unzipped Magsik. Subsequently I did update to the latest version. After that I changed the packagename of Magsik manager. Furthermore I installed Xposed framework. Afterwards I enabled root hide for the TAN app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.starfinanz.mobile.android.dkbpushtan&hl=en
This software is meant to give you the tan without using sms services.
Still, the app crashed right at the start without any error notification. Android Version is 8.1 and Magsik is v16. While I did the test, the bootloader was unlocked and TWRP was still the recovery. Can these two things affect the verification of the Banking app? I tried this several times ago in the past, but I was never to make this app running.
If anyone would be able to give helpful advice here, it would be very much appreciated.
Best,
scarline
I have heard that DKB Tan2Go does not work with newer Android versions like Oreo 8.1.x at all.
I can also confirm that. I tried it on a Sony cellphone. The cellphone was not rooted and with a completely new and 'clean' ROM. It was to no avail.
A friend has been forced to buy a chip reader. I am fortunate to be able to use normal TAN lists at the moment. If the DKB tries to exclude me from online banking, I will change the bank.
DKB Tan2Go seems to be one of the worst and most insecure apps ever. The reviews in Google PlayStore confirm this conclusion.
Maybe there will be a solution someday?
DKB TAN2go works with Magisk:
1. Install the TAN2go app (but don't open it)
2. Add the TAN2go app in Magsik Manager in the menu "Magisk Hide"
3. Reboot the phone (I don't know if this is necessary)
4. Open TAN2go, works fine.
**** DKB and this stupid security features which bring absoltuely no security.
That's exactly what I tried - without success. I read that it only worked with an old, obsolete version of Tan2Go. However, I could not find this version and I'm not sure if it still works at all. Did you have the latest version of Tan2Go from Google PlayStore? According to DKB, the recent Tan2Go does not work with devices that was once rooted or had a CustomROM. Even if you go back to stock the Root Counter changed and DKB Tan2Go will never work on this device. Unfortunately, I have to confirm that.
I am working on it to change the bank, because of that.

Indeed!
Yes, I have installed the latests version of LineageOS, latest version von Magisk and the latests version of the TAN2go app.
I tried that to no avail. I heard once the root counter has a value other than 0, one can't go back. Probably it is also the Sony bootloader and it is different with other devices?

I have a Xiomi Mi5 rooted with Magisk and Tan2go used to work for the last year or so. But yesterday I tried to make a transaction and BOOM! App crashed without an error message. Tried to use a newer Magisk, tried reinstalling the App, nothing helped.
The worst thing is that I do not know if some of my programs have a battery checker or a screen reader plugin that I am not aware of, or if Tan2Go suddenly detects my root. Regardless, crashing without an explanation is like the worst programming practice ever.
Since I do not need this kind of ****e in my life I will probably change Bank, I mean what good is an internet Bank if you cannot do transactions over your mobile device?
Well, willy-nilly I try to use the only other option from DKB: the German TAN Generator. Every other bank equips you with such a device, if they want you to use it. The DKB does not. Actually, I ordered the 3rd TAN Generator and fully paid for it. The first one drains the battery within days. The second one let me type in all the numbers and for no reason the TAN code does not show up on display.
These devices are very annoying anyway, because you have to type in a lot of numbers for every money transfer, the characters are very small (on the laptop) and you have to carry the TAN Generator + the DKB debitcard all the time. Of course this is less secure.
I would change the bank immediately, but want to keep the Visa credit card. I have higher limits on it. That's the only reason. As soon as I found an alternative bank in Europe, I will leave the DKB for good.
It dont worked with Lineage 14.1 but with 15.1 unoffical build on Samsung S4 together with latest Magisk .Rom from here

Works for me
Just tried again. It hasn't been working for me in the past. When downloading & opening the app, I had the same problems.
Then I simply followed the above advice: downloading the app again, didn't open it, hide with Magisk, reboot and opened the app - worked well and was able to register for tan2go.
I am using Lineage 16.0 and Magisk v18.0
DKB already updated their app - they patched it

The app version from September (version 2.3.0) does work, the newer app version from 4.4.19 (version 2.4.0) does not...
Tested working combination: Magisk 18.0, Magisk Manager 6.1, DKB version 2.3.0
Can confirm that, working with magisk and 2.3.0. Not working anymore with 2.4.0.
I have another Tan app from another bank and with the new version it also stops working. Seems that magisk is now quite to popular and they working on better detection. Magisk hide is useless on the recent version of these tan apps.
That really sucks. No way to get 2.4.0 working. Hoping for a magisk fix. Are the magisk developer informed that there are problems with magisk hide? I think others will have similar problems too.
I successfully got 2.4 working again, after it got updated and refused to start.
Following the steps from this post made it work again (German):
https://www.android-hilfe.de/forum/...trotz-magisk.901517-page-2.html#post-11532359
I installed Magisk 19.0 (beta) but contrary to the above mentioned post I left my Magisk modules installed as they were before the update.
Both the Magisk modules as well as TAN2Go 2.4 are now working again.
I had to authenticate the new TAN2Go installation by adding it as a "new device" using SMS verification.
I was not able to get it to run with the above mentioned instuctions.
Device: Nexus 6P (angler), ROM: LineageOS 15.1-20190419, Magisk modules: MagiskHide Props Config (required for ctsProfile test), Busybox for Android NDK (required for MagiskHide Props Config).
DKB Tan2Go crashes immediately when started.
Same for me. The above instruction doesn't work.
Downgrade to 2.3.0
I experienced the same problem. Had to do an important transfer yesterday. And of course Tan2Go-2.4.0 crashed. I'm using Magisk v18.1.
Today I did a downgrade via Aptoide to 2.3.0 and had to register the smartphone again via SMS. This worked without any problems.
To avoid the update problem and keep with 2.3.0:
Start Titanium Backup
Select the DKB Tan2Go App
Long click on the App.
Connect with Google Play Store (forced)
Long click the App again.
Disconnect from Google Play Store
Hope it helps. I don't think there's much to change in the DKB Api. I'll use 2.3.0 until they block it via the API.
If more people confirm the proposed solution with Magisk v19, I'll try it maybe.
I got it working with v2.4.0, but don't know which step was the solution. Switching to the "Canary" channel of Magisk or hiding the Magisk Manager in the settings. I think the last one was the solution.
Can you guys try and give feedback?
Don't forget to uninstall and install the app before testing again.

Does Google pay work with a custom ROM/root?

It looks like it should with Magisk, but I can't seem to get it to work. I have pay hidden, using magisk 17.1 and passing safety net. It sticks at card verification. It says "verifying with bank", then kicks me to the payment screen where it says "verification needed". Clicking on that gives me a momentary waiting circle, but nothing else happens. I've tried it with 2 different cards. US998, RR oreo 8.1.

That's not an issue with Pay. If Magisk was being blocked by root/unlocked bootloader, you would get a message when you first fire up Pay that your phone can't be verified so "Google Pay can't run on this device".
Have you contacted your bank to make sure they support it? If it's not being verified with your bank, sounds like you need to call them. For the last few years, my bank didn't. It wasn't until this past year that they actually allowed it.
I'm not sure what the issue was. It wasn't with the bank(s). I was having the same issue with all the cards I tried. Eventually did a wipe and it worked.

After installing Google Pay, hide it using Magisk Hide, and Hide Magisk Manager in Magisk Settings. Then remove phone permission from Google Play Services and Play Store. Now you can register Pay on your rooted phone. After registration is complete, you should allow phone permission to Play Services and Play Store. This trick works always, I've tested with multiple custom roms with and without selinux enforcing.
If we want to reuse root features should we give phone permissions again ?
If we want to use Google pay again later should we re hide magisk and permissions ?

Phone permissions have nothing to do with root features, I didn't exactly understand what do you mean by reuse root features but I don't recall any root solution app or framework asking for Phone Permission. If you are asking about granting phone permission to Google Play Services after Google Pay registration, you should do it, it's not recommended to deny phone permission to Google Play Services. And once you hide Magisk you don't need to change it's state as Magisk will continue to work as expected whether it's hidden or not.

Did you by any chance remove phone permission from Google Pay app? You need to turn off telephone permission from Google Play Services and Google Play Store. Google Pay app needs phone permission to verify the phone number, don't turn off phone permission from Pay, do it for only play store and play services. Hope that helped.
Does not work
Once I renable telephone permission for Google Play Services, googlepay does not work anymore. Asks me to register and then I cannot register as I dont pass the security test. I am on lineage os 15.1
Non rooted lineageOS
I am a real newbie but i do use google pay a lot.
Will google pay just work on lineageOS that wasnt rooted or with magisk install, only with an unlocked bootloader. Or will i need extra work to do before i can use it?

Extra work? There's no extra work to install Magisk. It's part of the instructions when unlocking the bootloader and installing TWRP. Magisk Hide (part of Magisk Manager) lets Google Pay work.
When you unlock the bootloader and install TWRP (which you need to install ROMs), the next steps in the process include flashing three files IN TWRP: the no root checker, the no encryption and Magisk. I'm not clear why you would just stop short of finishing the process.
Unless you use Magisk Hide, simply unlocking the bootloader will cause Google Pay to then fail -- even without installing TWRP or a ROM.
Unlocked bootloader by itself -- without Magisk Hide (a part of Magisk) -- will cause Safety Net to fail. Google Pay will not work.
Why do you want Lineage OS without root? That's like owning a car with internal combustion engine, but refusing to put in gasoline. (or refusing to charge a Tesla.) You can do it, but to me it doesn't make sense.
You might as well stay on stock unrooted firmware.
I have stock rooted firmware. I'm not using any custom ROMs -- but at least I have root and my Magisk mods.

Thank you. Just flash magisk and hide google pay using it. From what i under stand is i have root access+ unlocked bootloader+ google pay functionalities. And the reason not to root is just because i want the feel of stock android+some nice modification
Recently had this problem with G Pay also. Found where some just deleted 'cache' and 'data' from Google Play and Play Services. That worked for me too. Of course hide Magisk etc first.

Hi, I'm not able to get Google Pay working on my rooted V30. I unlocked bootloader and flashed TWRP, no checker, no encryption, using chazzdave's WTF tutorial. Now have Havoc installed. I have hidden root from play, play services, and pay. I've hidden magisk by scrambling APK. I've cleared cache and data of play, play services, and pay. I've revoked telephone permission for play services and play store, although I had to re-enable play services telephone permission during card setup because pay wouldn't go any further. But nothing. Just error message that root is enabled and cannot proceed.
One of my banking apps which didn't work on root is working after hiding from magisk, but no Google pay. Has something updated and a loophole been closed?
Thanks

Use Magisk v19. I believe it's a beta at the moment

PhonePe not working after Root

PhonePe is a UPI based Payments Platform which offers immense cashbacks.
[BOLD] (Haven't used before? Get ₹100 in your Wallet using my referral: https://phon.pe/ru_debo8w9xb ) [/BOLD]
Since the latest update, PhonePe has taken counter-active measures against Root Users.
If you have used SuperSU, then you've to get through the helluva process of getting MagiskSU.
If you've MagiskSU, then you're covered. Simply go to Magisk Hide, search for PhonePe and enable the checkbox next to PhonePe.
You might want to clear Cache (optional) and voila your transactions are now happening.
Update: You can use Island by Oasis Feng to create a Sandboxed Work Environment and install the app to achieve the same results!:silly:

It's not a tool, it a method, MagiskSU.
Hi,
I wanted to know if this still works. For me, once I put PhonePe into magisk hide, it simply doens't open. It just shows white screen and freezes. With GPay, it is not able to verify my OTP. Can someone confirm if there are any other alternative option

Its working thankyou
Latest PhonePe app not visible in magisk hide.
I have installed phonepe(latest) and the app itself is not visible inside the magisk hide options. Any workaround?
Phonepe app not working with Latest LSposed, Zygisk, Shamiko SNFix. App opens and runs, but when UPI transaction is attempted, then it prompts that not allowed on rooted device.
RootBeer clears the device as Non Rooted.
Momo detects Xposed framework, Zygisk and Injected Zygote

Starling Bank App - downgrade help

I have a rooted Samsung SG10Exynos/OS9 that bypasses SafetyNet with the help of Magisk 26.0 & safetynet-fix-v2.4.0-MOD_1.2 (meets BASIC INTERGITY) that I have been using the Starling Bank app 2.92.1.79025 without an issue. I stupidly upgraded to the latest version and got the attached screenshot saying that I had 14 days to restore the device to factory settings (I was still able to use the app after pressing ok). I even more stupidly thought that I could revert back to the previous version that I was using, using Titanium Backup which failed (the app would just flash continuous on launch) and then Swift backup (where it would just repeatedly crash even even before being launched requiring a force stop)
If I wipe data/uninstall/restart phone and install fresh from google play, I now get the attached screenshot saying again to restore to factory, but the button says close app. So being a digital bank, I'm now locked out of my account.
I've tried to install previous versions from APKMirror mirror after wiping data/uninstall/restarting phone, and then just restoring my data with my Titanium/Swift backups but still no joy.
Does anyone know how to downgrade/install not the latest version of Starling Bank, which doesn't have the increased STRONG INTERGITY check?

It will force you to use the latest app.

Also having the same issue. Is this something I should be blocking in Zygiskhide? I can't see it there. Googling the above isn't helping me.

You could try Magisk Delta as it now acts as whitelist so you add only what you want with root. This won't bypass Starling security though. You need to also block address above.

Blocking this address (firebaseremoteconfig.googleapis.com) through AdAway has fixed it for me! That is along with all the things that were needed to run it previously.

I think the part where I'm stuck is, what would you suggest to block that address? I can't do that in HMA or in Denylist because it doesn't exist.
I've tried blocking in AdAway and manually adding and still getting Starling recognising root.
I've blocked anything Google Play Services, Play Protect, Wallet too. Starling is my main bank. Has only been an issue in the last couple weeks.
A13 P6 Pro running the April security update 13 (TQ2A.230405.003.E1), Magisk 26101, USNF 2.4.0 Mod 1.2, passing Safetynet Basic+ CTS.
Will look at Magisk Delta next.

This isn't working for me :/. Can you share what other modules you're running/how you've set up Magisk?
I followed the directions in this video.
I didn't do the final step where he renames the Magisk app, seems that it isn't necesary.
The YASNAC app shows that the device passes "Basic integrity" and "CTS profile match".
Also remember that blocking firebaseremoteconfig.googleapis.com might break other apps that use this domain (I've found one so far).

It's a recent update that broke it.
Try Magisk 26.1, enable Zygisk and enforce deny list. Add systemless hosts. Add only Starling to the deny list.
Install safetynet fix 2.4.0 mod 1.2 by displax.
Add the domain I posted to adaway blocklist. Make sure its enabled and in root mode.

Thanks for updating. I have both of these in my AdAway too
Code:

Nothing doing

Clean install for Starling? I'm trying to think if I did something else.
Oh. Have you "hidden" Magisk?
Just to weigh in here, I can confirm blocking:
firebaseremoteconfig.googleapis.com
Does indeed allow the Starling app to work. Yes blocking Firebase is going to stop some applications working, but you could always pause AdAway until you are done using the problematic app then resume AdAway when you want to use Starling.
Many thanks @theoneofgod
Not working
Reverting the Starling app back to version 2.95.1.79953 fixes things - just don't forget to re-add it to the Deny List.
I'll probably stay on this version until a new fix is found for the current version 2.96.0.80202.

Wild, even this didn't work for me. No idea why I'm having issues.
Hi All
Quick update - Can confirm that rolling back to 2.95.1.79953 does fix things for now
This is using adaway to block the Firebase URLs in a custom host file and using enforce denylist. It doesnt work beyond that for now.
I swapped over to Magisk Alpha for now but i dont know what Starling are doing in the background to see that you have root at this point. Its very annoying
- Edit 2
They seem to be detecting the Enforce Denylist in Magisk (In any form)
Disabling it on version 2.95.1 shows the app can see root. Enabling it allows the app to proceed as if you are not rooted.
Give KernelSU a try if you can. No modules or any workarounds required.

Isnt that the same as the setting in magisk that hides root from everything not on the su list. Which also doesnt work.
