====== Using microG ======

[[wp>microG]] is a FOSS implementation of Google libraries, that acts as a replacement for [[wp>Google Play Services]]. 

Most android devices stock operating systems do not support microG, due to this rooting is usually required for usage. Although, there have been reports from users on the [[phones:kyocera_digno_keitai_3:start|Kyocera DIGNO Keitai 3]] having success using microG without root[(https://www.reddit.com/r/dumbphones/comments/1ebr18f/how_to_use_microsoft_authentication_and_fix_gps/)].

===== Installation ===== 

microG can be downloaded through F-Droid by adding the microG repository. You can add the repository link through F-Droid settings.

microG repository link: https://microg.org/fdroid/repo/

After adding the repository download microG Services through F-Droid.

===== Signature spoofing =====

Requirements:
  - Having rooted the phone \\ \\
  - Having installed microG\\ \\
  - Having a USB data cable\\ \\

It should be noted that LSPosed is only accessible by the notification it creates or a shortcut. At this time it is not possible to use shortcuts on [[third_party_apps:launchers#InkOS|InkOS]][(https://github.com/gezimos/inkOS/issues/57)].

To set up signature spoofing you will need to get a module for [[https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed|LSPosed]] called [[https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps|FakeGapps]]. Using this will make it so that microG can fully masquerade as [[wp>Google Play Services]].

  - On the phone open Magisk and go to settings. Enable Zygisk and reboot the phone if prompted. \\ \\
  - You will need to download the latest LSPosed Zygisk release, which may be found here: https://github.com/LSPosed/LSPosed/releases (newer releases such as Vector do not seem to work on the DIGNO 4, and cause a bootloop on the DIGNO 3).\\ \\
  - Move the zip onto your phone via USB and install it using Magisk. \\ \\
  - Enable LSPosed and reboot. \\ \\

  - Install the FakeGApps APK from here: https://github.com/whew-inc/FakeGApps/releases \\ \\
  - Open LSPosed and enable FakeGApps. \\ \\
  - In microG enable all available settings in the Self-Check section.
  - Reboot the phone. \\ \\
 
After rebooting the device you should find a check mark in microG for signature spoofing.

===== Adding back Firebase Cloud Messaging =====

<note important>Requires Signature Spoofing</note>

This can be done by enabling Google device registration and Cloud Messaging in microG.
