# microG Mobile Services
|
|
|
|
This is a collection of FOSS APKs, coupled with the respective Makefiles for an
|
|
easy integration in the Android build system.
|
|
|
|
To include them in your build, add a repo manifest file to include this repository as `vendor/partner_gms` and set
|
|
`WITH_GMS` to `true` when building.
|
|
|
|
Example manifest:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
|
|
<manifest>
|
|
<project path="vendor/partner_gms" name="lineageos4microg/android_vendor_partner_gms" remote="github" revision="master" />
|
|
</manifest>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note 1. You do not need to set `CUSTOM_PACKAGES` for the packages to be included when building with [our Docker engine](https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd).
|
|
|
|
Note 2. For the microG packages to work, signature spoofing must be enabled, by patching the LineageOS sources before building.
|
|
- If you are building with [our Docker engine](https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd), this is done automatically according to the values of the `SIGNATURE_SPOOFING` variable - see [here](https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd#signature-spoofing). By default, this variable is set to `restricted`, allowing only system apps (those built-in to the ROM) to 'spoof' the signature of another app.
|
|
- If you are building manually, you can download and include the patches from [here](https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd/tree/master/src/signature_spoofing_patches). If you follow the [microG patching instructions](https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/wiki/Signature-Spoofing), you ROM will allow _**any**_ app, not only system apps, to spoof app signatures. To apply only 'restricted' signature spoofing, you should do something similar to what the Docker engine `build.sh` does in [this code](https://github.com/lineageos4microg/docker-lineage-cicd/blob/c77eabe036a1620499a8c087b732e039e0734656/src/build.sh#L229C1-L231C1).

The included APKs are:
|
|
* FDroid packages (binaries sourced from [here](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid/) and [here](https://f-droid.org/packages/org.fdroid.fdroid.privileged/))
|
|
* FDroid: a catalogue of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) applications for the Android platform
|
|
* FDroid Privileged Extension: a FDroid extension to ease the installation/removal of apps
|
|
* additional_repos.xml: a simple package to include the [microG FDroid repository](https://microg.org/fdroid.html) in the ROM (requires FDroid >= 1.5)
|
|
* microG packages (binaries sourced from [here](https://microg.org/download.html))
|
|
* GmsCore: the main component of microG, a FOSS reimplementation of the Google Play Services (requires GsfProxy and FakeStore for full functionality)
|
|
* GsfProxy: a GmsCore proxy for legacy GCM compatibility
|
|
* FakeStore: an empty package that mocks the existence of the Google Play Store
|
|
* IchnaeaNlpBackend: Network location provider using Mozilla Location Service
|
|
* NominatimGeocoderBackend: Geocoder backend that uses OSM Nominatim service.
