• F-Droid and it's privileged extension
• modified Play Store to allow (in-)app-purchases with microG
  • this required two steps

This lists features unique to NanoMod.

The nanomod-overlay script handles the following features

• pseudo-debloat (Magisk-only)
  • show the list of pseudo-debloated apps
  • add or remove apps from the list of pseudo-debloated apps
• grant signature spoofing permission to microG and Play Store if required
  • both in Magisk and System Mode
• issue nanomod-overlay --help for the full list of options

Full details on the pseudo-debloat feature

The following init scripts are bundled with NanoMod

• external_sd
  • symlink SD Card mount point to /external_sd
  • SD Card needs to be inserted upon boot
• fstrim
  • trim file systems (may increase speed)
• logscleaner
  • clean up log files
• sqlite
  • clean up sqlite databases
• permission
  • set proper permission for microG & Co. on pre-patched ROMs

When in Magisk Mode the init scripts create their log files in

/magisk/NanoMod/.logs/${script}.log.${date}

When installed to /system your ROM needs to support running scripts in

/system/etc/init.d

or you can use Kernel Adiutor's init.d emulation.

microG is an Open Source replacement for Google Services, full details can be found at the microG homepage

NanoMod includes microG as follows

• microG GmsCore and Play Store modified to allow (in-)app purchases
• with Mozilla location provider backend
• with Nominatim adress provider backend
• with microG GsfProxy
• with microG DroidGuard Helper
  • required for SafetyNet support
• support for Maps API version 1
• support for Google Calendar and Contacts Sync
  • disabled by default
• optional Swipe libraries
  • disabled by default
• choose between official Play Store or unofficial Yalp Store
  • Yalp Store can use system permissions to install packages, so you don't need to enable Unknown Sources
    • got to Yalp Store > Settings > Installation Method > Using system permissions

F-Droid is an app store for Open Source applications.

NanoMod includes both F-Droid and it's Privileged Extension , so you don't need to enable Unknown Sources.

Additionally NanoMod includes a variety of applications, check full details

NanoMod includes The Legend of Zelda ringtones and sounds, because it's dangerous to root alone.

Full details

NanoMod supports altering the installation settings to a certain degree.

Full details on altering installation

• Download pre-built or create a zip file from this repository
• perform full wipe (/system, /data, /cache, Dalvik/ART cache)
  • recommended, but not required
• install desired ROM
  • make sure it does not include GApps if you want to use microG
  • either pre-patched with signature spoofing support or deoxeded so you can patch yourself (instructions follow)
• install desired Kernel (if any)
• install Magisk
  • recommended, but not required
  • if Magisk is installed, NanoMod will be installed as Magisk-Module, else it will install into /system directly
• install NanoMod
• reboot into ROM

For microG to work, your ROM needs to have signature spoofing enabled (or a deodexed ROM to patch yourself).

If your ROM does not have signature spoofing support, you can manually patch it using either

• the on-device framework-patcher zip
  • flash after booting into the ROM once
• the framework-patcher.sh script (found in the github repository)
  • use from your PC or laptop while your device is in TWRP. This shell script for GNU Bash (and compatible shells) works on unixoid operating systems like GNU/Linux, BSD or MacOS. It automizes the process of downloading Haystack , pulling files from phone, patching and installing the modified services.jar on the device.

Both patchers support installing the patched services.jar into the following locations

• NanoMod Magisk Module
• NanoMod-microG Magisk Module
• directly into /system

So you can use them regardless whether you're using NanoMod or not.

Once your ROM supports signature spoofing, you need to setup microG like this

• go into microG settings and set up everything like:
  • check results in Self-Check, grant missing permissions (by tapping on them)
    • especially the 'Battery Optimization' item
  • enable Google device registration
  • enable Google Cloud Messaging (only if you want to receive push messages from your applications)
  • enable Google SafetyNet (required for applications that utilize SafetyNet, for example Pokémon GO, ...)
    • menu > set to use the official servers
  • in UnifiedNlp Settings choose
    • Mozilla Location Backend as Geolocation backend
    • Nominatim as Address lockup backend
  • after everything is done, reboot
  • go to Play Store, setup account and install your apps

List of known issues

• microG DroidGuard Helper or Play Store crashing
  • there's currently an issue with Magisk that prevents microG DroidGuard Helper or Play Store from properly working when magic-mounted as /system application, see Magisk Issue 155
  • this does not happen on all devices
  • if you are affected of this issue, instead install them as an user app, by installing the apk from
    • /system/priv-app/DroidGuard/DroidGuard.apk for microG DroidGuard Helper
    • /system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk for Play Store
• SafetyNet check fails with can't connect to Google API
  • see microG DroidGuard Helper or Play Store crashing above and install microG DroidGuard Helper as user application
• SafetyNet check fails with Google Play Services not available
  • you did not setup microG (or did not reboot afterwards)
• Play Store lacks fake signature spoofing permission
  • on ROMs like crDroid or OmniROM, that have built-in signature spoofing, in some cases the Play Store is not granted that permission automatically, to fix this either
    • issue the command nanomod-overlay --permission as root
    • go to Settings > Apps > Gear Icon > App Permissions > Signature Spoofing > Enable for Play Store
• Google Sync adapters lacking permissions
  • to fix this either
    • issue the command nanomod-overlay --permission as root
    • go to Settings > Apps > Google Contacts/Calendar Sync > Permissions > grant permissions
• Battery Drain
  • microG fails to register applications to GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) if they were installed before microG, but the apps keep trying to register and that causes the battery drain, all apps installed after microG are properly registered, to fix the battery drain either
    • do a clean flash of your ROM (, Magisk) and NanoMod and install your apps after microG setup
    • uninstall and re-install all your applications (backup application data if required)

Additional helpful information from the microG wiki.

• full x86/x86_64 support
• better error handling in on-pc framework-patcher
• easier setup process

Q: will there be a GApps version, instead of microG?
A: no. but you can choose not to populate microG.

Q: what devices was this tested on?
A: Moto X Play (lux), Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 (matissewifi), Samsung Galaxy S6 (zeroflte)

Q: what ROMs was this tested on?
A: LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, AICP, AOSP Extended, crDroid, should work on any LineageOS / AOSP based ROM that is working with Magisk.
