Question Any ROM with MicroG out of the box? - Xiaomi Poco F3 / Xiaomi Mi 11X / Redmi K40

As the title says: I'm looking for a ROM (preferably security / privacy focused) that ships with MicroG out of the box. Is there anyone planning to make such ROM for alioth?

What are your objectives.
I have bitten the microG fruit. It really depends on what you are trying to do. If you want a balance of Google and privacy and you are ready to let go of Gmail then it's possible but if you want Gmail then I suggest sticking to Gapps.
PM me for the telegram channel or search minmicroG.
My fav is following the offcial MicroG instruction

Personally I would recommend using a vanilla build for a ROM and then flashing some form of GAPPs:

As LineageOS is now official for our device, you can download LineageOS with MicroG from following url-
https://download.lineage.microg.org/ very soon. All LineageOS official devices have builds on it.

Looking for any solution to have MicroG on SM-A520F, now on LineageOS 16.0 alpha

Hi,
I search for a solution since end of december, I searched xda, duckduckgo and others known search engines.
I can't figure the way to have LineagsOS 16 alpha and MicroG (Pie based version) because of the need of 'signature spoofing'.
I can't use Uber or any application using gApps Play Store and don't want to install gApps nor Play.
Posted this https://github.com/anestisb/vdexExtractor/issues/47#issuecomment-455893286 the guys said to search, but I need help because I'm not finding relevant solutions.
I do have *dex files, but dunno how to repack/sign in the hope I have the good deodexed files :

I don't really care to stay on LineageOS if I can't use MicroG, but I prefer to stay if possible on LOS.
Any pointers please ?
I'm considering many other options, like buying a new device if necessary, but don't know what the best device in middle prices with a size close too 146 x 71.4. and a LineageOS + microG support

Also, we take User requests serious. To suggest something, contact us on telegram.
Features:
1) All systemUI tuning elements
2) An handy Network indicator
3) Charging Information
4) Lawnchair and Quickstep as default
5) Quick Settings mods
6) Signature spoofing
7) OP gestures
8) Navbar tuner
9) Rootless Substratum (with fixes to theme system correctly)
10) Screenshot/screenrecord tile
11) Advanced power menu
12) Double tap to sleep on statusbar
13) Option to disable quick settings/power menu on secure lockscreen
+ it looks like Pixel's stock ROM!

I like this idea...a barebones rom sound awesome....the one I currently use seems to be the lightest footprint but COSP sounds promising.
I vote for it to have the fixes needed for F droid functionality but will need a separate package to flash....therefore the people who want Google won't have to uninstall any apps which will keep the rom light.

This looks very promising, I'm certainly intrigued and keeping an eye on this thread ?.

Nope, but you can install GCam from the Play Store/as apk and it works
So this rom is like strictly stock that we can still receive updates from Google, correct?
If so would it possible to add clock/date options ? TIA
Is there an option to install Yalp Store as a system app?
Now THIS right here is a ROM i can get behind if they keep it AOSP-Barebones ROM with option maybe sideload zip you can install for more options. I want to go Google free when MicroG gets better. Keep up the Good work will be monitoring this Rom, new daily driver.

Barebones with sidoadable zips would be real cool. I don't know to what extent things can be done this way, but even things like privacy guard so people have a choice. That'd be so cool. A flashable zip that contains privacy guard. Really though don't think that's a possibility.
Just posting this cause it's something that's always been on my mind. It's way above my pay grade and maybe just a pipe dream anyway...
I've often thought it would be cool to have a minimal Rom installable with either a PC based script or aroma.
It would let you pick the features then install. Lol

No. Custom ROMs are just that. Custom.
Google monthly updates only work for stock. You need to wait until the dev merges updates from Google into their code.
hey, this is the best ROM I've seen around here since I want to get rid of Google
I've only been testing for a day, but here are some questions and bug reports
- I can't use the Phone app to call anyone (using Virgin Mobile network)
- Netflix won't play UHD content
If I flash another kernel, would it be ok? I'm thinking of trying the Elemental X
otherwise, only good things, keep it up
There's gonna be an update this week! Some new exciting changes included!
Glad this ROM has signature spoofing. Now if only I could get Snapchat to work
Flashed this with simple gapps and it's running great. Nice work. :good:

I was just thinking how much I'd love to see this for the 3a.
Couple of things though;
1) Where's the device tree source and vendor blobs?
2) Its unfortunate that you baked in the google crap, one of the great things about custom builds is to get rid of that.

1. Soon I'll push source
2. I do have microg build for sargo as it is my main device, but not for bonito, so I did not post here on xda, if you want it join the support link group in the thread. Regarding google crap, for some users flashing gapps externally had less fluid experience so I did it.
I hope soon will be very soon, since I'm only interested in building myself anyway.
Have you spoken to @kdrag0n about adding in your source and making this "official"?

Vendor Source
Note:- I have few extra proprietary stuff added in vendor for Google Fi and stuff to work for users out the box which lineage does not have added in their vendor, so if you really want less vendor blob use lineage vendor. It will work without any issue, I think kdrag0n also uses them.
Regarding official builds, I don't have the same infrastructure as him(reason why I only posted gapps build here, it takes lot of time to maintain both gapps and non gapps build) nor the time to maintain it officially. as said in thread, this is my side project which I thought to share it with community. If things work well in future and I feel like doing it official, I may ask kdrag0n. Also idk if he is accepting new device as he is maintaining all the official devices alone by himself.

Nice one. It's really handy to be able to revive old, unsupported devices like the Pixel 3a, which is a perfectly usable phone and can be picked up for next to nothing.
Some of us don't care about de-googling our phones and really just want to extend their lifespan with security updates, so having gapps baked in to ProtonOASP is really nice. Especially when we're just trying to help out our non-technical friends get a bit more life out of their old phones. A consistent, familiar user experience is all they really want.
I was wondering though: Does your build (or any build of ProtonOASP) come with verified-boot signatures so that the device's bootloader can be locked down after the ROM is installed, or is CalyxOS the only option for this?
Unfortunately, Calyx are very puritanical when it comes to de-googling, and microG is just a terrible substitute for interacting with Google services. I tried it on the Pixel 3a, and it doesn't even sync the contact list from your Google account. My non-technical friend was not impressed.
GrapheneOS still has builds up for 3a, however new builds were terminated as of February. While it doesn't ship with gCrap preinstalled, installation is trivial as they've built a compatibility layer to make it work correctly (and much MUCH more securely) as user-installed software, which you can install from the program "Apps".

[ROM]LineageOS 20 - Xiaomi Mi 8

Please note: I no longer maintain this ROM as my phone screen has cracked and I've moved on to a different device. Bgncm will probably continue to maintain it for mi8 as its similar to his other devices. Thanks for those that supported in the past and perhaps we will meet again in the future on a different device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.
Base source code is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to the project, please visit our Gerrit Code Review.

Thanks for keeping up the support for this device!
Excellent work!
Even though I would have preferred a version without Gapps (either Vanilla or microG).
Amazing news! Thank you
Nice, I was waiting for LOS 19
Thanks!
I'm now in lineageos 18.1 and can flash this directly, or first flash miui and then flash this

Can i flash this without format data? cz dipper is my daily driver and it's gonna take a long time for doing backup
running good, battery life is so-so
there is no google feed. Bug or there is something to activate?

Is AOSP without GApps privacy-friendly? If yes, then you could just get one of those AOSP ROMs, which offer a version without GApps.
But AOSP might not be privacy-friendly, I'm not sure. ^^ It's developed by Google after all.

Yeah I know, but is Vanilla Android still privacy-preserving, or does it send Telemetry too?
Cuz that would exclude most ROMs out of the equation for privacy.

Vanilla Android (the base) does not vary from device to device, the included device-specific drivers and other minor adjustments differ.
AOSP doesn’t come with Google’s suite of software applications which u might consider one of the biggest privacy issues on android devices, but unlike Apple u can install vanilla build which does not contain any data mining tools, as far as i know there is no telemetry in AOSP, i personally prefer caf which is more optimized repo for snapdragon devices, at the end of the day if u want total privacy stick with vanilla build (crdroid, BlissRom, SyberiaOS...) plus F-droid store or one of it's forks like Aurora droid app you will find plenty of useful open source apps provided by people like u and me and will not collect any data from ur device, if u still want to use apps from playstore you can flash MicroG: MinMicroG-NoGoolag-2.11.1-20220202153503.zip ( fyi u still have to update aurora apps from their website for them to work properly since this repo hasn't been updated since February ) auroraoss.com it will allow u to download apps from play Store anonymously but it does not guarantee ur privacy, if u are using accounts linked to you personally those apps will send private data no matter what and your device will be identified.

What ROM are you rocking at the moment? Any ROMs you generally recommend? Complete forks from CAF, or AOSP ROMs with CAF optimisations? Thinking of ArrowOS or LineageOS + GApps.. Don't need Pixel-features, just GApps ^^

Have already heard about this rom. Its privacy oriented?
really nice topic the privacy stuff really becomes more and more important in the same manner like using Google apps. I tried many roms lineage / aicp / crdroid and now I am good with corvus. but the best you can do is install a pihole with anti telemetry lists on it and tunnel your devices with wireguard or OpenVPN over your own network than you even can run stock rom
