If you don't care about losing your current data just reboot into recovery, wipe Data, Cache and Dalvik (perform a "Factory reset") and, without rebooting, install LineageOS for microG.
If you instead don't want to lose your current data, you can use our migration ZIP, that replaces the LineageOS' keys with ours. However, if you have installed unofficial builds of:
you have to uninstall them before the ROM migration. You also have to uninstall the GApps if you have previously installed them.
Finally download the migration ZIP and a build of LineageOS for microG (make sure the ZIP you're installing is newer than the current installed ROM, if it is not, wait for the next build), reboot in recovery, install the migration ZIP and, without rebooting, install LineageOS for microG.
First, open the "microG Settings" app and check if everything is OK in the "Self-Check" section; you will probably have to give microG some permissions, like location and file access. The UnifiedNlp section will have some issues: that's normal, we haven't configured it yet.
UnifiedNlp is the microG Network Location Provider, which provides the current location of the device without the use of the GPS. While Google's NLP can only use Google's servers for positioning, UnifiedNlp obtains the geolocation through different plugins, which interface to different services.
By default there are two plugins installed:
If you want to use these plugins, go to microG Settings -> UnifiedNlp Settings, configure and enable both.
If you instead want different plugins (like the LocalGsmNlpBackend, which uses a local offline database of the GSM towers to obtain the location) you can download them in F-Droid and enable them in the same way.
Reboot and check whether UnifiedNlp is correctly set up in the "Self-Check" section of the "microG Settings" app.
You should add microG's repository to F-Droid, so that you can easily update microG's packages. On your device, follow this link and open microG's F-Droid link in F-Droid (or scan the QR code) to add the repository.
Moreover, you have the F-Droid Privileged Extension installed by default, why not use it? To make a good use of it go to the F-Droid Settings and enable auto updates.
Many apps rely on the Google Cloud Messaging, a Google proprietary system to push notifications to your device. This feature is implemented in microG but, as not every user requires it, is disabled by default. If you need it, enable the "Google Device registration" and the "Google Cloud Messaging" features in the "microG Settings" app.
If you want the weather features of LineageOS (like in the lock screen or in the cLock widget) you have to download a weather provider from here. Choose your favorite one, install it and configure it in cLock (or in Settings → Apps → Gear icon → Weather).
If you don't want to enable "Unknown sources" you can also import the PlayMaker demo repository in F-Droid (by adding this URL to F-Droid) and download it from there.
Our ROM doesn't include root by default for security reasons, but you can easily install it: go here, download the appropriate ZIP and install it from the recovery.
Twrp recovery version 3.0.3 by jemmini. why jemmini didn't make updates to new version. Thanks jemmini.
Why all of this? Isn't OpenGApps free software?
Yes and no, the name "OpenGApps" is misleading. While
OpenGApps uses free
software to retrieve and bundle the GApps, the apps
themselves are not free software, they are in fact the same
Google Apps you find on a new phone.
Why should I use microG instead of the
standard Google Play Services?
First of all, freedom. I can't explain here why free software
is so important (this is a FAQ, not a 200 pages manual), but
if you're interested you can start by reading this.
Second, the Play Services are very expensive in terms of
resources, they drain lots of battery and they use lots of
space, while microG requires much less resources. To give you
an idea, the smallest possible package of OpenGApps ("Pico
Package") on ARM 7.1 is ~125 MB, while the full microG suite
(GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore, MozillaNlpBackend and
NominatimNlpBackend) is ~4 MB.
Isn't Android free software? Can't I just
install LineageOS without both GApps and microG?
Android is based on the AOSP project, which is free software.
However many common features are handled by the proprietary
GApps, generally by the Google Play Services. You can use
LineageOS without GApps/microG, but you will probably miss
something. In particular, you won't have the:
With microG these services (and many others) are reimplemented.
It has patch sim stok.
It has patch sim stock, for this peoples with Russian versions or european version that it don't detect they sim, dual sim, wifi and etc. All thanks for me and all 4pda.ru
Which is the current status of zte blade a610? Why lineage don't make official zte blade a610 version 15?
See
here.
It has dualboot patcher.
I send device info to the developer of dualboot patcher and she denied to make it official. So here you have in section other things dual boot patcher unofficially. refused
(multiple
times) to include the patch, try forcing us to make it unofficially
project.
Wait, on their
FAQ page Under Construction I see that they don't want to include the patch
for security reasons. Is this ROM unsafe?
No. LineageOS' developers hide behind the "security reasons"
shield, but in reality they don't care enough about the
freedom of their users to risk to upset Google by giving them
an alternative to the Play Services.
The signature spoofing could be an unsafe feature only if the
user blindly gives any permission to any app, as this
permission can't be obtained automatically by the apps.
Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we
modified the signature spoofing permission so that only
system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat
is posed to our users.
Under Construction Do you use test keys?
Heck, no! We sign all our builds with our own private
keys.
Under Construction Do you offer OTA updates?
Yes, once every two days.
Under Construction Do you offer delta updates?
Not currently, but it can be done if there's real demand.
Can I install apps from the Play Store on
this ROM?
F-Droid is not included in our ROM, so you can freely download
all the FOSS apps on their repositories.
However, if you need apps which are available only on the
Play Store, you're free to host your personal instance of
PlayMaker (see
this demo) or GPlayWeb and
connect it to your F-Droid client, Playmaker will let you
download apps from the Play Store and install them via
F-Droid. Another solution is to use a local app, like
Yalp Store.
Do I have to enable "Unknown sources" to
install apps in F-Droid?
Our ROM don't includes "F-Droid Privileged Extension", which allows
F-Droid to install and update apps without the need of user
interaction or the unsafe "Unknown sources" option. So you need to enable unknown sources.
Under Construction Can you add support for my device? It is
officially supported by LineageOS
Yes, no problem. Ask for it in
our thread specifying the codename of your
device.
Can you add support for my device? It is not
supported by LineageOS though...
No, I'm sorry.
I don't trust your build, I want to build it
myself!
No problem! Our builds are done manually. And if you want you can build it alone this
Docker image, feel free to build it yourself.
Under Construction I am running a custom build of LineageOS,
but yours is way cooler! How can I migrate to it without
losing my data?
Replace the LineageOS official keys in our migration ZIP
with your keys (or follow the suggestions in the
LineageOS migration guide).
