Help needed: Xposed FakeGapps not working on P8 Gratitude V3

I'm going slightly mad...
Removed all google Apps; Installed latest xposed v86 (after pre-installed didn't work, too) and FakeGapps 1.1. Also installed microG from f-droid. All went fine, no errors. When I use microG self-check, however, it tells me my system doesn't spoof signatures. And of course no apps (phonesky, GmsCore) have got correct signatures. Xposed logs are empty.
Any advice?
Thanks.

install again all google Apps

Seriously? I want to get rid of them!

Hello,
I have the same problem (Ascend P7 with Android 5.1.1, magisk, phh superuser, systemless xposed 86.5).
Removed all Gapps, installed fakegapps 1.1 and microg core+framework+droidguard helper.
System spoofs signature on microg self-check: off.
xposed log empty (note: xposed saves it to storage/emulated/0/xposedinstaller instead of data/data/de.robv.../log)
tilleulenspiegel: did you manage to get a workaround to it?

Used android 11 with LSposed : added/enabled gmscore to fakegapps module and now it works

A Few Magisk/Substratum Questions

I just recently did a full fastboot restore. In the past I've always used SuperSU, this time I went with Magisk. Glad I did because it's great. I love that you can fastboot boot TWRP and leave the system read-only and still flash Magisk. I have some Magisk questions that hopefully someone can clear up for me that Googling isn't making clear:
1: The option in Magisk's settings for Systemless Adblock Hosts - does enabling that work with the normal AdAway that you get from F-Droid? Or is that specifically for the Unified Ad Hosts module within Magisk?
2: Does using the normal AdAway break safety net & the ability to take an OTA down the road (if hosts & Magisk are removed)?
3: Does the Unified Ad Hosts module need to be used, or is the normal AdAway OK to use? Or is it that module intended to be used alongside AdAway?
4: I noticed a Greenify4Magisk module - does this module need to be installed in order to use Greenify? I'm used to systemless SuperSU which Greenify just worked. Looking for clarity on Greenify + Magisk.
5: Does using the Xposed Magisk Module allow for Gravity Box customization, that then can be reverted in order to take an OTA? Using the standard Xposed + Systemless SuperSU and removing it later would still leave traces behind that caused OTA's to fail, is the purpose of the dedicated Magisk Xposed modules to solve this issue?
6: (Not Magisk related): Does using a simple Substratum navbar theme (or any Substratum Legacy theme) & then removing it break OTA's? I like to change my navbar to the Pixel one, but still want to easily take the OTA when it arrives next century...

I can answer a couple of these.
1) the add-on for adblocking in magisk is separate from adblock. You have to use a terminal app to update your HOSTS file.
4) Greenify works just fine without the module. To the best of my knowledge the module you are referring to is for using boost mode on Greenify, which basically allows apps you have hibernated with gcm functionality to still receive gcm push updates.

I was under the impression after reading up on ad away that the systemless hosts toggle in magisk handles ad away as well, and is not just for the ad blocking module with terminal emulator.
Ad away is ok to use and the module I believe the module is not needed. Magisk systemless hosts is compatible with ad away

1: The option in Magisk's settings for Systemless Adblock Hosts - does enabling that work with the normal AdAway that you get from F-Droid? Or is that specifically for the Unified Ad Hosts module within Magisk?

Yes it works, fully compatible, does not trigger SafetyNet, no need for Unified Ad Hosts module.
2: Does using the normal AdAway break safety net & the ability to take an OTA down the road (if hosts & Magisk are removed)?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It does break, it edit hosts files directly in system folder, use it with Magisk and systemless hosts enabled for SafetyNet certification
3: Does the Unified Ad Hosts module need to be used, or is the normal AdAway OK to use? Or is it that module intended to be used alongside AdAway?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Normal AdAway if you have "systemless hosts" activated in Magisk Manager
4: I noticed a Greenify4Magisk module - does this module need to be installed in order to use Greenify? I'm used to systemless SuperSU which Greenify just worked. Looking for clarity on Greenify + Magisk.

Not needed, it just enable the boost mode for Greenify without triggering SafetyNet

It does (my own experience), but IT'S NOT THE PURPOSE OF DEDICATED MAGISK XPOSED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE, but it solved for me. (of course you need android Marshmallow 6.x.x, Nougat 7.x.x does not have Xposed)
6: (Not Magisk related): Does using a simple Substratum navbar theme (or any Substratum Legacy theme) & then removing it break OTA's? I like to change my navbar to the Pixel one, but still want to easily take the OTA when it arrives next century...

I'm not sure about this one '^^, but if it changes stuff in system folder will **** up the OTA.

you download the zip file, and you copy and paste the commands while your phone is connected to the computer, "file name" is the file path where the zip is stored on your computer

As far as I believe Arise doesn't work with 8.1 (could be wrong) But I use a magisk Module Viper4Magisk or whatever it's called will install V4A works fine I tried a Dolby Oreo zip on the Arise thread but it didn't show in app drawer so not sure if that installed correctly hope that helps :good:

Fwiw, I used this with Magisk 15.2 in a clean install of 8.1. Working without issue

ARISE itself works with 8.1, some of the modules are incompatible though, waiting (hunting) for a fix

It doesn't actually give you dual speakers though? My understanding is that one side is a speaker and the other is a microphone.

It uses the speaker and the earpiece for audio, similar to the iphones

How do you get Viper to work? Which prompts are the correct ones? After installing 2.5 with everything else it gives me an I/O error on installing the driver. I'm on LineageOS 15.2 btw.

First of all are you on aml viper? ARISE doesn't work with 8.1 and i'm talking to some of the devs about fixing this issue. I've had some experience with LOS, it may be throwing an error because of the rom or because there are some other things LOS has by default that is interfering with viper. The builds are unstable, my advice would be to switch to crDroid because it is LOS based, but is made for audio. I'm not sure what you mean by prompts but I have been hitting the vol up key both times and it works for me on the Pixel Dust rom

I changed the v4a guide, you don't need the permissive module, maybe that's what's crashing it?

It didn't "crash" per se, it just wouldn't install the necessary driver after the package was installed. I'll try it with the module disabled and see if it works. Do I still need the permissive module for the other mods? Or just when they're being installed?

No Magisk modules support Android P

Are there any Magisk modules that supports Android P, imtrying to flash viper and it gives me a error saying unable to extract zip file. I never had this issue on any previous os

Viper unity installs but not compatible. You tube Vanced works.

How did you install viper?

i Have Android P with magisk modules working perfectly, viper and youtube vanced included
you have to update magisk (16.7) and give all the permissions

how can i find 16.7

Change your update types to beta vs stable in magisk settings

Fyi,. If one is woud like to upgrade the audio on the essential, you can do so by just changing two booleans to true. Must be rooted, but navigate to root/vendor/build. prop, next change the 2 dolby ds2 lines from false, to true, then hit save and reboot. One enables and the other forces the audio to bypass to this setting. So ds2 enable, and ds2 bypass.set to true. The phone is a bit louder but has far better audio. Which in my opinion it already sounds great beforehand. This just gives it a little boost. See screenshot.

Hi there any magisk module that you recommend for the essential ph1

I can attest the systemizer magisk module works as well on Pie.

no root adblocker works

Using official 15.1 and I have tried to use adblockers but they are not working I have used energized with systemless root on magisk, that didn't work also tried adaway with and without using systemless root and problem still there. Can't use adblockers. Only have 4 magisk modules running which is busybox, cloudflare, lkt and magiskhide props config.
Any help with this as its annoying.
