*Please see links above for sources and additional information on the components included within this project.
For those seeking to install microG, there are some roadblocks:
- No LineageOS support for Pixel 2 / walleye. Which means,
- No LineageOS for microG for Pixel 2 / walleye. You can build it yourself but,
- No signature-spoofing support in LineageOS source; required by microG.
- Docker image is lacking documentation (and may not work at all due to wahoo/muskie/walleye's peculiar naming scheme.)
- The project this project is forked from works well, but NanoDroid's versions of GmsCore.apk are more regularly maintained.
Installation by flashing an official package would be preferred, but I was unable to succeed with this method while on Pie. I can't attribute my failure here to user error, as NanoDroid worked flawlessly on pre-Pie roms. After trying several combinations of deodexing and running patcher on non-spoofing-enabled rom, not deodexing or running patcher on spoofing-enabled rom, running patcher in TWRP/magisk-mode, etc. I decided to have my desired components installed at build-time.
Roms without built-in support for signature-spoofing can be built from source and patched to include it by applying an OS-specific patch from here.
