Gmscore: Gmail, Google Duo, Google Play Games are not logging in with microG 0.2.4-107

Created on 5 Jan 2018 · 13Comments · Source: microg/GmsCore

I'm running a LineageOS 14.1 ROM (Nexus 6) which has microG rolled in ( https://download.lineage.microg.org/shamu/lineage-14.1-20180102-microG-shamu.zip ) and the above apps don't let me sync correctly, Gmail gets stuck at adding an account (though when I have auto-sync enabled, I get notifications for new emails and can see the subject line in the notification popup), Duo doesn't let me send a SMS correctly to register the device, Play Games just won't recognize the fake-Play-Store/FakeStore whatever, I have tried connecting 2 different Google accounts. The versions of the above apps were the ones I grabbed from my device using a backup tool, so they are recent. (One of the screenshots attached shows that the device registration is disabled, whereas it is actually enabled.)

You can't add an account if there is already, for Gmail you just have to grant contact permission in Android settings and restart the app; it will now see the account.

Another issue connected to this is that WhatsApp won't connect to Drive for backup purposes (local backup works fine however).

Did you completely wipe the phone (system and data partitions) before flashing the ROM? There was a similar issue with another microg compiled image that was not cleaning system at installation.

@JonnyTech yes I did

@ale5000-git thanks, that worked for Gmail. Is that something that will always work that way or will it be fixed in a later version? I'd prefer to keep using this ROM if possible. Is OmniROM better for microG, I'm not clear if there are just problems with LineageOS + microG because the 3rd party provider thing ( https://blogs.fsfe.org/larma/2016/microg-signature-spoofing-security/) ?
Duo/Play Games still won't let me register, even after granting full permissions.

This isn't a bug (the one of Gmail), I think that even with GApps if the permission isn't granted it doesn't see the account.

Google Play Games isn't yet supported, see #163; it need time for this (probably a lot).

For Google Duo I don't know, I will try when I have time.

@ale5000-git that's cool, thanks for your work.

Hi, I think I am having this issue with whatsapp. I want to download my google drive backup, so I add my account, and download the google drive app. But in whatsapp it only gives me the option to add a new google account, the one I added for google drive does not show up. When I try to add it by following the prompt whatsapp gave me, it just says "this account already exists on your device". I checked, whatsapp has contacts permission. Must have tried a dozen times now :D Sadly this would be a dealbreaker for me, I really need these chat logs.

I am having the same Problem with Google duo (sms cannot be sent to Register my device). Do you still have this Problem?

still does not work (added permissions). Gmail even asked me for access to my address (throuh notification). Still cannot login. No google accounts visible, just "add an email address" button. "TAKE ME TO GMAIL" creates "Please add at least one email address" dialog
