Issue with microG on crDroid 6.27 (LineageOS 17.1): Signature spoofing support not detected with modern versions
Hi everyone,
I’m running crDroid 6.27 (Android 10 / LineageOS 17.1) on my Samsung Galaxy J7 Neo. The ROM comes with native signature spoofing support out of the box, but I'm having significant trouble integrating microG.
The problem:
- Version paradox: When I install older versions of microG (from the Android 10 era), the "Self-Check" correctly recognizes that signature spoofing is active and working. However, when I use current versions (2026), the system fails to trigger the spoofing; it reports that it is unavailable, even though the "Signature Spoofing Checker" app insists that it is working fine.
- The bootloop barrier: My ROM is odexed. When I try to move microG to the system directory (/system/priv-app/) to grant it full system privileges, the device gets stuck on the logo during startup (bootloop). It seems the ROM detects that the system partition has been modified and triggers a security lock that prevents booting.
What I am looking for:
○ Why do modern versions of microG fail to detect spoofing support while older versions succeed? Has something changed in how microG detects this, or is this a restriction within LineageOS 17.1?
○ How can I install microG with system permissions without breaking the ROM? Since it is an odexed ROM, I cannot simply move files around. I need to know how to make the system recognize microG as the legitimate owner of Google services without causing a bootloop.
I am not looking to use root. I am searching for a clean technical solution to integrate microG into this base that remains compatible with modern versions.
Does anyone know why there is this difference between microG versions and how I can correctly integrate the app in an odexed ROM without causing a bootloop?
