Google Backup

I am on dev MIUI 10 Beta 8.7.6 and Google backup of the device is not working. The option in System & device / Additional Setting/ Backup and Reset / Google Backup & Reset / Back up my data is set to on, but when I check in backups folder of Google Drive my Mi8 is not showing...
It could have helped when after having wait bootloader unlock for 360 hours I will l be able to move to xiaomi.eu rom , to reinstall 150+ apps... !
It seems that most of the problems I encounter (location using Wifi / Contacts sync / backup) are related to google services. I have installed google services with the dedicated app, tried to clear data and cache for Play Store and all other google services, but still the same
Any clue ?
Do you know if Google services are working better with Xiaomi.eu rom ??

Flash xiaomi.eu or wait for global rom.

332 hours to wait for bootloader unlocking !!!

[MODULE] Google Contacts Storage (works with Google Phone)

DESCRIPTION
If you have the Pixel Experience module installed on your phone and installed Google Phone from the Play Store or ever tried to use a patched Google Phone version (such as this one), you may have noticed that Google Phone force closes when you try to search for a contact or while opening the keypad. This Magisk module attempts to fix that and it works by replacing your non-AOSP contacts storage with Google's own version, the one supported by Google Phone.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Supports Android versions from Android 7 (Nougat) to Android P.
It will remove any phone/dialer/contacts/people applications from your phone (if supported) because they are incompatible with Google's Contacts Storage.
You should only install this module if you want/need to use Google Phone and Google Contacts.
TESTED/SUPPORTED DEVICES
HTC 10 (Sense based ROMs).
Note: It should work with other devices but I have no means no test them myself, I can only rely on the community to test this for me.
SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS
Install the Magisk module as usual but DO NOT reboot your device just yet.
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and disable "Automatically sync data".
Go into "Settings » Apps" a, look for "Contacts Storage" (it's a system app) and clear application data.
Reboot your device now!
Go into "Settings » Accounts & Sync" and enable "Automatically sync data".
Google Phone should now work without force closing, hopefully.
Note: If you ever want/need to disable this module, you should also follow the procedure above (disable module, disable data synchronization, clear contacts storage data, reboot, and re-enable contacts synchronization).
DISCLAIMER
Install this module at your own risk.
Developer is not responsible for what you do on your device.
Please take all necessary precautions (like a nandroid backup) before installing this module.

@rfgamaral after installing magisk module and rebooting i keep getting android.process.acore has stopped.
I cannot get rid of it. By pressing ok all the time i managed to arrive to Apps but there is no Contact Storage app to clear data/cache after the reboot.

I also got that error when developing this module but I never got it after installing/enabling it, only after disabling it.
For some reason, the system does not recognize the /system/priv-app/ContactsProvider/ContactsProvider.apk (although the file is there). I'm not sure how to fix this to be honest, so I recommend you restore your backup to get you back to a working state. Maybe try the whole process again (makre sure you follow every single step) and instead of rebooting the system after installing the module, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik/ART and cache. If that doesn't help, restore the device again until a solution for this problem is found.
Like I said, I also had this problem and because I live on the edge, I didn't make a backup of my system (idiot me). I had to make the system recognize the ContactsProvider.apk file and wen into recovery, deleted, copied it back from my ROM, set proper folder/file permissions, wiped dalvik/ART and cache and rebooted, the problem was gone. I installed my module again and it worked. But I'm honestly afraid to disable it and get that error back.
Which is weird because I'm replacing this file systemlessly, that's the whole point of Magisk. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, I'm no expert... We'll probably need help from someone with more knowledge on the whole Android system. But for the record, I currently have the version available on this thread installed on my phone. I have the Pixel Experience module installed and installed Google Phone from the store, it doesn't force close and all features seem to be working. I just need to get this module stable.

@stathis95194 Were you able to restore your device? I hope so... I've uploaded a new test version, didn't change much, not sure if it fixes anything.

@rfgamaral soooo after flashing 0.0.4 i faced the same issue with android.process.acore has stopped popping all the time.
This time i took a different approach and didn't restore my nandroid. Instead i dirty flashed my LeeDroid rom.
Rebooted and lo and behold, stock dialer and contacts were missing and google phone was working perfectly. No crashing on searching (nearby places is working)
Now i need to test caller id and spam filter
I will keep testing and let you know.

Awesome, glad you got it working.
Now I just need to understand why installing this module crashes android.process.acore... But it's a bummer that this is happening, a little price to pay, I guess? At least until a fix is found... That and that whole install procedure which is required to avoid other different crashes because of incompatible storages.

Hi
I'm running 2.42.400.3 on U11.
I installed this and google phone from
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
Dialer kept crashing so I installed your mod.
After that,com.android .phone keeps crashing.
I unistalled it and then I got acore crashing.
I restored feom nandroid but for some reason kept getting the acore crash, so I completely uninstalled magisk.
Now.... everything works. Even the dialer.
I'm really not sure what happened but.... thanks

Xiaomi Mi8 Play Market Error 192

Finally unlocked bootloader and installed HavocOS to my Xiaomi with all needed wipes: data, system, cache. However, I've faced an issue with Play Market downloads. When I try to download a large app it goes up to 100% and then starts over, stops at 2% and awaits for wi-fi connection ( though I am connected over Wi-Fi). It is the same for all apps over 1Gb in size (e.g. PUBG, Asphalt 9 and so on). Also tried to clear cache and data for Play Market, Google Play Services and no good too.
I've tried to reinstall ROM, gapps, tried Xiaomi EU Rom (stable) and got the same error there. I guess it has something to do with security, so I've tried different google account - but result was the same.
Please suggest any resolution

Just bought this phone myself. But this my guess based on my experience with other devices.
I suspect that your play store status is uncertified?
I am sure it is!
You need to fix that first, then play store function should return to normal.
The easiest way to resolve this issue without reinstallation to use the Magisk Module : Magiskhide Props Config
Next go to the main page for that module and read the instructions ( Google it)
Note, you must also install Termus and enter commands per instructions on Op page for the module. Trust me it's easy.
Essentially you are changing the fingerprints to a Play Store certified device (It only works as long as the module and Magisk stays installed)
I have attached screenshots from my other phone, where I had the same issue and resolved it.

microG installer Revived major issue - pls help!!!

Guys I'm in a major fix here. Any help would be appreciated.
K20 Pro Global Version - Currently on MIUI Global 11.0.1.0(QFKMIXM)
Rooted via Magisk
Everything was perfectly fine until I noticed 'microG installer Revived' on Magisk and decided to install it.
After I rebooted, Youtube Vanced wouldn't open stating that it won't run without Google Play Services. Same issue with Gmail as well. I went into the microG settings and accepted all the missing permissions. Added my Gmail account, signed in and accepted all the other permission pop-ups that came after.
Despite this everything is still messed up. Gmail and Youtube still gives the same error msg and Chrome keeps crashing.
I tried uninstalling microG but that was an even bigger mistake as the Google Play Services I installed via apk kept crashing.
If someone could pls guide me on how to get the system to how it was prior to the microG installation :crying:

So I managed to fix it somewhat. Uninstalled microG then installed the right version of Google Play services as well as the calendar and contacts sync apks.
No more crash messages but the issue I'm having now is that some app notifications don't work and others (such as Whatsapp) work only sometimes.
And for some really weird reason my Gmail no longer is (or has the option) in dark mode.
Anyway to fix these issues guys?

I've the same problem with my Huawei Mediapad M5 tablet. I've tried to reflash the original "SYSTEM.img" from fastboot mode, but nothing changed. I don't want to do a full reinstall because of this mistake, is there any solution?

Messing with microG is a recipe for disaster because in and of itself it is disastrous, reflash the firmware from scratch and use the Vanced magisk version even though it isn't the last version it works just fine

It's an absolute nightmare, not sure why the devs don't just update the Magisk version, and I agree the Magisk version works perfectly fine

MicroG works only on systems that don't have GAPPS. That should have been included in the documentation.

I had the same problem (I installed the microG installer revived on a cell phone that had google play services, which caused me that error; I installed the magisk module without knowing what it was for), I solved it by doing the following:
1. Uninstall micro-g and google play services and then restart the terminal.
2. Download and Install (install as system application with lucky patcher) the latest version of the google play services apk, restart.
3. Log out or remove google account from device, reboot device.
4. Login or add google account on the device again, restart the device for the last time; and voila problem solved.

I can't remove my account for some reason, and also I can't add a new google account

Hi Guys, have the same problem. has anyone found a solution? would hate to reset it

Trying to work out what it could be for the first post. It sounds like MicroG was installed while the Google Play services were already on the device.
I have actually manually removed Google Services using the debloater magisk module and run it via terminal.
I'm currently using CrDroid Android 12 and it's working fine with MicroG revived version. I have been testing the Android 13 with MicroG and have issues with the Play Store signing in

Mate 40 pro gms

Hello guy i managed to get gms semi working, I dont know what to do next
Tried everything i dont have any ideas anymore hope somebody can use this and make it working
Playstore gets data but u cant download it crashes
Play services is version 7.3.29
Services framework is version 4.4.4(newer doesnt work)
Account manager version 7.1
Youtube works with account but sometimes crashes

Perhaps if you share the steps someone can use that info and make it happen.

Okay
1. Installed lzplay
2. Installed googlefier
3.installed only microg gms from googlefier and logged in with my account
4.I disabled microg gms trough adb so that account stays loged in while uninstalling(there is tutorial how to disable apps)
5. Installed Services framework version 4.4.4
6. Installed google account manager version 7.1
7. Installed google play services version 7.3.29
8. Instaled Playstore
9. If playstore wont open just go airplaine mode and delete data of playstore and services framework
Playstore opens and gets all data u can search everything but when u click download it crashes if u want working youtube u need to update google play services to this one i put here but when u install this apk i get error that this device is not play certified
Edit: uploaded all apks that i used,except play services 7.3.29 you will have to download it from apkmirror(i doesnt want to upload)

Please specify: China only device with Harmony, not with EMUI.

On Chinese models, GMS should be fully functional, as far as I know.

Well, as i've searched on youtube it's complicated to sideload GMS on HarmonyOS for chinese devices, no matter if it's Mate 40 Pro or P50 Pro, it's complicated...

But in the video says EMUI 12 and NOH-NX9, the Chinese model it's not the same as far as I know.

it is a big step ahead, hope someone will find out the complete solution. how about downgrade to EMUI 11 and try the steps one more time?

Hi!
I'm using Mate 40 Pro (C432 - HW-EU => NOH-N29).
It's rather easy to downgrade using the HiSuite from EMUI 12 down to 11.
In my case I'm setting up the Hi Suite Proxy (3.3) downloaded from it's official page:
Releases · ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy
Modifying HiSuite and manipulating it's connection data to install Roms before they officially get released. - ProfessorJTJ/HISuite-Proxy
github.com
Just install HiSuite, Hi Suite Proxy, patch the HiSuite, start up the phone and connect.
I additionally turned on the Programmer Mode in the phone.
Once connected via HiSuite, in the UPDATE section, except the UPGRADE (if available) it allows to install another variant -> in my case it's allowing to DOWNGRADE (Roll-back) down to EUMI 11 (in my case: 11.0.0.253).
IMPORTANT - it's deleting/erasing all the data, so before ANY actions it's wise to backup the files on the phone.
After downgrading I was trying many methods:
- LZPlay / G-Play,
- Googlefier,
- MicroG (several variants, including the one where it allows to use different 'ID's' -> i.e. Nexus X5 (which worked partially in opposite to other sollutions).
- LightHouse -> variant available on AppStore (Huwaei) isn't working, but the one downloaded from this forum did allow me to create the Google account.
Unfortunately any mixes/fixes of GPS, GFS, Account Managers, Google Play Store - are recognizing and forgeting the accounts, while attempting to remove the MicroG or LightHouse.
Perhaps you can help by explaining how to freeze the MicroG (by ADB?) and I'll be able to move-on.
My goals are:
- make the Android Auto to run;
- make the GApps -> Google Assistant, Chrome (with sync), Google Calendar to work;
