## Missing Google services
## Installing Play Store and microG

The Google services are not very usable without the _Google Play Store_. And to
make _Google Play Store_ work, you need _signature spoofing_ support on your
Android system.
Currently there is a way to install microG in this device, but Play Store isn´t working correctly. It´s opening, but sometimes it shows an Server Error.
After installing F-Droid, add https://microg.org/fdroid/repo to the package repositories of F-Droid.
Run a Package-Source update and install the following apps:
```
unifiedNlp
microG Service Core
```
after installation, reboot.
Download APK from ApkMirror and install as system app
(PlayStore)[https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-26-6-12-release/google-play-store-26-6-12-21-0-pr-389229320-2-android-apk-download/]
Download APK and install as normal app
(GSF)[https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-services-framework/google-services-framework-5-1-1743759-release/google-services-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/]

Manually adding _signature spoofing_ is complicated. There are tools which allow
to do that easily - but these are installed within [custom recovery](#custom-recovery).
Now open the Play Store and log in.
Then uninstall the google services framework and you'll get an working play store with microG.


In fact, if you make _custom recovery_ work, you can also install all the google
services through _microG_ which is also installed from within _custom recovery_.

This will give you access to _Google Maps_, _Gmail_, _Youtube_, and all the other
services provided by Google and required by a lot of other Apps.
