Cannot install MicroG on ZUI (Android 6.0.1)

Hello everyone,

Would appreciate any help, have been fighting with this issue for a few days already.

Tried to install latest MicroG on Zuk Z2 Pro, it has a custom version of Android - zui, made by Lenovo. First, I surprisingly found some Google apps there (ROM should come Google free since it is chinese), so I deleted three main components from /system/priv-app - gmscore, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginService. After that I was able to install MicroG gmscore but I am not able to run it. There is no icon on the desktop. In the settings I can see it is installed and I can uninstall it from there.

I also tried to install MicroG via recovery using Aroma installer but still no luck.

ROM obviously does not have signature spoofing but I guess it should not be a problem since on all previous ROMs I was able to launch MicroG even without signature spoofing.

It seems like zui blocks it somehow from creating an icon. I checked SafeCenter, nothing there blocking it.

Any ideas how to fix it?

No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the MicroG installation and launcher behavior on the specified ZUI and Android 6.0.1 setup, then inspect the relevant installation and app-launch diagnostics; done means identifying a reproducible cause and documenting or implementing a verified fix.
