Description
Device / ROM info
- Device: OnePlus Ace 3 Pro
- ROM: crDroid (Android 15)
- Installation type:
- Tried normal user app install (via APK)
- Tried privileged system app install (/system/priv-app/GmsCore/)
- microG components installed:
- GmsCore
- GsfProxy
- FakeGApps
- microG Companion
Problem description
After installing microG on crDroid (Android 15), the GmsCore app crashes instantly when opened.
- No user data or cache directory is created for com.google.android.gms.
- No crash log is visible in adb logcat when the app crashes.
- The issue occurs both when installing as a user app and as a privileged system app.
Because of this, the app is completely unusable. Because the crash happens before logs or data are created, debugging is difficult.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the launch crash on the OnePlus Ace 3 Pro running crDroid with Android 15, testing both the normal APK installation and the /system/priv-app/GmsCore/ installation. Check adb logcat around the GmsCore launch despite the report that no crash log appears; done means the cause is identified and GmsCore no longer crashes immediately on the stated configuration.
