Description

I made a post over this, but with a different Title;

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore/issues/699

microG doesn't appear to work with the Android Setup Wizard, by trying to make a flashable Google ROM, removing GSF/Playservices and having it boot for the first time with microG.

It seems as if microG needs to placed into a Google ROM, after it has been run first, then debloat out all the Google and replace it with microG, this is not the way in which I'd like this to work.

It would be great if we can take a Google ROM, convert it with an application like SuperR's Kitchen, make it into a flashable ROM, install it in TWRP, have it boot for the first time with the Android Setup Wizard working properly, with microG, but this does not work....

I hope this can be made to work in the near future? Please do tell?

THANKS

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #699 and reproducing the reported first-boot flow with a flashable Google ROM in TWRP. Compare setup behavior with Google services removed and microG present; done means the Android Setup Wizard completes successfully on first boot with microG installed.
