First, if you experience an bootloop, use [Magisk Safe Mode](https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/faq.html#q-i-installed-a-module-and-it-bootlooped-my-device-help) to disable the module and use an older Play Store APK, then post a bug report. This module needs to be updated for new Play Store versions every while. If it boots, but Play Store is broken, it's probably a microG issue. Feel free to report issues in the bugtracker here though.

Get an Play Store APK (I suggest the [patched Play Store by Nanolx](https://nanolx.org/fdroid/repo/Phonesky_132.apk)). Then put it into `/data/adb/` named `Phonesky.apk`(`/data/adb/Phonesky.apk`). You need to do that only once. If you now install, update or reflash microG Installer Revived there will be an message "Installing real Play Store". This indicates it worked. Now grant all permissions. You can now install updates for the Play Store like for every app.

Hi @nift4 , I have a question about this change. Previously I use your module and patched Play Store by Nanolx in my Pixel 2, and it works fine. Then after I read that now you suggest using the unpatched Play Store, I replace the Phonesky.apk with the newer version from APKMirror, then reinstall your module. Unfortunately, the installation keeps crashing (stop before the "Installing real Play Store" message shows up. So I'm copying back the old Phonesky.apk and the module reinstalled successfully. But I cannot use the Play Store anymore, it keeps saying I'm offline. Already purge the cache and data, but no luck. What should I do to fix it? Should I open issue about this? Please advise, thanks.

Thank you for your reply, sorry it took me a while because afterward, it kept crashing, so I tried removing the module and starting all over again using the patched version of the Play Store. Although the message is successful while "Installing real Play Store", it never installed. So no Play Store on my Pixel 2 with LOS20.

Curious, I fresh install my other device Xperia Z3 Compact with LOS18.1, then put newest Play Store apk from APKMirror as you suggested, and it works just fine. For now I cannot fresh install my Pixel 2, since it is my daily driver.

Anyway, thank you for your hard work on this module @nift4

do I understand correctly, you can also use a conventional playstore that works like the patched one under microg?
