I think you only need Shizuku when u’re installing the app, there’s no need for it to be running in the background at all times, and in fact that might be insecure. Turn off wireless debugging too when not using shizuku. Don’t use Revanced, Morphe is infinitely better. I think u’re prob using MicroG RE on ur old phone which is a fork of microg by the morphe team which only works with their youtube app (?) and is a much leaner version of the real microg, but “vegan” is prob a better word to describe it than “leaner” because it’s missing most of the features and is probably only made to be used with morphe apps, not with normal apps. So it doesn’t replace the real microg, other than for morphe apps. I just downloaded nord vpn (which is not recommended to use for privacy) just to test it and was able to reach the Sign up / Login screen without issues, altho my aurora store is using MicroG Companion as the installer source rather than Shizuku. Do u get to this screen as well or like, when do u get the Google Play pop-up? I guess to fully emulate ur phone i would have to disable my microg to emulate not having a Google Play Services handler at all. According to Aurora Store’s page (which isn’t always accurate), under the Compatability category (powered by Plexus) it says Requires Google Play Services in yellow/orange font.

BASIC and STRONG integrity require a google account to pass, but DEVICE integrity doesn’t, as far as i know. But all 3 need either Google Play Services (GPS) or MicroG. Since you have GPS disabled (which is a great thing for debloating ur phone!), all 3 integrity checks will fail. We still don’t know if the app actually uses the Play Integrity API, that’s just a speculation. But if it ONLY checks for DEVICE integrity and u re-enable GPS, it could work. But then u’d have to re-enable GPS, which of course sucks. Assuming u’re using Aurora Store 4.8.4, install Shizuku on ur phone (or a fork that supports Android 17, make sure it shares the same package name as the original shizuku), then when Shizuku is running go to Aurora Store Settings → Installation → Installation Method → pick Shizuku here. That will spoof the “installed by” record, which may or may not help. U won’t see shizuku as an option here if aurora store doesn’t detect the exact package name (moe.shizuku.privileged.api) of the original shizuki app installed on ur phone (or Sui). So a fork of shizuku that supports android 17 may not work. MicroG is not installed on most (almost all) stock phones, especially not on a samsung, idk why u’d think it is. Oh i see now, it’s because when u tried to install the microG apks the package manager asked u to “Update”, not to “Install”, so u got confused thinking microG is already installed. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. What happened is, as almost any other stock phone on the planet, ur phone came with GAPPS preinstalled. Meaning, ur phone already has Google Play Store (com.android.vending, that’s its package name) and Google Play Services (com.google.android.gms) pre-installed from the moment u bought the phone. Worse, they cannot really be removed. On android 17 (and this is not a recent change, this has been the case for years), /system is read-only. U cannot write to it, even if u had root. U probably used an app like canva or uad-ng or similar to disable or “uninstall” Google Play Store and Play Services. But those apps just call “pm disable” or “pm uninstall” respectively. They don’t actually delete the google apps from ur phone, which is literally impossible (unless u have root and u systemlessly mount over em which de-facto deletes em as far as the rest of the OS is concerned). So when u tried to install microG, which share the same package names as the real google apps (com.google.android.gms for GmsCore and com.android.vending for microG Companion), the package manager (PM) saw u already have the google apps installed on ur phone. Yes u disabled em, but they’re still there. They cannot be removed since /system is read-only. Since microG shares the same package names, PM says “update” rather than “install”, cuz from PM’s POV they’re the same apps (even tho u know microG is not the same app as the real google one). So PM sees em and then checks their signature. PM sees they have been signed by Google, so then it checks the signature of the “update” (aka the microG app). MicroG devs don’t have google’s signing keys, so ofc the signatures are different. For security reasons PM rejects the update/installation due to the signature mismatch and gives u a generic “App not installed” error. Which is why normally to install microG on a phone ur rom has to support Signature Spoofing (usually by using FakeGapps, a LSPosed module) for microG to be able to spoof google’s signatures and lie to PM and the Android OS that it’s the real google app. But, a stock phone doesn’t have signature spoofing, and without root u can’t install lsposed and fakegapps to get it, so u’re stuck here (tho there are ways to root ur device temporarily like with DFRoot but that prob wouldn’t help much). So no, u can’t really install microG on a stock locked phone and make it work. By “coding agent” one means AI. The procedure is u buy a monthly subscription to either OpenAI for ChatGPT or Antrophic for Claude and then ask their best models to patch ur app. But, they could refuse, especially claude because of guardrails. ChatGPT doesn’t refuse as much. Or, they could patch the app successfully just for u to realize the devs of this security app do a server-side check where they expect a valid token, meaning all that patching was for nothing. There’s absolutely no guarantee it will work whatsoever. And no, the free plan won’t work, free models are dumb as shit. However, antrophic offers Sonnet 5.5 for free which is a very capable model, but on the free plan u will likely run out of usage (and context window) way before sonnet gets anywhere close to finishing the patch. So, try the aurora store thing if ur app is hosted on the play store and pray.

Secure apps use smth called Google Play Integrity API. When u try to open or login inside this security app of yours, the app calls the API. Google Play Services (or microG) responds and does a server check on google’s servers to see if u meet STRONG_INTEGRITY. But since u’re not logged in with a google account it fails, since that’s a prerequisite for passing. Either that, or the app checks its installer, sees something other than Google Play Store and says fuck u. So u need to install the app through the official Play Store, not Aurora Store or sideloading. But u can’t because the stupid play store purposefully won’t let u install new apps until u login. So what are the solutions? U could try to use aurora store with adb/shizuku and spoof the installation source of the secure app. But that’s only local, it won’t trick google’s servers. No harm in trying ofc. MicroG, even if u could somehow make it work on an unrooted stock samsung phone (which u can’t because it fails the cryptographic signature check that’s why u get app not installed error), still wouldn’t help. No google account = no STRONG pass, that’s how it works. So realistically u have very few options. Since it’s a samsung, u can’t really unlock the bootloader anymore, OEM unlock is gone. No oem unlock = no root. Temporary root wouldn’t help much, and root would prob only make it worse anyway as u’d now have to also hide it. U could create a throwaway google account and use isolated profile, like a work profile or whatever, but that’s not a great solution. It’s basically giving up, admitting defeat. Profiles don’t perfectly isolate everything, so i would avoid this solution if possible. It’s like last resort but far from ideal. Ur only 2 real solutions imo are either patch the app with astra/fable/opus to strip away the play integrity check and/or the app installation source check from the code, which may still not work if they check for a valid token server-side (tho it will trick the app locally), or ask ur employer to give u a work phone. If he wants u to download some secure app for work u’re fully in ur right to ask to be provided a phone.

TDP-43 proteinopathy is a hallmark of neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia where mislocalization of TDP-43 has been observed in neurons and glial cells. However, the role of TDP-43 in microglia and the consequences of its loss of function remain unexplored. Combining magnetic resonance imaging, and confocal, and electron microscopy, we uncovered structural changes and myelin abnormalities in the early postnatal brain of mice lacking microglial TDP-43. Spatial transcriptomics further revealed an enriched interferon-responsive signature associated with oligodendrocyte dysfunction. Early depletion of microglial TDP-43 led to motor deficits in adult mice. Mechanistically, knocking out TDP-43 impaired microglial ability to engulf and degrade myelin. It also led to cryptic exon inclusion in the Tyrobp mRNA, resulting in truncated DAP12 protein, thus causing defective TREM2 signaling. Our findings reveal a role for TDP-43 in regulating
