Bug description

After performing a completely clean installation of the latest official crDroid Android 16 build on a OnePlus 9 Pro (lemonadep), Google Play Services successfully performs check-in but the device never becomes Play Protect certified.

Observed behavior:
• Play Store reports "Device is not certified".
• Play Integrity API returns:

• App Integrity: UNEVALUATED
• Device Integrity: UNEVALUATED
• Play Protect Verdict: UNEVALUATED
• Licensing Verdict: UNEVALUATED
  • TB Checker reports no GSF ID.

However, Google Play Services successfully completes check-in and stores a valid Android ID internally.

Evidence collected:
• checkin_id_token exists
• Checkin.xml contains:
android_id = 4427078468136666482
• /data/user/0/com.google.android.gms/databases/gservices.db exists and contains the same android_id.
• Google account login succeeds.
• Google Play Services functions normally.

However:
• /data/user/0/com.google.android.gsf/databases is never created.
• Legacy GSF state never appears to initialize.
• Device never becomes Play Protect certified.

This issue occurs on a completely clean installation before rooting. KernelSU, Zygisk, and Play Integrity Fix were only installed later for debugging and are not required to reproduce.
During investigation I verified that Google Play Services successfully completes check-in, stores a valid android_id, and creates gservices.db, but Google Services Framework never creates its own database and the Play Integrity API remains UNEVALUATED.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clean flash latest official firmware.
2. Flash latest official crDroid Android 16.
3. Reboot recovery.
4. Flash MindTheGapps ARM64 Android 16.
5. Boot system.
6. Sign into Google account.
7. Wait for Play Services check-in to complete.
8. Open Play Store.

Result:
Play Store remains "Device not certified".

Play Integrity API returns UNEVALUATED verdicts.

Google Play Services successfully performs check-in but Google Services Framework never provisions its database.

Additional context

I tested both NikGApps and MindTheGapps on clean installations with identical behavior. I also tested with and without KernelSU, Zygisk Next, and Play Integrity Fix. The issue occurs on a completely clean installation before rooting, suggesting it is not caused by root or Play Integrity modules.
