Installing microG is more involved than a standard app and its components can include modified versions of essential Google apps, including components that interact with Google Account Manager. Some custom installation packages for microG make use of a pre-configured GAM component to handle account login, allowing the phone to recognize a Google account without the full Google Services Framework installed.
