Introduction:
Most users propably run proprietary apps from Google by one of the three reasons "Stock ROM", "integrated within custom rom" (which may be not entirely legal) or "installed from gapps zip".
Some of the users know that those gapps do track them more than most other apps as they are system-apps and therefor got full rights on android.
Only few users use cyanogenmod or another rom without gapps and leave without it. This solution however is not great as you wont get updates for your apps that regularly and all over googles apps are not bad in functionality (but in privacy)
I am one of those who do they everyday work without google stuff and without gapps. I found out several problems:
Some apps do not install because of missing Google Maps API
Some apps fc at startup bacause of missing Maps API or market license check issues
Some apps hardcoded links to several Google Apps and therefor fc or react unexpectedly on certain cases.
No access to Play Store (i tried nearly every alternative market, but nothing is as good for free apps as play store) Meanwhile, F-Droid provides nearly everything you need
So i started developing what i named the NOGAPPS package - a set of applications and frameworks with the goal to fill the gap of missing gapps package.
This project will be continued under the name microG Project.
Parts of this project:
Maps API v1
A replacement of the often used google maps api with an open source one using OpenStreetMap.

This project's goal is to make android a real open source project - where real means good for everyday use, without stalking google apps.

Interesting. One would assume these could be legally integrated into a custom ROM as well? Would make things easier for people who install custom ROMs often (switching between different ROMs/builds etc.) I'm sure.

Yes. I want this to be as open as possible. I am going to publish the sourcecode under apache license when its ready, so everybody is free to change what he likes. (Some of the upstream librarys i use are licensed under gpl so at the moment it seems like not everything can be apache licensed, however gpl should be enough for most usecases and maybe i will recode some of the stuff if need)
This is really awesome! This would be the ideal addition to custom roms.
It always bothered my that i have to install the gapps only to get access to market.
You think about adding own syncprovider so one can use the calendar without creating a google account. I found a small apk for this purpose but open-source solution is always better.
Adding Gapps to a custom rom is only illegal for developers to do, because that from can be flashed to non licensed android devices. A end user can legally install gapps to any rom he is running as long as his device is licensed to have google apps on it, so if your device comes with gapps in its stock state, than you can re add them to any other rom you put on your devive.

Syncprovider isnt so easy as you think. I tried it myself with the sample at google developers but the ruby-Code isnt visible with their system so he must write the serverside-code himself.
But i think this Projekt is very intresting and the android-market-api sounds intersting to me.

I love people with ideas like yours.
There has been such an Project in the early days of Android.
Too bad it got deserted over time. Nice that somebody started it again.
The name back then was cooler, though. Lol
No seriously: Hope this is going somewhere. Looks promising :good:
aah found it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=564263
what a mess.
cool more diversity in android and more chance for diversity.
and a more open android
Is this going to get rid of the google account from android
aptoide-- is a good marketplace(repository based market) --( think it is open source)
k9mail --open source email client
osmand-- one of the open source map applications-- get the app off the google page for a free pro version)
dragon go-- voice to text-- not open source but an alternative
I wish you the best of luck on this project and I hope it is a great success!
I have to ask though, why choose Apple for Network Location? I don't see how Apple is any better than Google. I skimmed through the link you posted but I'm still not convinced... perhaps I'm being too skeptical :laugh:
It would be awesome if the contacts / calendar providers were written to allow a configurable server address. Then anyone could run their own server on a home network or vps. Of course the server would have to be open source too, but I'm sure it will.

I needed to use a good data source and the only one I know is Google's one (correct me if I'm wrong). Apple uses Google's data, but their API has an completely different approach: Google wants you to send them all wireless and phone networks, your Google account, Android device id, phone number, ... and returns your Geo location. As there is nothing to be cacheable (your wireless networks change probably minutely), you do these requests many times a day. Apple's API let you simply send them one single wifi Mac and they return its location and those in the environment of 250m. The exact location is calculated on the device and you may cache results so you may end up with a database with all necessary data to locate you
here you have been before (or next to this place) without any further data connection.

I planned to use CardDAV and CalDAV for that. There are several open source servers that support both, including open source Microsoft exchange clone zarafa. (But you probably want to use exchange active sync with zarafa)
I would be happy to test.
what a fantastic idea! I can foresee some problems, as Android versions upgrade again, however I'm all for it!
(I also find it funny Apple's API is more open then Google's LMFAO )
But I'm wrong or this is the same goal of the replicant project? replicant.us

Sony Xperia Z1 Compact (D5503) [Amami]
D5503 AIO thread
I just wanted to collect lots of stuff at one place. Did this for my previous phone, and people told me it was very useful.
So thought I'd do the same with my Z1C.
First of all
I am not responsible for ANY bricked device! You are modding your phone at your own risk.
Drivers for ADB and FASTBOOT is essential to almost all modding. Very easily done with: 15 seconds ADB Installer by Snoop05 @ xda
Eventually: Android SDK | Guide by demkantor.
When modding, especially flashing ROMs, stuff might get lost. Backup stuff you want to keep. Easy with tools such as: MyPhoneExplorer, Super Backup, Titanium Backup or others. (Use Google)

If you wish to flash official firmware without using Sony's software, the easiest way in doing so is through obtaining latest firmware with XperiFirm, then make a .ftf-file with FlashTool.
WHY?
- It's easy, fast.
- You can easily change region.
- You can flash older firmwares, SONY's software will only give you the latest.
- You can flash .ftf while offline.
- You can easily create a pre rooted ZIP using PRFCreator
HOW to download stock FW and make .ftf
1.0 | Download and set up XperiFirm, FlashTool.
2.0 | Start Xperifirm. Choose your phone and your cda. Download the firmware to desktop. Choose "unpack automatically".
3.0 | Start FlashTool.
3.1 | Select Tools -> Bundles -> Create
3.2 | Find the folder where you downloaded the firmware. Choose it.
3.3 | The fields "Device", "Branding", and "Version" is simply for the naming of the ftf. I usually fill these out.
3.4 | "No final verification" - I never check this one.
3.3 | Add all elements from the left list to the right.
3.4 | After this click "Create".
3.5 | When done, the ftf is located under ".../FlashTool/Firmwares".
Here is a youtube video guide
HOW to flash .ftf
Flashtool Guide for n00bies by Crowds
HOW to make pre-rooted .zip of any .ftf
1.0 | Download the firmware you want to PreRoot (.ftf). Download latest PRFCreator, SuperSU and NUT Dual Recovery flashable for Z1c
2.0 | Open PRFCreator.
2.1 | "FTF File" -> Load the firmware you want to Pre-Root. Has to be a FTF-file.
2.2 | "SuperSU Zip" -> Load the SuperSU Zip you downloaded from step 1.0
2.3 | "Recovery Zip" -> Load the flashable recovery you downloaded in step 1.0. "ZR-lockeddualrecoveryXXXXXX.flashable.zip".
2.4 | "Extra Zip" -> Here you don't need to add anything. This is only if you want to add more stuff to flash together with your Pre-Rooted firmware.
2.5 | "Include" -> My advice: Include all (Kernel, FOTAKernel, Modem, LTALabel. "Sign ZIP" is not needed, I never use it.
2.6 | Press "Create". The firmware will be made, and placed in the same folder as PRFCreator.exe. It will be named "flashable.zip".
3.0 | Flash it on your already rooted phone, which also already got a custom recovery installed (TWRP/CWM/PhilZ).
HOW to flash pre-rooted.zip
You must already have root, and you must have [NUT]s dual recovery installed, or similar. Use a 3rd party recovery (TWRP/CWM/PhilZ) to flash the ROM.
It will work on both locked and unlocked bootloaders
Stock Kernels (ftf)
- Stock kernels .ftf, includes kernel.sin, loader.sin and rpm.sin.
- Used for older rooting methods, where flashing an old kernel was necessary in order to make the exploit work

Info and old Version 2016 v2.0 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tool-ultimate-advanced-apktool-2016-v2-0-t3376943
New 2016 v3.0 :
01. Fix and improve.
02. Everything your hand with GPLv3
GitHub Open Source Project Link :-
https://github.com/Modify24x7/Ultimate-Advanced-Apktool
Why don't you just update old OP of the first thread instead of making a new thread every new version. Seems kind of redundant to me.
How can I open?
Please Update v3.0 for windows 7 32 bit users

This looks interesting... Hmmm...

links does not work
The link is has been updated
I am working the new version which will have alot of features. It has alot of work, we are getting rid of that userinterface for 3d using ogre3d. The new version will allow you to choose which interface you preffer, but I'll concentrate on the 3d version. It will also include mtk flashing where you will just choose like say infinix 551 (remove frp) or readbackup format etc, devs will have access to a new mtk flashing system to add new phones support.
FOLLOW MY PROGRESS WITH THE RE-ANIMATION EDITION ON TRELLO
The new cloud_commander will function with a service.
