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

The Unofficially Official Acer Firmware Thread
Wow it's been a long time!
I thought I'd rewrite the OP considering so much has changed in the firmware department recently....
This thread serves to solve two large problems:
1) Acer do not offer via their servers (which changed names and caused this thread to be created originally, but none of the files were deleted) all the files we tablet enthusiasts may need. For example, they do not have any unbrick procedures hosted.
2) Vache's FTP is currently unavailable.
The solution is this thread! It is a list of every firmware file I have come across - and some others. Some of these files are leaks; others are official updates. Either way they're here. I am in the process of migrating these files over to three servers to offer them via torrents. By using torrents the most important / popular files will have the best download speed as more people will be downloading them. Remember: the more peers the better!
I currently have one or two seedboxes sharing these files along with my home server (meek upload speed, but still there nonetheless). I will be pushing these torrrent files up here so that you can all access old files again. however, we no longer have some files as they were on Vache's FTP. If a link is dead, and you can fulfil the request, please PM me! Credit will be given!
If you download over Torrent, PLEASE help and seed. My home internet is currently handling most of the uploading for these ROMs which isn't the best thing. If you have a seedbox with bandwidth you can contribute please PM me and I will send you the folder of torrent files so you can support the cause. Thank you!
Good luck, and happy tablet hacking,
Chris.
PS: We need more files. Many are missing from the collection. If you have ANY of the files listed which do not have working download links please PM me or post here. We need as many of these files as possible for completion's sake!
**OLD POST BELOW**
It seems Acer have decided to be *really kind* and revoke access to the Firmware ROMs via the futuredial links. Also for personal reasons Vache has had to take his site down. These two factors together mean that we have download access to a LOT less files than before which is causing issues for newbies (principally) as they do not have the files downloaded already.
So the goal is simple: get somewhere to gather the files, upload what we have and make them available to the rest of the community. We need two things:
1) People with files (initially just firmware zips and EUU packages. We could store rooting tools etc. too later on) that can be reuploaded (no viruses / tweaks please. We want stock files for the rest of the community). Perhaps we should have them pre-decrypted (takes a minute or so for the uploader and saves time and effort for downloaders)
2a) Somewhere to upload them too. Whatever this place is should have sufficient bandwidth for the quantity of downloads and support the storage of files up to ~800MB each (ie for EUU packages)
2b) Seedbox(es). If #2 isn't feasible (for whatever reason), perhaps offering the files via torrent (and a private, dedicated tracker?? Why not? ) would save bandwidth and provide speed for downloaders
If you have either of these three things to contribute, please let me know by replying to this topic. I don't mind people having ads on #2 to support their server costs as long as they are SFW and without popups (we all hate popups )
I hope this will be a useful project. It's not the most exciting but we need a fast and resilient way of distributing these files. Over the past few weeks it has become evident that Acer does not want to support us in getting firmware files so we'll have to do it ourselves
All firmware links go in the post below. If you have any links feel free to post them and I'll add them!
EDIT: Although a central repository would be nice, we don't need one immediately. Most, if not all, of the useful files are below. Enjoy
LIST OF FILES
Please note that none of these files are rooted and/or tweaked! They are stock Android ROMs from Acer and designed for stock recovery!
Flashing them will remove custom recovery and/or custom bootloader! You will be fully stock! Update zips may not install if you have modified your device in any way. If unsure use a full package! You need an EUU package only if your device is bricked as it will be completely wiped clean in the process!
NOTE: For all ftp:// links you can just use any modern web browser!
NOTE 2: Please ensure your MicroSD is formatted to FAT32 if you are using any update zips!!! This is very important!!! Also check that your file name is update.zip and NOT update or update.zip.zip or Update.zip. The ONLY correct spelling is update.zip - all lower case with ONE extension!
NOTE 3: Many of these files have now been migrated to torrents and seedboxes. Feel free to use those links! I have confirmed with Moscow Desire (our resident moderator on this forum) and he says he is cool with this distribution method Also feel free to seed if you have server resources!
HOW TO READ THE FILE NAMES
For example: Acer_A500_4.010.38_7.006.01_COM_GEN1
Acer_A500: Device Name
016.01: Your current version (you can check it in Settings -> About)
016.08: Updated version
COM_GEN1: Device region (generally). Depends on ROM. When doing updates you must keep this the same for the update to work correctly. When using a full package you can use any region but certain languages may not be available.

I can provide full stock ACER A500 ICS roms , nothing changed , SO STOCK = kernel , bootloader , recovery , odexed.........no root hack, nothing !!!
SO if you flash these you are full stock with locked bootloader and stock recovery !!!
Call it "update.zip" and place it on your external SD and enter recovery.
I just need a place to upload them.
These are the roms I have:
Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1
Acer_AV041_A500_1.033.00_PA_CUS1
Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1
Already uploaded to collective server.
Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1
I also have HC 3.2 rom Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN1 full stock but it doesn't contain the HC bootloader , so you need to flash that with the stuff from the guide in my sig.
I only upload if someone needs it.
And SD_PB_G100W_1.007.03_COM_GEN1 for the PAckard Bell HC 3.0.1 original
Let me know if you are you want these. Maybe I can use the collective server but I don't want to overload as almost all my roms are hosted there.
EDIT:
I also have these (found them on my home server backup)
HC 3.1
Acer_A500_4.010.41_COM_GEN1
Acer_A500_4.010.42_EMEA_GEN3
And HC3.2.1

Sounds fantastic, good Sir
I'll compile a list in the second post of what we have and also what we want. Eventually it would be great to have all the files aggregated in one place (ie over one set of servers or one bittorrent tracker) but for now we need to see what we have
EDIT: Added the link to the links post. The other files would be fantastic and I'll add them too
EDIT 2: Fantastic! Okay you can upload them to a500bootloaderflash.tk over FTP if you want to and I'll have them there for now until we have something better. Otherwise the collective if they don't mind (better for me but I don't mind tbh)
Here's a 501 3.2 A501_4.027.15_COM_GEN1
http://d-h.st/zHb
I have some 3.2.1's for the 501 also. Will upload them as soon as I can.

Some files here : https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B_bko9M1FTYzY3o4VVU1Y0s5SnM
I have only 30Go on GDrive, for 60Go total. Currently uploading all files to a new ftp, should be up tomorrow.
WRT: 2b. I wouldn't mind seeing a few files. My desktop is on effectively 24/7 and i dont have a data cap of any kind. What I am limited by is hard drive space and upload speed, which, while sufficient, could be better.

Sounds okay but upload speed is definitely an issue. If your upload speed is 1.2MB/s and you have three downloaders suddenly an issue arises. Especially if you want to upload something yourself. I'll let you know if we need more storage but we should be ok for now

Hi, I have a post in the QA section as well, but For some reason I can't get my new tablet to unlock (came with ICS).
I should be able to do one of the full rom packages from any HC version to get back and unlock like that correct?
Does anyone know where it to download it
that is up to date found a couple really old downloads but not most up to date February 2016
Edit :Found a working link for multirom https://discourse.mozilla-community.org/t/nexus-4-builds/10783
I must've missed this while using my Nexus 5 for a daily driver. There was a Firefox OS image for the Nexus 4? I'm interested in any references…
