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.

Awesome!

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

Hi guys,
Cloud_Commander is an android shell code tool that can reserve android shell scripts from common tools like rooting tools, password cracking tools e.g John the reaper.
Most tools are bundled up by devs from around the globe and shared to everyone.
Currently the available commands are not yet polished but some still work and are being revised on daily basis.
Anybody can add a command provided he has created a dev page that explains the functionality of his tool/command.
This software will contain almost every android tool that is currently in use and outdated since Devs will merge their own stuff here.
There are two ways to add commands:-
You can use the command creator from the toolbar in the menu.
However you can create commands straight into the xml files which this software uses.
The commands created in this software will be stored in our server and used by everyone who updates the tables, if you use the other method (XML editing) which is not recommended, please share you files with your users.
All bugs should be reported to [email protected]
NB: PLEASE DON'T SEND COMMANDS THAT ARE NOT TESTED PERSONALLY !
SCANNED WITH BIT-DEFENDER ANTI-VIRUS
After downloading make sure you update the tables the press refresh and also checkout setups to install tools.
Version 1.2 does not update tables since we shifted our servers to cloudflare and has some minor engine flaws thus it's obsolete.
Download the latest version to maintain commands compatibility.

Seems promising !
Would definitely give it a try & report back soon.
On a related note: I'm also in the process of rewriting Dummydroid, a companion tool for spoofing arbitrary Android devices. Any artists around here willing to contribute an application icon (must be in SVG format and under a creative commons license)?
Used to work for me, lately it just hangs by signing in.
Loved it!
