It (Firefox) does between a range of releases, first didn't support armv6, then did, then didn't again. I think by the time they built in flash libs it wasn't armv6 friendly anymore

sorry, OT
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
You have to keep it enabled in the system settings otherwise it will no longer work.
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
idk. I no longer uses Blankstore for some reasons including beta programs, paid apps,...
[Android Software Development] BryanByteZ:
Only the play store is a big spyware? Maybe limits permissions of it?
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
patched cm13 for signature spoofing? if not need fakegapps xposed module.

have microg gms core installed first? with all it's permissions including spoof signature set in settings>apps>microg>permissions?

and then install/fully manually permit blankstore, generate Google account in settings and play account both.

after that if i recall the sequence right it should work.
[Android Software Development] ShapeShifter499:
Hi I'm new to this but I would like to go as far away from Google Services as I can. I'm getting around to learning about blankstore and microg. I'm wondering, why isn't blankstore in the microg f-droid repository or in any f-droid repository as far as I can tell?
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
blankstore isn't often updated and is attached to the first post in this thread.
[Android Software Development] ShapeShifter499:
There are plenty of older but still viable applications in F-Droid that are in various levels of development.

---------- Post added at 10:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

I was reading back through the last few pages of this thread. First I've seen anyone not recommend OpenGapps for CM13, why? I've used it up till now for all my of my Cyanogenmod devices.
[Android Software Development] jiojio:
it work in cm14.1 ???
[Android Software Development] Dr_DjEnder:
If the rom your using is patched for signature spoofing along with micro G core all of them should work
[Android Software Development] Xardas999:
If Android Marked force stops just after you pick "Installed apps" or trying to search for apps with the message "Unfortunately, Android Market has stopped", the above mentioned recommendation helps a lot. The instruction to manually set up the permissions should be added to the installation guide.
[Android Software Development] ShapeShifter499:
Ok so I installed 'UnifiedNLP' and 'MapsAPI v1' and I still have issues when there is a app trying to display a map, one example is the Starbucks app. Did I miss something I should have installed?
[Android Software Development] n76:
I went looking for "the Starbucks app" and saw that there are a number of them, I guess dependent on which country you are in. So I was unable to test it on my phone.

But you mention installing UnifiedNLP. The Maps API v2 is contained in GmsCore (which also contains UnifiedNLP). You might try it with GmsCore instead of UnifiedNLP and see if that works.
[Android Software Development] TheAKAlias:
Hey Guys. Just wondering if NoGapps provides GCM functionality? I didn't read anything about GCM, thus I guess the answer is no. Still, I wanted to ask to make sure.

GCM is really the only thing that keeps me from freezing google play services/framework. Currently looking for a substitute.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
Have a look at microG.
[Android Software Development] n76:
[MENTION=4958579]Primokorn[/MENTION] gave the short answer.

The longer answer is that the MicroG project is the follow on to this nogapps one and it includes a number of things that makes going without Google easier including core messaging and maps API v2.

Guys, has anyone tried to generate Android ID recently? I am getting the following error:

Fetching auth (google service)...

Error=UNKNOWN_ERR

java.io.IOException: Can't find Auth // HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found

at com.android.checkin.Checkin.postFormFetchValue(Checkin.java:108)

Is it me or Google?
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
I did positively generate an Android ID just three days ago by use of the tools I mentioned in this post
[Android Software Development] pupsidze:
I also used android-checkin1.0.jar but got the error message above. Any idea what could it be?
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
Just gave it again a positive try.:)

See screenshot - and I apologise that I blanked the actual information out. ...and I'm more sorry that I don't know why it doesn't work for you.:(
[Android Software Development] pupsidze:
Tried it on a Windows machine and got the very same error - 404 cannot find auth :( could this be related to the Google account?
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
I personally doubt but unsure. Somehow I assume it's more related to your JAVA i.e. OT at this thread.

Are you at the latest Java version, and is your Java allowed access to the internet by your firewall?

I really can't help further more...
[Android Software Development] pupsidze:
Nope, this is definitely not my firewall. Tried it on three different machines (all have three different OS), tried another google account, java is the latest ver - no luck, still the same error.
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
Let's assume it's your current Google account...

Create a very new one and try it with that.
[Android Software Development] pupsidze:
I already did it - no luck:crying::crying::crying::crying:

[MENTION=69882142]Lanchon

[/MENTION]

for blankstore to work for me the first time required a couple things:

First install microg gmscore

Then

Set up a play account with my real device android id (it changes every time i clean install a rom anyway, which is often)

Set up a Google account on the target device in settings as well

Make sure all permissions are manually granted to gmscore and blankstore in settings

Though I've not messed around with fake android id except with raccoon, so if you're using a generated android id with microg i can't help with that.

//Edit

Are you kidding me? I was trying to make a new post, not edit the one that said i successfully used blankstore just shortly ago.
[Android Software Development] Lanchon:
hi, thanks!!

well i guess i'll look into this when i have a device to wipe. i'm so sick of google's crap in android. for now i'll make do with apkpure or something like that. btw, does it really need to be in priv-app? i rather have market be a standard app. well thanks anyway!
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
pupsidze was able to solve the issue after some PMs among us. It worked after creation of a Google account on a device with GApps. Obviously, it doesn't work with an account created e.g. simply on the Google webpage.

I've replaced the blankstore by the regular GPS, the only Google thing my device holds. GPS works perfect including updates, access to beta versions and paid/donation versions.

Here's all what I did: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69699146&postcount=54
[Android Software Development] Lanchon:
thanks! play store is rouge app in my view, auto updating and doing what it can to trick you into updating all android apps. the most troublesome part is it requiring root privileges. play store and play services are exactly the google apps i want to never have anything to do with again.
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
BlankStore was already working as advertised for me: Access to my Google account and the ability to update my applications - with the restriction that I had no access to my subscribed betas and to my paid/donation applications.

Personally, I'm extremly (or even more) cautious to whatever Google provides, delivers, advertises or injects. Therefore I wanted - and I got - rid of all the Google crap. However, I believe - I repeat "believe" - that the Play Store isn't an issue if the remaining Google services aren't available.

However, just for my better understanding what do you mean by "...the most troublesome part is it requiring root privileges..."? In what context regarding Google's Play Store are we talking about root access?
[Android Software Development] Lanchon:
all apps installed anywhere that are signed with the platform key get system permissions.

also, all apps in /system/priv-app get system permissions.

apps in /system/app do not get any special permissions, they are just regular apps bundled with the system.

apps with system permissions are essentially root apps. playstore has to be root or it wouldn't be able, for example, to install or update an app without going through the package manager UI. the app vs priv-app (privileged app) distinction was introduced in android 4.4 to reduce the attack surface in android. up until android 4.3 all /system/app apps were root, which was a crazy situation because operators were adding easily exploitable crappy bloatware which was all root.
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
Yeap, you're absolutely right. Just didn't get what you've meant in the very beginning. I appreciate that you clarified the issue so clearly.
[Android Software Development] shnapsx:
Hello guys.

I have problem with using some programs without google services. One of them is wikiroutes - http://wikiroutes.info

You can go and check link to playmarket by yourself. So, what i should do to use this app without google services? What open services install, etc?

P.S. I am using android 6.0
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
Are you already using microG? I'm not quite clear on that by the information you provided.

If interested please look into my post here. Unless you already did you might want to give the installation I did a try.
[Android Software Development] shnapsx:
Didn't see it. Right now i have fresh ROM, without your services and any apps. Only wikiroutes to check how it will work. Gonna try your link
[Android Software Development] shnapsx:
Can you give me shorter explanation of steps that you have done? I don't understand instruction at all:eek:

My location is not working.
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
Negative! If I could have done it shorter I'd done that. Sorry!

...but check the links in that post. Maybe you find explanations better suited to you.
[Android Software Development] shnapsx:

Maybe you can explain me what i should do after networklocation installation?
[Android Software Development] phly95:
Is there a way to use google voice over wifi without using google hangouts (since that app doesnt work)? That is pretty much the only thing preventing me from switching to custom rom and leaving gapps behind, unless there is a good alternative to google voice that is.
[Android Software Development] bigsupersquid:
Used to be able to set up a SIP phone with Google voice number. That's best over wifi.

Not sure if that concept's still a going thing or not, haven't read up on it in quite a while.

[EDIT] there's someone been facilitating it a while now, old link http://voxilla.com/2012/05/04/bill-...y-easily-puts-google-voice-on-your-voip-phone back when it was free, now it's got a "one time setup fee." Not horribly expensive and he has obviously been doing it for a while. I'm not going to link directly because it costs, but the old news article can lead you to it. [/EDIT]
[Android Software Development] phly95:
Pretty sweet. I might check that out at some point. I guess it truly is possible to get google off an android phone. It's a shame that there is no alternative tap and pay application for android other than Samsung Pay which only works on Samsung Phones AFAIK. I would love to see something like Amazon Tap and pay, or something like that. I'm sure if someone reverse engineered android pay, then Google would just block them out pretty quickly though.
[Android Software Development] adikri:
Working flawlessly

I've been using it for some days and everything working smooth.. Location is fine too.

I've installed gmscore, gmsproxy, unifiednlp, and 3 backends...

Just one problem . I can't add account in device. And can't sign in google maps & hangout app..

Can i also use google voice search with this framework ?

Any fix for that ?

My device is running on stock modified rom without prebuilt gapps on Android 6.0
[Android Software Development] Primokorn:
Are you using AdAway or another tool to modify your hosts file? Try again with the default hosts file.

BTW you should ask in the microG thread for such questions.

[Android Software Development] valhallen.282:
FYI - if you are using MicroG and cloud messaging and facing issues with messages coming in late. The following two changes help-> under battery switch all MicroG apps to not optimised. Under applicable permissions switch MicroG to unrestricted data access. Sync works like nothing changed. I assume Google is doing something similar but not letting it show up under the settings for their cloud messaging service.

blankstore is working fine for me on a Lineage based 7.1 ROM (just rechecked before typing this reply).

I think your issue is summed up in the trace you posted by this line:

java.lang.RuntimeException: could not init /storage/emulated/0/.nogapps/blankstore!

My guess is that you haven't gone into the system settings and given it permission to access storage.

Try removing the app from /system/app, reboot, remove com.android.vending from /data/data and /data/app, reboot to recovery and clean dalvik, now check if com.android.vending is still in appslist. If not you may copy to /system/app, if it's still there and you can't choose uninstall than I don't know what a mutant android system you have :P

No.

You can also just use Yalp store, it's way easier to use
[Android Software Development] nxb:
After using blankstore for over a year it started crashing when searching for apps or updates out of the blue. I followed the recommendation to get yalp store and it is slightly better. I'm leaving blank store installed so apps think google play store is still there.

Upon trying yalp, it told me that my username/password is invalid even though it works on my desktop. No clue what happened.
[Android Software Development] Cookie Ninja:
Latest Yalp Store has login using pseudonymous ID provided by Yalp Store, as well as using your own.. Useful if you dont have any paid apps......I have found that people using Yalp usually don't have any paid apps (or have backup of paid apps APKs through TiBackup, for preventing purchase verification check...)

I have a Galaxy S5 running CM12.1.

I have FakeGapps installed via Xposed and MicroG Settings App.

FakeStore is installed but it installs in \data\app. If I move the folder com.android.vending-1 to \system\priv-app, change the permissions and reboot, I dont have a Fake Store app in my launcher. What am I doing wrong?

In the MicroG Settings Self Check all boxes are ticked except:

Play Store (Phonesky) - This is ticked if I move com.android.vending-1 back to \data\app so should it be there?

Services Framework (GSF) - What is this and where do I get it?

Thanks ;)
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
microG Services Framework Proxy is available here. Hope that's waht you meant.
[Android Software Development] caned_monkey:
Thanks, noc.jfcbs. I now have GSF installed and all boxes in MicroG Settings Self Check are now ticked but I still don’t have a Fakestore app showing in my launcher.

I have tried copying com.android.vending.apk to:

\system\app\com.android.vending\com.android.vending.apk

\system\priv-app\com.android.vending\com.android.vending.apk

\system\app\com.android.vending.apk

\system\priv-app\com.android.vending.apk

All with the correct permissions and a reboot after moving and a wipe of the Dalvic cache but still nothing.

Any ideas please?
[Android Software Development] Oswald Boelcke:
I'm not using Fakestore thus no real experience. I use F-Droid, Yalp, and very occasionally Google Play Store (but that one is mostly frozen) i.e. I have \system\priv-app\phonesky\phonesky.apk

Don't know if it helps but maybe. In this thread I tried to explain how I went GApps free and using microG. But please scan the whole thread as I no longer install all microG related item "by hand" but by the use of NanoMod, which in it latest versions seems to no longer require Magisk (if you don't like that). Haven't tried NanoMod v8 and v9, yet.
