NetworkLocation from NOGAPPS Project

Hi,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1715375

I try to install Network Location but it crashes at startup, everytime.

My phone is a Samsung Galasy S3 Mini (GT-I8190) with CM11

I have this log :

What I did :

- chmod 644 /system/priv-app/NetworkLocation.apk

- copy cells-europe.db (also try with cells-world.db) to /sdcard/.nogapps/cells.db

Thanks for your help

The logcat is incomplete, what tool did you use to create it?

Do you use any privacy tools like Xprivacy and do you have a sim card inserted?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaR-V-iN:
That's the right behavior, nothing to worry about.

Apparently this is a bug in the Samsung modem/firmware. I'll add a work-around for that in the next release. Consider using the UnifiedNlp pre-release from here https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp until then.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Didou3094:
Ok, I tried to use the NetworkLocation.apk found here (github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_UnifiedNlp/releases) but I not sure about what to do with the UnifiedNlp.apk. I also installed it in /system/priv-app/ and by this way NetworkLocation doesn't crash at startup anymore but it doesn't seem to work by the way, I have not result on html5demos.com/geo

Anyway, I'll wait for your next release.

Thank you very much for you help and for this project (and sorry for my english).

Sadly it does not work for me with SlimICS on a Samsung Galaxy S i9000.

When Android starts it greets me with following:

"Sadly NetworkLocation has been ended." or something...

And inside I won't get a fix. I don't know I followed your tutorial and even fixed the permissions like the other files in /system/app ...

Backend for NLP

I've created a GMS cell tower backend for NLP at https://github.com/n76/Local-GSM-Backend and have used a naming structure based on a domain I own. Because it is code specifically for the microG project can I and should I change to use org.microg.[something]?

Further, would it be advantageous (more likely for other developers/users to find use and fix/enhance it) to move the source tree into microG's github account rather than leaving it in mine?

For Meizu MX4?

How to this on MX4? I'm not a dev or even technically educated but have used a rooted phone before and even MX4 is rooted. I recently installed playstore using google installer for mx4 only because some apps won't run until i had google play services. How can i make them work without having google stuff on my phone. I don't use any google stuff. Of course many apps are available only on playstore but then i used a chrome addon to download apks and installed them but they won't run until google play services was installed.

There's an LBE security app built in mx4 system and i can stop playstore from getting my info but because of the google installer available for mx4 google play services showing up in launcher as google settings app, is embedded in the system and there's no way to control it. I'd like to use this alternate method to use playstore and trick apps that google play services exists without having to let google have my info. I want to have a fully google free android. BTW i don't use chrome on pc either. I had to use it to download apks as firefox addon wasn't available for that function.

BlankStore and paid apps

I try to get rid of Google on my Android devices. Unfortunately, I still use apps from Google Play store. So currently I install minimal Gapps on my (CM-) devices and restrict them as far as possible. Generally, the only Google feature I need is the play store... so I'd like to switch to BlankStore. However, I'm not quite sure about the current features especially concerning paid apps:

Can I keep my current Google ID with BlankStore (yes, it is adviced not to do so, but I'd like to keep purchased apps)?

In this case, are apps which I purchased with the original PlayStore still available to me?

How about apps which contain the "verify license with Google Play" permission (i.e. Greenify, 3C Toolbox, Apex Launcher, etc.)

Thanks in advance, and keep up the good work with this project!

mmm.. Or do I need to have google account before using this application? Cos that is not really evident from the instruction.

TitaniumBackup Pro (paid PlayStore version) stopped working

A few weeks ago, I "un-googled" my two Android devices and switched from GApps to NoGapps. I was very pleased, everything worked as expected and even my paid PlayStore-apps continued working, at least it seemed so.

One strange result: Paid PlayStore apps still work, however they are not displayed in the Market app and cannot even be found by searching. No updates, either, but up to now downloading with Racoon and sideloading fixed this issue.

Now, all of sudden, TiBu Pro stopped working: The license check fails and the app claims that Google Market is taking to long to respond, so it switches back to unpaid functionality. I use a PlayStore version, i.e. there is a free TiBu app and a paid TiBu unlocker app. I tried all kinds of things - uninstalling and restoring previous backups, uninstalling and re-installing (using Racoon for the download of the unlocker app, see above), cleaning caches, etc. - TiBu remains as an unpaid version.

Strange enough, this only goes for one of my two devices. The other one - using the same Google Play account - still works with TiBu (but for how long?). I have not made any bigger updates on both devices, and both devices basically have the same setup (CM11, NoGapps).

Any ideas?

Android Checkin JAR Error

EDIT: I have found what seems to be a fix on the previous page of the Q&A thread.

I have packaged the needed .jar files in with android-checkin-1.0.jar to this file: http://beardeddonkey.com/guides/android/nogapps/files/android-checkin.withNeededJARFiles.tar.gz

If you get the error message as shown below, download the above file and extract it then run android-checkin-1.0.jar as per usual from that package in the folder it creates when you extract it.

That said, I am also getting the Blank Market app force closing when I try to search for apps like codethief has gotten.

EDIT: Found the reason for Blank Market force closing was lack of carrier code values. To find one that suits your region look at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_country_code

For instance, I used "Optus" for the carrier ID or name, and the MCC+MNC value was 50502

After filling these values in the account preferences Blank Store worked fine.

My phone is Samsung i9000 running SlimKat ROM, no Gapps installed.

It's been forever since I have messed with my S4. I am not sure deadly venom ROM is even compatible with it. Normally when you're using safe strap recovery you're limited to booting only touch wiz based ROMS.

The Nl1 modem file is the radio for the Nl1 firmware. You can flash it if you want, it doesn't hurt anything. You will need to use titanium backup or an app like it to back everything up. Flashing a ROM normally wipes everything.
