How Can i Install the Amazon Launcher to CM9 Rom ?

I am currently running a CM9 Distro on my Kindle fire.
I Just downloaded a whole pack of .apk's including the Amazon Video, Amazon Mp3 and Amazon Launcher.
Here is the link i used : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596706
I followed the steps to Install all the apps, and them, install the launcher itself, but the Launcher "Force Closes" as soon as i open it, i can't even see the Bookshelf itself.
Is there any way to install amazon's launcher and all the "extras" such as video,mp3 and kindle (i have kindle app, but i want it to integrate with the launcher, so as it used to be on the stock OS) ?
Thanks in advance

Nope. It just FC as soon as it's opened. And no one has really put a lot of effort into making it work either.

So, there is no way to make it work ?
I'm starting to get pissed, since i can't:
1. Use Amazon App Store (Because im from Brasil)
2. Get the launcher back, to play the videos right from the amazon cloud drive (stream)
3. Buy wired magazine, since i have no US Billing Adress / US Credit Card

Use Google play store?

I do use google play store, but them:
1. I can't buy books from google
2. I can't rent movies from google
3. apps work, ok.
4. I can't buy magazines from google
5. I can't buy music from google
So, google play works appwise, but when it comes to other kind of content, i can't manage to buy nothing

I would actually really like to see this work as well. There is nothing quite like using the actual Kindle app that came with it rather than the Play Store one...I don't care so much for carousel, though it would be cool to switch between. But I find that when I'm on the stock rom I miss the functionality of ICS apps and the tablet version of such (Mint..dpi change doesnt work either) and vice versa with the Kindle functionality. As a student I get a discount of Amazon Prime and so use that as well as renting kindle books from my library. I don't want to lose what I pay for...but I also want ICS apps...so having my cake and eating too.

Books will work because of the "Kindle App", but, Amazon prime videos won't.
I wanted the amazon launcher to acess my amazon cloud drive and stream its content OTA.

Right, I also have some apps I've bought ('Kindle Only') through the amazon store that don't show up on ICS roms

I don't know where on XDA I read the thread but a really long one exists about how Amazon did a bunch of security checking and it nobody has the desire to try breaking it all and making all the Amazon Apps work. It may be impossible I don't know. But, you can resolve the issue by doing a bit of work on your end.
a1. whatever you have now use your recovery tool of choice to make a backup.
1. Install FFF dual boot as your boot loader. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1615093
1a. read about how to use FFF dual boot. Specifically I kept getting hung up trying to make the menu choice because I didn't' have patience and I didn't read: Note that there is a slight delay before the power button will accept input, but you can tell when it's ready when the LED fades from bright green to darker green.
2. follow the process at the link above to setup the secondary boot.
3. install MoDoCo Gr9.1 alt on the secondary boot http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1439916
4. boot into MoDoCo and setup your Google App store. Download RootKeeper, save root, remove root. reboot.
5. setup Amazon account and stream away with your videos.
now you can do everything - except amazon - in full CM9 goodness on your primary boot. When you want to watch amazon prime you boot into your secondary boot (MoDoCo) and have good Amazon love.

I used the steps in the link and the launcher worked for me in ICS, I am about to try it in Jelly Bean tonight. I used steps 1-5 only, as step six is for the nook, and the rest is for the silk browser which is not needed. I'll post pictures later if it works on jelly bean 4.1.1. Just remember than you will have to turn off root access to watch amazon video.

I installed all the files in the kINDLE FIRE FILES folder, they all installed except for these three:
com.android.htmlviewer-10-2.3.4.apk
com.android.magicsmoke-10-2.3.4.apk
com.android.musicvis-10-2.3.4.apk
I then used root explorer to get to /system/app/
I then found, clicked on and installed:
HTMLViewer.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
It is working for me. Will post pics soon.
The force closes I think were from the three files not going in right if you did not do the root explorer steps, but I never had force closes though.

Ok, here is the amazon kindle fire launcher running on android 4.1.1. Sorry for the picture quality, my screen capture app apparently takes blank pictures in the new android rom.

Yes there were force closes before the last three files. I did not replace those three files. The three files in /system/app simply installed for me.

This is fantastic. I had put off playing around with other roms because I love the launcher. Well, with jellybean, I decided to take the plunge, and then I saw this thread and now I can have the best of both worlds.
My icons don't seem as crisp as they did on stock rom, maybe if I buy them from the store. The other thing is I am getting force close on video and the browser.
Also, the books section, the store doesn't seem to work, it wants to open a browser.

Has anyone been able to get this to work on eye candy everything I try I get FC on the launcher. If not would could post the name of an ICS ROM that it does work for. I know someone said gummy but I can't seem go find a it in the development section.

[Extension] Updated version of the APK Downloader Chrome Extension

What is it?
This is an updated (and slightly modified) version of redphx's awesome Google Chrome extension APK Downloader.
It allows you to download APKs from the Play Store webpage via your desktop browser directly onto your computer.
The original version stopped working as of Google Chrome version 20+ because starting with this Chrome version, all Google Chrome extension require to use the manifest version 2. When I noticed, I checked the author's page for any updates. But there were no updates on that.
Update: Earlier, I said that the original APK Downloader extension stopped working because it uses Manifest version 1 and that Google Chrome dropped support for all extensions that use Manifest version 1.
However, gt573 noted that he can still use the original extension (v1.2.1) with Chrome 21.
So, I checked again the Manifest version 1 support schedule and I found that I was wrong there. Manifest version 1 was announced deprecated with the release of Chrome 18, but will be partitially supported until "early 2013".
Nethertheless, the original APK Downloader (v1.2.1) does not work for me since my Chrome was update to 21.0.1180.60 m. The extension constantly throws content security policy exceptions when trying to download any App, which prevents the extension from working at all. Additionally, this is the error message I get on the extension page:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And according to the recent comments on the author's webpage, there's a bunch of other users who have/had the same problem with v1.2.1 within the last days. (For a detailed explanation of manifest version changes in Chrome and what that means for the original APK Downloader, click here to read the full story.)
So: If APK Downloader v1.2.1 stopped working for you, feel free to use this updated version.​
What was changed?
So.. Basically, this is the original APK Downloader v1.2.1 extension for the Google Chrome browser, downloaded from the author's - redphx - webpage. However, these are the changes that I made:
As of version 1.3.0
Updated the extension manifest version from 1 to 2
Replaced deprecated functions in JavaScript and references in manifest.json
Changed JavaScript formatting from compressed to "Pretty Print" (so that the source code is readable for everybody)
Removed Google Analytics Code (Sorry redphx, all credits to you! But using GA for this, without even anonymizing the User IPs, is a No-Go as I think).
Changed the download redirect Url (when clicking the icon in the Url bar) from the author's webpage to a local domain "http://localhost/[..]".
Removed all other "extra" code, that was not used for the actual functionality.
Replaced extension icons.
As of version 1.3.1
Changed the download redirect Url (when clicking the icon in the Url bar) from"http://localhost/[..]" to this thread's URL, because v1.3.0 required a local web server to be running for the extension in order to function.
As of version 1.3.2
Changed the download redirect Url (when clicking the icon in the Url bar). Instead of open a new tab, as of version 1.3.2 it will simply reload the current Play Store URL and start the download!
As of version 1.3.3
Fixed redirect bug, introduced in version 1.3.2
Major code clean up (reduced number of files from 16 to 12).
As of version 1.3.4
Improved new reload function to support Play Store URLs that contain a hash key already.
Get Started - Download
To install the extension the steps are as follows: download and extract the following zip archive to your computer.
Direct download link:
apkdownloader-1.3.1.zip
apkdownloader-1.3.2.zip
apkdownloader-1.3.3.zip
apkdownloader-1.3.4.zip​
How to set up?
After you extracted the downloaded zip file to your computer, open Google Chrome and go to the extension page; you can copy and paste into the Url bar: chrome://chrome/extensions/
Load it
Now, enable "Developer mode" and load the "APK Downloader"-extension from the directory where you extracted it to.
Set it up - Google-Account
To be able to download from the Play Store, you need to authenticate all requests. Therefore you need to "log in to your Google Account" at the extension's option page.
On the extension's options page, log in with your Google-Account (email-address and password) - the same Account that you used with your device! Also, you will need your Android Device-Id (which is part of the algorithm to generate a valid request key).
Note: Basically this is not a "login" in the common sense. Your credentials are stored safely in Chrome's local data storage - on your own computer!!!
Set it up - Android Device-Id
To get your Android Device-Id, type in the dialer of your phone...
Code:
*#*#8255#*#*
*#*#TALK*#*#
... and you will get the "GTalk Service Monitor" screen like the following. Search for "DEVICE-ID:". Everything that comes after "android-", that is your Device-Id.
OR
Use my App "Android Device-ID"
(Almost) Done
The extension is now available and ready set up. However, you need to follow 1 more step to actually use it; you need to disable SSL warnings. Therefore please read on at the original APK Downloader page at: http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/​
Credits
All credits for the extension goes to redphoenix89 (or redphx @xda)! It's his code - I did only cosmetics.​
Legal Note / Disclaimer
Finally, please note that the use of this Chrome extension is violating Google's Play Store TOS! You've been warned.​

As Wesnam pointed out the version 1.3.0 requires a local webserver to be running in order for the extension to work. I fixed that, so everybody can use it. Please download version 1.3.1 (click here).

APK downloader 1.2.1 seemed to work just as well on google chrome 21 as your 1.3.1. Neither will download the IBM think tablet app, which is a free app. I get an error with both extensions. Any idea if there is a fix?

Looks good, thx. Was always a bit worried about it using his server.
To everyone: I checked the code and there's no suspicious stuff in there, just what's expected to be there (a number of calls to the Market). 100% legit.

There's a difference in the way they do not work. Original APK Downloader (v1.2.1) doesn't work at all. Mine doesn't work if there're server-side validations to be passed, such as country limitation, device limitation or screen size limitation (and of course you can download only free apps). For the IBM app there's a limit for the screen resolution. So you need to have a device registered with the same email address you use for the extension, that is compatible with the app's screen resolution minimum: A screen width of 800 pixels or more and screens classified as Xlarge. Do you match these criteria?

I just installed v1.2.1 last night and a quick test verified that it was able to download apps with my current version of google chrome (21). I only downloaded one app and it was one by the extension developer, I don't know if that makes a difference. Anyway, it wouldn't download the app I was after (IBM think) which is what brought me here. I was able to download another tablet app with your extension that the market tells me is not compatible with my device so I thought it would bypass the device and screen limitations. My device(Galaxy note sgh-i717) has 800 x 1280 resolution. It is running android 4.0.4. I changed the dpi to 160 in build.prop to match xlarge, still no go. Just for full disclosure (not asking for build.prop help here) I have tried modifying my build.prop to make my sgh-i717 appear as a Tab 10.1, but it didn't work, it still show as an sgh-i717 in the market.

That's odd. But I checked back and according to the Manifest version 1 support schedule, the support for v1 extensions is not yet dropped - unlike I said in OP. According to the schedule the support will be dropped in "early 2013". Thus, APK Downloader v1.2.1 should still work as it did all the time; also with the latest Chrome versions. Now, to explain you why I said/thought it was:
The thing is that I used v1.2.1 almost every day and I never had problems to download Apps, except for a few that were labeled as non-compatible with my devices in the play store. (I will come back on that later..) Then, a few days ago, the extension just stopped working without me making any changes. So I opened Chrome's developer console and saw that the extension threw some content security policy errors fired by the extension's Javascript code.
Then I checked the author's website and saw a lot of recent comments by users having the same issue - that the extension just stopped working for them.
Since I've developed a few Chrome extensions myself, I remembered that the changelog between Manifest 1 and 2 includes a new content security policy and also that Manifest 1 was announced deprecated in Chrome 18.
So I checked my Chrome version and saw that it was updated just that morning (from 20.x to 21.0.1180.60 m). Hence, I thought that the exceptions, thrown by the extension, were due to the "fact" that the old content security policy, which was used before Manifest version 2, was unsupported with that Chrome-Update.
So I updated the extension's source code to use Manifest version 2. Finally, I had no more content security policy exceptions in the dev console and the downloads worked again.
And because there was no update by redphx and I've seen a lot of users had the same issue, I thought I'd share it here.
To cut a long story short:
I was wrong in saying that the original extension stopped as of Chrome 20+ due to missing support by Chrome.
However, for me v1.2.1 constantly throws content security policy exceptions in Chrome which prevent it from working at all. And as you can see from the comments on redphx's website it stopped working for others, too (whatever else the reason is..!?).
Also, as you can see from the schedule, v1.2.1 will stop working in the not-too-far-away future (unless redphx will release an update), whereas mine is "future-proof" (as far as it concerns Chrome).
Finally, my version does not include Analytics code, nor does it redirect you to a site which can not be verified to be safe (it should be, though).

Now, as I said earlier:
"I used v1.2.1 almost every day and I never had problems to download Apps, except for a few that were labeled as incompatible with my devices in the play store."
However, this was not true for all Apps that were labeled as incompatible. Some work, most do not. I'm not really sure how the checks work at this point. I know that there exist options for developers to restrict access to downloads by some "more advanced" parameters (apart from payment, obviously). And I think that the the device compatibility check for the In-App-Listings and the Play Store Website is separated from the logic that is used for those "advanced" restrictions (and no, I'm not talking about the basic country-limit here).
As another weird example take the new chameleon launcher beta. The Play Store says it would be compatible with my device. However, I can not download it. Neither through the Play Store, nor with the extension. Why not? Because, as you can read on the developer's website, your Emailaddress for Play Store must be paired with the Emailaddress that I/someone used in the developer's beta signup form that was on the website a few weeks ago. Means: eventhough it is a free App and labeled as compatible in Play Store, I can not download it because the developer needs to specifically allow my Account. As you can see, there're lots of possible and not always understandable reasons why somebody can download some apps while others can't.

I don't think that editing the build.prop file will help with that at all. Even if I change everything in my build.prop, the Useragent that is send by the Play Store App still uses/reveals the real device info. No matter what I change, it always sends: "AndroidDownloadManager/4.1.1 (Linux; U; Android 4.1.1; Nexus One Build/JRO03H)".

Hey bexton, thank u very much for your modded extension! I installed it because I get with the previous version the "ERROR: Cannot download this app!" message but with version I get the same message:
Chrome startup parameters: --ignore-certificate-errors --allow-running-insecure-content
Chrome Version: 21.0.1180.57
OS: Linux

thankz!! but not working here
Chrome version: 22.0.1219.0 (148586)
maybe disable ssl warnings don't work i don't know

Works for me. Is there a way to disable this page popping up everytime I download something?

maybe it'd be possible to use a data-uri instead of this thread as download page?

Hi, I have the same problem unfortunately on Windows 7 on Chrome 21

I still get the error "ERROR: Cannot download this app!". This is happening on Chrome 22.0.1229.2 dev-m, Win7 32bit.

Sorry for the late response, but I've been on holiday. For those of you who still get the error "ERROR: Cannot download this app!" for an app that should be downloadable(!!), please provide a link to the app. If you get this error for ALL apps, than please leave this info as well.
@XlAfbk: I don't think so, but I'd need to check on that.. If know how to, let me know.

That's just a few.
I'm thinking that Google corrected some of the coding in Chrome as it regards to the Play Store to prevent people from downloading apps that WILL work with your devices, but still declare them incompatible.

I also notice this problem. Didn't worked with any app that Google was saying to be incompatible with my device.

I had no problems downloading the app with the extension (find attached). Is it labeled as compatible with your device in the play store?

I was able to download the apps that are labeled as compatible in play store. The Huffington Post and the CNN link were for Tablets only, so they failed. But when I tried their apps for phones, I was able to download those as well.

You can't know. But if you set up everything correct, you can be almost sure that you can download all apps that are labeled as compatible with your device in Play Store. Me personally, I never found an app that was labeled as compatible and I was not able to download it via the extension. Whenever it is labeled as compatible, I can download it.
@Felimenta97: There're a few exceptions; for a few apps I was able to download them even though the Play Store said it would be incompatible. However, as said above, a general rule of thumb is that you will be able to download only the apps that are labeled as compatible for your device.

I see. But if you could work on that it would be nice. Some apps work on my phone, just play store is crazy about that.

I tried modding the extension but for some reason it even fails with localhost instead of this thread, just replacing the 1 line containing the url *confused* (not a chrome extension guy so probably missing something there. more of a web dev)
Maybe if you'd explain why that is and why it needs some site in the first place I'd be able to figure it out.

It happened to me several times when WiFi or mobile data connection disconnects several times when download in progress and download manager just says downloading and shows no progress at all. Only way to solve this is cancel download and start again

I've tried them. None work. Either my app has stopped working or my data isn't working. Although I've cleared caches of the service and the app, cleared data and reinstalled the app with the brand new updates. Nothing has worked

Just clear data and cache for download manager under settings/apps or applications/all

Well now i have the same Problem.... Someone finally found a working solution? I am just tired from trying several "fixes" that should have worked. I am at the end. I need help. I have this problem only when I try to install a theme on cyanogenmod 11 snapshot 9 or icon packs. Pls help.
Thank you in advance!
P.S. ok i checked something, and for some reason i can not install any Themes. I am using CM 11 M9 with Go Launcher Pro, Using Xposed with XBlast Tools and some other little tools, but i did not had any problems before. It just happened, and i did not changed anything. Someone got any ideas how to fix that?

If Google Play services is updated try uninstall updates

Same problem here. Tried everything above..
CM11 nightly 20140928.
I can install some themes but most of them bring up error -400.

I guess it has something to do if a keyboard skin is also in there or not. I wanted to install the MIOS FREE - CM11 theme, but the actual update contains a "themed keyboard Latin". I am using the google keyboard from the gapps stock package. Could that be the problem? I installed another icon pack without problems (the FLAT - ICON PACK from the same guy), but the ones with keyboard thingy don't work. Someone got any solution?

I have the same problem on the same device with the same theme. Before update of 1st october theme installs good and working good. When come update and i push update button, play market bring me error -400. I tried to uninstall it and install again, but error won't disappear. I had read troubleshooting guides including those in this thread, but they doesn't work for me. I noticed, that the theme appears in installed apps, with strange icon and size equal zero (see screenshot).
I have old version of theme (1.8) backuped with Titanium Backup, it restores theme without error, but still theme don't updates. I want to try install theme from .apk file, but i can't find it latest version.
I hope, the problem will be solved in some day.
My device is I9300 with the last CM11 nightly.
Sorry for my english, i using google translate.

well i have downloaded the newest version (the apk file) from the play store through some program. but trying to install it also results in a fail. Someone here to help us?

It's all very strange. I update my device to today's nightly ( cm-11-20141003-NIGHTLY). In changelog there are changes in themeservice (see screenshot). I thought that now all be ok, but it doesn't, Mios free theme still don't installs. But now error looks different (see screenshot #2). Other themes installs without error, for example Obsidian theme (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.cyanogenmod.obsidian), which have theme for google keyboard. I'm think the last hope is to email developer of the mios theme, maybe he prompts something.

I already E-mailed him, and he changed the keyboard in todays update (to black) but it still does not work. I Emailed him again and he told me that he will check it. Lets see how long it will take....
P.S. i am using Xposed module with Xblast tools and activated some minor tweaks, but even after careful checking of everything (the settings doe not have anything in common that could have caused this error) and also disabling the Xposed modules it still does not work.... that is really strange. But seriously.... Is there no one who knows something about themes in this section that can help us?

No one got an idea? Pls i really need help

try it
I learn and read many information but this error happen when your phone or internet had problem!
All fix way processing on your phone. try this way!
Problem
The download is impossible and the request is ''forbidden''. This usually happens when two Google accounts are used to buy applications on one device.
Solution
Go the Google Play Store with the correct Google account. Uninstall the application in question. Next try to get the app from Google Play again and click the purchase button.
2nd Solution
Clear the proxy you have possibly set up by going into the settings, then choose Wireless and Networks (or More) and then Mobile Network. Select APN, which stands for Access Point Name and hit Clear Proxy Option. Afterward you can always reinstated the proxy.
3rd solution
Another solution would be get erase your entire search history which you can do in the Play Store itself by choosing the settings button. Next, select Clear search history.
4th solution
Try creating a new Google account and using it instead for the Play Store. Go to the Google Play, and select the menu button again. Then select accounts and choose the new Gmail account. Then re-install the app.

[APP] UnifiedNlp - FLOSS Wi-Fi- and cell-tower-based geolocation

Introduction
UnifiedNlp is a FLOSS (Free/Libre Open Source Software) tool for geolocating android phones without Google's Geolocation service. It allows apps that use Android's coarse or network locating features to geolocate the phone which is usually faster and less battery consuming then GPS. If you use your phone without GAPPS this might become a useful tool for you.
The real location work is done by backends (plug-ins) that can be configured through the UnifiedNlp UI. There is already a number of backends out there that use data from various data sources, some of them working completely offline.
The same backend technique is used for UnifiedNlp's secondary feature: (reverse) geocoding. This allows apps like the android gallery to convert geo-coordinates to an address, resulting in better user experience.
UnifiedNlp is the successor of NOGAPPS NetworkLocation and part of the microG Project.
Installation
UnifiedNlp comes with official support for Android 4.4 (KitKat) and Android 5.0 (Lollipop). Installation on AOSP-based ROMs for this version is easy:
Make sure that no Google geolocation tool is installed (it is usually listed as Google Play Services in Apps)
Download and install NetworkLocation.apk as a usual app (you may need to enable "Unknown sources" in Settings->Security)
Reboot
If your system is not AOSP-based but GAPPS-free and the above instructions do not work for you, try placing NetworkLocation.apk directly in /system/priv-app/ and reboot.
If your system has Xposed, you can use this Xposed module together with UnifiedNlp.apk
Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) through Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean) are not officially supported (meaning newer versions of UnifiedNlp are not tested on these platforms). Still a legacy version is published with every release. Android 4.2+ is known to usually work properly, older versions are often not supported by backends and thus can't use UnifiedNlp. Push LegacyNetworkLocation.apk directly to /system/app and reboot to try it out.
Download
Latest stable release: v1.4.0 - Download NetworkLocation.apk - LegacyNetworkLocation.apk - UnifiedNlp.apk
Older versions and pre-release builds can be found on GitHub
Backends
I developed and will support three backends, that you can find on GitHub:AppleWifiNlpBackend, IchnaeaNlpBackend (Mozilla Location Service), OpenWlanMapNlpBackend and NominatimGeocoderBackend
These and backends by other developers are usually released on F-Droid.
If you installed a third-party backend and you're not sure whether the problem is caused by UnifiedNlp or the backend, feel free to write here.
Upcoming/planned features
- Better status information to check whether installation succeeded or not and what steps might be needed
- Backend prioritization and complex rule system
FAQ
Q: It does not work!
A: Make sure you read the installation instructions properly and that locating would be possible using the backends provided. Are you sure you rebooted? Is your system GAPPS free? OK. Now, ask!
Thanks
Big thanks to everyone who continuously supported me doing this, by donating, pull-requests or just feedback. Thanks to backend developers, that made this tool useful. Thanks to Google for leaving a door in Android that makes this possible.

Hail to the King!

What other apps will be affected by disabling google play services? Want to try this but I have Play services installed.

Thank you very much for this.
Just a note to point out that GitHub's mobile site has no downloads anywhere to be seen if one gets there from a smartphone on default mode, and users might get really confused about it. One has to switch to the desktop site to find the backend APKs.

If you run with play services I guess you installed the complete GAPPS package, including Play Store etc. These either require Play Services or misbehave with Play Services removed or replaced.
However, chances are good that there will be a complete Play Services replacement including UnifiedNlp sometime (sooner or later - no ETA here)

Every APP which requires Google play licensing or the play services. F.e. Google Music
A lot of paid apps f.e. Poweramp will not work
But u are able to download your paid apps in Blank Store f.e. Tasker
Nova Launcher or Atlas Browser and most CM Themes are working fine without gapps even the paid Version.
U can only buy apps on the Play Store Website and you have no option to return the APP.
But if everything is working fine for you then stay with Gapps because it requires a lot of work and knowledge.
But some people like it that way

I see, thanks for the info. I use Nova and Phoenix ROM and just selected a few gapps.
I do use Play Store....well, it's the only app I know where to easily get and install apps from (when searching for an app), other than getting an apk elsewhere which I copy and install manually. What are you guys using? I tried browsing and downloading a few times on my phone but they don't work when installing. Probably I need an installer app on my phone? How do you guys manage these installations via the phone? I'd like this so I don't have to keep attaching my phone to the PC and transferring apks to install. Thanks again.

µg UnifiedNlp works great on Android 4.2.2.
GPS first fix time is faster than Google network location.
Looks like µg UnifiedNlp can save more battery since it's lower wakelock time compare with Google network location.

Wow, this is awesome! It must have been a LOT of work to get this working, let alone making it stable and usable, thank you! Android is really very usable without gapps now.
Also, here are a couple links to anyone interested in using it completely offline: https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=Backend&fdid=org.fitchfamily.android.wifi_backend and https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/?fdfilter=Backend&fdid=org.fitchfamily.android.gsmlocation
The wifi backend even updates the local database with nearby APs once it has found a GPS fix, real neat!

Thanks, downloaded these 2 apps now. Still reading up on UnifiedNlp. Since nogapps is needed, will I still be accessing gmail and/or google account, w/c is asked by some apps? Sorry for some confusion. Thanks.

I have a question: Is it possible to use UnifiedNlp with a offline copy of the OpenWlanMap database? In their website they provide the database for download, but I see no mention of using it with OpenWlanMapNlpBackend.
LocalWifiNlpBackend is intended to be used with our own database, but can I convert the OpenWlanMap database and use it?

Is it possible to disable Google location services with "My Android Tool" and use µg UnifiedNlp for location service but keep the Google services installed for other purposes (app licenses, ...)?

Exactly what I was looking for; don't want Google snooping around on my phone. Thanks a lot!
One thing though: I am running an unofficial CM11 on my Razr i. Installing your app via F-Droid or directly as an apk fails due to a wrong signature, i.e. UnifiedNlp seems to be installed already - I can't find it anywhere on my phone though...

Ooh I love you! That feature + a device patched to passively scan for Wifi APs = pinpoint the location without emitting any signals whatsoever even if GPS coverage is poor. That's some exquisite stuff, man.
By the way, does µg implement Google Cloud Messaging? It would be fantastic for RedPhone, to get secure(ish) voice comms to our poor iOS using friends.

Been using this across devices since months back.. Happy to see a dedicated thread.. Good stuff.

lacells.db is compatible with NOGAPPS NetworkLocation and the gsm backend for UnifiedNlp. cells.db is a different incompatible format. Renaming files will cause problems.

Question WebView Crashing Bixby

Lately I've been getting these WebView crashes related to Bixby Voice. WebView version is: 113.0.5672.162.
Does anyone have any ideea why the issue appears and any potential fix (besides constantly uninstalling the WebView update)?

got the same webview version, no crashes. how does it crashes on yours, doing what?

Something like this, but Bixby voice.

Maybe mi home is not compatible for some reason. I'm using nova

I got that error too, but with Facebook Messenger, Discord, Notion, Coda and other country-related apps.
Ive read that this error can appear by different webview versions for different users: default user, private folder, dual apps, etc. But Notting worked so far, its been a month or so from the first time it happened. Read also that in other time, this was google error in some binaries or wtv.
If someone have a solution share it please

A note 10+ in the household has the same Mi version but a different WebView (a smaller point release) and no such errors.
I am at a loss how to "debug this further", it's simply annoying since it pops up randomly, and the bixby one even stops the camera - I was at a sports event and just closed the camera mid filming.....

Yes, stock, latest version available for me. This started randomly.
I tried the dev options and installed the beta and dev versions, but didn't really fix it.
The odd thing is that it fails randomly, sometimes for Bixby, sometimes for Google, the only constant is MiHome.
I will probably end up resetting the phone, but it's a hustle to set up things again (e.g. eSIM reinstall).

Ok so its not rom related, im on beyondrom. I got that since the Abril update. Maybe is really google related i will look for the article ive read. Its temporary solved by going to playstore and uninstall webview updates. And dont let it update.
At least the warning will stop and not pop up during other apps use. Its what im doing

Yeah, that's the workaround. The default version seems to not have the issue. I've been doing that, but still puzzling. Maybe June Update or some Google play updates will fix it. One can hope ....

No idea how to install this in the secure partition. I suppose it's secure folder. But web view (non beta) is installed by default.

Reverted webview to 112 and that seems to work just fine as before. Guess something got broken somewhre after 112 and it affects some apps and their implmentation.

I have factory reset the phone, and re-installed apps and so on. With the latest version of WebView I don't get any more crashes (it was crashing before the reset).
Seems that's one way to solve it. Full reset ... a nuissance to restore all accounts, cards, etc.

Samsung prompted to uninstall the latest Webview update because detected some apps are crashing including Discord.
In addition, apps such as Discord may crash on startup unless the cache is cleared manually from settings.
Update: 114.0.5735.131 still crashing some apps.

I already made feedback to Google own forum to no avail. Previously made feedback somewhere on Reddit but the subreddit I was posted undergoing protest by made subreddit private indefinitely.
Then I found out something Google changed in version 113 there:
In WebView 113.0.5656.0 and later, this is enabled automatically if the app is declared as android:debuggable="true" in its manifest; otherwise, the default is false
