NetworkLocation crashes under CM 4.4.2
Hello,
I installed Nogapps under CM 4.4.2, built May 4th, 2014.
Here Networklocation crashes when I use location service with "high accuracy" (German: hohe Genauigkeit).
Does anybody elase have that problem?

There will likely be a UnifiedNlp module to use Mozilla Location Services, but it's not high priority right now This is because Mozilla's data density is still very low and Mozilla has no official statement on the license of their data, nor is there an officially supported way to get API access ("We currently do not define a way to register a new API key").
I'm not aware of such a problem yet. Please provide a logcat (if you think it might contain private data, feel free to send it using PM)
I replaced the dogecoin address (i rarely use dogecoin anyway) with my bitcoin address, thanks for pointing out it was not there yet.

I've no problems on OmniROM 4.4.3, but I doubt it's a CyanogenMod specific failure.
For NetworkLocation and BlankStore: make sure they're installed in /system/priv-app/ and check if they're listed under Settings>Apps>All
Sorry to just answer now. Forget about it, no problem with apps, after updating I completely forgot to change permissions. :banghead:

marvin, what is the status on the custom Playstore? the official one is becoming worse , now that they dumbed down the display of app permissions
C'mon @MaR-V-iN give us a sign that new Playstore project isn't dead. Please?

It's not dead, but development is paused for the moment. Im focussing on GmsCore right now, which is getting more important every day. I'm pretty sure I won't continue work on Playstore this month, but maybe during July. I'll let you know once a first preview version is out
There's a new maps library, which can be used with OSM, Mapbox etc. Forked from OSMDroid and Apache-licensed. It's an Android library and set up for gradle. https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-android-sdk.

423Introduction:
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
This project will be continued under the name microG Project.

This project's goal is to make android a real open source project - where real means good for everyday use, without stalking google apps.
MaR-V-iN34As promised: here is a public testing release for Play Store Client (alias BlankStore)
Download in OP

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)13
