I tested MS Office both on my Nexus 5 and HD+ the day it came out (for free) and it didn't take me long to decide to stick with QuickOffice. Functionality is very limited in MS Office (at least when I tested it).

I suspect the iPad version is better (the one that requires 365 subscription). That's the market Microsoft really wants with this.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Check the install script I remove GoogleNow.apk during install.

What you're trying to do will only likely create more problems. The reason is that Android really doesn't care about how you name the app in your system partition. I use the exact same app names as Google does (to be consistent and avoid problems), but most other GApps packagers create their own names. Android only cares what the package name of the app is. So, if you rename Velvet to GoogleNow and then Velvet gets installed again, there are 2 apps with the same package name installed and you WILL have problems.

This is why I like to avoid these type of discussions here in this thread. Unless you really know what you're doing, you can create more problems for yourself.

I think Google is still working out the bugs on their new "Drive" apps. I'm going to skip the Drive update this week (haven't seen it officially arrive on any of my devices, anyway) and choose a course of action next week. Until Google decides how to incorporate Drive, Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Quickoffice into their factory images, I'm inclined to leave the new Docs and Sheets out of GApps. It'll keep GApps from growing another 20+MB, too.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
I'm sorry, I thought I did know what I was doing. I guess I was obviously wrong or I wouldn't have needed to ask for help.

I studied your script very carefully. Your script removes GoogleNow.apk from /priv-app - I put it in /app, so that shouldn't be the problem. I know that the app name doesn't matter, I just decided on GoogleNow to follow the other Google naming conventions like GoogleCamera. In my addon.d script I tell it to delete Velvet from /priv-app (and /app just as a precaution) and since I named the script with a larger number it should run after the gapps one, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

I'll respect your request though, and not discuss this further in here. If anyone can see why my script isn't working properly please send me a PM.

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] thank you for all of the time you've put into these GApps packages and for being so responsive in the forums.

EDIT: I'm an idiot. My script was both logically and syntactically fine. It was just formatted improperly. I wrote it at work and used WordPad. I just re-made the exact same thing using Notepad++ and it works perfectly. Stupid Microsoft.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
I get your line of thought, everything seems logical. You're right, though. Perhaps it's time to reexamine this clusterf of Google's Office apps. To save space and leave everything as close to factory images in the stock package as possible, I'm leaning towards agreeing and saying leave Docs and Sheets out for now unless say with 4.4.3 they come bundled in the stock image. Then, I would add them if I were you only to the stock package. Every other package should only include Drive to save space (assuming it has it already) and not include Docs or Sheets. I'm also wondering what you could remove beyond Pico TTS. I always remove TalkBack and Street View. I was talking with Michael Banks a while back, and he removed Street View from the his install. No negative side effects. I'm assuming Street View is now included with Maps, and it hasn't seen an update in years. So maybe removing it if there's no negative side effects would be a great idea for all packages. Less unneeded bloat.

After doing a search in this thread I could not find an answer to my question, so now I am going to ask, is is possible to add my own apks and data into the gaps zip even extracting and then rezipping with the apps I want to install rather than reinstalling after flashing? also if that can't be done how to create a separate zip that I can flash?

All help would be great

Great !!

For micro modular package, why is there no option to remove mms aosp package ?

Another thing, I see in the installation log file "install.faceunlock=true", is there a way to not install this package (and genie widget too).

Thanks !!

Yes. Just don't add too much like I did. I exceeded the amount in /system/app and GApps was failing.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
The reason MMS removal is not an option in Micro Gapps is that there is no replacement app (i.e. Hangouts) available in the package.

As to FaceUnlock, that's currently on my "ToDo" list. I'm also working on an idea to remove unwanted apps, but it could be awhile.

It's only found in Google Stock GApps, and it's still there.

Google keyboard is force closing on stock gapps, so I'm beginning to suspect a problem with the stock package.

I tried wiping system, cache, dalvik cache, and secure. Then flashed the 5/4 nightly of CM 11 and the 5/3 stock gapps. Then wiped cache and dalvik, and then rebooted. Still had trouble with constant force close of gapps. I don't know if this is a factor, or not, but I do have a /sdcard/.forcenocamera file defined since the Google camera isn't very functional when installed with CM11.

I finally repeated the flash procedure but flashed full modular gapps instead and everything seems to work (although with some lag sometimes).

I finally did a clean install into a new ROM slot (of the 5/4 CM 11 nightly and the 5/3 stock pa gapps). That installation has no force close problems. I guess this means something is corrupted in my data partition of my fairly clean install (wipe system, cache, dalvik cache, secure partitions then flash cm and pa gapps then install then wipe cache and dalvik then reboot).

Guess I need to start over with the clean install. Sigh.

I recently switched ROMs and ended up having to use a non-standard DPI (eyes aren't quite what they used to be). Anyway, I'm seeing a few "device is not compatible" notices in the Play Store for apps that I already have installed, and which are running fine.

I thought that the Play Store apk included in these gapps had been modified to avoid DPI issues.

I'm running into issues on the latest 5/3 GAPPS packages on a clean install of LiquidSmooth 5/4 on my Sprint Galaxy S3.

I have tried both Stock and Full with problems on each.

note: I want to keep the default camera (I like Google Camera but not for everything)

Stock Problems

Both .forcenocamera and .gapps-stock doesn't seem to be stopping the Stock installer from replacing the default camera or SMS app. I created these files via Notepad and saved them as .forcenocamera and .gapps-stock to keep the default messenging app (saved as All Files instead of text doc). After installation I can only find Google Camera and Hangouts.

Full

Liquidsmooth doesn't appear to install a keyboard, so I have to install the keyboard module separately on first install (before installing Swype/Swiftkey). I also installed the emoji support module. After installing these 3 I am able to properly set-up the ROM but I cannot find the default Camera app. Google Camera IS installed but it should not be installed after installing Full, right?

Love PA gapps, they are great. Only thing is, with the may 3rd update, it has caused a crap ton of NLPCollectorWakelocks. I just reverted back to 4/26 gapps, and the wakelocks are not even showing up. Anyone else experiencing this, or is it something on my end?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jorceshaman:
From my understanding, none of the apps have been modified in any way. HOWEVER, old versions of certain apps was chosen to be included instead of the newest so that your device will grab the correct update on it's own.

forcegallery

Quick question I am on a galaxy s3 and want to replace the stock gallery with google gallery I am a little confused about the instructions

"To use this feature, place a file in /sdcard/ called '.forcegallery '. Inside the file, type the name of the Nexus device for which you want the Google Gallery installed. Valid options are:

hammerhead (for the Nexus 5)

flo or deb (for the Nexus 7 2013)

mako (for the Nexus 4)

manta (for the Nexus 10)

tuna (for the Galaxy Nexus)"

What type of file should it be? Im assuming a text file. Also which nexus device should I write? I am assuming either manta (nexus 10) or flo (nexus 7) also which sdcard would I put it in? Internal or external?

So assuming my assumptions are correct I should place a standard text file called ".forcegallery" with the word "manta" inside on my internal sd card.

Thanks for the clarification anyone!

You could try:

1.Wipe system partition

2.Flash your rom again

3.Flash Full/Mini/Micro Modular Gapps (your choice)

4.Wipe Cache/Dalvik

Reboot and see if stock camera and mms apps are installed.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] meatboy371:
I don't know. Maybe you installed google camera as a system app at some point (from a gapps package), but never flashed a rom after it. As gapps don't intall stock camera, you would still have google camera...Just a guess, though.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Nobody seems to want to take the time to do a Clean Flash when they have issues, yet everyone who does reports their issues are completely resolved. A Clean Flash involves performing a Factory Reset, System Partition Wipe, and THEN flash ROM and GApps. If you do a nandroid BEFORE this clean flash, you can restore your device and have wasted very little time if it doesn't work. And, if it does work, you've solved your issue.

Not quite sure what you're asking here, but if you're having difficulty using .forcenocamera with Google Stock GApps, your problem may be that you don't have the proper location for /sdcard/. Place .forcenocamera in the same location as pa_gapps.log - AFTER you've flashed PA GApps at least once. This would be the location your Recovery refers to as /sdcard/.

Thank you for coming back and reporting this. I've probably read 10-12 similar reports this past month or so saying the same thing - "A Clean Flash fixed my problems".

As stated clearly on the OP: "All apps are untouched, we do not change or modify Googles' applications but deliver them as-is"

First off, A Clean Flash would likely solve most of the problems you're having. I strongly recommend that you consider that option. A Clean install means performing a Factory Reset, wiping the System Partition, and THEN installing your ROM and GApps.

Second, you CANNOT flash DIFFERENT GApps packages on top of each other without having problems. You can try the method outlined in FAQ #6, but if your problems are not all resolved, a Clean Flash would be recommended.

Third, it's likely you haven't found the proper location for /sdcard/ on your device. Place .forcenocamera and .gapps-stock in the same location as pa_gapps.log - AFTER you've flashed PA GApps at least once. This would be the location that your Recovery refers to as /sdcard/.

As I've stated above, the proper location for /sdcard/ on your device would be the same location where you find pa_gapps.log - AFTER you've flashed PA GApps at least once. This would be the location that your Recovery refers to as /sdcard/.

Second, I can't tell you IF or even WHAT device Gallery will work for you. You might ask in your ROM thread. Also, please note the the major difference between Google Gallery and the AOSP Gallery is the built-in ability to sync to Picasa. If you're expecting more, you'll likely be disappointed.

I monitor/read ALL the top Android Forums on a daily basis. I also use Website-Watcher to monitor the web pages for all the Play Store apps. I'm also experimenting with IFTTT recipes to further advance the results. About the only way I'd miss an update is if one came out AFTER I began to build the packages.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] snak1e:
Yep a clean flash did solve my problems. I always thought that a clean flash was a Factory Reset, Clearing Cache, and clearing Dalvik Cahce. I thought that most ROMs already wiped the System Partition, but apparently this wasn't happening on Liquidsmooth. Thanks for pointing out the pa_gapps.log file, but I think I'm good to go using Gapps Full + Google Keyboard module. For my future reference which of these 2 files is the correct file?

/data/media/pa_gapps.log or

/mnt/shell/emulated/pa_gapps.log
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
Those are both the same location (uses a symlink) really but go with data/media/.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
And now Wallet has just updated as well.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Actually, you're correct in that most ROM's perform a system wipe. However, unless you manually deleted the backup scripts in /system/addon.d/, the ROM would first backup GApps and then it would restore them after it wipes the system. So, you're never really starting clean.

That's why I recommend manually wiping the System Partition. Others recommend deleting the scripts in /system/addon.d/ before flashing your ROM. Either way should work, but I prefer knowing it was done.

How to install FULL gapps WITHOUT having stock keyboard replaced

I saw the OP has some workarounds that help prevent Stock MMS app, Stock browser etc, form being replaced. Is there any such safe way to PREVENT replacement of stock (CM/AOSP) Keyboard from being replaced? I hate the original google keyboard, doesn't allow long press on characters for symbols... Only available for top row. And I know there's workarounds like holding down the symbol key then swiping to the symbol etc, but that's a hassle too. But I actually like all the other original Google gapps, and so want a way to flash FULL gapps without the Google Keyboard...

Any Ideas :confused:
