Hello,

I got the same problem, albeit with the 5.0 package while trying to flash a lolipop rom, but i thought i might aswell post it here.

I got very limited knowledge exept flashing and backuping things), so i freaked out and restored my nand backup asap.

I'm on a nexus 4, and i always clean flash, i've never done a dirty flash once. So bascially when i flash your gapps, the only thing present on my phone are the rom i just flashed + the things left on my internal storage.

It's no big deal anyway, just to let you know.

Anyway, thanks for your work for us.

Cheers.

I flashed pico, why did this package remove Gmail and Chrome?

Serves no point in deleting apps not present in the package.

Lost all my tabs in Chrome :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tool_king:
The only problem seems to be, that you are a respectless noob, that is too lazy to read the OP and the FAQ properly.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] amishxda:
May be because when you flash pico it assumes that you want to downgrade. It works like this - first delete old Gapps and then install new one.

If you have backup of data taken by CWM then restore /data/data/com.android.chrome/ and change ownership to that of chrome app.

For e.g:

Install chrome

Note down current user and group of /data/data/com.android.chrome/

Restore /data/data/com.android.chrome/ from CWM data partition backup

busybox chown -R u0_a1: u0_a1 /data/data/com.android.chrome/

this should restore your tabs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] WORF84:
Thanks but I solved it differently and point of my post that is shouldn't delete it.

It should just ignore it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I thought about making that line: "All packages should work fine on any custom Android AOSP-based 4.4.x ROM". However, I figured we'd get a ton of "what does AOSP-based mean" questions, so I left it out. Sometimes you have to make things understandable to the lowest common denominator.

Logs? Post your logs if you're serious about getting any help.

One of the new features in the new 2.0 installer is that you can freely switch among the various GApps packages that are offered. In order to do that, it became neccessary to remove all existing GApps with every install.

The way it used to be, users had to manually wipe their system partition if they wanted to switch packages. However, people often just ignored that step and ended up causing all sorts of other problems and then came here to complain when things weren't working properly. The way I have it now, you can always be certain that the addon.d backup scripts will work properly. If I didn't do this, the backup script would end up overlooking your Gmail and Chrome apps when you did a ROM upgrade.

newbie question. how to install this package? do i need to find and install apk file one by one?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] andy hall:
"Flashing" the whole thing and reading the first three posts (I would suggest at least twice)

Look up your devide in the device list and read the unlocking/rooting and recovery threads.

Then read the Custom Rom threads and all will start falling into place.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Vader™:
rooting done

note 3 duos with latest firmware android 4.4.2 which doesn't include PlayStore, I didn't use Custom Rom

just simple question how to put these file into my device, only playstore i need it, i didn't like to modify original samsung rom, doesn't have free time to play with it

i have tried to install playstore apk which is didn't work, so somebody at note 3 thread suggest me to install this whole thing gapps to make it worked
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dandemonic:
These gapps packages are for custom roms, not for stock firmware.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dandemonic:
Have you checked allow install from unknown sources in settings/security on your device? If not then do so, accept the warning prompt, and try reinstall playstore apk.

Btw this thread not appropriate forum for your issue as it's not gapps related.

Hi

Is there any way (modification of install script??) I can force installing pa gapps over already installed cm gapps on my own risk?

Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Thanks for the support! I noticed that Bliss no longer recommend PA GApps for your ROM's. Any reason why?

Read FAQ #10. BTW, This is the KitKat GApps support thread. Lollipop GApps has it's own thread.

Read FAQ #1

While you're certainly free to hack these GApps for your personal use, this isn't the place to discuss it. However, why not just follow the steps in FAQ #8? It takes just a few seconds and you won't lose any of your data or settings.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SnowRaptor:
I wonder why would that be needed if you can format /system and reflash the rom + gapps usually without loss if data or configs
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gu5t3r:
I have some modified files, will need to create addon d script to preserve them, just thought maybe there is a switch, variable I could change to skip checking for installed gapps...

Sorry, just thought there might be a quick switch...

Thanks

In that case, it's likely you know what you're doing. Hack away! ;)

Can i flash paGapps in one rom where i have already flash another gapps package?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Scurzmann:
Yes if it's the same as your current gapps installed. But If you're switching to another gapps package then do

format system/cache/dalvik.

Reflash the rom and the new gapps.

Note that it won't delete your data

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] cserpentis:
There is an issue with Stock PA GApps package, that I think should be mentioned in the thread and probably in the header. In case ROM's SimToolKit is built using AOSP Messaging app, then removing MMS (and replacing it with hangouts) will effectively disable SimToolKit, a number of banking apps and some countries national identification services (Estonia, to name one) use SIM with secure element as one means of identification, so this can be an issue for some.

So if you use SimToolKit ( Stk.apk ), PA Gapps (Stock package) and Cyanogen 11/12, then configuring GApps not to remove stock MMS app (write "+MMS" in gapps-config.txt) should get the SimToolKit back (and don't forget to set up PIN on your sim, that, for some reason also affects some ROMs and Stk won't show up in a drawer without sim).

issues with stock :(

Was running Tmobile my touch slide 4G, KKDS 1.4 (4.4.4) w/ Davalik, TWRP 2.6.3 (or 2.3.6), Link2SD : but anyhow I had my phone all perfect (rom fresh flashed, all non-google apps configured) with 64G card - installed stock package with config file (attached) - I didnt have any goggle apps at all installed prior to this... (with exception of google play & google play services)....

I did like how the tool removal of certain Stock/AOSP applications (gmail, asop, calendar etc....)

Not sure why the following apps weren't part of any of the packages :

Chrome Remote Desktop

Google Translate

Google Voice

My Maps

My tracks

Google Docs

Google Sheets

Google Slides

Chrome Remote Desktop

Google Finance

Inbox

Android Device Manager

Blogger

Zagat

Google Fit

But regardless after using stock with attached config file (yes i did test it first)

1) many of the apps were nonresponsive - could not get Maps to work at all kept crashing....

2) phone became super slow

3) soon nothing seemed to work right

4) dont know if it was a cause but my SD card was pretty new but now its completely jacked (readonly) all of a sudden (cant even do low level format)

Not sure the cause

I had to get a new SD card and wipe the entire phone, redo everything.... now im only doing nano and installing the others through play...

the only other difference in doing now is switching from Davalik to ART, but still im really leery of using this - and am only planning to use PA_Gapps installer to remove certain Stock/AOSP applications (bloat removal) namely :

"

Browser

CalendarStock

EmailStock

GalleryStock

Launcher

MMS

PicoTTS

Studio

"

the only one i was unclear about is

ExchangeStock (Dont know if i need this - i use K9Mail) - perhaps someone can comment on if Exchange Services needed

But has anyone else had issues with the installer and maps? Dont know why the SD issue should matter as from what i gathered the script flashes them all to /system

Thanks. I think most of the bugs in Lollipop have been ironed out. Shouldn't be much longer before they're out of beta.

We have been doing things this way for over a year and 6 million downloads. Nobody has ever brought anything like this up, so I sincerely doubt any of this. When we remove the MMs app and replace it with Hangouts, I only remove Mms.apk. I don't touch the underlying MMs service, just the app. In addition, Google's own devices, including the Nexus 5, ONLY come with Hangouts. They don't even include the MMs or any alternative application. You really need to provide third-party confirmation of your facts if you'd like this investigated further.

Read FAQ #4. No logs = No Help.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Probably something I should not ask, but I would be in debt if the OP made a module to update Play Services, at least once they are actually stable.

This is a simple request - and of course, I am asking nicely. No is always an acceptable response. I do not like upgrading Play services and flashing a new version over it so much. Likely it's my own fault, but when I upgrade Play Services I tend to get issues when I flash newer stuff in the future. So I hold off unless I flash it through here.

Also, to anyone that wants to give me a smartass troll bait answer, go to hell before you post something else nasty. People always assume I am an inconsiderate jerk on XDA, namely in big threads. The OP is cool, as are most of the contributors here - I myself just donated to OmniROM and TWRP. But I'm so sick of getting lined at by the trolls. My nerves are shot with the trolls that say they are defending the OP, but in reality start fights and use the OP as an excuse to make mountains out of molehills. If I get one response that trolls me, I kid not I'm reporting it.

Why the rant? I'm afraid to say simple things thanks to the lovely troll answers I get. And worse yet, they always work in teams and thank each other. Getting sick of them. I mean it - don't overreact. I'm sick of avoiding XDA because of trolls.
