Installed v6.1.09 PLayService, now i get some fc's with playservice with every boot, after some time its ok but after reboot same again...

Never got such behavior with 5.x versions. I tried deleting data from playservice app, but didn't work... any tipps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PunchUp:
I flashed .09 and no trouble here. Must be something else that you've done wrong
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] . . read what I wrote again . . I said nothing about libs there . . my coent was there were 4 apps total in these gapps which were not up to date due to conflicts. Yes 2 of them are due to libs as I was corrected about. But regardless, within the actual gapps play services and play games are resolution specific as I stated. There is the 2+2=4 apps not up to date unless an end user flashes the play services update add-on. My comment was to clarify that only 4 apps are out of date within the gapps packages, while the rest are current with the play store. Sorry if my comments were confusing, and as always your work is top notch.

And if you resolved the lib conflict, my current understanding was just a few days behind ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] nihilista:
I've done nothing than all i did before, flashing new gapps, flashing playservice upgrade, same gapps (minimal), same procedure, same ROM, same other apps and services....so nothing wrong from my side. Maybe last update interacts with some apps like xposed modules or somewhat, i don't know, but as i said, all versions before 6.0x never made any problem for me...

Hi, a question that don´t see in the FAQ.

I can use these GAPPS on Nexus 7 Stock 4.4.4?

Thanks

Sorry my English
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
No, only for custom aosp roms
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JaviLerma:
Ok, Thanks

Hi

I'm using these GAPPS from de beginning with all my AOSP's rom but when I try to update Cyanogenmod 11 via OTA my Play Store is missing... I've got to replace all the GAPPS package :( all the others apps are still there.

Thanks in advance
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Paul_Bags:
Are these offical google releases, or 'offical' releases from a particular group?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PunchUp:
Read the OP and you shall get all your answers
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DelGreco:
I use the Mini version and I am moving to the Micro version because I can no longer update due to the increase in the package.

If I understood, I must:

Manually wipe (format) your System partition

Flash your ROM

Flash GApps package

Any Flash Addon Modules (optional)

Wipe the Dalvik Cache &

reboot

In this case I do not lose my data or my applications?

No adjustment to do it again?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PunchUp:
No you won't lose anything unless you have converted a user app to system
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] rhen84:
Yes this is correct. You won't lose any data.

Anyway, doing a nandroid backup before messing with system always a good thing.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DelGreco:
Merci :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Paul_Bags:
I did a couple of times. It says it's official, but it doesn't say offical what, so question stands.

Official PA.. Paranoid Android is not related to Google.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jbrantley130:
The title of this thread reads "Up To Date Official PA Google Apps"..... that's official paranoid Android Gapps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Paul_Bags:
Ok cheers, clearly I'm missing something. Is there a 'newbie gapps' or 'gapps explained' thread anywhere?

I just assumed if google won't let devs bundle it that they'd make it avalible themselves, hence searching for 'official gapps' led me here. I also don't see the point in allowing 3rd party release but only if it's not bundled.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PunchUp:
Why would Google provide GApps for custom ROMs?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SlimSnoopOS:
EXTREMELY shorthand explanation: if you want to use AOSP roms, you'll need to flash a gapps package to have access to the Play Store. There's a legal reason or some explanation as to why AOSP roms have no access to Google apps inside their self contained zip. [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] provides one such source for an exhaustive gapps catalog.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Kal-El7:
I'm a little confused. What is PA Gapps. I read it in the beginning someone try to explain it, but it wasn't more explicitly clear to me. I do apologize for asking. I stumbled on this thread. Also, am I to understand this is a Nexus only compatible product? I'm on a Galaxy Note 3 from T-Mobile.

Thanks so much!

Also, are these blacked out (inverted)? I'm having a hard time trying to find Gapps that are routinely updated but also blacked out. Team Blacked Out hasn't spend much time on black Gmail/Maps/G+, etc anymore.

This PA Gapps thing has quite intrigued me.

Thanks again.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
These GApps packages are produced and sanctioned by team Paranoid Android. All files within are either extracted directly from offical nexus factory images, or their playstore updated counter parts. They are then packaged to mimic the nexus factory image file structure. All app updates within are checked for library files, and if found they are extracted and then deleted from within the apk (to save space and its how google does it) and the libraries are placed in /system/lib where they belong.

All these reasons are why they are called "official". They are gathered, packaged, and released in a way to completely mimic a nexus app suite experience using only googles own files and file structure as a model.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Syk69:
Do you have xposed framework installed? I know that if you have the module "Disable location consent" it will give you FCs of play services. So disabling that module will get rid of the FCs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
and this Xposed module is not needed anymore with the new Google Play Services package... first time it ask for consent, you have a check box to "do not ask me again" option.

Hey guys I'm having trouble downloading / updating SOME apps from Play Store, they stay on "Downloading" and never download.

Apps are:

-Google Plus (update)

-Google Play Music (download)

-Sunrise Calendar (download)

-Handcent SMS (download)

Other apps download and update as they should.

ROM is CM11, clean install, already tried clearing cache and dalvik, and already tried erasing Play Store caché and data.

Do you think this could be Gapps related?

I installed Mini PA GApps with Play Services / Play Games Update Module, Google Camera Addon and Google Keyboard Addon Module too.

And then I remove some other GApps with GApps Remover to free some system space (100mb free now, problem persist).

***EDIT: I AM NOT using Xposed***
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Just Venting a little

I just spent 15-20 minutes double-checking the Play Services Updater files and verifying the checksums, just to make certain there were no errors in the package. I did this because of the 3-4 reports of FC's that were reported by a couple users. Now, I come back here and find out that these users are using Xposed!

Any responsible user should be aware that reporting problems that you experience using Xposed or similar utilities should NEVER be reported to a dev unless you can verify the problem exists on a clean install. It's even further irresponsible to make these reports while failing to mention that you are using Xposed.

I can tell you this, I will be far more selective in the future about doing any investigative work when users report issues.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] brisac:
i am using your micro gapps and everything's fine but google play services use a lote of battery i think. what should i do?

thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
That's interesting, because I was just thinking that the new version of Play Services is much better on battery.

This is probably as good a time as any to restate a couple of things. ALL of the GApps included here in PA GApps directly from Google and are NOT modified in ANY way. That was also the way that [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] did it. All a good GApps installer does is place Google's files in the proper place on your device.

To suggest that BaNkS GApps perform better than these or that PA GApps perform better than BaNkS is completely impossible. It is, however, possible that updated applications do not perform as well as their predecessors, but these types of issues or problems would need to be directed at Google to fix as all I'm doing is packaging up the latest versions of Google's apps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] xergio24:
Well... as far as me, I am not using Xposed (post updated).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tool_king:
I can confirm this. Battery life really got better with latest Play Services for me. But maybe it's just some kind of placebo. ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
i've seen this on a few devices.

i don't know if it's a device issue or Google's servers, but usually stopping just that particular app's download and then hitting "Update" again and putting it back into the queue solves it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] __Michael__:
Thanks , now everything OK.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
i can confirm this too. my G2 goes from 100% to 99% in 6 hours idle time with a few short calls in between. maybe those guys failed to check for wakelocks from other apps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PunchUp:
With a few calls as well? Whoa that's unreal :eek:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] nihilista:
Sorry for that, but its just this one little xposed module that did make the problems. Before i never found any problems or fc's with your package, so first i did is report a bug here and hoping anyone has a solution. Someone has, that works and now all is fine and all are happy ;)

Btw, another sorry for reporting bug that's not gapps bug, but if installing something new normally thats the first reason for some problem afterwards, not now but most the time :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sidneyk:
Or restarting WiFi or even rebooting and trying again.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] xergio24:
Rebooting, wiping cache and dalvik, stopping download and trying again, clearing Play Store cache and data... I have already tried all those things.

And that's why I thought it could be GApps related... :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
when you've stopped & started the download, was it the Stop for all the concurrent downloads?

i've found the problem often recurrs with that vs. Stopping & restarting just the specific App that seems frozen in the download process.

ymmv
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Chaplan:
Do I need to flash google play services updater If I install stock google apps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LordNerevar:
I don't use Xposed. SlimKat is the ROM I use if it could be dpi related. Will services auto-update from Google if I just install the 0923 full gapps? If so, I'll try that and see if there's any difference.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hvihavai:
Hello,

I have problem with gapps and dirty flashing new nightly.

If I don't flash gapps after the rom update (as backup scripts should work) most of the gapps disappear (sorry did not take a hard look, as most of them were missing, booted quickly to recovery and did a restore). If I flash gapps and play service update after rom update, Google+ is not installed but other apps are, and couple of other apps (non gapps) disappear as well. These apps are then listed as not compatible with my device in the Play store. Only when I format /system manually and then flash rom and gapps everything works. (but need manually copy couple files and apps to /system...)

So is this problem with the addon.d scripts or what?

I did not have this problem when I was only on M releases of CM (M5 to M9). Now with 0923 and 0925 nightly builds I have this problem.

Thanks.

gapps modular full 0923

playservices 0924

CM 11 20140923 nightly (and 20140925)

HTC One X (endeavoru)

And I have xposed installed, sorry.

I don't think that's what it means. Changed my dpi from default 480 to 440 and some apps now show incompatible in playstore. :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Just to clarify, it's impossible for anyone to change their device's dpi. The DPI (aka PPI) is the number of Dots (or Pixels) Per Inch in your display. This is a hardware measurement.

If you're hacking your build.prop and changing the dpi, you're really only changing the resolution of the content being displayed. That's also why our install script does not use the build.prop dpi to determine the proper version of Google Play Services for your device. We actually use the manufacturer's information that is hard-coded into the Recovery you are using on your device. As long as you're using a reliable Recovery provider, you'll get the version of Google Play Services that your device requires when you use our Play Services/Games Updater.

As to the Universal version, that version does support all resolutions, however Google will still silently update your device to the version that matches your dpi.

gapps issue when updating cm rom

first of all thanks for your great work, i have been using your gapps for more than a year now and it is amazing.

i start having an issue with it since august until now , even with your last gapps when i update my cm rom manually throw recovery or OTA my google applications are gone .

i have made a nandroid backup and made a recovery log for the update processing , hope you can find the issue

Every time I update an soap ROM I flash gapps again. It's automatic for me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Viper LABs:
When the ROM's backup/restore script is OK, there is absolutely no need to do this, it's just useless and doesn't make any sense. Though, this is completely different story, when the script is a mess.

Useless or not I've done it for years
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hvihavai:
Thanks, sounds like the same problem as I'm having.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Only way ours can fail now is if the ROM update pushes the /system partition past full once the GApps are being added back, in that case something will get broken. This is avoided by the installer though, by making sure there is a buffer of free space for ROM growth, so we should be covered. :good:

Definitely doesn't look like a space problem, yet that's the only potential way this could happen that I can see.

If you continue to have issues with the latest update, please do post the recovery.log and, hopefully, an explanation will make itself known. If not, we could try a special build with some debug code that might be able to shed some further light on what's happening during the restore process. Also, please provide a link to the actual ROM you're using so we can check to make certain the problem isn't there as the actual backup script is in your ROM, not these GApps.

Addon.d Restore Issues

For those who are having issues with missing apps after a restore, please make certain to tell us the device and Recovery you're using. In fact, the more information you can provide, the better.

Right now, we're looking at the possibility that this issue occurs ONLY on Samsung devices or, possibly, devices with an external SDCard. We're looking at alternative methods of backing up when the RAMDisk provess too small, but good reporting will help us in the right direction. Recovery logs are especially helpful.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hvihavai:
Just starting to do my next update, but for your information I've HTC device without external sdcard... :(

update:

tried to update to 0926 nightly without manual format or without flashing gapps. Did not work at all. So now restoring and doing format of /system then flashing rom, gapps and playservices.

Recovery.log is attached.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Request for Data

Would you guys please flash the attached zip file in recovery and then attach or paste the 'gapps-test.txt' file that's created (

It'll be in the same folder as the zip

). This information will help us (actually [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] is doing all the heavy lifting on this one) determine a better course of action to take.

Also, any other users who would like to flash this and report back results would be great. We don't need any Nexus devices, but all others would be helpful.

View attachment pagapps-testinfo-signed.zip

To summarize the problem: The GApps addon.d backup script will measure the amount of RAM on your device and if it determines that there may not be sufficient space in RAM to backup your apps, the script will backup to /sdcard instead. The problem that some users are experiencing is do to the fact that /sdcard may be in an area of your device that does NOT properly supports linux ownership and permissions. When this happens, the "copy" command will fail, leaving the apps not backed up.

The test script will help us determine if there is a better location to hold the backed up files. Note: If we were supporting a single device or brand, this would be a snap. It's trying to support all devices that makes this prove difficult.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hvihavai:
Thank you for explanation.

I updated my last post with the recovery.log and will do this test next.

But have to ask what have changed from early august and M9 release of CM, because this did work then. Have gapps size increased so much that the backup was done to ramdisk and now it is trying to use sdcard?

Thanks.
