You should try to flash the Play Services Add-on Module after you've flashed a new PA GApps update. This will update Play Services to the latest and proper version for your device (see OP).

Post the logs; both the recovery log and the one created by the installer itself. Status # is meaningless.

need some urgent help here! Google Keyboard force closes.

1. Clean flashed latest PA ROM for galaxy nexus

2. Flashed Mini Modular gapps

3. rebooted device

4. Flashed Google Keyboard addon module

getting force close errors.

update: removed the apk file from system\apps

when trying to install from the playstore it says app already exists.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
I think the issue was you should've installed the keyboard module before booting. Play Store won't know an app is randomly deleted from /system until you reboot and let Dalvik/PacManager clean up.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gautam_nexus:
shall i try it again?

1. format system

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Gapps

4. flash camera and keyboard module

5. reboot

update1: Just followed the above steps google keyboard still force closes. :(

update2: removed the apk file, rebooted to recovery cleared dalvik+cache, tried installing the latest apk.

getting app not installed error. :(

update3: i am not able to select google keyboard in language & input settings.

The only way I can install the Google keyboard on my XT912 is on a clean install (wipe data as well as system). If it even boots once with the stock keyboard, Google keyboard will constantly fc if it is installed afterward.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gautam_nexus:
This sucks!

So I should do this to avoid this issue:

1. Wipe everything (system,data,factory reset, dalvik,etc )

2. Flash ROM

3. Flash Mini Modular Gapps

4. Flash Google Keyboard

5. Flash Google Camera

6. Wipe Cache & Dalvik

7. Reboot phone

For future - The dev should take off the AOSP Keyboard from the Mini Modular gapps package and put Google Keyboard there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
There is no keyboard in Mini Modular, it's just keeping your ROM one, which is causing problems after Google Keyboard is installed.. The issue was you booting before flashing Google Keyboard, but once your data's borked, it's borked. In the future it should be fine as long as you remember to not let it boot with AOSP Keyboard.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapier:
The AOSP keyboard is included in the ROM not in the GAPPS. And the packages are for all not only for a couple. If you or somebody else doesn't like the AOSP keyboard fine, they can install the Google one. But a ROM should come with a keyboard and the one available if you build from source or use AOSP base is not the Google one. Everyone should have a choice, don't consider yours is the best just because you like it.

You have to flash the rom once again with a full wipe and flash the keyboard module before you boot your rom....hope it helps

I figured that, but the OP says the stock package comes with it, so why must I flash the module? All the previous full stock Gapps didn't require this. =\

Hi,

the last time I flashed a GAPPS package was right after I flashed CM11 a month ago. I have not flashed a new GAPPS package even after CM11 was upgraded to 4.4.4. Many of the Google Apps have been updated through play store and so far everything works beautifully. Is there anything in the GAPPS package that gets_NOT_ updated automatically via play store? I am just trying to figure out whether I have to regularly flash a newer package...

So with 0 Gapps I never have to update the gapps? Once I download the gapps it will auto update itself.

Sent from Siri
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
The apps will function exactly as if you downloaded them directly from the Play Store. That's because they're exactly the same apps you download from the Play Store.

That means you can install future updates from the Play Store or you can skip the Play Store updates and install an updated GApps package. The choice is yours.

The short answer to your question is 'yes'. The apps will update through the Play Store automatically, if you turn on the auto update function in the Play Store app.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Clarkkent434:
So If I flash Rom A today with 0 day Gapps and don't flash anything or download a new version of 0 day Gapps for 6 months. Then flash Rom B with the same six month old 0day gapps. The Gapps still will be up to date with the latest version of the apps on the market. Also I never run auto update. I don't trust it.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:
What you described is correct, believe it or not, because there is a backup script in this Gapps package that will backup your gapps in the state they are in when you flash (in your example, most of them would be post - play store update) and restore any newer app version than what was flashed in the gapps package. This is assuming no data wipe though, so your example may not be correct because most moves to different roms would require a wipe.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
0 Day GApps simply means that our GApps package is kept up-to-date (No Waiting) - perhaps that's confusing you.

The GApps don't magically update themselves. You'd need to either update your apps from the Play Store or install an updated GApps package if you want the latest version of the app installed.

Just to clarify my understanding - there's no need for me to download a new Gapps package from here once it's installed, unless the installer script mentions there's an update (i.e. the upgrade from 1003 to 1010 which fixed the 4.3.1 issue)?

In other words, the Gapps package has done its job, and the standard Play Store will continue to keep it up to date?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
Yes, you're right. I download them so if I gonna change ROM I don't have to download gapps again. As soon as I download the updated package I delete the previous one and keep this in my stuff folder but don't use it right now because I installed them couple of weeks ago and they update themselves from Google Play. There is absolutely no need to reflash gapps as long as you don't change ROM or clean reflash the ROM you're using right now (only if you wipe /system you have to flash gapps again).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Pixelvernichter:
Will they work with CM 10.2 on GT-I9100 ?

I get crashes from every app when flashing cm with full package, minimal package maps crashes.\
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:
Since that's a 4.3 ROM it should work with no problems. Are you wiping cache, dalvic & system before flashing the ROM & then Gapps package?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] :
Great work :) Thanks.

One question:

For the complete version: Would it be beneficial to make an AROMA Installer version where people could select which Google app they want and need? This would stop all the "I want this, but not this. I want that but not that."

That would basically cover everyone with selective needs :P

Cheers :)

That looks like a .txt file. Just create a new file on your device using ES File Explorer, open with the ES File Explorer built-in editor and list your apps to remove.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] steeltkb:
Like he said, you really have a .txt extension on that file. Your OS is hiding the extension. In Win 7, bring up a Windows Explorer window ("My Computer"), press Alt, then click "Tools" -> "Folder Options", then "View" tab, then uncheck "Hide extensions for known file types".

Now you should see the .txt extension, and should be able to delete it.

If YouTube doesn't correctly detect your device capabilities, there is a problem in your ROM or in YouTube.

YouTube is developed by Google, not by anybody here. TKruzze "merely" packages apps from Google so they can be flashed instead of downloaded from Play Store. (Quotation marks because both the result and the work involved are significant).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UnitedOceanic:
I am interested in how you remove the libs from the apk.

Do you just open it as a zip and delete the lib folders or do you use a skript? And do you zipaling the apks after you removed the libs?

Not really on topic here. However, it's in Keyboard Settings (Enable Gesture Typing)

Discovered this recently myself, so far my solution has been to use the GApps Remover, and delete the AOSP ringtones/notification sounds (replacing them with the Nexus ones). This freed up 69mb on /system and that seems to have fixed the addon.d /tmp space issues.

A long-term solution would be to modify the GApps addon.d scripts to make them function slightly more independently of the overall backup/restore process, and have it backup instead to /sdcard/tmp/ or something similar, where we know there should be space. What do you think [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]? I can look into whipping something up once I'm done moving my stuff to my new apartment, probably next week or so. :good:

Wouldn't be too hard to do in bash. Use the 7za commandline utility for Linux and have it delete the files, then add your zip aligning script. :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I was actually thinking this would be impossible as the backup and restore scripts are part of the ROM. in fact, I've never even given them much of review. However, if the backup script is really just using the add-on.d scripts as a sort-of subroutine, there's no real reason we couldn't make them more functionally independent.

However, we should only use the SDCard/tmp in cases where /tmp may not be large enough as the backup and restore process will likely be much slower than using /tmp, which I believe is actually RAM.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
I didn't know if this would be of use or not, but thought I'd throw it out there anyway.

There are a lot of questions from people (whether or not they post their log) about why the GApps didn't flash and said insufficient space.

Adding a couple lines in the updater-script would give an output that might be a little more plain for users, though it's otherwise superfluous.

ui_print("Insufficient storage space available in");
ui_print("System partition. You may want to use a");
ui_print("smaller GApps (i.e. BaNkS Minimal GApps)");
ui_print(" ");
ui_print("You need ",file_getprop("/tmp/gapps.prop","free_space_reqd_kb")," KB system free space.");
ui_print("You only have ", file_getprop("/tmp/gapps.prop","free_system_size_kb")," KB.");

Mini GApps doesn't include the keyboard. I do, however, provide the necessary library support if the ROM you're using has gesture support in its keyboard.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] shawnbrennan55:
Just depends on which Google apps you want. The full package along with the remover gives you the flexibility to choose exactly what to install as long as you have enough room on your system partition for the initial install of the full package.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Oh it definitely is just called by the backup script, basically like:

for i in /system/addon.d/*; do
$i pre-backup;
done

then backup, then post-backup, then pre-restore, etc. etc. I've modded my own addon.d script to backup/restore my custom kernel, among other things, so this sounds like a plan. ;)

I'll make it use it's own directory in /tmp to keep things straight if it does fit, and if not then /sdcard/tmp, both of which it'll clean up after itself. :good:
