Ahhh great, if it's that easy! Thought I had to do something "more" like libraries, list of Apps or more stuff (don't know what exactly, that's why I asked). Just wanted to confirm that I wouldn't break anything by just deleting the .apk files and nothing else...

Thanks for your help!!!

So, instead of waiting for the PA GApps to be updated... can't I just use Titanium to integrate the updated apps into the system?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tsheeley:
Oh, I know that... I mean when the updated PA GApps comes out... instead of downloading the new full release and flashing and clearing dalvik in order to get the new versions into System... can't I just have TB do it?

Yep... they sure do. I installed them this morning when I updated to the new Purity. There were a couple updates that had to be done... but nothing big and mostly stuff I'm going to freeze with TB later anyways.

It's just a small camera update
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ultimategamer_:
Yea, but most ROM developers are going to want to update their ROM to the newest version..so I am guessing it will be redundant to release two versions after another..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] paychex:
Other than a new camera for the nexus devices, updating the gapps package is probably as simple as changing the number to 4.4.2
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] philidor:
In 4.4.1 (and 4.4.2 is the same) there is a new GEL launcher. So we need an updated gapps with it

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _Raziel666:
It has already been answered. You can always use the search button.

TKruzze said that he was waiting for the 4.4.1 factory images before updating the GApps. Since Google has decided to update to 4.2.2, I guess we'll be waiting for 4.4.2 factory images. And so on...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ultimategamer_:
Alright, so now it's just a waiting game for the the 4.4.1 version haha (considering it's easy for the 4.4.2 version to come out)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Lebo-Wog:
But what if 4.4.3 comes out than 4.4.4 ....

Maybe Google is trying to compete with rom developers...

Either way, this gapps pakage is mad, and i hope google

Releases the factory images soon.

I think not mate, surprisingly Google is actually fixing small things that they left, for example the alignment of the status bar icons, take a look back at jelly bean, the missing pixel stayed in the back button for ages, but now they are actually listening.

I won't be surprised if things like the left holo blue in the settings app gets fixed soon.

Maybe even the raw camera support could be coming soon, no one knows mate....

Would it be possible to get an absolute bare bones gapps package, like just the Play Store and all the behind the scenes stuff like contacts and calendar sync? In other words, just enough to get you in to the Play Store, while taking out everything you can download from the Play Store once you're up and running.

Anyone know how we get this back?

I've been getting very confused with AOSP keyboard v CM keyboard v Google keyboard?!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ink718:
If your having issues with keyboard wait until the PA GApps are fixed or else you have to install another GApps package. Here try this one: http://tinyw.in/yKnv If that doesn't work then download a package through Goo Manager.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sadsac:
I'm not having issues, keyboard is working fine, but I miss having the long press punctuation e.g. long press Z for ! etc and wondered how to get it back (or which keyboard has it). Cheers

Thanks, downloading now, does that include a different keyboard to PA gapps then? If I lose photosphere I guess I can flash banks phtosphere addon

Edit - keyboard unchanged :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] flaviocc:
Guys,

it´s necessary every time we have new one GAPPS to reflash the package ?

And if the update was made by google play (like you tube - yesterday i got the update).

Thank you.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:
Not necessary to flash the newest one everytime - Gapps will update from the market just like any other app. It's just a good idea because when you flash the GApps zip it places them in the system folder and until they update from the play store (if they do), the files are kept in a partition that you can't access for other apps, so you save space by downloading and flashing the latest GApps, but usually not a whole ton of space.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] flaviocc:
Humm...understood !

After youtube update i see the app in the first tab list of applications (my rom is in Portuguese language - i think is the download tab or similar).

Its possible to move (titanium or rom tolbox dont remeber) to system apps... i think.

Tks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:
Yes, you can make anything a system app with titanium backup (pro version feature AFAIK) and, by doing so, salvage unused space in your system partition (until the app updates through the play store). You can do it yourself with a root Explorer as well by simply moving the app into the system/app folder and fixing permissions to xx- x-- x-- followed by a reboot,
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I suppose every keyboard has its benefits and drawbacks. Personally, I use SwiftKey (on sale right now in the Play Store). When the Google Keyboard was recently added to the Play Store, we decided to add it to our GApps since it has many more features than the AOSP keyboard and it will likely also receive regular updates from Google. To avoid duplication and confusion, we removed the AOSP keyboard that comes standard on most ROM's. You might give it a try.

I'm not certain why you posted a link to the CM GApps on Goo??? Unless things have changed recently, there's NO keyboard included in that package. Mixing that package with ours is a recipe for problems.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Not certain why he recommended that package. If you flashed it over our GApps, you'll likely have problems - unless you wiped System first (you'd also need to reflash the ROM if you wipe System).

Also, I'm not certain which device you have, but Banks' Photosphere addon only includes the Nexus 4 camera. Our package includes the Photosphere camera for all 4 Nexus devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 (2013), Nexus 10, AND Nexus 4).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
It's not even necessary to flash a new GApps with every ROM update. You might check out the Common Questions & Answers.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Something strange happened, that's for sure. The version included in the GApps came directly from Play Store and IS v7.1.0. Maybe Google pushed a silent 7.1.0 update afterwards. No worry, it'll be updated next GApps.;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] *child:
At least the Google Keyboard from the Play Store has the long-press numeric shortcuts; the keyboard included in this Gapps does not.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Lozone:
Yes it is. Tablets don`t have the numbers long press.

If you change the hybrid mode to 360 for the keyboard you will see the numbers.

But I warn you this doesn't look good on tablets. LOL

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] el_smurfo:
Because on phones without SD cards, it really doesn't matter. Whatever isn't installed in system, is installed in data, with no impact on user storage. I prefer minimal gapps because the store updates my apps and I don't have compatibility problems. Try banks core apps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
Actually, you are wrong. A specific amount of space is allocated for system on all devices so using gapps places the apps in that space that will be used up no matter what, if you install those apps from playstore you are just wasting extra space since the apps do not get installed to system/app but rather data/app. Data/app IS NOT allocated therefore it wastes user space on any device without the ability to use an external sdcard. The store still updates your apps whether they are in system or data, that makes no difference, any compatibility issues will be had either way.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chemao:
I second this. I don't use anything that comes in the GApps except for except for the play store and contacts sync. That's all I want as well. I'm reading as much as I can but I feel a bit overwhelmed by the thought of customizing my own installer. I tried removing the unused junk from /system/apps but lately with kitkat and this new version of GApps, it just breaks the phone and I have to do a wipe since it won't boot into the homescreen.

If anyone can put together a core GApps with just the sync and play store, that would be awesome and I'm sure it would be very popular as well. Otherwise, if someone is willing to do a Skype call with me and work with me on it, I'll do the hard work of posting and maintaining it. Also send you a kickback for your tutoring as well. Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] androiduser44:
+1

but you can easily delete other stuff not needed before flashing.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
BaNkS Core GApps is what you're pining for. Play / Sync / bare bones and < 20MB. No need to re-invent the wheel.

A different philosophy from these GApps. Even the BaNkS Standard is significantly smaller than PA's Minimal.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bray424:
Installing an app on data isn't wasting space as it frees up that space on system. The only time you're wasting space is when a system app gets updated and you end up with two apks taking up space on your device; one on data and one on system.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] goldenratio:
Except /system is pre-allocated in size, and no one ever runs out of space there (on modern Android devices). You can't store user data in /system, so the extra space is typically wasted.

Compare this with /data, where the partition size is variable and specific to the device. Users are storing all sorts of things there -- apps, data, cached media, etc. -- and space is often maxed out.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] rockingondrums:
I'm sorry, but you have an extreme misunderstanding of Android flash storage partitions. Having duplicate apks sounds like some kind of bug from the days of Froyo on low-end hardware or something because I cannot recall seeing anyone having this issue, and I'm subscribed to something like 90+ threads. Maybe it was solved in ICS? I can't recall this being a recent problem (makes me wonder what device you have).

Completely putting aside the fact that your very first sentence is wrong, what exactly are you trying to free up this system space for? The only thing that's going to end up in /system/ is system stuff i.e. (which means "that is", not "for example" ) the ROM, assorted gapps, and mods. Aside from optionally making TiBu a system app and phone security apps like Prey/Cerberus/Lookout, what else do you think you're "freeing up" space for? It doesn't make any sense.

So from what I read the PA GApps have yet to integrate the camera updates introduced in 4.4.1?

Or is the camera updates part of the ROM and not GApps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
in the GApps zip, remove these lines from the updater-script in /META-INF/com/google/android/

# Removing the stock AOSP launcher for the new GoogleHome version with more features
delete("/system/priv-app/Launcher2.apk","/system/priv-app/Launcher3.apk","/system/app/Launcher2.apk","/system/app/Launcher3.apk");

remove GoogleHome.apk from /system/app/

you could leave GoogleHome.apk and just have it as a choice with your ROM's launcher

I think the prior suggestion for backing up and restoring the ROM's launcher would work too, without FC.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] kronflux:
Camera app is in the rom, not GApps.

As for the GApps, they haven't been updated yet for 4.4.1/4.4.2(the current one works, but doesn't include the latest updates since these releases)

In gel launcher which included in this gapps how to set 4x5 grid in app drawer and where is home screen customization option ? Like arrange grids for home screen.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
These are not options that are given in stock launchers, GEL is the stock launcher for the Nexus 5. If you want these options you need to use a 3rd party launcher, but then you will lose hotword prediction and the swipe to the right google now page.

The only way you can modify anything on GEL is to modify the whole roms dpi in the build.prop.

Question, could this be Paranoid Android ROM related or GAPPS related? I've been getting random reboots on PA ROM for GROUPER, 3.99.1-RC1. Stock kernel, I believe. Gapps from 11/02. This time, I was simply reading on it, not touching the screen, and it reset on me. Any ideas? I thought I was on the newest ROM, unless I missed one. Oh, and " unfortunately, tinydeathstar has stopped. " That happens a lot.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bray424:
Say you have Google App v1 on your system partition. Google App v2 comes out and Play Store updates it, where do you think that new version goes? Data partition. But the old version on system isn't erased, so now one app on data and one older version of the same app on system. That's why any time a newer version of a system app comes out and you try to uninstall it, you're prompted with something like "would you like to uninstall updates and revert to the factory version", because that older version is still on your system partition.

As for what you would use the extra system partition space for, there are a number of apps and mods floating around xda that need to be installed to system for them to work properly, like the various xperia app packages and the like. AdAway didn't work for me on KK until I put it on system. Also, /system/media/audio is a great place to keep any ring tones and notification sounds you have because keeping them on system partition prevents them from showing up in media players. Or I just tend to put any app that doesn't that doesn't receive frequent updates on system to give me more room on data. The system partition isn't some magical land that only the bravest and most noble of apps may enter, nine times out of ten you can stick any app you want in there and it works just fine.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
Actually, the whole point of gapps is to keep apps in the system, when you update a system app such as gmail it DOES NOT create 2 apps, it merely updates the system/apps located gmail application, I don't know what problems you have on your device but this does not happen on a normal running rom ever. I have been doing this since back on my Droid Incredible days years ago and that has never happened. If updating a system allocated app created a data app as well then the next time you flashed a rom you would not need to flash gapps to get your apps back because they would be on your internal memory in the data/apps section, this is not the case. If you don't reflash gapps you are missing those apps, thus proving your theory void.

As for extra system space, gapps goes there to keep that space from being wasted in the data partition which for those with devices like the Nexus line, it wastes space on the internal memory that we could be using for movies, songs, games etc. All of my notifications and ringtones are on the sdCard partition and none of them show up in my media btw either.

Adaway works perfectly fine on every version of Kit-Kat I have used by simply side-loading the app as you would any other so again.

Between claiming any ringtones/notification sounds not in system partition show up in media, apps like Adaway not working if not being placed in system/apps and apps magically creating doubles of themselves I think you have some serious problems on your personal device. Sorry man, your argument is just not relevant.
