Install of the Google dialer fails on beta 3 for me. The release notes say some features will be disabled but I can't get it to flash... What am I missing?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tyea:
Same for me
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
You are both missing the fact that the current GoogleDialer application has scripts added to it that keep it from installing on any PA Rom, this is plainly stated in the OP. I'm sure now that the PA Team has figured out a way to allow it again TKruzze with remove those scripts in a future update. Until then try using the 12/12 version of Gdialer which does not contain that script. ;)

PA OTA Gapps

Hy all!

The PA OTA shows that there is a new gapps (pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20140117-signed), but after install, it sais again, that there is a newer verzion, but it's the same. Should I downlowd the original from the site and install that? Or what should I do?﻿ Pls Help! :)

Thanks in advance! ^^
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] thigger_tom:
Not sure if I have an answer - if it helps, I was on the 'stock' package and PA OTA told me that it wanted to install the 0117 'full'. I manually downloaded and installed 0117 'stock' and it's still asking to update to the 0117 'full'. It is wrongly detecting that the installed version is April 27 2014, although it's saying the version is '4.4' rather than '4.4.2' which could be the source of confusion. I tried manually installing 'full' too - still wants to update but at least detects the version as January 17.

I'm not sure PA OTA can handle the 'stock' Gapps package properly - I thought I spotted some logic being put in on gerrit but could be mistaken. Certainly the OTA only seems to think you'll be using 'full' or 'mini'
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tyea:
Thanks. PA's Google+ beta3 release notes imply the Google dialer script would be accounted for, but I guess they weren't talking about the latest dialer release on TKruzze.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Yep. The guys on the PA team forgot to tell me they made the change. I'll have an update out later today. In the meantime, you can do as [MENTION=2853378]Nephilim[/MENTION] suggests and use the 12/12 version.

Read the FAQ #1. We'll need info to help.

Haven't had any reports of camera issues on the Nexus 5. Perhaps a clean flash is in order.

This was my derp. In the Stock GApps, I used 201401117 (note the extra '1') in the version number. This is what's causing the OTA problems. You can ignore the upgrade notification. I'll have an update out later today to fix the issue (and improve the storage space calculation algorithms).

Inconsistency with Hangouts and Texting

Droid 4 using the CM11 1/17 nightly (though I've had this problem for a week or two) and the PA-GAPPS Full Modular 1/17 version.

The problem is that my phone will not automatically receive messages, SMS and Hangout messages, to Hangouts. This is mostly with the Google+ hangout messages sent via wifi/data. I will usually receive messages that have been sent more than 15 minutes ago, and sometimes multiple messages at a time. The only way to manually check for new messages is to turn Airplane mode on/off, which seems to force the app to fetch messages.

Does this sound more like an GApps problem or a network/rom problem? I'm mostly connected to Wifi while at home, but at school I have good data coverage.

I just installed the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE (20140117) on Saturday on a clean install of Slim Rom's SlimKat beta 2.3 weekly on my d2att. But after the rom was installed I noticed that the restore (my device data and apps) from previous backup process did not happen like it has always done in the past rom versions.

I went to the "Backup and Reset" settings and the options to Backup my data and Automatic restore are checked, BUT "Backup account" option is disabled. I can't choose to change that.

I asked in the SlimRoms G+ groups and I was told to install theirs GApps to see if it works. But that would mean format and install all apps and configure everything again to see i it happens the same with their GApps.

Could this be cause because I used the PA Google Apps or this issue should be something else?

Have anyone noticed this when using this GApps on other roms other than PA?

I'm using SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 2.3 weekly on my d2att.

I'm using the Google Stock Package, but everytime i flash a new CM11 nightly my camera app disappears and i have to flash the gapps again...do you know why?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
saw this in early KK builds. IIRC, it was a ROM issue, as the GApps don't impact the App back-up/restore process, but I could be mis-remembering.

you shouldn't have to install all your apps again, if they were already backed up to Google. right now it's not syncing the apps with your Google account

you can do another clean install with Slim's GApps and select the back-up & restore in the ROM setup process. i'm guessing the issue will be there as well.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Vercion3:
Sorry, forgot about that. I'm running beta 3 for PA, latest GApps, stock (2014-01-17), have a nexus 5, and running dalvik
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tsatomas:
I think that changing ROM caused new android id for your phone thus it cannot restore apps. If you have installed Titanium Back, on first run it may ask you if you want to restore your previous id, after accept and reboot it would probably update.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] deeevan:
The Gravity Box Xposed module has options for modifying grid size.

Back on topic:

I opened up the gapps zip for the first time and had a poke around. It's nicely laid out and easy to identify what to delete/comment out what I don't want. I like replacing the AOSP apps, but don't need some of the other apps in the stock package. Now I know how to get things just as I like it. Thanks for your great work!

I can't tell if the FAQ including instructions on how to modify the zips would reduce the number of posts requesting customisations or increase the number of posts from people saying help me... I broke it!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] slow1234:
Thanks for the info [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] - much appreciated! If the pa_gapps.txt option wasn't there until the 20140117 version, that would explain why I couldn't find it before!! I didn't install that version until yesterday.

HOWEVER - I did not find the pa_gapps.txt file in my /sdcard/ location. I ended up finding it on my external SDcard located at /extSdCard/.

I've created the photosphere force install file in the same location. We'll see if it works when I update with the next gapps version, whenever it comes out.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jguerdat:
Yeah, I have the same problem. Affects Gallery, too, at least for me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] limitedMUSCL:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jguerdat:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] pulsorock:
But what is worries me most is not just that is was not restored, is the message it says "No account is currently storing backed up data" and that option appears disabled. Any way to fix that? Could be a issue of PA GApps on Slim Rom or anything else?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
I have the 1/17 GApps installed on 3 devices and my Google account is visible in the Backup & Reset section. As I said before, I believe this is a ROM issue.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] limitedMUSCL:
Which phone is yours? Script 74 is the one that deletes the camera and gallery, but it should recover them after the rom is flashed. On the other hand, it should be in your folder only if you have Google phones... In any case, I guess it's a bug that should be reported to [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION].

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Neither if the issues above could possibly be caused by this GApps package. All apps are directly from Google and never modified in ANY way. I just drop them in your system partition - NOTHING else. While I won't necessary blame the ROM (even though ROM devs love to blame my GApps), the problem is likely due to some data corruption along the way. A clean flash will almost always resolve these issues. However, other methods may work as well such as clearing the data or cache on the offending apps.

If these problems were actually GApps related, I'd have many more of these reports - especially considering that I'm getting 15,000+ downloads per day of my GApps packages.

I can almost 100% guarantee the problems you are having are due to insufficient space available in your system partition. To explain what I mean, the photosphere addon.d restore process is actually the LAST restore process to take place. If there's not sufficient storage available in the system partition,, the photosphere restore process will fail.

I'm getting ready to release new GApps packages with greatly improved space detection algorithms. While it may mean you'll have to make a GApps switch, you'll at least know for certain if you really do have the required space for the Google Stock package.

OK... now.... what was your problem again?:laugh:

I'll never support modifying my GApps. While I don't necessarily mind a minimal amount of these types of discussions, that's not my real purpose in providing this service. Perhaps a separate thread might even be in order?

Also, with the new storage space calculation algorithms I'm putting in place, modifying GApps will become more difficult as the complexity of the installation scripts is about to exponentially increase.

This is one area I've had difficulties with. I don't know of a way to actually determine the /sdcard folder on every single device that's out there. My methods work fine on all current Nexus devices running AOSP, however beyond that I know of no method to determine the location on every single device in existence.

This won't affect how my GApps work, only the recent features I've added such as .forcephotosphere and copying PA_GApps.txt to your SDCard.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SayDfuse:

PA GApps BETA Test - Please provide feedback & PA_GApps.txt

GOOGLE STOCK GAPPS UPDATE (beta)

This latest BETA GApps package significantly improves the storage space detection algorithms and should provide extremely accurate information.

It also will verify sufficient storage space on both a dirty flash (update) and a clean install.

As with the 0117 version, the installer will copy PA_Gapps.txt to /sdcard/PA_GApps.txt that includes the following information

total_system_size_kb= Total size of System partition (in Kbytes)

used_system_size_kb= Current storage space used in System Partition (in Kbytes)

free_system_size_kb= Free space in System Partition (in Kbytes)

system_used_percent= Percent of space used in System Partition (in %)

install.faceunlock= Will FaceUnlock be installed (true or false)

install.photosphere= Will Photosphere camera/gallery be installed (true or false)

total_space_reqd_kb= Total space required for GApps + FaceUnlock + Photosphere (in Kbytes)

addl_space_reqd_kb= Amount of additional space (in Kbytes) required in System Partition

current_gapps_version= Version of PA GApps currently installed (201Xxxxx, unknown, none)

current_gapps_type= Type of PA GApps currently installed (stock, full, mini, unknown, none)

installing_gapps_version= Version of PA GApps being installed (201Xxxxx)

installing_gapps_type= Type of PA GApps being installed (stock, full, mini)

device_name= ro.product.device from current build.prop
​

If you see that addl_space_reqd_kb is less than free_system_size_kb the installation will not proceed.

The installer will leave a minimum of 5.0MB of free space in your system partition to allow for ROM growth (so you will still be able to do a full GApps restore after a ROM update).

Depending on reported issues, I may raise this to 10MB in the future.

No other changes have been made (since 0117), but I would appreciate feedback and especially if you'd share your PA_GApps.txt file here.

You can download pa_gapps-stock-BETA-20140121-signed.zip from HERE.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You might read the OP. There are other packages available you may want to consider

LOL... Definitely NOT a GApps issue.

Unfortunately, the /sdcard location varies by device (especially devicess with external SDCards) and Recovery. At this time I know of no way to detect all the different locations that /sdcard may refer to on all the devices out there.

One method that a few others have used successfully is to flash a current GApps package and find the location where it copies PA_GApps.txt. If you place the .forcephotosphere file in that same location, it should work as expected.

If you look up a few messages you'll see another user with the exact same issue. As I explained to him/her, the problem is that your device does not have sufficient storage space in the system partition to handle the installation of a new ROM and the restore of your existing GApps. Since photosphere is the last restore process to take place, the space shortage problem will show up there.

Thanks for sharing. As you can see, your Maguro is VERY close to NOT having enough storage space to handle this GApps package.

One question... I see that your device did not receive the photosphere camera (install.photosphere=false). Is that because you used the .forcenophotosphere option?
