How do GApps update from the play store if they don't exist on the play store? (Exchange app, etc)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] matshch:
Exchange app and etc updated only with Nexuses firmware updates. That's too rarely and usually change Android version.

i flashed the google dialer addon following the instructions, on my omnirom, however, it didnt really install and its removed my stock dialer, stating this app is not installed.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
It's listed under "phone" instead of "dialer"

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] salespalace:
i see it under manage applications, but i cant open the app? am i missing something?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] matshch:
It replaces firmware's dialer and looks almost same.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] salespalace:
yes, i know, i have the phone app, but when i click on it, it says app is not installed. i reflashed the zip and the same occurred, maybe i have a bad zip file.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] matshch:
Maybe you click on link from homescreen? Try in menu.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] salespalace:
thats the thing, there is no phone app in menu

just to confirm should i not wipe cache? and dalvik cache?

i redownloaded zip and flashed the new zip and now it works, i guess previous zip file was dodgy. thanks though.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Not replacing the Stock/AOSP keyboard cannot be an option. There are problems that will happen if you have both the Stock/AOSP keyboard and the Google Keyboard installed in the system partition. So it's one or the other. You might try Full Modular GApps as it won't replace ANYTHING (except Calendar).

Note: Before anyone tells me they have both installed and they have no issues - - that is the way I used to do it as well. Once we stopped the practice about 60 days ago, I have not received a single keyboard issue. Also, some keyboards may place nice with Google's while others may not (CM, most likely). Since I have no method to determine whose keyboard is installed, I have to remove it to make certain there are no issues.

Final Note: There are no issues installing the Google Keyboard from the Play Store - since it is NOT installed in the system partition. If you want both, this is the way you need to do it.

Jus to add to [MENTION=3386399]iXNyNe[/MENTION] excellent response, the reason I don't make the Google Calendar replacement optional is that it's not necessary to add the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk in our GApps package.

Exchange is not a Google App. It comes with your ROM. GApps = Google Apps

soooo I've got a ton of problems.. I just flashed Beta 6 of PA & the Mini Modular GApps on my Nexus 5.. every time it boots I get Unfortunately Phone Has Stopped constantly & I cannot get past it to do any setup..

I've learned a valuable lesson today & due to my arrogance it had to be this way..

PA has always been rock solid for me so I don't have a backup :(

I can't get to my actual phone now it's stuck on the initial setup screen #1 & Unfortunately phone has stopped..

Any suggestions ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
would it be wise to have an addon module for the calendar sync adapter (to enable 3rd party calendar support for google calendar)?

i dont know for sure that it's true, but i've been lead to believe that some 3rd party calendars (from the play store) won't sync to google calendar without the adapter

i could be wrong and just having the google calendar installed might do the trick and provide sync for all others, i'll try to test this out in a few minutes

as for the keyboard thing, maybe the installer could use this logic

if the user provides a file asking to keep stock keyboard (like browser or mms) then don't install google keyboard (user can get it from play store)

if the user doesn't provide said file then remove the stock keyboard and install the google keyboard

---------- Post added at 05:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 PM ----------

wipe /system and /data from recovery

try to flash just the rom and nothing else (no gapps, no mods, etc)

see if you can make it past the setup and get to the home screen, if that works reboot to recovery and MAKE A BACKUP!

then try installing gapps and whatever else

if that doesn't work and you get stuck even with nothing but the rom installed then reboot to recovery and connect to a computer

next comes the fun (not fun at all) step of getting ADB working from your computer to your phone (google is your friend, search "adb nexus 5 on windows 7" or whatever)

from there you can download a new rom to your computer and use adb push to put the file on your device and then flash it from the recovery.

good luck!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jaladhjin:
So now when I go into recovery TWRP is doing that thing where it asks for a password when I don't have one.. no way past that :( I've been rebooting into it more than once.. isn't having it :(

Since recovery doesn't have access to storage.. does that mean the ADB thing won't work ?

Is wiping /System & /Data the factory reset ? Or is that going to clear eeeeeeverything SD contents & all ?

The first thing I boot into is the bootloader right.. the one where I volume up / down to get to recovery.. can I do anything from there ?

Thanks for the advice all the same..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
I tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar and Google calendar synced fine without the adapter, so never mind the add on idea. And since the sync is the only difference from aosp I guess there's no reason to keep the stock calendar unless some ROM has modified the stock calendar (non aosp ROM using these gapps, like Samsung touchwiz ROM)

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Never seen this. That's crazy. Did you have storage encryption turned on or something?

Probably correct but doesn't hurt to try

Just a factory reset, there is a separate option to clear the sdcard (usually called internal storage) don't do that.

You should do /system /data and /cache for sure.

You may also have something along the lines of a download mode (other than recovery) I'm not sure.

The boot loader is the part of the system that takes your button presses and decides if you should end up in normal boot or recovery (it does other **** too)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
Google Play Services doesn't come up when I search for it in the Play Store (though it does appear under "My Apps"). However, as indicated in Post 3289 below, it is possible to reach it easily via a regular browser search. In any event, Google updates it automatically in the same way that it updates other Play Store apps (although you have to reboot for Google Play Services to complete its update).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jaladhjin:
well.. I got it fixed.. that was an ordeal.. I was worried >.<

Now I'm concerned though.. what should I be avoiding.. the Mini Modular package ?

I had intended on flashing PA beta 6 & Mini Modular.. & that's how all this started :(

On a Nexus 5 specifically..

Will nothing below full modular work on N5 ? Rom issue ? Gapps issue ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] apatal:
There is a way to view it from your phone actually. Just search "Google Play Services" in your browser or using Google Now and it will give you the link. Clicking the link should open the play store and said app. He's right though, it should update auto-magically.

Note: after updating it, you will notice in System Settings > Backup & reset that your Backup account is grayed out. Not sure if it will have any bad effect but rebooting will fix it. :)

gapps for 4.3

I am sorry to say that, art is't fully functional for some apps, like opera mini... and also battery life is't good enough for me....so I decided to stay with 4.3......

I know that the OP decided to stop the 4.3 gapps update from Nov...

But I hope there are plenty of people out there, and still using 4.3....so I thought OP could update 4.3 gapps monthly once, maybe.!

I searched for updated gapps, but all of them are more than 4 months old...

so if anybody knows where latest updates....just give me a link.

thank you
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Why wouldn't you just use 4.4 but stick with Dalvik? ART isn't forced on you.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mister-crackers:
This is a noob question but, after flashing any of the PA gapps is it possible to individually uninstall any of the apps (e.g. Google Voice, Gmail, etc)?

I ask because I'm trying to overwrite those apps with blacked out themed apps, some of which are .apk packages. These install attempts are obviously being denied by the system because it sees signed installs with the same application name (i.e. not going to grant install of the "same" app already present).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
Google voice isn't included, so you're good to go there.

For any others you can use a root file explorer to replace an app from this with one you've modified

The apps will be in your /system partition.

Remember that every time you flash an update to the gapps or any time Google updates them through the play store your modified app will be overwritten.

To be honest you're better off to use a theme manager.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Give me a break! I have over 25,000 downloads PER DAY of my GApps packages. Your device ends up getting corrupted, you didn't make a backup before flashing a ROM and GApps, and now you want to blame my GApps or someone else?

Please do us both a favor and find yourself another GApps provider. I'm sure it's all my fault..... It's users like you who make me question why I even bother providing this service...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Hankaws:
MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE is not yet 20140217 when I was going to download it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] justbabu:
Perhaps because there were no changes to the apps in the MICRO MODULAR PACKAGE. Check the first and second posts for changelogs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Crythar:

Hold your horses. Like Crythar says, most people very much appreciate your work and that includes myself. :) But face it, on forums like this it's always a matter of time before someone starts complaining. Although I must say this isn't even the case now. All I read is a user frustrated by his phone and not by your software. :)

It would be a lot easier to use a USB thumb drive. That's how I revived my GN about a week ago after the entire memory got erased after deleting a simple downloads folder. Don't have a clue how or why it happened but so far the phone is doing fine again after formatting system, data and cache partitions. I simply flashed ROM and gapps straight from USB using TWRP and the phone took off again. :)

I tell you what friend.. you may not believe it.. you may not care.. you should know though I wasn't looking to be hostile or offensive.. maybe I could have spoken a bit more eloquently but I was admittedly distraught over the mess I had made for myself.. I knew it then & I know it now..

What I should have said.. & intended to say was "Okay got my phone fixed.. do you happen to know if PA Beta 6 currently has an issue playing well with Mini Modular on a Nexus 5 ?"

That being said.. again I apologize if I seemed.. ungrateful.. I thought you were a member of the PA team & as such considering Nexus devices are all that's currently supported on PA 4 might know hey yeah man.. we've been getting reports there's an issue with Beta 6 & Mini Modular.. flash another GApps or sit tight for an update..

A final parting thought.. regardless of whether I may be one.. don't let haters rule you.. there will always be haters.. all they're really doing is letting you know you've done something or become something better than them.. so do something you enjoy yourself.. or enjoy for the appreciation & recognition you get from "most" people ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] slogar25:

I updated from CM10.2 to CM11 with the latest PA Gapps. I have a problem where I cannot add calendar events, just says "loading" I cannot view Calendars it doesn't sync anything. "Calendar" is not even listed as an option to sync in neither google acc I use.

Any ideas?

Also; having a file named .gapps-stock with browser in it still deleted the aosp browser :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mathhqs:
thanks, you are really very polite. :laugh: :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nelson George:
I tried cm11, cm-remix, vanir, pa, slimkat....ROMs.

in delvik I faced battery drain issue, but in ART there s no battery issue. and I missed some little things in 4.3, that s the reason for me still stay with that.

That's why I needed updated gapps.

I like 4.4 and it's some new features, but 4.3 is my choice for now.

I can't find any latest one for 4.3 & I hate to update gapps weakly...

if you no where to find latest gapps, just five me a link.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TDSJR:
Pull the apk files from the ROM.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 777.300:
Had the same problem on my N4.

Solved it by formatting all partitions, except for the partition where your PA rom zip is stored, before flashing.

After that flash the ROM and all should be fine.

Worked for me on the N4.

Black Bar Above Browser

I installed the 2-13 mini modular on a clean install of Quantum ROM on my I747. The problem I'm having is that the aosp browser has a large black bar above it. How could I get rid of that? Searching this thread didn't provide anything useful, tho my search terms may have been lacking.

After call drain with google dialer?

Out of curiosity, CM11 clearly has battery drain after call. I was wondering if this is a Rom issue or the dialer issue. Hence, for those with CM11 and using the Google dialer here (if they work together), is the battery drain the same?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] spankymo:
perhaps remove /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh (move it somewhere else) then reflash your ROM. then it's restore the sh file to the addon.d folder.

Great package, only thing is that you have to clear data+cache of the Google Keyboard otherwise the Keyboard app is for some strange reason using lots of data and causing many wake-ups. Few people reported that already in HTC One S CM11 thread.

Problem on cm11 and samsung galaxy s3

Hi,

after flash "google stock package" + clean cache and dalvik and reboot screen stuck on "starting apps" (in background i hear message receive on whatsapp so things did work somehow).

when reboot screen stuck on cm11 spining logo.

When try to install full modular it all worked..

but ofcurse i want the google stock.

details:

GApps package you installed - Google Stock

Date of the GApps package - 17.2.2014

Device type - Galaxy s3

Current Runtime - Dalvik

Contents of pa_gapps.txt or pa_addon.txt - dont have, had to restore when phone didnt start.

The exact ROM you're using on your device - cm11installerXNPQ08Q kernel: 3.0.64-cm-g992f0e8

anyone had this?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dan1234567890:
I had the same behaviour when I tried to flash google stock package on stock rom.

I solved it by flashing first full modular package (and I had to choose GEL launcher from GA modular package on first boot), and immediately afterwards I could flash Google stock package without bootloop on "starting apps".

Don't know if this will help you, since your setup is different than my, but you can try... :confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] oshera:
Hi, thanks for the reply!

Now it's really wierd.

Try what you suggest, and indeed it wasn't stuck like before.

Installed full pack, boot, and system run like before. Didn't change to google launcher or anything.

Then I've installed google stock package and it didn't stuck at boot,

BUT it didnt really work..

launcher, browser and sms apps replaced,

but what I care about - camera(for photosphere), dailer(for google caller id) and gallery(for picasa integration) are all still CM..

:confused::confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dtr145r:
thank you for the suggestion.

ive been having lots of problems with PA gapps,

they were always clean installs and i still had problems with the play store not opening and everything force closong.

tried Banks core gapps and everything is working great.

thanks again!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dan1234567890:
For google dialer you must install add on module, it is not in Google stock package.

Regarding camera/gallery you can check under system/apps if it is there, but maybe you don't see it in launcher... What does pa txt file says?
