with paranoid 3.92rc and last gapps package installed, if I flash the new mini package will update just the new gapps leaving all the others right?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] itsfragi:
Wrong. tried it several hours ago. as i feared it isn't running on 4.3 but only on 4.4 roms.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Focus right now is getting fully functional 4.4 GApps packages completed. Then, I'll maybe go back and update 4.3 - no promises, though.

My concern is that that some of the application updates for 4.4 may not be compatible with 4.3.

FAQ #6
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] blyndfyre:
Would I be flashing in the correct order here?

All in one recovery session (TWRP):

-Flash PA ROM

-Flash Custom Kernel (Optional)

-Flash PA Gapps Stock

-Flash PA Gapps PlayServices Updater

-Reboot device

Does this look right or can I not perform all of this in one recovery session? Thanks in advance.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
this looks good... this is what I'm doing CM 11 also...

if you are coming from an other GApps package... or as a precaution, I would wipe the system partition before flashing a new PA (or any other) ROM with a new GApps package.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] blyndfyre:
Thanks, I'm moving from CM11 to PA ROM, so I was going to do a factory reset in TWRP before flashing anything. That should be sufficient (that wipes system partition as well)?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Gu$houn*:
Factory reset wipes data/cache/dalvik, system wipes the script included in ROMs or you could do it on your own.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
According to the FAQ at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44417547 it is recommended to flash add-on modules AFTER flashing GApps. It is also recommended to wipe catch and Dalvik before reboot. So the recommended order is as follows:

-Flash PA ROM

-Flash PA Gapps Stock

-Flash PA Gapps PlayServices Updater

-Flash Custom Kernel (Optional)

-Wipe cache and Dalvik cache

-Reboot device
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] derboedi:
The kernel is not an addon module, so I guess you're good to go, blyndfyre

preventing removal of stock apps not working?

I have placed the .gapps-stock with the valid options in there to prevent removal of some apps, but they are STILL removed even if I place it in /sdcard/.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
If you have created the .gapps-stock file correctly, the problem may be that you have not properly identified the location of /sdcard/ on your device.

Look for the pa_gapps.log file that was created when you initially flashed our GApps package. The folder location of this file is where you want to place the '.gapps-stock ' file.

Here is my Asus TF300T test-log.txt, hope it helps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Thank you, I think I totally get the issue now because of you. :D

I'll have a fix up tonight.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ricktendo:
After having problems, I did a custom wipe of the system partition and clean installed cm11+stock gapps (that was reverted to fix the isue,) so I'm not sure if its the broken one, but I did see the #70 file there
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] Alrighty, here's the fix. From reading [MENTION=5623700]ricktendo[/MENTION]'s log in the addon.d execution order (pre-backup, backup, post-backup, pre-restore, restore, post-restore), you can immediately see that it changed the backup directory by mistake after the backup was completed. That's because it was reading the /tmp size again afterwards and deciding there wasn't enough room anymore. Then, of course, it was trying to restore from the wrong directory, hence breakage.

So we just treat it the same as the installed GApps size, read it once at the beginning and then store it in the temporary properties file! :)

Swap out the top code for this:

# Backup/Restore using /sdcard if the installed GApps size plus a buffer for other addon.d backups (153600=150MB) is larger than /tmp
installed_gapps_size_kb=$(grep "^installed_gapps_size_kb" /tmp/gapps.prop | cut -d= -f2)
if [ ! "$installed_gapps_size_kb" ]; then
installed_gapps_size_kb=$(cd /system; du -ak `list_files` | awk '{ i+=$1 } END { print i }')
echo "installed_gapps_size_kb=$installed_gapps_size_kb" >> /tmp/gapps.prop
fi

free_tmp_size_kb=$(grep "^free_tmp_size_kb" /tmp/gapps.prop | cut -d= -f2)
if [ ! "$free_tmp_size_kb" ]; then
free_tmp_size_kb=$(df -k /tmp | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print $4 }')
echo "free_tmp_size_kb=$free_tmp_size_kb" >> /tmp/gapps.prop
fi

buffer_size_kb=153600
if [ $((installed_gapps_size_kb + buffer_size_kb)) -ge $free_tmp_size_kb ]; then
C=/sdcard/tmp-gapps
fi

Then of course we still need the cleanup at the bottom in post-restore, as I wrote previously. :D

I also bumped the margin up to 150mb (from 100mb) just to be safer and allow for more addons/growth (since an extra 134mb beyond the main gapps was required in ricktendo's example). You may even want to increase that more; I'll leave it up to you. :good:

Edit

: Only other vaguely possible issues I could foresee would be if /tmp doesn't exist (meaning addon.d would be using something different), or /sdcard is external or something and isn't mounted. Not sure how all the different devices work that way, so I'm hoping we can just see if those problems arise and deal with them if/when they do. :cowboy:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheeWolf:
Sorry if it has been asked already, I searched for it both in the thread and in the FAQ but couldn't find an answer.

For almost two weeks there is an updated play store with material design. If I installed PA gapps (months ago) should I expect the the play store to update automatically on my device or should I just install the new updated gapps?

Thanks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
Battery drain?

I have GAPPS 4.4.4 (inc. play services update module) freshly installed about 20 days ago on a fresh (then) CM11 4.4.4.

One thing I thing I noticed, is that I don't think any GApp updated all these days. Maybe it did but I am not so sure.

The worse thing though is another. Sometimes in the morning I get unbelievable battery drain (and phone hot). Why I post here?

Because I saw the drain log and it was Google+ and Google Music-whatever application that did all the drain (like 90% of it). I killed the apps (that I haven't invoked anyway) and they kept draining the battery (their services probably).

My Galaxy Note had easy access to a close WiFi AP, so it shouldn't be "fighting" for Internet (which usually drains the battery).

After reset it works better. Which is weird since it was after a previous reset that had that issue.

Is any late-June, early-July version known for battery drain issues?

I plan to update to latest CM11 and GApps (again) and clear caches.

If what I report is known, please let me know.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JNewms:
You need to use a smaller package. GAPPS are installed to the system partition, not user space. Your system partition isn't big enough for the full package.

And that's the dirtiest sounding help I believe I've ever given...

Did you update with wipe or not?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Sorry, I've been away for a few days, but this is great news! I'm going to do some testing here, locally, and add this new code in on the next GApps build. To test it, I'm going to make the buffer something like 3000MB which would force the /sdcard method even on my devices.

As you mentioned, this should work for all devices, but in the off chance it doesn't, we should be able to isolate the issue to only strange non-standard devices. I'm also thinking of making the buffer 200MB (just to be safe), assuming that backing up to /sdcard doesn't slow the backup process down significantly.

Thanks, again, for sticking with this. This really was the last nail in the coffin on making these GApps the only 'complete' GApps with built-in fail-safe protection against device shortcomings. I'm also hoping to have a beta release of the new GApps build out sometime in the next week!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Not possible as Google Gallery is only an option with the Stock GApps package.

FAQ #6

I have no insight into Google's plan to roll out updates. Most come within days of showing up in the press, while others may take weeks. It's not an issue with these GApps. You'll get it when Google wants you to have it, or you can use one of our GApps packages and get it early.

It's certainly not a known issue with these GApps. There have been numerous reports of battery drain issues with GPs version 5.0xx, which likely explains the multiple updates from Google. However, this would be Google's issue, not a GApps issue.

Are you saying it's not working? Please post your pa_gapps.log so I can see what happened.

I use Mini-Modular on my wife's Sensation without issue. It's likely a ROM or kernel issue. There's some pretty inventive devs keeping that device alive, but there's lots of bubble gum and bailing wire involved.

I'm not inclined to do this. There may be users who prefer to use Nova installed on the system partition and I wouldn't want to step on their toes.

This has been reported by several users who have devices for which the Google Camera was not intended. If it's working, be happy. If not, you can read the advanced options for Google Stock GApps to prevent its installation.

FAQ #2

What is this app called "10050"?

Thanks for the GAPPS-Remover!

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dvdram:

Hello

I am trying to flash the gapps from 29 jul but I keep getting a signature verification error. I downloaded twice and verified the md5sum is correct. Any ideas why?

G0bble
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
Have you tried one of the other download sites? I successfully downloaded and installed 7/29 stock GApps from AFH.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Whatever it is, it doesn't have anything to do with our GApps or GApps remover.

There's like 13 GApps packages, but you didn't indicate which one. It's a little hard to research without this information.

I leave Zip File Signature Verification turned on in Recovery only because I want to be aware if there are any signature issues. I've never had a single warning with the packages I flash, so I doubt there's an issue with the Signature. Perhaps it's an issue with your recovery. What Recovery are you using?

I do check and verify the MD5 Checksum on all uploads. If you have verified the checksum on your end, you can be assured the file is exactly as it left my system after build.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dvdram:
I am very much inclined to belief that, too. I was just hoping to find someone here who knows what this silly app is, where it belongs to and what it does.
