Like I said, there's a strategic band-aid fix that deals specifically with this Play Services 7.x issue--why not use it? Why disable other features of Play Services?

And just because you have not noticed any issues, doesn't mean you didn't inadvertently cause something. I doubt many users are concerned with proper software validation testing that goes in typical software development initiatives before implementing a fix.

And as you said, the fix is in the CM nightlies, but this is a thread about 4.4.x Gapps, meaning that CM11 users are still affected. The fix for CM12 made it in earlier, but the CM11 patch that got in last night won't help many users who can't get CM11 nightlies anymore.

Thread Closing Announcement

After spending some time away from XDA, I have decided to take an extended break from providing and maintaining PA GApps. While I am leaving the door open to a possible return, I will be closing down my threads here on XDA at this time. And, although I won't be closing my XDA account, I probably won't be responding to PM's either.

While I had considered a move to Google+, it became apparent that even though I would have more control over things on G+, more work would also be requried to maintain things to the standard I had previously set here on XDA. Clearly, this is not a valid option for me at this time.

I'd like to thank the regular participants of my threads here on XDA. It was your participation and support that kept me motivated the past two years I've provided this free service and it's my interaction with you folks I'll miss most. Best of luck to y'all and perhaps our paths will cross again.

Here's the Maps I just extracted & installed from the 8.15 gapps package - It's version 7.0.2

Here's the only mention of a Maps update that I could find - Version 7.1... Been searching since I saw you two talking about it

Request:New GApps with OLD 6.14.4 Maps Please!!!!

The new Google Maps is SO BAD and dangerous that I would request you guys make a GApps that has the older/better version.

The new 7.x maps is the worst update ever and really dangerous if trying to use for navigation, and dysfunctional for most other things like searching for things around where you are.

Approx 90+% of user reviews for the updated version on GooglePlay are 2-star or less and many reviewers wish they could give it 0 or negative stars.

Until there is an easy solution, could someone outline the steps one might take to make 6.14.4 the installed Maps version after flashing the latest PA GApps?

(For those who might care - here are some of the things being complained of with the new Maps:

No scale bar

Less of screen for the map with dedicated search bar

No zoom buttons on screen

No option for larger text

No dedicated Navigation widget/shortcut

because Navigation "integrated" with Maps, takes many more clicks to start navigation

Cannot browse/search a map while still navigating

Cannot use navigation in "follow-me" mode without a destination

Cannot change route without exiting navigation

Navigation crashes if a phone call comes in or another app gets focus when ending call/returning to navigation

Navigation crashes for no apparent reason

Navigation doesn't work for transit

Navigation lags causing directions to be announced too late

Navigation no longer indicates which side of the street your destination is on

Option to avoid tolls or other routing cannot be made permanent, and cannot be changed once navigation starts

and many many many more

Can only drop a pin on the map at "known" addresses - can't drop a pin on a trail, in the forest, etc., which can have huge consequences if you are hiking, want to mark where you've parked and oodles of other common situations - some of which could endanger lives

My Maps are not included - so if you've planned out routes on desktop, you can no longer get them on your mobile

Routes with waypoints no longer supported

Traffic widget missing

Can no longer search nearby

Search results are screwed to the bonkers - yonkers or somewhere irrelevant to where you are ["Gas stations" or "Restaurants" likely to produce some result in another state]

The "uncluttering" of the display removes essential or convenient information

- and the list goes on and on and on.

You can try google old maps apk, replace in system/app and never update it from market..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Thanks. I'll be certain it's included in the next update. In the meantime, feel free to sideload it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You can always sideload an older version if you prefer.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] relaxable:
OK, I will try to figure that process out - am not super up on doing things like that.

I do notice that in the GApps file, in addition to the maps.apk, there is a file in the Framework folder - com.google.android.maps.jar and this file is different in the GApps that has 6.x version vs the 7.x version. Does that matter?

Could I re-create the new GApps by extracting the zip, then replacing the maps.apk and the maps.jar file, and then re-zip? Or would that break something?

TIA
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Sideloading is the process of manually installing an app. The easiest way to sideload an app is to download it to your device and then click on it using your file manager.

The jar file you're referring to is not a part of Google Maps. The reason they are different is that the earlier version is from Android 4.2.2 and the latter is from Android 4.3. You shouldn't touch that file even if you decide to go back to Maps 6.x.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Datzi:
I've got a question:

I currently run Android 4.3 on my One S and flashed those GApps along with CM10.2. A lot of apps are installed in 'system/app', do those apps also get regular updates like the ones which I installed through Play Store?

E.g. Google Keep; Previously I installed it with Google Play and now it's a system app. Does this make any difference in puncto updates?

Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] relaxable:
Thanks - I guess I wuz familiar with sideloading, just not calling it that....

But, seems to me I could also just unzip GApps and replace maps.apk with the one I want and re-zip, then flash.

(I'm in process of upgrading from PA 3.69 to 3.96 and would like to keep old Maps).

Thnx.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:

Yeah no camera with 11/19

Does the 11/14 version do anything with camera? Or is just the ROM's AOSP camera?

I just tried another clean install (wipe system, cache, data) with 11/14 and have camera & gallery back.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:

Hi there,

Same problem here too with the process-gapps thing!!

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Stylez Ray.:
Yes, also tried ART today and encountered same problem...so what is the deal? Are they just not 100% compatible or is it because I swtiched to ART after some days of usage with Dalvik?

I mean the gapps worked though but those fc have to mean something and it makes me wonder if it's package related or just a problem created by switching the runtime after setting up the phone...gapps working fine though in dalvik mode:good:

yes, it's experimental, but this is com.google.process.gapps FC'ing implying there's compatibility issues w/ Gapps too?

I modified the install script to add Tuna to the board type to receive photosphere and re-ran the zip in recovery. I now have working photosphere in kitkat on my gnex.

I'm just wondering if I missed something as to why it was left out? So far it's working just fine.

To use ART you have to flash SuperSU from Chainfire, then set permissions to always grant then you switch to ART in developers options. Its running good here, the only exception is Titanium Backup FC, so freeze unnecessary apps first before switching to ART. Again these gapps are working good with ART.

I've run into a problem suddenly where flashing this with Cataclysm on the Nexus 5 has an issue with the keyboard preventing me from ever completing the initial setup. Has anybody else run into this problem? I'm going wipe and try again, but just wanted to see if anybody else ran into the issue.

Edit: Seems something just didn't go right in first flash, all working well this time around.

It's not an entitlement to expect the dev to do something the dev said would be done...

"0-day Google Apps: We update as soon as Google releases new variants"

It's fair and within his right to assume the dev will update as soon as possible. He didn't attack the dev or whine or do anything beside say something entirely accurate. By my count, 12 of the apps in the full package have update dates more recent than the last posted package (11/19). While I don't expect the updates to happen on the same day, when the OP states that updates would occur as soon as Google releases them, you leave yourself open to this criticism. My suggestion would be to simply drop the 0-day words out of the title and the OP, so as to not create such an expectation, or to make an update post if unable to update within a day or two.

With all that being said, I appreciate what TKruzze has provided, and I know he has spent some time trying to correct certain issues on Nexus 10 versions (or so a previous post implied), so I expected his attention to be elsewhere anyway. I've gone ahead and let Play Store update my apps, then used TB to achieve what this package would have achieved anyway.

[QUESTION]

Quick question. When installing an older GApps package, will the apps get automatically odexed after getting updated from the PlayStore?

I see that a .odex accompanies the .apk files in the system folder which enable us to use ART and also get faster speed without ART. I was wondering if after updates from the PlayStore, whether the .odex files would regenerate themselves or be updated accordingly from the PlayStore.

Guys, I have nexus s running cyanogenmod 11 android 4.4. So I downloaded the full package of gapps for android 4.4 which was around 257 Mb or so. When I flash these gapps with 4.4 custom roms initial start up would be fine but home screen goes black and does not show up.!! Notification panel works fine and so do other things in notification tray but only home screen is completely blank.

Later I realised that google search was not installed in the package which is very essential for kitkat launcher, which was the reason for my home screen going blank.!! Now is there a way to flash only google search so that my homescreen gets working.!!?

Since my home screen is blank I cannot launch app drawer and thus cannot update/download google search from play store. Any alternative as such.!!?

Do I get a separate flashable zip only for google search so that things start working.!!? If so, do provide me a link.!!!
