Once updated they no longer run from /system. They now run from /data. The issue is the libs which when installed to system all are in the same directory. That is a problem when 2 libs have identical names (so they cannot both exist there) but operate differently. When updated to /data, apps extract the libs to app specific directories so there is no conflict.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hanschke:
if you add the new g+ apk you will get forced closed :rolleyes: if you install it after the phone boot with the apk the forced closed gone until reboot :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] K0rgar:
Maps and g+ shared the same libraries without conflict on system partition but recent g+ introduced the issue.

If you check both then you can see that they are different, thus the force close.

The same can be said for doc, sheet and Google PowerPoint [emoji19]

Google Keyboard

I got the constant FC errors with Google Keyboard, this issue happened when i upgrade Paranoid ROM using OTA update, I tried to do the fresh installation many times but no luck.

Is there anyway to make sure all orphan data is cleaned?

My device: Xperia S

ROM version: Paranoid 0729 version, then update to beta5 using OTA Update
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] armadiljo:
I'm not sure if that will help. I've had the same errors with Google Keyboard, even seconds-minutes after a clean install with no other data installed except ROM + GApps. Next to that, it happens on a variety of different ROMs and different kernels. (now I'm using Paranoid Android, unofficial 4.45 on a s3 mini) In my case, I don't see errors, but Google Keyboard spontaneously uninstalls. Even when there's no user interaction.

I still don't know why it happens. Or it's a Google Keyboard bug (in combination with my device), or it's caused by Titanium Backup (because that the only app I had installed in all these cases). I think.

EDIT: Clean install, I mean I wiped everything except external SD card, reinstalled ROM and GApps, flashed SuperSU to /system and reinstalled Titanium Backup. Thats it.

Play store download issues

@OP,,,_ I got play store issues after flashing latest gapps. Unable to download anything from play store. I tried with pa stock gapps as well as pa moduler gapps.Please help
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] nomorefree:
Google Keyboard

In my case, its caused by some data was not cleaned, i guess. I tried to do fresh installation many times but the issue is still there. Anyone have solution for this?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
fresh installation means you have to format /data and /cache in recovery as well as your /system partition. and if you use link2sd methods of any kind you'll have to wipe the sd-ext as well.

trying to retain user data and settings through not wiping /data and caches, or using Titanium Backup or similar to retain app settings and batch-restore, causes all kinds of problems on 'fresh' installs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] nomorefree:
I formatted data and cache in recovery, but i don't know how to format /system partition. Could you give me instruction how to format /system partition and sd-ext?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
in cwm recovery, under mounts and storage

in twrp, under wipe.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] nomorefree:
Another question: after formatting /system partition, the next step is: flash the ROM via Install zip from SD

or reboot in fastboot and flash boot.img then install ROM in recovery?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheDannemand:
You want to flash the ROM in Recovery (Install zip from SD or External SD) immediately after wiping /system. If you try to boot with a wiped /system, you could get stuck. Some devices are more sensitive than others.

-removed-
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I optimize these GApps more than any other GApps provider. I even take the time to remove all the libs from all apk's (an re-ZipAlign) to guarantee the smallest apps possible. It's Google that's making their apps larger and your device continues to get older. At some point, something has to give. The new GApps that I'm working on will allow you to remove apps from the zip during the flashing process so you will have the ability to make a GApps package fit that won't fit with the current generation of GApps.

Huh? You're not trying to flash these GApps on a Stock ROM, are you? It's not something I recommend or plan to support. These are strictly meant for custom ROM's.

Turn on syncing in your Google settings.

You MUST manually wipe your Data partition (not just the caches!) Follow the procedures in FAQ #2 and it should work fine. If you're using the Keyboard Addon, do NOT reboot your device before installing. The keyboard will work fine if you have COMPLETELY wiped your device before installing GApps and the keyboard.

See my notes above. If you follow the steps in FAQ #2 and have COMPLETELY wiped your device, it should work fine.Skip the TiBu stuff until after you've rebooted at least once.

I'm getting close to completely removing keyboard from all my GApps and addons. I KNOW that if people follow the instructions in FAQ #2 that it should work fine. However, because I believe that a large number of folks here don't really understand what a clean flash is, I may take the easy route and remove the keyboard completely.

I had two friends that had multiple bad downloads of packages this week (from AFH, I think). Make certain verify the checksum on all zips BEFORE you flash.

<sigh> FAQ #2... again.

This is a new one! Mini Modular doesn't even have the Google Keyboard, yet my GApps still breaks it.... I give up... Maybe BaNkS has the right idea after all <sigh>

Not with that little amount of information. Read FAQ #5.

Follow the links HERE for the 4.3 packages and make certain you grab the right ones. 4.3 GApps haven't been touched in over 9 months.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JNewms:
Please don't remove the keyboard. There are a ton of us that use your GAPPS every single time we flash a ROM. We don't comment because we never have any issues. Don't let the people that refuse to read and learn ruin it for the rest of us.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
I've got to third this! :)

If anything, just institute a policy where you don't respond to any questions that are answered in the FAQ. We as a thread could agree to ignore them as well. :good:

If you turn this thread into a DevDB project you can set an announcement at the top that could read "Any question asked which is already answered in the FAQ will be ignored!" ;)

I'm still hopeful we can see the Google Email Addon make its way back. I'd be willing to MultiROM it on my N7 '13 to test, what were the specific issues again? Just OmniROM?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JNewms:
I would love to have the email app back in as well, Mark me down for being willing to test.

Guy's I'm noticing that my Gallery app is not updating thumbnails after I delete or move files, unless I reboot my device.

Running CM11 on my Note 3 and the stock package.

Is there anything I can do? Or anything to, at least, force the update of the folders?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
you can probably force it by either force-closing the app or if that fails by clearing its data in settings>apps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] viniciusrsouza:
Force closing don't help, so I cleared it's data and now the thumbnails of deleted pictures didn't disappear, they just became greyed.

Maybe it's something related to media scanning?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
I also have the same problem...

I have an automated task with tasker that is moving my pictures to my Google Drive... and when completed, files are deleted... I'm sometimes seeing grey boxes instead of no picture...

And you are probably right regarding the media scanner...

I also had the same problem with a CM rom and other GApps packages... so it's not something specific to the ROM I'm using right now or PA GApps...

Try to wipe cache from recovery, Only cache not dalvic cache. It should work or else its your rom problem, change your rom or use any other galery app (ex: Snap Gallery (my fav) from playstore)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] viniciusrsouza:
I came from Banks GApps and never got this issue. Only now I'm facing this, but didn't know if could be something ROM related, since, of course, I'm running a new build from those I used when flashing Banks.

I noticed also that Paranoid GApps Gallery don't have those online pictures folders, which is great for me, since I don't like this sync and always disable it.

But don't know if this Gallery version is causing this lack of content update after deleting or moving files.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
it's questions like these that make devs wanna quit doing charity work for you kinda guys...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] waqar.qu:
That can only be controlled by your ROM developer. The gapps package only adds on Google apps, it can't change anything that comes with the Rom such as the aosp camera, browser etc.

You could use Google camera from the playstore which has the Photosphere functionality as well as Panorama
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] armadiljo:
Well, I do believe I know what a clean install is, and I did read all of your faq's (not only #2). So ok, G. Keyboard spontaneously uninstalls before anything else is installed and/OR restored, but it's ok, don't worry, I can live without.

Best bet would be to wipe system and reflash rom and gapps. You won't lose your settings.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] polo79:
I am guessing we might have to wait till Google starts sending certain app updates to 4.3 roms.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ximmox:
And I'm guessing you guys having problems flashing a file that is not meant for 4.3 out of possible compatibility reasons simply grab all those new apks from one of the hundred Android Blogs or extract them from this very zip here.

Install manually over your existing versions, try it out and IF anything is odd simply uninstall the update without losing your original App Version (Hint: they work perfectly on two of my 4.3.1 devices).

And please stop bugging the OP to make a file compatible for an Android version it's not originally meant to run on! He is already updating these packs with lightning speed, don't make him work even harder.

After all, this is Android, enjoy the openness and tinker with all those apps for yourself, otherwise: where is the fun if everything is served on a golden plate?

Still user error. I use the stock gapps, play services zip, and chrome beta zip together Everytime I flash a ROM. I have never had a keyboard issue, or any issue for that matter. The dev of probably getting fed up with people constantly complaining, when there isn't any problem with his files.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems more and more people are jumping into ROMs and modding without doing the reading and learning first. Then they jump on XDA and expect people to bail them out by doing the searching and linking for them...

BTW man, this post isn't meant for just you, it's a general observation.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] armadiljo:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
If you're talking about the icon in the app drawer disappearing after seeing it in there for a few seconds, that's normal. I've seen that happen so many times that I started believing it's intentional. But what I think happens is since you don't have another keyboard installed (as PAGapps removes the AOSP one), it automatically hides the icon and sets Google Keyboard as your default.

As long as you can choose and use it under the Language & Input settings, you're fine. You can bring back the icon in the app drawer somewhere in Google Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings under the Language & Input menu.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] armadiljo:
Thanks, but that's not what I mean. I mean.

1- I wipe everything except SD-card (there are no apps on it, only backups and user media files). So /data, /system, /cache, /dalvik

2- I flash new ROM on device.

3- I flash GApps on device.

4- I flash GApps add-ons on device. (play services, chrome beta, remover)

5- I reboot

6- optional: I flash SuperSU to /system and do a first-reboot installation of Titanium Backup (so ONLY install of the apk, no restore, and not starting the app at all)

By this time Google Keyboard is installed.

I wait 10 minutes, don't do anything with my device

6- While I enter my WiFi password, I will be able to enter a few characters, after which the app disappears. Not only the icon, but the app.

7- I reboot without WiFi (because I can't enter password) or I reboot with access to non-secured network.

8- Google Keyboard will be uninstalled from device (not in input & language, striked in Titanium Backup, disappeared from apps list.

The same happens when I install Google Keyboard Add-on or apk from GApps or from Play Store on a healthy system with working data and apps and a running ROM (CM11 / PA is what I tried). So if I want to reproduce this error, I just have to install the apk or flash the Add-on. It will disappear within 10 minutes without any user interaction.

And no, this is not a complaint towards anybody, I explained my experience to a guy asking a question about cleaning orphan data to get rid of a similar problem. Again, I don't know what causes this problem, so it's kinda weird that people interpret this error as a complaint towards this specifical developer. And it's ok for me, I'm fine with using SwiftKey as an alternative.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Thanks (all) for the support. The problem is, it will look, to a visitor, like these GApps cause nothing but problems if we just let the complaints fill up the thread. I'd be better off closing the thread and moving everything to G+ (with comments disabled) if that was to be the route I chose.

It's not what I'm planning, though. Just venting a little. Unfortunately, this is what XDA has become.

Ask your ROM dev. They're the ones that put the AOSP camera in your ROM, not me.

It's only for x86 devices, as far as I can tell.

Sorry, I jumped the gun! The PA team is working on restoring the GApps update feature to the OTA app. Since the demise of goo.im, it requires a complete re-write, plus we have to find an API that will integrate into the app.

Don't have time to test right now. Please check it out and let me know.

BaNks uses the Nexus 5 Gallery ONLY! My Stock GApps will install the proper Gallery for whatever Nexus device you have. Plus, I give you the ability to override the default and choose whatever version of Gallery you want installed on your device - including the Nexus 5.

<face-palm> It never occurred to me that someone would actually expect the Google keyboard to be in their app drawer! Why? Because ANY keyboard that's installed in the system partition is NOT supposed to show in your app drawer. Check it out for yourself: 1) Do an install of CM and use ANY GApps that does not include the Google keyboard 2) Look in the app drawer for the keyboard app. 3) It's not there is it? That's because it's found ONLY in settings - where it's SUPPOSED to be. It's the same on all stock Google Nexus devices.

Google has added a feature for those who want to see the icon in their app drawer. Go to Settings > Language & Input (or whatever your ROM calls it) > Google Keyboard Settings > Advanced Settings (Options for Experts) > Show app icon > Check the box.

I've added this as an FAQ (#18) to, hopefully, put this issue to bed.
