No, only the "Full Complete" has it in the zip. Full Modular & Mini Modular can flash the photosphere camera add on zip, so you can download only the rest of the apps each update and save yourself about 70 mb for the camera. Mini Modular and Full Complete are mirrored in my signature as well as linked in the OP, FYI

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] spankymo:
afaik, it can be flashed without any problem but the app won't work. it's nexus-only.

I attempted to flash the mini modular package over the full package that I had installed. I rebooted and nothing is different, all of the Play Magazines/Play Books/Currents are still there. Thoughts? I really want just those apps in the mini modular package, along with the photosphere add-on.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You'll need to wipe your system partition and then reflash your ROM, Mini GApps, and PhotoSphere module, in that order.

You won't lose your settings using this method. And, going forward you'll only need to flash ROM updates. The GApps and PhotoSphere will automatically restore.

AFAIK, the last nightly that works with ART (and doesn't have other problems) is 4/11. I believe that M5 also works. M6 has a lot of issues, and is to be avoided.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] p34rp34r:
Is anyone else having issues with Google Maps navigation not saying anything? I can tell it's trying to say something because my music will duck for a second. Happens with both the smaller low quality English (US) and high quality voice. Media volume is loud enough for music and TTS works in Google Now/Search. Also, the audio is only ducking for less than a second, so it can't be a volume issue (which seems to be the only answer from Googling). Voice will also notify when GPS is lost, like when I go into a parking garage, so it's only borking on actual directions and street names.

The problem was not CM. The problem was not Gapps. The problem was Flipboard! Yep. I tried turning ART on before restoring my apps, and the device stopped working during the installation of Flipboard. Then I got back to Dalvik, unistalled Flipboard and turned ART on again. All working fine now with lastest build of CM.

Thanks for your help, guys :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
u do know ART is experimental and can cause many problems, right? :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] lynnux:
I had a similar problem with Flipboard on Omni. The latest Flipboard update would crash my Nexus 10 while installing the update. I emailed Flipboard, who told me that ART is experimental and not totally compatible with Flipboard. So I reverted to dalvik, installed the Flipboard update, then went back to ART. The updated Flipboard is running fine now in ART.

I flashed pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140517-signed.zip yesterday coming from pa_gapps micro modular (always used those) on LiquidSmooth 3.1 on nexus 4.

I noticed the stock gapps zip replaced the aosp keyboard with Google's own and when I go into the add on dictionaries screen it keeps flickering.

More importantly it keeps using my WiFi which is a major battery hog.

Since the installation of stock gapps Google keyboard has already used 411MB of data over wifi.

Is this a known issue? (I'll post this in the LiquidSmooth mako thread too in case it's a ROM issue).

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sm.vassallo:
Quick question, why would the keyboard use 411mb of data?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] scarcry:
obviously it shouldn't but I noticed the flickering of the add-on dictionaries screen was basically the refresh function. Once I cleared data on Google keyboard the WiFi behavior stopped.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheDannemand:
As described in the thread title, that is the entire idea. Usually about once a week, depending on Google's release of updates. Sometimes TKruzze (the dev) gives us an extra update midweek.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] deeevan:
What do you mean by supported Stock/AOSP applications? I had expected a ROM update to not restore apps removed by gapps remover.

I was on PA beta 4 + gapps stock 20140517 + remover 20140517. The remover zip ran with no issues, with this in /sdcard/.gapps-remove:

Books

Browser

CloudPrint

Earth

FaceUnlock

Gallery

Keep

MMS

NewsWidget

Pico

PlayGames

Studio

Talkback

I updated to PA beta 6 via OTA and I noticed that Studio was installed. Should I have run gapps stock again? Or gapps remover again? Is Studio not a stock app?

I did a clean install afterwards but am curious what the expected behaviour/steps should be.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] justmpm:
Hi Everyone

I did some thread cleaning. I think the OP should be allowed to release updates on his own schedule. I know it can be a little frustrating to wait, but this isn't TKruzze's job or anything...so we really should respect his time and efforts. If you can't wait, you can always try to make your own, or update via the Playstore...

Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TDSJR:
I agree & "Thanks".

Somehow? I used up my "Thanks" for the day. And, I haven't "Thanks"ed anybody today.....not that I'm ungrateful :laugh:, but its only 540.

Sorry for the OT. Thought it was needed after ANOTHER PA Gapps assault by a certain individual.

Actually, it's not a bug as this is exactly how the Chrome Browser Addon is set to function. You do, however, raise a valid issue for those who want to use the addon to 'upgrade' Stock or Full GApps to Chrome Beta.

I'll try and add back the functionality with the next update.

First of all, THANK YOU for providing all the requested information. Unfortunately, your problems are not related to the GApps package or, likely, even your ROM. Sometimes apps don't act the way they're supposed to. The first thing I'd try is to clear data and cache for Maps. As a last resort, though, a clean flash would be almost guaranteed to resolve the issue.

This issue was fixed BEFORE the 20140517 GApps Remover update while the utility was still in beta. The 20140517 and 20140517a GApps Remover will properly remove Movie Studio while restoring GApps.

I guess I completely missed the controversy as well, but that may also be due to my recent discovery of the 'Ignore' filter here at XDA :laugh:. Sometimes, ignorance IS bliss.

Also, I did catch a quick glimpse of your post from yesterday and totally understood your intention.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
well in summary basically someone was demanding you do a 0-HOUR release :p
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Yeah looked like someone was suggesting that I was saying that, which obviously wasn't the case and I clarified anyway. No idea how things spun out from there. Oh well, it's over now! :cyclops:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
As I'm sure you know, it really would be counterproductive to release more than once per week.

For example, today I received my

third

update this week to Google+. It appears that Google's new practice is to do limited release betas Monday-Thursday and then, hopefully, a proper, final release by Friday. There has been at least one app every week for the past month or two where they've followed this same release pattern.

By releasing updates over the weekend, we should get a day or two, at least, of a completely up-to-date GApps package. Not only that, the apps included will have gone through Google's weekday beta test period and should be more stable and bug-free than a mid-week release would be.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Oh I know. The only thing I said was that it might help to have "0-week" in the topic so that people would only expect one update per week, and hopefully stop asking every time there's an update.

Someone completely misconstrued that, not sure how, but yeah, I completely agree with your current practice. :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] K0rgar:
I really appreciate your work to keep gapps up to date, thanks.

But I was wondering if there was some system like cyandelta or Google play store, where you could just download small portions and update the same package instead of downloading nearly 300 mb each time.

I'm actually on cm11.

Don't get offended if it was already asked.

Thanks again.

Actually, there a bit of brilliance in there. In theory we could manufacture a script that would automatically incorporate Google apps updates from /data/app into /system upon every boot. I will have to give this some thought. Might be beyond my skill set though. It would have to extract libs and be a bit tricky but not impossible . .
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheDannemand:
Even getting this once a week is an luxury. For my part, there will be weeks I skip it and wait till the next one. Google pushes updates almost daily anyway. We accept these updates from Play Store (because we want the absolute latest) or we don't (because we're not that concerned). Either way is fine. And either way will the next Gapps clear out those Play Store updates when we decide to flash it, and save us some internal storage. That's wonderful, and the reason we love this. It's like having our cake and eating it too :)

To be flashing a new Gapps every day (let alone several times a day) whenever Google pushes an update, seems a bit excessive to me, even if it were possible to release it.

I must have missed any drama as well. The posts I saw from you all perfectly supported the current schedule and TKruzze effort.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Great idea! Pointing unzip at an apk would probably work to extract the libs, the only trick would be slimming down the apk's by removing the libs, and having them maintained by addon.d scripts like TKruzze does. The other problem I can think of would be that a second reboot might be required to make things stable after each incorporation.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
It would allow this package to maintain a zero day package without constant updates. Would have to find force a second reboot after it is done moving them to system . . hmmm

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
While, in theory, what you're proposing is possible, it would also be extremely difficult to implement.

There are a lot of moving parts and pieces that Android does behind the scenes to manage applications and their associated data. For example, take a look at the following folders on your device (using a Root enabled explorer).

/data/app

/data/app-asec

/data/app-lib

/data/app-private

/data/data/*

Some of those folders contain data for user apps only, while some contain data for both system and user apps. The question would be which is which, and is the data contained in them managed differently based on how the app was installed (System vs User)? I can think of a hundred more questions that I don't know the asnwers to, which is why I've always felt it best to let Android do most of the heavy lifting.

The simplicity of the system currently being used let's Android take care of all the data management. Android was designed to handle updates to system based applications and does it very well. Going the other way would have to be handled manually, something that even the best apps in the marketplace (i.e. Titanium Backup) don't do very well.

Nano package

Good day everyone,

First of all I would like to thank TKruzze and all the PA team for their awesome work.

Next, I have a suggestion:

Would it be possible to get a Nano package, that would contain only Core Base, Google Bookmarks Sync, Play Store, Google Play services, Google Search and maybe Google Text-to-Speech, but no Launcher, no Gmail, no Calendar and other stuff, only the essentials required for phone to work?

Or maybe even better - a more modular approach - how about adding more options to file .gapps-modular or similar to bypass installation of some apps, or use separate files like existing .forcenocamera and .forcenogallery to skip apps like Google Play Newsstand, Google Play Books and similar.

Just some thoughts, sorry if it sounds stupid...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] K0rgar:
I didn't know it worked that way, I myself tried something like moving user app to system app with TB and the results were horrific, most of the time...

I really liked to just download delta updates but it seems that it's not so simple.

Thanks anyway, keep up the good work :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sobaquete:
Hi all,

A couple of days ago I installed the Mini Modular Package over a CM11 rom on a HTC One phone. I added the Google Camera, the Google Keyboard and the Chrome Beta addons.

After installing, I detected a huge battery drain that could in no way be related to the rom or to any other app. The drain was caused by a wlan_rx_wake wakelock that prevented the device going into deep sleep. After some research, the culprit was revealed to be Google Keyboard, that connected to a Google server (173.194.41.23) and downloaded more than 1GB of data in background for no apparent reason.

I don't know if somebody has run into a similar behaviour, but the only way I found to solve it was to reflash again rom and Gapps, leaving Google Keyboard off.

I hope this warning may be useful to someone.

Regards

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Thing is, although I have plenty of patience, Google's constant stream of staged rollouts is starting to grind my nerves a little bit. It makes it more likely that an update will come out unexpectedly at anytime. I'd like it if there was some way to release these updates once a week or so and Google would stop pumping stuff out just for a few days. Would it help to delay the typical update say by a day? These zips are typically updated Friday night or early Saturday. Maybe pushing them to Sunday would let you get whatever you can in without a major update sneaking under the radar. Problem is it's essentially impossible to bring enough order to things when Google no longer seems to have an update Wednesday - every day is update day. Sometimes even Saturday and Sunday!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:

I tried to post a good reply, and Concast's wonderfully ****ty throttled to the max monopoly internet took a **** on XDA. Way to go, Concast!

Anyhow, I was trying to say I personally despise updates smacking my on the head when I'm off guard. Constant half baked stable updates that will be patched three or four times in the next two days aren't normal. Google needs a beta program for all their apps on Play, nothing too crazy but something to stop a zillion borked updates. That and they need to push all their updates that aren't security related on Wednesday only if possible.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] albundy2010:
Because it's silly.

Taking the time to update /test all the zips. Upload all the zips to the mirrors. Update the thread /change log. For every stupid little update Google pushes out is ridiculous. Even this weekly thing is different than what most gapps packages have done since they originated. They would go months without being updated and often only updated for a new Android version.

It's not the future at all.
