Report: Full Modular Beta Gapps 12/16/2013

Package: Full Modular BETA - 2013-12-16

Device: Samsung Galaxy S3 AT&T (SGH-I747)

Current Runtime: Dalvik

Rom: Quantum Rom 4.4.2

Report:

So far the GApps package is good. Only issue is that swiping to text with AOSP keyboard is now nonfunctioning. Causes immediate crash of the keyboard. I suspect it might have something to do with the added lib files. Other than that, everything runs cleanly.

Is anyone able to get a full GPS lock in Maps? Also, compass mode does not seem to work. Maybe the two are related?

Gps lock and compass are fine on 12/15 CM11 Nightly.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] highnoteuser:
Thanks for the feedback. That's strange. GPS finds my location, but it doesn't seem to lock on to where it will follow me as I drive. It's like it updates every few seconds instead of being smooth. My compass works in a separate compass app, but not in Maps for some reason.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
You're the second person to have an issue with GPS/Compass, being that it's not a common issue you may want to look at one of your installed apps possibly causing issue with the GPS service.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] IndiaBhai:
I didn't flash the GApps, just the add on module for the camera. Is that not possible? Is it required to flash the GApps to have the module work? sorry if this is obvious information :confused:

I wasn't able to find anything using the search function :/
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 0s1ride:
Can confirm this.

Can you try renaming libjni_latinimegoogle.so (from /system/lib on you device) in libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so for testing, reboot and report back?

My full report is coming with more details.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] xXshur1kenXx:
Let me make a backup, reflash everything and then I'll let you know.

EDIT: It was just like you said. Worked after your suggestion. I'm now back to running the Stock Gapps. Need my phone for full uninterrupted use tomorrow. Can begin testing again in approx 48 hours.

Device: Galaxy Nexus (maguro)

Runtime: Dalvik

Rom: CyanogenMod 11 20131214-NIGHTLY

All tests are done after a /system format.

In both 20131216-BETA mini and full modular packages, the AOSP keyboard crashes when using gesture typing.

I understand that you preferred to use latinimegoogle.so from the sysimage, but you also need to add unbundled_latinimegoogle to full and mini modular, to make the AOSP keyboard work with gesture typing (that was my proposal).

latinime and latinimegoogle only work with the stock (google's) one.

Without it, it will either crash or only show the trails, based on if you flash latinime+latinimegoogle or not.

Some gapps used to rename latinimegoogle in latinime, that worked too, but was necessary because the keyboard was not yet in the play store.

Now you can just use the unbundled lib that comes with it.

Note: although you can keep latinime and latinimegoogle from the sysimage in the zips, from my test they are unnecessary.

For the AOSP keyboard, you are just fine with only unbundled + the latinime that comes with your custom ROM.

About the AOSP launcher, yes, now both packages no longer remove it.

I like the proposed changes as I'm a full modular Gapps user. I have not been able to test yet, but hope to do so tonight after work.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mammenj:
I am a full gapps user and below is my preference (since you are asked for feedback :D)

I would prefer to see the ASOP browser and ASOP keyboard in the full package as Chrome,Google keyboard can be downloaded, if anyone requires it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Already added way back in the 20131214 update

The Photosphere Addon Module should work with most custom ROM's as long as you have a supported device.

Thanks, everyone, for the feedback and thorough testing. My reason for using libjni_latinimegoogle.so was that I thought it made more sense since it was the Google version that came with the ROM, not the proprietary version from the Google Keyboard apk. I will remove it from the next BETA and add libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so from the most recent Keyboard update. Strange that the factory version wouldn't work.

I will prepare a new set of test versions and have them ready in the morning. As suggested, I will remove libjni_latinimegoogle.so and libjni_latinime.so and add libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so from the current Google Keyboard apk.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Gassity:
Hello!

Guys I can not make the ART runtime work with any of Temasek builds! Using last gapps and the last build of rom
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Then it couldn't have been there to begin with, right?

The zip replaced the exact same two files I removed when I installed the Google keyboard. Everything is exactly as it comes in a PA ROM, plus the addition of the Google keyboard.

There have been over 500,000 downloads of my GApps package since we added the Google keyboard. And until the past few days nobody has ever mentioned they prefer the AOSP version. If we were to pull it now, there would likely be a lot more disappointed users than if we left things as they are.

Once we add the modular version of GApps, the keyboard will become a separate addon. Until then, things will have to stay as they are.

I haven't suggested once that you change your gapps, I just want to get the keyboard with long press punctuation. I think Google keyboard has changed and used to have it, or maybe AOSP keyboard has changed, either way I used to have it

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 PM ----------

I deffo had it on cm10.1.2

Apparently slimbean ROM has it, I might try extract and pushing it over the weekend
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] *child:
Just because no one report a problem doesn't mean there is one, or that there's a better alternative way.

Until then, I've uploaded the AOSP keyboard here (pulled from the latest CM10.2 nightly). Just installing it like any other APK should work. Push to /system/app.

Your hard work is still appreciated and this is still the best Gapps available. Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Piksou:
Hi all,

The last time I tried this pack, I had the color syn issue that was fixed by Formula84's Apps long time ago.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/31532-gapps-412-485486-jzo54k-gapps-package-1012/

I had the same issue with Goo gapps agenda (green) but using Google Play's "blue" version fixed it.

Unfortunaltelly, the PA Gapps were giving me the blue version, with the issue and I can't install Google Play version.

Was this fixed or is there any plan to change it?

Thanks !
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Noobz0r:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] cocchiararo:
i really don't recall seeing the AOSP keyboard with those features, are you guys sure they where not added by whatever custom rom you are using ? (EDIT: ok, were using :P)

EDIT: just read at the main mako AOSPA thread that the CM kb does have extras. And the apk that was just uploaded here is bigger than the AOSP keyboard.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _delice_doluca_:
Hi,

I am a Note 2 user who has no Official CM 10.2 yet. So I want to use PA GApps as they have many usefull things. Would it be a problem if I used the latest 4.3 GApps with CM 10.1? Or do I have to use the latest 4.2 GApps?

Thanks

Hopefully will be back among you with a Nexus 4 ASAP :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] arief347:
You must use 4.2 gapps as far as i know..

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] *child:
Thanks; I fixed my original post.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] *child:
I'm not too familiar with AOSPA, as I prefer CM myself, but perhaps the AOSP keyboard that is included in AOSPA has not been worked on or merged since it was originally forked from CM, while in CM, it has been worked on or merged with AOSP ... I really don't know, but the CM and AOSP keyboards are the same.

Paranoid 4.3 S3

Hello, does this Gapps works fine in Paranoid 4.3 in a Samsung S3?

thank you
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] cocchiararo:
AOSPA takes AOSP and adds their stuff.

The AOSP keyboard is, as far as i have seen in any pure, unmodified AOSP rom, identical to the google one. I believe it lacks gesture typing without the google lib for that, but that is/was all.

The CM keyboard must be tuned or something, i have it now, and i have never seen it, and i have used AOSP roms on many devices.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] floepie:
I'm really trying to get to the bottom of some oddities in the CM "AOSP" keyboard. CM "ships" with a LatinIME.apk (39 MB) along with libjni_latinime.so (429 KB). The "official" Gapps contains a libjni_latinime.so (445 KB), so the original is of course overwritten. Why? I have no idea. Also, included in the Gapps is a LatinIMEDictionaryPack.apk.

The problem I'm having with that setup is that, while predictive text appears as I type in my 2nd language (non-system language), incorrectly spelled words do not get underlined as they do in my system language (English). Additionally, nothing appears in the list of "add-in dictionaries", when in fact, there are several that are installed with the aforementioned LatinIMEDictinoaryPack.apk.

So, I grabbed a copy of Bank's Gapps Keyboard add-on, Google IME keyboard zip. This zip contains a LatinIMEGoogle.apk, which is a miniscule 16 MB and replaces the original LatinIME.apk by deleting it in the script. The zip also contains a different lib called libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so, and deletes the original lib contained in the Gapps.

This add-on solves both my problems with the CM keyboard, as 2nd language misspellings become underlined, and the list of add-on dictionaries in the settings gets populated.

So, if the CM keyboard is not the AOSP keyboard, there is a 3rd keyboard which can be found in the Bank's keyboard add-on.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I'm fairly certain that BaNks keyboard addon uses the exact same keyboard and libs we use in our GApps. He also installs it the same way we do here.

EDIT: Just verified. It is the exact same keyboard and install method as used in PA GApps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] floepie:
Ok thanks. What's odd is that I can't get the google keyboard directly from the store for use as a user app. The store claims there is a compatibility issue with the Nexus 4, so I can't download it. Could it be that the keyboard is only meant for devices with 4.2.2. or earlier versions? It could also be that I'm trying to get from the Netherlands, but that seems unlikely.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
That would be an issue with the rom then.

PA GApps Beta Test - Feedback Requested

This is second set of BETA files. Hopefully, we've found the correct lib needed to make the AOSP swipe work properly. Also, in this version I added Google Bookmarks Sync back into the Modular packages (Full and Mini). Reverting to an older version solved the problems - they are also ART compatible.

Based on feedback and input from @0s1ride and a few random requests, I am considering changes to the Full Modular, Mini Modular, and Keyboard Addon. I have created test versions of each of these packages that I would like to receive feedback on before I make a final decision on whether to go forward. While any feedback is welcome, I am especially interested in verifying the functionality changes and that everything works as expected. Below, you'll find a summary of the proposed changes along with a download link.

FULL MODULAR Proposed Changes

Package will no longer included Google Keyboard (Keyboard Addon may be installed if desired). Change is proposed due to issues with using stock/AOSP keyboard if Google Keyboard is also installed in System partition.

Added libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so (from latest Google Keyboard apk) to add 'swipe' support to stock/AOSP keyboard from ROM

No longer removes stock/AOSP Launcher. You can still select Google Home (Google Experience Launcher) as an option in Settings

Google Bookmarks Sync (for AOSP Browser) added back and should be fully ART compatible

MINI MODULAR Proposed Changes

Added libjni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.so (from latest Google Keyboard apk) to add 'swipe' support to stock/AOSP keyboard from ROM

No longer removes stock/AOSP Launcher. You can still select Google Home (Google Experience Launcher) as an option in Settings

Google Bookmarks Sync (for AOSP Browser) added back and should be fully ART compatible

KEYBOARD ADDON Proposed Changes

Added libjni_latinime.so (from Factory Images) - probably should have been included all along

Replaces the stock/AOSP Keyboard. Change is proposed due to issues with using stock/AOSP keyboard if Google Keyboard is also installed in System partition.

DOWNLOAD PULLED - STAY TUNED FOR BETA 3

Please report back here with feedback. In order to fully test the changes, it may be necessary to install the test packages using the procedure outlined in FAQ - Point #4

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rohit02:
Guys a very humble request. Can some one please mirror the mini modular gapps to docs.google.com because no other site is accessible at my end..

Not the google drive.

No mega,mediafire, androifilehost.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] goldenratio:
You mentioned that about an hour ago. ;) It's not the gapps. They are ART compatible. I'm running ART with these gapps right now, and am not having any problems. You'll probably have better luck if you post in the appropriate thread for your ROM.

Seriously? Your ISP sucks! Can you use a proxy or VPN? I'll PM you a Dropbox link. I'm not sure what you mean about hosting on Google docs but not Google drive... they are the same thing.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 0s1ride:
latinime.so is the open source lib that doesn't support gesture typing.

latinimegoogle is the closed sourced one included in the stock image, and unbundled_latinimegoogle the one that comes with the play store.

I think I may found some answers to why unbundled solves the issue for some but not for others.

From the source of the AOSP keyboard: https://android.googlesource.com/pl...roid/inputmethod/latin/define/JniLibName.java

From the source of CyanogenMod keyboard: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...roid/inputmethod/latin/define/JniLibName.java

From the source of Paranoid Android ;) keyboard: https://github.com/ParanoidAndroid/...roid/inputmethod/latin/define/JniLibName.java

As you can see, while CyanogenMod looks either for jni_latinime or jni_unbundled_latinimegoogle, AOSP and PA look only for jni_latinime.

So, while CyanogenMod-based users will solve the issue, others may not.

(Google version probably looks for latinimegoogle or jni_unbundled_latinimegoogle.)

For your next beta I would try to include latinimegoogle and latinimegoogle renamed to libjni_latinime.so (like some gapps already did/do).

You can't just use latinime from AOSP, because it doesn't support swype, so you'll trick the keyboard renaming the proprietary one.

This will make the gestures work in both CM-based ROMs and pure AOSP ones and, hopefully, finally solve the issues for everyone.

Sorry for the confusion.

I tried to PM you before the release of the beta 2 but I guess it was too late.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rohit02:
My office proxy have blocked downloading sites..

So I can only access docs.google.com and can't open Google drive links. If they would have been same either it would have blocked both or I could have accessed both the sites.. Waiting for your pm. Thanks in advance. I need the mini modular gapps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] goldenratio:
Wow, those are some seriously stupid and misguided IT policies. Try typing docs.google.com into a browser -- it redirects to drive.google.com. It's the same service, but... I digress. I sent you a link via PM.

Not to encourage breaking corporate policy, but you should consider looking into an ssh tunnel + socks proxy via Chrome. Hardly anyone blocks outbound ssh (and if they block it by the port number, just setup an ssh server on port 80 or 443), so you can just funnel all the Chrome traffic through ssh.

I'm pretty sure that whenever he updates it's with the newest ones available at that time and updated apps is the #1 reason for an update. I don't think that the updates usually have errors.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
TKruzze knows how to update the Gapps, you guys really need to stop nagging him everytime you see an updated build number or receive an update from the playstore.

Believe it or not people have lives outside of XDA and they really should not be pestered about one or two apps every single time there is an update.

All I see anytime a single google app receives an update is 1 to 5 people posting about it as if the person COMPILING THE GAPPS doesn't keep up on when an application has an update.

I don't mean to come off rude but this is starting to look like spam with the amount of people doing it.

Keep calm, have a little patience and an update will be posted when TKruzze feels it's necessary or when he has the time.

Believe it or not, when you see there is a new update, you can flash it yourself until you see a new gapps package....shhhh.....don't tell anyone.
