Oh. I once installed a camera that had photosphere.. I was not impressed.. Now I have focal so not impressed. The cameras panarama mode is pretty nice though. It's interesting to me that focal is in the newer full gapps but the camera in photosphere is not..... If it's basically a failed excitement? Hrmmm.. Lovely stuff all in general.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
Focal isn't a Google App . . . so not in the Gapps package ;)

Googles my friend. I'm an idiot without it. Sorry I thought focal came with gapps but it must have came with PAC man. I'm going back to jellybeans as soon as a 4.3 version comes. Ignore me I'm stupid.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] limitedMUSCL:
I'm still trying to understand the difference between a new version of gapps and an old one with updates from Play Store.

For instance, I've just flashed version 20131126 (full) on top of 20131118 (full). Version 20131118 was all up to date to Play Store, as far as I know. However, after flashing 20131126, I got the initial message of "optimising 5 packages".

So, there was something new in the gapps. So, what may be this? I mean, is there any thing that is updated instead of just google packages that are updated from Play Store, such as the launcher, for instance? I'm really curious. :confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] DutchDogg54:
The apps are identical - the reason to flash updated gapps is because when you download an update or install one of them from the play store it's stored in /data whereas when you flash gapps you're using the /system partition which is a fixed size and is wasted space otherwise.

I believe "optimizing" during boot is just creating the Odex files for the new Deodexed apps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] limitedMUSCL:
Isn't it just flashing PA GAPPS 4.4 through CWM or TWRP? :rolleyes: Maybe deleting cache and dalvik-cache.

I came from 4.3 to 4.4 and I wiped everything actually. But, then, on 4.4, I just flash the new ROM without cleaning anything and re-flash gapps.

---------- Post added at 11:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

You got it! It might be it.

That might answer another question I had regarding the deodexing of gapps. I was trying to understand if deodexing was a Google thing or a PA gapps developers' thing. Well, if a few were optimised due to deodexing, they were not before, so Google bake them odexed, right? :silly:

Is it already well known that 11/26 Gapps broke ART support on all ROMs? At least CM11 based ROMs, anyway.

Also, Gmail vanished after flashing 11/26 full package. No problems with the 11/14 build.

Your Google Apps didn't force close?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rob116:
Hi all,

I'm getting something called "entriesrefresh" wakelock, listed as being associated with google search on the 11/26 modular mini gapps. Didn't have this problem with previous versions, and have since tried clean-flashing with no luck. I'm running Quantum ROM (4.4) for the AT&T S3. I can't find any information about this wakelock, aside from a few other people reporting it who have no idea what it is, but it looks as though it may have something to do with the GAPPS package. It's not causing massive drain, but is causing some (around 5-6 percent an hour at idle), and is keeping my device awake for huge amounts of time. FYI, it seems to go away when I turn on location services, which I usually like to leave off for battery savings purposes.

Hope somebody knows what this is, and how it might be prevented. Not a huge issue, but would be nice to figure out.

EDIT: forgot to add, I am on ART, and re-odexed. However, these weren't issues in previous gapps iterations, so I don't imagine this is the problem (unless something changed wrt the gapps package that might make it a problem).

Be a bit nice....wouldn't cost you a penny:)

I tried but the play services, dialler, messaging gives me FC after I switched ART

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
I read exactly what you said and you made a false claim, you said "The latest version is totally incompatible with ART -_-" which is completely false, there was no explaination or description to it possibly being just an issue for you, no, instead you made the general claim that the new gapps are totally incompatible with ART, that declaration basically says that you are telling everyone that the new gapps will not work with ART for anyone, that sir, is a false claim that I as well as all the others that responded proved wrong by explaining it works without issue for us.

So in turn, I don't know "why the hell" you would make a false claim, but you did. This is a developers forum where people come to get accurate information, if I and the others didn't chime in pointing out that ART does indeed work then people reading your untrue post would have possibly avoided a perfectly good set of gapps based on your incorrect proclamation.

As for you saying I countered your comment without listening to what happened, please in the comment I quoted of yours, point out your explanation for what you said about ART not working with the new gapps.

In the future, please try to explain the rom and device you are on and the exact gapps, the issue may be with the device/rom not the gapps because more people on here are able to use ART than not able to.

Yup, when you click on one the links below "Download Links" you can select between two sets of gapps, one compatible with 4.4 and the other compatible with 4.3
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RokuP:
Okay specifically, 11/26 Gapps doesn't work with ART on Kindle Fire Kitkang ROM nightlies(endless FC chain), nor VZW Galaxy Note II CM11 unofficial nightlies (disappearing Gmail and Google services framework). But if this is the ROMs' fault, why do prior GAPPS builds work perfectly? Saying it's my ROM would be a false claim as well. Also, many, many others are experiencing problems with 11/26. There does seem to be a problem with it. This was not a complaint, just letting the OP know.

Many thanks for continued awesome work, OP!

Lol download ...boot recovery...flash.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I realize that it is possible to just take the Photosphere camera binaries from a Nexus device and install it to a completely unsupported device. However, it doesn't mean that you would have full functionality or that it would even work properly.

To prove my point, take a look at the Camera and Gallery binaries for the various Nexus devices and you'll find that there are dramatic differences - even among 2 devices from the same manufacturer (i.e. Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 from LG). If the right thing to do was just install one camera/gallery for every device, then why doesn't Google do it that way? The reason, I think you'd find, is that because the hardware is different on every device, the camera binaries need to be different as well.

I can tell you that my life would be much easier if I only had to slap one camera on every device. However, that would go against our GApps philosophy of trying to deliver the GApps experience as Google intended.

Yep. That's what we're trying to deliver.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] yapoyo:
So I have installed the regular 20130813 gapps from goo.im on my phone running carbonrom, so to install PA Gapps would I have to clean flash or could I dirty flash?

EDIT: Never mind I figured it out.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Google Search has not been touched or updated since 11/13. Also, the app is exactly the same version you'd download from the play store.

I have. My work creating GApps packages is 'noticeably' less enjoyable than it was pre-ART.:laugh:

Thank you for the totally useless post. You shared nothing of value and gave me no information that could be helpful in any way. Normally, I just ignore this kind of post, however you appear to fashion yourself as some sort of developer, so I couldn't just let this one pass - SHAME ON YOU!

Thank you to the folks who have posted that you're having no issues with ART and the 11/26 GApps packages.

What does 'doesn't work' mean? That doesn't really give me a whole lot to go on. In your previous post you said that Gmail 'vanished' after flashing the 11/26 GApps. Since there have been over 75,000 downloads of the 11/26 Full Complete GApps package and nobody else has reported that issue, I think the problem seems to lie elsewhere.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
If you read the change log, you'll notice that beginning with the 1118 GApps, Gallery was removed from the Core Base and only installed on supported Nexus Android 4.4 devices.

Prior to this, it appeared that Google had separated the Gallery and made it a stand-alone app. However, with the release of 4.4 factory images for the other Nexus devices, it because very apparent that even though the apps were separate, Gallery still had a 'hardware dependent' quality that made it somewhat device specific. So, to make certain I wouldn't create any hardware dependency issues, Google Gallery is now only installed on the devices Google intended them for.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rob116:
Didn't mean to offend, just reporting what I was experiencing. The wake lock is labeled as being associated with search (ie, entries refresh.googlesearch... or something like that), but if I had to guess, it has something to do with changes to the services framework in 11/26, meaning it's Google's problem, not yours. Of course, the issue could very well be ROM side - I wouldn't know, I'm not a developer. I was just reporting what had been going on for me and several other people on CM11 for the S3 off of clean installs. Just thought you might have some insight, wasn't accusing anybody of screwing up.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] WhipeeDip:
Not sure if this is a ROM issue or an issue with these gapps. Using 11-26-13 mini modular and ART. My ROM is an unofficial CM 11 for the T-Mobile S4 made by albinoman887 (11-29-13).

Every time my Google account attempts to sync, I get an error saying that com.google.process.gapps has stopped. I believe it started to happen after I flashed the 11-29 gapps. I wiped both cache and Dalvik.

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] this is the problem with you developers who consider themselves to be a big shot and stuff...Maybe you actually are but still

Its a community here we need to listen to others and grow together

As someone else also report com.android.process.gapps FCs

Why not listen to them also?

And yes after flashing your package...I got FC with Play services which made by dialler, systemui, launcher etc to FC

Wiped data and flashed the rom again and your package of GAPPS froze Play Services and switched to ART, still Youtube and Google+ gave me FC as soon as the phone booted up, though it is usable now..

Its more or less the same thing that [MENTION=3492653]RokuP[/MENTION] is facing

Lets sort this out like Gentlemen okay?

Im sorry for not giving details of my problem, the first time I posted, Fault Accepted...

Why make it a big issue out of it eh?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
The issue made was of your fault. After you claimed that ART doesn't work at all I responded to you about making the false claim, then you defended yourself saying you didn't. That was untrue since the post is still here for all to see. Nobody is trying to be a big shot. You just pointed out that this is a community and we have to listen to others, well if people listened to your false post about ART not working with the new gapps then the community would have avoided them when there is no problems. Judging from all the fc issues you are having it may be that the rom you are on just does not play nice with ART. Too many people including myself are using these gapps on ART with absolutely no issues at all. Just so everyone is informed, I merely flashed the gapps package and it worked, I did not have to uninstall and reinstall any of the apps, so that to me means that ART works 100% with the newest gapps and anyone with issues most likely has a rom or kernel causing them. I don't mean to be rude but you are playing yourself as a saint in your posts responding rudely under the facade of being polite just by wording these comments a certain way. I would not be a recognized contributor on this forum with over 6000 thanks if I just came here to be a big shot and shoot down everyones posts.

I just feel that people need to live up to a certain code of conduct on this site and over the last year not many are. Between the new people asking questions that were just answered a few posts or pages prior without doing any sort of searching and the people proclaiming things don't work with out explanation there is just far too much to sift through now days to get any proper help or information. This is not and never will be a site for people to expect to just come and make their phone look cool, it is a developers forum, which means anyone can lurk and learn but if you plan to post, contribute something helpful or be descriptive in the issue you need help with.

....end rant.

[MENTION=2853378]Nephilim[/MENTION] Yes The GAPPS are compatible with your rom but im sorry perhaps that they aren't universally compatible :/

and there are no issues with ART on the rom...once I freeze play services everything works fine :)

If you have any suggestion ...please advice
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
Did you flash the 11/26 gapps on a dirty flash or from a fresh install?

Have you tried clearing data and/or cache on the google play services in system/apps?

Another suggestion would be to try removing google from sync in settings and then re-adding it.

I had an issue using ART on all previous gapps before 11/26 where I would get two isolated com.google.gapps force closes upon every boot, it wouldn't happen again until I rebooted but it was kind of annoying, once I flashed the 11/26 zip that went away though.

Other suggestions would be to try out some different kernels and see if the kernel you are using may be the culprit.

Otherwise do a nandroid and try flashing a different rom to see if you encounter the same issues, if not then it may just be the rom that you are using is not working well with gapps in ART.

Hope one of these helps you out. ;)

Can you actually help instead of the smart ass comments. Thx! :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
If you searched you would have gotten a result. I cannot count how many threads have spoken about this question without it even being asked. It wasn't a smartass comment, I am just kind of annoyed at how many times people ask a question without properly searching or even taking the time to read a few pages back on a thread, we are adults, things are not going to be spoon-fed on a developers forum. The problem is not so much the people asking these questions constantly, it's more largely the people that hand the answer over everytime so people think they can just ask the same thing constantly without doing any research.

4.4 Gapps have an issue that causes the auto install to not properly work on pretty much all unsupported devices. This means that unless you are using one of the nexus or google developer devices that has an official kit-kat build you will run into issues with auto-install. This does not mean none of the apps will install, it just means everyone not running an official kit-kat rom meant for their device will run into this bug. Some people won't get any apps installed without doing it manually, others will get a few apps to auto-install but 99% will not get them all to install. If you are one of the few that it did work for then consider yourself lucky. I am sure this issue will be fixed eventually but as of right now there is not fix. Honestly, it doesn't take more than a minute or two to click on the playstore, go to "my apps" select the "all" tab and manually click each install on each app you want back, after you click the install the rest is automatic. It took me about 5 minutes to have all my apps back over hi-speed wifi.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tdaniels17:
If that question is so common, it should be in the common questions and answers section.

I tried the multi select in play store. Once selected, at the top is a 'check' and an x. Clicking on the check doesn't do anything and of course clicking the x removes them from the 'my apps' section.

To those who use TI backup ..batch clear cache from all system apps prior to switching to ART will help.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Since Google Search is at the core of so many functions in GApps, you'd have to do a lot more than simply remove the apk. You might want to look at BaNkS GApps. I believe he has a package that doesn't include Google Search.

This is not a function I use, personally, but I have tested it and it worked fine on all my devices.

To anyone having this problem - Please let me know: Does the option to restore applications show when setting up your ROM? I'm trying to determine if the restore option even displays for those having issues or whether the option does not show up at all.
