For anyone who has the issue where when you open the camera, it says camera has stopped working, I know the fix. So go into Settings>Apps>All>Camera then disable it and clear cache and data then re enable. Worked for me :D

Hi,

I've used the following Gapps package and i'm getting Google+ FCs upon reboot, and google does not appear on settings menu when i'm creating the account.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Unless the scripts delete essential libs and such for certain apps it shouldn't be a problem. Nandroid first though to be safe.

If PA GApps do work on stock it's better than integrating apps such as Google+ with TitaniumBackup since the libs from it has to be put in /system/lib/ or else it'll constantly pop up force close messages.

I tried to flash 15.12. package on stock 4.4.2. on Flo (rooted with SuperSU). After building up cache on startup (I wiped dalvik and cache) it just hangs on last message, I think it is "starting Android apps" or something like that, for 10 min or so.

So I presumed that Gapps do not work with stock roms?

But with reading this I started to think that maybe I could flash package, and that problem is somewhere else? :what:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] smarki:
I agree, it's probably an issue with the software. The problem is I'm currently in the army and I don't have time to try out differebt roms and stuff like that (imagine how hard it is to a flashaholic like me :( )

I guess I'll just have to live with that, cuz my phone is working fine, and so is my internet connection (although I'm having problems with that sometimes so I wanted to see if the apn has something to do with that)

I'm on X-Mas edition of DroidKang if you wondered (25.12)

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SquaSeeker:
Maybe a noob question (apologies) but can someone explain to me why these full gapps are so large (200+MB) versus one like Banks (75MB)? Is there really that big a difference in apps included, or...? Shouldn't they relativity be the same in size?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] FDisk80:
Different files optimized for different devices, plus ART support I guess.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
Banks has a different philosophy. He doesn't include programs that can be downloaded from the Play Store (even though they have to be downloaded and installed one by one).

Download both sets of GApps. They are in .zip format. Then open them and look at the apps. You will see the difference.

Both PA GApps and Banks GApps are ART compatible.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
Banks supports ART. His core package is only ~18mb. No issues using it so far (all gapps from play store work just fine as user apps).

Sent from my Note 3
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] armydog13:
One big reason to install gapps as system package rather than user apps is space. System partition is a set size, and using an aosp ROM (200 Mb) rather than a sense ROM (900 Mb) means that you have a lot more empty space on the system partition. Why not use that space for as many of your apps that will work properly installed as system apps, rather than eating up precious internal storage. If you could resize the system partition it wouldn't matter, but AFAIK that isn't possible.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
The Google keyboard has numbers across the top row of keys, accessible via "long press."
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] abdel12345:
On the xperia play we used to resize it. The kernels could have different partition sizes and using a certain ftf that unlocked system partition or something like that can't remember exactly

The package he was quoting was the Stock one which does replace it. In the part of my post you didn't quote, I suggested Full Modular instead of Stock package.

---------- Post added at 04:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

There is a large difference in apps that are included.

BaNkS GApps takes a more minimal approach and doesn't include many Google Apps that can be installed from the Play Store such as Google Music/Books/Movies etc.

His "Standard" is even slimmer than PA GApps Modular Mini in terms of what Apps are included.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] FDisk80:
A couple of questions.

Will the standalone "Photosphere Camera Addon Module" work on i9300 with CM11? Or is it something just for Nexus devices?

If it does, does it remove the AOSP Camera/Gallery. Or will both stay?

Those two threw me off:

Although the package includes the Camera/Gallery for all Nexus devices, only the specific files for your device will be installed.

² PhotoSphere Camera/Gallery is installed on supported Nexus devices with a rear camera
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] codemonkey98:
It should work but do not install it from the phone itself. Always flash it or you'll have issues with the add on.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] FDisk80:
Yes, obviously it's flashable module.

Does it remove AOSP Camera/Gallery?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] codemonkey98:
No it doesn't but it will include Google Pictures alongside the stock or "AOSP" gallery.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Adam3Sixty:
The camera in this thread WILL NOT give u photosphere, if u use the camera from the Banks thread it will, I am running OmniROM on my GT-I9300 and have photosphere working perfectly. I also found that the "Pictures" app was part of Google+ and nothing to do with camera or gallery apps. I froze (then uninstalled) Google+ cos I never use it and the Photos app was gone too.

Hope this helps :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] codemonkey98:
I thought this would include photosphere? ...

But you will have two photo applications but as I stated, you will still have the AOSP gallery and that will still work with the AOSP camera.

Omg what is so hard to understand!? You will not have photosphere and you will not be able to view then either!! Unless your phone is a Nexus. Sorry if I come off jerkish but several people have explained this very clearly.

To use and view photosphere you need to find a zip elsewhere.

CM11 Nightlies / TWRP / 0-Day PA GApps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sagi73:
Hello,

sorry for my english.

I used pa_photosphere-module-4.4.2-20131215-signed.zip with the nightly CM today, with Gapps kk-gapps-20131208.zip (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps).

I flashed the ROM, the Gapps and pa_photosphere-module-4.4.2-20131215-signed in this order.

I have a problem with the panoramic camera, and I verified that it is due to the lib libjni_mosaic.so

Practically, in /system/lib, I do not find libjni_mosaic.so TUNA specific, but generic, and therefore the panoramic camera does not work.

I also checked the "updater-script" and it seems to me correct, but the libjni_mosaic.so not checked properly.

What else can I check?

Thank you, hello.

Used the full package on my Nexus 10 but the camera didn't install. It's there in /system/app. Manually installing failed.

How to get the Camera to install/ work? Thanks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
The problem is related to:

A. You using CM Gapps and trying to then use the PA_photosphere module

B. You are using outdated gapps.

I am on using the Google Stock Package which includes photosphere camera and panoramic camera fix for Tuna devices, the 12/15 version worked fine and now the 12/30 version works just fine as well.

Why would you use CM Gapps with a PA based photosphere module?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 0s1ride:
Yeah, there's some issue in the install script: although the tuna specific lib is present in the zip, it's not installed.

Couldn't investigate more and forgot to mention it due to the testing for the beta packages.

Try manually put it from the zip (/devices/tuna/lib) in /system/lib with the correct permissions.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
The Nexus 10 has been a real thorn in my side since 4.4.x. I've tested and tested and have not been able to fix. I'll do some more work on it this weekend and try to find the issue. Thanks for your patience.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Well, I've just spent the better part of an hour going through the install script in the photosphere addon, line by line, and although I found several things I need to clean up, I could not find what was preventing the tuna lib from installing. I'll try with a fresh set of eyes tomorrow but, in the meantime, if you (or anyone) can find the issue, please let me know.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Took a look, and I think it's because you've already moved the common libjni_mosaic.so in with the combined tuna/mako if-statement in install-optional.sh, so cp won't overwrite it using the tuna lib without the -f switch. :)

To fix it I think you'd just need to change it to:

if (grep -qi "tuna" /proc/cpuinfo ); then
echo "Installing Galaxy Nexus Panorama lib"
cp -af /tmp/photosphere/tuna/* /system/
fi

Probably wouldn't hurt to add -f to all the cp -a commands even. :good:

P.S. Could we get GoogleDialer.apk in the next release? :D

I've had PA beta installed previously, but upon stumbling upon a bug decided to do a clean reinstall of PA beta. After wiping and booting been getting that message, and won't let me do anything.

You flashed the dialer module too? If so that is the problem or you didn't wipe the /system partition

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sagi73:
How could you see in the continuation of the discussion, the problem is not caused by CM Gapps it, or by the use of outdated Gapps.

The problem, as I pointed out, is relative to the lib "libjni_mosaic.so" that device with Tuna, is not copied correctly during the installation of "pa_photosphere-module-4.4.2-20131215-signed".

I am trying to use the CM Gapps because, with CM11, "pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20131230-signed.zip" and "pa_photosphere-module-4.4.2-20131215-signed" I can not just install the camera.

I do not want to use "pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131230-signed" because I do not want to replace stock / AOSP application.

it seems to be a problem related to google search.. hope the OP can fix the script somehow :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Your suggestions are excellent. I'll probably even use them when I do the next update. However, the problem does not appear to occur with Google Stock GApps, which is where your suggestions come from. The problem, as I understand it, only occurs with the Photosphere Addon Module, which is done using edify, not Bash scripting.

I may try something similar on the edify side of things, though, by first trying to delete the lib before overwriting it.

Also, there already is a GoogleDialer Addon Module. It's not perfect, but a perfect one doesn't exist.

The problems you're having are not related to scripting - especially since everything works fine on other devices. My guess is that the Nexus S and Kindle Fire simply do not have sufficient storage available (after flashing the ROM) in the System partition to handle the installation of the Google Stock package.

I'm planning to address this in an upcoming release by testing for sufficient available storage before installation. However, this won't likely fix your problem, it will still fail to install - it will notify you the reason why, though.

My suggstion would be to try the Full GApps package as it provides similar functionality to the Google Stock package, with a lower memory requirement for installation.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Acid96:
Thanks for your feedback, but I've already tried to proceed with full and mini packages and still. For the stock I never tried it. Also I like to mention that I tried Banks GApps (the core one with only play store included) and the side effect was the same.

I suspect it doesn't enter the condition for the tuna specific lib altogether, as it don't even show "Installing Galaxy NexusLibrary Update" but only "Installing Nexus 4 Photosphere Camera & Gallery".

Anyway, testing right now, will report back, hopefully.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
<sigh> You should have been more clear. Your original reply was to someone using the Google Stock package who could not get Google Search to show as an installed app.If my GApps and BaNkS GApps won't work on your device, then it's clearly not a GApps problem.

Because that's what the users overwhelmingly voted to include when I first proposed the package. You might try [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] Gapps here.

Bingo! You're right! I should have seen it right away. I'll just create a separate 'ifelse' for the tuna lib and everything will be fine.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 0s1ride:
:) Yeah, basically the if (mako OR tuna) is true, so it doesn't enter the else for tuna.

I just tested adding the tuna ifelse inside the mako||tuna one, like this:

ifelse(
file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.product.board") == "MAKO"||file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.product.board") == "mako"||file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.product.board") == "tuna",
(
ui_print("Installing Nexus 4 Photosphere Camera & Gallery");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("devices/common", "/system");
package_extract_dir("devices/mako", "/system");

ifelse(
file_getprop("/system/build.prop","ro.product.board") == "tuna",
(
ui_print("Installing Galaxy NexusLibrary Update");
ui_print(" ");
package_extract_dir("devices/tuna", "/system");
)
);

),

but, of course, an entirely separate 'ifelse' for tuna will work too, and it's even better readable.

Sorry for bumping this question, but I just want to be clear...Gapps stock package doesn't work on stock rom? I suppose cause of that odex/deodex difference?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
Thanks Tkruzze, your guess seems to be the right one, this would also explain why the same script works fine on other devices.

Certainly the available space check would be a good addition, in the meantime I'd like to find a way to use Google Stock package on Nexus S, since I want to replace stock apps anyway.

So, if I edit the gapps zip and deletes some apks to free some space, will the installation work anyway?

What are your suggestions to slim down the package?
