Thanks for your effort. I just tried the Modular 4.3 latest package and it's working like a charm with CM 10.2 M1. Eagerly waiting for some PA KitKat goodness for my maguro! Have a nice day all.

Can I use 4.4 GAPPS on 4.3 ROM?

No. Just use the latest and final 4.3 package. Some apps from the 4.4 may work but not all the important ones.

PA GApps Status Update

Thanks to those who have been patient and understanding while I've been away these past 4-5 days. For those who have not.... your contract is hereby revoked.:p

I will be releasing updated packages within the next 24 hours. However, I wanted to take a moment and share the current status of GApps and PA GApps and how I see things going forward.

To Deodex or not to Deodex... That is the question

I am convinced, more than ever, that

odexed GApps are a bad idea

. True, deodexed GApps won't work with ART, however

odexed GApps were really only designed to work on the device the odex was compiled for

. To prove my point, you can do a bit for bit comparison on any of the odex files from any Nexus factory image and you'll find that the files are different - even between similar Nexus devices (i.e. Nexus 7 WiFi and Nexus 7 LTE). To me, this almost guarantees that there could be incompatibilities (unexplained FC's) when using the odex files from a Nexus 5 factory image on completely dissimilar devices. Then there's the problem of addon.d backup script support. We know, for a fact, that CM does not support backing up and restoring .odex files. However, the problem likely extends to other ROM's as well.

So, what's the answer then? The easy way would be to go back to deodexing which is what all GApps maintainers had done prior to KitKat. Backup functionality would be restored and the odex compatibility issues would be gone. This, however, would leave ART users out in the cold or looking for alternative GApps packages. Since ART is only experimental and adds a whole new dimension of application compatibility issues anyway, I am considering this option, however I haven't finally decided at this point.

Another option is to convert (deodex) the odexed applications using dex2oat - recently released by Google to support KitKat. This, I understand, will allow the applications to work with ART and will also leave them in a deodexed, addon.d compatible state. However, I've been unable to find much information, to this point, on how to accomplish the conversion. If you can provide details or assistance with this, please PM me ASAP. This is the option I would prefer to choose, however, I'm going to need more information than I've been able to find to date.

The final option is to continue to do things as we currently do - Odexed GApps. However, for all of the reasons stated above, I really don't see this as a viable option any longer. I'll spend the next week or so evaluating things before I make a final decision.
​

I am also continuing to troubleshoot the camera problem on the Nexus 10. Thanks the [MENTION=4752026]drewski_1[/MENTION] for the continued assistance. Since I don't think I've read any issues with other supported Nexus devices, I'll assume they are working fine.

Lastly, the Google Dialer - I am still planning on adding it. However, since a 'One Size Fits All' approach has not been found, I am waiting until all the above problems are solved before I add new ones to the mix. :fingers-crossed:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _Raziel666:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] thank you for your this lengthy explanation. Of course you didn't need to answer to all those ungrateful people complaining about 0-day and whatnot.

On the issue of odexed vs. deodexed: some guy here (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54188/) provides a link to his deodexed GApps package (http://d-h.st/users/dhacker29/?fld_id=27426#files), which is said to work ok with ART and KitKat. Haven't tried that myself though.

Looking forward to what you'll come up with! :)

I just flashed 4.4 gapps on your pa maguro aosp 4.4 kit kat

Panorama is not working. Everytime I use it, camera will not work and shows only black.

And I don't have Photosphere as well. Is Galaxy Nexus included on those compatible phones for Photosphere? Thanks in advance!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
Looking forward to the future of the Gaps.

BTW, "some guy" is dhacker29, a pretty well respected dev, at least on the TI OMAP side of things.

I'm trying his deodexed GApps on one device with ART and is working flawlessly so far. (Also running his CM11 build on my OG DROID Razr Maxx.)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
I think focusing on deodexed gapps is the best choice, ART is still an experimental compiler and I'll wait for google to release it officially before starting to work on it (we cannot know, maybe final version will be much different from current state)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Unfortunately, since Google made the decision to stop supporting Android 4.4 on the Galaxy Nexus, I'm unable to support it as well.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ataris_kid:
Has anyone had success with this GApps package and Google's backup transport on 4.4? I'm not able to get Android to recognize the Backup Transport service provided by GoogleBackupTransport.apk on any 4.4 ROM that I have tried. It is as though Android doesn't even recognize that the transport is available. A more detailed breakdown of the issue can be found here (in hindsight, I shouldn't have posted it in a Galaxy Nexus-specific area). Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: After reading the odex/deodex post, I assume this is related to the fact that these are odexed. Guess we shall see how this plays out.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] friedsonjm:
I would like to put in a vote for ODEX'd GAPPs, in support of ART. I suggest that there is 'more' to being part of the XDA community than 'just' creating 'daily drivers.' We have some responsibility, however ethereal, to developing Android in whatever capacity we have the time and skills to contribute from, be it developing, testing, etc. ART is clearly the future direction of Android under Google, and figuring out the aspects of using it, developing for it, is something we should be involved with, to the best of our abilities.

Just my $.02 worth. jf
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Entropy512:
The backuptool functions in CM and Omni (not sure about other projects) have had a longstanding assumption that backing up apps with odex files was useless - so any odexed file does not have the APK backed up.

For a long time, gapps never contained odex files so this worked for years. The new odexed gapps violates this assumption.

I'm going to look into fixing this on omni tonight. I'm curious what the original rationale for not backing up anything odexed was. My guess is that backing up an odexed APK without the .odex IS useless - so the logic should be changed here. This logic dates all the way back to eclair...

Edit: Upon searching more, a discussion of this and odexed gapps for ART compatibility came up elsewhere, and someone already submitted a change to CM's backuptool that was -1ed as it is supposedly possible to have deodexed gapps with ART (dhacker's gapps apparently does this.)

For this reason, I don't think I'm going to change omni, if it is indeed possible to have ART-compatible deodexed gapps. This means that in the short term until TKruzze figures out dhacker's magic, on CM and Omni you'll need to either reflash gapps after every firmware package flash, or go back to the November 7 PA gapps release.

I'm on I9100, with today's CM 11 build by [MENTION=1077833]infected_[/MENTION] , and I was very excited about today's changelog.

Unfortunately every 26th gapps package I download from OP gives me a rain of force closes :eek:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
As a rule, I generally never do this type of thing. The reason is just because something appears to work doesn't always mean it's working correctly or as intended. However, because the GNex remains a fairly popular device, I'll check with the Paranoid Android Maintainer for the GNex and if he gives the okay, I'll make the change.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Maybe try a clean wipe. I can tell you that almost every issue reported here comes from folks running an early CM 11 build. That leads me to believe the problems lie with CM. Also, turn off ART, if you're using ART, and switch to Dalvik.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
I'm using CM11 with ART and I only get 2 force closes from com.google.gapps upon booting, then everything works absolutely fine. That is the most I have had using these gapps on pretty much all the 4.4 roms I've used CM or AOSP. I don't get where people are getting all these constant FC's from, I think it may be a rogue application or a kernel not playing nice.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] GTMoraes:
I've discovered what is it, I think.

The Browser sync isn't working on ART, it seems. It fails to sync and start draining the battery too hard (Google Play Services get stuck or something, trying to sync).

I get two FC on boot, then sporadically more two FC from com.google.gapps too, through the day. Not that annoying, but I've noticed it was draining WAY too much battery (~50%)

You can check that on Settings and scroll all the way to the Accounts, then click Google. It might say the sync has failed and will try again later, but if you disable the Browser sync, it will work flawlessly.

Idk if it's exclusive to ART, but that's what I'm running.

It's on the N7, ROM on my sig.

Does anyone have this, too?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RokuP:
Browser sync has ALWAYS been like that for me on any device, any ROM (AOSP at least), and since long before anyone ever heard of ART. It's not an ART issue. Just disable browser sync and sync Chrome instead. Disabling or uninstalling stock browser will make that go away, too.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] GTMoraes:
Well, when I enable it, it gives me the two FC the guy above said. Disabling it made the FC go away =)

And I hope it will ease up on battery consumption too...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RokuP:
I meant that browser sync failing has always happened. Regarding FC's and the like, I have no idea since disabling browser sync and/or removing stock browser is one of the first things I do after clean flashing a ROM. All I can say is I'm on ART and have exactly ZERO problems. Never seen a FC on any KitKat ROM on any device. Maybe I'm lucky, maybe I'm careful with my setup. Who knows?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ilarrain:
Browser sync doesn't work if you have enabled encryption in chrome sync. It hasn't been updated in a long time. AFAIK it is not shipped in any actual nexus phone. IMHO it would be better off the gapps.

OK still having fc on gapps with art. How and what I flashed

Omni 4.4 experimental n7000 27.11.13

Gapps full 26.11.13

SuperSU 1.8

Md5 checked

From omni 26.11.13 reboot on recovery wipe advanced everything except sdcard and internal memory.

Wipe reset too.

Then installed all 3 files and rebooted.

On start the new Google book (magazine or how it is called) stopped working 4-5 times till I setup the Google account.

From superSU I granted always root rights.

On about phone, I enabled dev settings and switched to ART.

Phone rebooted by it self to config art.

Now on restart I used play store to install the apps where the 1 FC occurred. After every other FC where on apps with a account setup.

Whatsapp

Chat on

Facebook

Tapatalk

Twitter

Dropbox

Chrome

Now using them I don't get a FC I hope I am done with it.

One more thing my extsdcard is in exfat so I can't use it on this ROM ATM and I am bored to copy back and forth 45gb with phone USB speed (wtb NTFS).

So any ideas where I did screw it?

[MENTION=4345268]Braxos[/MENTION]

Same phone (N7000) ,same ROM (Omni 26/11), same GApps (26/11), same SuperSU 1.80.

Installed with clean install. Restored WhatsApp and Tapatalk via Titanium Backup and then switched to ART. NO force closes at all.

Went back to Dalvik after that as I use some apps which are "Dalvik only" atm.

Only difference is that I use(d) the SELinux switcher to get permissive mode from the start up.

I rather think it is rom - related.

This is simply the best option for me as all the packages in the OP come with some gapps that I don't want to have.

So best way is to install just play store and just download whatever I want later.

Also since Google keyboard, Chrome have their own module, cant the play store have it too?

I've been following this thread for a few weeks and have been running CM11 builds for the whole time, but I still am not quite sure why the photosphere camera can't be installed on any ROM? Is it like the dialer (which works perfectly for me also) in that it doesnt' always work, or is it a proprietary Google apps thing? I'm using the 4.4 photosphere camera and dialer from zips I got elsewhere on xda and both work great. Sorry if I offended, but genuinely interested.
