Post #4 on the OP should give you everything you need. If you were comfortable using Gapps Remover, you should find the new method even easier.

Two posts above your original post, I gave an explanation.

You are absolutely correct. Your debug log clearly shows that Google Keyboard and Google Camera were installed in your system partition from your previous GApps install. However, nobody else has reported anything similar throughout the entire beta test period, and over a 100,000 downloads since, so I'm guessing it's peculiar to your device, ROM, recovery, or current setup.

The method the installer uses to determine if it was previously installed in system is to read /data/system/packages.xml and look for codePath="/system/app/<AppName>.apk". At this point I can't really offer a suggestion other than to try a clean install and see if that fixes the issue. If you find it does not, send me a copy of your packages.xml and I'll see I can figure out what's happening. My guess is a clean install should fix it, else I would have had other reports of similar problems.

EDIT:Just realized that you're using an OmniROM ROM. I seem to recall, several months ago when I introduced the Google Email addon, that OmniROM ROM's were unable to use it because of changes or variations they made to the packages.xml file. Perhaps you could check with other OmniROM users and see if they're having similar issues.

All core applications are pulled from the latest Nexus factory images. Play Store apps are pulled from different sources, but all app signatures are checked and verified as direct from Google before inclusion in any package.

It's part of the Lollipop GApps, but I have decided not to add it back to the 4.4.x GApps packages.

I really can't say what you're seeing, but whatever you're seeing was definitely not from these GApps. I went through all your logs (both BEFORE and AFTER) and Google Play Movies & TV is NOWHERE to be found. Are you sure you're not confusing it with one of the CM bloatware apps that come with your ROM??
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] KreAch3R:
I just made a test, installing the ROM & GApps as a MultiROM secondary. Movies & TV was nowhere to be found. I am sure that it was this app and I used Titanium Backup to uninstall it though, before I came here and post! Guess it was a tech ghost, I am sorry for your lost time! If it ever happens again, I will first find a way to reproduce it before reporting.

New gapps installer

Hello can someone please share a link to this new gapps installer i keep hearing about and can someone also give a quick step guide on how to use it?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Jozark:
can't partition non mmcblk device

Hello guys...

This is my first time using a Custom ROM, i'm using PA Kitkat 4.41 on my i9300 and i tried to install GAPPS package but somehow i cant install the package. it showed "can't partition non mmcblk device" (status 6), i'm using CWM 1.0.4.6 and just can install add on package.

Even worse I forgot to back up my old ROM .

What should i do? Please advice. :eek:

Thank you .
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
the new gapps intaller is the current gapps installer. so check on the first page of this thread... all download links are there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Djripper66:
Also do you know when they are going to fix hangouts problem with adding APN ? Or can gaps come with everything but hangouts for the stock gapps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
your free storage space and your free system space are two complete different things.

you need an additional 27848KB on the system partition to install the GApps. it's not the total space needed... you have 33024KB free... and need an other 27848KB on top of that.

Also, it's not really a good idea to install the GApps package on a stock rom... it's not supported so you might get into trouble later with your rom updates.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] elvispreasley:
Oh, I see - thank you for this clue...So, you mean: all I need to do - is to remove some stock applications, to release this additional 27848KB of space?

Regarding your suggestion about do not install the gapps on the stock ROM, cause it might get into trouble later with further rom updates, I can say thay I actually don't have any plan - to update my "stock" ROM officially via OTA update, If update will be available, I rather flash it with help of TRWP (with all possible wipes after installation), so there is not gonna be any issue with it)

Thank you for your suggestion - I'l try to manage my system space!

After a Sync.Me contacts synchronization, when I sync Google contacts, com.google.gapps stops working and sometimes I loose some contacts data such as numbers, emails or contacts themselves. Someone else encounter this issue?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Read FAQ #1.

I'm not aware of any issues with Hangouts. However, if there were, Google wouldn't bother to tell me. ;)

The new GApps installer will only allow these GApps to be installed on top of an existing PA GApps install. They won't install on top of another GApps package, or even a stock ROM. You would have to manually wipe your system partition if you want to install PA GApps on anything but a Clean install or an update to an existing PA GApps install. With other GApps providers not following Google's naming standards, I had no choice but to do this.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Djripper66:
Hello TKruzze , yes alot of people are having problems with mms settings. so my problem is that when i goto put the APN settings in for Telstra Australia and click save the APN settings vanish, same thing happends when you chane any of the profiles that are there but most of the time there is not because they do not stay there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jianggau:
There is something wrong with my cwm recovery , may be the busybox grep version . After I change the sys_app() always return 0, it works and no delete my googlecamera. I find "GoogleCamera" in packages.xml file:D, nothing wrong with your script but my recovery.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
This is an issue with hangouts... And TKruzze cannot do anything about it.

Why is there Lollipop GA in the KitKat area??

On the Vanir page I clicked the GA 4.4.2 link. Came to a page with a GIANT v.5 GA Picture and LOADS of info on this new version, Probably great if that is of interest to you, but how far down do I need to go to find what I came here for?

OR can I use this new version on the 4.4.2? I, somehow, doubt it.

Don't get me wrong, I get just a exited as anyone else about new stuff, but shouldn't this new version be in a new post?

Thanks for all your great Work and effort :)

Alpha gapps for android 5 isn't working HDR... Any fix?

Thanks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SnowRaptor:
Does your device support HDR? if not there will be no HDR for you.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nicholas1994:
Same problem for me with nexus 5
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
It's pretty much just me doing all the work of maintaining GApps. And, believe it or not, I even have a personal life outside of doing this. I'm considering pulling the 5.0 GApps and stepping back from everything for awhile.

Read FAQ #1. I put a LOT of time into creating what I had hoped was an informative OP. Perhaps I've done a poor job if it, which is a distinct possibility, but I'm beginnning to tire of reading the same question over and over again.

Is there something more I should do that would have made it easier for you to find the answer yourself? I ask this in all sincerity, because we're getting the same question on almost every single page.

There have been literally millions of installs of these GApps and, NOT ONCE, has it even been suggested that 'the scripts detect wrong free space'. Please attach an original, untouched, unedited, complete version of your log. Even better would be to do a 'Debug' install and attach those logs as well.

I appreciate the suggestions to 'fix' my GApps installer, but I first need to understand what's broken.

Not from Google, unfortunately. Google has decided, for whatever reason, to make the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 factory images unusable for GApps (as best I've been able to determine). This means that the only possibility to add HDR support is to use some files from the KitKat factory images. However, at this point, all work on Lollipop GApps is on hold.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] adrman:
Hammerhead with the same problem as well. HDR+ is supported on the device. Also, trusted places is not available with Smart Lock. Sorry, if this isn't the right place to post Alpha issues.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
What's exactly the problem?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
Your FAQ is well written... Complete and useful.

Even if you make it even better, you will still get repeated questions on the same repeated subjects. We live in an instant world where some persons forgot that reading is the best solution to most problems with computers/cellphone etc... And sadly there's very little we can do about this.

That said, you are great maintaining your gapps package and answering all those questions...

I'm sure that some of your users (myself included) would be more than happy to "officially" assist you for the answering part... That might help a little bit to relieve the pressure/frustration.

Hi, What should I write in pa-gapps file for 5.0 Alpha 1 installer so that it installs PicoGApps and FaceUnlock. I've tried

PicoGApps

Include FaceUnlock

only to find a status 2 error at the end of installation and upon boot to find only pico gapps to have successfully installed.

Edit: Do I have go the route of excluding every other google app that I don't want using exclude command instead of using PicoGApps as that command may be makes the script ignore the second line of pa-gapps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
You cannot downgrade to a lower package and includes things that are not already available in this downgraded package.

What you have to do is use the package that includes what you want by default and excludes things you do not want.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] adrman:
TKruzze, apologies for my post after yours. We posted at the same time and I didn't see your reply to the original question until now. Thanks for clarifying the HDR+ issue.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] d.casper.b:
So today I flashed the 21/11/14 Full gapps.

Chose what I wanted to install and it went fine. I had previously flashed the Google Keyboard add-on to have a swipe keyboard.

Now I noticed that, although the full package does not contain Google Keyboard, it did a good job of removing it, and actually leaving me with no keyboard.

I have now just decided to flash the keyboard (25/07/2014), and all went well.

I could have just searched the store to download it (voice search of course), but it is not available in my country! I mean, really? Makes sense why it never updated.

So, is there any way you can link to the .apk for people in this situation?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
I have started having a problem with com.android.phone force closing repeatedly after I install CyanogenMod 11 and PAGApps on my Droid Razr Maxx (xt912, spyder). I have been doing a number of tests to try and isolate the issue and I'm beginning to suspect Hangouts. For example, if I install PA GApps micro package which doesn't include Hangouts (and I don't let Google restore any apps which may include Hangouts during the initial configuration) then I do not get the com.android.phone FC. On the other had if I install the PA GApps mini package (which includes Hangouts) then I get the com.android.phone FC. I also get com.android.phone FC if I install the PA GApps stock package.

In all cases I start with the stock PA GApps distribution (2014-11-21 release). I then use the .gapps-config file to select the stock, mini, or micro package. I flash GApps at the same time, but immediately after flashing CyanogenMod 11 (2014-11-23 nightly release).

Attached are my log and debug files for the mini and micro installs (mini or micro added to filename, respectively). I'm not sure if this is a PA GApps issue, or just a Google Hangouts issue, but would appreciate any guidance from those more knowledgeable than me.

Thanks for any assistance.

Update: On further testing I believe the problem app may be Google+. I am doing an install of the PA GApps mini package, but using the advanced options to not install Google+. I will update this post once I see if this avoids the phone FC problem.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
Update2: Not installing just Google+ from the PA GApps mini package still resulted in FC of the com.android.phone process. However, if I do not install Google+ AND I do not install Hangouts, then the FC problem is avoided. I'm now going to install stock GApps without Google+ or Hangouts to see if the problem is solved. Log and debug files attached.

Running Velocity L/5 on my Mako and it seems to be running well. The only issue .

The PA GApps Alpha work great.

The ROM didn't include one.

Can someone PM me with a google mailbox invite?

Thanks in advance

Edit: I didn't know the gmail app bow supports exchange. Its strange but it works well.

Google now has the gmail app that supports exchange and they also have a google inbox app being developed.

They also have hangouts and are now working on google messenger just for SMS texting I believe.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
I would be happy to give you an inbox invite, PM me your gmail address.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
It's not a problem specific to the PA gapps... TKruzze is just including apps made by Google... It's probably something on your device causing this FC.

Try with a complete wipe of your device without restaurant any data. Also, check if you have the same problem when installing hangouts from the play store.

If it doesn't solve the problem, check your decide thread... Maybe someone has the same problem.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
Update3: Installing the stock package without Google+ or Hangouts still resulted in FC of the com.android.phone process (log and debug files attached). Guess I'm stuck using the mini package without Google+ or Hangouts for now. I'm assumming this is probably a Google problem, but I appreciate any advice and guidance that can be provided.

Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
Thanks for the reply. I did a complete wipe of my phone and restored it to stock. Then I regained root and installed SafeStrap recovery. Then I installed CyanogenMod and PAGapps (without restoring any apps or settings from the Play Store). I'm still getting a FC of the com.android.phone process. Not sure what else I can try ( short of getting a new phone :) )

In my device's thread only one other person is reporting similar issues. So far, there has been no solution.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
I was going to suggest check your device thread... it's probably something specific to your rom and device.

you could try to install apps one by one and see which one is causing you this trouble... try without Google Keyboard which caused FC in some specific condition in the past.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JuggaloDroid:
How are you wiping your device? Are you doing a complete wipe through adb cmd prompt/terminal?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RoryB:
I thought of a clarification to maybe help some of those having trouble understanding what you mean.

I think people need to be reminded that the choices they have for what they want to include are limited by the package they download.

If they download the Micro package and set it to the Pico package they will not be able to include something from the Full Modular package.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dwillian:
I think so, but I'm not really sure. For the Droid Razr Maxx there is a utility (developed by Matt Groff) that does the wipe, root, and recovery install. I believe it uses RSD Lite to wipe and restore factory image (the utility does ask you to boot into ap fastboot and connect usb cable during this step), then it runs the Droid Razr Maxx root exploit, and finally it installs SafeStrap recovery (version 3.73).

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
you have the solution right in your logs...

you don't have enough free space in your system partion.

you will either have to use a smaller package or exclude some apps with the gapps-config file.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] moovID:
ok thank you very much!

but, my internal space is free. there's 10Gb free space. is not enough?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
it has been said many many times...

internal free space and system space are two complete different things!

your device might have 16GB total memory... but this memory is divided in several parts... system partition is one of those parts.

System holds your rom and your gapps...

your system partition is limited to 659152KB which is not enough for everything you are trying to install.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
Free space is not the same as SYSTEM SPACE. You need enough space in your system partition. This has been explained to death.

Hi [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION],

Thanks for the Shell GApps, again and wanna ask about a feature used to have :) Earlier, GApps Remover used to display what stock apps being removed on screen as it performs. Any possibility that SGApps will integrate the same feature in future? Was a handy feature as a way to confirm removals without havin' to reboot.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] saaketp:
Well the new shell GApps installer can't show when it is removing the app as it doesn't remove any app. It doesn't install it in the first place.

But ya, just for confirmation of user a message like "gapps-config detected" can be shown.

Any reason why the Pico package deletes all my other gapps? I just want to update the framework and this thing deletes all my other apps...

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
if you use a smaller PA GApps package, it should remove other gapps that are not included in the package that you are installing... when upgrading, you should use the same package if you do not want to loose anything.

if you still want to use a smaller gapps package and want to keep your old gapps, you might also want to install your apps from the play store... that way, they will be kept in the data partition when you upgrade your pico gapps package.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sina_nej:
Thanks very useful
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dd043:
I install manually gapps to my system partition because my phone has low /data space and too often google breaks apps or make them very laggy. That is also why I use the pico package, it saves 30MB in /data when google service decides to update itself.

I am not arguing that the installer shouldn't do a cleanup, but the previous installers deleted only keyboard/camera, not all my drive/maps/music/keep/gmail... I did not see any mention of this change in the new installer post. I'm unhappy because android obviously deleted all their data and I have to reconfigure everything.

But given your answer I guess my best bet in the future would be to extract the files of your pico package myself instead of using the script.

Thanks
