sounds like a broken download... happened to me a few times.

before flashing try using something like 7-zip to extract all the files. if there's errors u might wanna redownload

one more thing... READ THE OP. there's a guide there on how to report errors
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Valdrinit:
Will try.

Sorry, I just saw the guide. For the sake of completion, I use Dalvik.

LE: I used 7z to decompress the package I had flashed. There was no parsing error (or any kind of error).

Looking at the 2014-07-20, I'm not sure if it has exactly what I'm looking for.

There is the Google Stock Package, which contains:

There is the Mini Modular Package, which contains:

Let's say I wanted a package that was exactly like the Google Stock Package, but not containing Google Wallet or Quickoffice, i.e.:

By flashing the Google Stock Package, and then immediately flashing GApps Remover with a '.gapps-remove' file with the following contents:

I would achieve this on most devices:

I say 'most', because the device would have to have a large /system partition. If it didn't, the installation of the Google Stock Package would fail:

However, let's say I have a device with a small /system partition and I've just freshly installed a KitKat AOSP ROM containing the following:

but I'd like to replace those with the Google Stock Package containing:

whilst also preventing the installation of:

What I would like is an additon to "Advanced Features & Options" in order "... to modify... the default installation of... " *all* the GApps packages - not just Full Modular GApps installer. Given that '.gapps-remove' is consulted before GApps Remover is flashed, a file called '.removeFromExistingROMAndDontInstallWithGApps' that is consulted before *any* GApps package is flashed.

If this file listed

then the total size of the Browser, Email, Exchange, Gallery, Launcher, MMS, Pico and Studio APKs in the existing AOSP ROM would be calculated and added to the remaining size of /system. The total size of the FaceUnlock, GGallery, NewsWidget, QuickOffice, Sunbeam and Wallet APKs in the chosen GApps package being flashed would be calculated and subtracted from the size of the GApps. So longer as the latter total was more than 10MB smaller than the former total, the flash would be allowed to proceed.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheDannemand:
None of the packages have exactly the combination that I happen to use either. But PA GApps gives you four different sizes to choose from, depending on your needs, in addition to several add-on packages AND customization features to prevent or force select modules (as you discovered). Then GApps Remover was added to help users further trim their installation with minimal work and risk.

I think that's pretty great!

But since that apparently isn't enough (everybody wants a package made just for them) TKruzze and osm0sis are working on a new modular installer that should allow even more customization during the flashing. If you scan through the last few months of posts you'll see hints of what to expect.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Quick question - does the new maps contain XHDPI resources (as in proper icons for the Nexus 5)? And on that note - have you ever decided that if there's different Maps versions based off screen DPI and size to make your script pick the proper Maps version?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] GermainZ:
Looks like an outdated GmsCore package if I have to guess. Grab the latest Play Services/Games add-on and flash it.

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]: I believe this is planned at some point, but the Play Services add-on should really be included in the Gapps packages (and not as an optional add-on).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
Oh, I wasn't aware of that issue with libndk1.so library... so we have to wait for a fix by Google, providing that they are willing to fix it.

In the meantime, maybe we could just remove QuickOffice from packages and let the user choose which office suite install (assuming no one will keep using a not-updated-anymore suite) ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] GermainZ:
Using QuickOffice still makes sense, especially for pre-L users (which should be everyone except developers, and even developers aren't likely to keep running L 24/7). The main reason is PDF support which isn't present by default in KK or earlier versions of Android (alternative apps plainly suck compared to QuickOffice's PDF reader).

Other than that, It Works™, and it also has everything in one app instead of four (Docs, Slides, Sheets and a PDF reader of your choice). With that in mind, I can see people choosing to keep on using it until the other apps offer significant benefits or major bug fixes (that actually affect them).

(For the record, I have QuickOffice installed for the PDF reader, and Docs/Sheets/Slides for their respective functions.)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Without a log or even an accurate description of the problem you're having, providing assistance is pure speculation. These GApps are downloaded hundreds of thousands of imes per week. I'm sure if there was a problem with the GApps package, others would be reporting similar problems.

<Speculation Mode ON> As noted inthe FAQ section, some users have reported FC's with the Google Keyboard when doing a 'dirty' FIRST-TIME install of the Google Stock GApps package. Installing updated versions never seem to be an issue. Also, as noted on the OP, performing a Clean install will definitely fix the problem for you.<Speculation Mode OFF>.

EDIT: Any of the other GApps packages offered here would likely have installed just fine without the keyboard issue.

The philosophy I use when if I am having problems with ANY Android app, ROM, addon, etc, is to FIRST clean the app's data/cache and reboot. If that doesn't fix it, then I'll do a nandroid and a Clean Install (System and Data wipe). If I find the problem goes away (they generally do), then I'll realize that the problem is on my end. If the problem is still present on a Clean Install, I'll simply restore my nandroid, and drop the developer a note with an accurate description of the issue, along with logs of the problem. All of this can be done in 10 minutes with most devices.

What I don't do is blame the guy or tell him 'there's problem with the package', especially if it's a service being provided for free.

Are you having issues? While I generally pull most updates directly from my N5, I still hadn't received the update when I released yesterday, so I pulled from a reliable resource and verified the signature and all resources. If you click the button below You'll see that all specs are the same as the prior version which was pulled from my N5.

He clearly indicated that he did flash the Play Services/Games Updater, so I doubt that was the issue. As I speculated above, the likely source of the FC was the Google Keyboard, which for some reason, doesn't like to be installed on anything but a clean device.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] GermainZ:
He flashed the old version, before you updated it. I actually had a similar issue, but checking the logcat it looked like incompatible versions trying to use the wrong classes from each other's package (and clearings cache/dalvik cache didn't help), so I just grabbed the latest version and flashed it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Valdrinit:
Installing the latest package solved all the problems I had. Your packages are the best ones out there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dabotsonline:
Don't get me wrong, [MENTION=832590]TheDannemand[/MENTION] , I have nothing but respect and praise for the great work that [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] have done. I would never take anyone's time and effort and love for granted. I was simply trying to make a constructive suggestion for how the flexibility of the installation could be improved. The proposed modular system sounds great, though, so I'll search back through this thread as you suggest.

PA Mini Modular

Hi , I've been a fan of PA Gapps for quite some time and have been using and recommending it to others , the Mini Modular Package on my Samsung SPH-D710 ( Epic 4g Touch Galaxy S2 ) and running Vanir 4.4.4 . The last successful install of PA Gapps Mini I've been able to do is the 06-20-2014 release which weighed in at 136 megs. The size seems to have swelled and now at 142 megs I am about 2 to 3 megs short of space to flash the later release of my favorite package . I hate to have to drop way back to the micro modular package so wanted to ask if any fat or anything might could be trimmed to keep those of us who have come to love this package with not so big system partition space can continue to use it ? Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] wolfnumba1:
Is there anyway I can help/test this, I would really love to have this working, I much prefer having the google play version of the app since I use for exchange I want to get the updates from google as they come. Or if not, I know you said don't ask lol but can you PM me the email add on manually if you have a copy, I wont complain or anything if it breaks my phone, Ill just wipe and start from scratch, running CM11 so I think it should work. Let me know!

What is the advantage of using chrome beta over regular chrome if any?

THanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
the only advantage is to try the latest feature that Google will eventually put in the stable version of Chrome.

It might be buggy a little bit... but usually it's fine.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Darrien13:
I'm having a issue with the default SMS app is there not a split option? I am using the FULL MODULAR PACKAGE and whenever I get to 160 characters, it will not let me type any more characters to continue my text, usually it would begin to split the text into multiple messages until I reach a certain amount of characters and it becomes a MMS, so why can't I type more than 160 characters? Thanks! Is everyone else also having this issue? Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TheDannemand:
I understand. And your suggestion was a good one. But given that TKruzze and osm0sis are working on a brand new installer, I would expect that adding new advanced options to the old installer (with consequent testing, debugging and support) is not in the cards.

I could have expressed that more succinctly and friendly in my post :o

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] klingklang76:
Hi, I may have found a bug, I'll just try and explain it as well as I can: I'm running cm11 m8 on a galaxy nexus, and have been using pa mini with some customisation for a while with no problems. I've recently added Google camera add-on to my "flashing routine", and theme engine has been broken ever since. I can't use pre-installed themes (which disappear from the system), nor add new ones. So this config works flawlessly:

- pa gapps mini

- play services add-on

- Google keyboard add-on

- gapps remover

But as soon as I add Google camera, theme engine breaks. I've tried several times even after wiping system partition, and it's reproducible. Let me know if I can help any further and how, I'm not really technical with this stuff :) cheers!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
There must be somewhere because people were making them on builder.clockworkmod.com. CM shut down the recovery job it connects to on Jenkins after 6.0.4.8 though, so no Touch anymore unless Koush makes them himself. Non-touch (swipe) builds with the CM nightlies now and is up to 6.0.5.0.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Vorsplummi:
Updated to PA 4.44 via OTA-app and Chrome was gone. Should one flash gapps again when updating or why did this happen? Not a big problem though.

Please note that if your device does NOT have sufficient memory to do a full backup, you'll still have problems. That's actually what the script changes were meant to fix.

PA GApps Update Announcement

PA GAPPS - JULY 23 UPDATE

JULY 23, 2014 - 20140723

Google Play Store updated to v4.9.13 [Stock/Full/Mini/Micro]

Reverted addon.d Backup and Restore script changes made in July 20 build until they can be tested more fully [Stock/Full/Mini/Micro]

Added Google Play services v5.0.84 (1259630-030) as the default Google Play Service in all GApps packges [Stock/Full/Mini/Micro]

- This should help users who are NOT using PlayServices/Games Updater with FC's on clean installs

- You will still receive a silent update (from Google) to the proper version for your device (if needed)

- Use of the PlayServices/Games Updater is still HIGHLY recommended with all GApps installs - especially a Clean install

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini (i8190) with CM11 ROM (Android 4.4.4). Phone is rooted, using Dalvik runtime.

On my phone, I've installed the Gapps release 20140720 with add-ons Playstore/Camera/Keyoboard/Chrome beta/Remover. It looks like installation works without interruptions or errors.

** Since a few weeks, I have some issues with Google Keyboard. After clean install of ROM + latest Gapps, all of a sudden Google Keyboard disappears from my system. It looks like it randomly uninstalls and forces my phone to reboot. It happened with Google Keyboard as provided in this Gapps release, and also with Google Keyboard L-edition. Current version 3.1.20003.1236599 (LatinImeGoogle.apk installed as system app)

I use Xposed modules, but during trouble shooting, I experienced the same problem with XPosed UNinstalled.

I could provide you with a Syslog logcat (or how is it called?), but I'm not Savvy enough to make conclusions myself out of those logs. In case you want this, please advice on what moment I should make such a Syslog.

** Since about two months, setting my wallpaper returns into reboots. After a clean install, I can set my wallpaper with Gallery or Google Photo. But after on or two days, 'something' (Photos?/Gallery?) runs my device into a crash, and after reboot, wallpaper is gone and replaced by something default. After this point, every time I try to set my wallpaper with Google Photo or Google Gallery, my device crashes, performs a soft reboot, crashes again and performs a full reboot. Most of the time, I can't set my wallpaper to the one I want. Restoring a backup for my wallpaper returns in the same reboots.

Anyone who can help me with this issue?

If an g app is updated via the play store, I assume it goes to user data and the system app remains (hence we have the option to uninstall updates). So what happens to that user app if we later flash a new g apps package with the same apk (or newer version)? Does the previously installed user version get removed somehow, or does it waste storage?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Amro90:
Your assumption is correct. After flashging a new GApps pacakge, the app in user data gets removed so it doesn't waste any excess space.
