The developer has repeated MANY times throughout this thread that, an aroma installer WILL NOT be implemented.

yeah I know that... maybe because it's too easy :D

PA GApps 2.0 BETA 12

Hi TKruzze,

Thanks for the BETA 12 and it's working flawlessly here :) Plus, the *NEW* default behavior for Google Stock GApps is excellent!

While testing my usual GApps configuration, thought of specifying these stock apps to remove despite they are being automatically removed when their Google counterpart is installed - CameraStock and GalleryStock. Everything seems fine, until I notice the Gallery is missing from app drawer. But Google Camera was installed. Yet the log states: Install Google Gallery | true

Don't know if it's something you might wanna look into, but attached respective debug / log files anyway. Installation was perfect when those stock apps weren't specified, explicitly.

UPDATE: Just did a clean install w/ BETA 12 and Gallery is missing again. Strange - the dirty installation was fine earlier. Attached new debug / logs to review :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
I understand your frustration. I was dreading having to use the installer. But after carefully reading multiple times over the course of these last weeks, then creating my own configuration file and giving this a spin, I'm feeling excited. Once you get it, it's fairly straightforward and simple, and I love having all that control!

I'm not an expert, but I'm willing to help and I know many here are as well. And the bottom line is, if you weren't altering the original versions, all you have to do now is write the name of that version in a file you name ".gapps-config" (without quotes) in the place on your phone where you keep your gapps zip. Mine, for instance, says "FullGApps". Then I went on to add the parts I didn't want installed. You should also write "debug" so there will be more help if something goes wrong.

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION], thanks so much for not only doing all the (free ?) work to provide us all these constantly up to date gapps, but for this ingenious new way to install them! [MENTION=1143630]osmosis[/MENTION], and all others that contributed also thank you!

LG G2 VS980
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] vanwoudt:
Here's my include config without the Stock/AOSP removals in the config file. Again a flawless update! I did leave camerastock in the config file, which isn't actually necessary.

PA Gapps Remover

Any can plz help me in removing stock pa apps ...i tried to flash GApps Remover but it gives an error.....

Please help me how to use it also...cant able to get through the post...plz help me or pm me
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Trotto@81:
Exactly, why type in a default option?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] HeD_pE:
No you don't understand because there's no frustration here... I've never said it's difficult for me to use it, I was just pointing some negative points in this new approach, some days ago I explained a user on g+ where and what is a "." file because he created 1 and wasn't able to find it... Lol what I mean is, for me being an advanced computers user and an average programmer it's pretty logical but for that guy in g+ is a pain...

Personally I like this feature better than it was before, I have a modified updater-script with my options and just delete all the files I didn't want to flash from the package, now there's the ability to do that with an external options file :thumbup:

Jus wanted to suggest the ability to put a tag like "CustomGApps" which would let the user choose to include or exclude every single app instead of downgrading from a preset...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
with the new beta package, you can already use gapps-config.txt file...

and you can already select which apps you want to install or exclude...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
You're right, i didn't understand. I thought such a rude and demanding post was from a total newb.

calsync

it's about new gapps beta. if i choose not to install google calendar from gapps and remove stock calendar as well to install google calendar from play store later, i need calsync??? or calsync will be installed when i install calendar from play store? thanks!!!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Cygnust:
Hi guys,

sorry if it's already been posted but with the 15/11 experimental build of CM11 (jfltexx) and 14/11 full gapps, when I installed CM zip some gapps (gmail, location provider ..) were gone while other stayed (maps) and I had to reflash the zip.

Is it due to gapps or faulty script in cm build ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] natabbotts:
I'm getting (relatively infrequently) Google Play Services force closing on ART, on mako with Paranoid Android's 4.4 AOSP build and 14/11 GApps.. Is this a GApps issue? I know GApps were initially the cause of instability.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SweetwaterBurns:
Any plans to include the cloud printing and hp printing app?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] karanrajpal14:
Could you guys please add the Google dialer from the nexus 5 build? The one allows you to search for business contacts from the dialer itself. Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RootTheMachine:
They have already stated that they will have to think about it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LeJolly:
Google Chrome scanned the mini modular zip from mediafire and said that it's malware! Hmm ANY explanations?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SweetwaterBurns:
I'm pretty sure it's the cm install script. My best guess is that the cache partition is full and not all files are getting copied during the install and it just continues without any indication of the error.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] .dan:
I noticed the people and phone app in this package is different from stock image. It lacks the new lookup features. Any plan to add the stock phone app?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
If you had linked the ROM I would have checked it and see where the problem lies. Without viewing the ROM, everything would just be a guess.

Not getting this report from anywhere else and there's been over 100,000 downloads in the past week.

Possibly Cloud Printing, since it meets the requirements on the OP. However, I have a lot of "camera" work to get done first. I will likely be adding Cloud Printing and the Google Dialer in an upcoming release (no ETA).

Yes. They're wrong. It's called a false positive.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LeJolly:
How come the mediafire one gives false positives, but the other one doesn't even though they should be the same files?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You bring up a very good point! I'm noticing a lot of older devices that have 4.4 ports are linking to my GApps. It's quite possible that these devices just don't have the partition memory to handle the Full GApps installation. I am going to look into adding a memory check to the install script.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Because most virus scanners are prejudiced against MediaFire. They are the same. You can verify the checksum for yourself.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LeJolly:
MD5 is broken ;) Anyways sorry for bothering you, I trust you!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MWisBest:
There's nothing stopping you from using SHA-512 or something, and if the signature turns up valid in recovery when you flash it that'll be an extra layer of "security" for you if you're really that concerned.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LeJolly:
I'm just a little paranoid android user (pun intended)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] david279:
If your going to add the Google dialer don't make it were it removes the stock dialer. I'm running cm 11 on my sprint HTC one and Google dialer works but without the stock dialer being present it breaks the actual call functionality.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] alen1901:
why are this kitkat full gapps odexed? i know only odexed gapps work with art but..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
I think you answered your own Q? :)

and the odexed gapps will work with both odex'd & deodex'd ROMs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] alen1901:
yeah i know, but still, i like freedom so i know i can mod/theme any app without a problem :P
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ctakah27:
Stupid question perhaps, but what's the point of having daily gapps updates if one can update or download them from the playstore? I understand that it's nice to flash a fresh pack with a new custom rom, but i keep a stable version from 6 months ago for that, they get updated once you boot anyway... or what am i missing?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] berryman13:
Sorry mate, I didn't mean for it to come off as such. I'm a programmer myself, by the way.

I'm using an LG stock-modded rom, it's not necessary to flash gapps but its not updated like this package is. It wasn't necessary so I just restored a stock image, but my phone had some issues booting. Just don't flash gapps over a non-aosp ROM, update manually.

Again, sorry...really appreciate what you're doing here.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] User_99:
Not needed if you install Google calendar from play store..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] HeD_pE:
Sorry if at any time it looked like I was being rude but that wasn't the case at all... Anyways those kind of assumptions are recursive 'round here from what I've seen, everyone is rude and noob until proven in contrary :banghead:

True but from what I understand, and I got it working that way, you have predefined tags for each package that are the base where you start from and downgrade from that so, if someone wants pico with google camera they have to downgrade from a package with camera and exclude everything else... What I suggest is a custom tag where you declare all apps as included or excluded...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
you can do exactly what you want to do...

the current default package has everything (Google Stock)... you can exclude the apps that you don't want one by one...

or if you add the "include" word somewhere in you config file, you list the apps that you want to be installed... and that's it. 4th point here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=56560109#post56560109

Maybe you mised that one?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Also, this is just the Beta, which is just Stock package to keep it simple; there will actually be separate packages in the future if you wanted to start with Full Modular for example.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ishn90:
thanks for reply!!! installed gapps without calsync and installed calendar too. now it doesn't show any of my calendars in the app and calendar sync option gone [under settings > accounts > google > sync]. should have calsync, maybe? confused.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
Obviously.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ishn90:
thanks for reply!!! one question: to install missing calsync, add it to config file and flash gapps again?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
Try it, but it's better to reflash ROM and gapps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ishn90:
thanks i will

edit: reflashed rom and gapps, still no calendar sync. any suggestions?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] abhiparab23:
Help me

I have install the stock module of pa apps from the first post a week back now i have to uninstall some google apps...

i followed the steps...

1. created a folder name GApps Remover Zip in sdcard

2. created a file as ".gapps-remove" n added name as Music in it.

I also unistalled the update of Google Play Music from my device.

3. copied the zip in the folder.

4.copied the folder in my sdcard

5.install the zip....it showed SUCCESS

But i reboot the phone the app is still there. Why?

I dont want some gapps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MayuraDeSilva:
Make sure,

- both your .gapps-remove and zip files are in the same directory

- installed GApps package release date should match with GApps Remover zip file date
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] abhiparab23:
Thanks bro i got...ty
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] airbeeting:
Every thing Ok.

Debug + Nano in .gapps-config.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MayuraDeSilva:
Probably you will have to wipe System partition from recovery prior to flash ROM and GApps again. If it fails, try Factory Reset or wipe Data partition from recovery and flash again.

PS: Hope you have a backup of your data.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ishn90:
wiping system worked. thank you!!!.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I've never used MultiROM, but if there's a way to detect it (in recovery), then I'd be willing to add support for it. However, someone would have to get me all the details and test it, since I don't plan on using MultiROM.

Whew! I didn't think there would be conflicts if they were installed in /data.

The audience I intended for customization IS experienced users. I've already created and maintain 6 packages and addon modules for the inexperienced user. I also realize that 75% of the users of these GApps, use them as is, with no customization. However, if you're an experienced user, I also give you these additional options.

Thanks for the report! In reviewing your logs, I realized that I have not been handling Google Gallery properly for the Galaxy Nexus (tuna). I will fix the issue in the next beta (later tonight) and would appreciate it if you could try it again and confirm it's working properly. Thanks, again!

I realize you've solved your issue, but Google Calender Sync (CalSync) is NOT require for Google Calendar. It's only required for the AOSP (or other non-Google) calendar(s).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] HeD_pE:
Ok that's it thanks mate, in fact I didn't understand so well that include part, being that way my suggestion really is useless :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MayuraDeSilva:
No problem, TKruzze :) Glad I could help. I'll try the next release w/ a clean flash again and let you know. If it works fine, I may never touch the old GApps again.

After reading Ishn90's query about CalSync, I've noticed there's no Calendar Storage (CalendarProvider.apk) present in mine after flashing GApps BETA. Used to have it on Paranoid Android with older GApps even after the removal of Calendar (using GApps Remover) and installing Google Calendar from Play Store. Not sure if it matters at all.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Yep. Another good catch. I had not considered that someone might actually remove the Stock Calenda and NOT install the Google calendar. The way it is now, if someone does that, they'll be left with no Calendar Storage app (CalendarProvider.apk).

Going forward, I'm not going to remove CalendarProvider.apk when the Stock Calendar is removed. I'm just going to let the Google Calendar overwrite it with the Google version if the Google Calendar is being installed. Look for this, also, in Beta 14, coming shortly.

Thanks, again, for the great feedback!

PA GApps Beta 14 Now Available

PA GAPPS 2.0 - BETA 14 Now Available

NOVEMBER 10, 2014 - 20141110

I have just posted Beta 14 of the new GApps packages. I fixed a bug that prevented Google Gallery from properly installing on Galaxy Nexus devices. Also, the installer will no longer leave you with no Calendar Storage app (CalendarProvider.apk) if you don't install Google Calendar and also remove the Stock Calendar. I also made a few changes to the log files (better readability), and tweaked the progress bars a bit.

We should be nearing the end of fixes and tweaks, but please continue to ask questions and share your logs if anything doesn't make sense. I'll also be doing at least one more update of the old GApps, likely tomorrow morning.

You can find all the information on the new GApps at the links below:

Hello all,

I have updated my GMAIL app to 5.0 (1569867) since 5.0 you can use a exchange account to in your GMAIL.

But when i want to add a new account to put a exchange account there is no option for that.

Only imap/pop3 but that is not Exchange, who can help me out here...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Kirpman:
That is because you have to also install Exchange Services. then you will get the option to add exchange account.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] djbosanac:
I have tried that now, but when i want to add a exchange account still the same 2 options i can use and not 3.

Uhm i am using ZTE Nubia z7 Mini maybe the phone doesent support it? But it is android so it have nothing to do with the phone right???

Everything is perfect here on GNex w/ BETA 14, TKruzze :) Google Gallery is installed and I can see Calendar Storage listed in All Apps even after the removal of AOSP Calendar as well. Attached the debug / log in case if you need to have a look.

BETA 14 successful update!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] retired_mnbooze:
Beta 14 works here
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I've sent a mesage to their support team to see when these will be restored. If it's not going to be soon, I'll add checksum files on my own.

Your only option is to install Google Camera from the Play Store. Then, you can have both. Installing both cameras in the system partition causes problems on many/most devices.

The most recent version of Google Exchange Services that Google has released for KitKat is from the 4.4.4 Nexus Factory Images: Attached Here >> View attachment 3008425 <<

Since I have no use, personally, for Exchange Services, I have no way to test this, however if it can be confirmed that this will add the necessary support to Gmail 5.0, I'm willing to add it to these GApps packages. Again, what I need is someone to test that the file above will add the necessary support for Gmail 5.0 to be able to work with Exchange Accounts.

Since I refuse to even download anything from Mega, you'll never see me use it for uploads, either.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sabcpj:
Beta14 successfully installed.

And if it's allowed, i want to make feature request here.

Allow removal of EmailStock & ExchangeStock even when EmailGoogle is not installed. Maybe with Override protection.

Unbundle ExchangeGoogle from EmailGoogle, and make them separate options. Currently I use ExchangeGoogle from playstore with Gmail, and I don't want to keep other email apps installed.

Maybe this one need more investigation, but would you reconsider to allow installing ExchangeGoogle + GMail combination in dirty install?

Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
I am sorry if this has been answered before, but how long is the beta cycle expected to be?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
until all the bugs are fixed?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
Can I ask you why you don't trust Mega?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] fubo73:
I have 6.5-1520254-500064 installed and can confirm it works, as per screenshot.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
Ah very funny.

Now that we laughed and although indeed to go out of beta cycle you need to have squashed most serious bugs:

1) ALL bugs are never solved. "Most" is a better word.

2) There is usually a roadmap to follow. Even if bugs make you miss deadlines, there still is usually a roadmap. Beta cycle until about that date, RC until about that date and release about some other date.

So again: Does anybody have a rough estimate when we expect to leave beta cycle?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] pdario:
I maybe wrong, but I don't think there's a development indutry behind these packages...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Did you try the things I asked a couple of days ago? It's definitely installed on your device. We just need to figure out why it's not showing up for you.

1) You can do that now. It's what I do myself. 2) I don't see a reason to unbundle them, however.... 3) this is pretty much what I asked in the post above yours. If this can be confirmed, I'll add a way to make it work.

As soon as I'm confident all the kinks have been worked out. I'm shooting for next weekend, but the final betas will determine that.

I had several bad experiences awhile back. Don't remember all the details except I spent several hours cleaning up the mess it made with my browser.
