It's to the point where some devices don't have enough space to flash the stock package. May just be the ROM I'm running on my GNex currently, but it tells me in recovery that I don't have enough internal space to flash the stock package, flashed without a problem on OmniMetal though. I had to flash a smaller package and then the chrome and keyboard add-ons after.

That I don't know. I never really flashed nightlies like that, and when I did, I just went through my whole set up process each time.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
Why don't you just refrain from opening the app? Or if it really bothers you that it's still there then disable it in Settings or freeze it in Titanium Backup. Doing so will survive flashing. If that's not good enough then write a script to delete it and flash the script when you flash your nightlies, or modify something you already flash to delete it.

bittorrent download option

Is there a bittorrent downloading option for PA gapps? If not, I'm suggesting it.

With something updated so frequently, it would need new seeders with every update. It seems impractical to me. He can just upload and shut down his computer and be done.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Maphack:
Given the amount of downloads... Seems like it wouldn't be a problem to me..

Edit: a lack of peers, that is.

Edit 2: my response assumes that some benefit would be realized from changing to torrents... Server hosting costs...etc.. But yeah, it would create extra work for the initial uploader.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] KaiZ51:
Just thought I'd stop by to mention that the current PA GAPPs may be bugged. I was trying to update to CM11 M4 with the most recent GAPPSs on my Galaxy Nexus, and it kept failing with the insufficient storage space error on TWRP.

I had to use an older version of PA GAPPS, the ones released on the 7th of February (which were the ones I was running before) to be able to get them running.

The error happened with both the Stock and Mini Modular PA GAPPs.

Dialer

Just a question to satisfy my curiosity: Why does the dialer addon work only after you've run the phone in normal mode at least once? What is missing that makes it force-close if you flash it on a fresh install prior to running the stock dialer?

Also, why does it break CM's APN settings menu?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dshoe:
After doing a bit of testing and researching and have finally given up. When using either the AOSP or Google keyboard, with micro, mini, and full gapps, I get a lot of force closes with speech to text and even hot reboots. I'm using the latest Omni ROM nightly, and this has been going on for weeks. I'll try and get a logcat tomorrow, but this is happening on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2013).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
Did you notice that the newer Gapps packages are larger? Therefore it makes sense that there's enough room for the older packages and not the newer ones. Nothing anyone can do really, Google keeps making the apps bigger. TKruzze mentioned me might have the script automatically exclude one or two of the largest apps if the user doesn't have enough space, but in the mean time you'll just have to use one of the smaller packages.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ermacwins:
Is it possible for me to download the mini package but delete the google now launcher? It will still flash fine?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] likeastar20:
Can someone help me with "To use this feature, place a file in /sdcard/ called '.gapps-stock'. Inside the file, type the name of the Stock/AOSP app(s) you wish to keep during installation". I dont find " /sdcard/...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] KaiZ51:
Yes I did, but it's only about 10MB of difference since the last PA GAPPs I used.

However, I don't believe that is truly the issue here. Because like I said, I also tried using the Mini Modular package and it also gave me the same error, and that package is much smaller.

Otherwise, I would obviously understand there simply wasn't enough space on the phone.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
The package checks internal space in system against what the package was built to install. So it won't take into account that you deleted them. If you really want to try it, disable the line in the updater-script that runs install-prep.sh. That will kill the process that checks for system available vs installing apps. Do this at your own risk though. May overload the system. Won't brick but ROM may not boot

I've made a minimal GApps package based on the PA GApps micro. It only needs 35+2MB free space on the system partition.

I've removed all Play Store apps except Google Calendar. (I can't get calendar sync work without it.)

Removed the files needed for offline speech recognition in Google Search and the News & Weather Widget.

I've made a separate module for Google Search. But whit this module, I only have 5MB free space left on /system.

Is there a way to get 'OK Google' feature working? Can I place the offline speech recognition files to somewhere else?

(also I don't have the option to download these files in the Google Search app)

I'm thinking of place the offline speech recognition files to the /cust partition then symlink it to the /system partition. It can work?

If so, I can save the link with the addon.d script somehow?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jaladhjin:
anybody think I'll have a bad time if I remove Chrome from the stock package after it's installed ?

I use Chrome Beta so.. having both looks ridiculous ;) haha
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
Better solution;

Open chrome

Open your recent apps list (usually hold your home button)

Tap and hold the chrome window

Tap app info

Tap disable

Profit?

This leaves chrome on your system but it won't show up anywhere like when you're asked which browser to use. This is a better solution because when you update gapps or your ROM you won't have to uninstall chrome every time. It'll stay disabled even through updates.

Same method applies for any system app or and other Google app in these packs.

By example I disable the "news & weather" app and the stock email app and Apollo (stock music app in CyanogenMod) because **** those apps. And I can update my ROM or the gapps package anytime without having to modify the zips or manually uninstall stuff all the time.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jaladhjin:
if I did delete it with a root explorer would it be a problem ? Or just more of a pain than some folks want to deal with ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
Shouldn't actually be a problem, but it's more work for you if you update your gapps or ROM often.

The only decent reason ( benefit) to remove (vs disable) is saving space on /system but that's usually not necessary if you're installing the stock package anyway.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
Just create a list of needed apps in TB, exclude that list list and batch remove every package except your list. After every nightly of OmniROM I batch remove 24 packages I don't need (apollo, all the live wallpapers, launcher and so on). Never had a problem with this.

I know that I can put these apks into config file so they get deleted after flashing new nightly automatically but i prefer doing it manually (semi automatically actually)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
nope. just a FC fiesta... i might revert to an older build of CM11 then. lol

Okay... So I made a clean flash and flashed my built ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50999889&postcount=696

with latest FULL MODULAR PACKAGE GApps package (0307), everyhting worked fine... but after wiping cache and dalvik cache and flashing newer version of my ROM (test version 5.0.2) without flashing GApps.. It booted fine, but android.process.phone has stopped working.

This is really annoying when I have to make many times a clean flash to fix that issue.

Maybe I did something wrong? or what..?

I haven't installed any addon packages, just that one Gapps package and my built ROM.

also is there any way to delete easily Videos.apk, Wallet.apk, Chrome.apk, Magazines.apk? (because If I edit the files, I get error 7 from teh recovery, I do something wrong...) As those Google Play apps are blocked here and Chrome can be downloaded from Play store and Galaxy Nexus's System partition size is something 680 Mb and CM even barely fits with the stock KK GApps package. :D

Anyway... Thanks! and great work PA Devs.. :))
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] @wells:
for the first question I have no idea, like addon.d backuped old dialer or something. try clearing dialer app data.

for the second question, try deleting those apks directly from zip file without unzipping and zipping back, should work as far as I know. package is signed so that's why you get error. maybe delete those cert files in meta inf would help also.

cannot test ATM.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
A lot of people (including me) have had the problem with android.process.phone. AFAIK, the issue only occurs on ROMs that have been built using the CM code-base. CM added support for dual-SIMs, and this created the issue. In my personal case, I realized that the problem was caused by my use of the Mpokang kernel, which has a ramdisk incompatibility with the changes made by CM. I switched to the Franco kernel (cwm-franco.Kernel-tuna-nightly-r396-AnyKernel), and everything works fine again. I'm using a CM nightly (cm-11-20140309-NIGHTLY-maguro), and the PA "Stock" GApps. I did a dirty flash, and only wiped Dalvik and the cache. I'm running ART.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Carlos_Manuel:
I don't know about that.. :confused: As my ROM was based of CM but because of plenty of problems with Gapps and sources + vendor files I got tired and downloaded PA KK sources and now my ROM is based of PA KK and I'm using PA's kernel and kernel shouldn't be the problem causer with GApps.

Only possibility is maybe taht, the GApps script(s) doesn't work correctly with some ROMs..? But I'm not sure at all.. Anyway currently everything is fine after a clean flash.

so I used ES to uninstall Chrome from my Stock apps flash.. due to my using Chrome Beta & not wanting both..

I did it a way I hadn't ever done before.. typically I just delete Chrome with any of a ton of options..

This time however I did it with the ES System App Uninstaller.. & it removed the app itself no problem.. but then said uninstall com.android.chrome unsuccessful..

Here's what it looks like as a file in my /system

Does it still remain because I have Chrome Beta installed ?

I'm aware the easy answer is yes.. makes sense.. just like certainty ;)

ADD-ON MODULES

Addon modules can be installed on top of most any GApps package, including the Mini, Micro, or Full packages above.

All addon modules also include addon.d backup support, meaning their functionality will be restored after flashing a ROM update.

Thanks for the warning however it broke my Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000. First immediately message appeared message not working, etcetera, after installing an original dialer my signal didn't show op and going to settings meant an immediate settings stopped working message and now after a new install I still can't get to the settings to activate my phone as any attempt there to search a network for my phone is prompted with the settings not working message. How can I completely undo this Dialer addon? I am using the latest KitKat CM11 Snapshot 11-20140308

You need to backup you phone in CWM or TWRP, factory reset and reinstall your Rom of choice I believe and then use GAPPS without dialer.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Thanks for posting the log, it really does give a clearer picture of what's happening rather than simply posting "it failed". However, based on what's showing, your device is about 8MB short of required space available in your system partition. For some reason, the Galaxy Nexus has a small system partition (Google's issue). Even my much older HTC Sensation has a system partition that's over 200MB larger.

The only real option at this point is to switch to a smaller GApps package (see FAQ #6) and then try reflashing.

Nope, and going forward it won't be available at all.

I like my method best because you actually wipe the system partition and begins the flashing process with a clean slate. Deleting the addon.d files may also work, but be careful if you don't know what you're doing.

Due to the increasing number of posts about GoogleDialer issues, I will be removing the addon completely and asking that all posts regarding GoogleDialer issues find a new forum for discussion.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I can assure you that PA GApps are not "bugged". There have been over 1,000,000 downloads of these GApps packages since I added the new memory detection system in late January and not a single error has been found to this point.

I do find it very strange that your device would not install the Mini GApps without issue, but since you did not provide a copy of the pa_gapps.txt, I would have no way to verify what happened or suggest a solution.

That 10MB is what's causing the issue and if you would check or share your pa_gapps.txt, I'm sure the facts would bear that out.

Try the '.gapps-stock' file located in the zip below. You can find /sdcard/ by locating your pa_gapps.txt from a previous GApps install or try placing it in '/data/media/0'.

View attachment StockGappsMod.zip

The attached example will skip the removal of your MMS app and Stock/AOSP browser.

The next update of Google Stock GApps will bypass the installation of Chrome Browser (and the removal of the Stock/AOSP browser) if there is not sufficient space available to install without it.

Hard to say. Which browser are you referring to? What GApps package did you install? All of my GApps packages (except Google Stock) include the Google Chrome Browser sync adapter (ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk).

That's true, but it's about as far from AOSP as any app ever written. Last I checked, it was over 40MB in size, compared to around 15MB, even for Google's Play Store version.

Unless you installed the GoogleDialer Addon, PA GApps could/would have NOTHING whatsoever to do with your phone FC'ing. This is definitely ROM related, not GApps related.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
I understand, of course, why you would do this. As a GNex owner, I realize I might have space issues at some point in the future. I have no interest in the stock browser, however. I therefore request a switch in the controlling text file that would allow me to disable installing the stock browser as an alternative to Chrome (and that would work even if Chrome is not installed). This will save me the trouble of deleting the stock browser .apk later (when I install Chrome from the Play Store).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
I've gotta say, I'm pretty bummed you're taking down Google Dialer but I totally understand you not wanting to deal with the foolishness being blamed on it by people who willfully or ignorantly refuse to read the OP or follow the correct procedure.

It likely won't make you reconsider, but for whatever it's worth, the higher volume of Phone FCs lately is almost certainly due to CM-based (and those who kang their features) bringing back Multi-SIM support; if someone then uses a custom kernel that doesn't have the MSIM jar in the BOOTCLASSPATH of the init .rc files it just FCs forever. This is regardless of whether Google Dialer is installed or not.

perhaps u can put it in a totally separate download with a big red disclaimer about multisim since ppl like me actually reverted back to an old build just so we can continue using the dialer. just a suggestion.

The stock browser actually comes with your ROM and is installed before the GApps package installer has even started. Therefore, it's impossible to 'disable installing the stock browser' as it's already there. The reason I won't remove it if Chrome is not installed is because I would never want to leave a user without a browser installed on their device.

The recent CM changes are actually what forced me into this decision. Between the confusion of those who refused to ignore the warnings on the GoogleDialer Addon and others asking about phone FC issues, I thought it best to completely remove the one single thing that could possibly have anything to do with the phone. With the removal of GoogleDialer as a source of the the phone FC problem, I'm hoping the problems will now be properly redirected back to CM. It's a fantasy I have, anyway.:laugh:
