I got stock package and I can't delete google keyboard, titanium backup says (failed to locate the apk file). Anyone knows how to do it? The reason for deleting because it want to install themed google keyboard.

I always install the full stock gapps and I've encountered "unfortunately, bla bla has stopped working" in some custom roms except cm11. Is it because of the rom or this? I always download the latest.

Hmm, on mahdi 0805, as far as I can remember, gmail, hangouts, settings and process. While on purity plus, documents, and a whole lot more. Now on mahdi 0812, encountered gmail twice.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] swat4samp:
Thats weird. I always flash mini gapps package and everything works normal. Try to flash mini package and check once. Better to clean flash a rom and then flash gapps immediately.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] donnabelmartie:
Okay, will try. Yes, that's what I'm doing. Also, always on clean flash. :)

I use micro gapps btw not mini. So, try micro first. You may miss maps, youtube, hangouts, plus but you can download and install them normally.

When I reinstall GOOGLE STOCK GAPP, before install zip, to preserve from removal the SMS stock APP i can create file named .gapps-stock and type inside "mms" string?

Thanks a lot!!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
yes. put file into /sdcard/ folder.

best to create the file in Android. if you create in Windows you may get a .txt extension on the file which will not work.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
You have to wipe your system partition, reflash your rom and reflash gapps.

Just reflashing gapps after adding the proper settings to the gapps-stock file won't help because your mms app is already removed at this point

PA GApps Update Announcement

PA GAPPS - AUGUST 18 UPDATE

AUGUST 18, 2014 - 20140818

Google Search updated to v3.6.14.1337016.arm [Stock/Full/Mini/Micro]

Google Drive updated to v2.0.222.51 [Stock/Full]

YouTube updated to v5.9.3.8 [Stock/Full/Mini]

Chrome Beta updated to v37.0.2062.76 [Chrome Beta Addon]

Chrome Browser updated to v36.0.1985.135 [Stock/Full/Chrome Addon]

Although Google+ has been updated to v4.5.0.72928916, it is not included in this update due to library incompatibilities with Maps. (Hopefully, Google will fix this in a future update of Maps or G+)

- Google+ update will work fine if you update from the Play Store

Updated GApps Remover - A utility for advanced users who wish to modify/remove GApps from their device or GApps package. SEE HERE for Complete Details

This week ended up being a crazy week for me, so not much progress was made on the new GApps. I'm hoping to find time this week to work on testing and tweaking.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nikki1993:
As a part of positive comments movement ;) take all the time you need to tweak your Gapps. Your Gapps packages have been the best, despite some minor disruptions here and there, but hey we are all humans and make mistakes. So keep up the good work and thanks a lot for sticking with us.

P.S. Just a thought, but what do you think about making a private test group for your Gapps test packages, like hosting a G+ community for that? Maybe a bit more effort but at least you'll avoid unnecessary people to use test Gapps packages as well as making sure you won't release "bad" packages in the production. Some small group of people who is capable of at least, provide the steps to reproduce the problem if any, and attach a log (since it seems not all people can do that :P )

Newbie question

Hi, Before I begin, I just wanted to say thanks to TKruzze, for the awesome job he's been doing out here!

My question: Do I need to reflash the addon modules every time I update gapps? Or does the gapps installer not touch the existing versions of these at all?

Thanks in advance!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Blac Caesar:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION].. I just want to say thanks for all your hard work. I rarely post in here, but that's bc I don't have any issues with your GApps. Just wanted to say thanks n keep it up! ?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
Hello, I think that your Gapps should also delete BrowserProviderProxy.odex and PartnerBookmarksProvider.odex from /system/app and GoogleOneTimeInitializer.odex from /system/priv-app alongside the respective APK files.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ASHURiCAN:
Hi guys,

Every time I update CM with a new nightly, all my gapps are gone. I didn't have this problem before. I think it's maybe a script running at each update. Could you please help me to get rid of it?

Thx.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] maverick_hunter:
Could be that you don't have a backup script. Check system/add.on. I would delete anything there that you haven't placed yourself, then reflash Gapps so the proper script gets put in place.

I just flashed the Carbon 0818 nightly on my GN, over PA GApps Stock 0818 (with some stuff removed with PA GApps Remover so it would all fit) and I can tell you it worked flawlessly. No idea what's going on with you there.. Are you using CM on all 3 devices? Carbon is CM-tree based, but you never know, could be something CM did to screw it up on mainline. Recovery brand and version? When did it start happening? Basic sh*t.

Look in /cache/recovery for the log where you flashed the Delta. pagapps.log is in /sdcard. Follow my link above for the other info I want from you and how to get it.

Wow...I just uninstalled the previous version and re-installed from the Play Store and it started working again. I don't understand how that happens. Maybe it needed the good working data from the previous version for the latest version to work?? I don't know how many times I tried force stopping and clearing data/cache for the latest version and it would still force close.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Testing isn't the problem, really. It's the folks who stop by here just to complain and provide NO INFORMATION for us to even help them. Also, once I release it will be as a beta. I'll then need a wide variety of devices, ROM's and recoveries to put it through its paces. Thanks for the ideas, though.

If you're just updating GApps, the addons will not be touched.

FAQ #5 or it didn't happen.... I can't help you if you won't help me help you. I'm guessing that CM broke something in their latest release because there haven't been any reports of camera issues in quite awhile... until today.

What ROM includes that stuff? That crap should only exist in a stock ROM or a VERY EARLY (9+ months ago) 4.4 GApps package.

<sigh> Again, no information for me to help you... Read FAQ #5. Also on the OnePlus One, the camera will NOT install on it BY DEFAULT. So, either you're using a VERY OLD GApps package or the build.prop in your ROM has been corrupted. (See July 20 Change log for details). Read FAQ #5 if you want further assistance.

FAQ #5.... If you want help. If you're just here to complain, then I'll know for certain if I don't hear back.

Things must be bad if the OP doesn't even want to stop by his own thread any longer...

I truly don't mind problem reports IF I'M GIVEN PROPER INFORMATION to help. Half the complaints here involve lazy people who won't even take the time to tell me what package they flashed or the date of the package. And I'm really not interested in engaging in string of 4-5 messages just to extract the information I'd need to help.

I would like to change my Gallery app version to check if that lack of automatic thumbnails update after deleting or moving files is solved.

Can someone please explain what can I do to manually change my actual Gallery to the Nexus 5 one?

I have a feeling that the Stock Package flash enabled another Gallery version for my Note 3 and if I could change to the Nexus 5 one maybe it can enable the ability of update it's thumbnails content without needing to force media scanning through Developer Options.

Nexus 5 4.4.4 stock ROM. But before you say one should not flash Gapps on a stock ROM I would like to ask why and what could be the possible problems, and say that I can't find any reason to not include those three to the files to delete, except for an ideological one.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
I'll try to field this one.

First, normally, this kind of post is not encouraged, so apologies in advance.

You'll have to wipe dalvik-cache and also clean out all references in /data/data to every single gapps package being replaced by the pa_gapps.

You'll also need to go in and manually remove all the .odex files for all the gapps. [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] can't add them to the removal process because of all the extra overhead, new scripts, new lists of app names, and bugstomping needed to add the concept of flashing current gapps over a stock ROM. There is no easy way to make a patcher to do this which will work across many device's stock ROMs without tons of free time and motivation. No incentive to do that with something that's made specifically for built ROMs... especially since there are already gapps in the stock ROMs.

Any other lingering files relating to the existing gapps in your ROM which /aren't/ listed in the scripts used by pa_gapps to install, you'll also have to manually remove. Including gapps apks with different filenames than the ones in the pa_gapps that still share the same package names (com.google.blah.blah.blah)

Even then it may not work right. These gapps just aren't made to flash over stock. And it's unlikely you can find anyone who packages gapps who will even try to make a flashable that is compatible with stock ROMs.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
you could manually copy the N5 apk & lib files from the /gallery directory in the GApps zip

i think dirty flashing the GApps should be OK. it will overwrite the old files with the versions you select in the forcegallery option

also, you can see what version was installed during the last flash in the pa_gapps.log file.

install.gallery=true
gallery.device=deb
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Trotto@81:
UP!! :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
The reason I discussed the problem before [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] replied is because I think that remove ODEX files when removing APK files is a good practice. I know that flashing over stock ROM is not supported, but I will continue to do it because I have never had a problem and I will not complain if something goes wrong. I know for sure that removing those files is a question of literally one minute because you only have to add them to the list of files to delete. I know that supporting different ROMs and devices is difficult, but I'm not saying he should support stock ROMs, but simply delete those files too. No overhead, no new scripts and no packages with the same package name (because Gapps APK names are based on stock ones and because the script checks for a lot of common variations).

Also other ODEX files are removed because they were included in old Gapps packages, so I don't think it's a big deal.

So please do not reply instead of the OP, but sorry if my terms has been too rude.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dan1234567890:
I have been using TKruzze PA gapps on stock rom on N4 for more than a year, and beside minor problems with first flash, and without removing odex files, I didn't encounter any problems that I'm aware of...and I noticed a quite few people around this thread do that as well.

Reasons for doing this are the same as flashing those on custom roms (I see some questions "why would you do this"), no difference what so ever... [emoji106] [emoji1]

I noticed TKruzze didn't encourage flashing on stock Rom, but when I had questions, he replied, and I didn't felt "unsupported".

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] viniciusrsouza:
Thanks, but not there. Maybe it's because I flashed it about more than a week ago...

I will wait for the Temasek V125 and will flash Paranoid GApps again forcing Nexus 5 Gallery (just like the Banks one) to check if if solves the thumbnails update issue.

Just to inform, the issue is about thumbnails not being removed after deleting or moving pictures and videos unless rebooting device. A forced media scan through Developer Options is a workaround sometimes.

Restore a backup if you have one, or re-flash. You make it sound like "flashing everything again" is a huge process. You don't need a clean flash. Could have been done in the time it took you to post.

Gapps remover BMM

Hi, could anyone help me with the usage of gapps remove within Boot Menu Manager?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] lemonfugu:
What are you saying? Sorry I don't understand your dilemma
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sweetsuicide:
Boot Menu Manager is a boot manager that allows you to install different roms on different partitions. I am trying to customize my google experience on a rom that's installed on mountpoints that are different from the root ones. For some strange reason, I am able to install the modular gapps in my CM11, but when I try to further refine the installation, the gapps remover fails. I suspect that this is due to some hardcoded paths in the code. Previously, Mentor.37 created a patch for the CM11 install itself, allowing for its installation.
