A few minutes ago the camera update came to my phone, in spite of the update was released yesterday.

I have a super ultra mega noob question.

Does this GAPPS works on Cyanogen rom? i know the title says "all rom's" but i prefer ask before doing something wrong.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] :
The answer is yes, it's for all ROMs that don't come with pre-packaged g-apps which CyanogenMod falls under.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] a3361035:
So is claytonjn's behaviour a bug in CM11M6 (but there's no jira bugreport) and on other ROMs installing the Google Camera Addon Module will show the Google Camera as installed in the Play Store?

What I don't have all this features like Panorama and Photo Sphere in Camera app? I have a Moto G GPE with CM11 installed, what is missing?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JekaPinsk:
Please, read desrcription on the Play Store page
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] reynierpm:
Yes, you're right this feature isn't available in Moto G due to sensor, I get CM NextCamera which support this features and don't know how!

Hi, a quick question. Now that there is the option to flash Chrome Beta in place of Chrome in the system partition, is it best to delete an existing CB (which would be on /data) before flashing? Or will Android automatically deal with the dual copies of the apk?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] K0rgar:
Android will detect which one is the newest between system and data partition and will delete accordingly, so the answer is yes.

I have a problem with the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE's Advanced Features and Options on 20140531 for my Nexus 5. Everytime i try to install the Gapps package i can't stop the removal of Stock/AOSP Launcher on CM 11. I did everything explained on Post #4; created a ".gapps-stock" and typed "launcher" within it and everything and still every time the Gapps package would still remove it.

Device-specific apps support

Is it possible to support pack to flash device specific apps after gapps?

I think that most of devices uses 036 or 038 version and most of users on xda know which one they need to flash.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
A few things to clear out please.

1) AFAIK if I need to switch package I need to actually reflash ROM etc. (!) as FAQ says?

2) Is remover included in the package(s) yet?

3) If I have an older GApps, but have normally updated a few times through Google Play (which means system now runs the versions in data partition), what happens if I flash a latest GApps? Will system properly link to the fresh versions in system partition? What happens to the versions in data partition? Will they remain as garbage? (or until an even newer Google Play update reuses the locations?)

Thank you.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mangusZen:
yes, it's not clear if the remover is included in all gapps packages (I use micro) or standalone flashable zip. In this case I truly can't download

the zip from post #8 no matter what, browser or tapatalk....out of connection or page not available..:confused::confused::confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] vanwoudt:
Read post #8. It's a stand alone utility. I have no problems downloading it using a browser.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Gu$houn*:
1) don't know, but I think it depends on your situation

2) no /just read the op/

3) new ones go to /system, old ones from /data are automatically deleted by android

no offence, but it's really funny see your questions in combination with your signature :good:

P.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mangusZen:
I understand how it works , remains the strange fact that I can't download it via mobile or PC , very strange.(using chrome)

Can someone provide a mirror?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You probably don't have the correct location for /sdcard. Please read FAQ #3 for help in locating.

I take it you're referring to the PA OTA app? The problem seems to lie in the app. You can always verify the MD5 using any of the links in this thread.

It's possible... However, I don't really have the time to devote to it right now.

All three questions are in the FAQ. 1) as FAQ says - YES - you do need to reflash ROM after you've wiped it from your system..... 2) Read the GApps Remover post (#8) on the OP. First sentence answers your question..... 3) Read FAQ #10

The first sentence in the GApps Remover pos is "While the long term plan is to integrate integrate this functionality into the GApps installers, it will, for now, remain a stand alone utility."

The zip file has been downloaded over a thousand times with no problems. Tapatalk does NOT properly handle XDA links. Open the post in a browser and then click on the link. I just tested and it works fine for me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
Thanks guys.

Yes I endorse "search" of course.

But:

For #1: I wasn't sure the OP was updated in this respect. (sometimes old restrictions remain in the notes when they don't apply any more).

For #2: Indeed I didn't go as deep as post #8 (wow you did really extensive post reservation).

For #3: I didn't think it was mentioned in the FAQ, missed it.

Thanks again. All clear now.

To help you to find what phone have what version you could create new threads with the name of the version and every person could put the name of their phone on the correct thread one week or two later we could see what Google use to decide :)

Each version is for different DPI. Play Games are updated very rarely and Play services maybe twice a month... Play services updates immediately after flashing gapps pack, so it's annoing for users with slow connection and it may be expensive if you don't have wi-fi.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] a3361035:
Google Camera from the old Google Camera Addon Module shows as not installed in the Play Store and still didn't update from 2.1 to 2.2. Though Play Store does show me 2.2 as latest version since more than a day.

We already know:

Where does it not hold true besides people that changed their dpi settings?

Anyway if it's just an additional zip, one can just look up which version one currently has and choose accordingly.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] marekracak:
No problem if you change DPI. Everiting works well.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UtkarshGupta:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]

How about this workflow ?

A single gapps package.

A single aroma zip or an app in which user will be choose all the packages he needs.

Then the zip/app writes config to a file.

Then user flashes the gapps package which will pick configuration from the file and install required components.

This way there will be a single package to maintain + a single file + very less confusion + ease of use.

Only problem is that this will be difficult to setup.

Reading file for every package + saving configuration will be a pain in the ass I know.

I have some experience with edify/aroma/java if you wanna collaborate/need-testing.

If interested, pm me :)

[Personally I find apps much easier to use, but user will first have to install rom, then install app (via apk, no play store available), then configure, then flash gapps]
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] marekracak:
I tried replacing Play services with libs and Play Games directly in zip and everything worked for me. Docs and Sheets needed for Drive can be also added to Aroma. Also options to select gapps to install can be possible and better than remove it after install. I also can help with testing.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]

I happened to look at my .gapps-stock file, and found 1 instance of MMS and maybe 15 "browser"

Yes, "browser" is appropriate (GNex - Maguro), but 15 times (apparently once for each GApps installation)? I don't code, but I assume that it should be possible to read the file and apply an "if exists" query before adding "browser" yet another time.

Not sure if you are aware of this already, but the folks at SlimROM used to have an Aroma version of their All In One (AIO) GApps package for 4.3 ROMs. They don't seem to have the Aroma version for 4.4 ROMs, but maybe they could provide some assistance.

Yeah but their concept is different.

That way user has to select packages every time he flashes the gapps,

My way he has to configure once.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
TKruzze already said that an aroma installer it's almost impossible because he use a script to find if the gapps fit on the system partition..

he is the only one who have this worry, if you install other gapps with aroma it will install even if it not fit..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UtkarshGupta:
I also said we could use an app instead.

The app can calculate the total size of gapps selected and notify user if he has selected more packages than can fit.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
but if we use an app we couldnt make a clean install with gapps..

we will need to make the first boot and only after this we will could install the app and the gapps and the remover and reboot again.. and clean the dalvik cache and (...)

it's not so simple..

the best way it's make simple, Tkruzze wants in the future put the remover inside of the gapps file and it will be even better...

change everything now it will be much more difficult and he will need to have 2 versions, 1 for ota of AOSPA and one for the other roms with aroma or app and he dont have time... if anyone wants this you could create your own package of gapps and propose to TKruzze because i believe that he have a big problem with the time it's not so simple do this every week and imagine if this will be more difficult..

Sorry [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] for speaking in your name and correct me if i'm wrong, i only wants to help ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UtkarshGupta:
I already recognized that issue in original post.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UnitedOceanic:
I wan't use both the AOSP and Google Keyboards. The reason is that one of the auto complete languages I use is only available with the ASOP Keyboard.

Easiest way I found so far (perhaps someone has even a better solution):

For now I use the Gapps Full Package and the Google camera add-on. With the options to remove "launcher, MMS, browser and pico".

However the Full package doesn't have the Google gallery. So I copy the files (from the Gapps stock package) manually to system and delete the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk.

Please consider my feature request:

* option not to install the Google keyboard (and libs) with the Gapps stock package

Or

* GoogleGalley add-on module and option not to install the ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk with the Gapps Full package

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] a3361035:
Clean wipe solved it completely. After that CM11M6 shows Google Camera as installed in the Play Store.

Before clean wipe:

logcat showed following when installing google camera from the playstore with Google Camera Addon Module:

D/Finsky ( 3005): [208] 1.packageInstalled: Package install status for "com.android.camera2" is 1
W/Finsky ( 3005): [208] 1.packageInstalled: Package name mismatch: ours: com.google.android.GoogleCamera package manager's: com.android.camera2
D/Finsky ( 3005): [1] InstallerTask.cancelCleanup: Cancel running installation of com.google.android.GoogleCamera

And without the Google Camera Addon Module:

W/PackageManager( 483): New package has a different signature: com.android.camera2
D/Finsky ( 1374): [88] 1.packageInstalled: Package install status for "com.google.android.GoogleCamera" is -104

No idea what really caused it, iirc i just updated between CM M-releases (which should be safe to dirty flash, even CMUpater does that) and switched from photosphere to google camera and banks to pa gapps (which should be safe if one wipes /system inbetween).

If someone knows how to clean up that package/signature mismatch, let me know.

Edit:

Renamed package was caused by some strange entry in /data/system/packages.xml

<renamed-package new="com.google.android.GoogleCamera" old="com.android.camera2" />

Removing that fixes it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
I had TiBU break Google Camera when I was restoring because I forgot and unchecked "exclude system apks." It somehow linked it to camera2's data folder. Same with Google Keyboard and AOSP Keyboard. So bizarre. Had to clean flash my ROM again to fix it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
Awesome work, however I think you should include all versions of Play Games and Play Services and install the correct one based on the device's DPI. Also Sheets and Docs should be included. It would be useful to include also HP Print Service that is preinstalled on Nexus 5.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
First off, thanks to everyone for the suggestions and feedback. As [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] leaked a few weeks ago, I've begun work on an completely new GApps package (working title: PA Custom GApps). This will be an entirely Shell Script based installer (no more edify) with all the advantages of an AROMA based installer, plus the memory detection features of our current packages.

While it probably doesn't mean much to most users, the system partition size detection feature is the most valuable part of PA GApps. No other GApps package that I'm aware of will measure your devices available storage and let you know there's not enough space available BEFORE it does anything to your device. Before this feature was introduced, these GApps (and all other currently available GApps packages) would go though the install process and if there was not enough space you'd never know until applications were missing or they weren't operating properly. I still get a kick out of those who stop by to tell me that '"brand x" full GApps package installed fine on my device - yours told me I didn't have enough space.'

Anyway, the package will include most everything people would want in a complete, customizable package - including the latest Google Play Services and PlayGames. For all officially supported AOSPA devices, this will happen automatically, for other devices you'll simply tell the installer which version to install (032, 034, 036, or 038).

The installer will require a SINGLE setup file (.gapps-config ??) that you'll be able to place in the same folder as the zip file or in /sdcard. This means you configure your package ONE TIME and it will install the same way every time. Plus, I've added a new feature that will allow you to change your GApps configuration (add or remove apps) without having to wipe the system partition (as is currently required). The downside of this new package is that it will be close to 300MB, although I may also create smaller versions similar to what we have today.

As to when this will be available, it's hard to say. My time is somewhat limited right now so it may be a month or more, but it could less. My goal (NOT my commitment) is to have this out BEFORE the next Android update likely to come at the end of June.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Noted. The challenge in building these features for memory limited devices like yours is that I don't actually have one to test with.

The new GApps package mentioned in my post above would likely take care of your request. Please note, however, that it's my guess that Google Gallery will disappear when the next version of Android is introduced in a few weeks, which would make this mostly a non-issue (IF I'm correct).

If you had shared the info requested in FAQ #5 we could have answered more specifically, however Micro GApps currently requires about 120MB of available system storage. Post your PA-GApp.log file and we'll tell you if it will work.

Perhaps this is what's confusing you, but 'stock camera' to most of us means the camera that came 'stock' on your device. From the sound of your message it sounds like you're looking for the Google Camera. For that you'll need Google Stock GApps or Google Camera Addon.

Is it possible you extracted the apk from one of our GApps packages and tried to sideload it? That would explain the signature mismatch.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Great idea! Go ahead and code that up for me and I'll add it to the next update. HP Print doesn't meet the 'G' requirement in GApps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
We already determined DPI isn't all there is to it. Search the thread for the week of research I and others put into it. My last idea was the best; use what's already installed to determine the correct one to update to. :good:

The MAN! I might actually take you up on that for him, but with my (better) idea, if that's not what you're doing. ;)

With the space calculation + custom app choices PA will by far be the most versatile package. Pumped to see the big reveal above and can't wait to try it out. Did my package_extract() shell method end up working to avoid unpacking the whole thing? :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ultrarain:
the latest version is GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE ? may 31,2014 .. sorry about asking this but im confuse if whats the latest on the 1st page .. so many link ~_~
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
It took me awhile but I finally figured out an extract method that works. It still needs to go to /tmp, first, but I'm thinking that edify does that, too, behind the scenes. I'll shoot you something to critique later in the week. And, if you're serious about coding the device selection, I'll take you up on that.:eek: However, it will be much easier in Shell since we can use the 'case' statement.

Not sure what you're asking, but all 4 GApps packages were updated on May 31.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Yep. If I use edify at all it'll just be to run shell scripts. :p

I probably won't though, since you're going full shell. This'll give me a reason to test out those 2 zip fixers I hunted down too. ;)

Please PM me your usual commands for signing something so I know I'm on the right track. :)

P.S. Nice new sig! :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] marekracak:
And how about parse build.prop to get DPI?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] a3361035:
I don't use TiBu.

Don't think so. I don't usually use those dirty hacks. My guess would be some crude photosphere addon zip.

I'm curious, isn't the space requirement different between using Dalvik and ART? Some ROMs even have a DexOpt /system to /cache option.

If the next Android version still comes with two runtimes, any thoughts on that?

Like I said, I did read most of them and couldn't find a clear cut case where the explanation couldn't be simply changed DPI settings by ROM/hand.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] arjuna21100:
I do have the same problem
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UtkarshGupta:
I know shell too if you need help.

Seems like our ideas correlate.

Only difference is I was talking about a aroma installer or an app to allow configuration of gapps rather than manually typing in everything user wants/doesn't want.

I don't think 300mb is a very big size, considering you'll download it once a week.

Maybe create two packages - one configurable, another which installs core gapps which any other google app would require (gp services, gp store etc.) & stuff that isn't available in play store.

Also I think only apps that come preinstalled in nexus 5 should be a part of gapps (sans Google Camera). Rest shouldn't be included. (In case you don't already do that).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] marekracak:
For most users of new devices there is no low space problem, so there can be version without free space check...
