Most every GApps package (including mine) were never intended for updating factory (stock) ROM's. That said, since my GApps packages use Google's naming scheme for all applications, they should work okay for updating a Google Nexus device that's running Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) found on this page. However, it hasn't been extensively tested, so you should do a nandroid before flashing.

The easiest method would be to remove the \optional\photosphere folder (leaving \optional\face). Then, remove lines 35 - {end of script} from install-optional.sh.

This will reduce the size of the install by 76MB while only removing the Photosphere Camera installer, which doesn't matter with your device, anyway.

EDIT: I might actually do something similar via scripting with the next update. The script currently extracts everything and then checks whether you have a supported Nexus device. I'll make it so it checks for a supported Nexus device and ONLY THEN extracts the Photosphere support files.

Just chiming in, I'm running your Gapps package on my Nook HD+ running CM11 and its running as smooth as ever. Thanks for putting these packages together for us.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dan1234567890:
Thx for quick reply! Im trying to give up custom ROMs and running exposed framework with Gravity module, so I'm on rooted stock 4.4.2 (ota on my nexus 7 and flashed factory ROM on my nexus 4).

So I can inform you that flashing 15.12. and 30.12. Google stock package causes bootloop on both devices on the same spot. It just hangs after building cache with message "starting apps".

Since I used your gapps for months on custom ROMs, I know what great work you do, so thank you for that! :highfive::good:

Does mini modular package supports ART? Seems that it doesn't work on the ROM i'm using [ROM][KK][4.4.2][KOT49H] CyanogenMod 11.0 (20140101-UNOFFICIAL). Salam
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drguild:
Own a Nexus 10, I installed the rom first the full modular then the stock once I found that released, everything is installed except the camera and gallery, they aren't in the menu, looked in the zip there in optional directory with a install-optional.sh file do I need to install these 2 things manually via the script? cause they didn't auto install in TWRP for me.

Yes it does. Worked fine when I first tried it on CM 11.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _Raziel666:
It has been said numerous times by TKruzze that there's a problem with Nexus 10 (manta) and the Google Camera/Gallery apps.

Basically, they are installed in /system/app (if you check you'll see them there), the script removes the AOSP Camera / Gallery apps and you end up with no Camera / Gallery apps. Of course this is easily fixed by editing the GApps script or by installing the AOSP Camera / Gallery apps manually.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dan1234567890:
I hope this is not OT, since you said this is not intended for stock ROM, but I have new info.

Since you said that it "should" work with stock ROM I decided to put some more time in trying to boot the package.

Than I changed to modular mini, flashed it, wiped caches and it booted up without any problem!

I think it could be something with GEL, since Google stock package replaces GEL, and mini leaves original launcher and GEL for user to choose.

After it booted, I chose GEL, rebooted to recovery, flashed Google stock package, cleared caches and it booted also! On my both nexus 4 & 7!

So it has to be something with GEL imo. ?

To conclude, if someone wants to flash Google stock package on stock 4.4.2 rooted ROM, (so you can use GEL, among other PA Gapps benefits, instead of stock 4.4.2 launcher) he should follow this steps and it should work fine. ?:thumbup:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
Ok I can confirm the problem seems to be the space.

I tested on the same nexus s the CM11 + Full Modular and CM11 + Mini Modular

Both gives no issues on Launcher/Google Search, it works fine (actually, it asks for default launcher on first boot but this is correct since the package doesn't replace aosp's one)

As a side note, Full Modular gives a crash on Google+ since the first boot (I had to remove it and reinstall from PlayStore)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SafinWasi:
After first boot, I log into CM account, log into Google account and choose Launcher as default. Then, if I open Google search, it loads for a while and opens the search bar. No Google now.

Anyone know how to change my keyboard so that it has softkeys under the alphabet. E.g under m there was a ? And @ under a etc.

I really miss this feature and have tried various gapps. Is this not available on 4.4.2?

I was using pacman ROM with pa gapps for 4.3 and currently using pa gapps. Any idea gents?

Thanks for this post it was much needed :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] abdel12345:
Isn't the latest version supposed to keep aosp keyboard and aosp launcher along c with the Google ones? I thought I saw that somewhere but for me it replaced them anyways on OmniROM. Also in the op it still says that it will replace them so am I just mistaken about it?

Please press the thanks button if I help you.

PhotoSphere - Separate Addon

I'm very close to removing the ENTIRE camera portion from the GApps package and making it a separate addon. This would have several benefits including reducing the GApps package size by 60-75MB. It would also allow CM users to use this GApps package without having to be concerned with camera incompatibilities.

I would then make a separate PhotoSphere Addon that would install the camera and gallery for those with Nexus devices who want the Photosphere camera. I'd also add the Grouper and Tilapia Gallery into this new package.

This addon would have addon.d support meaning that it would automatically backup and restore itself when doing a ROM update (dirty flash only). For those of you who generally update your ROM with a dirty flash, you'd only have to flash this ONCE - EVER - as long as you don't manually wipe the system partition.

Any thoughts?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] spankymo:
will the addon be in the form of another flashable zip? I think it's a good idea.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Geo411m:
This would be a great idea and pretty much what the Banks GApps package does.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Lozone:
I think this the perfect solution for the camera issue.

Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Chochiwpg:
I like it the way it is now. The reason I choose pa gapps is because it's a full gapps package with photosphere and gallery backup included. Only one zip to flash, takes care of everything and less downloading from the Play Store since its a full package.

CM users have the official Android 4.3 gapps package they could use which doesn't include photosphere or gallery backup. Just my opinion, I like an all in one package then having separate add ons to flash.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hozjacz:
All GApps in one flashable zip are great. Sigle addons are maybe sometime usefull. Both way are good.

But I think, that missing GPS local data is Photo Sphere isn't caused incompatibility with CM Focal and Google Camera. It's not working in StockROM (odexed and deodexed) or in Paranoid ROM (with previous Gapps). This is some trouble (I think) in the application G. Camera itself.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] clem_ita:
I have the same problem: location data is stored in regular pictures but is missing in all photosheres. In my case it's not CM related since I'm running a clean install of PARANOID ANDROID and its gapps. pa_mako-3.98-2010820 and pa_google_apps-201308200

I'm a bit confused now.. since TKruzze has location data correctly stored in his spheres, it looks like a problem on my side. But I wiped everything and installed only the official zips, so, what mistake could I have made?

(PS: already controlled camera options and "Store location" is activated for both regular pictures and photosphere :confused: )

Thanks in advance for any advice :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] 75markus:
i have the same problem on CM with newest PA GAPPS 25.08.2013 ...

Focal is deleted now, but Camera still doesn´t store location data in photospheres, normal pictures are fine ..

BTW, Banks photosphere zip doesn´t work either ...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] floepie:
I hardly think removing Focal is the way to go. Seems a bit excessive. It's just another camera, and it seems WAY more likely to be a fault of the Google camera, or perhaps a locality issue. Furthermore, it's already been reported that removing Focal doesn't clear up the issue, and the CM thread now has users wondering what happened to Focal.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Ok maybe I'm missing something but in the updated Google+ is there no way to search circles or people? I've looked everywhere in the app and can't find out how to. Searching was there before because I've built up my circles using the app.

Is anyone else not seeing a way to search or is there something up with PA GApps? ...Or did Google remove it?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] OhDae-su:
My version number ends with ...204 and I assume it's the latest one. If I tap on the g+ icon top left within the app there's the search function. So all good here...:what:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
That's the thing. I have 204 also doing a fresh installation of PA and GApps and tapping the G+ icon slides out my cover image like so in the attached photo.

EDIT: Clearing the app's data fixed it. Not sure what that was all about but it was driving me crazy not being able to search :confused:

EDIT 2: Tapping on my profile from the G+ button then tapping it again takes me back to the above issue. No search or any other buttons, just my cover photo. Clearing the app's data again fixes it temporarily. Something is definitely wrong here.

EDIT 3: Removing my cover photo and setting it using the app permanently fixed it. Apparently it's something to do with its huge size and setting it via computer.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nikki1993:
Maybe an obvious thing but still worth asking, did you wipe cache/dalvik when you installed new GAPPS?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Yeah I had did everything to try fixing it including wiping dalvik cache and fixed it by my 3rd edit.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Keep in mind that I have never released a GApps package that removes Focal. I made one test build for one person. I doubt the issue is from my GApps package.

At this point, I will not be doing any releases that touch the CM Focal camera. As long as they do not conflict with one another there's no reason to do so.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] rickbosch:
Firstly, thanks for all your hard, and awesome, work [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION], it's much appreciated. Secondly, just wanted to ask why in the Play Store the Google Keyboard doesn't show as "installed". I mean it's as minor as it gets, but just curious, that way if it does get updated I don't have to redownload the whole package. (Which I'm only trying to do when a bunch of apps update)

EDIT: nevermind, clean flash fixed it.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hozjacz:
Yes, that's exactly what I want to see on my phone (you can upload photo sphere do Google Maps?).

You are testing the same Gapps as me and PA one step older. Is between 3.98 and 3.99 so big difference? What I / we doing wrong?

Do you planning upgrade to 3.99?

I think where is difference?

Existing some difference between separate phones Nexus 4? I know only about the second series with the stump on back side. I have first series without the stumps.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
There is nothing more that can currently be done to increase the compatibility of the GoogleDialer Addon Module. As I very clearly note in the file description, it does not function 100% on all ROM's. I've studied dozens of implementations across XDA and other sites and none are without their problems and issues. The method I use seems to be the most compatible, but it's still far from perfect.

Despite what CM says, their keyboard is not AOSP. It's a highly modified version of AOSP that differs greatly from true AOSP. If you want to keep that keyboard as your default, make certain you select one of my GApps packages that does NOT replace the Stock/AOSP keyboard.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
Thank you for your response.

I read the OP (and the entire thread) before I wrote you about it. I am aware of the Google Dialer issues, but all of the ones I have seen reported have been with the dialer itself (my dialer does not FC), not "collateral damage" in settings, as I have experienced/found. I was hoping that you (or anyone more experienced than I) could look at the LogCat file and possibly determine what triggered the error, and therefore provide a possible path to correct it. I don't have the expertise. If it is a CM coding issue, I would report it to them, for example, but am reluctant to do that without trying to do my homework first.

However, I'm having trouble with google now.

Before you can turn it on, your administrator needs to turn it on for the whole domain."

At this point you should know that I'm using Temasek's unofficial CM11 (4.4.2, v27) rom with your "mini modular" gapps package on a samsung galaxy s3 i9300. Also, this is my private phone and it has nothing to do with any business and I've been using google now since it came some two years ago.

I tried to do my research so it seems some other were having the same trouble with the nexus 5, but an update fixed theirs.

I've also tried to install your full modular package without success.

Any suggestions?

Google Keyboard Data Usage

I use the full google stock gapps package on my Nexus 4 (Purity ROM) and notice unusually high data usage for Google Keyboard over WiFi. In around 20 days, it has used around 1.5Gb data

In fact I just flashed the latest gapps package around 10 minutes ago and it already used around 22Mb data
