so instead of 4 packages u want tkruzze to now maintain 8? what's wrong with free space check it's just a script to make sure u have enough space to flash it doesn't affect performance in any way lol
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] marekracak:
No for performance. TKruzze said there is problem with free space check in aroma.There can be one more package instead of all provided packages with aroma installer for users who don't care about free space.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Yeah, I still haven't figured out the zip signing problem. I'll use what ever you can come up with. What I currently use is a Windows Shell Extension I wrote. I right-click on the folder and it updates g.prop with date and package size, builds gapps-list.txt, updates addon.d script, dates the zip, builds the zip, signs the zip, and creates the MD5 with one click. I can modify it for whatever method ends up working. Of course, I'm using standard test keys for signing.

The Dalvik and ART cache are not stored in System partition, so it's a non-issue.

Thanks for the offer... If I do create multiple packages, The installer code would be identical, however the included apps would vary, much as I do today.

I'm also thinking of making the config file work one of two ways... 1) User selects only apps they DON'T want OR... 2) user selects only apps they DO want. Of course, the Core portion of GApps will be installed each time. The default behavior, of course, will be that NO configuration will be necessary. If the user makes no configuration file, the install and user expereince will be exactly as it is today. The advanced features would be for the ~10% who like to tweak things their way.

That would NOT be a good idea, IMHO. Last week, for instance, there were almost 200,000 downloads of these GApps. My guess is 90%+ of those downloads were from users who have never visited this thread and most don't even know what a system partition is.

Before I added the partition size detection, the reputation of these GApps was actually being damaged by people who claimed my GApps failed to properly work on their devices. Today, the installer tells them that there's a problem BEFORE any changes are made.

Noob question: those packages are with or without NEON instruction? I want to try it with LG 2x and our phone (Tegra 2) doesn't support NEON.

Titanium backup issue

Hello and thank you for this app pack!

But I have an issue with Titanium backup after installing the " FULL COMPLETE PACKAGE" from 10.10.2013. I rebooted to Recovery, installed zip, wiped cacje and dalvik-cache, rebooted to he system. Everything is working well, but when I tried to create a backup of new apps in Titanium, it said "No free space", while there iare 6 b more. But it can restore any app. Changing of the backup dir didn't help. Superuser is working (restoring in Titanium and copy / delete o /sys/system/app). What can be the problem and where I should search to resolve it? Thank you.

My device is Google Nexus 4, CyanogenMod 10.2.

Gapps 10/10/13 did not have the chrome?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
No
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] adeelhayat90:
But why bro? Is it not the part of gapps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
It's a Google's app but it's a browser and one wants to use opera instead of chrome, or next browser or another browser, so it's not good to make someone install chrome - that's why I think it isn't in gapps - you still can install it from play store and convert to system app if you want it to be system app
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] adeelhayat90:
How to convert it to system app?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
By using Titanium Backup or just move chrome.apk from /data/app/ to /system/app/ with any root explorer
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] :
Hey there,

would it be possible to include a chrome Addon package (since it also some sort of pure Google Experience). For those who have no idea how to do that and don't have root? :/

(thanks in advance)

Cheers :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] phadly:
not that easy..if you move chrome.apk manually you need to extract libchromeview.so from apk package then move it to system/lib/..otherwise chrome failed to open..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Yep. That should do it. Then flash in the order I suggested.

Obviously, I can't test every ROM out there, but, yes, it should be compatible. If you have problems, please let me know.

You guys might want to check out @BaNkS GApps HERE. He does a nice job of maintaining a completely minimal GApps package.

Note that his PhotoSphere package is only truly compatible with the Nexus 4. However, you could use my PhotoSphere Addon if you have another compatible Nexus device.

Sorry, but this is not a GApps issue. It's strictly an issue with TB.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
As noted in the OP, "Although Google Chrome Browser does come standard on Nexus devices, it is not included here as most ROM's already include the AOSP browser.". However, see my response below.

Yes. I think your idea makes sense. Give me some time and I'll create a Chrome Browser Addon Module that you can flash. I'll also add in addon.d backup support so it'll automatically restore after a ROM update.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
While I'm certainly no expert in this area, it's my understanding that Google dropped support for non-NEON devices beginning with Android 4.2. Since our current GApps packages are only designed for Android 4.3.x, my guess is they would NOT be compatible.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] steviemch:
I'm running PA and had the same problem. Flashing Chainfire's SuperSu in Recovery and using that instead of the baked in superuser sorted the problem for me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] KingPrincess:
This needs to be in the OP. This worked perfectly all it did was switch me back to phablet UI so you should also mention if you're using tablet UI you'll have to switch those settings back if you're using PA.

I LOVE PARANOID ANDROID SO MUCH.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] UtkarshGupta:
We can do that with keywords like if I want to install nexus 5 gallery on my non-nexus - gallery_hammerhead_install

or if I don't want it on my nexus - gallery_remove

we can also add keywords like full/bare to indicate whether user will choose packages he wants or whether he will choose packages he doesn't want.

EDIT: I'm still doing some internal testing, but should have this ready for testing soon. I still can't make properly signed zip files that extract.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
The important thing is that it has been done, that's not important how. Just a question: why do you prefer make a shell script instead of using the recovery scripting? Is it faster? Or just more simple to code?

However I think that on unsupported devices you should install the "30" version because it's the only one than can be installed on non-standard DPIs, so it's the one you should install.

EDIT: BTW this is the zip I created: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B27-Q3Won2AhSms5Y3dfQlNodHc/edit?usp=sharing
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Shell is infinitely more powerful than edify and adds the ability to allow placing the config file in the same folder as the zip.

The only potential downside is that it relies on the user's Recovery version of busybox, which could potentially lead to incompatibilities with poorly built Recoveries. The good news is that it's the same structure that Chainfire uses with his SU install zips and I've also been using it with the GApps Remover utility with no reports of any problems.

As to using -30, I wonder if the benefit will be worth the cost. Adding -30 adds another 20MB to the zip size. Are you saying that if ro.sf.lcd_density is ANYTHING other than 160, 240, 320, or 480 it should install the -030 version? Any chance you have sources on that I might be able to verify?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
It's my supposition. 32 will only install if the DPI value is 160, 34 only if it's 240, 36 if it's 320 and 38 if it's 480. All other devices also need Play Services and the only version that can be installed is the 30 one (unless it's an x86 device). This is the standard behavior, but the <compatible-screens> parameter is not even checked when installing the app and it's only useful for the Play Store to determinate what APK it should send to you, so flashing the 38 version on a device with a DPI of 320 should not give problems. However if you open the APKs you can find out that the 38 APK will only contain the xxhdpi drawable folder, while the 30 one will contain the tvdpi folder (~213 DPI) but also all the other drawable folders (including ldpi that was not found in all other APKs (160 DPI is mdpi)).

Based on this I assumed that 30 is universal, but only sent by the Play Store to devices that doesn't meet the requirements for the other versions. The check happens starting from the newer one to the older one, so the "last case" APK should always be the lower version number.

What. GApps?

GApps are for AOSP ROMs that don't include GApps themselves.

Your stock ROM has GApps - whatever GApps are compatible with your ROM version and any updates given by Google Play.

How can I get it?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Not from memory. You or I will have to mine the thread for peoples' responses back when we were trying to establish a pattern. If you don't beat me to it I'll add it to my list of things to look into later this week when I have time. :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I forgot to thank you for that! Obviously, I used your sig as the base for mine.

I think I'm actually good with the ppi method. Even if it's not perfect, it should be right 90%+ of the time. Besides, there's no way I know of to run aapt from Recovery. Also, if you look at other popular GApps packages, they're ONLY using the -038 version and have reported problems very rarely.

I am very reluctant to bring it back because of the problems with v1.0. If ALL of those issues have been resolved, then I MIGHT consider it as an addon. The first issue to be resolved is that it will have work 100% properly on a clean flash (something v1.0 would not do on an AOSP ROM).

I'm not sure what any of you are really looking for. You might want to spend some time on the Opening Page of this thread. I put a lot of time creating it to answer most questions that visitors might have.

You're kidding me? This is crazy... So even if I measure the device's system partition, the cache partition might not have enough space to build the Dalvik cache? I honestly can't see any way that I would be able to test for that.

Still don't understand what you're asking? What 'Stock' camera are you looking for? There's only 2 that I know of. The one that comes with your ROM and the Google Camera which is available on the Play Store or in our Stock GApps or Google Camera Addon. I don't have anything else to offer, sorry.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Haha I suspected you might have, what with the spacer gif columns and v.ht shortened links. ;)

v.ht looks kinda sketchy at a glance but I really enjoy that you can choose your own custom links making it both the shortest and best I've found. :)

The original stock camera from the n5 4.4.2 stock ROM is what I believe you are wanting. Hate to say it, but you can't have it. Even if you found an old package containing it, it wouldn't stick, as it would be updated to google camera via the play store on first boot. If you want HDR, flash the google camera add on, that is your best bet that uses the least system space/resources

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] recently said he's looking into it. The old one wouldn't flash on a clean install, you'd have to boot once to let "phone" initialize, and then flash Dialer. If the new version doesn't require this then he'll likely make a package for it. :good:

Like you said, everything works fine; this has nothing to do with GApps and doesn't belong in a GApps thread. Post it in your device's forum, in the general thread for the ROM you use, or in a Q&A section.
