PA GApps Update Announcement

PA GAPPS - APRIL 12 UPDATE

APRIL 12, 2014 - 20140412

Google Keyboard updated to v3.0.19423.1102675a [Stock/Keyboard Addon]

Cloud Print updated to v0.9.8 [Stock/Full]

Google Play Newsstand updated to v3.2.0 (AGAIN) [Stock/Full]

Added a new Advanced Feature for Modular GApps packages that will allow you to optionally remove the Stock/AOSP Launcher, Browser, or MMS app if you choose.

To use this feature, place a file in /sdcard/ called '.gapps-modular '.

Inside the file, type the name of the Stock/AOSP app(s) you wish to remove during installation. Valid options are:

launcher (to remove Stock/AOSP Launcher) [Full, Mini, and Micro]

mms (to remove Stock/AOSP MMS App) [Full and Mini ONLY]

browser (to remove Stock/AOSP Browser) [Full ONLY]​

Fixed a system partition space calculation error in Google Stock GApps (ONLY) that may have allowed previous versions to install when it should have failed. This problem would only potentially have affected Galaxy Nexus users or users who were close to running out of space using the Google Stock package. [Stock]

Script now removes 'rogue' keyboard app found in some ROM's (thanks to [MENTION=5469893]alexcheveau[/MENTION] for the report) [Stock/Keyboard Addon]

I just realized that currents isn't included in the apps. Not that I'm complaining, but isn't it still preinstalled on the nexus devices?

Currents doesn’t exist anymore, it's newsstand now.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
Right, that's saying only wipe /data and /cache. Not /system which you are doing. It relies on not wiping /system. How do you propose it should work if you're wiping the partition in which the .apks are being stored?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Doo Doo:
bro you can't read it says factory reset in that post thats all i do i don't wipe my system partition

What recovery do you use?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
What version of TWRP?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Doo Doo:
always the latest
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
Perhaps a recovery log would help see what's happening exactly. Here are the instructions:

Next time you flash, do it as you normally would but also grab the log and it should help.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Doo Doo:
i'll try but i was never good at getting logs
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
After you flash, before you reboot to system just hit the home button, then tap advanced, then tap the copy log button. Then once the phone reboots and is all back to normal plug it into your computer and open your file browser to your phone. In the main storage there should be recovery.log which you should be able to attach here.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] boomam:
Am i correct in thinking that the main advantage of "PA GApps" vs "GApps" mainly revolve around the apps being stored in system rather than data?

And with that in mind, what i've read in this thread thus far seems to suggest that flashing PA GApps over an existing ROM/GApps install will work, and the system will remove the GApps on data if the system ones are the same/newer?

Correct?

##EDIT##

Decided to give it a try anyway.

This was on an official AOKP 4.3 release, previously with the "normal gapps" package and the PA Photosphere addon. Davlik & Cache wiped after flash.

Looked at both data & system storage before and after flashing the full package, decrease in storage on data, increase on system, so far no issues.

Excellent!

Weird, but everything's all right on my N4 and had this on a maguro and on a N7. I wyped dalvik & cache and it's all back to normal. Can't say if it'll be constant though.

There's no method I have found that can force Google to deliver an update any earlier, with the exception of a reboot.

My theory is that Google knows best. There must be a reason for maintaining separate versions or I wouldn't imagine Google having made the change.

I can't imagine the purpose in doing so. I wouldn't recommend even trying it.

Yep. Or MMSLauncher or mMslaUNCher... Case, order, spaces, or separate lines don't matter. It'll all do the same thing.

I'm running franco kernel and with xposed. I know exposed isnt ART compatible, but that shouldn't mean I can't select it. I've flashed both the full and modular 4.4.2 packages..

Guys, favor please: can someone with a Nexus 4 that's received the update for Google Play Services 4.3.25 (with the -036 suffix) upload the apk somewhere reputable? There's a link shared like 5 pages ago but the site is looking really dubious to me.

Thanks.

Well the thing is I don't want Google Bookmark Sync (if I don't need it), Gmail, Google+, Google Calendar, Google Now Launcher, Google Text-to-Speech, Hangouts nor Street View. I want Google's footprint on my handset to be as small as possible. I understand Play Services is necessary for Maps unfortunately. Getting the apks for the apps I need isn't a problem.

So even if I download the micro package I'll have to remove some files. Do I simply delete the apks from /system/app? How do I not get rid of the stock/AOSP calendar?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Whosdaman:
Install the mini or micro package then, and then download the maps
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigsupersquid:
yes, delete them before rebooting after flashing. backup the apps you want to keep and replace them after flashing.

or delete from the zip, remove delete commands from updater-script buried way down in META-INF folder, and flash without signature verification.

//edit: didn't mean to drift OT from the point of the thread, sorry.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] miguelfp1:
first off, thanks TKruzze for the GApps!

I'm having a bit of trouble with Google Keyboard where it Force Closes after installing ('Unfortunately, Google Keyboard has stopped').

The error occurs both when using the Google Stock Gapps or the Full Modular w/ Google Keyboard add-on (using the latest package, 20140412), with the latest Bean Stalk for the Note 3 (ROM here, I have a Sprint Note 3). Clearing data for the AOSP keyboard before flashing and for Google Keyboard after flashing has not helped.

Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PiggySmalls:
Clear data/cache on Google Keyboard, then reboot. That should fix it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] miguelfp1:
hanks for replying. unfortunately, even after clearing data and rebooting multiple times, the error persists. I'm also unable to install it directly from the Play Store :confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PiggySmalls:
I would suggest downloading something like kii keyboard, then uninstall any version of Google, Android, or aosp keyboards, reboot, then install Google keyboard from the store. You can uninstall kii at that point too, you just don't want to delete all your keyboards at once
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] miguelfp1:
Hi, still having issues, probably related to the ROM/GApps combination.... I tried deleting LatinIME.apk, flashing ROM, booting the ROM, deleting LatinIME.apk again before finally flashing GApps, and the problem persists.

I think I'll just hold off from updating ROM and GApps until I have time for a clean flash.

Thanks for your help!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Whosdaman:
You don't need to do a clean flash. Wipe system, then flash your custom ROM then gapps and then your custom kernel if you use one. See if that works.

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] found a quick bug in your flash modifications for atleast the full-modular version. Works perfectly on initial flash, but it doesn't survive an rom ota flash. Of course it is a derp in 70-gapps.sh. You have this in there

pre-restore)
# Check for existence of .gapps-stock in /sdcard for flash modifications
if [ -e /sdcard/.gapps-full ]; then
if (grep -qi "launcher" /sdcard/.gapps-full ); then
# Remove the stock/AOSP Launcher
rm -f /system/priv-app/Launcher2.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/Launcher3.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/Trebuchet.apk
rm -f /system/app/Launcher2.apk
rm -f /system/app/Launcher3.apk
rm -f /system/app/Trebuchet.apk
fi
if (grep -qi "mms" /sdcard/.gapps-full ); then
# Remove the stock/AOSP MMS app
rm -f /system/priv-app/Mms.apk
fi
fi

You are checking on an incorrect file as you had directed us to name the file /sdcard/.gapps-modular . . also you aren't removing aosp browser. Tried swapping the above incorrect script with this below (modified from your work of course) and it worked just fine.

# Check for existence of .gapps-modular in /sdcard for flash modifications
if [ -e /sdcard/.gapps-modular ]; then
if (grep -qi "launcher" /sdcard/.gapps-modular ); then
# Remove the stock/AOSP Launcher
rm -f /system/priv-app/Launcher2.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/Launcher3.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/Trebuchet.apk
rm -f /system/app/Launcher2.apk
rm -f /system/app/Launcher3.apk
rm -f /system/app/Trebuchet.apk

Google KB Error with latest PAGapps

Same issue with me. Also, the back button is not working with the latest PA Gapps Stock installed.

Reverting back to pa_gapps-modular-full-4.4.2-20140329 gets rid of the problems and Google Keyboard...so there is no error.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] alpha007org:
Hi.

I was wondering if there is someone who's already explained how can one remove some apps from Google Stock Package? Tried useing search but haven't found any explanation just "delete .apks from /system before flashing..." and similar answers which doesn't explain anything.

I would appreciate some pointers or links on how to do this. Please...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] apatal:
Sure. For me, I use zArchiver from the Play store: http://goo.gl/BnXXwi

After installing, open the app and navigate to the folder where your stock package is saved. Now copy the package (press and hold the file until the menu pops up) into a different folder in your local storage. This is important because if you somehow messed up while deleting apks from the zip or if your edited package fails to flash, you can always flash the original, unmolested version you still have. now go back to the original file and "View" using zArchiver. Now you can either delete apks you don't want one by one by press and holding a file until the popup menu shows up, or you can select multiple items by touching their respective file icon (leftmost image of a filename) one by one, then selecting delete from the "wrench" menu located in the action bar at the bottom.

Note: there is waiting time involved as zArchiver deletes the files you are deleting, usually lasting one to two minutes so have patience. also, if you you are not sure about deleting a file (especially for *.lib or *.so files, etc) then do not do it. Better have a lingering file in there than have problems while using your phone later.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for anyone who tries and do the instructions above and bricks their device. I've been doing this for a while now though without any issues. Have fun! :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Every user who has reported issues with the Keyboard has resolved them with a clean flash. I'd suggest making a nandroid, manually wipe your system partition, perform a factory reset, and then install your ROM and GApps. While I realize that this is a hassle, it's almost always guaranteed to resolve these types of issues. And, if you find it didn't work, you could always restore your nandroid and be right back where you were.

Excellent work! I totally missed going back to fix that after the betas. I also noticed I have similar issues with the Mini and Micro packages. Thanks for the report and keeping an eye on me.

While I have no issues with anyone wanting to mod/hack these GApps packages, having those types discussions here is beyond the purpose and scope of this thread. Please feel free to create your own thread elsewhere. Thanks.

Please report what camera version you received from the Play Store

I just received the new camera for my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7. Both were version number 2.1.037 (1122348-30). I would appreciate hearing from users of different devices on what version you received from the Play Store, not what you sideloaded.

This will help me determine if there are multiple versions available for different devices. If the camera appears to be the same across all devices, that would make updating GApps a LOT easier.

Thanks, in advance, for your reports.

Now I need to decide if it's even possible to keep Google Gallery. Gallery has been so intertwined with the Google camera that I don't think it'll be possible to keep it with this new camera.

My guess is that Google will be abandoning support for the Google Gallery, anyway, as the Photos app (from G+) seems to be where all their focus is these days.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
No pun intended?

2.1.037 (1122348-30) was just pushed to my GNex (Maguro). FWIW, it did not uninstall Gallery. Suggest you wait to see what Google puts in the next (4.4.3) build of KitKat.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
They will coexist as long as you install Google Camera from the Play Store (in your Data partition). The game changes completely, though, when you install both to the system partition.

I'm working on maintaining both, for now, but there's still the possibility that Gallery may have to go. I have a strong feeling that Google will be abandoning Google Gallery once 4.4.3 drops, anyway.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Jay Rock:
The new camera update from the Play Store will also apply to AOSP ROMs? I've read previous posts in this thread but still a little confused, since I'm not sure if the camera app on something like a Cyanogenmod ROM is maintained by CM themselves or if it's not, and I don't see anything camera related in the gapps packages.:confused::eek:
