I've created a rather simple .sh file and placed it in the /addon.d directory, in order to remove certain GApps that I don't need.

I've set the permissions and the owner according to the rest of the .sh scripts in that directory, but it doesn't seem to work, these particular .apk's are there after rebooting.

Any ideas?

This is the script, which I've named 98-remove-gapps.sh:

#!/sbin/sh

rm -f /system/app/Chrome.apk
rm -f /system/app/GoogleEarth.apk
rm -f /system/app/Books.apk
rm -f /system/app/Videos.apk
rm -f /system/app/Music2.apk
rm -f /system/app/Magazines.apk
rm -f /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
rm -f /system/app/Street.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/talkback.apk
rm -f /system/priv-app/Wallet.apk

I have just installed latest PA gapps on CM ones and switched to ART. After a boot animation that I think would never end (!) and the actualisation of the apps, everything is fine, except the following error message, configupdater stopped.

I just checked com.google.android.configupdater, and it is in v 4.4.1...?

Maybe it is why it stopped at boot.

I don't know if it's installed with PA or CM gapps...

Wiping system only wipes the ROM and system apps. All user downloaded apps are in Data. You don't lose anything by wiping system that can't be restored by flashing your ROM + GApps again.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
It erases all the system apps (apps that come with your ROM and gapps), not the user apps you installed from the market. Then you just flash your ROM and gapps. All your data and user apps will be kept

One question, if I flashed your original 4.2.2 12/12 Google Stock package Gapps from earlier do I have the nexus 4 camera on my Galaxy Nexus?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
so this means I should constantly look back at this thread to see that it's updated right? If one day the PA team decides to abandon these GApps and rely on say CM Gapps which aren't all about integrating apps into /system, then I'll be screwed? Or have to manually convert them to System apps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] :
Is anyone else experiencing issues with the text to speech engine? I'm getting "unfortunately, Google text-to-speech engine has stopped" when launching apps that have tts abilities.

Running CM 11 nightly on LG G2 (vs980) with PA 12/12 stock gapps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
I have not yet installed this new suite of GApps, but the typical solution for this problem is to delete the App (GoogleTTS.apk) and then reinstall it from the Play Store. If you would prefer not to do that, you can try re-installing the GApps first.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] loughary:
The Google Stock Package is almost perfect for my liking but I'd like to keep AOSP MMS App. I'm sure someone much smarter then me could tell me what script I need to edit in the zip for it not to uninstall AOSP MMS app. I'm just not a huge fan of Hangouts yet, maybe in time it will grow on me.

Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Yes. All Camera binaries were updated in the initial Stock GApps release.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] o0BlacknesS0o:
Just wanted to throw in my 2 cents as feedback to consider...

Although frozen solid came off a bit rudely, I agree with most of what he said. This is not a rom, just a gapps package and shouldn't be altering people's roms except to replace duplicate apps such as calendar. Chrome is not the same as the aosp browser so replacing aosp browser with chrome is silly... Not to mention I use chrome beta so if this installs chrome then I still need to download beta so your not really saving me any room. This is also the same for Messaging and Hangouts. Hangout is great but it doesn't contain the same features as Messaging. I could understand if your replacing apps in your own package, but you shouldn't be removing things from roms.. That should be the user choice

And I appreciate the work being done here and I'm sure Tkruzze can appreciate user feedback when it's done properly

As for the rest of you... I'm not concerned about what you think of my 2 cents... If you agree, just hit the thanks button... If you don't agree, that's fine, but don't quote my post and then try to argue with me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
What he is doing is exactly what he stated he is doing, creating a true stock google gapps. The direction Google themselves are going is the complete removal of SMS, AOSP Browser and it looks to be eventually AOSP Dialer as well. If you notice the title it is "Official 0-Day PA-Google Apps", that means these are PA-Gapps, the PA Team has expressed countless times that they want the closest to Google Stock as possible, that means if Google does not include SMS in their newest roms then neither will PA, if Google does not include Browser in their newest rom, Neither will PA. Do you see where this is going? TKruzze is obviously not trying to remove things from peoples roms but these gapps are built to be the closest to how Google is releasing them as possible. There are many other Gapps sets out there that contain the SMS, Browser, Launcher3, Dialer etc that people want but that is not how Google is moving forward with thier OS's.

I do get what you mean though and was not trying to come off rude. I just don't think alot of people get what Stock Google Gapps means.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] o0BlacknesS0o:
OK I have not flashed the latest so I'm going by what has been said here... By comments that were made it sounds as if flashing these gapps is removing messaging and browser entirely.... I have no problem if he's removing them from HIS gapps package... My only concern would be if he is removing from the Rom via script
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
They do remove them, and as I just said, that is how Stock Google Gapps are, it is a true to Stock Google 4.4.2 experience.

4.4.2 does not have SMS, it uses Hangouts, 4.4.2 does not have Browser, it uses Chrome, 4.4.2 does not have Dialer, it uses GoogleDialer, 4.4.2 does not have Launcher3, it uses Google Experience Launcher.

This is how Google wants their OS to be as of now starting with the Nexus 5, eventually the other Nexus devices as well as Google Play Edition devices will follow suit. PA Gapps go in that direction, because the Paranoidandroid Team wants to be as close to stock as possible and these are PA Gapps.

If you want to keep certain apps then modify the script so it does not remove the apps in question, otherwise there are plenty of other Gapps packages that keep the applications you wish to still use.

There is no reason why TKruzze should alter his Gapps packages completely for a couple people that don't like it.

Again, not trying to be rude but there are options out there for other Gapps that do what you want, or you could download the factory images and create your own Gapps.

I just do not see why this is such a big deal. It's not like he secretly removed this stuff, he told everyone up front so they have the opportunity to decide whether these Gapps are right for them.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
There's a couple of things that you (and others) may not have considered.

These GApps were originally developed to support Paranoid Android ROM's. The goal, first and foremost is to support PA users. All changes, including the recent controversial ones, have been made in conjunction with the Core AOSPA Development team.

Second, I have provided a COMPLETE alternative solution with the Modular Full GApps. If you prefer to keep your AOSP keyboard, browser, or messaging app, you can simply use my Modular Full GApps.

Third, I provide clear and complete code commenting in all my scripts. I do this, in part, so you can revert or modify any changes I have made.

Fourth, while I understand that some have become accustomed to the stock/AOSP apps, they were initially provided well before Google even had legitimate alternatives available. In the past two years, Google has introduced Chrome Browser, Hangouts messaging, Google keyboard, and they continue to develop these applications at a far greater pace than their AOSP counterparts will ever be. We believe that the time for making the Google applications the default applications has come.

If anyone would like to continue this discussion, please open a new topic in a discussion thread (I may even join you) . We are doing a major disservice to those who have legitimate questions and concerns by continuing this here.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] o0BlacknesS0o:
I see why and what they are going for I just don't agree with the removing of things... PA is welcome to do these things with their roms but to add something that removed things on other roms just doesn't seem proper. I agree that there are other gapps packages available and I will have to start using Kaydins gapps now. Just as a user I wanted to offer my feedback to Tkruzze on how I felt about the change
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bigmike35:
Question, I don't know if its the rom or the gapps package/scripts in it but when I install this using cm11, apps wouldn't restore on next flash like normal, but using dhackers gapps it did. Is that a script thing, gapps or rom? Just curious
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
This was an issue back when this package was odexed, but since the 11/26 version, that should no longer be an issue. There's nothing in this package that should prevent their restoration, unless CM has made changes to their addon.d functionality. If you find that's the case, please let me know and, if possible, I'll try and remedy.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
As of 4.4.2 it does have it. Why it still does when Hangouts is supposed to be taking its place? Don't know.

Same with the Gallery app. The Photos app is supposed to be taking its place with that too but it's still in 4.4.2.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
If you guys read one line below my comment about apps being replaced you would see I was referring to the Nexus 5 as of right now and the rest of the Nexus line of devices as well as the Google Play Edition devices to come. The way the stock Nexus 5 is setup is the direction Google is moving with the OS.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Droiderat:
Was looking at the apks in the new "pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20131212c-signed.zip", and noticed the absence of 2 that I have seen elsewhere. Specifically "ConfigUpdater.apk" and "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk".

Am not sure what ConfigUpdater does, but I can guess what GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter does (or did), and of course I want my calendar to sync.

Are these apks not part of 4.4.2, and therefore no longer necessary?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PhoenixTank:
Hi!

Wanted to say thanks for the gapps package, share my experience with this so far, and ask a question.

I'm running a Nexus 7 Wifi (2012) with the latest CM11 nightly (12/12/13) and ART, instead of dalvik.

Had a few issues with Keep (FC), Google TTS (FC), stock email and exchange.apk (Exchange Services?) crashing. I honestly don't know whether that is CM, ART, the gapps, or a combination of all three.

I sidestepped the issue with these by deleting them from /system/app/ and grabbing from the play store where available.

All generally happy, except on every boot I still have one app being built by ART. Does anyone know how I can find out which app that is? My google-fu has failed me on this but I was hoping to remove/replace the problematic app. A point in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bray424:
The whole idea behind ART is to compile all your apps ahead of time, rather than just in time the way dalvik does. It does this the first time you boot up after you've switched to ART, so a boot time of 10-15 minutes isn't unusual, and could be even longer on an older device.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nephilim:
I had that same issue back on one of the first CM11 Official builds but after awhile it just seemed to fix itself, I wish I knew what changed. Maybe my Gapps, not sure. I do remember that when I first tried out 4.4 it was a clean AOSP build called Shiny from over on RootzWiki, then I flashed over it with Swordrune's Unofficial CM11 build. I think that after awhile I did a clean install of either Swordrune's CM11 or the Official CM11 nightlies and the problem was gone.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I believe I have found the issue with Google TTS. Somehow I mixed the app and support libraries from different versions. I'll have an update out in the next few hours to fix the issue. Thanks for the reports!

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk was designed to allow syncing of the AOSP calendar with Google. Since we include the Google Calendar, this is not necessary. As to ConfigUpdater.apk, I've never included it in any GApps package. I don't know what purpose it has, either.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SurlyDuff:
Damn, even this Google Dialer isn't working with the AOKP kitkat mako build (from the source). I've tried them all and nothing works:-/ I guess I'm SOL.

Edit: I cherry-picked the updated device blobs, rebuilt the zip, and now everything works. I'm ecstatic.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ultimategamer_:
So apparently the newest 4.4.2 Gapps works with 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 ROMS? And to make sure I read this correctly, it is better to download the Full Modular package if you have a non Nexus device?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] q1t1:
So, I finally found where is the problem!

As a reminder, this is my hystory :

I flashed at first CM nightly + 20131208 CM Gapps that are stated not compatible with ART.

As I wanted all the goods that PA Gapps provide, I flashed these on the CM ones.

Then I switched to ART runtime.

Eeverything works well, except the fact that I had an error message at boot saying that ConfigUpdater stopped working.

But, as TKruzze said, this app isn't included in PA Gapps package.

The problem is, of course, that ConfigUpdater.apk from the CM Gapps package is not compatible with ART and is trying to run on ART!

So I have downloaded the 20131119 CM Gapps package (compatible with ART), trim it to only keep ConfigUpdater.apk and modify the update-script to reinstall it. Of course, all credits remains to CM Team.

As I know others have the same problem, you will find it below and you can flash it on your device.

It worked for me, flash it at your own risk :p

Thank you TKruzze for your good work!!!
