Hi there!

I got a problem with my camera. I'm running the latest CM11 and latest Gapps for KitKat. The Google Camera App does not work at all and using the App "A better camera" only works with the front camera. No possibility to switch to the rear cam. Same problem installing latest CM12 with latest Gapps for Lollipop. Is this caused by updating to the latest Gapps? Have to mention that my phone fell down and the display was broken. But that was fixed by my service and everything seems to run fine again except the rear cam. It worked all fine before. Hope somebody can help or is there the option to download older gapps version to test that?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NimeniAltu666:
Hello! So I installed the unofficial CM12 on my Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It won't show my phone files on my computer via the USB cable so I just downloaded the nano gapps from my phone.

I then got into TWRP and tried to flash it but it failed... what can I do?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Burhan777:
did you flash gapps for 4.4 ?

Can you help or can not help? Please write no nonsense! Such an observation is unnecessary. [emoji35]
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] demlv:
Based on what you wrote, you flashed a version of CM12, a Lollipop rom (Android 5+). But the gapps linked in the first post of THIS thread are for Kitkat roms (Android 4.4.x). You need to flash Lollipop gapps.

Here is a link to one set of gapps that are compatible with Lollipop roms: http://xdaforums.com/paranoid-android/general/gapps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900

I found the problem... I had an extra space in one of the copy statements. Unfortunately, every device was affected, not just the Manta. I will be uploading a 'fixed' version shortly and would appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, because you've installed BaNkS' GApps, you will need to manually wipe the System partition before you install. If you follow the steps outlined in the FAQ, question 3, you won't lose any of your settings.

This is probably also a good time to mention that mixing GApps from different GApps providers is never a good idea. That's because most GApps makers use their own application naming scheme. Mixing GApps with different naming schemes will lead to fc's and potentially other problems. The naming scheme I use for all of my applications is Google's naming scheme from the Nexus 5 Factory image. Most GApps authors will choose names that they are comfortable with, however that will lead to significant problems for users should they flash on stock or on top of another GApps package.

Thanks, again, for the report! I'll have an updated Full Complete package (Photosphere Addon is fine) uploaded in a short while.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Don't see how this could be a GApps issue. EVERY SINGLE application in my GApps packages are 100% unmodified and DIRECTLY from Google.

If a conflict exists, it likely exists between CM and Google, not my GApps package.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
ok, will give it a whirl when it's uploaded.

on a different note, a discussion of Odex vs Deodex for ART compatibility came up in Banks' thread.

in this link (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/54188/), it's mentioned that Odex is not required for ART and it's not preferred because Odex files have elements that are device specific

there's also a link from David Hacker (dhacker29) to his ART compatible Deodexed GApps

Just thought of something... You have NO camera, right? The ROM should have come with the AOSP camera. MY GApps are really just supposed to add the Google Photosphere functionality to the AOSP camera. It sounds like the dev has completely left camera support out of his ROM. There's most likely some supporting files that needs to be added. However, I still wonder why the ROM dev left camera support out completely.

EDIT: Never mind. It appears to be there. I think I just broke it.:o

Hi,

How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

SOLVED with a fresh install of an old CM11 version with old gapps..23 feb, then with titanium backup I restore all my apps!

Now my phone deep sleep like a kid
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] VonZigmas:
Any advantage of installing the apps via the .zip, rather than manually? Like say I want YouTube, is there any difference of how will it perform when comparing the one flashed with gapps and the one downloaded manually from google play? If there's absolutely no difference, I might as well just get the smallest package and install things manually, since there's too much stuff that I do not need in the more complete packages.

Plus, wouldn't doing it manually be actually an advantage, since the phone doesn't have to keep the 'factory' version of the app on the memory?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jorceshaman:
The apps in the zip go into the system partition which doesn't affect the space you use for other things. But as soon as the app updates from the Play Store, it will be taking up space. If you only want to install these once and not keep updating when new zips are available, you can probably go ahead and get the smallest package and install the rest from the store.

I like to update when new zips are available to save space in my usable memory.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] neoramasay:
Performance wise, it wouldn't make any difference, unless your phone is older and total storage space is a concern - Also keep in mind that the memory on your phone is divided up into a few different areas, in particular are /system and /data. The /system section is where Android itself and all "factory" or "system" apps are installed. The /data section is where downloaded apps go.

Example: I have an original Moto Droid Razr Maxx (xt912 vzw) - my system partition is under 700 MB, so for me keeping stuff out of /system is important for me, where as if someone owns a more recent device, you typically have 1.5GB (more than double what I have) of /system space, so using the larger GApps packages is fine, since so much can be loaded into /system without concern.

The Data partition is where downloaded apps go, so this is where everything that's NOT put into /system will go. Again, older phones have less space in /data, so loading a bunch of stuff in here is OK, but again, you also don't want to have a ton of UNUSED space in /system, because aside from your OS install and system apps, that's ALL that can be put in there, so saving space on that section doesn't really accomplish anything.

You'd want to do some research on how much space your /system partition is on your specific device, and take a look at your rom's space used, and make a call on which GApps package you would want to use from there, in order to be most efficient for your device.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] VonZigmas:
Ohhh, so by flashing these gapps everytime there's an update, I keep free space on my data? That's neat. You have to just flash it on top, right? Also, how often does this update? I imagine more rarely than individual updates are released on Google Play, so how does it work out if I have a few apps updated through there and then flash this? Does it just simply delete the app from data and update the system one?

I'm running a Galaxy S3 and it seems it has 1.5GB for the /system. Since Paranoid Android isn't a really heavy ROM, I guess I'm looking at more space than I'll ever need..?

Anyway, gotcha. I guess I'll have to figure out how do you do the selective app install. Can the same text file be used for any future updates, so I don't have to make a new one every time I update?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] neoramasay:
[MENTION=6320626]VonZigmas[/MENTION] - yes, the same file can be used for multiple installs of GApps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jorceshaman:
Yes, you can flash on top. And the updates have slowed down for this version because he's focusing on Lollipop. If you switch to a Lollipop ROM they'll be once a week.

Edit: He's done lots of nice coding for the installs. It should delete any versions from /data that it's placing in /system.

Wait what?!.. Im using this pne on lollipop for a week didnt gpt here from a google search but didnt checked the version..

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Dkadr1:
Why Configupdater.apk is not included in any package?

I've looked for info about it on the internet and is indeed a Google system app in most devices and these are the things i've found it does:

From another user in XDA:

It looks like an app to automatically update certificates, firewall configuration, premium sms list (you'll be warned if an app sends a premium sms), time zone information and SELinux configuration. I'm not sure why firewall and SELinux configuration need to be updated but the ability is there now.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PxGold:
Once you wipe the system you have to reinstall everything that goes into the system folder. That includes re-flashing the system OS and then the GAPPS. I would also wipe the cache and Dalvik partitions.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] neoramasay:
You could also be looking at an incorrectly built ROM that has GApps included (which is a violation of Google's terms somewhere!). PA GApps checks for this and terminates the installation with an error message including direction to wipe /system if it finds different GApps already installed.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] vasileios:

setting > privacy guard > advanced > google play services > disable wakeup, keep awake & auto start > reboot

systemupdateservice will disappeared or try out newer version 7.0.97 google play services or wait for next version.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
7.0.97 still has the SystemUpdateService wakelock issue. This issue affects custom ROMs that have disabled the SystemUpdateService service.

I know that many people recommend disabling wakeup for Play services as the fix, but I strongly disagree

This is too heavy handed of an approach.

Wakelocks are in general not bad. You need them for certain functionality when the phone screen is off.

What's bad is EXCESSIVE wakelocks

Play services uses wakelocks for other things

By disabling ALL ability for Play services to wake your phone, you are introducing other adverse effects

You really only have ONE problematic wakelock here, and it is the SystemUpdateService wakelock, so why not just target that specific wakelock alone?

My solution? Use Wakelock Terminator (Root Required), and block the SystemUpdateService wakelock from Google Play services. BAM. Wakelock eliminated, while the other functionality of Play Services is not affected.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] khanmein:
this wakelock cause the battery drained. i didn't affected with any adverse effects. blamed play store + android cos ios & itunes app store got not such wakelock. i'm waiting my phone dead only change to iphone.

battery is more important than those play services. privacy guard implemented for a reason & y don't u fully utilize? u sound like privacy guard is pretty useless. disable wakeup & keep awake is more than enough.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] LeftyGR:
No. However if you noticed the links in the LP gapps op are still up. They'll still be updated, just no decision on if the thread will be reopened...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I don't doubt that Privacy Guard works. Privacy guard isn't implemented into the system so that you can use such a heavy handed approach to deal with the problem.

Let me draw a parallel from this wakelock to a faucet leak. Your faucet is leaking and dripping. The root cause may be a gasket or o-ring that needs to be replaced. But instead of dealing with the faucet leak or even plugging the leak (band-aid fix), you shut off the water main. Sure, you resolved the leak. Now you can't flush the toilet, shower, or do the dishes in the kitchen.

That's exactly what you're doing by blocking Play Services entirely. The recent issues with Play Services are about SystemUpdateService alone. So why not deal with that problem alone?

This is XDA, and honestly I expect a bit more critical thinking. It's important to know what Play Services does. One important thing it has is the location API that developers of 3rd party apps can leverage. It handles location calls from 3rd party apps--so when your favorite weather widget, or Yelp or Foursquare/Swarm or Facebook wants background location updates, Play Services is responsible. Play Services is also responsible for Google Now location updates--background weather, traffic info.

Now this doesn't mean Google Now can't work, but if you disallow Play Services to work in the background, a lot of things could potentially be broken. Just because you might not notice the adverse effects you may have created doesn't mean you didn't create any. There are hundreds of bugs being fixed daily with app updates--do we notice all of those? Likely not.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dannyella:
It's a workaround. Yes, I agree it's a band-aid fix that works for the mean time until a real fix is out by Google or Rom devs. Like he said, it has not have any adverse effect so far or at least for me. Until then it's viable fix. That said, it's already fixed CM in the latest nightly so it should not be long till it get fixed in other Roms.
