[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
First off, it's been a busy week for me. I'm completing some work projects before I head out on vacation next week. My time will be limited here the next few weeks. I am, however, still planning on releasing regular weekly updates during this time. In the meantime, I greatly appreciate all those who are and have been offering support in my absence.

Basic functionality is as simple as it's always been. I have added advanced features, but they're all optional. The only one you may want to consider, for certain, is using the Play Services / Play Games Update Module in Post #8 on the OP. Everything else is for tweaking the standard packages to your liking.

HDR functionality is completely hardware dependent. You'll get the same results flashing here or installing from Play Store.

Please post your Recovery log for further assistance.

With the methods I use, the signature remains intact as long as it's installed in System Partition. It wouldn't work as a sideload, but then the app wouldn't function that way, anyway, with the assets removed.

Can you tell me from whence this came? I have no problem updating it, but I'd like to know the source first.

I am adding this information to the OP immediately. While I know some folks who've had no issues flashing after booting, flashing before booting will guarantee a successful install. The only problem is that more than half of users who flash do NOT understand what a Clean install is. They think wiping System is all that's necessary.

The reason I provide stock/AOSP Launcher, Browser, SMS App, Email, and Pico TTS removal options is that our GApps packages include Google alternatives for each of these apps. It's assumed that by removing one or more of these that you're making a choice to use the Google alternative included in our GApps. When you install a GApps package or addon for the Google Camera or Google Keyboard the stock/AOSP versions of these are removed automatically because they MUST be removed in order for the Google versions to function properly.

If I were to add the option for removing the stock/AOSP camera or keyboard, that would mean you'd have NO camera or keyboard installed on your device after a clean install. That, clearly, doesn't make sense to me.

I'm not opposed to bringing back the Email addon. However, I'd need to have a clear understanding of how to prevent the problems that were experienced the last time. If there's a successfull implementation out there, please let me know and I'll check it out. Since I've never used the Email app for my personal use (I only use Gmail), I don't have a lot of incentive or practical use to experiment with it further.

Goo.im is going through another one of their server upgrades. The PA OTA currently relies on goo.im for the GApps OTA. As soon as goo.im is back in operation, things should begin working again. Unfortunately, this could be quite awhile based on past experience.

The problem you're describing has been hinted at in the past. The Galaxy Nexus is a device with rather limited system partition, compared with today's generation of devices. While my GApps installation scripts take care to assure that there is sufficient space to INSTALL the GApps in your system partition, the problem you're describing appears to happen during the BACKUP of your GApps package while installing a ROM update. Apparently, there is not sufficient space available in /tmp (which I believe is actually your device's RAM) to backup all your GApps. Then, during the restore process, the GApps fail to restore properly, causing the problems you describe.

Since I have no control over the backup and restore scripts (they come with your ROM), the only real opportunity to fix this issue would be for my GApps installer to somehow measure the available space in /tmp (your RAM?) and only allow a GApps install that is less than the space in /tmp or in System Partition, whichever is smaller.

The temporary fix would be to further reduce the GApps you're installing. Perhaps my friend [MENTION=4544860]osm0sis[/MENTION] would be willing to help me work out a better solution.
