Every person who has experienced keyboard problems and done a CLEAN flash has reported their issues were solved. If it's not a CM problem (a BIG IF), then a clean flash should take care of your issue. Try this.... 1) Do a complete nandroid, 2) Perform a Factory Reset, 3) Wipe System Partition, 4) Install ROM, 5) Install GApps and addons. If you do find that your problem isn't resolved, then restore your backup and you're right back where you were, having only lost 15-20 minutes. If it does fix your problem, then your issue is resolved.

With 10,000+ downloads per day of the Stock GApps package, I'm sure there would be many reports of problems if the issue was in these GApps.

I don't mind my work being modifed and shared, but I DO mind it being shared or discussed HERE in this forum. Please remove the links and create your own forum for sharing and discussion.

done a nandroid. factory reset 3 times, wipe system partition 3 times (i do this every time i flash a rom to make sure everything is for sure gone), installed rom, installed gapps, problem is still there.

now maybe im stupid and im reading this last part wrong but when you say restore your backup...backup of what? rom or something else? restoring the rom isnt what i want to do since im trying to flash from 4.4.2 to 4.4.3. so fix my stupid. ive done the rest of what you said before you replied since i do that by habit

Thanks for this great gapps pack.

I have a question.

I have installed mini modular 20140615 and google camera addon 20140603 (I think).

How do I get my stock camera back? It doesn't look like the remover has an option for the removal of google camera.

Thought if I could use the remover I could remove it (in which case I'd probably not have any camera app). Then if I flashed my rom again, I'd get the default camera back.

I have updated my rom now without installing the camera addon (it was installed on my previous update). But the google camera is still the default / only camera installed.

I am using a Motorola RAZR Maxx XT910. Currently running CM11 06/16 2014 Nigtly (umts_spyder).

Thank you again. Great package.

FWIW, I always had issues running the stock GAPPS on AOSB on my mom's S3. I'm pretty sure it's something on their end. So, because of that, I've always used the full package on her phone.

Is it just me or does Google keyboard crash sometimes?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
Ok back on topic...

1. Will you ever add google keyboard to remover options? (TB stopped deleting keyboard... I now have to remove keyboard apk manually and then remove its orphaned data in TB. And that's after every single rom nightly... Because of 2.)

2. Will I ever be able not to reflash gapps upon every rom nightly as it was before separate gapps remover was introduced?

3. Will I be able again to flash gapps just once and will it be kept upon rom nightly updates, when remover gets integrated into one single gapps package?

PA GApps Interim FIX Announcement

I discovered a derp in the addon.d backup script that MAY prevent your GApps from properly restoring after a ROM update. It turns out that this derp has actually been present for some time (likely since the introduction of GApps Remover). Since I haven't seen any reports of problems (that I recall, anyway), I'm going to hold off on reissuing updated GApps packages until the next scheduled update - this coming weeekend. I have, however, created a zip file that will perform an in-place repair of your addon.d backup script to prevent the problem from happening to you in the future.

Description of Problem

:

The backup script will fail to properly restore your GApps under the following scenario:

You have used GApps Remover to remove the stock/AOSP Launcher, MMS app, or PicoTTS using the keywords "launcher", "mms", or "pico" in your .gapps-remove file.

The zip file below will REPAIR your addon.d backup script if you have flashed as indicated above, plus it will PREVENT the problem from occurring should you decide to use GApps Remover in the future. In fact, [HIGHLIGHT]

I would recommend anyone who uses or plans to use GApps Remover to flash the zip

[/HIGHLIGHT]. It's very small and will completely prevent the problem from happening in the future. Of course, all future builds of GApps packages will have the fix included.

NOTE: There is no need to flash this if you have installed any of the 0620 GApps packages - Fix is included

Highly recommended if you are still on an earlier GApps package.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Haha that's awesome! I just started using Remover since I realized the GN's /tmp partition was too small to handle the complete Stock addon.d backups since ~05-31 (likely due to Chrome continuing to grow). What you described happened to me last night but I assumed ROM issue and clean flashed. :p

I was overdue for a clean flash anyway; so great that you're on the ball though. :)

I believe this can be done by the gapps script to remove the Launcher3 app & the stock messaging app like the Stock gapps does.

Works wonderfully

I am using it with an AOKP 4.3 nightly on a VZW Galaxy Nexus. Works absolutely great. Best experience I have had with a Google Apps package. Thanks guys.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
As you found out, flashing any GApps package on top of a stock odexed ROM will likely cause issues. Our GApps packages (really, ANY GApps package) are designed for custom, deodexed ROMs only.

The general rule of thumb I use is that our GApps are compatible with any ROM that requires an external GApps package. If a ROM comes standard with the GApps built in, you're likely stuck using the GApps that came with the ROM.

There is a YouTube app update available today that won't update. Gives an error saying the App is already installed. are we going to have this issue on all apps that are flashed in these zips? I was able to update to the latest 4.4 Play Store App via sideloading.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I just received the update with no problems on my devices.

Google Play Store has been notorious lately for errors while updating or installing apps. They are not caused by GApps in any way. If you go to Google's Play Store support page, you'll see hundreds of people having the exact same issue.

I'll probably do an update with the new Play Store and YouTube shortly if you want to wait.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
Why not downloading vending.apk (play store), and just tap on it and install? Then titanium integrate it into rom (so you don't have multiply versions installed) - did so and no problem here, I always update play store by just installing it

I'm not in any rush. Was just curios if it was a GApps issue or just a Play Store issue. Thanks for the quick response! As a suggestion, you should add Chrome to the Full zip :)

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] please put the gapps log in the same place that we have the zip ;) like the gapps remover and the log from play services ;) thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I've heard from a little birdie that if you clear cache and data from the PA OTA app that it will resolve the problem. Let me know if it doesn't and I'll get word back to the dev.

Contact sync issues on 4.4.3 are rampant and have nothing to do with GApps. Users running stock are also having the problem. It's a random issue that Google needs to resolve.

You can do that yourself. Check out the Advance options or GApps Remover - both links are in my sig.

Google removed MediaUploader.apk (also known as Picasa Uploader) from all factory images when they introduced Android 4.4.1. It has not been an officially supported Google app in over 6 months. Is that what you're looking for?

Google Gallery, available as an option in Google Stock GApps supposedly has sync support for Picasa, but I've never used it myself.

Can you get me more info? What does it do? What Google app directly replaces it?

It's impossible to do with an edify based installer. However, once the new GApps roll out, that is the plan.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
thanks man, you are doing a really god job ;)

@TKruzze

when you merge the remover and the gapps package you should bypass the installation of the apps inside of the file .gapps_remover instead of install and remove ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bleez99:
Regarding the merge of the remover.

Gotta disagree with the comment above about simply bypassing the installation of the apps listed in .gapps_remove. First it's a remover. Second the remover does nice things like removing the stock AOSP email and exchange apps. For me, and I suspect others, they are useless and unreliable.

When dialog fails, it's time for violence.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
not too sure. it's at version 0.0.1... when i try to run it all i get is a blank "wallpaper" and nothing happens. i'm guessing it works together with trebuchet (which was already removed). maybe someone else can confirm.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
When the new GApps are introduced, the Remover will be gone as a separate zip and process. You'll have one file (.gapps-config) where you'll list the apps you don't want installed and they won't ever get installed. PLUS, you can change the apps you want installed any time by simply re-installing the GApps package with a new config file - no more having to wipe the system before changing options. Removing the stock/AOSP apps will also be included as they are today.

The 4 GApps packages we have today will likely remain the same and the experience will not change if you're used to flashing the current packages with no config options. With the new packages, you could even install the Google Stock GApps package with nothing but the Play Store, if you wanted. This will also allow users with limited System partitions to be able to fine-tune a GApps package to fit on their particular device.

I'm also looking at making the apps you select both inclusive or exclusive. In other words you can select the apps you DON'T want installed, or you can select ONLY the apps you DO want installed. This, however, may not happen or may not be in the initial release.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] bleez99:
So the new GApps package will give me the option to remove Email and Exchange apks and make that stick through CM nightlies? If I understand correctly, it's currently SMS, launcher, calendar, keyboard, etc...

When dialog fails, it's time for violence.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] inffy:
Says the same here "Not available on your country" (Finland).

I think the one in the gapps package is named differently and that is the reason it won't replace the old one, and also that seems to be the reason that it doesn't support Exchange which is pretty strange.
