To solve the problems with the files .gapps , you could make the script find out where the file .zip is located instead of making it look in /sdcard

Flashing Gapps.zip

if gapps.zip is in /Sdcard1/Gapps.zip, search for the file .Gapps in /Sdcard1

Flashing Gapps-Remove.zip

if Gapps-remove.zip is in /Sdcard1/Gapps-Remove.zip search for the file .Gapps-remove in /Sdcard1

Seriously, how long is this discussion going to go on? [MENTION=4408964]_artem_[/MENTION] If you're not happy with the download speeds, then perhaps it's time to find another provider. None of this is relevant to the topic at hand.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TDSJR:
I meant a Gapps provider. Perhaps you can find one that will cater to your needs. I've not seen a single complaint on this topic, outside of yours, in the 6 months I've been using these Gapps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Link_of_Hyrule:
Really like the removal tool seems like it should just be part of the gapps installer to consolidate things a bit.

Question why does my 32GB Galaxy Nexus complain it didn't have enough space to install some of the gapps when I have almost 20GB free?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Gu$houn*:
I think it's because of those gigabytes are not used for system partition, it's for user's data.

did't help

hi

you guys made gapps remover options in your gapps. it is very useful.

but

for some people it is not useless.

because some people like to install stock gapps. but they cannot select particular apps to install.

all they can is install full package, then apply the remover.

if they have got low memory then the stock gapps will install partially. they may not get what they wanted.

can you guys create a option to install particular apps...( currently there is a option to install particular apps. but not for all )

my suggestion is made a zip file to flash before gapps is very usefull and less troubles.( like gapps remover, before flashing gapps...kind of aroma installer )

Just saying, most devs don't appreciate mirrors. You should ask first.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I find your approach on this to be very insulting! The services I use are the top 3 distribution service on XDA. They provide a free service to users and developers. NO money changes hands. I DO NOT MAKE A SINGLE DIME for the GApps service I provide. I don't even have a 'Donation' link in my signature!

This is just my small way of giving back to the community. Perhaps its time for you to find a 'less greedy' GApps provider. Please DO NOT continue this discussion here. It's not welcome any longer.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
As I've mentioned several times in the past, making an Aroma installer would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, due to the system partition memory detection system I use in my scripts. Ain't gonna happen.

Let me think about this... I still like the idea of /sdcard/, however I could have the installer check there first and then check the folder than contains the zip if it's not in /sdcard/.

In FAQ #2 I provide a link that explains the Android File System structure. Total memory size on your device does not equal system partition size.

I already provide a method for removing Pico in all GApps packages.

Please read FAQ #3.

This could become a slippery slope, but I'll consider it.

PLEASE DO NOT MAKE MIRRORS for my GApps packages. I spend a LOT of time and effort in uploading all our GApps packages to three different services (over 2GB with most updates). I use the download analytics for these services and your mirror dilutes their value.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
Following the way you removed Pico TTS since we have a replacement by Google for it, I'd suggest to do the same with News & Weather (NewsStand replaces it) and Email/Exchange (Gmail replaces it and can access to external pop3/imap accounts as well)

Speaking about Stock package, of course
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Gmail can't access Exchange accounts, so it is absolutely required. News and Weather widget functionality is not replaced by Newsstand.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Exactly! And, as I always say, Nexus factory images set the standard for these GApps. While I find the News & Weather widget useless, Google still seems to think it has value - that's why it's still there.

And, congrats on 12,000 thanks! Also, thanks for the inspiration on creating the GApps Remover script. I unabashedly 'borrowed' much of the script structure from you past work.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Haha cheers! Happy to help! :)

Right, but some app have to be removed with installer and others with remover. And if you update a rom that contains pico you have to reinstall gapps to remove it and remover to remove others... not so usefull

Would like following additions:

To remove Sun Beam Live Wallpaper as mini/micro gapps don't have it either

browser

To remove stock/AOSP Browser as modular-full is too big with chrome for maguro's system partition. So "Removing Stock/AOSP Browser..." doesn't get triggered even with "browser" in .gapps-modular.

Hey [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] I've understood that I need to uninstall updates before using the remover because of the data partition, but I have a question.

Imagine a scenario where I'm on the Gapps 20140503 and I've updated the Wallet to a newer version.

Next flash I'll use the new Gapps 20140510 that came with the Wallet that I've updated

Can I flash the GappsRemover right after flashed the new Gapps?

Or I need to first wipe dalvik and boot to Android removes the version on the Data before using the GappsRemover?

BTW, nice work on the Remover, congrats
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:

[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] I hate to contradict the gapps master . . but he is saying if he has an active system that is on gapps 5/03 version, will flashing the 5/10 version uninstall the app updated in the /data/app/ location . . which unless I am way off, it will not do. In this case you would have to boot into the ROM with the 5/10 gapps installed. That will delete the play store updates. Then he could boot back to recovery and flash gapps remover.

Am I miss informed?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You're correct. I guess I didn't understand the question.

I would still recommend flashing immediately afterwards, but then remove the /data version using Android methods AFTER rebooting.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] molesarecoming:
i think slimroms patches gapps for the trds feature.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I have not reviewed that GApps package, however the PA PhotoSphere Addon module is 100% stock - no modifications - and includes the Gallery/Camera for every Nexus device (since the binaries are different for each device). Only the correct Camera/Gallery is installed on your Nexus device, however.

EDIT: Took a quick peek. The slimroms version doesn't include the Nexus 7 (2012) or the Nexus 7 (Deb) camera/gallery. Although the binaries are different between Flo and Deb, it's more likely due to the different Android base, so it's probably not a big deal. The Nexus 7 (2012) Gallery only gives the user back the ability to sync with picasa, so it's probably not a big deal to most users either. I can't comment if there are other modifications made to their package as I'm not familiar.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] phadly:
maybe you need to mount system on recovery then reflash again..
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
First of all, which GApps package did you flash? Second, what ROM (please provide link)? Third, when you installed, did the installer report errors or did it say "Installation complete!"?

Also, when you say not showing, do you mean they're not installed or that they're just not showing in the app drawer? You can verify if an app is installed by going to Settings > Apps > {scroll to ALL}.

You can also reinstall GApps without reinstalling your ROM if you want to verify whether there were errors during the install process.

When you flash gapps - ROM browser gets deleted, when you any time later flash new ROM nightly browser is back because it's included into ROM, just use any root uninstaller or TB to remove stock browser after flashing nightly, gapps remover doesn't delete stock browser
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] PedroM.CostaAndrade:
the gapps remover no but the gapps yes, because of the init.d script...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] _artem_:
I never delete data version, today I installed new Google now launcher version, when you release new gapps with that new Google now launcher version I will just flash that new gapps, then flash remover in order to delete 16 gapps'es that I don't need and when I then boot into system and open Google play - installed - Google now launcher I will only have open option, no delete option and I won't have updated launcher in data partition. So it's not true what you say here...

I only would have to delete those updates manually if I manually update any gapps package that I then stop using and would remove it by flashing gapps remover, only then I will have it as user app installed, because gapps remover removes system apk.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] AndrasLOHF:
It is normal for the full stock gapps package to not include the everything necessary for HDR+ on Nexus 5. I figured using the full stock package would have contained everything but HDR+ crashed until I flashed the extra camera package. I dug into the zips and noticed the camera package contained libs not in the full stock zip.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
It never registered with me until I read your message, but you're correct that the 2 HDR support files from the Nexus 5 factory image are only in Stock GApps and the Camera Addon.

I will try and get another update out in the next 24 hours that moves these 2 files back into the GApps packages so users who prefer to install the camera from the Play Store will have proper HDR support. Thanks for the heads up!

Everyone should understand that this does not magically add HDR support for every camera. Your hardware still needs to support it.

Thanks for the work!

Ok, I see the OP has no donate link. Thanks button is nice and all, but...

Thanks! I know it clutters the thread a little, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who finds this to be a fabulous service. Wanted to say so clearly.

Since finding this thread, I have had much better results playing with gapps than when I was using this-or-that hacked-up stripped or personal preference version that some ROM or another pointed to. Whether I use them on a compatible device untouched, or strip em myself for my legacy devices, these are flat-out the best gapps around in my opinion.

The always-current status here is awesome. The extra tools and scripts are fabulous. The ongoing support from the OP and others makes it even better. The only thing that would improve it for me would be a specific tool/script to strip out the thumb2-reliant apps/libs for my armv6 needs... but I can handle that myself. The existing scripts are very well written and can be modified to my own uses without much trouble.

Again, thanks so much for the time, effort, and bandwidth needed to keep this up-to-date and slick!
