Please take this to a Q&A thread. You yourself have said several times that it doesn't matter if it's installed via the PA GApps package or the Play Store, meaning all those logs you keep posting and this entire multi-page conversation don't belong here. You are having Google problems, not PA GApps problems.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
There is a known bug in the Google Sync process that fails to sync contacts with emoji in it, but your problem is different.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
One more question. Package Manager is NOT a part of GAPPS, it is in the ROM. Isn't it a PA problem?

---------- Post added at 11:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 PM ----------

It's not related to Contacts, it occurs at any Google+ sync. Photos, uploads etc. Also at any actions inside the Google+ app.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
It's a conflict between your ROM and Google, so take it to your ROM thread at the very least.

PA GApps thread != PA ROM thread for your device.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
But somebody here said that he replaced PA GAPPS with ordinary June '14 GAPPS and had no crashes. BTW, he has OMNI, not PA.

PA GApps Update Announcement

PA GAPPS - OCTOBER 23 UPDATE

OCTOBER 23, 2014 - 20141023

Google Play services updated to v6.1.83 (1522025-03x) [Play Services/Games Updater]

- PlayServices/Games Updater is a utility to update Google Play services and Google Play Games (if installed) to the latest and PROPER version for your device. SEE HERE for Complete Details
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] auleu:
its not there
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] rignfool:
Have a thanks...

But don't expect it to be included...

Tkruzze puts together UNMODIFIED gapps...

Using your apk... Would go against his mission statement...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
Does your ROM use non-standard DPI for any of Google apps?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] tcat007:
I use Nano. Curious why Nano is 67mb and the updater is 86mb. I assume I have to install a new updater each time there is a change? So you don't plan on updating the various zip packages, right?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
This has gone on FAR TOO LONG. Please move this discussion to another thread IMMEDIATELY. It is no longer welcome here.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Have you guys noticed Google Search draining a lot of data in the background? I get it that Google NOw is working in the background updating my stocks and my favorite SF Giants scores, but 100mb+ of data in the background? Those better be HD pictures its shoveling in the background. I really don't see WHAT is causing so much drain.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Going forward, Google Keyboard, Camera, and Email will only be installed if it's a Clean Install or if it's updating a previous GApps (system) install. You can update from the Play Store, no problem, you just have to have made the initial install of these apps from PA GApps. Since Google Email has never been included in GApps before, that will mean you'd have to start with a Clean Install to install Google Email with these GApps. I know it's going to be a hassle for some, but it will eliminate all the FC problems and complaints that can happen if the app is converted to a system app. Believe me, this will be better for everyone in the long run.

I've also completely redone the install script to provide much cleaner information to the user on what happened during the installation. I should have the next Alpha update ready sometime tomorrow. As the the Google Now Loauncher issue, I've found and fixed that issue (hopefully) as well. Thanks for your reports!

EDIT: Here's a sample of what the updated log will look like: View attachment pa_gapps.log.txt

Once I get all the 'official' updates from Google I'll do all the requrieed testing and, if everything checks out, add the updates with the next update cycle.

As noted on the OP, GApps packages are updated weekly, generally on the weeknds.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] akarol:
Every time I run the updater, my G Services and Play stay the same version. Never thought it worked.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] huzzam:
I noticed the same, and blocked background data for Google search. So far I think everything's fine...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
That is certainly a possibility, but if you block background data for Google Search, then you no longer get Google Now notifications right? How's it supposed to know when to give you weather updates or commute updates?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] lothaer:
How were you able to get Mini/Micro to install?

Both said I didn't have enough storage space in the System Partition.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
I have had Play Services problems. Don't think it was a PA GAPPs issue once. Was likely my fault. But I always managed to fix things by uninstalling the updates and System app itself and going through SD Maid and deleting the corpses. Then I would run the scans until none were found. Rebooting and wiping cache and dalvik cache afterwards always fixed any install issues. If Play Services won't install it's likely an issue on the install. 99.9% chance. Don't blame the scripts.

Also good luck with the **** ton of Google Apps about to update. I think Google said something about November 3rd being a date to remember about their apps going material.

Hello all,

I'm a newbie at this so I have a question regarding the gapps, which might be a bit amateurish for most of you but still.

Installed 10.2 (cm-10.2_cma-20140913-UNOFFICIAL-ancora) on my Samsung Galaxy W (GT-i8150), it works like a charm, but I get stuck with google services. I installed gapps-jb-4.3-20140726-signed and now I cannot add more google accounts than one. Did some googleing and apparently this is not the correct version of google services and thus the problem occurs (at least it's what I've read), and I was wondering which one should I install then? The second problem with the Galaxy W is it's small internal memory and once I install both of these I can only get a couple of apps from the play store until it says that the storage is full, so in light of that I was wondering is there a smaller package for these google services for my android version (already saw the miniature versions at in the 1st post but they are all for 4.4 Android)

Currently I'm happy with the 10.2 and have no need to upgrade to 11 but if needed let me know. I have to many google accounts and I definitely need to keep them all on my phone.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
[MENTION=4060822]shorto[/MENTION], you could try wiping data/cache/system in recovery and doing a clean rom install with the Pico gapps in the OP. Should work fine with jellybean.

You're welcome and it's the least I could contribute, TKruzze :) Much respect for ya!

Now the extra bit of information in pa_gapps.log is quite helpful. Thanks for the clarification on Google Email and glad you have already resolved the GNL issue. Will try upcoming Alpha update and attach logs for review.

How do I get the updater to update my Gplay Services? I've ran it many times and I don't see my version changing.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Post your pa_update.log if you'd like help.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] siealex:
Install any older version (e. g. 6.1.11), then say OK GOOGLE and type Google Play Services. Google Now will show you a Google Play link. Click this link and update from the market. Or wait two or three days, it will update automatically.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] furbyx92:
You can't , there is a problem with libraries. That's why are not included in zip.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Get the most recent versions of those apps (screenshot showing latest versions below). Make sure the permissions of the extracted libraries are set correctly if you're pushing them manually (0644).

Google+, Hangouts, and Maps are all working with each other now while being installed to /system:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
I followed the instructions to prevent the removal of the stock camera, launcher and mms app but it didn't work!

I tried place .txt files named ".forcenocamera" and ".gapps-stock" (with launcher and mms instructions) but no luck. Then i tried again these two files without any extension name, again no luck. I put these files in the exact same location of the pa gapps zip. I don't know what else to try, can someone tell what i did wrong?

I use CloakworkMod v6.0.5.1 as my custom recovery, may this be the problem?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
u need to put the .forcenocamera file in the /sdcard/ directory. this location may be different in recovery and when your phone is running... so it could be /sdcard/ or /mnt/sdcard0/ or /dev/sdcard, etc etc... it's up to u to find out where exactly is /sdcard/ INSIDE RECOVERY and put the file there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
You mean like this ?

But still no luck :(
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
not sure about the Camera, but "launcher" should be one line inside the file .gapps-stock not part of the file name
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
Can you give an example?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
i see your problem... it's .forcenocamera

NOT

.forceno

n

camera

also, /mnt/sdcard/ may not be the location of /sdcard/ in recovery... on my previous phone it was something like /storage/emulated/0/ or something weird like that...

---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

oh btw... u need to format /system now since there's a backup script running that will automatically install google camera again
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
thanks a lot . it work now :D

but now what about the launcher? I do not want the stock launcher removed. Can you give an example?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
rename your ".gapps-stocklauncher" to ".gapps-stock"

EDIT IT

inside just type

launcher
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
You mean I have to create a txt file in which there is written a launcher, then save with the name .gapps-stock (without the .txt extension only .gapps-stock)?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
here use this... (unzip it first)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
thank you thank you very much for your help

now all goes well

but there is one more question,

if I update the ROM or GAPPS, what should I do to the camera and stock launcher not deleted?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
keep the config file and you will be fine.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Sandivisi:
okay :D thanks

Even though my device isn't fully compatible with these, I want to help out with the alpha testing.

You'll have to forgive the 'pico_armv6kang' current PA Gapps version in the 'dirty' log... I have a post-installer zip specifically for using these lovely Gapps on my armv6 devices. It just overwrites the keyboard lib, remove certain other bothersome apks that aren't covered in the remover scripts, and replace the gms core with the current armeabi -010 version (-012 if I have it from device update.)

It doesn't claim to be pa_gapps in the installer, it just uses the same format for compatibility.

Thanks again for up-to-date Gapps with the best installer coding around.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] AndroidAssassin:
Can someone tell me how I can make my own flashable gapps package jus for personal use so I can jus have it install gplay/search/gmail let's say
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Thanks for sharing. A couple of notes, though.

+CalendarStock, +EmailStock, +GalleryStock, +KeyboardStock are not valid options with the + sign and would actually be interpreted as removals. CalendarStock, EmailStock, GalleryStock, KeyboardStock, although optional for the user to removed, will ALWAYS be removed by the installer when the Google versions are installed, to prevent issues

KeyboadGoogle, as shown in your gapps-config, was missed due to spelling. It should be KeyboardGoogle.

I've pretty much completed the new GApps installer. I'm going to look at adding Presets for Full, Mini, Micro, Nano, and Pico, plus a 'test' option that basically does what this Alpha does and 'simulates' an install.

I'll release another Alpha tomorrow and, assuming no issues, should have working betas out a day or so after that.

Not here they won't. This thread is for the support of PA GApps, not a general discussion thread about GApps.

Hi there,

Recently got my hands on a Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N9100 China, Qualcomm), and since its been bough from China, its missing GApps. This is probably a noob question, but would I be able to install the PA Gapps package, after rooting, even though I haven't installed a custom ROM? i.e the phone has been rooted but I haven't installed a custom ROM since I don't think any are available yet (or If there is one available, I can't find it). Says in the description for PA packages that these work with most "custom" ROM's

Pretty new to this, any help is appreciated!

Removal of apps

Hi.

I use APKSwapper to remove the apps that I dont use in the GAPPS Zip.

It used to work like a charm but last few weeks, i am having some issues.

Even after removing the APKs from the ZIP file and creating another zip, when i flash the new zip file, the apps that i removed are still installed. :(

This never happened before and been happening since the last update.

Any way I can fix this?

The apps whose APKs I removed include

- Geniewidget

- PlayBooks

- Magazine

etc

These were still installed when my phone first booted up. No clue why.

ANy pointers and suggestions are most welcome.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I hit a few roadblocks in adding the new "preset" feature. However, I ended up stumbling upon an idea that will allow me to use a single code-base for ALL GApps packages using the preset feature I'm working on implementing.

This would be HUGE for me in that I would only have to maintain a single installer for all packages. However, it's taking me a bit longer than I anticipated to work out all the bugs. Since this is the last major feature I'm planning to add, I've decided to wait until it's working the way I want before I release. As soon as it's ready, I'll amke an announcement here, but it'll likely be tomorrow, now.
