The installer will append 'browser' to an existing .gapps-stock or create .gapps-stock if it doesn't exist. There won't be 2 versions. This file doesn't haven't to be pretty (not case sensitive or properly spaced). If it contained 'LaUnCHermmS', it would bypass the removal of the launcher and MMS app. Even if the user had 'browser' in there, all I'd be doing is adding it again which would be fine.

I know you're looking to maintain the removal of the stock browser, even on a clean install, but adding a new set of install options would be somewhat complicated and likely used by very few.

However, once you've installed GApps, you could go back and edit the .gapps-stock and remove all the 'browser' text and then all subsequent ROM updates would remove the Stock/AOSP browser as you'd like.

Yes, I could to that, but it would increase the installer size by 30MBs, since I'd have to add a second copy of Chrome. I'm just not sure it's worth doing that since the vast majority of Stock GApps users won't even face this issue.

All good feedback, though. Thanks for the input!

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iXNyNe:
Actually you could install chrome to /data from the /optional folder in the current zip. I think you might want to skip the lib files though if you're doing that method.

This way you wouldn't need two copies of chrome in the installer.

The question then it's how to handle users who don't want chrome installed at all vs those who want it installed in /data

I still think if you maintained a single pack with a 'priority list' that installed apps in order until all but 10mb is used that would solve some ****.

Then the .gapps file could be up to the user to list in order what apps they want installed to override the default priority order and anything they don't include in their list they don't get.

If they include chrome their default browser is removed (assuming there's room for chrome)

Of course the base ( framework and market app) would be mandatory, but anything that's available in the market could be optional.

The only real downfall there is with only one package it would be a large download every time for everyone.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
While I don't understand the need of installing anything to /data (why really, just install from the playstore at that point or restore via TiBu) you can just place chrome in its own directory in the zip and do an ifelse statement to distinguish whether it goes to either /system or /data. Leave the libs packed in the apk and duplicate them within an other folder so if installed to system they also are installed.

This is kinda how aroma gets done usually. Just need a value somewhere to check or file location to verify like a file /data/.chrome2data or some such to make it work or not work.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Unfortunately, that won't work with my GApps packages. The reason is, I extract (remove) the libs from the apk. This is also how Google does it for all the apps in their Nexus factory images.

Doing it this way actually reduces the installed size of my GApps packages by 40-50MB+. Even if I were to leave the libs in just for Chrome, the installed GApps size would increase by 20MB - and create size issues for even more users. The very reason I chose to make Chrome the 'odd man out' is because it's the single largest app included in GApps and therefore was the simplest method to deal with this complex problem.

That was the idea I had originally, however the complexity of rewriting the installer would be significant - almost as complicated as making an Aroma installer - and not something I have the time to attack right now.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] claytonjn:
Not that I'm trying to give something even more time-consuming to think about, but all solutions could be solved with a combination of Aroma and OpenDelta. I don't even know if that's possible to be honest. The advantage or Aroma is that the user can pick whatever they want, but the disadvantage is having huge updates to download every time Google updates an app. OpenDelta would circumvent that by allowing only the changed files to be downloaded and patching the .zip on the device. Then (other than the initial download) you'd have even smaller downloads and a more universal solution without having to maintain all the separate packages. You could even have mini, micro, etc built into Aroma with an additional custom option.

Maybe over the summer if I have some free time I'll look into how feasible setting that up would be.

Even the new update function in Play Store (tap the version in About) doesn't show there's an update to 4.6.16. Are we sure .17 was meant for public consumption? It's pretty rare to see something Android Police hasn't done an article on already.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] distracto:
Just wanted to say thanks for all your work on these updates
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] aamadorj:
I was wondering the same as you. I found many weird references when I searched for Play Store 4.6.17.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
<sigh>I personally verified the legitimacy of the app before I included it in GApps (AS I ALWAYS DO). I verified the signature and can assure everyone the app came directly from Google and has not been modified in any way.

While I have great respect for the work and information that Android Police provides, I wasn't aware that they were the official arbiter of everything Google. While they generally provide article updates on significant app upgrades, they often will ignore minimal updates, such as an update from 4.6.16 to 4.6.17. They also seem to be somewhat quiet on the weekends, which is when this update surfaced.

It has ALWAYS been Google's practice to stage update rollouts. How many times have you read about an app update, gone to the Play Store, and found you couldn't download it. That's likely why you haven't been notified of the update. Finally, even the Android Police article on the 4.6.16 Play Store update notes: "Rather than wait for Google to push this download to your devices, which can take days..."
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Sorry, wasn't questioning the legitimacy or your work. I know you're diligent and only include verified, signed APKs. More just wondering if it was another Dogfood version we had on our hands. :good:

List of dependecies

Hi, I want to have lightweight ROM, so I modifying gapps package little bit (remove apk I don't need before flash), because I need some apk which are only on biggest gapps package, however, I need only about 25% of apks. I can remove apks from zip with no problem, however there is a lot of libs left. I suppose, there are needed only for apks in google package, so If I remove them, I can remove libs too. My question is - is there on internet any list of dependecies which google libs are needed by which apks, so I can find out which libs can be safely deleted when I remove several apks? Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
The zip file below contains an html file which should give you the full representation of all the Play Store apps included in Google Stock GApps, along with the required libs. Keep in mind that apps are always changing and the libs often change when an app updates as well. In other words, while this is a valid representation today, it will likely become invalid as applications are updated. This is also a service I will not likely provide on a regular basis, but since I had a few minutes I am making it available this time.

While I certainly have no qualms or issues with those who want to modify these GApps for their own personal use, I would really like to limit the discussion of modding PA GApps here in this thread as that is beyond the scope and purpose of this thread.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
In the package details section, I provide the Google Play Store links to every single app in the packages. You should be able to find the info in the 'What's New' section. Beyond that, I don't have much insight.

If you're looking to enable Google Photo Sync, you can find that in Settings > Accounts > Google > {account name}. Also, all camera settings are in the camera app. Tap the screen to bring up settings on screen.

The standard I use for inclusion in our GApps is whether or not the app is standard on most Google Nexus devices. I'm thinking that QuickOffice might be included once Android 4.4 is released.

I'm getting FCs on Hangouts when refreshing, I'm able to send messages, but cannot receive any.

I was blaming the updates, thought there might be a conflict with some updated libs, but if no one else has any problems, all I can think of is that my phone shut down because of low battery and that's what's been causing my issues? And I've cleared dalvik and fixed permissions with no luck.

Thanks for your great work, I'm downloading the update and we'll see how it goes.

As @UnitedOceanic suggested, wiping the data and/or cache for the problem app is often the best way to fix issues with an app that's misbehaving.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] s1m4an:
Thanks guys, that's what I was thinking, but I was getting FCs on com.google.apps.gapps which was confusing me.

First I thought about removing my Google account and re-add ingredients but it seemed like too much hassle. So I started wiping data to different gapps and finally wiping Google framework which did the trick.

Still I'm guessing that the low battery shutdown caused some data loss which caused the issues I was facing.

What is the purpose of replacing the AOSP keyboard with stock one? Aren't they exactly the same in functionality?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Since the Google Keyboard is in the Play Store, it will likely be updated and maintained better than the AOSP version.

It's also the same keyboard that comes stock on Nexus devices. To avoid duplication and confusion, we elected to replace the AOSP version when installing GApps.

I'm having trouble with Youtube on my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi. It won't load the sidebar and it will just show something on the line: "An error has occurred" or something like that. Basically, I can see the "What to watch" video list, but I can't possibly click on "My Subscriptions" and all of the other stuff.

Funny thing is that I can log in & out just fine, as well as watch videos, with absolutely no issue. I have tried anything I could, like reinstalling gapps, clearing cache and delvik cache, re-logging with my google account, disabling youtube and clearing all the data. Only thing left is a full wipe, but I would really like to avoid that.

Ah, I'm running the official PA 3.99. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated!
