I mean with all this incorrect package name mess (I've encountered it before when n I've switched between AOSP and Google apps), I'm assuming the solution would be to somehow change the packagename.

Edit: This is the error I get in a logcat when I try to install from Play.

Thanks for this, and especially for including the correct Exchange version. Some of us wouldn't have known how to do that. It installed fine for me, only had to create a new account.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I'm really at a loss to explain what's happening. I looked at the Recovery log and the install seemed to execute witout any issues. I also don't know what you mean by "all this incorrect package name mess" as I've never experienced or heard of anything like that.

The thing that is strange is that the installer removes '/system/app/Email.apk', which is the stock/AOSP version included in most ROM's. The package name for this app is 'com.android.email'. So, if my installer has deleted the apk, why is the name still showing up? Can you use a Root Explorer and look in /system/app? Check to see if Email.apk and Exchange2.apk are still in there? Also check to see if EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk are there as well.

You're supposed to find that Email.apk and Exchange2.apk are NOT there and have been replaced by EmailGoogle.apk and Exchange2Google.apk. If you're seeing that, then something else in your system may have become corrupted and a clean flash might be in order. If, however, that's NOT what you're seeing, the problem could be on my end. If that's the case, let me know what ROM you're using and I'll check it out as well.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
TiBU will cause those errors by somehow cross-linking the Google and AOSP packages when you try to convert Google's to system app when both are installed.

Solution is to delete them all (Email, Exchange2, EmailGoogle, Exchange2Google and corresponding package names) from /system/app /data/app /data/data and /data/dalvik-cache then reboot the ROM to let it sort its **** out, and then reboot to recovery and flash your package.

TKruzze, first many thanks for your work. Second, a bit question. How you make to separate libs files from app? For example, PlusOne. I've tried to move lib folder from apk to /system/lib (in Ubuntu, using default app to manage zip files) but apk is unstable or not recognized by the system.

Thanks again.

The system booted smoothly and every thing is running well. I am on ART runtime.

Thanks to TKruzze for his continual splendid and prompt work.

I was having fcs of Google email. So switched to PA GAPPS STOCK 4.4.3, by wiping system and flashing ROM etc. Now Google email is stable as is everything else.

I use a file manager on my PC like 7zip to extract the libs without extracting the whole apk and while at it, delete the whole lib folder that remains. Then push modified lib free app to /system/app and push newly liberated libs to /system/lib. set permissions, reboot and profit!

gapps-remover question:

if the stock gapps package removes the AOSP browser already, when would I ever need to specify removing the stock browser in my gapps-remover script?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Fell asleep last night. To continue things, I don't see any AOSP email related things in /system/app/. I'm on OmniROM. Actually I've had similar issues on OmniROM before when switching between AOSP and Google apps. May be worth checking out.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jawz101:
I'm guessing since they both have the string of characters "gallery" the script removed both. Especially since his instructions say commas and stuff between items you want to remove aren't necessary.

The script isn't too fancy. Ggallery will remove both because they both contain the string "gallery"

I suggest changing Ggallery to Gphotos or something so the name for Gallery isn't the base word for GGallery.

In short, [MENTION=2813649]ktru[/MENTION]zze change the names in the script to be

SGallery and GGallery

Or

Gallery and GPhotos

Update: on the same note, the script won't do the opposite and remove the AOSP gallery.

Regarding this error:

It seems that some recoveries without a properly formatted /etc/fstab file won't let busybox do the simple "mount /system" command... because without a usable fstab busybox can't figure out what to mount where.

I used this one, (use as a template, adjust to your partitions as needed.) and pushed it to /etc/fstab in recovery (chmod 644 /etc/fstab after pushing)

Then the pa_gapps flashed fine with no errors.

OP, have you the slightest idea how to resolve my issue? Promise me you'll look for a solution. I've wiped upteen times and I have no clue what's causing this package name issue.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Nope. I've been doing it for a while since [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] released his awesome packages (examining the wizardry he does with these is how I learned of it) and they update fine via Play Store just like his Gapps do :)

I'm not sure about adding stuff to them but something tells me it would break the sig.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] lynnux:
Maybe it's a signature issue? Your error message from before said "06-20 22:52:19.329 879 917 W PackageManager: New package has a different signature: com.android.email".

I'm also on OmniRom (manta), and at one point OmniSwitch was fc'ing for some of us after it was upgraded. The problem was a signature issue, android can apparently mess up signatures when dirty flashing. The only fix was a clean install of Omni. Which is probably good to do every once in a while anyways.

A separate question: The new email installed fine for me, but when I go to Play Store to the new Email, it doesn't show as installed. Even though my version is the new one, 6.3.xxx. So I'm not going to get the incremental upgrades through the Play Store, only when the PA Gapps is upgraded and I flash it. Maybe this'll change at some point. Strange, but it works for me.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Well, it's a major issue that the dumb thing keeps the signature despite me uninstalling it. Where does Android store package names and signatures? I've reformatted for this issue alone multiple times. And I'm not doing it again. Talk about a ridiculous issue. Nothing against anyone, but the issue itself is really starting to piss me off big time. There has to be some file I can delete somewhere to set things straight.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gravedigger76:
Few comments

Ones Google email add-on is added I had to clear app cache and app data via tibu because in systems/apps even with force stopping exchange service did not allow me to clear app data. Without it it was FCing.

In app store email still showing as not installed. That means no updates? :( (See screenshot) I think this is the biggest issue?

If I have to re_flash gaps again does my new Google email client go away? And I have to flash addon again which may mean again having to clear data and re_synch everything?

Any help/answers?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
This is tied into my issue. I'd bet your packagename is com.android.email, too. There must be some way to remove the old signature without wiping. I'm sick of wiping myself. Wish there was some way around this. There likely is, it's just going to take some research.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Can you upload your packages.xml located in /data/system/ so I can check it out?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gravedigger76:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] MikeRL100:
Thanks. But it pointed to com.android.email. I changed that and another file next to it to com.google.android.email. No good. Issue persisted. Thus far. I'm going to sleep soon and maybe try more tomorrow morning. I'll still upload it if you're curious.

I have the same exact thing. But I'd bet if you went to Settings > Apps > All you'd see com.android.email, not com.google.android.email.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] gravedigger76:

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
Okay just installed OmniROM, GApps, and Email addon on my N5 and was getting the same issue too. Got shown the wrong package name, and the email app showed up as not installed on the Play Store.

I looked through packages.xml and found quite a bit of "com.android.email" in there, replaced them all with "com.google.android.email", saved, put back in /data/system/ with fixed permissions (read and write set on Owner and Group only so it shows up as rw-rw----), rebooted, and all fine now. Even shows up as installed on the Play Store.

DO A NANDROID FIRST BEFORE MAKING CHANGES TO IT. When I did this, I got a Setup Wizard FC message but after going into Settings from the Notification drop I pressed the home button and everything is fine now.

Screenshots showing, before, after, and Play Store, along with my packages.xml zipped attached.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Guys that are having the issues, you're telling me you didn't mess with TiBU at any point, and not even a clean flash of ROM and GApps fixed it? TiBU is the only time I've seen this.

Interesting! Must be how TiBU messes things up too. I wonder what's causing it in your cases.. :confused:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] simon_lefisch:
Bump
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] SpasilliumNexus:
I'm not sure what was going on until I installed OmniROM to see. Right now I don't see anything relating to packages.xml in the backup scripts in neither ROM or GApps zips. Then again, I'm a total newbie to this kind of stuff so I may be looking at the wrong things or places haha.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Just a hunch but I think they're supposed to be automatically created and maintained by Dalvik and/or the Package Manager.

TiBU messing it up makes perfect sense, since it's probably performing some search-and-replace mojo a little haphazardly when converting a user app to system. How it's happening for you guys out of nowhere is a bit of a mystery.

That rename-package entry fix is a good find. Maybe something that could be turned into a flashable fix.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
it's a bit redundant, but still comprehensive for all the PA GApps packages.

for Stock, not needed, but other packages don't automatically remove AOSP browser. still, they do have advanced options to remove during install.

can be useful if you didn't know of the install options during original install. then you can purge it.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] NLS:
Is this still "compatible" with people that don't have too much time to read and just want a working and updateable complete (according to their device) GApps package to accompany a AOSP ROM?

I am reading too much scripting, editing, extra package that needs to be added etc. and I wonder if this turned to "geek only" process.

While I am a geek for like infinite years, ex-dev etc. I am one of those geeks that have a professional life and family and really don't have time to go deep if needed.

(for example my device now runs hot and freezes and cannot bother to look what's wrong, I just dropped the use of the custom kernel)

I am in a 4.4.2 GApps version, also on a 4.4.2 CM11 nightly. To be sure I won't get problems I will clean-flash the latest 4.4.4 of both (because really I cannot handle misbehaving and drill down to what's wrong).

So: If I go back to the OP posts and follow instructions and FAQ (which is as much as I can invest), will I be ok?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zandm7:
There's no real difference between 4.4.3 6/20 and 4.4.4 6/20, right? Like, there should be no problem flashing 6/20 4.4.3 on a 4.4.4 ROM?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Amro90:
You will be fine with just installing the GApps package. There are some extra features that involve doing some extra stuff, mainly the use of GApps remover script. You can use that for removing the included apps that you don't eant to havr. Even that doesn't require anything too special though. Just creating a file with the names of the apps that you want the remover to remove and the instructions for thsy can be found in the first few posts.

What if you:

Disable the email app (and exchange app if you have it) in Settings > Apps.

Install Google email from play store.

Re-enable the orignal apps (resulting in 2 email apps.)

Then run the add-on installer (resulting in removal of com.android.email and com.google.android.email moving to system.)

I'd wanted to try out Google email before the add-on installer was available, so these were the steps I went through to set it up. This is probably a shot in the dark but I thought I would share it.

First try wiping system. Wiping both caches. Flash ur Rom. Flash GApps. Wipe both caches again. Reboot. Hopefully things should be ok.

Else you will need to wipe do a factory reset and then flash Rom and GApps.

Google Email Addon NO LONGER AVAILABLE

After reading the past 2 days worth of messages (it's been a busy weekend for me), it's clear to me that the Google Email Addon just isn't going to work for everyone. While I can't imagine what OmniROM might have done to prevent the addon from working properly with their ROM, it does seem apparent that there are some incompatibilities. This is not an issue that can be fixed with GApps. If there are incompatibilities, they would have to be fixed on the ROM side of things. Based on all of this, I am removing the Addon, effective immediately. If you would like to remove the addon from your device, please read FAQ #6.

To return this thread back to normal activity levels, I'd like to ask that all discussions regarding the addon be moved elsewhere. If anyone has some useful information on making the addon compatible, please feel free to shoot me a PM.

Extracting the libs automatically is a pretty big technical challenge. That and not everyone gets the updates at the same time, so going back to waiting would defeat the purpose of GApps for many.
