Hello.

I would like to ask, is it necessary to flash this module: "Play Services / Play Games Update Module" after GApps install?

If I won't install this module, then my Play Services will update automatically right? Will it be proper version?

Thanks in advance,

Greetings.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Yes. Read the OPs.

Hi guys!!!My question to you.To update the full gapps of CM11 what is the procedure?My recovery is CWM v 6.0.5.0 Thanks in advance!!!:good: My phone is Samsung SII i9100.

Space problems

Hello,

I am trying to install pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20140716.zip on Resurrection remix 4.4.2 and I have failed because of insufficient space problems:

I have started to install from scratch, formatted everything, inserted my Sd card and installed from there Resurrection remix and micro modular gapps which is failing!

How can I fix this ?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] kamilmirza:
dear [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION]

is there any method to force flash Google Play Games via PlayServices/Games Updater even if it's not installed already? :confused:

thanks again for this great thread :)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
it's a separate file just flash it :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
[MENTION=4161707]panda822[/MENTION] Very very important: can you boot to recovery, adb shell in and then post us the output from this command?

df -k /system | tail -n 1 | awk '{ print "total_system_size=" $1 } { print "used_system_size=" $2 } { print "free_system_size=" $3 }';

And then also just:

df -k /system;

..so we're sure what we're looking at. ;)

I see [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] bypassed this method in play services/games updater until it's been verified, so all the packages still use the old way too. The sooner you can do this the sooner you'll be able to install these packages (hopefully). :)

Edit: Also not using my updated addon.d scripts; hopefully for the next release! :cowboy:

I am using pa_gapps-modular-micro-4.4.4-20140716-signed.zip and pa_gapps_remover-20140716-signed.zip. Everything working fine including Play Store 4.8.22. But because I changed apps which I removed I updated this way:

I recommend you try this method when you have problems.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zybach:
This method worked for me thanks :)..strange because previously I always just flash over whenever there's a new update then wipe dalvik cache without problems

Is the battery drain problem of play services solved?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:

Usually, what we call "battery drain" with Play Services is just Google Now location updates and activity summary that are enabled.

Disable them and you will be fine.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] iobling:
This is what I was talking about, I don't even have installed Google now.

I've started having this issue only after a play services update so I don't think it's a rom problem. I've also tried another rom and same problem, only on 4.4.2 rom I don't have any problems
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nucleonic:
I have this problem on my OPO. Ended up going into App Ops and denying every wake up and keep awake. Check your stats to see if GPServices is keeping your phone awake.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
it's in the OP... :rolleyes:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
I'm on the latest CM nightly ROM for my device... flashed the latest Google Pack GApps and Play Services and Play Games module.

No abnormal wakelock.

So yes, it might be something in your rom not compatible with the latest Play Services

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
We need you to try so that the GApps can improve. Devices like yours that report the system space differently are the minority so we need your help. :)

Wait. Hold on. I'll make a zip for you to flash that will create a log with the information we need in your sdcard. Then you can just post that. :good:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] panda822:
how can I use adb-shell?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Don't worry. I got it covered for you. ;)

Please just flash this file: http://d-h.st/h8D

oh my goodness :D

i asked in THIS post that how can i FORCE flash Google Play Games via PlayServices/Games Updater; which in my case does not flash due to Mini Modular Package

when i flash PlayServices/Games Updater it shows "PlayGames not currently installed"

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You have a device with an extremely small system partition and you're installing a GINORMOUS ROM. You have two choices. 1) Switch to a smaller ROM, or 2) try [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] Minimal GApps.

Not at this time. The new version of GApps (coming soon) will allow this, but the updater will only UPDATE PlayGames if it's currently installed in system partition. BTW, when everyone doesn't seem to understand your question, the best way to resolve the issue is to ask the question in a different way, NOT get angry at those who don't undertand your question.

The reason mine works and the others do not is that my discombobulated statement actually works backwards from the output. Since the non-standard output is at the front of the line, it doesn't matter. Looks like we'll have to stay with my old standby for now.

Yep. It will only UPDATE PlayGames if it's currently installed in /system/app/ and is named 'PlayGames.apk'.

Google has been quite clear that while it will no longer be updated, it will continue to function. They also included it in the factory images released on Tuesday for the Nexus 5.

Really? You'll need to read the OP for support requirements. 'help!!!', just ain't gonna do it. :)

Was this post intended for me? I really have no idea what you're asking. With the exception of Wallet and Chrome, which were updated yesterday AFTER my release, everything else is up-to-date.

GPS Wakelocks are either a ROM issue or a Google issue. Definitely NOT a GApps issue. Think about it... The GApps installer does NOTHING besides drop the apk and libs into the system partition. And, since these GApps are the only GApps I'm aware of that make certain you have the proper version of GPS installed, any issues would have to be ROM related or issues with the app itself.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
I will definitely include them in this weekend's updates. My goal yesterday was just to get a release out before Google began 'Update Wednesday'.

I've gone through the scripts and they're revolutionary! Thanks to your work here, not only will these GApps be the only GApps on the market that make certain you have sufficient space to install a 'Complete' GApps package, they will now make certain you have sufficient space available to do a proper restore. This should resolve a LOT of unexplainable problems that folks may have been having after a GApps restore.

Everyone here, including myself, owe you a great debt of gratitude for making these GApps better and better.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] osm0sis:
Haha TKruzze and I are 100% of your Thanks meter right now. Hopefully that'll tide you over! ;)

Everyone reading this please also go thank panda's posts! :)

Ah! So the real problem with yours was that it read too far and took the numbers from the mmc block. No need to stick to the old standby, true to my word I've fixed it forever! :p

# Read and save system partition size details, first parsing out block name if included
df=`busybox df -k /system | tail -n 1`;
case $df in
/dev/block/*) df=$(echo $df | awk '{ print substr($0, index($0,$2)) }');;
esac;
echo $df | awk '{ print "total_system_size_kb=" $1 } { print "used_system_size_kb=" $2 } { print "free_system_size_kb=" $3 }' >> $gprop;

Hey I'm just happy to finally kill this system space bug before I go away tomorrow. ;) :D

Edit: [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION], I fixed it even better. Changed script above. :cowboy:

Infact I was thinking it's an app issue, especially since it appeared after an auto update, i'm sorry if it seemed to be a gapps problem from what i wrote. Maybe this isn't the perfect topic to talk about it, i was asking it only to see if in the new update there wasn't any problem. Anyway i got my answer.

Good job!

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
While I understand the Google statement, I think this will make QuickOffice less and less updated comparing it to Docs/Sheets/Presentations so it could be useless to waste space on system partition (we are talking about 15mb!) if you will need to install the other Google's apps anyway to have latest updates and changes.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dabotsonline:
[MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] , the 2014-07-16 package is excellent.

However, is there any chance that you expand the functionality of '.forcenocamera' and '.forcenogallery' so it can contain a list like '.gapps-remove'? That way, everyone can use the Stock package and keep the flexibility of the automatic replacements that isn't offered in the smaller packages, whilst at the same time removing the need to flash the Add-On Modules.

For instance, I have a Nexus S with a small /system partition, running an AOSP build of 4.4.3 (incidentally, these 4.4.4 GApps seem to work fine). However, I would like to install the Stock package but remove and prevent the installation of the following:

Browser

Email

Exchange

FaceUnlock

Gallery

GGallery

Launcher

MMS

NewsWidget

Pico

QuickOffice

Studio

Sunbeam

Wallet

It would be great if you could add an option for 'MusicFX' as well.

Thanks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sidneyk:
OK, back from vacation and got a chance to look closer at this. The TWRP version, which I build and maintain for the Asus TF101, was just built with toolbox support, rather than busybox, to keep recovery size smaller. That is the issue, with the 07-08 version gapps, is that your command to mount system is depending on (assuming) busybox being available in recovery.

ui_print("Mounting system...");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");

This fails after having done my normal routine when flashing new ROM of wiping /system, caches, flash ROM (which works with this recovery), flash gapps, flash supersu. If I flash my ROM, which uses this command to mount system successfully:

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1", "/system");

The ROM will flash successfully, but the gapps installer (07/08) fails unless I manually mount /system first within recovery. Then the gapps package will install successfully. I see you have a newer version now and maybe this is already addressed and I will check that one out as soon as I get the chance. Just wanted to point out that there now exists the possibility that there will be other TWRP recovery builds on other devices that could opt for this toolbox, rather than busybox, approach in trying to keep recovery smaller and this busybox availability in recovery assumption may need some attention. I agree that it's not really a pa-gapps issue, but rather a recovery version issue. But since gapps packages are installed from recovery usually, then it is at least related and worth considering.

[EDIT 7-19-14] After trying some other things, it seems the TWRP toolbox implementation may either be a bit buggy or I don't know enough about it yet. I'm going to revert back to a busybox build for now. Thanks.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] ettore88:
Hey guys!!!My question to you.You can install the GOOGLE STOCK PACKAGE on the SII i9100?Thanks in advance!!!:good:

PS:read in the OP, but I have not found anything...:rolleyes:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hlxanthus:
You can as long as there is enough space left on your /system partition. It depends on which ROM and how much of /system remains after the ROM is installed to it.

I will say we have been hearing a number of users on the s2 having issues with the bigger gapps packages
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Abhinav25:
Not able to move apps to sd card

I am not able to move apps to external SD card in Samsung Galaxy Grand i9082, it shows "couldn't move app". What should I do? I have tried link2sd, app2sd, titanium backup tool but I am not able to move. Can anyone help me with this.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] User_99:
I think you posted in the wrong thread. How is this GApps related. ;)

Think your're use a KitKat 4.4.x ROM, or?

There are a lot of troubles writing on SD-Card...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Just to clarify, it's a problem with Google Play Services, NOT the GApps package.

I don't disagree with that, but you're also missing one important piece: There is currently no reliable method to install Docs, Sheets, and Slides in the System Partition. The reason is that all three apps use a different version of the 'libndk1.so' library. Based on this, I have serious doubts whether Google will ever include these apps in a factory image. If they do, they'll have to fix this discrepancy.

You probably could, but you'd be better off using a 4.4.2 package.

You can use [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] or use GApps Remover to slim down the Micro Modular package.

<sigh> Why do people feel the need to make posts like this? There's NO useful information here and certainly NOTHING provided for us to even help you out. If I ever abandon this project, it'll be because of posts like yours.

I'm not quite certain what you're looking for, but the upcoming packages should provide the flexibility you're looking for. In the meantime, I think there's more than enough flexibility in the current offerings.

I can't imagine a recovery without busybox support. You'll definitely need that to flash these, or most any other GApps package or addon.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sidneyk:
As you know TWRP is now part of Omnirom's base code and as I was saying has recently added this ability to swap toolbox functionality with busybox in order to make smaller recovery images needed for some devices. I'll go back to busybox for now as I can still squeeze an image that works into my 5MB recovery partition.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Valdrinit:
More information

I am sorry for my lack of information provided. I don't really know what is relevant... The gapps where all successfully installed in my system, fact that the log confirmed, exept for the GoogleGalery (as it should, because my phone is not a Nexus). I wiped the system partition, I flashed the stock package and the updater for Google Play Services and Games after the latest nightly build of CM11 and I wiped the cache and Dalvik-cache partitions after the flash has completed. I used TWRP 2.7.1.0 for flashing. As soon as I unlocked the screen, I kept on receiving error messages like "The proccess google.something.gapps has stopped" or "google.something.services" or "google.something.location" ... I couldn't log into my Google account, because the apps responsable for that kept stopping and I couldn't use my phone because of the same messages that kept on popping. What more do you want me to say?

Also, it is a problem with the package, because the latest gapps (the same that this package offers) work just fine from other packages...
