"Google Stock" Gapps won't fully install

I downloaded the latest 4.6 last night, and the pa_gapps-stock-4.4.4-20141011-signed package.

When I install on my PA 4.6 latest beta and this gapps on my N7 (2012), I got a "can't install chrome, install it from the store" message, and then on boot it keeps telling me to reinstall Google+. I get no launcher, but I do get a status bar. I also get no startup wizard...

I'm going to try the other Oct 11 Gapps packages before digging up an older one from my archives.

Failing that, revert-to-stock and revert-to-nandroid are waiting in the wings.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
Gapps issues should be handled in the gapps thread.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tronmech:
Well, if the choice of GApps package determines whether or not you will be able to successfully boot at all...

In any event, I installed the mini Gapps package and everything came up fine, Google pushed my apps back, and I'm running. I've noticed a few differences that were surprising:

1) No Native USB storage - Stickmount to the rescue.

2) App drawer icons are a lot larger. I could hack the dpi, but I'd rather not deviate too far from stock.

3) Launcher3 seems completely without settings.

The last one means I can't turn off the search bar that shoots me to Google Now. It is also odd considering that the PA version on my hercules has no search bar, and has settings. it seems to be the same launcher version, etc as the one on my Hercules, but stuff is missing.

Not earth-shattering or anything, but it was weird that the ROM seems to have platform-specific differences. I am currently ROM shopping, and expected more consistent experience staying in the PA family.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
Your Hercules isn't officially supported and gets code from cm. Launcher 3 and trebuchet are completely different beings. Aospa provides aosp apps, aside from calculator... Your consistent experience expectations are somewhat deceiving considering you run a legacy device and a nexus device. App drawer icons are stock, and we don't have any native usbotg support aside from what the kernel supports.

Aside from all of that, your gapps preference has nothing to do with the ability to boot, but rather sounds like you had a bad download. The ROM doesn't prevent booting based on gapps package.

#stayparanoid
[Nexus 7 Original Development] tronmech:
Odd, I would have expected "Launcher3" to be the same, but it does seem that everyone takes it and runs with it. I just wasn't expecting the launcher to be different in the same rom.

The full-stock package essentially didn't fit. Didn't on my hercules either. Why Google+ was the app that kept restarting, I have no idea. In any event, the mini package worked fine. Which was all I cared about. I'm keeping PA on my phone at the very least, because it gave me back my phone.

Guys, is anyone running this ROM on F2FS, system partition I mean?

Last time I tried to convert the ROM with Convert to F2FS app it didn't work well, and I have tried a lot of times.

Before with older beta, and 4.5 stable, it worked well.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] chaostrodamis:
I'm running this on all F2fs with funky kernel (m-kernel also works fantastic). No problem here.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
Thanks for your answer.

Which version do you use, the last one? For some reason last two betas, or maybe pony the last one didn't work well for me.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ex-Hunter:
I'm using Carbon ROM All-F2FS on my device. Can you please tell me how I can convert PA to All-F2FS?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
There is a tool developer of Lego kernel, and first SlimKat f2fs builds developed. You can find it in the playstore.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Ex-Hunter:
The play store app is paid. Is this the tool the one you're talking about?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
No, I was referring to the paid app from the play store.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 PM ----------

chaostrodamis, forgot to ask, which version of TWRP are you using?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
Ok, I solved my issue, and I'm again on PA 4.6 Beta 4 all F2FS.

The issue was b/c recovery (TWRP 2.7.1.1). This version got F2FS implemented, so I upgraded from the 'hacked' 2.7.0.

I am still not 100% sure what happened, and now when I think ybout it, I think 2.7.1.1 was working for a while, but I am not sure.

Everything started because I flashed not converted PA, what automatically formated system to ext4. 2.7.1.1 has feature I already mentioned, and I have used it, and immediately formated system back to F2FS.

Here my problem actually started. Flashing of converted pa didn't work. I have tried a lot if things, lot if different versions, I was checking checksums, and in the end came (falsely) to conclusion that Convert to F2FS doesn't work well, with all ROMs.

Later I figured it is a recovery which was giving me a headache.

Not too much, because I was able to use stock PA, while even having data and cache formated with F2FS.

This is how I solved the issue (very simple!) :

First I needed 2.7.1.1 (newer versions don't work.) to format system to F2FS.

Secondly, I have flashed good, old hacked by legolas, 2.7.0.0 and used it to flash converted version of last PA beta.

So everything was OK with Convert to F2FS! One of the reasons I was blaming the app is that app never builds 100% same file. All relevant parts are (let's hope) same. But it puts the timestamp of build time into the file, or something like that, and this leads to different md5 checksums for every file built by the app.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] brizey:
Yep. I had went on to other things, came back, and was like WTF? They do some neat things (the modular stuff), and had some neat ideas that in practice are awful, at least for me (halo=obtrusive/pie=clumsy), and some neat but not really essential things like all the color stuff. Its really more of an idea factory than all encompassing ROM system, which is really kind of cool.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] X0LARIUM:
Yes, agree. They did some really cool things, without going away from the core OS. That's the best part. Their ROMs are based on Google's images. Anyways...guess all good things come to an end..
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
It hasn't come to an end. It has gone in a new direction with a new PA vision of what Android should be.

Basically you haven't read any information found in the change log thread or the device release threads from this past year...

Why do people think there should be a PA settings menu?

I am on their Google+ going through changelog, and I see nothing explaining why I can't get Pie to work, or why Immersive mode is missing, or find when they decided to drop per app color customization, or when custom dpi was removed. I give in though, Paranoid Android isn't the Rom I thought it was, or the Rom I now want.

I love how for getting a simple question I get accused of pissing somebody off, was a legit question that was misunderstood. I still find it sad that the OP link to Gapps is broken, and I am doubted when i mention it. Just wanted to mention it.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] mammyslilboy:
It's been a while since i flashed a ROM and i think i may have messed the flashing of it up.

I was on Lollipop and not happy with it, so i decided to flash PA again.

Trouble is i forgot the factory reset step when flashing, so now I've the boot logo on screen for a while now (approx 20 minutes).

Is this because i didn't do the factory reset and it is trying to optimize the apps i had installed or do you think it hasn't worked properly and if so what can i do?

I am using TWRP recovery.

TIA
[Nexus 7 Original Development] Pirateghost:
Yes. It's because you didn't factory reset. Just boot to recovery using the buttons, and factory reset, flash ROM and gapps again.

Yes, remember, 4.4.4 and 5.0 has different architecture. If they didn't, they'd be the same and an update would be useless. Only install 4.4.4 compatible kernels

Im thinking the devs didnt include the block flag that was causing issues when converted to f2fs. I too converted it w/the app and its running fine.

[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
Which issues? About which build are you talking about? Latest two betas work well for me. But there was a build, cannot remember which one, that was having a problem, actually it couldn't boot at all if converted to f2fs.

So one more time, which build are you referring to? Lollipop ☺? I am thinking about to upgrade, but want first to see how it works for other people.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
When converting KK roms from ext4 to f2fs it was a breeze using the converter app. When Lp was introduced, the converted was unable to convert. Something to do w/a block flag that was implemented in the Lp. I know some of the advanced users here were able to get around this block but I dont have enough knowledge to do so. I did convert the latest PA using the said converter and thats what I am referring to....I am running multirom all f2fs w/Xenon,Freak-SlimLp and now PA .

[Nexus 7 Original Development] thistimearound:
Which is better, do you think, and why? I'm currently on Freak-SlimLp and it's fantastic other than the occasional wicked lag. The problem is those lag spikes happen to be so long at times that it's incredibly frustrating. I'd easily take something a bit slower but no lag. Also, I'm really daft to the whole f2fs thing, so how exactly do I get PA converted to F2FS if it isn't already? You can link me to a guide if you know of one, I definitely don't know how to do that.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
You just said the apps wasn't able to convert the lollipop, but now you are saying you are on 'latest' PA? Do you mean on latest 'stable' /beta, which is IIRC 4.6 (what I am also currently running on N7)?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] dareino:
I was able to convert the latest PA 5.0 to f2fs......they must not have that block flag in place, if so then NO I wouldnt be able to convert it to f2fs.

d
[Nexus 7 Original Development] !crazy:
4.6 works so well for me that I'm really not able to force my self to upgrade to loli ☺. Though nandroid could help here, but I'm afraid to mess with f2fs setup and file systems. If something goes wrong with it, goodbye nandroid backup.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] bvahedy:

Sound issues after docking

I'm finding that my volume goes a little wonky after docking (ASUS charging dock). That is, when you're docked, you can only control whether sound is on or off which is normal as it streams to the dock's output. However, occasionally when I undock, that on/off functionality is stuck and I have no volume either way. I'm guessing the N7 thinks it's still docked and sending volume out the pins on the side.

A reboot fixes it, but I also found that if you dock/redock a few times, it sometimes comes back. This could just be 4.3 as I haven't used stock. Didn't see this with any previous ROM versions.

Anyone else with a dock see this issue?

Also, occasional graphical glitches with Words with Friends, but they go away with a screen tap.

Otherwise, flawless ROM!!!
