Error Status 6 installing PA GAPPS

Hi,

I am getting an error (status 6) when installing PA GAPPS.

I followed these steps:

Download zip files to Windows 7 laptop and transfer them to SD card

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

"Clean to install a new ROM" option.

Flash the Radios

Flash the ROM

Flash the Gapps

Step 6 receives the error and the installation aborts.

PhilZ Touch info:

PhilZ Touch 6 - Build version 6.15.4 - SGH-I757M

CWM Base version: v6.0.4.7

Compiled Feb 14 2014

I have already installed previous versions of this custom ROM. For some reason, it won't install this time.
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
Probably you downloaded the full gapps package, which is too big for the tiny /system partition. Use the gapps he links in the post where the ROM download is.
[Galaxy S II General] CS_HCI:
Status 6 Error

I downloaded the right GAPPS I believe.

"pa_gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20150125-signed.zip" - 226.9MB Jan 25, 2015 | 12:01PM

Sorry for taking so long to post back. My business is starting to keep me busy... That's a good thing though ;)

This may be related to the older version CWM, I'm not 100% sure about that though. A few builds back though, another user was having a similar issue, and we were able to get around it by using an older gapps package as some part of the install script was causing that error.

This was the gapps that worked at the time, however, it's quite outdated and will require you update apps upon boot, but should at least get it installed for you.

[Galaxy S II General] ksSGHI757M:
It may have just been an odd coincidence when I had a similar problem, but I wasn't able to install from files I downloaded to my pc and transfered over on sd card. Once I downloaded to phone storage it all worked though.
[Galaxy S II General] CS_HCI:
Thanks for your help. I installed another version of PhilZ Touch and it worked.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
But hey, isn't default setting for this ROM is 384? Becouse mine was changed to 192 when i restred the system settings from Titanium Backup. And you saying that i will not be able to change that? Does this mean that my phone will always be slower than yours, or example?

But also i just thought, anyway, even with 192 my old ROM was MUCH FASTER. It was 2014.10.05 - your Carbon. I am just comparing by "Assassin's Creed Unity Companion App". It has been working much faster on old Rom

And regular Android interface was much faster. But now i realized that i was using 192 frequency too.

So it seems we got slower ROM now.

But wouldn't it be HUGE like hell? Even system bootanimation (the one that flashes) is too big that corrode the eye a little. (sorry for bad english once again). But the one that we replaced manually every time (480 i beleive, right?) was exactly what needed. Tiny, exquisite and elegant.

Well, i didn't know where to upload them... So i just sent them to your Facebook... Good? As well as two others i'm having a problem with. Launcher has been crashing it's statusbar on the last build and is very slow on current build. And the keyboard is two slow. It need a few moments to pop-up, or even it shows very slowly the letter when i type. And its not only the most popular keyboard in Market, it's the most popular Android app at all!

Yes, thanks, haven't thought i can wipe on the laft and there are more settings there. But. It was unchecked. And regardless if it's checked or not - the icons can not accept my green color! Wi-fi and newtwork icon.

. Oh, thats nice, big thanks to you for all your efforts. Still hope to see Android L on our device someday.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
192 is the minimum frequency that the kernel will allow on the cpu. Allowing it to go lower than 384 is good for battery. This will not affect speed and is forced because it is the best setting and prevents lockups in the kernel. The maximum frequency is what you should change to 1890. This will improve speed, and also go into

Settings -> Carbon Fibers -> Advanced -> Kernel

Disable the input boost and then enable the input boost to make sure that is working as it is the reason the phone became so responsive in the first place. It should be enabled by default, but for some strange reason it's not starting as enabled do this fixes that.

Yes, much larger than the 480. I it looks more proportionate to the size of screen we have, but will add a place in the advanced device settings where you can change that to the one you want.

The part above about setting the cpu to 1890 and the cpu input boost also applies here ;)

Yes, this is definitely a bug in the implementation that I will work on fixing.

Your welcome, I'm glad you and others are here for me to share it with ;)
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
Bluetooth issues resolved on this build.

Currently i seem to have a 1 second lag opening apps, or bringing up the keyboard. Questionable battery life.

not sure whats causing my drain and delay.

please advise?
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
I've done it alredy 4 days ago, when installed new build.

I also've bbeen there and unchecked and checked again this option. Didn't help. The phone is still slower.

Also the keyboard lagging is freeking me out. It occured even in previous build. For example. ehn i am trying to type something - kyboard must pop-up in a sec, but did it for quite a time:(

P.S. Noticed that if turn Bluetooth on and off few times and send some files - next time you want to switch it - it becomes glitched and doesn't change it's status. Also was in previous builds. But now i even got one restart after ticking the bluetoth swither for a while.
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
battery useage:

screen ( duh)

android OS

android system

com.android.systemui

i thought the last one was strange
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I will look into these as soon as repartitioning of my hd is done ;) it's got about 6-8 hours of copying ahead of it at moment.

It's the system ui package and isn't strange for it to be there. Try using gsam battery monitor to track down with greater detail the apps or processes that are consuming battery. You can post screenshots here ;)

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Cheers, thanks for the screenshots. Can you also click on the dropdown at the top of the screen where you see the apps listed and select the "View Kernel Wakelocks" option and post that screenshot as well. This is usually where all the juice gets taken, in the wakelocks ;)
[Galaxy S II General] crdnick:
was going to upload a screen shot, but its only

USB_bus_active @ 5 hours,

combined app wakelocks @ 25 mins
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'll be investigating this USB_bus_active wakelock. I'm not sure off hand whats causing it, but it appears that is in fact the problem. Just need to track down the root of the issue ;)

Thanks for the useful information +1
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
The phone is ungodly slow with last build.

Maxthon browser + Swift Key keyboard and typing in url adress or in google search in browser is real pain in a ass..

Also stability is an illusion. 4 SystemUi crashes (Statusbar dissapearing) detected for this month. Of cource, it's less then on previous rom where i had to restart the phone every day to avoid statusbar dissapearanse, but still.
[Galaxy S II General] ksSGHI757M:
I don't know if I would say ungodly slow, but it's a big step down from the previous build I was on. Lots of crashing too. Not sure if it's the driving cause but every time I restart it says advanced settings has crashed. Still on this build since the camera flash works but other than that, I would switch back.

I'm guessing that tf's business is going well (congratulations!) as he hasn't posted much recently. Looking forward to a new phone when my 3 year contract runs up!

Any news on new ROM?

It's ve been 4 month of HARD LAG and UNCOMFORTABLE USE...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I've been unbelievably busy the last couple of months and have not had any spare time. All builds are still in my androidfilehost if you need to revert back to an older release that worked better for you ;)

I do still plan I one last build, but do not have a timeline for this :(

I need some time to go through sultan's latest commits to see what improvements have been made.

After this last build, I will be discontinuing my Roms for this device as I have since gotten an S5. If anyone is capable and willing to take on this project, I'm happy to pass it along ;) just pm me ;)
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Hi Titanic, do you plan to develop a rom for the S5? My daughter has one and she might be tempted to go for a custom rom. If you do so I'm sure it will be a great rom. And if you don't, any advice on a good rom out there?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I've already built carbon-kk for the s5 although it's not as stable as my carbon for the s2. The only improvements I've had time to make is customization for the smart cover feature if you have an s-case.

No idea when I'll have time to work on the kernel though which is where improvements need to be made. I also want to look into the drivers that power the finger print scanner since they are there in the kernel, but not being used by the custom Rom.

If she would like to try carbon, just go to carbons website and under the downloads section you will find the download for the klte ;)

As for my own custom Rom, I'll pm you when it's ready if you'd like ;)
[Galaxy S II General] danrobi:
Thanks a lot Titanic, just post when you have your own thread for the S5.

Thanks again! :thumbup:
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Yeah, i fugured that out.:) That's why i haven't wrote anything and waited patiently. You diserve the greatest thanks for your hard work. Thank you.:good:

As for previous build, i don't really want to move to it. Never tried it, but there was many commentaries about different bugs, therefore i skipped it till your 20150126 build.

I just hope new one won't take long.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Recently i started to have problem with free memory on my phone. I can't even update my apps, Google Play says that i have insufficient space. And i need all my apps.

It is weird becouse i have bought an addidtional SD-card (8Gb Transcend Class 6) for additional space.

But guess what, it's almost half empty. That's really weird, the phone have free memory that i gave it, but doesn't use it. And complaining on free space...

Here is what Link2SD showing in "Storage":
[Galaxy S II General] Saber:
Have you checked your LOST.DIR folder and deleted it. Sometimes this folder accumulates with useless files that should be deleted.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Yes, i checked, they both are empty (in external and in internal SD-card). But even if they weren't - there is still plenty of space on both SD-cards. The only one who is complaining is Google Play.

I would really appreciate for advice, becouse i can't install any new app or upgrade existing.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It's totally a Google play thing. When gplay downloads updates, they are downloaded to the /data partition. Yours is almost full like mine was. The trick here is to uninstall the app, then just reinstall it. This will clear out enough room on the data partition. The other thing you can try, although it rarely worked for me is to wipe dalvik cache from recovery.

Unfortunately, there is no way to make gplay download updates to the sdcard.

This is difficult where you have an app that you need to keep the data for. In this situation, you can first try backing up the app+ data then uninstall and reinstall the update. After reinstall, restore only the data from your backup. This does not always work and sometimes causes the app to fc. In the case of an fc, you have two choices, clear the data for that app and start with it fresh or uninstall it and restore the backup app and data.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Big thanks for the answer! I'll try. But how do i know which apps i need to take care off? Absolutely EVERY app gives me message about not enought free space. And i have around 150 apps, it would be crazy to uninstall and reinstall them all...

And why are you saying my /data partition is almost full if screenshotes show that it still have 221MB free?

By the way, what is "fc"?=)

P.S. Is there any news about updated build?:angel:
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It was reported as a bug, and had never been addressed. It starts doing this around 300MB or less.

You don't need to uninstall each app individually, only as is required when updating from gplay one at a time ;) it should only happen with the bigger apps, and also those that come with lots of libs (that you won't know about, but they're usually larger downloads).

This means a force close. When an app crashes and gives you the message about filling a bug report.

I'm hoping to get a chance to work on that a little on the weekend since my app should be ready in the next couple of days. I won't know how many updates I'm looking at until I review sultans changes and the few others that I also watch. I'll let you know when I do ;)
[Galaxy S II General] B.Moreira:
Do you think it's possible to use ART for this as well, or are the gapps rom specific?
[Galaxy S II General] sadowling:
Extract Wallpapers?

Is there an easy way to extract some of the included Carbon/Image wallpapers in the ROM from the zip file?
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
I tried art and it broke the gapps package, so you'd need to flash the compatible version. It works fine on our slim build though.
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Thank you for yout answer. I think I will flash it back to stock, but wich version do you recomend me? I remember that the last one from samsung was horrible.

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You could use either ics or jb. And use the tar.md5 from the sammobile website since it will re-flash all necessary partitions including recovery. Then run that for a couple of days and see if your still experiencing this issue. If not, root and flash the custom Rom and see if the problem occurs after flashing the custom Rom. This will help us determine if it's software or hardware related
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
To those interested, I'll be updating our gapps packages to be art compatible
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Okay I'll flash the 4.0.4 and try it for one week. Hope it's the ROM the problem because I have the keep that phone for another year... I hate this phone...

Here I have a stupid question : what is Art? I have been reading it for some time.

[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm running Carbon ROM built from your sources, minus the apps/settings change and with DIABLO 3.3 for the kernel..

Our minfree values are out to lunch. Or at least mine are. Anyone interested and having a look? Then install the Jrummy memory manager and set more appropriate minfree values if necessary. I am current on the strict preset. Our roms minfree values were waaayyy off the chart.

All ROMS can be checked, and would be appreciated. Also compare against Process stats in the developer options before and after. After i applied different values, my process stats when fron critical to normal.

[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Hello!

So I have been running the 4.0.4 version for 4 days and have not met any bug, reboot or strange thing at all. I'll go back on carbon after one week, but I must say that I was quite surprised by the speed of the phone when I came back on stock ROM... Wait, was my phone this fast???

If it continues to crash after coming back to carbon, I'll probably return on 4.0.4, but do you now where I can find this version non stock and rooted? I tried to look and couldn't find anything.

4.0.4 is ICS and dsixda built cm-9 (ICS) for our phone. His thread is on xda ;)
[Galaxy S II General] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Aww man. Another one to test.

---------- Post added at 08:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 PM ----------

THIS. hahahaha

It's mind blowing how fast this thing is on ICS/CM9 and CM10.

Here's stock rooted ICS (CWM flashable zip)

DADOES CM10 is probably my favourite ROM for this phone so far. Fully featured CM10 Jelly Bean but pretty much just as fast as stock ICS and gets almost just as amazing battery life (ICS/CM9/CM10 on this phone gets around double the battery life of CM10.2+). Try it here.
[Galaxy S II General] fab-4ever:
Thank you so much! I know Dadoes, I tried it in the past and did really like it. Also, thank you for the stock rooted ICS, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Today I came back on Carbon, hope it will go well this time.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build is Up!

Hey guys, new build of Carbon just up! This one has the 91fixoverlays script removed so hw overlays are now enabled by default and the phone is so smooth now ;) I'm loving it.

Enjoy!!!

[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Might be time for a new device....
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Yeah exactly, i also considered this. But i was hoping to get new phone at next year, or atleast on this Christmas.. titanic_fanatic promised another new build...

still it's seems weird to me to be up to new phone not becouse physical obsolescence (i still beleive 2 cores and 1gb ram is enough; camera, screen and design absolutely satisfies me), but becouse of lack of software development...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Hey guys, I do apologize for having promised another build and not being able to get it done.

I've got an amazing opportunity with a massive website and it's taking all of my spare time.

That being said, there will most likely not be another build as I don't see any spare time coming up.

I do however recommend the s5 as an upgrade. It's a great phone and battery life is far better than our poor s2 ;)

I thank you all for your support with this Rom. It's been a blast ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I have a build machine up if the source code is available....
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
So no answers to any of my questions?

Should i try previous build for more stability? (never tried previous one)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
You can consider this device abandoned .... I gave my old one to titanic_fanatic and he's got a new device.....

I don't have time to maintain this device myself.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I have been busy with my business and have not had any time to spend with my roms.

You can certainly try an older build, they are all available on my androidfilehost and the changelogs are in the op ;)
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
When i was talking about answering to my questions i mean those:

1) In Memory Settings should KSM be enabled or disabled?

2) Which preset is the best? (Normal, Agressive, Very Agressive, etc.)

Also, i installed

20141121

buid. Which actually feels noticable faster. Also i have few new questions about this build:

3) There is no Dynamic System Bar settings. Is there any option to do it? The only solution i found is Tinted Status Bar module in Xposed Framework. Will it work the same or will be slower than native implemented feature?

4) Battery drains faster. Can i do anything about it?

5) No GUI for panel undervolt in Advansed settings. I did all the stuff with the text file, but i'm not sure if it works. How to check what panel UV i am currently having?

6) Doesn't Panel Undervolt affect speed and/or stability?

7) "Should Force GPU" rendering and "Disable HW Overlays" be turned on or off? On the last

20150125

build i was told that now it doesn't matter, but what with this

20141121

build?

8) The same with clock speed. When i coplained that i can't go up from 192 till 384 at

20150125

build i was told that now it also doesn't matter, but now in

20141121

build right after flash i have 384-1674. Tried to go up to 1890 at the top and it makes phone unstable, restarts aevery hal an hour. lowered to 1836, seems stable. Should i leave this way? And what should i do with bottop line, do i need to go down from 384 till 192 to save battery? Wouldn't it affect on system speed?

9) I want to delete some system apps, that i don't use. Can i delete following with Link2SD without affecting System speed/stability?

Here is the list:

I would be extremely greatfull for answer to atleast something of this.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
Guys, could somebody answer atleast about checking UV Undervolt and HWoverlays/GPU-rendering?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
These questions have already been answered multiple times in this thread.

Panel uv is a way to save battery and hw overlays is enabled regardless of what you select.

In terms of oc. You have to play with the settings to find out what works for you add that depends on many factors such as which apps you have installed.

Please take a moment to read over this thread entirely and you will find some useful information for tweaking the Rom.

Other than that, I no longer have time to maintain this Rom. My business is taking up all of my time.
[Galaxy S II General] TrueHD:
I didn't ask what is UV undervolting for, i asked about how to check settings have stucked and which settings are now?

About tweaking the rom - it's not a matter of tweaks. The rom is just unstable. And yes i used search and read the tread (in fact i am here for a few years already) but no solution. Yes, the 20141121 build is little faster then your last, but more random reboots and still lags.

So still it's hard to use this build for a daily driver. I had been loosing important meetings becouse of alarm fail and missed important calls becouse of freezes and random reboots.

I guess it's no point to wait Android 5 or Android 6 for our device?

So is there any normal build for our phone with descend speed and without glitches? I mean, for daily driver? I would even install stock 4.2, but i hate official Samsung look of notification panel and SystemUI...

I've done a fresh flash, turned on art, and installed the rest of my apps. Running perfectly and very quick. fYI 91hwoverlay is still in the init.d folder. I've removed it. Also I recommend to everyone to go to developer options and change all 3 animation scales to .5, it has a really nice placebo effect of making everything snappier.
