Get rid of your xposed mod that disables Google location consent, or ask the dev to update it. Your FCs will continue as soon as play services updates itself, I guarantee it.

Guys, not trying to be rude, but disabling xposed is one of the first things you should be doing before reporting any bugs here (or anywhere else besides an xposed thread). Time I spend searching for bugs that don't exist is wasted time I could be spending making gapps and slim better.

Hey there, the inverted Playstore works just fine, but upon installation it always claims insufficient storage even if there is plenty of space left and the app it's just 400kb in size.

phew! that double-vision nonsense in play store's action bar was a tricky one to figure out. sorry it took me so long :p

anyway,

YouTube: update to TRDS version 5.10.3.5

PrebuiltGmsCore (play services): update to MULTI-DPI version 6.1.09, update libs

I keep gettin this everytime i tap it just keeps popping up. This has happened the past few updates
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
you've hit yes, correct?

this happens whenever you clear data for google play services (which, if you followed my instructions here, you would have). this is expected behavior the first time it happens. google play services has location reporting turned off by default. so, once you turn it on, google knows that it's been on at one point in time. when you clear data for play services, it defaults back to off. all you have to do is hit "yes" at this dialog. if you hit "not now," you'll be reminded again. if you don't want location on anymore, hit "yes" at this dialog, then go into location settings and turn location reporting back off manually.

Can I flash a new version of Gapps in top of an old version, without flashing the ROM at the same time?

Should I wipe cache and dalvik in the process?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] efan3719:
You should format system, flash rom, flash gapps
[General SlimRoms Discussion] VictorLapin:
In this particular case format system is not necessary, just wiping cache/dalvik cache and flashing new gapps is enough
[General SlimRoms Discussion] tetakpatak:
I definitely recommend efan's advice, including formatting cache

tetakpatalked from Nexus 7 flo
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
actually, wiping system isn't necessary unless you're re-flashing the rom. when gapps is flashed, it flashes a script (the *.sh file) to system that contains a list of gapps files to backup, which the rom zip uses to copy these files to data, flash the rom to system, then move the backed up files back the system partition from whence they came.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] efan3719:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] tetakpatak:
Thanks for the explaination :) very useful to know.

May I ask you for an additional information? I remember that we had in Omni development for Tab 2 issues reported with early 4.4.2 nightlies when some users tried to dirty flash mini GApps by BaNkS over PA gapps. There were no more issues after wiping system and reflashing the same ROM and GApps.

Does it come for different gapps packages (in this case also made by different developers) didn't use the same scripts?

tetakpatalked from N7100
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Yes absolutely. Whenever I add/remove files from the gapps packages, I have to update the script to reflect the new content. Everybody's script is different, and is unique to the content of the package.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Jax Teller:
About flashing new gapps over older gapps, from my experience, when the new gapps contain only updates of the apps then just dirty flashing is OK.

But when gapps have changes of what kind of apps that it contains, like last week when Maps got out, then wiping system and then flashing rom and new gapps package is the best way.

Maybe I'm wrong but I remember that after rebooting Maps was giving me FC. I guess I should delete Maps through Slimsizer before installing it from playstore, but generally I feel that in these situations wiping system is better, quicker and cleaner.

I guess [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] should make a dirty flashing guide of gapps.:D

What I don't know is if the script that gapps have, contains info about what it should delete (apk, libs etc) before installing the new gapps or do the new apk of an app just replace the older one?:confused:

Little issue here :D

I wanted to flash new .292 gapps, so i did this:

- delete google account;

- delete playstore, service and frameworks data;

- reboot

- wipe caches and system

- flash rom and gapps

- reboot

- add the google account again.

All fine, but i can't see Hangouts even though the apk is in system/app.

Hangouts Dialer is visible but it can't find Hangouts.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
couldn't have said it better myself :highfive:

yes, the updater scripts for all packages are modified to delete several files just in case. this is to make it easier to dirty flash without running into issues. here are the files that the updater script for each package deletes:

full:

delete("/system/app/Music.apk");
delete("/system/app/Chrome.apk");
delete("/system/app/Maps.apk");
delete("/system/app/PlusOne.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.android.chrome-1.apk");

delete("/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.google.android.talk-1.apk");
delete("/data/app/com.google.android.talk-2.apk");

---------- Post added at 08:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Since you had a version of gapps newer than 282 you didn't have to delete Google account, clean data etc.

Unless you didn't do it earlier.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
oh yes...

sweet, sweet darkness. friggin finally :D
[General SlimRoms Discussion] ezio84:
Ok thanks ;)

Ehm, lol, i did that because I was really curious about that procedure :D

It's a good chance to do a clean wipe after long time :P

Finally!
[General SlimRoms Discussion] ezio84:
Just to do some tests before the clean flash, I figured it out :D

I did this:

- remove Hangouts apk from system/app/

- install Hangouts from the play store

- move it to system apps with Titanium backup

- the apk name will be com...., change to Hangouts.apk

- reboot.

I also deleted its data from the App menu but it was already working fine (EDIT: but it's not TRDSed :D )
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
well as long as it's in system/app/ and it's named Hangouts.apk, and it's working - flash the gapps again and you'll have the working TRDS version. no reason why that shouldn't work. try it and see!
[General SlimRoms Discussion] ezio84:
Yup! It did the trick :D

Nothing on the site to indicate whether it is safe or advisable to use the beta versions. What exactly are the differences between the beta and stable, and are they likely to be consolidated ?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] shaggyskunk:
Slim's beta Gapps are perfectly safe to run - In fact - I've yet to see any beta from Slimrom - That wasn't safe to run - A Slim beta - Doesn't mean that it's going to eat your device - It means that it might not be as Perfect as a Slim Stable release - Though I'd be hard pressed to find the difference ?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] anjath:
hey. new to TRDS and I would like to know how to stay updated on the dark side of Google apps. I'm currently on the latest slimsaber (N7000) build (4.4.4) and using the final stable build 5.8.60 gapps (meant for 4.4.3). Now my Google cards are blacked out but other google apps like chrome, keep etc are still white. Mostly because I have updated chrome etc from play store.

So how do I upgrade to newer builds. Can I just flash the latest beta gapps zip file from recovery without any other prerequisite (wipe data, cache etc). I dont want to lose all my data and settings each time I flash a new gapps. Is that possible? Thanks in advance.

Also, would like to know if there is dark version of whatsapp or other third party apps?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] shaggyskunk:
I'd update your Slim Gapps to the 5.95 - 110 update.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] anjath:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
New version up in add-ons beta. Contains play services 5.0.82, which supposedly fixes some wakelocks according to Google.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:

[General SlimRoms Discussion] damngood98:
no setting will be lost from wiping cache/dalvik...would also recomend wiping system and reflashing the rom whenever gapps need to be reflashed

what apps you want removed depends on what gapps package you flash...see the op

not sure what you mean....just the individual apk? i suppose you could always pull what you wanted from the gapps package
[General SlimRoms Discussion] shaggyskunk:
You can wipe caches all day long - And you won't lose any of your settings.

Slim doesn't have individual apks =as far as I know).

You can also choose from Full, Normal and Mini Gapps.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
you could, but if the original apk contained any native prebuilt C++ libraries, you're going to run into issues. if you're going to go this route, safest way is to download the official apk version, open it on your PC (as though it were a zip archive), and if there's a directory named "lib" in there, copy it over to the root of the TRDS apk you're pulling from the gapps.

Yes, I have TRDS on...I re-flashed only latest Beta Gapps (292) over Slim 8.0. When it booted, Hangouts wasn't showing as installed although it was shown on the App/System folder, so I just deleted that apk, downloaded it from Play Store, move it from Data to System once installed, and rebooted. It works fine and everything else is Blackened out but Hangouts.

Should I reflash Gapps once again? Clean install everything? Thanks!

It's not meant to be installed. You need to copy YouTube.apk file and paste it to /system/apk and set permissions for it to rw-r-r like all the files in this folder.
