Flash your rom and zero. You'll have a keyboard because aosp keyboard is built with slimLP and is already present.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] non1oson:
that answers my question. cheers bro.

so my main aim here is flash rom. flash gapps. flash multi DPI then flash xposed. should I do it in this order or boot before flashing xposed. what's your expert opinion?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
my expert opinion tells me to tell you to stop at your third step and proceed no further.

flash rom. flash gapps. flash multi DPI.

you can flash xposed if you want, but i cannot and will not offer you any support (for gapps or otherwise) if you do.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
can you try clearing data for the other app that uses location after the crash happens, then try to open that app again?

i was able to get rid of my play-services-induced waze crashes by clearing data for waze.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] non1oson:
understood. my main purpose of xposed is for app settings DPI. am I correct in thinking Multi DPI from slim is going to do the same thing as app settings in xposed?

so ultimately I want to change individual app DPI including desktop overall phone DPI. is that possible with multi DPI?

thanks :)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] compuguy1088:
I can try that, but i'm currently on a fresh install of chroma + gapps. The only app that's running that uses location is GPS and Google app right now....

No, no restores via Tibu or any backup app; other than GPS restore.

Well, here's a bit more info. All was fine other than not getting blue dot in WiFi in maps. So I decided to uninstall maps, then install as user app from play store. Got immediate play services fc. Pretty much all the time. Maps works no better. This seems gapps/rom related.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
no. read the OP for clarification on the purpose of multi-dpi mods in the add-on package. if you have the xposed module to control DPI per-app, then there is no reason for you to modify the density value in build.prop, and thus no reason for my multi-dpi add-on to be flashed. this is because the play store uses the density value in build.prop (among other things) to determine which apps it should display in the search results.

as [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] has already explained, this is because of the newly required 100mb buffer. as you can see from your log, 89MB is the free space you had before. it is recommended to have at least a 100MB buffer on your system partition to avoid potential issues, and the free space checker now enforces this.

you can override this buffer value if you really want to. in the space.sh script located in the root of the gapps package, one of the first few lines determines the buffer value. you can make it lower if you really want to.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
beta gapps 148 is building and will be up shortly up. here's what i have done:

mini gapps is unchanged. for normal and full gapps, i have removed music from the system partition completely (don't panic, read on :D). TRDS music will run without FCing, but only if it's using the legacy version of libAppDataSearch.so, which google now needs the newest version of in order for its phone search function to work.

so, i bundled the legacy version of libAppDataSearch.so with Music, signed it as a user-installable apk (all you have to do is run it from a file explorer), and threw it in /data/media/0/ (the root of your internal storage directory) as "Music-TRDS-signed.apk". upon installing the package from within android, it will automatically put music in /data/app/ and put the legacy version of libAppDataSearch.so into /data/app-lib/com.google.android.music-1/, for use by ONLY the music app (so google now will still be using the newer version).

music stays TRDS, everything will work, everyone will be happy. :D:D:D

so, to reiterate, gapps 148 will remove music, and you need to install the apk (after enabling "unknown sources" under settings > security), which can be found in the root of your internal storage directory.

btw guys, this is a devdb thread now, and it would be helpful if, in addition to talking about them here, you could add any bugs you find to the "bug reports" tab near the top of the page. This allows me to keep better track of (and not forget about) them. Also allows you guys to see if a bug is already known, and lets you upvote the bug if it's relevant to you. This helps me prioritize bugs as well.

Oh yea, there's a feature request section too :p
[General SlimRoms Discussion] mrminor13:
All I'm seeing related to music, aside from the music folder, following the path you've provided, is a file called music2_hprof_data. No apks, after wiping system and flashing new gapps. (Not being a smartass, but to prevent you from asking: Yes, I've enabled root explorer in ES, as to see the file.) Let me know if I can be a help. I could care less :)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] chikimonke:
It's not in the root of your phone. It's in the root of the "sdcard" or "internal storage" so you don't even need root privileges to get to it.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
Yeah I agree with Caspa. This is intended. The white shadow is the inverse of the gray shadow Google used here. It's a design point that I think makes the search box appear as though it's floating on top of the other content on the page (Google even calls these types of drawables "raised," so they're intended to cast a shadow).

Also, from a design standpoint, if there were no white shadow here, it would be rather difficult to differentiate the border of the search box from the dark backgrounds of the cards below.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] mrminor13:
Either way the apk is not there.

Dang, after a reboot they are there again, at least from time to time.

This is dirty flashed by the way, with wipe system, cache, dalvic. Currently no time to do a clean flashing.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Nottezio:
I'm going to make this as detailed as possible

At first I download the zip then moved it to my SD card, then I booted up to recovery, reinstalled my rom (because I had to update it), and I cleaned my cache & dalvik, flash the 'normal' gapps package which is around 350mb then an error showed up saying insufficient storage, so I had to boot to system, and see if I have a sufficient storage available and I see I only have around 600 mb so it think that's maybe the problem, so I uninstalled some of my apps until it frees up around 1.1 gb storage, so reflashed the gapps package and it says the same thing; insufficient storage available or some sort of that
[General SlimRoms Discussion] fmc000:
Your apps are in /data whilst the gapps go to /system so there's no point in uninstalling user apps I'm afraid.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] VictorLapin:
Wipe /system along with caches, reflash rom, reflash gapps. That did it for me.

Heya [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] :) I'll post this in both places cause I'm not exactly sure where the issue lies so thought I'd drop this here and in the official Flo thread. But I've been noticing some issues the last few days with gapps and Slim and location stuffs on my Flo. Well, I started with freak_97's Optipop and the zero gapps package from the 19th. I noticed when I tried to enable smart lock with smart location as an unlock mechanism I would start to get the Google play services fc's. I noticed if I wiped play services data or disabled location services alltogether I wouldn't get the fc's anymore. Now Robbie dropped a new build for the Flo and I loaded that up with the new zero gapps from the 21'st. Now I noticed when I first load up google maps, location works perfectly fine. I went in to the smart lock ---> smart location and tried to enable that again and I got a popup saying something that my location has changed and I need to update my location. If I don't click that and then go back to maps, the location services don't work anymore. On the 19th gapps this is where I would get the fc's, on the 21st gapps I don't get the fc's anymore but location still doesn't work and I'm not sure how to bring it back short of a fullwipe. I went into play services, stopped all the services and wiped all the data and that didn't bring back location. So, I went into Faster GPS, changed up my .conf values and that still didn't do anything. Also a reboot didn't do anything. I do get the gps icon in the status bar now, but when I go into maps it won't lock my location. Soooo, not sure if it's a maps issue, a play services issue, or an issue with smart lock in Slim, but those are the 3 things I can think of.

Well, just wanted to share with you guys what I've noticed over the last few days on my Flo. :)

---------- Post added at 11:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

OK, don't thin it's a maps issue. I went into the google earth app and it's not finding my location there either. Strange thing is when I go into GPS test it shows me...

...so I have to think it's either play services or a ROM issue I'd think.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] compuguy1088:
If anyone is wondering, the new new gps (7.5.66) did not fix issues with location/smart lock/etc.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] tcat007:
? My n5 seems to be working fine. Face lock, maps, no fc. Dirty flashed latest Chroma (cleared cache and data for Gps and Google app first). Make sure you don't have Gps location turned off in privacy gaurd.

(the Gps I have is 7.3.29, so not latest, but in a recent mini here)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Rockhound53:
Ist there an older GPS version in the mini package for 5.0? It shows 7.3.29?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Renton91:
I've a Nexus 5 with Chroma but I can't flash normal gapps (that I've always flashed till now) because during flashing procedure it says insufficient memory. I tried even wiping system, dalvik and cache but nothing, how can I do it?

I can't get why I've always flashed that package but since 05/17 update that memory issue prevents it.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] compuguy1088:
It was a clean install, no privacy guard options disabled in gps, installed apk over 7.3 (correct version as well).
[General SlimRoms Discussion] bobby janow:
Same thing happening on my n5. GP services are totally messed up. I just can't believe they can't get this fixed already. Trusted places was flawless in 6.x GPS and not since.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] pkelly517:
I saw the GPS FC issue earlier today, long before reading this thread for updates.

I rebooted. Not much better.

I cleared cache in Apps->All->Google Play Services. FCs stopped. Admittedly, I generally don't use apps that ask for a GPS lock, but I haven't seen it in the 6 hours since.

YMMV.

[General SlimRoms Discussion] DJMartini:
So, I've looked through OP, logs and change logs....can someone explain to me what changed from 5/15 to the next update that caused everyone (including myself) to have errors now with 'size' of GAPPS? I find this ridiculous. I never had problems flashing PA gapps in the past and since they are gone majority of ROM devs are requesting to flash Slim which I have been for sometime without problem.

Since that date something has changed though. Additionally, I've always used 'normal' Slim GAPP package and since everyone is saying 'use smaller gapps' I've tried mini AND zero, both not working now saying "* old or incompatible gapps currently installed*" When did that change? So, when new GAPP updates you can't dirty flash newer GAPPS over the older 1's? Makes no sense.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] prbassplayer:
Makes perfect sense if you searched the tread as you said. Also did you do what the incompatible error said? In the off chance that it is a mistake then (for the 3rd time)
[General SlimRoms Discussion] Haidary.T:
Is it safe to remove stuff from Kitkat Mini Gapps by comparing it with the 5.1 Zero Gapps? Could there be any issues with libs or something else?

It seems to be the latest google play services (>7.5.62) causes the GPS issue, since all gapps containing these play services will lead to GPS failure

I just googled "Google Play services 7.3.29" and got the apk from apk mirror. To figure out the right version of Google Play services for your Android device, go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play services, and look at the last 3 numbers in the parentheses. You'll see something like -XYZ - just get the apk which ends with the same numbers as the one on your device.

Also Banks updated his gapps to fix the issue, you can always grab the apk from his gapps.
