- When I was saying that I Flashed the Gapps update without wiping anything - He'd already flashed the Rom and Gapps - But he'd Flashed Zero Gapps and was wanting to Flash Mini to get Gnow :)

certainly! open gapps is maintained by a team of developers [MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION], [MENTION=3989659]Rapper_skull[/MENTION], [MENTION=2883233]eugenesan[/MENTION], and others) whose combined knowledge and professional experience far outweighs mine. seriously, when there's a gapps problem i have, maarten usually has the answer. [MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION] and his team have worked hard to (almost) fully automate the gapps update process. they have scripts that automatically go out to apkmirror and other hosts, fetch the updated apks, and put them in the necessary places (i do this part manually). opengapps has a lot of specific customizations and features, such as aroma support, config-files (for pre-configuring which apps will get flashed), and a lot more. as far as the actual gapps packages go, there are more to choose from. they support 8 different package types (pico, micro, nano, mini, etc...), and also support x86 (with plans for future x86_64 support). additionally, they still provide 5.0 and 4.4 packages (which i stopped supporting awhile ago).

only thing that slim gapps has that opengapps does not is dynamic support for arm and arm64 - you can flash any version of slim_gapps on arm OR arm64 devices, and the package will determine the correct files to copy over at flash time. with opengapps, arm and arm64 each have separate packages (not necessarily a bad thing, because the download sizes are dramatically reduced because of this).

one last thing, something that's been on my mind for awhile now: slim gapps was originally started for TRDS support back in the good old days of slimbean by [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION]. i continued to provide TRDS gapps during the slimkat era. TRDS never (officially) made its way into lollipop, and with marshmallow we now have DayNight theme, as well as RRO. special gapps for TRDS functionality is a thing of the past thanks to aosp's DayNight theme (basically google-branded TRDS). slim gapps won't be around forever, as they really aren't necessary anymore. xda doesn't need 20 different gapps package providers - they're all providing essentially the same set of google's closed-source applications, and tbh i just don't have the motivation anymore. furthermore, i'd really like to focus more on the development side of slim/android rather than continuing to spend time on a redundant project. in the days after slim_gapps, i recommend either opengapps or [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] gapps - both are solid choices.

i'm not ending slim_gapps immediately, but you'll start to see updates less frequently.

...that was a little longer than a jiffy, wasn't it? :p
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
oh, well in that case, it would most likely work without issue, but again, you might need to go in and manually enable the permissions in gnow
[General SlimRoms Discussion] hewhomustnotbenamed:
That was excellently explained. Thank you so much for letting us all know. And thank you for providing us with these packages. I would wish for you to continue supporting it but you are absolutely correct on deciding to focus on developing a slim ROM :) (when open gapps already have automated processes going along)

I remember the days of slimbean (Slim project has such great potential but they ran into some problems with their company, as I read and could not get going at the same speed ever since) I hope they come back

And it felt great to see such a nicely explained response from a busy developer. Thank you for not ending it in a jiffy :angel::good::good::good:

If you wipe caches and system (leaving data alone), and reflash ROM + new Gapps, you should be fine.

I have been using your gapps since the early days when this project created, and to be honest, I have tried Open Gapps not less than 10 times since it is recommended by my ROM developer, but you know what, I re-flash the rom and your gapps right away. I don't know why, but I have never run into any problems at all with your gapps and my phone is not easily get hot as well, but other gapps heat my phone so much. Maybe my phone is too old I think.

That is why in my mind your gapps is always superior to others. please dont stop it, 1 month 1 update is enough unless (dont know whether I use the correct conjunction) you don't leave it is all good.

[MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION]

I have a small query...Not sure if it's already attended to...My device runs a unofficial cm13 build ( arm64 device ) and some apps like ola,amazon,etc in playstore throw out "app is incompatible with this device" issue. Log shows restriction 9 issue such as this

[1] LibraryUtils.isAvailable: com.olacabs.customer not available [restriction=9].

DocUtils.getAvailabilityRestrictionResourceId: Item is not available. Reason: 9

A bit of search around the thread shows that it could be the dpi issue and cm13 has the persist.sys.lcd_density patch as well. But my device sets dpi via init. ( Code reference here )

I manually tried setting the persist prop in build prop but the issue remains same....Do u have any thoughts on this issue ?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
according to the init script you linked, your device's density is set to either 320 or 480 (this is set in ro.sf.lcd_density), both of which are standard densities and shouldn't cause a dpi-related play store incompatibility message. play store doesn't look at persist.sys.lcd_density at all - it uses ro.sf.lcd_density always to determine compatibility.

reason code 9 is google's generic (vague, non-specific, very unhelpful) reason code for any kind of hardware restriction. yes, dpi could be included in this case, but i doubt it as long as your build.prop has 320 or 480 as the value for ro.sf.lcd_density. it's probably something else.

edit: you mentioned you were using a custom cm13 build that uses the persist.sys.lcd_density patch. do you have a DPI chooser in your build (in packages_apps_Settings)? if so, you may want to make certain that you're writing the new density to persist.sys.lcd_density and not to ro.sf.lcd_density:

SystemProperties.set("[COLOR="Red"]persist.sys.lcd_density[/COLOR]", Integer.toString(value));

[General SlimRoms Discussion] Santhosh M:
Yes cm13 by default has dpi chooser inbuilt in it.

My device dpi isn't set via build prop like i said....just via init...Also i have manually adding persist.sys.lcd_density=280 ( tried 320 as well ) to build prop and rebooted to recovery and wiped my data and setup stuff again newly. But still it complains about incompatibility of apps.

By telling persist.sys.lcd_density i meant this commit Allow custom density setting in cm13. So like i said above i tried setting persist in build prop, but the end result is same.

How could i debug this or workaround ?
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
changing persist.sys.lcd_density isn't going to do anything for compatibility issues because that's not the property the play store uses to determine compatibility.

debugging? not too sure...

workaround? try replacing your /system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk with this version.

all i did was force the isAvailable method to return true, just like i did here. hopefully this is a suitable workaround (for now anyway).

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
figures as soon as I do something, it already needs to be updated because a newer version is out, like 3 hours later... I'll try to get an updated one up this weekend.

might even update gapps :p
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
new 6.0 gapps up. read the changelog for details.
[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
i updated the hacked playstore to the new version (6.2.10) (same link as before). sry it took me so long - google went and played hide and seek with that method in the new version. it's no longer called isAvailable when decompiled to smali - it was hiding in a completely different place (smali\com\google\android\finsky\utils\cy.smali:224 if you were wondering)

for the record, it will never be automated in any of my gapps builds. this is a dirty workaround hack to bypass play store app restrictions caused by hardware, locale, screen size, device type, etc, and really should only be used as a workaround - not a solution.

What in particular about Mini gapps allows for "Ok, google" support. Slim zero allows for later installation of Velvet (Google) but for some reason I can never enable "Ok, google" anywhere (it doesn't appear in the settings under "Enable Ok, Google in the google app") unless I use slim mini or open gapps nano. I was just wondering what services or change in code made those packages support "Ok, google" anywhere. I can send a screenshot but I know this isn't a bug :D

[General SlimRoms Discussion] dankoman:
when you change the value of ro.sf.lcd_density in build.prop to a nonstandard value, do you notice any apps missing from the results list in play store? if not, you've done it correctly.

you should note that most roms nowadays use a different way of setting dpi (persist.sys.lcd_density) and no longer require hacked multi-dpi gapps, so it's entirely possible that you won't even need the multi-dpi addon.

you can use slim gapps on any 5.1 or 6.0 rom (not factory images) for devices whose processors use arm or arm64 architecture. i believe shield k1 uses arm, so yeah, you should be okay using these gapps.
