Hi guys,

I am having some trouble with the GApps on my Flounder (Nexus 9).

After flashing TWRP and ParanoidAndroid 5.0 Alpha + this GApps package via Nexus Root Toolkit first (yes I was lazy), I am now getting "Unknown issue with Google Play services" error message and Google Newsstand does not work at all - beside some minor hiccups and crashes with the other Google Apps.

I have tried:

- Flashing full modular instead of Google stock GApps

- Redownload both ROM and GApps, reflashing everything after factory reset

- Downloaded 20150125a instead of the current version, reflash and factory reset, but no change.

- Flashing TWRP again manually and redoing the whole flashing process

Is there anything I am too blind to see? Did the toolkit mess things up? What can I do to get this working again?

Thanks in advance,

hoomel

Good job on trying to flash 32bit Gapps on 64bit device :D:D:D

The reason you are getting this error is because you have Google Play Services installed for 32bit and you need 64bit version of it + your google now feature is most likely broken, as it requires 64bit libs as well.

You need to use 64bit Gapps from Lollipopalooza thread (Nexus 9 section) or use Minimal Google Apps from here http://xdaforums.com/android/software/gapps-google-apps-minimal-edition-t2943330 these are the only gapps packages atm that have 64bit services and libs installed. Beware though that Minimal Gapps do not come with Google Now Launcher and do not have 64bit libs needed for Google Now functionality for "Always on" state either.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] hoomel:
Ouch :eek:

How in the world did I overlook that? :laugh:

Thank you very much for your help!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Nikki1993:
No worries, happens. It's a new device and believe me I wish PA GApps were compatible with it too. The best Gapps package I have ever seen. Maybe some day :D
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jonasdoess:
Hi !

I'm on cm12 and the camera is really buggy and laggy, I can't almost use it! Do you have any idea to fix that or do you have any explanation?

Thanks in advance!
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] chewdaniel:
wrong room, maybe?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jonasdoess:
No, it's because it seems to be because of GAPPS, others users got the same issue, it's why I ask :).
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
it's definitively a problem with your rom... not this GApps package...

even if it was a problem with the Google Camera included in this package, the PA GApps package itself is not the cause... you will have to check with google directly or google support forum to see if you can find a solution if it's really a problem with the app and not your rom.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Vinnom:
Sorry for late response. This is strange. Your pa-gapps log said that you were doing a dirty flash...

Edit: sorry, just saw thst you already fixed it :)

I ran into similar lags and device not returning from a reboot on CM12 builds 2/5 and 2/6

Anyways, problems solved when I installed the CM12 GAPPS package "gapps-lp-20141212-signed.zip". The link is on the CM12 wiki page.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
We must have hit the bottom of the barrel if we're looking to remove 125KB sized apps. :) I'll add it.

Here's the deal. The Play Store is ONLY serving up v1.1.8 Version 1.1.12 is from the Factory Images, but has never been made available on the Play Store. I had been including v1.1.12, since it was newer, but due to the number of problems it caused, I revcerted to 1.1.8 and all the problems seem to have disappeared. Since the Play Store is what I prefer to use as the version guide, I will be sticking with v.1.1.8.

Read FAQ #8.

I've been wondering when the first Nexus 9 would try and flash these GApps. I'll try and prevent the installer from even running on the Nexus 9 to prevent this from happening in the future.

Seems like we all need another lesson in exactly what a GApps installer does....

First of all, all a GOOD GApps installer does is place Google's applications in the proper place on your device.... PERIOD. When the GApps installer is finished installing, the ONLY thing left on your device is Google's applications installed in the proper place. Almost every GApps package I've examined here on XDA does and excellent job of this and NONE of them would function any better or worse than the other - ASSUMING THEY WERE INSTALLED AS PART OF A CLEAN INSTALL.

The biggest problem we're having right now is that we're still in the early beta stages of CM12 and most AOSP ROM's. Yet, instead of accepting the fact that your ROM is a beta or alpha, people come here and complain to the GApps Guy - the one guy who didn't even write any of the code that's running on your device. It's really almost comical, if you ask me.

The key to having a solid installation is starting with a Clean Install. I am convinced that a large number of users (and I mean LARGE) do not understand what a Clean install involves. I've seen answers from "wiping the dalvik" to "formatting my SDCard" and everything in between. To help remind eveyone, here's my definition of a Clean Install:

A 'Clean' install consists of the following

:

Factory Reset (or manually wipe (format) Data partition - Internal Storage wipe is NOT necessary)

Manually wipe (format) your System partition

Flash your ROM

Flash GApps package

Flash any Addon Modules (optional)

Wipe the Dalvik & cache

Reboot

[HIGHLIGHT]NOTE:[/HIGHLIGHT] YOU WILL LOSE ALL OF YOUR DATA AND APPLICATION SETTINGS using this method. Be sure to do a nandroid backup prior in case you want to restore later.

I can promise a 90+% success rate in fixing any GApps issues you're experiencing will be solved if you follow the steps above. It's also the reason I avoid using beta and alpha versions of ROM's.

Tried Micro, mini and nano and kept getting installation aborted, error 6 problems.

This was direct after flashing to latest CWM with Odin. Fresh CM12 nightly via zip and then gapps install.

Have had to choose a different Gapps installer for now.

Would it be possible to put the hangouts dialer in the Google Stock Package...

It is a stock nexus app... And it doesn't update very often...

Thanks...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Read FAQ #1

What Nexus device comes with Hangouts Dialer installed? I must've missed this.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] rignfool:
I swear it was on my nexus 6 when I got it... But I was on stock for about 2 days...
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] mk2vr6:
Ignore me! Used TWRP on the wifes S4 mini and my S4 and both went smooth.

Pico is perfect for a bloatfree installation.

Clean install? Logs?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sid21:
Installed clean Mahdi Rom, but as always when i flashed it first, doesnt install gapps and only playstore gets installed and on second flash of gapps individually installs the apps which i arent needed at all and doesn't install the ones i need most from the list.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] da900:
Same here.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] diskoteer:
Did the same stupid thing and flashed the micro gapps following flashing cm12 on my N9. Got a lot of Google Play Service issues in gmail, but besides that everything works well so far. After removing Google Play services using TB I installed the proper -446 Play services and got gmail to work. If there should be no possibility to add the proper -446 version of Play services to the gapps package, can someone give me an advice how I could exchange the Play services after flashing the PA GApps - via flashable zip or using aroma file browser in recovery? Don't wanna miss these GApps...

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sperelli:
can you please tell me where?? I can't find the option to remove all devices/backups at once
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
You can not remove devices... Only backups of those devices...

In the Android section... Bottom of the list, you have a link to delete all backups
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] sperelli:
I don't have that option. How is it possible???
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] abnormalreply:
When I use this package (pico), Poweramp is unable to verify my licenses because Play Services is apparently modified. Is there a way to fix this?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
I don't see that either :(

I have 3 backups for devices I hardly use these days (plus are really old). Useless
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] JaagupKu:
I am getting Status 6 error when i am trying to install it.

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
If you click on Android and you don't have any button to delete backups, it means that you don't have an idea backups.

For some reason, since I installed CM12 and PA gapps a fe the weeks ago, no backup were made yet.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] drewski_1:
I have 3 backups that appear when I do a fresh install

Can you post a screenshot?

Google Calendar app

Hi I have installed the stock package on both a CM12 Nightly and the Paranoid Android Lollipop Alpha and the Google Calendar app keeps crashing when I add a contact name to the 'Enter titles, people and places' of a 'New event'.

However, I am not sure if the problem is with the stock package as I installed Google Calendar from the Play Store on Paranoid Android Lollipop Alpha and I still had this problem.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, have you been able to solve it?

Thanks
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
if you don't see a button to delete backups, you don't have any backups... you are only seeing your device configured/connected to your Google account (exactly what I'm seeing also after deleting my backup data).

here's my screen shot (it's in French... but you should be able to figure it out).

the first two devices in my list are those that I'm currently using...

last third are old devices that I do not own anymore...

at the end of the section, there's a blue button to delete backups... it will only delete backup data and not the devices listed in this section.

As you can see, only my Notepro 12.2 has some backup data. This device is running stock TW rom.

my Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900W8) does not have any backup data even if the backup is enabled on my device... some says that it due to something no configured properly with the GApps package (something I really doubt)... and others are saying that it's a rom problem. Who to believe? I don't know. I'm doing my backup with titanium... but it would be interesting to also have this feature working.

Gmail - no exchange option

Hi all,

Not sure if this is a problem with gapps or my Rom

I cant get exchange account options on Gmail.

I'm running Nexus 5 with Resurrection Remix Rom 5.0.2

Any help appreciated please.

A little help, please

I'd like a couple of volunteers to flash the addon below. Don't worry, the installation will fail and will NOT install anything on your device, however I want to look at a couple of the debug logs that will be generated just to make certain that everything is in order before I begin to release the addons.

Once the install has failed, please attach your debug logs to a post here. The logs will be called 'pa_chromebeta_addon_debug_logs.tar.gz' and will be found in the same folder as the zip when you flash. Thanks, in advance for your help!

EDIT: REMOVED Will post another test soon. Please check back later

Just to let you know... When I tried, the logs were in my pa-gapps folder... Not in the same folder as the zip file.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
You're right. They logs will be placed in the same folder as your gapps-config. However, if you don't have a gapps-config they will be in the same folder as the zip.

The new addons will read your gapps-config, but they will only look for the 'Test' (simulated install option) or the 'NoDebug' (no Debug logs option). Everything else in your gapps-config will be ignored.

Sorry. Hangouts Dialer is not on the Nexus 6 Factory Image.

This is not GApps related and NONE OF THE APPS included in these GApps are modified! They are all direct from Google.

This is not GApps related, however a Clean Install is almost guaranteed to fix this issue.

Read FAQ #4

I made that happen just for your device. It was completely intentional. BaNkS told me he didn't want to lose you as a customer.

Did you even read your logs? In case you didn't here's what they said

# Begin User's gapps-config

*** NOT USED ***

# End User's gapps-config​

What that means is that your gapps-config was NOT USED. The most likely reason is that you named it improperly. Check for spelling and extra spaces and try again. Since it will "solve alot of users issues", I'll even do it for you. Download the link below and place it the same folder as the gapps zip file and try it again.

I would also recommend using the latest version of TWRP. It's 2.8.4.0 for your Nexus 4.

Nothing new in 5.2.12 anyway, just some bug fixes.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Klueze:
i just installed the newest nightly (update from previous stable) from cyanogenmod and installed the gapps from xda-developers for android 5.0. everything is working fine, only the PlayStore makes problems. i can open the play store, but it says it has no connection. and also it opens the sidemenu with only Settings, Help & Feedback and "Einlösen" (dont know the english word for it)

i tryed to wipe dalvik & cache, tryed to deactivate and activate playstore-app and play-service-app and also deleted cache from these apps. i also tryed to reinstall the gapps. PlayStore Build Version is 5.1.11

i also noticed that it says "synchronizationproblem" under the google konto

any one else with this problem? any further ideas?

Hi guys, I am using cm12 for the Galaxy s5 900T and using these gapps causes major battery drain. I was using the gapps in the unified development thread titled unofficial cm12 with no problems. Would anyone know why? I checked wakelocks and all point to Google play services. I am having to full wipe and reset cm12 to put the old gapps back on.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] zadigre:
This has nothing to do with the gapps package itself...

The Google play service might cause battery drain on your device... Installing an other package might install a different version which will work better on your device.

If you get the same version with the other package, I bet you that you will have the same battery drain.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Klueze:
i thought that it only protocolls the install process and that the installation was okay... but okay =) here are my logfilfes

Did you already wipe the data of the Play Store as well? At least you didn't write it. ;)
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Blac Caesar:
There is a way to get the Google Dialer v2.0 on your own.. I'll PM you both, the details. I've done it on my N5 n N4 and it works fine on both phones.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Francismori7:
Perhaps the fact that they are nexuses changed somerhing? Im on a GS4
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Blac Caesar:
Hmm, I dunno.. I mean, both phones are running on AOSP 5.0.1_r1 which their ROMs came with all the AOSP apps. I used the .gapps-config to remove them, n replaced the AOSP dialer using the method I sent you. I hope it works for you though :) I pulled the apk from a deodexed ROM that I was using previously on my Nexus 5
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Your log raises a question for me...

Currently, the installer will install Google Exchange Services (and replace stock/AOSP Exchange Services) on all Micro and above GApps packages. Should I change this to ONLY INSTALL Google Exchange Services if the user is installing Gmail?

As I understand it, the only benefit of using Google Exchange Services is the integration with Gmail. If the user is not installing Gmail, is there any benefit to installing Google Exchange Services?

There were significant problems when we tried this with KitKat GApps. However, if someone can come up with a method that works across mutiple ROM's and devices, I'd be willing to take another look. However, I'm really not interested in doing the leg work on this, myself.

Nope. It's one or the other
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] provolinoo:
Please share it with [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] so he can try to add it in the gapps package
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Blac Caesar:
I can't yet.. As my method seems to only work for Nexus phones. Like [MENTION=2777334]TKruzze[/MENTION] said, it's only a viable thing to share if it works on all phones n ROMs
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] dandemonic:
To clarify why I excluded Gmail, I have multiple Gmail and email accounts signed into my Gmail, I wanted to try restore my backup from TiBu, to avoid signing them all in again, but realised belatedly it's not possible as some of my Gmail accounts need two step verification.

Apologies if this has caused any confusion.

Thanks again for your hard work :thumbup:
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Vinnom:
Maybe isn't a good thing for now, at least. I'm not using gmail app, but I'm using Inbox app. It needs google exchange service too, right?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] HarbingerIV:
Installed the beta over the alpha without issue. I appreciate your hard work on these GApps packages. I've attached the log for your reference. I noticed it didn't detect my recovery which is TWRP 2.8.2.0 although, that's not an issue for me but I thought I'd mention it. Keep up the great work!

Cheers! :cowboy:
