This has been asked and answered over and over again in this thread...

Google Play Movies & TV is not part of the PA GApps Mini Modular package.

Exclude it from PA GApps install, and then (after booting Android) install it from Play Store.

Any idea why it isn't removing AOSP calendar?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
You're answer its written right there in your screenshot. Clean install needed for google calendar. It only removes aosp calendar if google version is installed.

LG G2 VS980
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] spyd4r:
But it was a clean CM12 install with the gapps over when I first installed it. AOSP still there.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] jesssiii:
Your screenshot says differently. Did you have any other gapps in system? Did you wipe /system as well as data?

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] spyd4r:
i think i may have tried to run it a second time to see if it would remove it.. perhaps thats the error in the message above.

For everyone having Play Movies problems, it's not a gapps problem (I flashed PA, Slim, and banks). It's a library problem within some lollipop ROMs. It affected Play Movies and Netflix for me.

Flashing this zip solved the problem:

but somehow they managed to reduce the reported /system partition size from 3GB to 866MB TOTAL >.< it's not being repartitioned in any way too... maybe just a screwup in the rom itself. oh well... it's still experimental/alpha so we'll see how it goes. i'm using a gapps-config anyway so i'm good :D

I installed this along with the Lollipop build for the Oneplus One. I did a clean install, yet Google Play Services keeps crashing when I'm on my phone. It's really annoying and pops up twice. I've tried a few different GApps and I can't figure out a solution. I've also done three different clean installs today with different GApps for Lollipop to no avail. All help is greatly appreciated :)

Btw I used the full GApps package

I had a similar issue. I reinstalled the ROM and Gapps, but what seemed to fix it was fixing permissions in TWRP after flashing but before rebooting. HTH!

Does it work with Cm12? I cant flash it on CM12 , in recovery comes an error.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Wh1t3Rose:
It's not the ROM. It's your recovery. If you are using CWR, drop it. CWR is no longer being maintained and is out of date. Switch to the latest TWRP.

If you are on the latest TWRP then it's a corrupt download.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
I think that you should include in the list of files to delete that may be left by some ROMs also the libs from /system/lib that you are going to install in the app folder in /system/app and /system/priv-app

Remouting /tmp for devices with little memory

Not sure if it's common knowledge but when trying to install the larger packages on my low memory (both ram & rom) device (SII/I9100), I find it useful to increase my /tmp partion and sideload (the sideload would usually fail at 96% for the stock package)

It requires recovery to give you shell (I'm not sure if this is standard as I've only done this on 1 device), but the process is

boot to recovery

run adb shell

run mount to see the original mount options

run mount -o remount,size=$NEW_SIZE,$ORIGINAL_OPTIONS /tmp

adb sideload $STOCK

$NEW_SIZE, should be slightly more than the size of the size, but should be fine with the entire size of the devices ram (As long as you don't end up using it)

This is pretty safe as the only reason /tmp is limited to 50% of your ram is because that is the linux kernel default and while you are in the recovery shell nothing else is going to use much of the ram

[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Alxoom33:
Read the OP and FAQs.

FAQ 8 you need to wipe System partition if coming from non pa gapps. Otherwise will not flash. An error log will say that in the same folder from where where you flashed your gapps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
Since the installer ONLY looks for the reserved Key Words, and ignores everything else, you can pretty much put anything you want in your gapps-config. Just make certain you don't accidentally use any of the key words (keeping in mind that spaces, case, and separate lines don't matter).

Since those files don't appear to belong to Google, it seems to me that they should be the responsibility of the ROM developer to add to his/her ROM. However, if this turns out not to be the case, or the problems become more widespread, I could add those files to the GApps packages, however I'd prefer not to unless it's absolutely necessary.

Thanks for the report. It appears your ROM dev has added those Google support files to his/her ROM which, technically, violates Google's AOSP guidelines. You might let the ROM dev know. However, in any case, you will not experience any problems as a result since these GApps will replace them with the same versions.

That makes no sense to me, however I'd be interested in hearing your reasons for recommending this action. The reason I think it doesn't make sense is that the ROM would be looking for these files in /system/lib. If I were to delete them from that location, I would then have to add symlinks back to the versions in the app subfolder, and that could get very messy.

Your suggestions look good for low memory devices, however I was very careful in designing these GApps to make certain that only a very small subset of files is copied into /tmp at a time. The largest of these would be Chrome (about 46MB), Google Play Services (no more than 38MB), Search (about 37MB), and Google+ (about 30 MB). In addition, I also clean up /tmp after I'm finished installing so you're not left with junk taking up space in /tmp. Assuming you have 50-60 MB of space in /tmp, you should be okay. However, there are probably other zip installers out there that will leave your /tmp partition with extra junk, but there's nothing I can do about that.

Based on the log snippet you posted, you've done a Clean install, yet your device shows that a GApps package was previously installed. This means you either flashed another GApps package prior to flashing these GApps, or your ROM already came with GApps. Either way, you're not going to be able to use these GApps in either of those situations.

That's NOT correct. Play Store IS INCLUDED in Pico GApps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] RiotingPacifist:
Sideloading copies the whole package to /tmp before installing it.

I've just realised a better solution is to store it in a usbstorage partition (such as UMS on the sII) and install from zip to minimize ram usage, but if for whatever reason you can't (i.e I didn't realise this was safe to do) or don't want to to that increasing /tmp lets you store the full zip before it starts getting unpacked during the install, not as useful as I thought but might help somebody in some edgecase.

Comment out "inline"

Since TKruzze clarified that

You can obviously "comment out the word itself", like

C#hrome

Maybe that helps to solve your problem.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Kppqju77:
Yes I was thinking about that [emoji6]
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Rapper_skull:
I think that the default behavior is to look for libs in the app folder (in fact on stock ROMs there are symlinks to /system/lib). Some devs may want to follow this method, but your GApps package will only delete the symlink and not the actual lib. The main reason is space. Having libraries like the Chrome one (33 MB) twice will prevent the installation of bigger GApps packages.

My guess is you're using SuperSu Beta 2.42 which could have been installed after Gapps, it was a known issue of it removing YouTube. The updated beta has been fixed. If this is not your case then please post your log for the dev to look at.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] TKruzze:
That would be impossible since Google Camera isn't even in the Full package.

I'm afraid I still have to disagree with your premise. If what you say were to happen, that would mean the ROM dev would have to violate Google's AOSP guidelines and add in Google's proprietary libraries into their ROM. Once a ROM dev crosses that line, it's probably best that they devleop their own GApps package since the possibility of conflict with these GApps would increase dramatically.

Below is the ENTIRE LIST of GApps support libs that are symlinked in the Stock ROM. As I see it - all of them, with the possible exception of libvcdecoder_jni.so, libfacelock_jni.so, and libvorbisencoder.so are proprietary Google files and would never be used in any ROM. The three possible exceptions I just mentioned account for less than 3MB of space, so even if the ROM dev duplicated them, the space implications would be very minor.

/system/app/Chrome/lib/arm:
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libchrome.2125.509.so -> /system/lib/libchrome.2125.509.so

/system/app/FaceLock/lib/arm:
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libfacelock_jni.so -> /system/lib/libfacelock_jni.so

/system/app/GoogleEars/lib/arm:
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libvorbisencoder.so -> /system/lib/libvorbisencoder.so

/system/app/LatinImeGoogle/lib/arm:
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libjni_latinimegoogle.so -> /system/lib/libjni_latinimegoogle.so

/system/priv-app/Velvet/lib/arm:
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libgoogle_hotword_jni.so -> /system/lib/libgoogle_hotword_jni.so
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so -> /system/lib/libgoogle_recognizer_jni_l.so
lrw-r--r-- root root u:object_r:system_file:s0 libvcdecoder_jni.so -> /system/lib/libvcdecoder_jni.so

Thanks for the report. Since you didn't provide a complete log nor identify the exact ROM, I'm assuming THIS LINK is to the ROM you installed? If that's the ROM you installed, I checked and none of the files shown in the log snippet you posted were contained in the ROM, so I'm not able to determine if there's an issue or not. Were there any other zips installed before you flashed PA GApps? Please do a debug install, next time, and post the logs so I can make certain there's no problem.

I've had a couple of similar reports, but I could really use a debug log to determine what's going on. Are you, by any chance, also flashing Chainfire's SuperSU zip installer AFTER installing GApps? His installer does mess with YouTube, so I'm wondering if that's where the problem may lie?

EDIT: I see [MENTION=1481114]purian23[/MENTION] already beat me to the suggestion. Good to see great minds think alike. :)

Anyone? lol.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] cowst:
Sorry for the link, I forgot it, and especially that for Lollipop version he moved from xda to G+.

Anyway, it is correct, and apparently the rom works fine...ish.

It was a dirty flash over KK version, so I did a factory reset, but I still got /system almost full, so I did a manual wipe and reflashed, and I was still getting the same: insufficient storage when trying to install your stock gapps.

Then I used the exclude list to ignore some and it worked, but I got 3 warnings (unfortunately I don't have the log with me) and camera, keyboard and calendar were not installed (the warning said something about installing them only on a clean installation. I tried after a wipe and installed ROM and gapps with TWRP, I thought that is clean).

I installed them from Play and all works.

So my guess is that on N4 with <1GB /system partition, installing that ROM (or any Lollipop?) fills almost half of it, and the stock is too big to fit in the remaining space without removing some of the apps.
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] Zephkiel:
I got the exact same problem witj the same device and same rom.

My knowledge is very very limited exept flashing and backuping, so perhaps we could expand the system partition, taping in the internal storage space?
[General Paranoid Android Discussion] michelsberg:
I wondered from the beginning: Why is the debug install not default? People no-debug-install all the time, then complain with hand-waving descriptions of ugly flash monsters that happened...

I manually put a "debug" in the config and see no disadvantage besides creating the foo.tar.gz, which is pretty small. Do yourself a favor and invert the default. People should opt-out ("nodebug") not opt-in.

Bootloop

Hi,

So, twice now I have the same issue on 2 ROMs.

If I flash the ROM only, it boots no issue. I can then flash Gapps and they work (but I don't get the Initial Setup screen).

If I flash the ROM and Gapps (Stock Google) back to back, I get stuck in a bootloop.

Is this a known issue ?

Hello!

I can´t install any of your packages :(

I flashed a 5.0.2 Room into my Galaxy S3 (This one) and every time I tried to install your GAPPs fails. First I used CWM and I got some binary file error or status error 6. Now I switched to TWRP following your FAQ but I still can´t install them. Keep getting the "error executing updater binary in zip"

What I'm doing wrong? I managed to install other GAPPs but I want yours!

Are the zips you provide flashables from recovery? are they compatible with any other ROM rather than Paranoid?

Thanks very much for the help

if you can connect to a PC look at your storage and tou will see files and folders that are not visible to the phone.

Also use Notepad++ to edit the config file from windows rather than Notepad, it preserves the formatting and will not try to force an extension oto the file.
