Replacing the launcher is fine. Not sure about the second part. SwiftKey isn't part of GApps and I'm not sure the TBO flashable of it replaces anything.

So we'll say no to the keyboard question.

Can I use aroma to further fine tune an existing nano install? Eg. replace gallery, launcher and browser.

How would I do that, do I have to uninstall chrome, pixel launcher, photos first?
[Android General] raulx222:
Just run AROMA and choose which apps you want to install then which preinstalled apps to remove. You don't have to uninstall apps.

May seem a little off-topic, but could someone explain to me what Dynamic Gapps are? I've never quite understood it.

Go to the Dynamic Gapps thread and find out.

That should've been the first thought/action.

[Android General] marcdw:
Umm, the description and contents of the gapps and the only entry in the FAQ is as simple and easy as it gets. It is not possible to not understand the explanation.

As part of the answer says, don't get hungup on the differences anyway.

[GAPPS] [7.1.1] [ARM/ARM64] [February 15th] Dynamic GApps

Doesn't really matter. Dynamic is Dynamic, Open GApps is Open GApps, Delta is Delta, A-Gapps is A-Gapps.

Just stick with Open GApps.

I forgot something. The Full Dynamic package doesn't replace the stock/default apps like Open GApps does. So one would wind up with two calendars, two cameras, maybe two clocks(?), in their ROM.

Just a heads up in case you give them a try.

If I already flashed the micro gapps, can I run this to get the Pixel Launcher?
[Android General] AljenAraneta:
All I want from this Gapps Aroma package is Gboard. Everything else I already have installed but for some reason Gboard wasn't working for me back then so I had to remove it. But now I want it back. Can I just select Gboard in the installation process?
[Android General] anuraganasane:
Ofcourse
[Android General] AljenAraneta:
Thanks. And one more thing though I don't if I should really be asking this but do correct me if I'm wrong. So the installation process that I should follow is

- reflash my ROM

- flash selected Gapps app

- reflash SU

Or just probably flash what Gapps app I need. Idk. ?
[Android General] anuraganasane:
Using aroma you can flash any app you want. I too use aroma, I only flash calendar, chrome, phone. Rest I download from playstore. Also I remove the corresponding stock appⁿ
[Android General] AljenAraneta:
Alright. I see. And one last thing, flashing Gboard alone doesn't mean that I have to go through ROM and SU reflashing right? I mean I just go ahead and flash Gboard through Aroma and then reboot like normal? Is that it?
[Android General] anuraganasane:
Without using aroma can I install Chrome calendar phone by keeping the text file where the rom is stored. The text file contains - include chrome calendar phone. like this can i install it using pico?
[Android General] marcdw:
We covered this recently. If you mean is it possible to add Gboard after the fact later via Aroma installer, I don't think so. We tested a few times and found that existing gapps get removed, replaced by base/required stuff plus the one item selected. So if you previously used aroma to install a number of items and then later decide you want to _add_ something else, it doesn't work that way. To not lose anything you would have to make sure to reselect the previous items plus the new item you want.

For just Gboard I would suggest flashing the Delta Gapps Gboard add-on instead.

I appreciate this. I was able to use Aroma and added Gboard with the process. However my dialer got taken out. Lol. Just flashed it again. But I still got the same crappy Gboard I had to begin with. The one that keeps getting errors everytime I try to tweak the preferences.
[Android General] marcdw:
Ah, I see. I wonder... Newer Gboard 6.2+ has changed a bit (especially regarding being themed) so I stick to 6.1.71.x.

Where the Delta Gapps addons are located previous builds exist. Since the zips are based on date and not version I'll have to find the right ones.

Ah, here ya go...

[Android General] AljenAraneta:
Still got the same thing. ? It's still acting up.
[Android General] marcdw:
Can you describe what's acting up? I used one stock-based ROM on my G3 that came with Gboard as standard and it wasn't working right. No emojis for instance.

Hmm, maybe due to some cruft left behind you can clear cache & data of Gboard, reset permissions, and see if it behaves better.
[Android General] AljenAraneta:
Gboard works if I use it right off the bat. However when I go to the menu to tweak its preferences or any advanced settings, it just crashes.
[Android General] marcdw:
That might be a ROM issue. I've never experienced any issues with Gboard's settings.

Just flashed Pure Nexus ROM on my other phone. It comes with an older Gboard so I flashed a newer one.

But, that was during initial flash.

When I think about it I have had problems like you mentioned if I tried to flash Gboard later/after running a ROM with its AOSP keyboard. Some cruft or conflicting items left behind I think. Wiping dalvik and cache sometimes worked.

[Android General] AljenAraneta:
If I do wipe dalvik and cache, I'm not sure what will happen. Lol. Will everything to zero or anything like that? Sorry. ?
[Android General] marcdw:
Heh heh, everything will be fine. Wiping dalvik will cause the ROM to re-read/optimize/prepare the apps again. Like clearing out old info and doing a re-inventory of apps.

Does not touch any data. Just as wiping your browser's cache doesn't hurt or change it. Just cleans up things.

After wiping dalvik the ROM will take a little while to startup as it rereads/inventories your apps.

Is it possible to use the Aroma package as if it's a super package (i.e. running without GUI and supporting gapps-config file) or at least extracting the former?

I don't mind downloading a new super package but it would be great to save some bandwidth and time considering my slow download speed.

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Try copying the Open-GApps folder into the internal storage (should be /sdcard but check it via Install > Select Storage > Internal Storage just to make sure) before installing. There's a file manager in TWRP under Advanced section that allows you to do exactly that.
[Android General] marcdw:
Seems you all seem to be making things more difficult than they need to be.

When you run the AROMA installer it presents you with the option to save your choices. So next time it is run you can reload those choices.

A file, akin to a gapps-config, as well as others, are saved in a subdirectory of /sdcard.

You can take that file, edit to taste, and use it for a large package like full or stock.

The AROMA package is about as large as the others so I'm not sure what bandwidth savings there is.

[Android General] ngbeslhang:
The thing is I'm not the only one using the Internet connection with quite heavy usages and since it's only 4Mbps down at max it also will interfere with the other devices' speed quite easily.

Plus since the Aroma package technically already consists of super package I might as well try to extract it since the Aroma package kept autoquitting at the early stage of installing.

EDIT: Also, according to the GitHub wiki Aroma pack uses its own format for configuration, I tried to combine all four files into a single .gapps-config and it's not being recognized by the other packages at all.

[Android General] brainvision:
hey guys, don't know if I'll receive answer because it seems the thread is not so active lately, but I'll try..

Being the Aroma package near the 1 GB for AMR 7.1, do I need to have all this space in /system partition for use it or it will load directly from internal memory (/data/emulated/blablabla)?
[Android General] darrylhadfield:
I can tell you from experience, you can download the package, and you don't need (and almost certainly won't have) 1gb of space in your system partition.

The 1gb is just the package - you can load it into your external SD card.

What I need to figure out is how to resize the damn system partition so I can stop using the "nano" packages... hrmph.
[Android General] brainvision:
I don't know if it's a good idea.. I resized the space of my device (there's a thread here on XDA) enlarging the /data partition taking space from the Windows side (on a dual OS tablet) but I would never touch the system one, maybe only for testing on a device I really don't care about

I'm done messing with it for the day, but I think I could reflash TWRP after the OS install and then it all worked...

If I am not mistaken, I remember Open GApps failing to install if it detects an incompatible gapps installation.

Regardless, long as you do what needs to be done beforehand (BACKUP!) you can try to update.

Hi,

I'm struggling with the "Load choices" option.

I have 2 old Galaxy S5 minis and wanted to revive them for testing purposes.

I installed the Slim ROM (7.1.2) and "clicked" my way through all the Aroma options. I saved all my choices and Aroma created 4 prop files. These I copied to my ext. SD Card.

Then I started over from scratch (wiped, installed ROM again). But I can't convince Aroma to load my choices. I check the option directly after I choose "Customized installation". But I can't load anything. I goes straight to the options page where I have to decide if I want to exclude or include stuff.

I tried copying the 4 files to different places on the internal storage (sdcard, data) but to no avail.

What am I doing wrong?

Hello!

I would like to ask you for some help :)

Until now, I have been using MicroG for LineageOS (for mido). I like LineageOS, I do not like google, but I need push notifications for a specific android app - so I have been using MicroG.

Since the official support for my device have been dropped, I will now install unofficial Lineage + Open GAPPS.

Since I would really like a bare minimum of gapps, I firstly noticed PICO variant, but I see that also AROMA is an option.

Does AROMA give me possibility to install less than what PICO contains? What do I need to choose in AROMA to get just push notifications - that's all I need, I guess. (for installing I use Aurora Store).

I tried to install opengapps arm 7.1 aroma 20200408 personalizing it removing apps that requires android 9+ and some other things, like the pixel launcher and the pixel launcer icons, but when I try to set up the phone, after asking it to restore from google drive backup, the screen goes black with only wifi, 4g and battery icons on top right of the screen and it doesn't do anything or respond to touch buttons, I can only reboot or switch it off.
