OK, this may be partially my bad :o and by partially I mean more than 50%;)

People on the official ROM thread for Havoc-OS for the above device(s), were posting how a older/previous GApps was providing a working Media Picker for the alarm, ringtone etc etc, while the latest GApps was not. So, I thought it was a GApps thing, so I suggested posting logs here. That was my mistake.

I have built this ROM from source, and looked into the sound picker issue, and it is using a pre-built sound picker.; that the dev has pointed out as a known issue ie I would *guess* that the older GApps package replaced the faulty one (for our 32b device only), while the newer GApps leaves the pre-built one in lalce, ready to cause issues. Sorry. But admittedly, I haven't tested this to the end by flashing the older GApps and checking the results.
[Android Software Development] gvamp:
This sound picker app confuses a lot of people. I'm totally unsure about your assumptions for these reasons:

- in my logcat the sound picker app is named - not the pre-built one. And it's the app >after< installing the gapps.

- the app also crashes with the newest version from the play store - no pre-build components involved here (I hope)

- the app starts correctly - no problem about 32 or 64 bit at least until a sound category is choosen and it crashes

- the error message in the log is about opengl / vertex shader - no direct 32/64 bit problem here (I think)

- a bunch of other roms and mobiles, than you have mentioned, are involved

Hope somebody could clear that up. At least we have workarounds. :)

I got problem in here Google Photos always force close whenever I open the app this problem also exist on every custom rom I think this is gapps issues

My phone is Redmi Note 3 Pro

I'm using aroma arm64 pie
[Android Software Development] marcdw:
You should search the thread first. Others seem to have hit similar issues with Photos.

LG G3 D851, Clean ROM v3.2, NanoDroid (microG), MultiROM, XDA Legacy
[Android Software Development] ADB100:
Google Photos 4.18x or 4.19x won't run from /system/app for some reason. My workaround is to remove the 'photos-arm.tar.lz' file from the GApps folder in the .zip and replace it with one taken from an older OpenGApps package (photos v4.13x) and then just flash the .zip as normal.
[Android Software Development] WORF84:

ARM - Pie, any package is missing 480 and noDPI Google Play Services for several releases.

One screenshot shows the full package as it usually is and the other shows how it is now, has been for a few days now.
[Android Software Development] mkdante381:
Yes. Newer OpenGapps leave also pre-built Device Health Services. I have forced 480DPi in OpenGapps config. Google Play Services is installed, but why Google Play will install the same version?
[Android Software Development] Nerva:
Background: I'm currently planning on installing Resurrection Remix, which is derived from LineageOS, which of course is an evolution of CyanogenMod.

In gapps-config.txt, are the entries that start with "CM" the old names for what are now LineageOS equivalents (i.e. is CMMusic the old name for the Music app that comes with LOS)? Or put another way, if I disable installation of any of those CM apps, am I actually not installing the modern-named LOS versions if I'm installing LOS?

Is StorageManagerGoogle just the old name for what is now listed on Play Store as Files By Google -- i.e. if I install it, I'm actually installing Files By Google? And is CMFileManager the old name for what is now Files in LOS?

Is there a reason to install TagStock vs. TagGoogle? I don't seem to see any sort of Google NFC tag app on the Play Store, so I'm assuming it only comes with Google phones? If so, will it update properly if I install it on my non-Google phone?

Same question regarding CameraGoogle vs. CameraStock. Should I just not install either one and go with the LOS camera (although that doesn't seem to be listed in gapps-config)?

I think I know what CloudPrint is (there's a Google Cloud Print on the Play Store), but what is PrintServiceGoogle? And can I install it afterwards from the Play Store, or does it have to be preinstalled, or is it completely irrelevant for me and I should skip it altogether?

What does GCS (Google Connectivity Services) do? It is installed with Super+, and it isn't on the Play Store. If I install it on a non-Google phone like the Galaxy S5, will it work? Would I even want to pre-install it? Same questions for Action Services and Better Together -- they're in Super+ but not the Play Store. I'm unclear as to what happens if I try to pre-install them and if there's any benefit to doing so.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
I obviously wasn't clear. Play is not installing a working version, but the newer version which does not work on my phone/rom.. It's not really an issue for me personally, as I have worked around it by reverting to the AOSP sound/media picker. I did notice if I did not, the sound picker would crash, and the rest is from post like (last line of three) https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79765772&postcount=134

Hi! I have this x96 Max Tv box with a custom firmware (Android Pie).

Although the CPU is 64 Bit, the rom runs under 32bit mode.

While flashing ATV gapps, The installer quits with error different architecture. I was using ARM TV gapps for Android 9

Hello! Just flashed Nano GApps on my Moto Z Play running LineageOS 15.1. Does it really not support the "Okay/Hey Google" hotword detection while the display is off?
[Android Software Development] abhifx:
Since my operating system is 32bit, I dont think flashing 64bit package will help (maybe mess up more)

further, i dont want to flash pico or nano as i want to have full Google TV experience which only has one package.

My concern is how it is determine that the architect is wrong? Is it from fstab or others? I would like to remove that assert.
[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
I swear I did a thread search, a couple, but I could not find it.:crying: It seems like something that would of been asked many times, so I apologse.:o

I build a clean flash ROMs, which mean I am often faced with entering all the gapps set up info on boot. IS there a file I could create to provide the entry values instead of having to repeatedly enter the sane info again and again? Such as WiFi & password, do not restore from another device, google user and password, do not back up app data & or send usage stats etc etc etc.
[Android Software Development] Nerva:
Anyone?

I'd really appreciate someone answering this. TIA!
[Android Software Development] zzz2002:
I can only go with my experience, I have an s7 edge, I set my opengapps config to remove/ignore all the CM stuff.

See my gapps config attached.

The only thing that I have a problem with is removing google contact sync.

YMMV, good luck
[Android Software Development] Nexus5-32GB:
I have done research but still did find final answer to my question.

Why Google Assistant doesnt work from lock screen anymore?

I have tried so many stock and custom roms, so many gapps packages but am unable to use this feature as before.

So for example am driving my car and say Hey Google, google assistant will start to listen but then say "

For that you need to unlock your phone

"

I have heard that Google has enabled this limitation from his side recently which makes Google Assistant completely useless!!!

Anybody here experience same issue?
[Android Software Development] djdelarosa25:
What happened? Last update was on July 12.
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
That's only 4 days. :rolleyes:

APK uploads went on vacation, but they will be back soon and that will trigger new builds.
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Oh no - the world will end. How often do you really need to reinstall GApps anyway?
[Android Software Development] djdelarosa25:
I was geniunely asking what happened, no need for sarcastic answers, geez.

For a service that updates daily, it going offline for 4 days was just a bit odd for me. Is there any channel that I should follow to get news about the Open GApps team or something?

Thank you.
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Breaks of several days have been quite common in the past, and i stand by my comments. The whole point of gapps is that they update themselves, so an automated build is designed to satisfy those who are clean flashing and haven't kept a copy, or those who must flash every day. I assume you are not the latter, and therefore I credit you with having patience and the understanding that it really doesn't make any difference to the average user whether they are updated every day or every month.

Please delete the offensive language in your post, and PM me if you wish to continue this particular discussion.

Edit

It's all academic anyway since a new build is available.

[Android Software Development] Likesoft:
I'm using my device in Korean, 31 July version still has the same problem.

I've tried 30, 31 July aroma version but some apps in them are only shown in English even if I set the system language in Korean.

I've found the apps like Maps, Chrome, YouTube are only shown in English.

Is this another bug, or the bug is not fixed yet?

When do you expect this problem will be fixed?
[Android Software Development] githyanki:
The best fix is to use nano package and install those apps from the play store.
[Android Software Development] Likesoft:
If the device's storage is big enough, that'll be the best. But mine is only 16GB and as you know /data partition is much smaller than that(mine is only about 9GB).

So, It is very precious for me that the space which is saved from moving GAPPS' apk from /system to /data.

If I can install GAPPS' apk in /system partition, I can save about 1GB of /data partition space. That's why I'm looking forward to being fixed.

[Android Software Development] githyanki:
The error your getting is:

INSTALLATION FAILURE: This GApps package can only be installed on a 9.0.x ROM.

Need to ask in your rom thread about what's going on.
[Android Software Development] ADB100:
That's the 1st time I have ever heard that advice? Yes, you can let the Play Store update the apps for you, however the new versions will be installed to the /data partition. Flashing a newer OpenGApps package will update the apps in the /system partition so will be retained should you wipe (factory reset) the phone.

I don't believe your advice is correct.

I have noticed that the Google Photos app has been updated a few times in the OpenGApps package for ARM & ARM64 - the latest being 4.22, however since 4.13 none of these have worked when installed in /system/app. What is the reason to keep including the app if it doesn't work?

[Android Software Development] ipdev:
Just a reminder.

Google controls updates from their side. (It's part of the agreement.)

Even if you skip though the SetupWizard and do not log into a Google account, Google will check and update (core) as soon as you are connected to WiFI or Mobile Data.

Other Google apps, will update via WiFI or with your permission use Mobile Data.

When you log into your Google account, the check and update will happen again.

Yes, accounts vary. My personal account is normally about a week behind my standard testing account(s). My main testing account is signed up for beta(s) so obviously it updates as soon as I log in. (Unless I want to build a beta Gapps package.)

Device, rom or settings related?

It seems the default version of Photos packaged with stock roms differ per device.

I mounted a few current factory Pie system images to check.

How about that, 3a XL and 7 Pro are using Q named builds.

Play Store, Settings, Don't auto-update apps....

Google Photo's - any version after 4.13 does not work when it is installed in /system/app/ with my devices (Samsung S6 running Lineage 15.1 built yesterday, HTC One M8 Lineage 15.1).

If I replace the photos apk in the OpenGApps .zip with a 4.13 version (ARMx64 for S6 and ARM for M8) it works. If I manually update Photos via the play store (remember I have disabled auto-updates...) then a later version works, however this is because it gets installed to /data/app.
[Android Software Development] marcdw:
Really? That advice has been given for ages. You flash gapps once and update via the Play Store. Normal. Common. Recommended.

Now, if one's ROM supports backups via addon.d then you have a point, sort of. Technically it doesn't matter as the latest versions of Google apps will still be present as long as you don't wipe data.

The need to constantly flash gapps might be reasonable on old devices with limited storage space. At the same time usually such devices have small /system partitions anyway.

Modern devices, ofc, have large /system partitions and googobs of storage (64 to 128GB). Today, the only reason to constantly flash gapps is if you just don't _want_ said apps in your /data. IOW, a personal preference.

[Android Software Development] ADB100:
Can you point me to that recommendation please? Never seen it?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
No recommendation needed, it's kind of standard behaviour. I never heard that one have to flash gapps over and over again, is there a recommendation to do so?

There we're times when no daily gapps packages were available, I stored a package which was known working and used it every time I flashed a new ROM and let it update via playstore.

But anyway, as [MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] wrote it's a personal preference.
[Android Software Development] ADB100:
I think it might be standard behaviour in your world....
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
Actually it's standard behaviour in the Android world.

As has been stated many times, you only need to flash Gapps if you are flashing a new ROM. Any apps not in your chosen package can be installed from the store, and they will all be updated automatically (including the ones in your Gapps package).

It's not a hard concept to grasp, but you'll save yourself a lot of grief if you do.
[Android Software Development] Zev Ronso:
Thanks a lot! Is the automatic update working, by the way? My Google Play Services is stuck to an old version, too.
[Android Software Development] ADB100:
Really? So why bother creating nightly GApps packages? Seems a pointless waste of storage? If the logic is to only flash OpenGApps with a new ROM then surely a monthly package would suffice? AND this would be clearly stated on the OpenGApps website as well as in the 1st post on this thread?

I think you are trying to push your own process on other people and pass it off as 'the standard'. It isn't. Not everyone's device has oodles of storage available in the /data partition.

Flashing OpenGApps stops your RW /data partition being filled up when there is space in the RO /system partition. Why would you want an old version of an app wasting space in the /system partition when you install a newer version of the app that has to go into the /data partition? :silly:

By all means tell yourself your process is correct. Just don't push it on other people.
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
GApps builds are automatic. They exist for people who want to flash them. They are not required on an existing ROM. But if you want to flash GApps every day, fill your boots. Now that's (to me) silly. Each to their own.

End of discussion for me.
[Android Software Development] ADB100:
I don't flash OpenGApps everyday. Maybe once a week? I have several applications installed in the /data partition already so wasting more space when I don't have to (i.e. by letting the Play Store automatically update Google apps that are installed in the /system partition) is silly :silly:

My point was that you stated:

When in fact that is your own advice.

It isn't written anywhere.

It is what YOU want people to believe.

If people with older devices and smaller /data partitions listen and take it as read then they will likely run out of storage.

There are other options. Which was my point. :cowboy:

Hey guys... got a weird problem and I'm not sure if it's Google or GApps to blame. I just installed a clean version of LineageOS on my Galaxy Note 4 with the latest GApps and when I try to restore my settings from Google I'm asked to fill in my screen lock pattern on a 3x3 grid but my previous lock pattern was based on a 5x5 grid so obviously, I can't unlock the backup. Any idea of what to do here? Is it a GApps thingy or a Google bug?
[Android Software Development] :
Here we are, this should solve your problem: https://www.google.com/amp/s/xdafor...king/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008/amp/
[Android Software Development] dpcdpc11:
Thanks for the quick reply but I'm not sure how this would allow me to bypass the pattern lock when restoring the google backup. Because this has nothing to do with the current security lock on the phone.

After doing a bit of research on this, I understand the problem. Google by default gives you a 3x3 grid for the pattern lock and this is what it expects. Changing the size of the grid is a "hack" added by LineageOS, but the question remains: why does Google allow a different grid size other than 3x3 to encrypt the backup data of the phone when there's no way of unlocking it when you want to restore it?

This is just messed and I guess my only option is to install everything manually. Boy, this will be a fun night!

If you can provide a logcat of the crash, it would help point to the actually problem.

[Android Software Development] ADB100:
The problem appears to be where the Photos app is installed. OpenGApps installs it to /system/app/. If you move it to /system/priv-app/ (I think?) or obviously if its in /data/app/ then it works. If you search through this thread there are various references to this.
