Can I suggest removing Google Now Launcher and Google News & Weather from the stock package? Google Now Launcher is discontinued but Pixel Launcher is already included as an alternative. Google News & Weather is also discontinued as it's been merged into Google News, which is a rebrand of Google Play Newsstand.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
I've already submitted a pull request for both of those, among plenty of other changes and fixes: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/pull/615

It is only a matter of if the changes are approved, or suggestions of improvements and such.

Or if you know how to build OpenGApps, I have a fork set up with the changes to cherry-pick from for now: https://github.com/SpasilliumNexus/opengapps/commits/testing-builds

I have been on an adventure to turn a cheap Chinese tv box into something cleaner with open-gapps-tvstock.

It is a Brinonac BN8, with an AMLOGIC s905w AArch64 based board, running TX3 mini firmware, Android 7.1.2 with root. I have removed all of the bloat manually.

I get an error 70, "Insufficient storage space available in system"

Log reveals:

Total System Size (KB)| Filesystem
Used System Space (KB)| 1k-blocks
Current Free Space (KB)| Used
Additional Space Required (KB)| 271164

I looked in the installer.sh, and this section grabs those variables:

# Read and save system partition size details
df=$(df -k $SYSTEM | tail -n 1);
case $df in
/dev/block/*) df=$(echo "$df" | awk '{ print substr($0, index($0,$2)) }');;
esac;
total_system_size_kb=$(echo "$df" | awk '{ print $1 }');
used_system_size_kb=$(echo "$df" | awk '{ print $2 }');
free_system_size_kb=$(echo "$df" | awk '{ print $3 }');
log "Total System Size (KB)" "$total_system_size_kb";
log "Used System Space (KB)" "$used_system_size_kb";
log "Current Free Space (KB)" "$free_system_size_kb";

except if we run df -k /system:

android:/ # df -k /system
Filesystem	1K-blocks	Used	Available	Use%	Mounted on
/dev/block/system	2031440	1012436	1002620	50%	/system

The script is reading the first line, and unfortunately I dont see that df ever added --no-header.

For now, I will be manually setting those variables and be going about my day. Hopefully this is something wonky on my end.

I had done a quick search for more information regarding the "Data Transfer Tool" and I'll just provide the following information that I had located as a shared FYI. :thumbup:

Data Transfer Tool

https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/data-transfer-tool-2/

- Separate (Universal) noarch releases for:

Android 6.0+ (Released 08-MAR-2018)

Android 7.0+ (Released 08-SEP-2017)

Android 8.0+ (Released 21-FEB-2018)

- Only 1 of each has been released so far.

- The Data Transfer Tool is to help make setting up our new device a great experience as well as a more updated experience for restoring device content.

- Package: com.google.android.gms

It looks like either a New Google Framework or an addon to the Google Framework. I can't state for certain.

I hope this was helpful! :)

So any idea if the OpenGapps app will get an update or should we just uninstall it if we have it installed and just use the website
[Android Software Development] marcdw:
I take it "we" actually means you.

That's something you would answer for yourself?

If the app is of no use to you, uninstall it (whether or not an update is planned), and of course you'll have no choice but to use the website.

In Installed 8.1 x64 OpenGapps Stock version which includes a dialer.

But the dialer seems to be missing the custom "call blocking" feature which lets you long-press a call in your history and select the option to block that caller.

Yes, I did find call blocking in settings and enabled it.

But I still don't get the option to block any callers in my call history?

I traditionally use a gapps-config file and super or stock without a problem.

I found something this afternoon that makes me wonder what the real difference is using Include or by default Exclude.

Every now and then I run across a comment about OpenGapps not installing. Surprising when it's pico.

Insufficient storage space available in

System partition. You may want to use a

smaller Open GApps package or consider

removing some apps using gapps-config.

I tried a few things this afternoon on my Nexus 10. Since pico fails on the unofficial RR build.

What I finally realized was, that if I used Include I had no problems installing OpenGapps.

Why does Include work and Exclude fail?

open_gapps-arm-8.1-pico-20180526

recovery.log - Failed install.

recovery2.log - Successful install.
[Android Software Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=7280276]ipdev[/MENTION], that is so weird. In both logs the space calculations seem identical, for 150 items each. Nothing to indicate, between beginning and end of calculations, why one fails.

Maybe consult the open gapps log that is generated in the same directory as the zip. It should include more details.

[MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] - Internal storage. I didn't think about that. :)

I normally install via adb sideload and only get OpenGAPPs log(s) when OpenGApps installs. When it fails I only got dmesg.log and recovery.log

I'll give it a try from internal storage to see if I can get an OppenGAPP log of the fail.

It worked. Actually it failed but, now I got the open_gapps_log from it. ;)

I installed Open Gapps Arm 7.1 Pico 20180516 zip package on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 running freshly flashed RR nougat rom and upon trying to install Facebook from store I encountered with this error message. However this problem didn't happen when I did the same with older version of the Gapps package months ago.

IS THAT EVEN RELEVANT TO GAPPS?

[Android Software Development] marcdw:
[MENTION=7280276]ipdev[/MENTION], wow, your /system space is quite small. About 140k available for gapps.

Anyway, notice the difference between the success and failure logs. In the first, only core (Play Services, framework, Play Store?) is to be installed.

In the other there's also the sync adaptors, tts, package installer, etc. Along with core they all won't fit in that space. Strange thing is, they're all part of pico so technically you shouldn't even have a successful installation. Almost as if you're getting a zero gapps (something smaller than pico).

My eye's have gone buggy rereading the wiki, faq, and looking through some of the issues on github.

After rereading, and a little more testing on a Nexus 7, it makes sense.

I thought pico was the default core but, I see now that it isn't.

I apologize for not digging deeper before I originally posted.

I feel like an idiot and try to keep user error out of threads. :o

Thank you [MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] for helping me through it. :good:

At least now we know there is a way to install OpenGapps smallest unpublished gapps package. ;)

I am a little curious to know what core actually includes? - I'm sure it's there somewhere on github but I must have missed it.

Probably Login, Sync, Services, Framework and Vending(aka PlayStore).

And to those who update the wiki. If you're reading.

I did some testing on a Nexus 7 with ua 8.1.

If you use open_gapps-arm-8.1-super

StockGApps keyword you can only install Stock options and below.

NanoGApps keyword you can only install Nano options and below.

PicoGApps keyword you can only install Pico options.

Example:

PicoGApps
Include
KeyboardGoogle

Installs Core. Does not install GBoard.

StockGApps
Include
KeyboardGoogle

Installs Core and GBoard.

Removals seem to work like normal.

[Android Software Development] Ibuprophen:
I've seen allot of questions regarding certain packages being unavailable for the Oreo Firmware...

I had asked the following question...

... within the Gitter and even created the following issue on their Github page.

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/issues/636

To be honest... I've found that Github issues are not monitored/responded to by any of their Developers. This is just what I've personally experienced/noticed myself but, a majority of the responses are either from another individual supporting the same issue topic and/or a (Very Good) member helping member.

I also had noticed that their periodic blogs they used to use had stopped without any new entries for over a year (since April 1st 2017).

They even seem to have closed their Google+ for new comments...

I'm just expressing what I am seeing as well as a personal opinion.

Thanks a bunch! :)

Hey [MENTION=4828250]Ibuprophen[/MENTION], I know you are not new here. Posting on XDA is how you get help from other knowledgeable users. I know you have been that helpful user in the past. I personally do not monitor gitter, but I did respond to your issue on Github within an hour, even before your above quoted post...

If you have been keeping up on this XDA thread, you would have seen that [MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION] has been away with personal issues for over a year, but he is making his way back now. If you would like to jump in a submit some PRs for open issues that have not been addressed, they are always welcome.

I personally only have enough bandwidth to keep fresh APKs uploaded at Github, (~12000 of them a year...). I check in periodically here, and address what I can on Github, but monitoring Facebook, Twitter, Gitter, Google+, and writing blog entries is more than I can handle.

Moral of the story: Post issues here. Wait a day for help. Check in and help others.

P.S. Today's builds have Stock/Super/Aroma included again after addressing the build issue. So, feel free to check back on your open issue and give feedback.

[Android Software Development] D@rekills4:
Okay, I have a Nexus 6P and a Moto G4, on which I flashed LineageOS 15.1 and have a GMail sync issue (it does not sync automatically).

After flashing the ROM and OpenGApps, the GMail app was working completely fine, syncing automatically. I even added 4 email accounts to my GMail app and all of them were syncing.

However, one week later, the GMail app stopped syncing automatically.

No matter what I did, I have to open the GMail app each time and sync the 'All Inboxes' tab to sync all my mail.

At first I thought it was a LineageOS specific bug but when I posted in the Nexus 6P forum, a few people there told me they have similar issues with other phones and other ROMs which are no where near based on LineageOS. And even other GApps packages (Eg. MindTheGApps).

So, I was wondering if there was anyone else facing this issue and if anyone has found a solution for it.

I would be interesting to see some logs to see if a gmail sync services is crashing...

Also, Gmail updated (opengapps/all@21fada) last night after builds started. Tonight's build will have the newer GMail v8.5.20.198487710.release (60397639)
[Android Software Development] D@rekills4:
Here's some more information I realised today,

The emails from the default Google Account I have added on the phone for using Play Store etc. sync completely fine (well they don't sync actually since they are push emails but they work).

But the other 4 email accounts I have added, they never sync unless I manually do it.

I don't think this is a GMail app issue, I have been facing this issue since the LineageOS February build I flashed. The app updated number of times in that period.

Though, I will give it a shot and flash the new build in a day or two and report back if the problem is persists.

You ask for log but what logs do I give you? If it's a certain event that was happening I could give you the logs but in this case it's something that isn't happening.

Do I logcat for 15 minutes as that's the minimum GMail sync time?
[Android Software Development] sk8223:
I've been trying to download Gapps since last week but the download keeps stopping on me. Never had that issue with https://opengapps.org before. I'm using Firefox, but the same issue pops up in Chrome and Microsoft Edge too. I've also tried using FreeDownloadManager, which manages to get me to 72% to 80% (~838 MB) but no further. Always goes to 0 bytes and the speed never picks up once it's reached that point. Trying to restart the download causes an "access denied" message in FreeDownloadManager and I have to start the download over again... until it inevitably gets stuck at 72% again.

Sometimes it gets stuck on 0 bytes even earlier. I even tried ADM and got another "access is denied" message. It got to nearly 1 gig with ADM. See screenshots.

My Internet connection is fine. No problems downloading huge ROMs and other files from various places.

I'm trying to download the ARM64 8.1 Aroma package. I've tried the Github links and older releases numerous times but it gets stuck no matter what.

EDIT: I resumed the download after the error, and though it kept going back to 0 bytes, the speed always picked up and the download eventually finished. Yay! This is on an a/b/g/n Redmi Note 4 on 5 Ghz. Similarly, my laptop is has an Intel a/b/g/n chipset and is connected to the same 5 Ghz network. But FDM doesn't seem to have the same resume capabilities as ADM.

I'm going to try downloading this file again over an Ethernet connection (connected directly to the modem). If that doesn't work some witchcraft is going on.
[Android Software Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
I have the same issue on my side, and it is not the Zen procedure to keep looking at download and mostly restarting the downloads from beginning. Very inconvenient.
[Android Software Development] Ahmad04:
+1

It's been happening to me for weeks now, it always fails at 90% complete and doesn't resume thereafter, I've already tried changing to other 5GHz networks, even my phone's network doesn't seem to workout.....:(
[Android Software Development] sk8223:
I don't know what's wrong with their servers (or Amazon's), but use ADM on Android like I did. Or try with a direct Ethernet connection to your modem. But I doubt it's our fault. It has to be the server. You need an application that lets you reconnect to the server immediately without issue. FreeDownloadManager on Windows 10 wouldn't do that for me, but ADM on Android did. IDK why. Just try it and eventually the 0 b/s will increase and the download will complete.

If you get an access denied message in ADM, just resume the download anyway, no matter how many times you get it. It will eventually resolve itself and the download speed will pick up.

Or maybe I just got real lucky. ?
[Android Software Development] jugoslavpetrovic:
Most of luck I was having with mozilla firefox on Android. ADM is losing and most of the time it shuts down itself. I don't know how to make it more consistent even with service enabled.
[Android Software Development] Ahmad04:
I've always used ADM for mobile downloads but this problem just doesn't go, I've also tried using UC BROWSER and other downloaders but no luck, maybe there are some issue with the connectivity of our region with those of Amazon servers cause I hardly remember the last time I had a resumable download of GApps....:confused:
[Android Software Development] sk8223:
Have you guys tried at all with a direct ethernet connection? I will at some point. If the download fails despite a direct ethernet connection to my modem, I'm blaming the servers.
[Android Software Development] Nerva:
I have a dumb question about installing GApps: On stock ROMs, you can't uninstall the apps that come with the ROM (only uninstall updates), and in the instructions for installing custom ROMs they say to flash the ROM and then flash my choice of GApps. My question is, can those individual GApps apps be uninstalled like normal Play Store apps, or are they "baked in" like with stock ROMs. Or put another way, if I choose an OpenGApps package, can I change my mind later about one or more of the apps included in it and just remove them?
[Android Software Development] runekock:
They become baked in.

You can still remove them at a later date by flashing a smaller gapps. However, in some cases (detailed on the web site), open gapps removes the rom's native functionality, and that functionality won't magically reappear by flashing a smaller gapps. In that case, you would have to dirty flash your rom, then gapps.
[Android Software Development] Nerva:
Looking at the GApps variants, I'm disappointed that there isn't a "milli" variant that includes all the integrated features that aren't available from the Play Store (similar to nano), plus every Google app that replaces an AOSP app, but no extra Google apps (since those can be downloaded from the Play Store later).

It looks like the Google replacements of AOSP apps are:

Android Messages (not installed on tablet devices) (replaces stock/AOSP SMS App)

Chrome Browser (replaces stock/AOSP Browser)

Gmail (replaces stock/AOSP Email)

Google Calculator (replaces stock/AOSP Calculator)

Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar)

Google Camera (replaces stock/AOSP Camera)

Google Contacts (replaces stock/AOSP Contacts)

Google Desk Clock (replaces stock/AOSP Desk Clock)

Google Dialer (replaces stock/AOSP Dialer)

Google Keyboard (replaces stock/AOSP Keyboard)

Google NFC Tags (replaces stock/AOSP NFC Tags)

Google Now Launcher (replaces stock/AOSP Launcher)

Google Package Installer (replaces stock/AOSP Package Installer)

Google Print Service Recommendation Service (replaces stock/AOSP Print Service Recommendation Service)

Google Storage Manager (replaces stock/AOSP Storage Manager)

Google Text-to-Speech (replaces stock/AOSP Pico TTS)

Google WebView (replaces stock/AOSP WebView)

Messenger (not installed on tablet devices) (replaces stock/AOSP SMS App)

Pixel Launcher (replaces stock/AOSP Launcher)

Google Photos (replaces stock/AOSP Gallery)

I'd also remove Google Search and Device Health Services (for Android 8.0+) from "milli", since they can be downloaded from the Play Store.

Apparently this normally could be done via the Aroma variant, but I have a Galaxy S5 with TWRP 3.2.1.0, and the info on Aroma says it will crash with that combination. Does anyone know if it is more of a problem with Aroma or a problem with TWRP?
