When I reboot my phone, the message "You need to update GooglePlay services to use Photo(or Message,Dialer and so on)" will appear in the notification bar and "com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" appear on the screen.Then I update the Google Play services and everything works fine.

But this would not happen every time when I reboot my phone.Everything works fine when I update GooglePlay services and the first time I reboot my phone.But if I reboot again the problem will appear again.

When I Flash the opengapps package there is no error but only a notice that my rom has a stock gapps already.Same ROM worked fine with the package released in July.

opengapps Package: open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20180918.zip

ROM: MOTO X 2014 Offical ROM

TWRP:twrp-3.2.3-0-victara.img/twrp-3.0.2-2-victara.img
[Android Software Development] githyanki:
Is there a reason your flashing gapps on a stock ROM? Generally not supposed to do that.
[Android Software Development] ColorfulNight:
1. I think flashing gapps on a stock ROM instead of updating them in Google Play.

2. I want to use the Google camera and I could not find it in Google Play.

Thats all.:(But if this problem appear again I will not flash gapps the next time I flash my phone.
[Android Software Development] ynamojn:
Has the problem "face unlock is not installed" for phone with vendor partition been resolved? Anybody has update on this issue?
[Android Software Development] githyanki:
Google camera doesn't show up sometimes if Google doesn't think your phone is compatible. Get it from apkmirror.

Once it is installed, it will update through the Play store as normal.
[Android Software Development] ColorfulNight:
Oh,glad to heard that.Solved the problem in a certain sense
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
People once again report the face unlock missing.

Happens on all the latest packages, doesn't occur on the older ones (one from 23.09 is reported to work OK).

Got different reports, both for 8.1 arm64 variant. Works on 9.0 though.

Devices and logs:

1) Redmi Note 3, micro

2) OnePlus 5, nano (happened on micro as well)

Logs attached in the same order.

I personally still suspect this is a ROM or /vendor issue, but might be something else.
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
Also on Redmi Note 5, Lineage OS 15.1, super with .gapps-config. Voice Match is also missing. Face Lock related files seem to be installed properly, though.
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
I don't think it's the ROM, LOS almost has no vendor changes since weeks.
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
Just downgraded to 20180923. Now works.

removal of /system/lib/libchrome.so breaks bluetooth

Hi,

I wanted to report an issue on github, but it directed me to this thread for issues related to the package functionality.

The issue is here:

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/blob/master/scripts/inc.installer.sh#L2060

where the removal of libchrome.so happens.

This breaks bluetooth so I suggest that step to be omitted. Installing the latest opengapps effective broke bluetooth and when I copied the file back from a backup it worked again.

Also mentioned it here:

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-10/orig...anch-built-khaon-t3302610/page14#post77763359

Please give this some priority, it seems rather destructive :).

Also, thanks a lot for putting the time in this great initiative.

Google Play services is force closing in newer GApps..

Version from 2018-September-4 is working fine..

Logs that will be created after flash are attached below..
[Android Software Development] DarkMi100:
I did the same today on OnePlus One (bacon) with latest version of LOS15.1 but unfortunately I cannot confirm that open_gapps-arm-8.1-super-20180923 worked for me. It's still open_gapps-arm-8.1-super-20180910 as last version where VoiceMatch and Face Unlock is working for me
[Android Software Development] KUPOinyourWINDOW:
I have a bug to report but I didn't realise you needed the log and I always delete mine after flashing, I'm sorry :(

In YouTube in OpenGapps Stock 9.0 for ARM64, if you have picture in picture enabled (so that you can "minimise a video and do other things with a small movable preview) and you rotate your phone to make the video go fullscreen (with the YouTube app open), the statusbar at the top of the screen doesn't hide and is always visible. I've tested on multiple PIE roms and it's not rom specific. Hopefully this can help even without the log, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to reproduce it.

Maybe Open GApps should start including overlays?

Here are some things that can be done by this:

Be able to completely remove the AOSP Pie launcher and use the latest Pie Pixel Launcher as the Recents activity

Make Markup and Google Wallpapers the default screenshot editor and wallpaper picker

Add support for Google Dialer emergency calls without the need of the AOSP Dialer being installed (I just made an overlay and removed the AOSP Dialer, it seems to work for me).

Most overlays are already in the Pixel Experience repo for you to look at.

Here are some samples (for Markup and Pixel Launcher Quickstep):.

Have you tried to remove aosp quickstep and replace pixel launcher with overview recents?
[Android Software Development] VincentJoshuaET:
Yes. It crashes without that overlay, just like what is previously said here.
[Android Software Development] Ashutosh:
So how do I do that. Delete launcher3quickstep. Install pixel overlay reboot and done?

When you are planning to open GApps for your android try to Download Bluestacks first. It will enable your android applications and it will become easy to run.

Which is the last micro/nano version to have working face unlock/ trusted face?
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
To all of you Pie users with ARM devices, I want this build tested for Trusted Face functionality: [REMOVED]

If no one reports back, I will stop messing around with trying to fix it.

Edit: see this post https://xdaforums.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071/post77894229

[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:

[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Update to this Trusted Face issue:

Right before I built myself a new build of OpenGApps, I noticed Trusted Face and Voice Match missing from my Smart Lock settings, which prompted me to see what was going on in OpenGApps' source.

After I flashed a new build, the options were still missing. A few minutes later after rebooting from flashing the new build, the Play Store updated Google Play Services to 14.5.66 beta.

I then remembered how Google Play Services had Trusted Places removed for a few days, and brought many in an uproar because it was useful, but was unreliable for a while. An update to Google Play Services brought it back with fixed reliability.

Remembering that made me check Smart Lock again, and sure enough, Trusted Face and Voice Match came back.

So yeah, update Play Services to 14.5.66 beta or newer, and see if they're there again. In the meantime, I'll upload the version I got to APKMirror, which is for ARM64 devices on Oreo.

EDIT: Since XDA is yet again being a pain in the ass with images, here's huge screenshots...
[Android Software Development] suvam69:
The latest is 14.3.67 beta
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Not for me. I'm currently looking at Google Play services 14.5.66 (090400-216610821) on my phone.

You'll have to either wait for Google to roll it out to you or APKMirror to have the variant you need.
[Android Software Development] suvam69:
And so where did you get it from?

Edit : oh yeah became a tester. It's a 19 mb update.

Edit 2: hard luck. 14.5.66 -040408 version. My device is on Oreo 8.1 and it's an arm64 device. Is this okay?
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Not sure why you have a Marshmallow variant on Oreo.

Anyway, APKMirror has some of them up now. Marshmallow, Oreo, and Pie variants for arm64 as of this post.

Hi dear GAPPS team

I downloaded arm nano gapps for Oreo

Google play service does not open and was just 5MB!

And it writes that Google play service have been stopped.

I fix it with new version of google play service but plz fix this bug at your zip file!

Thanks to all
[Android Software Development] pjy2017:
Hi, I recently encountered a voice that was not able to use Google's face to unlock by installing Gapps (micro) on oreo (it is installed properly), and it seems that many people have encountered this problem. I want to know if this is a problem with Gapps. Thank you.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Read the last few posts. It's a Google problem, not OpenGApps.
[Android Software Development] pjy2017:
Is there any solution? Or the latest version of the Gapps have not this question? Thank you
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
You have to ask this these guys of Google....
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
See my comment here: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/issues/675

EDIT: So far, Google Maps and Google Home have switched to this type of installation with the split_config (aka App Bundle) APKs.
[Android Software Development] runekock:
With this gapps, recording my face works perfectly fine. However, whether the actual unlocking works, I don't know. Nothing seems to happen, but I'm unsure of how it's supposed to work.

Last time I really tested face unlock was many android versions ago, and at that time, there wasn't anything called Smart Lock - face lock was just another unlock method. At that time, I found that I tend to hold my phone too close to my face, so getting the position right is more work than typing a pin. So I'm only really interested in face lock for the satisfaction of getting all features working.

When I wrote:

I only actually tested that recording my face worked. Sorry for the misleading report.

I tried installing Play Services 14.5.66 beta, but didn't notice any difference.
[Android Software Development] ConnerJSP:
Can confirm: voice match and face unlock weren't showing up in smart lock, then after installing Play Services 14.5.66 beta, they showed up. However, like you, I haven't actually tested to see if it works, just that it shows up.

Another issue that seems to be resolved is dark mode not working in Android Messages; not sure if it was beta Play Services or recent Messages update, but both seem to solve some of these problems.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
For the Messages app and dark mode not working properly, I've found out the issue. OpenGApps is installing the wrong versions on Oreo and newer.

For example, on this page of Messages APKs, at the bottom of the list of APK variants, you see 3 for Android Oreo+ (Android 8.0+).

All 3 of these are meant only for 213-240 DPI devices on Oreo. I'm guessing the devices are Android One.

Since these are meant for Android Oreo and newer, the OpenGApps installer assumes these are the only latest for Oreo+ devices and installs them, but the installer doesn't know that they are actually wrong.

What the installer should be installing is one of the variants for Android Lollipop+ (Android 5.0+), which all have various DPIs for various devices.

Having the right Android version APK, on top of the correct DPI variant install is what makes dark mode work.

TL;DR OpenGApps is installing the wrong version of Messages APKs, which breaks dark/light mode. The wrong versions are assumed to be meant for low DPI Android One devices on Oreo+, which will need to be removed from being added to these packages.

I'll let the maintainers know about this issue in the morning.
[Android Software Development] dt0807:
Yes! I mentioned this here back in early September and got no response (probably because I didn't fully understand what was going on). It was just driving me crazy as it was affecting almost every build. This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for explaining
[Android Software Development] Ekterm:
I am trying to remove only the Google Search and Gboard apps, usually I just go to /system/app or priv-app in twrp and delete the folder, but I cant find it.

WHERE ARE THESE APPS?
[Android Software Development] runekock:
Please, can someone with a working face unlock explain how the unlock part is supposed to work. Or maybe refer me to an existing description or video. I've only found descriptions of the setup part, not the unlock part.

If somebody helps me here, I can continue my tests.

(I seem to remember years ago that a camera image would show like during setup. Is that still the case? If not, how am I supposed to know when I have positioned the phone correctly?)
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
If I'm guessing correctly, some of these ROMs have this gimmicky feature where it extends the Trusted Face capability of making the phone "swipe" the lock screen away after Trusted Face recognizes you, very similar to Apple's, Samsung's, and OnePlus' implementation, only less secure as a photo could easily bypass it.

People are calling it "Face Unlock" because of OnePlus having it in their stock ROM and calling it that, in which users of OnePlus phones and ROM kangs spreaded that name, now refer to it as such.

Here's a video OnePlus put together of YouTubers using it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=YKYk4dTUcqk
[Android Software Development] beowulfof:
I would like to know where I can send an error-report, concering open-gapps problems. I do weekly updates for my lineageos for my oneplus 5 (cheeseburger) and out of bad experiences I update opengapps as well on every update. Since some weeks I have the problem that android auto does state that "google play services seem not to work", despite all other google apps running nicely. I can switch back to open_gapps_arm64-8.1-stock-20180917.zip that was the last package where android auto works flawlessly. Every opengapps package thereafter leads to the error mentioned. What was changed after that? Will it be fixed?
[Android Software Development] ccav2000:
I faced that issue. The problem is wrong version of the Google Play services. I overcame it by activating beta participation in Google play for the play services, then the play store installed the correct version (but beta) for my device. It fixed Trusted face and Android Auto the same time.

Dark mode not working on Android Messages. I try to activate but it stays white in all LOS 15.1 Oreo based ROM I've tested and also in LOS 16 but it was working well on LOS 14.1 Nougat. I'm using Aroma installer.

Installing from Playstore instead of gapps was the only way to enable the dark mode on Android Messages.

[Android Software Development] Iye Vice:
I had RR 5.8.5 Nougat installed, upgraded to RR 6.2.0 Oreo via dirty flash. Somehow Trusted Face option remained. I wiped & erased everything in TWRP & reinstalled Oreo ROM from scratch, set it up as fresh device. Trusted face disappeared! I installed updated (if not the latest) Google Play Services (14.5.70, to be exact), rebooted - NO Trusted Face!! I deleted GP Services via Titanium, rebooted, installed YOUR recommended version (14.5.66), rebooted - Trusted Face & Voice Match are ON!!! Thanks a lot for your observation. BTW, WTF is wrong with Google with higher GP Services version NOT containing TF & VM & lower version having them from beginning? Maybe it's s rhetorical question, in the end...

Happy upcoming Halloween to you & all your friends!;)
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Not sure what's going on with it, but I recommend disabling auto updates for for Play Services if it disappears once more on newer versions, until a non-beta version of it has it fixed.

Then again, it's Play Services, so any future updates to another Google app may require it to be updated beyond 14.5.66.

Since I'm moving to a Pie ROM after this post, which always has Trusted Face working (from user reports), I won't be able to troubleshoot it personally if it happens again on Oreo.
[Android Software Development] Iye Vice:
I've tried Lineage 16.0 Unofficial & there TF & VM are working 'from the box'. But gonna switch to Pie only if Xposed would (hopefully) be developed for it. Thanks for your reply!
[Android Software Development] runekock:
Thanks for the description and the video.

Using your test gapps, face unlock does indeed work. It's difficult to get the phone to recognize my face, but in principle it works just like in the video.

Edit: tested on Pie 32 bit Arm with play services 14.5.66.

Gapps installs into /system partition. How much storage space you have is irrelevant. When you install gapps it generates a log in the same directory as the zip file. Take a look through it to get details on the space issue.

Plus, you don't say what gapps package you used. If it's one of the larger ones just go down to something smaller.

[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
Currently revamping OpenGApps to be up to date to somewhat match what's default on Pixel devices. That area has been long overdue for an update.

One example, no more installing Google Now Launcher on Nougat, Oreo, or Pie devices, unless you use Super and choose to.

Should be done in a few days, if everything builds successfully during test runs. Folks are definitely going to have to check the wiki again to get up to date if it all goes through. For example, keywords to the installer such as "newsstand" will be changed to "googlenews", and Android Auto has been added as a default app in stock builds since it's included in the Pixel 3.

This may be my last contribution for a few months, as I'm starting an additional job soon, and won't have much time for a while.
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Not sure you should change established keywords. Google renamed them, GApps users can figure it out.
[Android Software Development] SpasilliumNexus:
I was just thinking that too and planned on reverting them ?
[Android Software Development] osm0sis:
Awesome! Probably at most just the wiki could use an update to cover both names of the apps. :)

From another thread:

I've done some more testing, and all points to two different issues, both play services and a crash on 32 bit pie.

Here are the details:

Your face fix plus 14.5.66: works.

Your face fix with 14.3.67: trusted face setup works, I didn't manage an actual unlock, but then I find it difficult even when it works.

Today's gapps nano with 14.3.67: trusted face setup crashes.

Today's gapps nano plus 14.5.66: trusted face setup crashes.

All testing done on a 32 bit Nexus 6 with Nitrogen pie rom.

Hope this clears up the situation.
