heads up. the 10.0 20200129 nano gapps fail to boot on roms that enforce priv app perms whitelist.

pico is fine since the issue is with the googlequicksearchbox app, which is not in pico.

here's the fix https://gitlab.opengapps.org/opengapps/all/merge_requests/6

I am on Pixel 4 XL Android 10 with root and stock ROM. I would like to stay on stock ROM and keep getting/installing OTA updates.

How ever, I also want to remove/disable most of the stock app since I think of them as bloatware.

I followed of what is included in "gapps nano" and disabled anything from google that was on my Pixel 4 XL but not in the gapps nano package.

By disabling I mean: Force stop, uninstall any installed updates, disable auto-update, disable the app

Could it be that I am harming my system or increasing battery drain because I disable/remove some apps/functions that Android actually needs or knows that were previously installed and keeps looking for them?
[Android Software Development] Utini:
Hm so whats apps are save to remove/disable and which aren't?

I thought I would just try to shrink my list of apps down to what is included in "nano".

So that means I removed the following apps:

Android Accessibility Suite

Android Auto

Device Policy

Digital Wellbeing (can't freeze or stop somehow, disable inside the app)

Drive

Duo

Gmail (I use FairEmail)

Google Connectivity Service

Google News

Google One

Google Play Movies & TV

Google Play Services for AR

Google Podcasts

Google Support Services

Keep Notes

Live Transcribe

Photos

Pixel Live Wallpaper

Pixel Stand

Pixel Tips

Sound Amplifier

Pixel 4 XL Stock Bloatware

Sorry but the topic of this thread is Open GApps, not debloating stock OS.

Besides you already created a thread here in the Pixel 4 XL forum: Just rooted my P4 XL - What "bloat" to remove and what new stuff to install?

Rule of thumb: it's useless to uninstall stock & System apps because they are in the System partition and you can't use the space gained unless you hack the System partition size to reduce it & give it to the Data partition which is not recommended.

Besides they will probably be restored with the next update.

It's much safer & reversible to just disable them or use third-party apps to "freeze" them which is the same thing.

You can find a ton of relevant threads with this XDA site search & add keywords to taste: site:xdaforums.com/ which app are safe to disable.

Good luck!

***
[Android Software Development] Utini:
Oh I didn't know. I actually thought I saved ~1GB of storage by uninstalling all the updates of the apps I wanted to disable.

So if I cannot save any "real" storage then I might just force stop & disable them, as you described.
[Android Software Development] githyanki:
Yes, you can uninstall the updates. Your original post made it sound like you were trying to uninstall the app itself, not the updates.
[Android Software Development] curiousrom:
Re: Pixel 4 XL Stock Bloatware & Stock Apps Updates

But he posted this:

Yes the updates for the stock apps via Play Store are installed in the Data partition because the System partition is normally read-only and can be uninstalled but if he disables those apps then the next time he receives an OTA update new versions are installed in the System partition & the updates in Data are automatically deleted.

So it's a waste of time in his case.

It's the same if you install a custom ROM + Open GApps & update the ROM or flash an identical but newer Open GApps build.

***

If rooted there are a number of third-party apps that can disable (they call it freezing) System apps in Settings > Apps > 3-dots > Show system when the Disable button is greyed out like SD Maid which I use for lots of stuff but I use also App Freezer because you can add some apps to Favorite & when pressing on them you get infos like path, services, etc as seen in the screenshots.

I also use it for freezing some annoying hard to tame apps that I only use once in a while. You can also export your disabled apps & import the list after a clean install.

Be very careful & don't disable stuff without researching it otherwise brace for system freeze & boot loops. A recent full TWRP backup or via an other method is a good thing when tinkering with this.

If not rooted you can use the adb command method described in How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root using adb.

Just go to > Settings > Apps & notifications > 3-dots > Show System > app's name > Advanced > scroll all the way to the bottom to get the package name to be used in adb.

All those disable tweaks above will survive updates.

[Android Software Development] Utini:
Thanks for the detailed information, but I am still a little confused about two things. So please allow me to ask another question :D

1. Freezing apps:

Going into "settings -> apps -> show all apps -> 3 dots -> show system -> disabling any app" is the same as freezing an app with e.g. "TitaniumBackup Pro" or "App Freezer"?

SD Maid Pro (rooted) will only show me my manually installed apps, not the system apps. So basically I can only freeze apps that I installed later on.

For everything else I would need an app like App Freezer or TitaniumBackup.

Also, I understand that if I freeze an app, another app (or the system) cab't call/start the frozen app in case it is needed?

Freezing an app and applying an OTA update will keep the app frozen?

2. Uninstall updates of system apps and getting more storage:

So the system app itself is inside /system/ but only the very basic version of it.

Every update of a system app is stored inside /data/.

So basically, uninstalling every update of all my disabled system apps would give me some free usable storage in /data/

Is that correct?

Uninstalling updates but then applying an OTA update will only (if ever) update the system app but will not add anything to the /data/ location?

Or would I have to uninstall the updates manually again from my frozen apps after an OTA to relief the used space in /data/?
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
Please follow this post

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071/post81664559 and move on to a more related thread, for example your own post in the Pixel4XL forum.

As said the topic here is OpenGapps, not debloating stock ROMs.

Regarding SD Maid you can freeze system apps too, just go to settings->appcontrol->include system apps.

And just a general info: If you tamper the /system partition itself by freezing/uninstalling apps an OTA will fail, often it's enough to just mount /system rw .

If you do things like that do it systemless, for example with a module like Terminal Debloater.
[Android Software Development] Utini:
Sorry - I just thought that my best bet to find people with knowledge around this topic would be in this thread.

I made my own thread and I am thankfull for any help!

The google app (googlequicksearchbox) that was updated 2 days ago is bad. It's not signed so it fails to install.

W/PackageManager(878): Failed to scan /system/priv-app/Velvet: Package /system/priv-app/Velvet/Velvet.apk has no certificates at entry AndroidManifest.xml

https://gitlab.opengapps.org/openga...d.googlequicksearchbox/29/nodpi/301064765.apk

It's that way (unsigned) on apkmirror also, so they messed up since all of their apk's are supposed to be signed.

So the 'open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20200205.zip' and 'open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20200207.zip' and 'open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nano-20200208.zip' releases are affected by this.

EDIT: I submitted a fix and it was merged. https://gitlab.opengapps.org/opengapps/arm64/merge_requests/4

So the feb 10th builds are good.

EDIT #2: Correction! The apk is signed and is not the fault of apkmirror.com. Google started signing the apk differently which is causing the failure to install to /system

Just wait until the end of the day, [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] is aware of it and is going to delete the ones not working avoiding further confusion.

I don't think that the 31/1 nano build works. I just tried to flash it and during the setup wizard it rebooted back to recovery. Latest pico builds are also affected based on other posts. Not to discount what you suggested, but do you know why the 31/1 build was to be used?

If you downloaded that build 2020-02-11, you should delete it except for Pico which does not include the wellbeing app so it is not affected.

Hi all.

[MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION]

I apologize.

I did not mean to ignore your posts addressed to me or mentioning me.

I started to respond once or twice but, got sidetracked. Then life, computer issues (that turned into unexpected upgrades) and switching from mint to fedora..

No excuse to be rude though! I should have at least made a quick response.

Forgive me :)

Might not be the best way but, different devices and different roms.

First test(s):

Google Nexus 7 (2013) WiFi [flo] [arm Non-A/B 2SI SAR]

Pixel launcher works, including gestures.

The default Trebuchet launcher is broken.

Lineage 17.1 (UNOFFICIAL) OpenGapps (arm) Stock with gapps-config file.

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 [poco] [arm64 Non-A/B 2SI SAR]

Pixel launcher works, including gestures.

The default crDroid Home launcher is broken.

crDroid 10 (v6.3) OpenGapps (arm64) micro.

Google Nexus 5x [bullhead] [arm Non-A/B 2SI SAR]

Pixel launcher works, including gestures.

The default QuickStep launcher is broken.

Gzosp 10 OpenGapps (arm64) micro.

Google Pixel C [dragon] [arm64 Non-A/B 2SI SAR]

Pixel launcher works, including gestures.

The default Lawnchair launcher works also.

MoKee 10 OpenGapps (arm64) micro.

Re: Android 10 Test Builds 2020-02-16 Micro & Stock - Launcher

Thanks :good::cool: for the reports & logs.

As you can see in Open GApps Wiki - Package Comparison when the Pixel Launcher is installed, the stock launcher should be removed by default unless that's prevented with a gapps-config file as described in Open GApps Advanced Features and Options (+launcher).

That was pointed out by Pemimpin Bangsa T in the Telegram OpenGapps discussion group).

Could you test that if you can on your Lineage 17.1 (UNOFFICIAL) device?

No need to apologise as I mentioned you for your patch that enabled Open GApps installation logs creation in the internal sdcard: /data/media/0/ if one uses the Sideload installation method. No reply was expected.

[Android Software Development] jserafin9:
I still can't find that file. I can't find this other file ("open_gapps_debug_logs.tar.gz") either. I used the search function within the zip folder and there's no results.

However, here's for my device and software version:

Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016)

Android 8.1

(I don't know how to find the architecture)

Gapps version I downloaded: arm64, stock, android 8.1
[Android Software Development] Wolfcity:
In your case there aren't any logs because the gapps never got installed.

If you don't know which architecture your device has why did you choose arm64 gapps?

As far as I can see your device is arm so you downloaded the wrong gapps package.

https://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-A-2016_id9961

These are basic things to know before flashing anything to your device.
[Android Software Development] ipdev:
The stock launcher should work fine if Pixel launcher is not installed. (The Pixel overlay causes the problem.) - Just double checked on flo, using OpenGapps (stock) and a gapps-config file. Not installing Pixel launcher, the stock launcher is not affected and works as it should.

I do not remember that being true before, if so then the rom's stock launcher should be disabled and Pixel launcher should be set to default by the installer scripts.

Instead you have to pick a default launcher after SetupWizard.

I actually didn't think +Launcher did anything currently.

If so, it may have caused an issue with my initial install on Nexus 7 (Unofficial l17.1) since I used Stock with a gapps-config file that still had the +Launcher in it.

I made a little edit while I was rereading the wiki.

However that would not explain the others.

ROM and OpenGapps Micro only.

Note:

Tested again on my Nexus 7 with +Launcher commented out of the gapps-config file.

Same results, Pixel launcher works fine, rom stock launcher is broken.

I know it's due to the overlay for Pixel launcher, that was figured out awhile back fixing the nano builds. So, unless someone Smarter than I. so the vast majority of xda members. can figure out how to make the overlay compatible with every launcher, or activate it only if Pixel launcher is being used. Not sure if either is a possibility.

Attached the config file I used for reference.

Little outdated but, still works. I use the include option.

Not sure what you question/problem actually is from the screen shots.

If it's Google Assistant, I don't use it but, take a look here.

Advanced Features and Options enable-google-assistant - Link

Not sure if it's needed with your device/rom but, it may help.

Error 21 is not an OpenGapps error, it's a recovery error.

- Bad/corrupt file.

Verify file and/or re-download/copy file.

- File is not signed.

- File is signed by a key that your recovery does not recognizes.

Turn off zip/signature verification in your recovery.

Usually with Android 9, I use nano version which doesn't have the Pixel Launcher. For the Pixel Launcher I have separate zip flash file. I use QuickSwitch to change the default launcher.

I just recently switched one of my phone to Android 10. So apparently it is possible to use the Pixel Launcher 10 from the Pixel 4. I think every GApps version (pico, nano, stock) has the same and complete privapp-permissions-google.xml for all Google apps. So I don't need any permissions file. I just need the QuickSwitch to change the default launcher which basically create an overlay file? Please correct me if I am wrong?

Hi, will be getting dark mode for GApps for Pie or Q? Now most of Google's apps got dark mode enabled in them. Thanks for your help!
[Android Software Development] curiousrom:
Dark Mode & AOSP Apps

Dark Mode does not depend on Open GApps.

It depends on if your ROM has the proper Dark Mode flag & if the given apps support that feature then they will change theme automatically.

See this XDA portal article for detailed explanations: Android Q’s Dark Mode: How Google’s next Android OS will tackle blindingly light themes.

For example the LineageOS stock Calculator & Play Store (screenshot) when > Settings > Display > Style > Dark is selected in LineageOS 16.0, both Play Store & Calculator automatically change to dark style so they can read the dark style flag. And vice versa with LineageOS Style Light on my Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2020-02-11 + Open GApps Pico.

And more & more apps have a dark theme in their own settings which you can select manually if they can't see the Dark Mode flag.

Some AOSP based apps included in LineageOS 16.0 like the default Phone, Contact, Clock, Gallery & Messaging apps for example don't have a dark theme option @ the present.

As a workaround all the AOSP based apps by Simple Mobile Tools are free on F-Droid & that site includes screenshots of them with a dark theme.

I tested Simple Contact, Simple Calendar & Simple Gallery on my Galaxy S5 running LineageOS 16.0 with the dark theme & with black accent selected & they work fine but they do not change automatically.

They are also available in the Play Store but some of them are now paid there while still free on F-Droid.
