Why would the gapps-config not find any applications I've specified for removal? All I get is a message that nothing was 3 removed.

My gapps config file contains

Include

...List of apps I want installed each on their own line.

And finally a bunch of apps I want uninstalled, each on its own line and enclosed in parentheses.

Log message says the following:

NOTE: All User Application Removals included in gapps-config were unable to be removed as requested because the files were not found on your device. See the log portion below for the name(s) of the application(s).

I tried 6.0 pico Gapps and 6.0 Stock Gapps and when I am setting up my phone for the first time with google account it does not offer me the option to restore app, settings, wifi passwords, etc from previous Android phone as before. Is that normal in Marshmallow?
[Android Software Development] TonySuperPony:
Of you are using cm than the cm setup wizard overrides the google setup wizard. Resulting in the not prompting for restoring apps...

That means if I remove CMSetupWizard through gapps-config.txt I should be able to restore my data from Google account?
[Android Software Development] TonySuperPony:
You should remove it from the cm update package.

Is there a universal dpi Gapps for generic devices?? My device, galaxy note 10.1 (GT-N8000) does not fall in any of the “platform“ categories. Tried the arm version, nano but wouldn't flash.

The choice of the correct gapps depends on the processor! But I have no clue which ones to install on crappy exynos...
[Android Software Development] yochananmarqos:
I just tested open_gapps-arm-6.0-aroma-20151114 with a clean flash of chroma_mako-2015-11-11. I did not select Google Webview as Chroma already has it included. During the setup wizard, Play Services crashed after choosing not to restore from another device. Restoring from another device worked fine.

The logcat I ran shows that the Play Services crash was due to not being able to find Webview at all. Apparently Open GApps removed Chroma's Google Webview version since I did not select it to install. Why did it leave me without a working webview? It should have left Chroma's built-in Google Webview alone since Android Webview was not present.

I clean flashed again using the same selections in the Aroma installer but this time chose Google Webview. Choosing not to restore worked fine this time.

Can you include separate addons for Google and Android System WebView beta versions? If not, I'll just replace the APKs after flashing this. Thank you!
[Android Software Development] plmosqueda:
hi....

Question: this gapps replace stock ones?? i mean, if i install the package conataining hangouts this one will replace stock sms, or gmail replace stock email app??? Google pic - stock gallery ...etc, etc
[Android Software Development] MastahF:
You are confusing the Universal Uninstaller feature with the regular removal keywords. Don't use the () around the keywords.

Most devices are ARM. For the original question: please post such question in Q&A, not in the main development thread.

Hi, the problem is that your ROM dev choose to include a GApp pre-emptively. That is something that is non-standard (we know Google doesn't like it).

Since our script is 'responsible' for all GApps, it is programmed to remove all GApps that are unselected, so that they can be removed, and it cannot distinguish between whether it was installed by itself or the ROM. I did think about this problem last night though, and came up with the following idea: we could check if for any Stock-replacing GApp, the stock-app is available; and if the stock-apps is not there, to not remove the corresponding GApp. It will take some time to implement this though, you can track the issue at: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/issues/166

Nope, sorry. That won't be possible because our repo structure is designed to only hold a single latest version, we can't have a stable next to a beta.

Instead of replacing the APK I would suggest to you to 'proper' build your own package variant with the updated APKs on your local system. You can check the GitHub README for instructions how to do this.

Is there any way to exclude google dialer and keep stock dialer when flashing stock package? please help
[Android Software Development] Spring80's:
Hi guys! I want to install pico gapps in CM (need google play only). What's about spying from Google (like in stock gapps) in this gapps?
[Android Software Development] NZgeek:
This should have been asked on the Q&A thread, not the development thread...

Anyway, have a look at the advanced features link in the OP. You can exclude specific apps from being installed by using a .gapps-config file, and if the Google version is not installed, the stock version is left in place.
[Android Software Development] Nikki1993:
It is not installed anyway with Gapps as it was removed from it. Stock Google Dialer doesn't work properly on many ROMs. or rather it is not "seen" by ROMs. Besides, as mentioned before, read the FAQ. People used their time to create it to avoid repetitive and common questions.
[Android Software Development] ZeNiXxX:
no update for arm64? :)
[Android Software Development] MastahF:
Actually, there is an update. But GitHub is not so smart to show the update, if there were no new commits to the arm64 repo itself since the last update, and then shows the lower (=older) version tag as latest:

https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/releases

I did write to their support about this. It would be more logical, in the case of tags referring to the same commit, to default to the higest version instead of the lowest.

[Android Software Development] MastahF:
It appears to be caused by that we only have the newest Google Play Services for Android <5.0 and not yet for 5.0+

The build script is programmed to always use the latest version available, even if it would mean that a version that is meant for a lower Android version is used.

This is almost always appropiate, for e.g. Hangouts, that did already twice receive an update that became compatible with lower Android versions.

But for Google Play Services this apparently can cause trouble. So I removed today's arm release (other architectures were not hit by this complication) and I will update the script to handle the Google Play Services situation differently.

UPDATE: I wrote the patch that should fix the issue, so with tomorrow's build (Nov 20) this issue should never appear again: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/commit/a8f8f9acf6eb24115e9321f07c7f9a73dc3c5126

[Android Software Development] slogar25:
^ this and also there is a specific Q & A thread for these GApps
[Android Software Development] androcraze:
Both or either.

1. The AOSP ROM needs hardcoding to work with swipe. It's generally an "either-or": if it's not coded-in, you'll never get it to work, but if it's coded-in, you'll always need the proper proprietary library to function.

3. There were issues with some ROMs that were properly "fixed"; I think the fix was to use the keyboard library with a "no later than" date or version.

If you have 240, and only 320&480 available, it should install the 320 one.

Do you have the debug log (tar-file) of the installation available for us? And preferably also a logcat of the FC you received.

I think the Play Services for 22 November build is faulty as well.

With the 22 November build I get Play Newsstand FC after boot.

Also I get a Play Services FC when I try to add a Google account in Settings->Accounts.

Also the optimizing for Play Services is abnormally long during the first boot after flash.

Had to reboot as it took too long stuck at that part.

Tested on Grouper with OctOs ROM.

Everything worked with the OctOs GApps based on the 7 November Open GApps build (but their pack removed the keyboard).

You'll have to use a smaller package with your ROM because the system partition doesn't have the required space. Don't mistake your total storage space with system or data partition space.

[MENTION=6404745]MastahF[/MENTION], the latest nightly include the Google Play services only for 240 and 320 dpi. Probably this is causing the force closure.

It are the only versions of the newest GMS that we have available.

Even though the version is than not DPI optizimed, it should not give any FCs. Those that do experience FCs, please upload installation debug log and a logcat of the FC. Only then I can investigate and help.

hey i have a problem. and i don't know if it is occurring because of the cm12.1 messageing app or gmail account.

when i am going to write a message after pressing the + button in messageing app and type in a name that i want to message to for example i type alexander and it sees my contact called alexander and i press the contact and then in the bar where receivers are located it only shows (alexa) instaead of alexander. and even before i tapped on the name it didn't show the number it only said mobile. it is only doing like that for some contacts and if i go in contacts app and add the number again and the same name and i want to message someone else then the number for other contacts get messed up. like if it changed the number for other contacts to other contacts like they were in a row to be changed. it is not like this on cm11s only cm12.1 :/ any suggestions ? i flashed the opengapps arm/5.1/pico
[Android Software Development] MastahF:
I pushed a lot of new code to the repo just now, which should include swypelibs and faceunlock libs for all Android versions.

So tomorrow's build will be exciting, but can also be more tricky and buggy. I do hope that the 5.0 and 6.0 users will enjoy this new compatibility! And already sorry and excuses if I introduced any new bugs, but we can only find them by testing them in the wild :)

UPDATE: Yes, there was a bug. So I'll let the buildbot rebuild today's (24 Nov packages) now.

[Android Software Development] MastahF:
I have some experimental nano builds with swypelibs by default enabled again: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=41538

Difference is that in these builds, for 5.0 and higher the AOSP keyboardlibs are not removed, the Google libs are installed next to it.

For KitKat the AOSP libs still have to be replaced by Google's.

I would really like to ask those who have some flash experience to try these builds and to report back to me. Don't forget to wipe /system/ and reflashing your ROM before flashing these experimental builds.

If they work good for all Android versions (I will especially need feedback for 4.4. too) this will be mainlined ASAP.

Misleading as open source

I appreciate what this group is doing. But I"m afraid that the first-post/this-thread may be interpreted as mischaracterizing the project as an open source project due to things like:

1. Using the "Open Source Initiative" registered trademark logo very prominently in all the banners, webpages, etc. That is probably trademark infringement, and even if not it is still extremely misleading.

2. Tagging the XDA threads with the tag open source.

3. Naming it "open"-something (a known naming convention for open source projects, not completely damning by itself but very misleading together with #1 and #2)

So I would suggest to the developers/maintainers to fix those issues as it causes confusion and harm to the community.
[Android Software Development] elandroido:
Nitpicker!
[Android Software Development] MastahF:
First of all: this project is not about the installable gapps packages, but about the toolset to create GApps packages. Installable GApps binaries were always already around, so then we would just be another Xth doing the same thing. The goals was to create something new: a toolset to craft your flashable Android packages. Currently used for GApps, but re-applicable to e.g. also package other sets of apps. The code of this project could also be used to create packages of possible gapps-replacements.

Of course the binaries are in popular demand with most of the public, so that is why we supply those instead of requiring that everyone compiles their own, but they are not the focus of the project. You could compare it with the Linux kernel drivers, many of those do need non-libre firmware to run on your hardware, but that doesn't make the those drivers a non-open source effort.

1. We comply with the licenses that are required to use a OSI-derived logo in any open source project's logo: http://opensource.org/licenses

All code written for the project is GPLv3 licensed. The code from PA GApps was released to the public domain (on terms described by TK for continuation of packages). So no infringement or misleading.

2. As stated above. The project itself is open source, as such the tag was and is a useful keyword.

3. As stated above, the project is open source, it allows you to build your own flashable Android packages. Which APKs you want to use as input for the package build is up to you. For most people the focus is on Google's apps, since no good replacements are available (yet) for their Android services.

I don't think there is any confusion, let alone that this project brings any harm to the community.
[Android Software Development] Faustop:
Again, I appreciate what this project is trying to do, and I think it is a nice addition to the android workflow, but it is still misleading. There are two different things being discussed here, both of which are being called "open gapps":

(a). A set of open source tools used to properly pack the google apps.

(b). A closed source installable gapps package created with the help of the above tools

You argue that all references to open source are valid because the first post (and consequently the thread) is about (a), while in fact almost all the first post have are links to download "open gapps" which are in fact (b). And let me be clear, this is not about distributing source code vs distributing binaries, if the many download links pointed to different binary versions of (a) it would be completely OK, but instead all links to "open gapps" are links to (b) which has nothing to do with open source. Also, I'm not saying that you can't add link to (b) (after all that is what most users want), but instead that they simply should't be refereed to as "open gapps".

So I recommend changing the wording on the first post so only the tools (a) are called "open gapps", and to not call the installable gapps packages (b) by that same name. After all you can't call (b) by the name "open gapps" and still claim that "open gapps" is open source.
[Android Software Development] MastahF:
I understand your point. There is indeed a difference between A and B. My goal and the goal of the project is A, but demand by people flashing their first custom rom is for B. The OP is mainly there to guide the new users, because they would be otherwise flooding the thread even more with "how do I...." (e.g. those download links where initially not there and only added to stop the posts about it...), and I sincerly do hope that people using B brings them at some point to more skilled in Android development and makes them gain interest in A and help to contribute and develop for it. Just like happened to me and our fellow developers in the past. But naming A and B different in this case would imho only create confusion, instead of reducing it. Also the chance of bringing people from B to A would then be smaller and in that way hurting the "open" goals of the project.

The usage of "open" for the project as a whole is imho an important and essential distinction, compared to the closed-source (or less/non-existent) tools that are used by other devs, because the goal of the project is to open up that part of the chain.

I do think you have to accept that the "Open" refers to our toolchain and not as adjective to "Apps", and that is the "G" to Apps unfortunately means that non-open source parts are included.

Maybe one day we will have Open GNUApps ;)
[Android Software Development] DanHutchins:
Don't understand. When I first came here to get my gapps I was not confused nor did I feel mislead. Everything is how it is stated and as was already stated, the terms of use are not being broken.
[Android Software Development] lucasdeeiroz:
No one here think that Google Apps are open source, and the OP is very clarifying on that. No misleading here. And who really care about 'open source' can see the codes (the link is in OP too) and see what is and what is not open source. Doesn't take too much to understand that.
