[Android Software Development] DevisG79:
Can someone please help me because I'm getting crazy with my girlfriends phone. I did so often a clean install and it always crashes. So I installed Lineage 17.1 without root because she doesn't need it and open gapps arm64 10.0 Pico. It boots and rom works good. But some apps force close.

- My guess is that it doesn't work because there is no root installed!?

- So, are there any gapps that work without root?

- If yes, do I have to do another clean install?

I would install Magisk, but there is the problem that banking apps won't work. Any help would be really appreciated.

Device setup:

Bq Aquaris X Pro

Bootloader unlocked

TWRP 3.4.0

LineageOS 17.1

Open gapps arm64 10.0 pico

I clean installed LOS and gapps in a row.

THX in advance and have a nice weekend.
[Android Software Development] manjaroid:
I'm not familiar with this phone but a quick search shows it has an ARM processor. Unless you have an ARM64 model, install Gapps for ARM, not ARM64.
[Android Software Development] DevisG79:
THX [MENTION=10002204]manjaroid[/MENTION]. Arm64 is the right one for this phone. Conclusion could only be I need root.
[Android Software Development] manjaroid:
My hasty search turned up "ARM Cortex A53" but digging deeper I see that its architecture is 64-bit. And apparently Lineage 17 for this phone is official which usually means the ROM is well tested and stable. I don't know why root would make any difference with Gapps but maybe you're onto something. I'm interested in knowing how it turns out.
[Android Software Development] Vinnom:
root isn't needed for gapps, any package. You could try to clean flash again los, boot and then reboot and install gapps. It isn't the official suggested way, but sometimes it works better than flashing them together.

this FC you're facing is probably related to some wrong permission I think. A logcat would help devs to take a better look into your issue

edit: btw, just for the sake of completeness and correcttiveness, when you say clean flash, what do you mean?
[Android Software Development] DevisG79:
I will try your way. Clean flash I mean:

Format Data and reboot recovery

Advanced wipe and wipe everything and reboot recovery

Install Los and opengapps arm64
[Android Software Development] Vinnom:
Ok, it isn't wrong but you don't need all of that reboots. Clean flash is essentially wiping data and system/vendor. Wipe data under twrp means to remove everything inside /data partition except the /data/media folder. I'm not sure if you said you wipe data (the so called factory reset slide button) or if you truly format data using the format data button. If it's the latter, it's not necessary to do it. Look, to clean flash, just go to advanced wipe and select data, system and vendor. That's all you need. No need to reboot to recovery. After that, go to install and flash what you want to flash.

Failed to Boot arm64-10.0 build 20200919

FWIW 2 official LineageOS 17.1 users reported failed to boot with arm64-10.0 build 20200919 here.

1 with Pico & 1 with Nano.

Both succeeded with an older build.

Lineage Team Member & device maintainer npjohnson1 posted in that thread:

"Use an older opengapps, looks like they messed up their privapp perms again." :rolleyes:

Hi guys,

I've an Huawei Medipad M5 Pro, which doesn't have a working twrp on EMUI 9.0/9.1. I've flashed Havoc-OS with android 10 and like to install opengapps pico, but without any working custom recovery I don't know how to do this. I'm literally going trough the whole wiki, FAQ, hundreds of pages in this and other threads on xda and never found a guide, how to sideload it. If anybody can help me, it would be really great.
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Thanks for the feedback, the builds have been pulled, permission fix has already been merged.

As for the testing group - it is almost ready; hope to get it up and running somewhere near the end of the next week (and commence Android 11 testing as well).
[Android Software Development] DevisG79:
I can confirm it works now with 20200602 build arm64 Pico. Device is set up and all apps are working well. Thanks to all who helped me. [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION] does it mean I can now update to a newer build or is there no need to?
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Most of the time there's absolutely no need to install a newer GApps package since all of its components are being updated through the Play Store.

So if it works correctly - yes, you can update, but there's no need to.
[Android Software Development] esgwpl:
Hey [MENTION=2010892]Nezorflame[/MENTION], I just want to let you know that the "OK Google model update" failure are also happening on Android 9.

To be clear, I'm running Lineage 16 and Open GApps micro (that I downgraded to nano using .gapps-config) dated 20200912.
[Android Software Development] curiousrom:
OK Google model update Fail

Did you try a more recent package like build 20200918 or 20200917?

Are you using ARM or ARM64?

Device model please?

Can you attach your gapps-config file to a reply or edit your post above & include it please?

Just curious: why flash Micro + gapps-config to downgrade to Nano instead of simply flashing a fresh Open GApps Nano package?

***
[Android Software Development] esgwpl:
Not yet, looking at the commit history the fix for this seems to only apply to Android 10 so I don't think this is fixed in newer builds.

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/commit/f25367115693fd964fd3422dad6204ec002a8a1c

ARM64

Zenfone Max Pro M1

It only had "NanoGApps" in it, per the instruction here.

https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options#downsizing

No particular reason, I already downloaded micro but changed my mind and I didn't want to use up data to redownload nano.
[Android Software Development] Zachary_Foxx:
The application is great, I have nothing to complain about and I thank everyone who works on it.

But one question: What led to the increase in the size of the mini package for ARM and android 7.1?

I had installed the mini in April of this year on my Mi Pad and I needed to format it today, I downloaded the mini version again but this time the system lacked space.

As a matter of fact, before the package varied between 400MB ~ 420MB but the latest versions are around 500MB.

What happened? Can I use an old version of the mini package without any problems?

Thank you all.
[Android Software Development] DevisG79:
If I update LOS 17.1 to latest official build from 26.09.2020 without flashing gapps afterwards in twrp recovery, will gapps survive? I mean do all apps work then?

Bq Aquaris X Pro

TWRP 3.4.0

LOS 17.1 current build: 17.1-20200919-NIGHTLY-bardockpro

Gapps: arm64 20200602 pico

I think device is not A/B partitions, but I'm not ?% sure.

If I have to flash gapps afterwards, I would flash the same build from 20200602 because the 20200918 version was buggy last time. I don't know if the current build the problems are solved.
[Android Software Development] manjaroid:
Normally it's not necessary to re-flash Gapps when a ROM is updated by dirty flash. I've done it that way many times with a different ROM and Gapps goes on its merry way. Re-flashing Gapps shouldn't hurt anything either as long as the build is recent enough not to downgrade. The only reason I can think of to re-flash Gapps over an existing install is to add/remove something using a gapps-config file.

Aarch64 Nougat 7.1 - error unpacking native libs

Trying to install 7.1 mini gapps into an android image. Everything starts up and runs ok, except googleplay doesn't show up. Grinding through logcat reports that Phonesky is missing native libs:

PackageManager: Failed to parse /system/priv-apps/Phonesky: Error unpacking native libs for app, errorCode=-113

Checking Phonesky.apk seems that it is really missing arm64v8 in the lib folder, only arm32, mips and x86/64 libs are present. Even Android SDK images from Google on x86 targets contains Phonesky arm64 libs (along with mips and x86/64 targets).

Anything missing here? Any way to put native arm64 libs in there or workaround this issue somehow? Tried multiple gapps versions from different dates without any differences.

Thanks!

EDIT: Not sure i'm in the right thread here ...
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Flashing arm64 build should work for you. Can you tell us the full name of the file that you flashed?
[Android Software Development] nkindt:
I am trying it with an Anbox image. The thing is that it works perfectly fine with x86/64 images. I.e. i have an x64 image without googlestore and installing gapps inside it works perfectly fine - after a boot i see google store and can sign in and download anything. The same procedure but on arm64 won't give me any googlestore to launch instead throwing the error message above (missing native libs - which is true).

That's the thing i am trying to understand. Is it supposed to have arm64 libs in Phonesky (as Android SDK images do) or is this an oversight somewhere? Why aren't there any native arm64 libs and only arm32 libs instead (on an arm64-mini gapps package)?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] LilBlinx:
I don't think this is fixed. Even after 1 month, there are issues with the velvet app. Crashing on boot, not showing in the app list even if it's in system/priv-app, not showing the weather info, not updating the voice match, OK google not working etc. I've been always quiet, but I don't think being quiet is good for the project especially where almost every new package has issues of its own.

Right now, I've built a ROM with in-built gapps and velvet app isn't even shown in the launcher and the latest opengapps package (Aroma) has an issue with GMS force closing on setup wizard.
[Android Software Development] guhvanoh:
You didn't answer the question that was asked of you. What is the full name of the file that you installed? Please answer that.
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
Hi. Well, it seems that the issue will reappear every time Google app aka Velvet is outdated in the package - it ships this "libcronet" lib which is required to be at some minimum version from the server-side. Nicholas should've been updating it but for some reason APKs for Velvet aren't arriving as fast as the other apps.

I suspect this comes from the Google Play Services vs Velvet version mismatch, but I can't confirm that yet.

So while the issue was fixed in that release you've mentioned, it reappeared again.

[MENTION=4867515]Nikhil[/MENTION] mentioned that he repacks the Velvet APK with the newer version of that lib, but since OpenGApps ships untouched APKs, that'd be an issue for us.

I'll keep researching this, but for now the only fix is to update the Velvet aka Google app manually.

arm64-7.1-mini from two days ago (tried older releases as well).
[Android Software Development] LilBlinx:
Sorry if I being understood as harsh in my previous post, I was just pointing out things while being furious at the same time. :D

I believe the same is happening with his Gapps, GMS is force closing whenever it comes to the part where "OK Google" needs to be verified, exactly the same as the latest OpenGapps release. When I am building on my local machine or in a custom ROM, the Velvet app is in priv-app folder, but it isn't shown anywhere in the launcher or in the list of apps i.e. passes the Setup Wizard, which I find it very strange. I have the option to install it, but not to update it from Play Store. My bad that I don't have some logs laying around but as you mentioned the libcronet lib might be the issue here.
[Android Software Development] Nezorflame:
No problem, I can understand it. I get pretty furious as well when stuff which worked for ages suddenly breaks because Google :)

Does your local machine script do zipaligning? We had to exclude some of the APKs which contain only v3 signature from zipaligning since that breaks the signature, and those APKs don't contain v1 sig inside anymore. This in turn makes Android ignore that APK despite being in the proper system path.

Hello,

I have a xiaomi projector which could not go to fastboot/bootloader mode and has no root access. Possibly bootloader is locked and I also could not install TWRP recovery.

Is it possible to install google play store through other means? my default xiaomi recovery projector has no option to install update.

Is it possible to use adb install method?

Yes, it supports zipaligning but still Google (Velvet) isn't shown as being installed despite being present in system.

EDIT: Issue from GitHub as a reference https://github.com/opengapps/aosp_build/issues/275
[Android Software Development] JohnHorus:
I'm getting this same issue, and it's pretty frustrating. I'm not very experienced when it comes to android/linux, but I know that for years when installing custom ROMs I can throw apk's into system/app or system/priv-app (though I've learned it's generally pointless and can cause issues) and it will essentially become a pre-installed app.

When trying to set up an old device recently after breaking my phone, I ran into the issues with google(velvet) not working correctly when installed from OpenGapps (voice detection not working and infinitely trying to re-download voice data) and when trying to sideload the apk as described above, it worked correctly once, but has had a different set of issues since then.

First-time setup configures voice correctly(unlike when I don't sideload it), but it doesn't show up in the app drawer. It will show up in play store as needing an update, but even when I update, it's still missing from the app drawer. It can be opened from within play store, and seems to work correctly, but I can't get it to show up in the drawer. I tried sideloading Swiftkey and Solid Explorer in TWRP during initial setup, and those both show up in the drawer fine and work as system apps, yet Velvet does not.

[Android Software Development] zzz2002:
i do not know if this has been brought up before, but something and I think its the Contacts app seems to be screwing up my addresses. I do not use google contacts. I use a third party provider for my calendar and contacts storage. As far as I can tell the problem is not with them.

The contacts app is inconsistent in that address which are similar will show completely differently,

An example: 1111 Homeroad drive, city, region, postal code, country will be show up as -

1111 homeroad drive, city, postal cone, region, country

OR

111 Homeroad drive, region, city, postal code, country

OR

1111 Homeroad drive, city, region, country postal code

If I scan the com.android.provider.contacts cantacts2.db the address information seems to be formatted correctly.

?1 is this a know problem, is there a solution.

?2 is there a "recommended" alternative to the opengapps contact app.

TIA
[Android Software Development] manjaroid:
It's not unusual for importing and exporting contacts between different apps to mess up formatting. Some of it you'll just have to adjust to and find workarounds. Other formatting problems can be corrected by enabling all available fields. CardDAV standards should be helping more than hurting when syncing between different apps, devices and platforms.

Actually, if you use Contacts from Gapps and it's associated with a Google account, you do use Google Contacts. If you suspect a problem with it, try clearing the app's storage and cache while the phone is offline and when you're back online see if your Google account restores them in a less messed up way. If Google Contacts formats correctly and doesn't appear to be the problem it's probably your other sync method.

The Open Gapps Contacts app is Google Contacts, same as you'd get from Play Store. There are open source alternatives like Open Contacts and Simple Contacts from F-droid. Both have ways for avoiding the Android contacts database. Simple Contacts uses the Android contacts database but has an option for separating Android contacts from ones you prefer to not sync with Google. Open Contacts is more radical and uses its own database for everything.
[Android Software Development] zzz2002:
The Google account associated with my phone is only used for the Playstore.

When I say i don't use Google Contacts , I mean I do not use them, the contact and calendar sync adapters are frozen (I have tried uninstalling them, but they reappear if Google updates), and all data associated with them deleted. I even delete the reference to my Google account that shows up Contacts DB.

The only things I use from Google are Maps, Earth and Translate, plus the play store. and much as I would like to be totally free of Google in these three areas Google doesn't have much competition.

I tried Simple Contacts it had similar problems to the standard contacts. Open Contacts did not work for me, Business addresses where either missing or totally messed up.

Thanks for the input.
[Android Software Development] manjaroid:
Sorry about my misinterpretation. I struggled a lot with contacts at one time and tried those two alternatives but they weren't for me either. Ultimately I surrendered to Google Contacts. Occasionally something is duplicated or ends up in the wrong field, but formatting is otherwise ok.

Small update on my current situation.

I'm still busy af at my current work so it's hard to find any free time at all, not even mentioning the opensource stuff. So I apologise to you guys for my inactivity, this will probably continue to be so till the end of the year.

Still I'll try to keep an eye on this thread and Github and see if I can help with any issues.

The test group is slowly being worked on: the bot for the Telegram is almost ready, so I expect to launch it as soon as I have some time for the builds transition. I'll share more details on how this will work later.

For now here's a small thing for you all to play - a test build for the ARM64 Android R:
