[OnePlus 2 Android Development] magnamentis:
to be honest and bold, does not matter what stands there, it is exactly how i said and if something else is in first post it's an error, i'll check an come back with a request to the dev it that's true what you say, it would definitely be wrong and you'll find appropriate info all over xda. only exception is if the backup script is not included in the rom zip which at times is the case on first few versions which would explain first post and after he could have forgotten to alter the post and/or he copy pasted from another thread/OP and overlooked that.

again, whatever stands there it's the way i said, believe it or not, up to you but it also would explain the strange problems some people have and the majority does not encounter. weird issues are exactly the outcome of flashing gapps over playstore auto-updated gapps.

last but not least, if you have auto-update disabled, this does not apply to base gapps, they're updated in the background always automatically only observing the network settings if applied (wifi or mobile data, yes or no, if anythiing )

this applies especially to: play services, playstore etc.

EDIT: considering that update as compared to installation could indeed be understood to simply update from one nightly/weekly to the next you're right, it's written there but still not correct, i explained above that it could be a residue from either another first post in form of either copy/paste/overlooked or first few builds without backup script.

[MENTION=7681940]Subham[/MENTION] is (the official) maintainer for a few weeks now and i'm sure he copy pasted and/or took the first post from somewhere, i.e. as standard OP from other RR threads or tools.

[MENTION=7681940]Subham[/MENTION], i kindly ask you to check this matter thorougly and eventually get rid of that part bacause as you can see it adds to confusion and keeps people from updating properly, i think it's also in your very interest that there are a minimum of unneccessary issues for a rom that works great but does misbehave for reasons like the one we're talking about here. thanks

EDIT2: problems only occur once the gapps you're flashing via recovery (baseics like playservices etc:) were updated between gapps release and installation. in case of cameras and contacts etc. it can happen that a rom comes with a different app version than the one which is part of the gapps while libraries often have the same name (often not bus still sometimes ) this would mean that one ends up with incompatible

shared libraries and/or incompatible app data which is exactly the kind of issue we often see here and only few people face them. i swear, could even make a poll, that 95% of all users do NOT flash gapps each time on a dirty flash and if you check, you'll see that experienced users with thousands of posts and many year's memberships rarely post such issues. it's mostly noobs who follow (in this case) instructions and/or lack the experience where to search for the culprits and/or how to troubleshoot.

i'm not blaming anyone since/if it's in the OP like that and I neither blame the maintainer because such a minor/hidden little line in instructions can easily be overseen and or not give the necessary attention.

but now that it's in the open i think it should be verified and eventually corrected.
