[Magisk] NamitNayan:
The issue happens only during initial setup

If you do it then none of the issue faced
[Magisk] Jaitsu:
So let me get this straight - it's probably been asked, but I glanced through the rest of the thread and never found it mentioned directly. When I update my ROM, I usually wipe /system, then flash the new ROM, Magisk, and GApps, and Magisk just works with the modules I already installed without the need to reflash them. Does this mean I could just install this, then skip the GApps reinstall step entirely (since Magisk will handle it)?
[Magisk] NamitNayan:
Most probably

Why don't you try and confirm!
[Magisk] razr96:
Removals of stock apps in gapps-config.txt doesn't work. Limiting of gapps works though.
[Magisk] VR25:
This is what I do -- backup magisk.img, factory reset, install ROM, install magisk, restore magisk.img. ALL mods work without the need to reinstall.

It doesn't work because of the "systemless rule". This module doesn't touch the system partition, remember? Right...

You can however disable those apps by using Magisk's "replace" feature. Since I've never used a gapps-config file, just to speed things up -- could you upload a sample so that I can enable that feature for gapps-config.txt?
[Magisk] razr96:
Thought that might be the case, here's my gapps-config.txt.
[Magisk] Jaitsu:
Definitely glad to hear that, but I don't think I can use this quite yet - that permissions bug is hitting me hard, I think, and that .perms file doesn't appear at all. Not even under ls -la in a root terminal, so I have nothing to remove, and that Google Play Services crash keeps on happening once a minute or so.
[Magisk] NamitNayan:
For it happened only before signing in to Google account

I too didn't had any perms file

Btw go to app info and grant all permission to Google play services
[Magisk] razr96:
Is it possible you could add the magic_gapps.zip location as one of the directories open_gapps.zip can be placed? It would be nice to keep them both in the same folder.
[Magisk] VR25:
Nice suggestion! Next version will include that.
[Magisk] demonoidmaster:
Most roms usually flash the whole thing over the previous version, meaning /system itself gets replaced by the new one from the rom
[Magisk] VR25:
# 2017.11.7-Beta (201711070)

- Additional SearchDIR: Magic GApps zip location

- disable_list.txt (similar to gapps-config.txt) -- read Magic_GApps*.zip/common/disable_list.txt for usage instructions.

- Fixed sysconfig patcher "no backup" error.

- gp command -- to grant/regrant full permissions to core GApps on demand (i.e., after resetting apps preferences).

- MagicGApps config folder migrated to /data/media to persist across factory resets.

- [TEST] service.sh will now try to grant permissions 3 times (3 boots) -- each process kicks in right after boot and takes ~2.5 minutes. That means, you have to wait for that time before setting up your ROM for the 1st time. If after waiting, Google Play Services still crashes, reboot and wait again.
[Magisk] razr96:
Thank you so much for this update, it fixed play services crashing for me and disable_list.txt works very well. But I tried placing open_gapps in the same folder as magic_gapps, it didn't work as it couldn't find the zip. Also the installer ends with an error 1 every time for some reason.

A suggestion: if the installer is run again with the same/older version of gapps, proceed up to the disable_list feature. Currently it stops before that, so you need to run touch /data/_r to use that feature in such cases..
[Magisk] VR25:
# v2017.11.7-1-Beta (201711071)

- disable_list.txt can be used anytime without the need to reinstall GApps.

- Fixed "error 1" upon installation -- setting permissions.

- Search location "Magic_GApps*zip directory" -- OK

;)
[Magisk] razr96:
Yep, all those issues are fixed. Thanks!
[Magisk] VR25:
# 2017.11.8 (201711080)

- cp new mod config_dir to /data/media instead of /data

- General cleanup

- Next upgrade stage begins (Aroma variant compatibility & more -- WIP)
[Magisk] Jaitsu:
Still having crashes with the latest versions, I'm afraid.

For what it's worth, the stack trace:

Upon doing a little research on the issue, I'm seeing mentions of "issue #155" in Magisk's bug tracker (see also: this post referencing a crash with the exact same trace). Problem being, the bug tracker has been closed, meaning we're SOL on getting any info about that, unless [MENTION=4187311]Setialpha[/MENTION] can give us some idea of what was going on there. Notably, my browsers do NOT crash, so it's probably not the WebView bug also mentioned. (Sorry to bug you, but help us, Seti Wan Kenobi, you're our only hope)

(And by the way, I have tried this without Xposed - same thing, same trace sans Xposed of course.)
[Magisk] VR25:
Nice! Thanks for pointing that out.

About the webview issue... that might be the actual culprit even though your browsers don't crash. Using chrome instead might be the answer. Anyway, I'll dive deeper into all this. :)
[Magisk] naboleo:
Error 1 with 2017.11.9
[Magisk] VR25:
That's because the "full" variant is not yet supported.

Could you please make a copy of that Open Gapps zip, remove everything from it except the scripts (i.e., update-binary & installer.sh) and upload it here?

Thanks for the logs, BTW!
[Magisk] naboleo:
Here you are
[Magisk] Simone98RC:
Is Magisk 14.5 (1456) properly supported by Magic Gapps?

Thanks in advance.

I'm planning to upgrade asap.
[Magisk] VR25:
It's template independent, so -- answer is yes. The same applies to future Magisk versions.

Edit: [MENTION=5318895]Simone98RC[/MENTION], I just saw that the default Magisk paths have changed in 14.5. This means the module might not install/work properly. If ends up being the case, then you have to wait for a compatible MagicGApps release. Keep in mind, though -- I don't support Magisk beta builds at all.
[Magisk] Shished:
MagicGapps works with 1456, I got no GMS crashes. but SN checks fails. Not sure what causes that.
[Magisk] VR25:
No GMS crashes? Interesting...

See if removing /magisk/MagicGApps/system/xbin folder, then rebooting helps with SN situation (you won't need that folder at this point).
[Magisk] Shished:
Latest MagicGapps modules are just installers for opengapps zip files. To update you need to download new opengapps zip and install magicgapps module.

---------- Post added at 08:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:20 PM ----------

SN fail seems to be not related to magicgapps. I uninstalled magicgapps, installed it into /system, and enabled magisk core mode, SN still fails after reboot.

But yeah, magicgapps is fully working.
[Magisk] naboleo:
[MENTION=5228676]VR25[/MENTION]. Did you look at the "full" Gapps file ? I'm pretty sure there was no problem with previous module build (last from october) but didn't keep any trace and don't have older module version anymore.
[Magisk] VR25:
So, are you saying previous versions worked with the "Full" variant? Never tried that myself -- reason why I said it's not supported.

Anyway, I've been studying a wider set of OpenGapps install scripts and working on a new MagicGApps build for a while now. The module should have better compatibility. Also, it'll display a progress bar and extra relevant information.
[Magisk] naboleo:
[MENTION=5228676]VR25[/MENTION] If you could share a previous builds, i would be happy to confirm compatibiltity was working... Great news about the progress bar also. Anyway will report with the newer build asap it's available. Thanks
[Magisk] NamitNayan:
Latest opengapps after oreo one launched are more buggy .I think so
[Magisk] vhick:
Is smart unlock already solve? Mine still not showing up.
[Magisk] nicegamer7:
About the Error 1 on the full package, I also get this with the stock package. But I did not get this with the October 15th build. I've attatched it in case you want to try.
[Magisk] naboleo:
[MENTION=5820055]nicegamer7[/MENTION] : confirmed : with oct 15th package everything goes perfect. Using nov. 9th one i got error 1 too (same rom, full wipe, same gapps archive)
[Magisk] doodzilla:
Question: how to uninstall this? In case of nuclear destruction.
[Magisk] nicegamer7:
"* Before Actions

- Running `touch /data/_r` tells the installer to reinstall OpenGApps.

- `touch /data/_u` -- uninstall.`

- disable_list.txt (similar to gapps-config.txt) -- read Magic_GApps*.zip/common/disable_list.txt for usage instructions." - The OP

I hope you read the OP, not to be mean but it was there. :)
[Magisk] ibuddler:
I think he's referring to uninstall Magic GApps not OpenGApps.
[Magisk] nicegamer7:
I got that from the original post of this thread, I'm pretty sure that is for uninstalling Magic GApps.
[Magisk] ibuddler:
I flashed it with open gapps. Then uninstall it from Magisk Manager. I flash it again, but gapps won't install although it says success and it's enabled in Magisk Manager. The Magisk.img is only 19MB. Any idea?
[Magisk] naboleo:
Another way is to delete the module directory from /magisk/ .... It does apply for all of them.

Double check the Gapps Archive is ok with your device : location, build and platform....
[Magisk] ibuddler:
Well, I'm not able to install it after the uninstall. It says success but nothing has installed.
[Magisk] VR25:
Everybody facing issues, try the suggested October 15th build from a few posts back (dated December 10th).

A new version is in the works.

MagicGApps requires more testing and its scripts are fairly complex to write & debug due to their lack of modularity. On paper, the whole module is a set of distinct components; in reality, it's more like a huge, individual block. On top of that, I've been a little busy with general life matters.

My other modules get updated much faster. Since they're more modular (feature rich), I can work on small chunks at a time and push minor updates more frequently.

Even though some stuff requires brain twisting logical thinking to get right (i.e., fbind, Magic Charging Switch) -- still, I can get over that faster.

Keep your seatbelts fastened, though. The trip is about to get funnier soon.
[Magisk] nicegamer7:
Take your time and don't sacrifice your life for us. That being said, we'll be here, and willing to test a new version once it's ready. Thanks [MENTION=5228676]VR25[/MENTION]
[Magisk] Predatorhaze:
i still dont understand how to install this gapps package.I try to install on clean rom trough magisk manager>modules...but it come with this:

- Copying zip to temp directory

- Installing Magic_GApps-2017.11.9.zip

(i) BOOTMODE install is not supported

- Reboot into recovery & try again

Failed!

! Installation failed

When i try to flash it in TWRP it comes with an Error 1.

What am i doing wrong here?

EDIT: I have downloaded, and placed latest opengapps-XX.zip (from opengapps.org) package in sdcard>download...After that i flashed latest MagiskGapps trough TWRP and the install is a succes.Gonna try it now if everything works
[Magisk] Shished:
I wonder if it would be easier to make systemless gapps package from scratch than converting opengapps?
[Magisk] ramritharaj:
This is a great module. I need maps while traveling and I can enable this only when I want this running. You have to login every time whenever you disable it in magisk, but that's okay☺️
[Magisk] littleantony:
What is the advantage of doing this instead of just standard gapps
[Magisk] VR25:
In fact, older versions were just that. Several users suggested that I built a module which would take a regular Open Gapps zip and install it systemlessly. This in turn would make the module significantly smaller and easier to maintain (pull/push updates). At that time, I had pretty bad internet connection and this implementation became the best workaround for that.

Now, I see that going back to a full GApps implementation may actually be a step forward. The problem is -- I'll have to have different builds for different Android versions... or make an all in one package with the absolute minimum stuff required to run Google Play Store. I'll add more thought to that and decide whether it's the way to go.
[Magisk] Flounderist:
Worked on Nexus 7 2012

Hi, it worked on my old Nexus 7 2012 (grouper) running Lineage OS 14.1.

It flashed Pico package.

To get it working I clean flashed ROM and Magisk 15.3, once set up I rebooted device in recovery and flashed the module.

:highfive:

Is there any workaround to update gapps package (e.g. newer builds or bigger packages) without deleting and reflashing module on Magisk?
[Magisk] TheRealIntence:
I got an invalid response when trying to check safety net status. Could this module be the cause for that?
[Magisk] hariGS:
I did a clean install but i couldn't restore contacts and play services getting FC some times...
[Magisk] __riptide__:
Very nice module. However it is not installing faceunlock. Anyway to fix it?
[Magisk] VR25:
**2018.3.6 (201803060)**

- Display richer info during (re-)installation

- Fixed FaceUnlock & VR support detection

- Improved compatibility with all major Magisk versions

- ROM de-bloater on steroids -- check out `debloat.txt` inside the zip

- Simplified as much as possible -- no more "extra features" for the sake of stability, reliability and ease of maintenance (if you're interested, my `sysconfig patcher` module now supports MagicGApps)

- Updated documentation

----------------------

I've been very busy lately. The worst: accessing the internet has just become much more difficult and expensive in my current location. As a result, my online presence is greatly restricted, but I'll still keep pushing updates and providing support whenever possible.

[Magisk] skks:
For some reason the module says it can't bind-mount /persist .

I have been able to succesfully install it before, but for some reason not anymore. It might be a bug introduced in the new patch or the problem might be on my end. Other modules install without problems.
[Magisk] MFreeHost:

[MENTION=5228676]VR25[/MENTION] : Same error during binding .... so I keep using 20171015 build
[Magisk] VR25:
Nothing breaks. The module wins over same name files/apps only. Additionally, if your bundled GApps package includes extra apps not present in this module, those will still work. Essentially, MagicGApps will systemlessly replace existing files/apps.

[Magisk] Shished:
It seems that latest version zip file is corrupted. I cannot install it with magisk and twrp.

Files cannot be extracted from the archive on PC.

bad zipfile offset (local header sig)
[Magisk] VR25:
[MENTION=7847630]Shished[/MENTION], thanks for reporting. A new zip is up.
[Magisk] legendt:
Still the same. It crashes and doesn't let me log in. Is any I can help with?
[Magisk] VR25:
Yes, any help would be great. You could be a contributor to the project.

I can't seem to figure out what's causing this. I'm still debugging heavily. My current thought is that a module may be conflicting with GApps (either systemless version or not) or simply, something is faulty in the MagicGApps module itself. I created a standard/non-systemless version to figure that out... and yay! GMS also crashes in that one.

... But... but...

Both versions used to work just fine! I didn't remove, neither did I add anything that would make GMS crash. I even tried upgrading & downgrading the GMS APKs... still, no use. Checked zip integrity, no issues. Checked whether libs are extracted from the GMS APK... and yes, they are. So, the question remains... what is causing the crashes?
[Magisk] Shished:
I have Resurrection Remix N and this module works perfectly for me.
[Magisk] ajinxa:
I'm running CrDroid 3.3 and I had a login issue as well. Clean install of ROM, Magisk v12, and this mod. I can login, & accept the privacy agreement, but then get a can't connect to Google error.
[Magisk] VR25:
Hmm... that's the case I was looking for.

Could you guys tell me which modules you installed alongside this one?

I figured out yesterday that certain modules conflict with GApps (either systemless version or not).
[Magisk] ajinxa:
Tried it all by itself with no other modules.
[Magisk] ryaniskira:
Well this module is perfect for those with small system partitions. If they want a "fuller" Gapps installation that acts like it's on the system partition this is the perfect package for them, and it leave the system free for something like Arise which has to be installed on /system, and can take upwards of 300mb of space. I've actually toyed with the idea of making a systemless OpenGapps module for that exact purpose.
[Magisk] VR25:
New version is up. Let me know if gms crashes still persist. Working fine for me so far.

Edit: it works only on top of an already configured system. For Some reason, initial setup still crashes.
[Magisk] Shished:
Can you not add any launcher?

Preferred launcher can be installed from play store and App Systemizer module can convert it to a system app.

Various roms already has a launcher bundled.
[Magisk] VR25:
Have you read the OP? The package was stripped down as much as possible. There's no launcher included.
[Magisk] Shished:
It looks like this module fails SafetyNet check. I installed it on freshly installed ROM without Gapps and Magisk manager shows that it fails both checks. After that i installed openGapps pico and SN is now passes.
[Magisk] VR25:
I added a standalone module to fix that. It will self-destruct after doing its job (after a reboot, if you install it from Magisk Manager). Thanks for reporting.
[Magisk] Shished:
What if i will install it from TWRP? It wont self destruct? Does it needs to be reinstalled after ROM reflashing (w/o wiping /data)?
[Magisk] VR25:
It will self-destruct whether you install it from Magisk Manager or TWRP. It's just that if you do it from TWRP, it'll do its job and kill itself right after boot. Whereas from Magisk Manager, you'll need to reboot to apply changes, just as you do when a module is installed/updated.

It doesn't need to be reinstalled, unless you reinstall the current version of MagicGApps module.

Clarification on updating Google apps

I just recently installed the module. As the playstore is now asking to update certain Google apps, should I not update them through the playstore?
