Screenshot would give a better idea.

I have not touched anything related to maps and I'm not facing this issue.

Is it consistent?

[MENTION=6703745]_HUGO_[/MENTION] I hope, the Dialer issue is fixed for you! :)
[Android Software Development] _HUGO_:
At the moment I'm on EvolutionX Rom but today I will flash ProjektPaerl V2, and use your Gapps....

Edit :

I have tested your Gasps now, the Dialer works perfectly.

Only ProjektPaerl is not a big thing....

Now I'm on Stock 9.5.9.

OP a quick report while I was testing your latest ZIP(basic one). When I install it on my freshly installed ROM and I want to launch Youtube Vanced it leads to force closes, just won't open or will close in a few seconds. Please look into it.
[Android Software Development] ahmedegypt:
Does this gapps have pixel sounds and Google home feed?
[Android Software Development] Forever Alone:
Try installing Payzapp application from Google Play Store. It says device not supported. Then when I install it from phone it says apk not installed. The error which I posted came from adb with adb install command.

PS: yes i cannot install that app anyhow ? even tried titanium backup restore from other phone. I don't have pc right now for screenshot
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
It's working fine for me, are you still facing the issue? Let me know if you do, I built a fresh package and tested on Reloaded - CAF, it worked just fine!

No it doesn't, if it is really needed I can create an add on zip and include them.

Can you share the apk file? the region I live in doesn't have that application in play store.
[Android Software Development] vamshikailasa:
Awesome gapps .... It feels like pixel phone...

Why not if they release new versions?
[Android Software Development] lifesaver38:
I never Saw differences between gapps versions...
[Android Software Development] sanguinesaintly:
The only reason I've ever reinstalled GApps is if I needed to flash a completely new ROM. Otherwise, the Play Store takes care of things.
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
Hi, Anyone tried Google (Sound) Recorder? It caused my phone to restart on first use. Thereafter no sound recorded.
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
The new versions are those tweaks or just new versions by the compiler of the Gapps, eg OpenGapps BitintheGap or the developer of Nikgapps.

Gapps, most if not all self-updates. So why put out new packages? It saves you from updating the packages from the Play store.

Historical info:

Google Play services, some old versions 6 or 7 do not accept time settings via wifi and crashed. The result is no Play store.

The fix is to manually set the time, for Play services to run so that it can update itself to ver 8 via the Play store. Thereafter it takes network time from anywhere.
[Android Software Development] Eir Layris:
I had some issues on my phone after installing this gapps pack:

> Pixel Launcher Crash Everytime

> Maps won't work, every I click on it, the crash popup showed up

> Google Chrome can't detect my Google Account even though I've been signed in my account to my phone

> Google Board always send me notification "Missing Google Services", but Google Play Services is already installed on my phone

Gapps that I use: NikGApps-Full-latestrelease-Q

Rom Installed on my Phone: Nusantara Project V2.8

My Phone: Asus Zenfone Max M2 (X01AD)

Any way to fix this? Please help me

Been try nikgapps core on latest Redmi note 8 21.8.4 beta rom everything was find until I try to sign in to playstore the sign in button just blinking but not get through and in the account&sync there is no Google option on add an account any suggest sorry for my poor english 🙏🙏
[Android Software Development] Kingsident:
Hello Nik. Awesome work you have going on. I sideloaded your Gapps package along with Havoc OS 4.6 on my Redmi 5 Plus. The problem is i can't add my already existing Google account on Chrome.

When I launch Chrome, then tap on "sign in to chrome" and "add account" it takes me to a page to sign in to Google afresh and this doesn't let me add my already existing Google accounts on my device. When I try to sign in with a different account, the process crashes and restarts Chrome.

Is there anything I can do to resolve this?

Thank you!
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Give contacts permission to gms and chrome
[Android Software Development] Kingsident:
That works. Thank you!

Google Play Store has been corrupted on Android R - core package. Even though I checked in the folder /system/product/priv-app/Phonesky there was a Phonesky.apk file, the APK file was corrupted, so the Google Play Store was not installed.

@Nikhil

Maddening day here with trying to flash NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20210804-signed.zip

Keeps overwriting my /sdcard/NikGapps/nikgapps.config and installing every bloody package...then failing saying storage is full when its not (i increased my /system_a/b to 3Gb each)

Also trying the same after first reboot into system...same issues, ignored config, storage full

Flashing omni of same date processes the config properly...
[Android Software Development] adibaulia:
how to uninstall specific addons?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Can you send me the installation logs when the config doesn't get recognized and it overwrites the original config value?
[Android Software Development] Tần Quảng:
@Nikhil Can you fix the "An error occurred while parsing the package" error for the Phonesky.apk file on Android R - core package?
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
I think you need to state what is the date of the Gapps
[Android Software Development] Tần Quảng:
The file that I use is: NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210804-signed.zip

I just went to sourceforge, saw that the new version has been updated, I have not used that version. Therefore, I'm not sure if Phonesky.apk file still has corrupt or not?!
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
When I set up my device, I flashed the Pixelise section with a Full Apps. Now Google account says I am using a Pixel 4a, while the says Poco X3.

I think this caused my location history not to work. How can I get Google to recognize it as a Poco without factory reset?

Attached is the config file.
[Android Software Development] 73sydney:
A G-Apps package wont change your devices ID, thats set by the ROM itself and its entries in the build.props file, usually under /system

I suspect youre running a custom ROM, some developers of some ROM's will change the devices ID to a mainstream phone like a Google Pixel in order to get extra features available on a (more recent) Pixel. It happens even on some ROM's for my Pixel 2XL, some developers will try and force it to identify as a Pixel 5....i view this as a really really bad idea, im not a fan of it as it leads to other issues...like this...

You can either check with the ROM's developer as to if and why they have changed the ID, there are ways to change it back on the same ROM, but thats another conversation
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
Thank you for your reply. I have checked the build.props file and it says Poco everywhere, so it must be something in there that is not so apparent. Oh bugger.

So this is for a different thread.
[Android Software Development] 73sydney:
The only other thing i can think of is maybe a magisk module that may have edited the build.prop and changed the ID - things like MagiskHide Props Config may do this...and also incidentally can be used to correct the issue too
[Android Software Development] AlexMirrors:
Hello everyone,

Probably this was intended but I noticed that if I open "Find My Device" it says that Google Play Service is not installed, so it doesn't work.

Is it correct? I flashed latest release on Android 11

Thank you
[Android Software Development] AlexMirrors:
Fyi, I just realised that I flashed nikgapps for Android Q instead of R.Shame on me.

Dirty flash worked.
[Android Software Development] highdiver_2000:
I was just realized that my old 3T has Android 11 too. The Location permission for Play Services is different (3T Location-Always, Poco Location-Only in use). I went through this thread and found a way to clear ALL apps permission.

You need to have DPS installed. Device Personalization Services.
[Android Software Development] tres_linguas:
Seems like DPS has recently been renamed to android system intelligence, which is installed on my device. So must be sth else - alternatively, this change might be the very reason (in case there is a dependency in some part of code trying to call for the old package name, which, of course, is not existent any more. In this case the code would have to be adapted to call for android system intelligence instead of device personalization services)

Step 1: Uninstall Playstore updates of Google Apps

Step 2: Go to /system/addon.d folder and delete all the scripts that starts with "50-"

Step 3: Dirty flash Rom

Step 4: Flash newer version of NikGapps

Note: this doesn't allow you to dirty flash GBoard/Google Clock app, for that you need to wipe /data and then flash gapps
[Android Software Development] tres_linguas:
New assumption - it should work fine with android system intelligence,too, but this doesn't work as it should on my particular custom ROM (MSM Xtended for mido).

Intelligent answer suggestions are not working even though this function is enabled, which led me to the assumption that android system intelligence is not working properly.

It might not be working becoz of incompatible device information (I remember pixel wizard telling me"welcome to your new pixel5 phone" when I booted for the first time into this rom

thats not the purpose of the project sadly

it provides (un official) G-Apps for ROMs thats it

Its not a framework for modding to install other apps

Hi Nikhil,

is it possible to get basic package except google dallier ?
[Android Software Development] Tần Quảng:
@Nikhil Looks like there are some issues with the NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210918-signed.zip (Android R) file. It didn't install some apps like GmsCore...

This is the log directory created after flashing, check it out:

In addition, I also followed your instructions to fix the error of not showing incoming calls even though there is still a ringtone by setting google dialer as default but it doesn't fix it when there are more than 1 applications on the phone capable of making calls.

If possible, can you adjust the Location permission of the Google Play Service app to be disableable? Because of that permission, that application will run 24/24, really consuming battery and network data.

Alright guys,

Android 12 gapps are up!

Mostly everything is working (tried on AOSP - thanks to @raghavt20 and ArrowOs (thanks to @Joker_V2_0/@merothh for the build)

Although you may encounter some crashes here and there, remember the Roms aren't exactly stable yet.

The builds were already in Canary-Releases for a while (will add them now to stable too)

Changelog? check https://nikgapps.com/downloads#downloads

Download? here or soon will be here

Have Fun!

P.S. custom/config builds are also setup (with nikgapps.config v18) so go ahead and create a custom gapps build for android 12 for you!

Cheers!

[Android Software Development] Tần Quảng:
The fix he gave was: Go to Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Phone apps -> select Google Dialer (the name may vary by phone's ROM, but the package of that app is com.android.dialer).

But it can only be fixed if your phone only has Google Dialer, if you have more than one application that has permission to make calls, the error will still occur.
[Android Software Development] Tần Quảng:
Yes, it would be nice to be able to disable (temporarily or permanently) location permission to stop apps from running in the background.

If you can make it force stop (can't force stop it at the moment, when you press force stop it won't stop) or not start automatically when the device boots up that would be even better.

Also, if you can disable auto-update and download new version in background of GmsCore (like Lucky Patcher's Modded Play Store) that would be great, I would be very grateful for that.
[Android Software Development] Bork Bork:
I've been curious for a while now, but why can't googleclock be dirty flashed? It's the only app that has this issue.

I got 5 devices running LOS 18.1 with the same issue. Only a clean install fixes this problem.

- Working for GoogleClock
- Config Value is 1
- unpacking AppSet/GoogleClock/GoogleClock.zip
-> to /dev/tmp/GoogleClock.zip
- Unzipping /dev/tmp/GoogleClock.zip
-> copying installer.sh
-> to /dev/tmp/pkgContent/installer.sh
- default_partition=product
- InstallPartition is default
- InstallPartition = /system/product
- Can't dirty flash GoogleClock

This seems also to lead to the issue where it can't be installed from the Play Store either on some devices. A clean flash solves this though.

Hello Internet people :)

Are there any drawbacks of removing EasterEgg via NikGapps Debloater? I mean.. is it safe? I am doing this for a long time, had no issues.. but still wanted to know what exactly it does..
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
It's safe. It removed the Easteregg so you lose the ability to see the Easter egg when you constantly tap on Android version in settings. No biggie.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hey,

A bit late in responding but I checked out the logs.

Genuinely there is no space left in your device hence its returning that error. It surprised me when I checked the logs and it showed that there was enough space to install gapps but if you check out NikGapps.log, you'll see after every app installation there is a section that shows how much space is remaining. There you can see the system ran out of space.

I will provide a better view going forward but for now, only option available for you is to flash the smaller gapps package or build custom gapps package picking smaller sized apps.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
You can always install NikGapps-core as a quick fix when this happens.

[Android Software Development] yuruyuri:
I have been experiencing abnormal communication of 100-300 kbps constantly for several days, so I checked the logs and found that the process called SystemUpdate was looping. Since the log contains the string "gms", is this a bug that has something to do with NikGapps or is it caused by ROM?

Device: Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 | whyred

ROM: crDroid 7.10 (Android 11)

Gapps: NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20211018-signed
[Android Software Development] yuruyuri:
It may not be a fundamental solution, but by blocking ota.googlezip.net in AdAway, that communication stopped.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Weird, that's out of my control though. This is something you would experience with every gapps out there.

[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
New Stable Release is up! (Q/R) (25th Dec 2021)

Changelog:

- Fixed aosp dialer being unset as default dialer even when GoogleDialer was not flashed (like with core package) (for those who noticed :p)

- Fixed an issue with installing a few apps such as GoogleWallpaper on android 10 (thanks for reporting)

- Fixed gapps size being miscalculated in some scenarios

- Introduce use_zip_config value starting nikgapps.config v19 to use nikgapps.config from zip while installing

- Update YouTube Vanced apps to latest versions (Vanced YouTube - 16.29.39, Music - 4.57.52, Manager - 2.6.2)

- Drop PixelTips, GoogleTalkback as those aren't so much useful, Move GoogleTTS from full to separate addons

- Bring back PixelSetupWizard for now (and also include it in omni, stock and full)

- Installer script improvements

- Playstore Updates (25th Dec 2021)

Note:

- You can always dirty flash the gapps (although, you need to update gapps only when you clean flash).

- Take backup before if you plan to dirty flash gapps.

- v19 is up and I recommend updating your nikgapps.config to v19.

- you can set use_zip_config=1 in nikgapps.config if you want the installer to pick config file from zip, this can be used while sideloading the gapps or when the /data is encrypted.

- NikGapps doesn't rely on nikgapps.config to function, nikgapps.config just comes with additional features for you to customize the installation.

Download

Thanks for choosing NikGapps!

Merry Christmas Everyone! :)
