Noticed that the AdAway (-R both 1/24/2021 and 1/30/2021) addon in root-based mode breaks all the Amazon apps (shopping, prime video, photos, etc). Saying check internet connection and similar. To get the Amazon apps to work, I have to pause AdAway before using them.

This is one of those posts where the stated may have been obvious to some, but since it wasn't to me, I've decided to post anyway in the hopes that it saves someone else a headache.

I am one of the people who lost recents menu again after the late November update, and was never able to get it back.. I read every single post in this thread, explaining that my issue was related to using the full package, and even followed OPs direct recommendation to do a completely clean install, remembering to wipe the backup files... I understood, yet nothing I tried worked. I gave up after many attempts....

Long story short, I recently started using the canary updates in hopes that the issue was fixed, and found that if I update with the full package from 1/31, boot, and then dirty flash the update from 2/2 on top of it, I not only got my recents menu back, but I was able to keep everything in the full package without having to also flash a bunch of add-ons..

Anyway, thanks for listening.

Tl;DR: flash stock package on top of full package to restore recents menu

I installed the PixysOS GAPPS build (it includes NikGapps). I would love to have the PixelLauncher. But I tried a few times to install pixel launcher from the NikGapps package on top of the GAPPS build of pixysOS, but I would end up in partially working navigation gestures (swipe up gesture would not work anymore) and regular pop ups reporting that PixelLauncher ran into a problem.

For now, I'm satisfied, but I would love to get some help on how to install PixelLauncher.
[Android Software Development] Waki_Miko:
I switched to OpenGApps and the problem is gone. So I guess it is a NikGApps problem after all.
[Android Software Development] :
For me the problem is gone since the last Update (I believe). However, the last Update wasn't announced in here so it's not the 31.12. but 24.01.

EDIT: just checked the homepage and there were even 2 updates after that. I really don't like that support shifted from xda to telegram (exclusively?).

Hi everyone :)

I have installed a custom rom. When I try to install nikgapps, I the zip installation fails and it says "Looks like storage is full!". I have tried the smallest version.

I saw someone else above had the same problem, so I tried

Set InstallPartition=product in nikgapps.config and reflash the zip

Remove the prepended # in front of InstallPartition in nikgapps.config.

But for me it didn't fix it. Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] DrasticHarm:
Happened to me once too. In my case I installed a rom that contained gapps, hence there was no space left for more installs. Since you haven't mentioned which ROM you installed it is impossible to tell if you ran into the same "problem".

Hello,

I installed full version with a modified nikgapps.config including Google Assistant, but when I run the app it sends me to play store for download Google app. I search through nikgapps.config to enable it (1) but I can’t find it, I already has activated all options for core and basic and most of the omni, stock and full options. Is this app not included in any package?

I'm unsure if it is a problem with NikApps or my custom ROM, but I can't connect my car headunit to my phone via Android Auto. My phone just tends to freeze completely and soft-reboots after a while. The thing is that it is reproducible even when using the Google Headunit Emulator (included into the SDK tools). Attaching a logcat in hopes it somehow helps diagnose the issue...

Android Auto 5.9.604634 actually works, but 6.0.615334 crashes and hangs the whole phone. Can this be somehow fixed please?

Again, it is reproducible with the Google Headunit Emulator from the SDK Tools.

PS: Android 11, LineageOS based ROM.

PPS: even the 5.9 one is kinda unstable, sometimes hanging the phone like the 6.0 one. Actually it worked only once - immediately after setting up the new car connection, after that on a second reconnect I am getting the same hang.

PPPS: Android Auto managed to start on initial setup on 6.0, but any subsequent connections to the headunit resulted in the same hang. It seems it is able to actually connect ONCE, after that it just can't connect automatically.

i tried (los 18.1 - android 11) core nikgapps+android auto apk but didn't work (without message about google play services-just not connecting). it worked (both usb and wireless) with the full package of nikgapps( i edited the nikgapps.config file to install only the core + android auto+tts). in this case you don't have to install android auto separately.

[Android Software Development] Evengard:
I tried your config but it didn't helped - same symptoms. Which NikGapps version are you using?
[Android Software Development] namaf:
NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20210130-signed.zip and before this NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20201231-signed.zip again without problems. As i told you i uninstall android auto and then flashed the full version of nikgapps (with the config file) and everything is working as it should (in this case you find android auto at Settings-Connected devices-Connection preferences-Android Auto).

.
[Android Software Development] Evengard:
Nope, I tried both of theese packages, and both works fine first time, and then hangs on second connection of the same headunit. That's a real shame... =(

That may be a ROM problem at the end...

Hello, I am just getting started with AOSP and can now pull a repo and perform a make/flash to my SBC that is a Khadas Vim3 Pro. This is is a tablet build I am focused on.

I am wanting to install your GApps into this build but as I said I am just getting started so I dont know how.

As there is no TWRP on with the setup I am working with, how would I install?

I imagine I should somehow integrate the zip file into my local copy of the repo before I 'make' but I do not know how. I am using Ubuntu 20.04 and must admit I am a beginner with this as well, I have been a Windows guy for decades :)

Any assistance would be appreciated!

[Android Software Development] HtHNightwolf:
Hello,

I am using LineageOS 18.1 for the Aquaris X Pro (unofficial and nightly yeah yeah) and had to move to NikGapps since OpenGapps does not exist for Android 11.

So I tool the Basic package but I have an issue:

The Contact Sync option is not showing up.

I tried literally every troubleshooting / fixing for this issue that you can find when googling it but for the love of it I can not find the issue.

I even tried to install the Contacy Sync APK as system service myself and re-setup my Google contacts app but it only asks me to enter email-adress and password for my google account. When I do, it ends up telling me there is onle the Local phone to save contacts.

The Google Account is properly set up, yes, and every other sync (like calendar and drive etc) all work. But the Contact apps still claim they have no Google account to sync contacts with. When I try to enter my Google Account credentials again, they tell me the account does already exist on the phone.

Yeah it does bot since it has nothing to offer for the contacts app, I am stuck.

Can anyone give any advice to this behaviour?

--------------------EDIT --------------------

I found a solution, see post #162 here.

--------------------EDIT --------------------

Hello there, I am using LineageOS 18 on HTC U11 device.

I am having issues with Google Maps, locations services and google services in general.

I flashed 2 different versions, in this order:

1) "base" ->NikGapps-basic-arm64-11-20201214-signed.zip

2) "full" -> NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20210130-signed.zip

Now I have different issues:

A) Google maps show no blue dot whatsoever, no GPS fixing

B) GPS is working inside other apps (also used faster GPS and other test tools)

C) A few apps say they "cannot access location"

D) My banking app is not working, probably because Google Play services are missing/corrupt (I read the same error code happens to people using Huawei phones)

What do you suggest? Is there any way to totally uninstall both versions? And then flash them again maybe? I read I have to use "uninstall mode" and set a flag in the config file but...I flashed 2 different versions! Any way to "hard uninstall" any reference to NikGapps? Thanks a lot for your help!
[Android Software Development] :
You don't have to flash 2 different versions, full contains everything from every other package.
[Android Software Development] energia:
Yes, I supposed so. But apparently Play Services are not working correctly. So I would like to know how to be sure I get rid of BOTH installations, I am afraid there is something I could miss because of my scenario.

Hi, looks like you need twrp to easily flash it.

When you're performing adb sideload operation which recovery are you sending the command to? Is it lineage?

Clean flash with nikgapps works too :)
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Wipe /data without internal storage when this happens.

If you don't want to lose data, delete

/data/misc_de/*/apexdata/com.android.permission/runtime_permissions.xml

However, all your permissions will be reset so you'll have to allow the permissions manually.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Ah! Looks like mounting failed for you. Will check it out :) thanks for sharing all the info.

Hi everyone,

Just reporting my latest attempt with NikGapps that finally worked for my POCO F2 Pro (lmi) running CrDroid v7.x. Back in January I was using NikGapps (R), clean flashing worked (core or basic, full would cause storage errors) but after dirty flashing/installing any add-on it would lead to storage issues (both in system and product partitions), even though I had enough free space. Updating the ROM broke a lot of stuff due to the survival scripts so I ended up clean flashing again and switching back to FlameGapps.

Starting a couple days ago I noticed some issues with Maps in both (latest as of now) FlameGapps and OpenGapps, so I found the (kinda) new NikGapps canary releases (2021-02-10) and decided to give it a go. Once again dirty flashing lead to storage issues, but digging into the logs I noticed it happened because the partition was read-only. Actually, after that even TWRP wasn't able to write (even though I mounted /system read-write). I rebooted and tried again using the product partition and it finally worked.

Since January, other than switching to the newer canary release, the only thing I changed was updating Magisk (v22). Although lmi is is an A-only device, it has dynamic partitioning so it might be tricky, but now it appears to be fine.

Cheers!

After booting, I didn't see the Google setup to restore call logs, SMS and WiFi data from the cloud (which was the reason to use NikGapps). What did I do wrong?

Hello,

Running LOS 18.1 on OnePlus 8T with NikGapps core, and Android Auto is not working. I did read this thread and it seems that I need to install (at least ?) AndroidAuto Addon. But I installed the stable version NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210130-signed.zip. So my question is : can I flash directly the AndroidAuto canary version on my core version, or do I need to flash the core Canary version and then AndroidAuto ? Or any other combination ?

Thank you for your help :) .

[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hi,

I would suggest you to keep things consistent.

so for example if you're flashing gapps from canary release, flash the addon from canary release only.

same goes with stable. :)

Did you flash the gapps after first boot? make sure you flash before first boot and it should work fine. if it is not working, please grab a logcat and share here.

Hi, do you mind sending me a PM, or reach out to me on telegram at @inikhilmenghani?

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. I know it is better to keep consistent, but as I installed version stable from 30/01/2021 which does not provide AndroidAuto addon, while the 24/01 version is providing it, I was asking the question. So am I blocked ?

Regards
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hi, the suggestion was to keep things consistent. However, you can flash the addon from newer release if your current stable setup doesn't have the addon.

Besides, android auto doesn't have a direct link between gms version. The newer version comes with more permissions applied than older one so in this case you should be able to flash canary version android auto addon on top of stable build.
