Just wanted to say a massive thanks for all your work and efforts... BiTGApps deserves more recognition as one of the best... If not the best as far as my experience with others goes - for compatibility across various roms and installs etc.

Cheers
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
But keep in mind, i didn't get bug reports all the time and barely users come up to help fix bugs. Most of the time, i fix them on my own, with a guess.
[Android Software Development] _pietro:
i read the faq and have a question... what is a dirty install?! thanks
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Installing over already installed package, it can be either flashing the same version or newer.
[Android Software Development] _pietro:
ok, its the same as dirty flash... thanks

@TheHitMan there come an issue where normal mic start to stuck if assistant is setted up, what could be the issue in that case? if assistant is active, i can't use mic for anything else, whatsapp voice msgs sent empty with nothing recorded, its like mic is always busy at somewhere
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Android Version ? BiTGApps Version & Variants ? Platform ?

Did you updated Assistant from Playstore ?
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
I didn't get this, what do you mean with setted up ? Like setting assistant for voice search under Settings > Apps & notification > Default apps.
[Android Software Development] HassanMirza01:
Android: 14

BItGApps i tried latest minimal with assistant addon 2.6 i think

If i use only above stuff, it works fine but not on lockscreen, and if i use hotword apks and jar files too for lockscreen support, mic get bugged,
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
I haven't added hotword stuff in BiTGApps, so i can't make any claims on this. I think all that hotword support comes from ROM, but not sure about that.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
If i get it right, without this hotword stuff mic is working fine ?
[Android Software Development] _pietro:
is there any way to run setup wizard and/or set backup/restore for additional users provided by android?!

[Android Software Development] _pietro:
i wasn't clear... i'm using multiple accounts on android 11, followed your guide, the setupwizard/restore or setupwizard/copy phone runs for the phone owner account only... when you add another user you can just login your google account

is it possible to force running the setupwizard/restore or setupwizard/copy phone for the additional users too?! is it impossible by android design?! configuring additional users without restore mode take a lot of time...

thanks again

Last Release of Year 2023!

BiTGApps Stable Release (v2.7)

This update brings Android 14 Google Apps Package including bootloop fixes for older Android version.

Handle free space required by SetupWizard installation (New).

Exclude negative integer before disk free function (New).

Minor installation fixes under the hood (Hotfix).

Added Support for Android 14 Google Apps Package.

Removed GMS Doze fixes Superficial issues with UI/UX.

Advance Features and Options now available.

Minor adaptations to installation stack for Android 14.

Added missing Privileged Permissions fixes bootloop.

It will now show backup/restore progress during OTA update.

Config file is also updated, it is now bitgapps.conf instead of bitgapps-config.prop; Relevant for SetupWizard users.

With this release, we started to save installation logs in internal storage and /system/etc (if encrypted data).

Installation logs file is usually named as bitgapps_debug_logs_xx.tar.gz

You certainly don't have to flash new BiTGApps release on top of last installation, if everything is fine with your last installation, Just keep this as is and switch to new BiTGApps release, When you clean flash ROM again or want to use a feature which is available in new release and not in last. However you can keep the latest version downloaded.

💥 Latest release can be found at https://bitgapps.io
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Last Release of Year 2023!

There are a lot of users who do not use SetupWizard, that initial Google Setup screen. But still they are keeping the burden of free space requirement of SetupWizard alone. It nearly took 22MB's in Android 14 which is not worthy to have, when you just have CORE version. With December 31st release, this additional space will be excluded from Non SetupWizard users. It will help those, who are struggling with Google Apps size even with minimal version and others will left with more free space in system.

After installing BiTGApps and successfully booting into system, there is no need to flash new BiTGApps update on top of it. Just don't OK! You are supposed to install it only once and whenever you update within the same ROM, OTA Survival will take care of Google Apps. Unlike stock rom, they booted once with whatever Google Apps and nobody is re-flashing them by any means.

Flash new BiTGApps, when switching to different ROM or its a clean flash, Go brrrrrr.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:

If ROM has payload.bin stuff or does not shipped with addon.d backup functionality, in that case You need to reflash GApps Package after OTA update, Go brrrrr.

Since BitGApps V2.8 I got a Sound-Problem (No Ringtone, SMS- nor Notification Sound is played when selected in the Settings ans also not when the OS is running).

I get only sound-confirmatin when using Vol-Up/-Down.

This also applies to the new v3.2 :(

My Phone is a Samsung Note 2 GT-N7100 with Android 7.1.2 (LineageOS 14.1)

The last versiion where alls Tones do work is V2.7 of the BiTGApps.

Does my Note2 with Android 7.1.2 belong to the "older Platform"?
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:

So i released two updates in a row v3.1 & v3.2 to fix that broken audio on older Platform. But it turns out, it is still there. With the help of @super14253, we figured out what causing this and new build will be released soon with proper fixes. All thanks to @super14253 for his time and efforts.

Im in this process and am halfway there for crDroid. I think i need to remove duplicates between crDroid & BitGapps, which will hopefully be flag/variable

[Android Software Development] DiamondJohn:
I am building crDroid A14 (v10.4 it worked in v10.2) not A13.

I have already built A13 (for Google Pixel 4a sunfish) with gapps, and distribute it here on XDA.

I also have a release with GApps of crDroid v10.2 (which is A14). However, when I did a resync for crDroid v10.4, the method I used (source from Bliss) failed to build.

So i am working on this for a quiet long time and progress has been made, you will soon able to build your own custom build by simply passing arguments from here. After your reach submit button, your custom build will be prepared. CronJob set to run every 2 minutes, so yeah you will get it after this time frame.

If you didn't like your current selection, you can reset it and start with new one, before submit. Still some work left, when it is done, i will let you know here.
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Brilliant. Many thanks.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
It's done now!

Custom build process is now fully automated and once a username is assigned to you, you can build it yourself by simply passing arguments from self build link. No further approval is required from our side. CronJob is set to run every 2 minutes. You can build it anytime, even before flashing a new Custom ROM.

1. You can reset, if you didn't like your selection.

2. After selection, click submit for build request.

3. Get status of your downloads from status button.

[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Hello

I am looking for help making Android Auto work.

I'm using the latest LOS 21 June 19th build, clean flashed.

Phone is Samsung Galaxy S8

Installed BitGapps 3.5 (latest) MINI b4 booting to system - because it includes Android Auto and the Google app.

I cannot make it finish the connection to the car - it seems to be something to do with the USB mode, which just says "file transfer" instead of the required "File transfer/Aundroid Auto"

Has anyone got it working and can tell me what I've got wrong?

Many thanks.

PS i'm posting the same question in the LOS21 S8 thread.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Did you get it working with another gapps package ?
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
I have not tried another one - yet.

So far I only looked at Nikgapps, but you have to install the full bloated version to get Android Auto and that put me off doing it.

I will do that if you recommend it as next step?

Thanks for your reply.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
If it works then i can pull the same working version.
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
OK I will do it and let you know the result.

I might not reply quickly because I have a busy family weekend, but I definitely will respond.

Many thanks
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Take your time :)
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
I did a completely clean flash of LOS 21 on the S8 and this time used ...

[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Not sure what you mean ?
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Through custom build.
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Yes, happy to pay and do that if you let me know the minimum I have to include in addition to "Core" to make Android Auto work ?

I am looking for a minimal installation - many thanks.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
You don't have to pay, its free :D
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Here is your build, similar to mini version but with updated Android Auto.

[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Oh wow, many thanks for this, very kind of you.

I will do another fresh install with it, and report back.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
I will release new BiTGApps after that.

Thanks (y)
[Android Software Development] HiQual:
Congratulations - that works brilliantly.

There was a slight hiccup caused by me during my setup. My first attempt failed because Android Auto needed an update and I did not have a data connection out in the car. After establishing a data connection and connecting again the app update proceeded and the connection completed.

I'm very happy that I have a minimal GApps phone setup with Android Auto.

Thanks very much.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Its a stub APK, so you need to update it first. This is expected. Thanks for your time and efforts.

One more question please

The Command to optimize gaps on Pie it's for First time only or after each update or after each reboot ?
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
After every reboot.
[Android Software Development] Ysfzone:
You can make a Magisk Module to execute this Command on every reboot ? It's easy and more practice to us..

[Android Software Development] m0han:
v12 is for pie and v0.6 is for android 10. you might like to grab v13 from the link in op or wait for v0.7 if on android 10.
[Android Software Development] jandia7381:
Is this ok dev? Am i doing the right thing?

Fyi i'm updating pie v12 to v13 by dirty flashing just the gapps. Tqia :svetius:

[Android Software Development] BillGoss:
[MENTION=8569961]TheHitMan[/MENTION]

Here's another suggestion. It would be really nice to keep all BiTGapps related installation files together. So, rather than have the config file and the zipped logs on /sdcard it would be neat and tidy to keep them with the installation zip.

So, attached is a set of sed commands that will modify the installer.sh script do just that (far better than trying to manually make the changes!). To run it put the file in the same directory as the installer script and use:

sed -f bg.txt installer.sh > new.sh

Then you can replace the original installer.sh with the modified one.

You can do a diff between the two .sh files to see what was changed.

Fyi, I'm using the modified installer in my copy of the installing zip file.
[Android Software Development] Be4st187:
Just had this issue myself. Turns out the files get flashed with no permissions. I just went into apps settings, found Contacts Sync and gave it permissions to read contacts. Rebooted and it synced up. For good measure, I checked all the other stuff like Calendar Sync, Play Services, Google Framework and Play Store and found them all to be missing permissions. I have flashed this ROM and BiTGApps a fair few times over the past 2 weeks and this is the first time I have ran into this issue. Nothing has changed and no order in the items I flashed changed. You may want to add to the OP that you can just give the permissions because I was one step away from using the MSM Tool and starting my setup from scratch.
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
What about magisk ? Did you flashed it after BiTGApps before rebooting to system ?
[Android Software Development] Be4st187:
No, before BiTGApps. I flash ROM>Magisk>Kernel and then BiTGApps after a reboot. Not had an issue until now. Need to flash Magisk before kernel as I have had issues with the kernel causing bootloops if Magisk isn't already installed and if the system booted with stock kernel previously
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
Thats why i said to use magisk after a boot.
[Android Software Development] Baim alif:
batik recovery....

flash the rom > flash bitgapps > flash magisk > rebooted to system

no problems... i have no issues...
[Android Software Development] TheHitMan:
As said already, if you have no issue you can continue with your current setup else flash magisk after a reboot.
[Android Software Development] asafegous:
I don't see play store.
[Android Software Development] Hopie:
Hi.. new on BITGapps.

try with config file, but it doesn't work. no setup after first fullwipe flash.
