Google Apps to cache for Android 4.4/KitKat

Installed (mostly) to /cache, and intended for ARMv6 (no libs, srec, or tts)

A full KitKat/CM11 ROM nearly fills our /system partition, so even the smallest, most trimmed gapps won't fit.
Option 2 is this - installing them to /cache and symlinking to /system :)

Because they are installed to /cache, do not wipe cache or factory reset after installing - you won't have gapps anymore.
If you do need to wipe cache, reinstall the zip afterwards.
Data can be wiped as long as you use Mounts & storage > Format /data, not factory reset from the main menu.

Added to /system: 9.9 MB
Added to /cache: 33.6 MB
(according to GNOME's archive manager)

If you have previously installed a different gapps package, please format /system and reinstall the ROM then this gapps package

Pick whatever mirror is fastest for you :)


I'll try and keep Play Services and the Play Store up to date so they don't use up space on /data, but neither of them make any notification when updated, so I might lag behind a bit.


Changelog:
20141026-2:
- Moved more things out from cache as 20141026 was not enough

20141026:
- Moved an app from cache to system, as the space usage on cache was too much for some devices

20141025:
- Removed SetupWizard (caused problems)
- Play Services updated to 6.1.83
- Play Store updated to 5.0.31

20140605:
- Play Store updated to 4.8.20

20140523:
- Play Services updated to 4.4.52 (1174655-012)

20140519:
- Initial package

@WinSuk,

Have you considered swapping the system and userdata partitions around (if userdata is actually bigger than system on your device)? See this patch as a reference: http://review.androidarmv6.org/#/c/7300/

We'll be enabling hardware TLS for all msm7x27 devices in the androidarmv6 project soon, which will require an updated recovery image. Now would be a good time to include the mtd hack, if it seems worthwhile for your device.

Our system partition is actually bigger than data :p 240MB vs 185MB.
It might be a useful hack for older ROMs like CM9 though (where we have lots of system space)

For like even bigger ROMs, or maybe gapps, you can use the /cache partition. Or bind it data to have more space

Does not function at all!

My Xperia broke from a drop on wooden floor - so i am now using my old Wildfire S
Install order:
cm-11-20150308-NIGHTLY-marvel (works as intended)
CronMod-INT2EXT4+_signed (works as intended)
gapps-4.4-tocache-20141026-2 (broken)
The Play Store functions at start, but WApp and YTube will demand that "Google Services Framework" is installed. (Can not pass this)
After "Google Services Framework" gets installed - gapps just crash all over. (Look at attached images)
YTube - crashes after logo
Instagram - crashes instantly
WApp - will not backup online, or download backups
Google Play - broken
gapps-base-arm-4.4.4-20170902-1-signed <- unable to install this new version of gapps (Look at last image)
