[GAPPS][DAILY] Open GApps for Android; All Android Versions & Devices

[Lostek]

Thank you, for your answer, runekock.

First of all, I prefer to ask with this "bundle" as I have many questions atm, and all my questions (sadly) cohere with each other. But I believe that after one or two rounds, it will be more clear to me and question will disappear

Some more reactions on my original questions:

[1][11] Yes, meanwhile I make a research and OpenGApps has no port for Android 13. This article helped me to be more in a picture with GApps alternatives: https://www.xda-developers.com/download-google-apps-gapps.

Ok, microG is a bit different project, thank you for your information about this.

Do you have some experiences with other GApps solutions, esp. on Android 13 devices? Are manners, procedure of installation and using of all these GApps solutions plus/minus same?

BiTGApps
FlameGapps
LiteGapps
MagiskGapps
MindTheGapps
NikGApps
OpenGApps

I guess for LineageOS 20, the best option would be MindTheGapps.

[2] Wiping data is the solution, but it means i will get the clean installation. Ok, so there is no GApps package solution that can be installed additionaly, i.e. all must be set up at one time?

[3] Little off topic, please. Are you familiar with Galaxy phones, please? I am just wondering if in this tutorial:

there is installed the Custom Recovery. The truth is that there is the "recovery.img" file in LineageOS builds file that is need for flash: https://download.lineageos.org/devices/beyond1lte/builds
So do you think that this is the (LineageOS) Custom Recovery, or do we deal with phone's recovery in the video?

[4][5][6][7] So all GApps they are part of the package and already installed with the package, they stick to the package and I can not simply uninstall them, am I right? So if I want less Google apps (get rid of them), I have to downgrade and re-flash with lower level package?

But if I want more Google apps, can I simply download them via Aurora or Google Store? Does it work like this?
The minimum GApps package ("core", "pico", etc.) installed (flashed) on my phone will allow me to install and use whatever Google apps from the Aurora/Google Store?

Or do I select within every package during the installation process which Google app I install?

Maybe I still miss how it works, I am sorry.

Well, so if I want only Google Calendar, Drive, Gmail, Play Store & Translator apps, I install the smalest package, and than normally download these apps (via Aurora or Google Store) and use them?

[6] Ok, there are e.g. "OsmAnd" or "Mapy.cz" maps. I do not want to use "Goole Maps". So if i install the smallest package from whatever GApps solution, I will be able to use any maps, correct?

[8] That is why I use only "Aurora Store". 95% apps downloded via "Aurora Store" works fine, but yes, some of them they need Google Services. As I understand correct, with the even smallest package I will make every app, incl. the Google ones, 100% functional, even without "Google Store" app installed? Functionality is realated with Google Services, not with "Google Store" app, correct?

[9][10] So using any GApps on my phone via concrete GApps package will not give me any advantages? These apps will behave as on usual Google Android phone? The "Shelter" app works perfectly on my phone. Right know i do not have on my phone any of Google apps. I do not use any GApps package, but I belive that to freeze "Google Calnder" etc. would be no problem at all, but of course, when the app is freezed, there is no sync and activity; this is just on demand type of usage.

Thank you for your comments!

Not to get severely off topic/inappropriate in a "competing" thread, but NikGapps has become arguably the most robust configurable GApps solution around, and is my preferred one now that Open GApps is on hiatus. A lot of your questions might be answered by the NikGapps thread OP and/or Wiki.

 

[Lostek]

Thank you for your tip with the NikGapps. I will try his support.

Anyway, if there be anybody to answer on some of my question, I will appreciate this.

Opengapps for android 12 is not available on official site. When will opengapps officially release for 12L arm64?

 

[Nezorflame]

Hey everyone, long time no see.
Recently I bought Nothing Phone 2 which has support for custom recovery, so that means I'm somewhat back in the game

@tushargopale I plan to "resurrect" the project, at least on paper.
For now, no ETAs, but it'll be up soon-ish.

Basically, it'll be in form of unofficial builds, like I did some years ago, with an exception - those will be hosted on our official SourceForge page.

As for the question "which GApps solution is the best for me?", my answer, as always, is - use the GApps package that your ROM developer suggested.
With that said, I also suggest to keep using NikGapps from @Nikhil as the most "alike" solution to OpenGApps, at least until I resume the builds on somewhat acceptable basis.

I need some help.
I've ported opengapps aosp to amlogic s905x4 aosp.
This is android 11 version.
Apps run normally, but Can't log in(sign in) to google in youtube tv or setupwizard or etc..
I've used both google webview and android webview for webview, but it's the same problem.
I've also ported Mindthegapps and I get the same problem.

When I log in, I always get the following log.
W Auth : [FrpUnlockTask] FRP not required. Device was not locked. I Auth : [AddAccountOperation] Initializing sign-in I Auth : [AddAccountOperation] fetching LST for auth code E GmsTaskScheduler: sendWakeUpEvent called on SchedulerClientBroadcastStrategy I Auth : [AddAccountOperation] Handle addAccountResponse. I Auth : [AddAccountOperation] sign-in complete with needsBrowser response W Auth : [AddAccountTask] Failed to sign in SERVER_ERROR I Auth : [AddAccountTask] Delivering result. I Auth : [AddAccountLoader] Got result: status=1unicorn=false

What could be the cause of not being able to log in(sign in)?
What usually causes login problems?

gapps build option
GAPPS_VARIANT := tvmini

The text may be awkward because I used a translator.

The log file is attached.

hi, Have you solved the problem yet. I had the same problem!

Is there anything new to say?
OpenGApps is still pretty dead atm, which is very sad...

I think it's safe to assume that OpenGApps is dead, it's well beyond the point of simply being temporarily on hold. The devs havent posted in many months, not even to say that it's just on hiatus and will return in the future. And besides that, the last OpenGApps releases are for Android 11, we are now on Android 14, and 15 is coming soon. Even if it comes back, they will have way too much catching up to do for the project to be manageable. There are a few other GApps providers out there that you can try, I'd move on. OpenGApps always was my fave, but I've managed without them.

What he said. There are other GApps providers like MindTheGapps and NikGapps (which is the one I use) that have taken up the mantle from OpenGApps. NikGapps, in fact, still has releases going all the way back to Android 9 (Pie), and like OpenGApps, provides packages from "core" to "full" depending on how much GApps you need. MindTheGapps, unfortunately, stops at Android 13, so if you're using 14, you're SOL there.

MindTheGApps has Android 14 builds. I'm using it on an A14 LineageOS gsi ROM right now. The only problem with MTG, is that it isnt customizable. The zips are take it or leave it, you're installing all the components in the zip, or not at all. There is only 1 version (all the zips are the same, excluding hardware/Android version-specific details) which is essentially 1 size fits all. But most other GApps providers have customization in that you can choose which parts you do/don't want. But MTG is also very minimal, it just includes the core GApps components and little to no bloat. So it's not a big deal to me. I don't need all the extra stuff, just Play Services/Play Store/calendar and contacts syncing, not much else.

My mistake. I was looking at the collection of zips on Android File Host, but it apparently hasn't been updated for a long time (or has been abandoned?). The last zips there are for Android 13.

Yes, same with NikGapps. Their "core" package would be the equivalent to MTG, and their "basic" package more akin to what you want (it includes the core components, plus it replaces AOSP Clock, Dialer, Messages, and Contacts with Google's versions). Me, I just use the core package and add the apps that I want, for maximum flexibility.

I do not think opengapps is completely dead. There is some activity on their github https://github.com/opengapps.

If that is not their github repository, then opengapps is probably dead.

It looks like their official repo. But even if they come back, they're so far behind that they'll essentially be playing catch-up.

Yeah they will have to do lot work to catch up but if they still want to continue the project they will do it.

I believe they can do it if they want to because Poweramp was not updated for a long time and then it was updated by dev who is committed to developing the app.
