open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200123.zip can not boot into system on my xiaomi mi5(omni 9)
Hi. Yes, indeed, that is a problem for us. It's unfortunate that folks at TWRP decided to change this behavior again (I believe it's the third time they do this), and since we relied on this variable, it seems that we can't anymore.Hi,
I just tried installing the 1/16 Android 10 Pico BETA GApps to my HTC One M9 running LineageOS 17.1, and I get an incompatible error. I'm using a test version of TWRP from @Captain_Throwback that I'm told "no longer sets ANDROID_ROOT to /system_root" and that's likely the problem? I'm attaching the recovery log from TWRP for reference. Is there any way for me to install the zip?

Flashing Arm 22 Jan cause bootloop on kccat6 Samsung S5 lineeage22 Jan release.
Same lineage 22 Jan with gapps Arm Jan 17 no problem.
Same for me with open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200123 on Xiaomi A1 (tissot) lineage-16.0-20200122-nightly-tissot-signed build. Bootloop saying I need to factory reset.
Also used open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200117 instead and it booted fine.

Guys, how did you flash Open GApps? By sideloading or copying to the device & flashing from there with a Recovery?What are the exact names of the LineageOS & Open GApps files that you flashed & failed to boot please?

Do any of you still have the open_gapps_debug_logs.tar.gz from the failed install?
@Nezorflame - 2 other LineageOS users reported failed to boot with Open GApps Android 9.0 builds 2020-01-22 & 23 here in the LineageOS subreddit.
There are very few commits in https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/commits/master made on Jan 21, 2020.
Could the fail to boot problem be related to @ipdev's Copy logs to sdcard/ when using sideload commit?
***
When using adb sideload, log files are not saved.
(/sideload is RO) {note by me: RO stands for Read Only}
If you use a gapps-config file, the logs will be saved in the same directory as the config file.
If you do not use a config file, then the log files are copied to /sideload and disappear.
For now, copying the logs to /sdcard when /sideload is detected seems to work.
From Pull request - Copy logs to sdcard/ when using sideload #794:
So starting with build 2020-01-22 or newer, if you sideload the logs should be in the internal sdcard or /data/media/0/.
If you copy or move the open_gapps...zip to the device & flash from there using the recovery the Open GApps installation log will be created in the same directory as the open_gapps...zip.
***
@Nezorflame - Why not simplify for users & the Wiki and always save the logs to /data/media/0/?

I have had users reporting that if they choose to install the TWRP app (prompted before reboot to system) that they get a boot loop when installing opengapps.
Are you buy any chance doing that?
My advice is, you don't need the TWRP app so don't install it.

I flashed by copying open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200123.zip to the device then flashing from TWRP (which I've been doing since the first release of official Lineage for the Mi A1 without issue). Unfortunately I don't have a log as it's my daily driver and I needed to get it back up.
Just to clarify, OpenGapps appeared to flash without issue at all - it was when booting I had the issue: the Lineage boot animation would just loop and loop for a few minutes before it rebooted back into Lineage recovery (each flash overwrites TWRP and I wait until a successful first boot before reflashing it) saying there was a problem with my device and I needed to factory reset. This was with lineage-16.0-20200122-nightly-tissot-signed. The same thing happened with official Lineage builds from 17th, 18th, 20th and 21st as well (initially I thought it was a Lineage issue so I tried rolling back for a few versions before coming here and realising others seemed to be having issues with Gapps).
Once I used an older version of OpenGapps (open_gapps-arm64-9.0-nano-20200117) instead, it was fine.
The bootloop some of you are seeing seems to be an issue with recent Opengapps when one has the TWRP app installed - see opengapps forum: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071/page648
I was trying to flash my OnePlus One with LineageOS 16.0(lineage-16.0-20200123-nightly-bacon-signed) and it seems the prebuilt opengapps(20200124) prevent the OS from ever booting. It gets stuck in the boot animation for 10 minutes then reboots into TWRP again (v3.3.1-0).
Everything is clean, freshly unlocked bootloader, wipe/format everything, clean sideload of both together as instructed by lineage. No TWRP app or anything else allowed. Tried micro and nano.
On January 18, I installed a bacon device with TWRP 3.1.1 (app not installed), reboot to recovery and then installed lineage 16 and nano gapps, both built on January 17 via TWRP, and everything worked fine.I was trying to flash my OnePlus One with LineageOS 16.0(lineage-16.0-20200123-nightly-bacon-signed) and it seems the prebuilt opengapps(20200124) prevent the OS from ever booting.

Please post logcat. Known issue but no logs from anyone.
Easiest way is to flash Lineage, boot, enable ADB from system and then flash opengapps and collect logcat from PC.

How do I post a logcat? I am using a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 T810. LinageOS 16. I'll do anything I can to help as I am not in dire need of my device to work at this time.
Just adding my 2 cents...
I got gapps installed by using an older version on my Oneplus 3T. I was installing via TWRP and did NOT let TWRP try to install its app afterwards. I simply flashed the ROM, flashed the old gapps, and finally was able to get into the OS.
I was using:
lineage-16.0-20200123-nightly-oneplus3-signed.zip
open_gapps-arm64-9.0-pico-20200117.zip
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.Is there anything new to say?
OpenGApps is still pretty dead atm, which is very sad...
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.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.

I run arm/arm64 builds of pico, nano and stock for testing.Is it possible to get a test version of the arm version aswell?
