LP-GAPPS with Slim GApps as base (last update: May, 25 2015)[discontinued]:

about%20btn.png


LP-GAPPS is an AROMA installer based on Slim GApps.
This package should work fine on any device running any AOSP based ROM (Android 5.0/5.1).

I'm trying to keep LP-GAPPS up-to-date with Slim GApps sources, which means I will push updates regularly.


BIG, BIG thanks to Slim Team for their GApps!

changelog%20btn.png

Changes to be added in next update:
-
May, 25 2015
Common changes(for both 5.0&5.1 packages):
  • Latest Slim GApps
  • The packages will save the selections in different files (the 5.0 save can't be restored to 5.1 or vice versa)
Changes only for 5.0 package:
  • -

  • -

May, 15 2015
Common changes(for both 5.0&5.1 packages):
  • Latest Slim GApps
  • The MULTI-DPI was excluded form both packages 5.0 & 5.1 and is delivered in a separate addon. The addons are included in packages so you can flash them if you want. The MULTI-DPI in 5.1 may cause instability! On 5.0 it works fine. You only need MULTI-DPI package if you are using a custom DPI.
  • Now you can save/load selections. This is very useful if you flash LP-GAPPS often.

Changes only for 5.0 package:
  • -
Changes only for 5.1 package:
  • Slim GApps update: remove multi-dpi
    -separate flashable add-on package will be offered for multi-dpi
    capability. the reason for this removal is that dirty
    hacks to several core google services were necessary for
    multi-dpi, and were causing too much instability. so,
    instead of being forced on everyone, those who choose to
    use the hacked versions of GoogleServicesFramework, Phonesky,
    and PrebuiltGmsCore will be able to flash the separate
    add-on package. ( https://github.com/dankoman30/slimlp_gapps/commit/7a11b7582aed25064577ba9d5f98106379dcb6c1 )

FAQ
  • I'm using CWM/Philz and the AROMA Installer screen is overlaid with CWM/Philz screen. Why?
    AROMA Installer may have this graphical issue on CWM/Philz, that's why I recommend using TWRP instead of CWM/Philz.

  • After I make the selections in AROMA and proceed to the installation process, suddenly AROMA closes. Why?
    There is a bug which is triggered somehow by the update-binary and causes AROMA to close sometimes, the only solution is to flash the package again.
  • When I try to flash LP-GAPPS in TWRP, AROMA Installer doesn't start/AROMA Installer freezes. Why?
    AROMA Installer doesn't work perfectly on any TWRP version. If you have issues, just try a newer or older version of TWRP for your device.
  • I face ForceClose(FC) to Google Apps. Why?
    Please report any GApps issue in the main Open GApps thread!
  • I tried older/newer TWRP and nothing seems to make AROMA work.
    AROMA is really old and outdated. If your recovery can't run AROMA, I recommend to use the other Open GApps packages.

Hope you can continue your work with an own base. Don't see it as a problem that pa gapps disappeared, but as a chance. GAPPS package with an Aroma installer is by far more elegant than several different zip files.

Looks like a great project! Unfortunately it will not open on my OnePlus One. TWRP freezes at "(c) 2013 amarullz xda-developers". Is there a fix? Many thanks! :)

Both versions are freezing at the same place on my One Plus One with clean install of latest firmware, Sabermod kernel and Blisspop rom.

For me it works perfect, both packages(with Slim GApps or PA GAPPS) with no freeze on LG G2, and also for @sinisterrook works the package with PA GAPPS. This makes me think that the issue maybe it's specific on some devices or specific on some custom recoveries. Did you successfully used any AROMA Installer package(not only LP-GAPPS, I mean any other zip package which uses AROMA Installer) on the same version of custom recovery as now?

Hmm.. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=59693165&postcount=927

And thanks for feedback guys ! :D..I really appreciate it.

    Common changes(for both 5.0&5.1 packages):
    • Latest Slim GApps
    • The MULTI-DPI was excluded form both packages 5.0 & 5.1 and is delivered in a separate addon. The addons are included in packages so you can flash them if you want. The MULTI-DPI in 5.1 may cause instability! On 5.0 it works fine. You only need MULTI-DPI package if you are using a custom DPI.
    • Now you can save/load selections. This is very useful if you flash LP-GAPPS often.

    Changes only for 5.1 package:
    • Slim GApps update: remove multi-dpi
      -separate flashable add-on package will be offered for multi-dpi
      capability. the reason for this removal is that dirty
      hacks to several core google services were necessary for
      multi-dpi, and were causing too much instability. so,
      instead of being forced on everyone, those who choose to
      use the hacked versions of GoogleServicesFramework, Phonesky,
      and PrebuiltGmsCore will be able to flash the separate
      add-on package. ( https://github.com/dankoman30/slimlp_gapps/commit/7a11b7582aed25064577ba9d5f98106379dcb6c1 )
      *this script will be available in SlimLP GApps thread, so visit their thread to get the add-on*

    FAQ
    • I'm using CWM/Philz and the AROMA Installer screen is overlaid with CWM/Philz screen. Why?
      AROMA Installer may have this graphical issue on CWM/Philz, that's why I recommend using TWRP instead of CWM/Philz.

    • After I make the selections in AROMA and proceed to the installation process, suddenly AROMA closes. Why?
      There is a bug which is triggered somehow by the update-binary and causes AROMA to close sometimes, the only solution is to flash the package again.
    • When I try to flash LP-GAPPS in TWRP, AROMA Installer doesn't start/AROMA Installer freezes. Why?
      AROMA Installer doesn't work perfectly on any TWRP version. If you have issues, just try a newer or older version of TWRP for your device.
    • I face ForceClose(FC) to Google Apps. Why?
      Please report any GApps issue in the main Open GApps thread!
    • I tried older/newer TWRP and nothing seems to make AROMA work.
      AROMA is really old and outdated. If your recovery can't run AROMA, I recommend to use the other Open GApps packages.

    Good news!
    I found a new base, which @akanealw recommended. This one. So if things works well, LP-GAPPS may have soon packages for 4.4, 5.0 and 5.1.

    Also as you may know, official PA GApps(TK GApps) is back! I will do an "AROMA PA GApps Customizer" which will generate an gapps-config based on user's preferences and it will work with the TK GApps package and also with almost all PA GApps based packages! More about the gapps-config you can read here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60944096&postcount=4

    I will put some effort to finish these project as soon as I can, so I could study for my exams.

    Thanks for your patience!
    I'm working on the new update. I will post some test builds in less than a hour(I hope). I still have some things to fix... if I don't fix these things today, I will post the test builds only tomorrow.

    What's new:
    - latest slim gapps
    - aroma save/load selections improved
    - modified way to remove old gapps (the removal is done using the updater script from the previously installed package, if no updater script is present then no removal for old gapps is done)
    - slim gapps also removed the multi-dpi from stock package..so I added an option to flash the multi-dpi addons right from AROMA ( for both 5.0 & 5.1 )... the multi-dpi for 5.0 is stable! for 5.1 the multi-dpi may cause instability

    Edit: Only tomorrow I will post the test builds.
