@MastahF Is there any chance of including Google Connectivity Services in one of the packages? Project Fi wants to see GCS as a system app. I know Fi users are probably a pretty small percentage of the general community, but thought I'd inquire anyway. Thanks.

Hi, I am very interested in your findings about GCS requiring to be on /system/.
Could you post your results/findings and arguments in this issue: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/issues/5
Then we can discuss the technical details about this and decide if we can include it in some way

Just posted the same to github. Speak to you there. :good:

Hello!

Sorry for the delay, I've been on vacations.

It sounds like really weird behaviour, if pico flashes fine, and stock doesn't and you are sure that the downloaded ZIP file is not corrupt, and you get that error, best would be to approach the TWRP maintainer of your device.

I haven't contacted the TWRP maintainer, but I switched to CWM and I've been able to flash the stock ZIP with its config file flawlessly.

I was happy after flashing and disabling your updater (see the screenshot).

To get the name to be used by the universal remover: use a file-manager on your Android devices, navigate to /system/app (or sometimes /system/priv-app) and look at the foldername that the APK you'd like to remove resides in. Use this foldername as the keyword between the ( and ).

OK, thank you!

Here is log and log file. http://fehead.linuxstudy.pe.kr/open_gapps_debug_logs.tar.gz

I check the log and our recovery is (next to being officially unsupported) seriously outdated. Which is very probably the reason why the 'tar' command in you recovery is broken, because when the scripts call 'tar' it always receies the error

Code:

tar: short read
Illegal instruction

which results in not being able to extract the data from the compressed archives.

So please update your recovery, preferably to TWRP, and next time please read article #1 in the FAQ ( https://github.com/opengapps/openga...re-open-gapps-related-what-can-i-do-to-fix-it ) because it resolves 99% of the problems.

Installation Failed

Hi, I really appreciate to have open gapps website, because it updates everyday. When I tried to update my cm 12.1 nightly on my moto e, the gapps installation failed. It says error code 70, and I don't know what to do. I haven't update my gapps for like 2 months, so I really need help. Thank You

Error 70 means that there is not enough space on /system/. Take look at the installation log to see the diskspace calculations.
You can use a gapps-config file to exclude some applications from installing on /system/ to reduce the installation size. Check the wiki (and the forums) for details how to do this: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options#the-gapps-config-file

Question from a new OnePlus One owner who hadn't played around with custom ROMs only other devices (because I'm paranoid about violating the warranty on everything else but OnePlus put a more flexible warranty in place). Any time I've tried installing GApps on a custom ROM so far (I've tried Sultan's CM12.1 and Exodus), Hangouts wouldn't work properly. It would handle SMS fine, but it would never receive new messages from Hangouts/GChat. Installing a more bare version of GApps when I flashed and then installing Hangouts from the Google Play Store instead worked fine.

Is there any kind of known issue here? A fix I should be aware of so I can just make life easier and install a full GApps package the next time I need to?

Thanks!

Hi, didn't hear of this issue before. But the issue would probably be in the ROM or within the Hangouts app itself, that doesn't play nice when it is installed on /system/.
What you maybe could try do is running a logcat when sending an SMS to yourself when having Hangouts installed via the GApps package, and try to see if we can catch any errors that are occuring. That could point in a direction to solve the problem.

LibAroma has known issues, because it is old and we are still waiting for a new version of it. You can try another TWRP version, sometimes up/downgrading helps. If it doesn't resolve the issue, you'll have to wait until the new libaroma is released and use a manual created gapps-config for now.

Hi Mastahf,
I have a problem on stock browser and webview of which the apps conflicted to each other, so I removed these apps from CM-12.1-sagaopt when open-gapps-pico.zip was istalled by gapps-conifg. Then I have introduced a problem on adding google account to my system on google play service has topped working: I am wondering how should I get google webview addon to install to the system in addition to the gapps. I know that I could solve this problem by install some other gapps, but I love open gapps as it is daily updated.
Before asking you, I have tried several ways to solve my problem such as using apk file install via adb by PC, using TWRP terminal emulater without success. I forget to tell you that I also removed stock file manager as well. Thank you very much.

You could try flashing the "stock" package with a gapps-config file using the "Include" directive, as described in https://github.com/opengapps/openga...tions#include-and-exclude-google-applications, and use it to include WebviewGoogle. I know it is a much larger download then pico, but the only practical solution at the moment if you want Google's Webview on your /system/ partition.

Thanks MasyahF for your prompt reply. I used to flash Stock Gapps using exclude/include function as well, but the file size is rather big which consumes long downloading time. So I shall have to install either google-webview or file manager after flashing barebone ROM the first boot up and then flashed Pico gapps later. Thank you very much for your advice.

I reported this issue a while back but never got an answer. It cropped up during the last major interface update to Hangouts. I managed to work around it by logging out of Hangouts and logging back in. That said, it does not occur on the same ROM with another Gapps package that includes Hangouts...

After updating gapps I get this during every boot:

Code:

Android is upgrading...
-----------------------
Optimizing app 1 of 20.

Usually this message appears when updating or after wiping the dalvik cache.

I updated from open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20150830 to open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20151008.

Switching back to the old one, the error disappears.

Before understanding that it was gapps I wiped all caches and installed the ROM again.

Device is GT-I8160 with AOSP 4.4.4 J-TEAM.

Any clues?

@MastahF : sorry I didn't see I can post here, btw it keeps doing it at every boot, I didn't touch anymore the dalvik cache and the old gapps are ok

Could you attach the debug log of the installation? Also, if possible, could try to get a logcat of the bootprocess?

i-cuz · Oct 10, 2015

Here the logs, I'm not home until tuesday and I can't do a logcat

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 PM ----------

I don't see anything useful in the logs but I have no idea about how the installation process works

I was reading some things around the web and I think it could be something about permissions

There are already some x86_64 roms for the Asus Zenfone 2 available. Will you release x86_64 Gapps soon?

Apache0c · Oct 12, 2015

Any idea why I'm getting stuck with the Google camera even when I opted out of it in the Open Gapps Aroma install?
