[Android 13] [GApps] NikGApps [ARM64]

[GPSMapper]

I am having troubles with Nikgapps Full on top of LineageOS 19.1 builds -
Google device setup wizard (copy from old phone) stops working.
With mindthegaps there is no issue.

If I need to use a restore wiard from another android or google backup - should I use Omni at minimum (which includes Device setup wizard)?

You can try this

Flash NikGapps core and pixel setup wizard addon after flashing the rom.

Also, you can find which package contains what from here

OK, first of all, I just rooted and installed crDroid on my Poco F3 including NikGapps basic and it's all fantastic. Far faster, and seemingly more reliable than MIUI (especially for apps that need background connectivity and MIUI seems determined to kill in the name of battery).

However, I have one problem. Android Auto refuses to work because it wasn't "stock". Installing the Play store version doesn't cut it and it just won't connect to the car.

So, I came back to see about nikgapps.config changes and process to update, but I'm completely lost.

1. Looking at my nikgapps.config file, it already has an "=1" after AndroidAuto. However, unless I'm missing something, very little in that file reflects the install options of BASIC. Is there a model of "BASIC" that I can tweak simply to get Auto
2. I have no idea how to trigger an update if I do make changes. Do I simply go back into TWRP and re-install?
3. Finally, given I've set up the phone before discovering this, is it even possible for me to add Android Auto in a way that will allow me to use it with the car?

Thanks!

Ahh, I just dug more, noticed another folder with addons that included Auto. But it can't be installed "Dirty", So I guess I'm back to square one on re-installing crDroid and starting from there...?

On Android 11, Lineage 18.1. Installed NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20201231-signed. Seems like some apps (Gboard, YoutubeVanced) complain that the Google Play Store is missing. Did I miss something?

When I use the Gboard app and try to use the GIF keyboard, it gives a toast "Oh no something went wrong". In the logcat:

1-09 10:21:43.344 4086 18812 W ShareContentUtils: ShareContentUtils.getUriForExistingFileOrAbsent():88 Couldn't get content URI for file /data/data/com.android.inputmethod.latin/files/share_content/tenor_gif/tenor_gif7272035248336528468.gif

01-09 10:21:43.356 4086 4790 W GooglePlayServicesUtil: com.android.inputmethod.latin requires the Google Play Store, but it is missing.

Also when I install YoutubeVanced root version, it also complains that the Google Play Store is missing. Not sure if other apps are affected.

Is this an known issue? Tried searching the thread for missing Google Play Store, but nothing showed up.

Hey! Did you ever found a solution to this?

Yes, i'm afraid
Same problem for me, i had to start again from scratch, because Auto (and Voice Match, in my case) needs to be flashed "clean" right after the rom

Full package cannot add on pixel launcher?

 

[jnsson]

If I set gms_optimization to =1 is that the setting for Doze on or off? Or what does the gms_optimization=1 do?

Running LineageOS 18.1 (20220926) on oneplus3 (3T). Installed Nikgapps full package for Android 11 (R), build 20220908.
The sole reason I chose the Full package was because of Android Auto. After flashing Nikgapps, no Android Auto. So went ahead and installed it from Play Store, only to get error 22 when connected to the car's USB port.
Then I realized Nikgapps had an addon meant to install Android Auto. I downloaded the matching version of the Android Auto addon (20220908), but when I tried to flash it I got an Error 1, and the following message:

"Cannot flash AndroidAuto now as you will run into issues! Wipe /data if you still want to install it. You must always flash AndroidAuto before booting into Rom!"

I understand Android Auto's error 22 has to do with the fact it needs to be installed on /system. I just don't understand why I need to wipe /data just to flash Android Auto. Am I missing something, or this is a limitation? Thanks!

Which NikGapps variant did you flash? You're supposed to flash NikGapps core + Pixel Setup Wizard (or Google Setup Wizard) addon. In order to get the backup/restore feature.

Also flash everything before first boot.

Did you flash it on top of gsi?

Otherwise Android auto may crash at some point and will not function properly. Same is the case with Google clock/GBoard.

Hi Nik,

Just an update by carrying out your suggestion it does then allow the transfer to be done. There are a couple of things that are not 100% working. When configuring the wifi it will not allow you to set a static IP address and DNS servers for some reason. The second issue is Trebuchet keeps stopping I have cleared the cache and data and rebooted but it still crashes. I am now in the process of copying from the original device to see if this works.

Having copied the data from my original phone the system still crashes with Trebuchet. Closing the app blanks the screen and I can not do anything more with the system. That was with a fresh build of Lineageos 20.1, the Core and Pixel Setup.

The files used are:
twrp-3.7.0_9-0-greatlte.img
lineage-20.0-20221004-UNOFFICIAL-greatlte.zip
NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20220908-signed.zip
NikGapps-Addon-13-PixelSetupWizard-20220908-signed.zip

I clean-flashed the full SL package on the same recovery session, after LineageOS 19.1 on my Xperia XZ2 phone. Pixel Launcher didn't show up. Only Trebuchet was there. Then, I dirty-flashed the Pixel Launcher addon. It overwrote Trebuchet, but it crashes all the time. Any advices?

Try flashing pixel launcher from pixelify magisk module till the time the issue is resolved. The issue is known for android 13, are you facing it on latest (dated) available addon?

Any chance you flashed Pixel Launcher too? Trebuchet is not supposed to crash with mere core + Pixel Setup Wizard addon.

WiFi not allowing you to set static ip might not be related to gapps, is it working when you don't flash gapps and use Los?

Hi Nik,

I only flashed the device with the files listed in my last post, I believe it does not include the Pixel Laucher. The static IP address can also not be set when just using LOS. It allows you to enter the information but when entering connect it returns to the connect screen. Once again if you enter the default setting without setting the static address it works.
