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

[dwardo]

Hello,

I'm running LineageOS 17.1 on my Nexus 6 and my OnePlus 6T with OpenGapps (nano variant).

After a recent upgrade of both LineageOS build (2021 02 17) and OpenGapps 10 nano (2021 02 13) on my OnePlus 6T my Android Auto (6.1.610534) started not being happy ("no app compatible with USB device") when connecting to my car head unit (Rlink2)

My Nexus 6 with Lineageos build from 2021 02 06 and OpenGapps 10 nano from 2021 02 06 was still working flawlessly with Android Auto (6.0.615343) and my car head unit...

So I did a few tests on Nexus 6 to figure what was the cause : the LineageOS upgrades or OpenGapps Upgrades

	Open Gapps 10 nano 202102 06	OpenGapps 10 nano 2021 02 17
LineageOS 17.1 build 2021 02 06	OK	Problem
LineageOS 17.1 build 2021 02 17	OK	Problem

This clearly suggested OpenGapps was the culprit and was confirmed by downgrading my OnePlus 6T to OpenGapps build 2021 02 06 which also solved its Android Auto issue.

So something is not OK in OpenGapps 10 nano builds 2021 02 13 to 2021 02 17... and maybe ealier as I haven't tested builds 2021 02 07 to 2021 02 12...
Anything <= 2021 02 06 works.

I can do tests if it can help narrow things down...


UPDATE:
Issue still present in openGapps 10 nano 2021 04 14

Hello, Nexus 6 latest LOS 17.1 here.
Since a few OpenGapps releases, Photos and Google news crash on startup. I'm using stock version of Gapps. Anyone with the same issue?

Hello.
I am trying to use latest test version of GApps for Android 11 (HavocOS 4.2 ROM for Xiaomi Mi 9), and I encountered a problem.

Data migration from cloud is not working, since seemingly now Backup and Restore tool requires Data Transfer Tool (pixelmigrate), which is not installed:

03-05 14:51:57.808 8095 8095 E AndroidRuntime: FATAL EXCEPTION: main
03-05 14:51:57.808 8095 8095 E AndroidRuntime: Process: com.google.android.apps.restore, PID: 8095
03-05 14:51:57.808 8095 8095 E AndroidRuntime: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.google.android.apps.pixelmigrate.ACTION_D2D_MIGRATE_FLOW (has extras) }

I managed to circumvent it by manually extracting AndroidMigratePrebuilt.apk from GApps package, installing it, granting it all possible permissions from GUI and also granting android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS manually via adb.

But I really hope it will be fixed in future releases.

Hi, Nokia PL2, Lineage 18.1 (0308) and opengapps 0130 nano. After adding an account, no calendar or contacts sync is available. With google calendar app added, calendar sync is available, contacts won't sync even with google contacts installed. (google contacts asks to configure an account)

Edit: installed pico opengapps (0130) and contacts sync. Looks like there is an issue with the nano packaging.

Yes, I'm seeing the same thing on both arm and arm64 builds for 10.0. I'm rolling back to see if I can determine the last known good build.

UPDATE: I rolled all the way back to the 20210130 build and was still seeing the problem with Google News, but Google Photo was fine in the 20210311 build. I think I'm just going to stick with the 20210311 build and manually replace the Newsstand folder.

BTW, the problem seems to be a missing resource (Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f08038a).

UPDATE 2: Glad to see a 20210324 build today, and Google Photo is working again! Google News, however, still crashes on launch and only works for me when Newsstand is replaced with version 5.29.0.21022310.

Why is Gallery Go not included in Aroma Installer? At least I can't seem to find it there. I can see Google photos is available.

No "Go" variant of apps are included.

No "Go" variant of apps are included.

Such as?...

I want to install Gallery Go though. As a system app, not from the Play Store.

Such as Gmail Go, Google Maps Go, Google Camera Go, Youtube Go, Google Dialer Go*, GBoard Go*, etc.

*(Lite version shipped on Android Go devices, the app label doesn't show the "Go").

Okay. I'll go kick some rocks now.

The only option is to copy it manually into system.

I've tried that, with TWRP and X-plore. It crashes when launching. Apparently that's an Android 10 thing. Some apps work with this method, most don't.

On the latest versions of opengapps, it is impossible to configure Google Assistant, it crashes when connecting to it, the last working version of this assistant was 2020.04.22

It's because the apk contains compressed "native libs".
Two options:
1. Repack the apk with the libs uncompressed.
2. Extarct the libs to the same folder as the apk, example for 64bit:
/GalleryGo/lib/arm64/lib_file_1.so

Okay, so option 1 I'm unsure how to proceed.
Option 2: I copied the files from a ROM which had it installed and running perfectly on the System partition, it has the lib folder inside. See image below:

It didn't work. Unless I did something wrong. I'm running LineageOS 17.1 on a Galaxy Note 5.

 

[oidicle]

Nevermind, I did it!

I first installed it via the Play Store and then copied the APK's folder containing the lib and oat folders, then moved it to System/App, using X-plore. Take a look.

Everything's fine now. Now, should I ever need to do a factory reset, I won't have to worry about these apps (Gallery Go and Nova Launcher) being deleted.

Thanks a lot.

Has open gapps 11 been discontinued?. Just asking so I know to look for alternatives since last update was end of January.

No need for dramatic statements, just follow along on the Android 11 PR on Open GApps' GitHub - here's the latest information there: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/pull/885#issuecomment-801995997

I was just curious on status of 11 builds and certainly didn't intend my wording to be taken as any kind of statement. Thanks for the link.

I rarely update my Gapps packages unless there's something specific that's broken and needs fixing.
I've had absolutely no problems with 210130 so my next update will be the release version and that will be it for me until Android 12.
Note: I use the Pico package and install the apps I use from the Play Store.
