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

[curiousrom]

Just want to share my experience for flashing GAPPS on device: Sweet (Redmi Note 10 Pro)

After flashing latest ArrowOS 12.1,
1. I flashed Magisk, rooted, all working, rebooted back into TWRP
2. I flashed MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439.zip

You got it all wrong.

You need to install the custom ROM + the GApps package in one go without rebooting to system in between so it gets granted some privilege permissions and required hooks.

You can install Magisk later at any time so keep the first boot simple by eliminating that variable.

Check the thread where you found that ROM for installation tips & recommended recovery version.

Note that on A/B partitions devices you need to reboot to recovery to change the active slot after flashing the ROM & before flashing the Gapps package.

Hi boys&Girls....... i have a question about the current OpenGapps and the custom installation.
Try to explain.
MY phone it's a Samsung Note 4 SM-N910F and it's currently flashed the current LOS 18.1.
This is developed and it's maintain upgraded about every month and usually i install the last upgrade every two or three months when the newest build it's be released (it's be developed here -> https://t.me/triplr_dev_users)

My question it's.... usually i made a Dirty Flash over my Phone like this:
1) Reboot to TWRP
2) Wipe "Cache", "Dalvik" and "System" partition
3) After that in order flash -> ROM -> Gapps -> and Magisk

Apparently every time it's ok..... but my question it's different about GAPPS.
Usually i ever used the NANO Package...... it's ok and it's a good solution to my daily usage but recently i have read a news about Google as Finally decided to "ENABLED" his built-in SPAM FILTER DATABASE to italy.

For made this works correctly, if i corrent understand, i need to INSTALL three Google Apps.
- Google Phone
- Google Contacts
and finally the:
- Dialer Framework

It's ok ? All it's correct ?
I have reach this wiki page:

Package Comparison · opengapps/opengapps Wiki

The main repository of the Open GApps Project. Contribute to opengapps/opengapps development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

I can look:
The "Dialer Framework" it's installed by Default on ALL Package.. ok for me. The other apps "Google Phone" and "Google Contacts" the very first package contain this two app it's the "STOCK" Package.

My question it's......... if i want to continue to use the "NANO" Package....... i can made a custom install and include also this two addictional apps ?
Or i need to download the "STOCK" package and after that made a custom installation for disable what i don't need like "NANO Package" but leave active the two apps "Google Phone" and "Google Contacts" ?

how does it work ? is it possible to do something like this ?


P.S. Sorry for my BAD English........ a lot of usage of Google translate service

You can use a config file to downsize the install.

Advanced Features and Options
OpenGApps - [GitHub] [ Wiki ] - Link

Since Google Contacts and Google Phone are first available in the stock package, you will have to use the stock package with your config file.

I attached the config script I use, (last adjusted to use with WiFi tablets running LineageOS) for reference.
I use the Include option but, that is just my preference.

I use the stock package since I install Google Keyboard and do not installing the AA stub since it is useless on a WiFi tablet.
I also remove the pre-installed apps that I do not use.​

Cheers.

MAKE SURE YOU SET A PIN!


==============================


INSTALLED SUCCESSFULLY.


App: open_gapps-arm64-12L-nano-20220311-UNOFFICIAL_MOD

Device: SONY XPERIA 10PLUS

Issue: Looping at Google Setup Wizard.

Fix: Setting a PIN

OTHERWISE (I BELEIVE) THE SETUP WIZARD ENCOUNTERS PERMISSION ERRORS

THIS FIX WAS INSPIRED BY THE 8-9 DAYS I SPENT TRYING TO GET CYANOGEN (SHOWIBNG MY AGE HERE) TO WORK ON SOME CHINESE IMPORT WIERD SMARTPHONE (IT WAS A COPY OF A htc SO USED THAT VERSION AND WALAAA BAYBEEEE!, BEASTY PHONE AS WELL, FIRST DUAL SIM DEVICE I EVER SAW! .. OH THE GOOD OLD DAYS.. OH YOUUU! <3 ) SO YH, 8 DAYS SPENT TRYING TO GET CYANOGENMOD INSTALLED TO REALISE AFTER TRYING 10x10x10x10x10x10x10x10 DIFFERENT WAYS TO FINALLY DISCOVER THAT SETTING A PIN WORKED AND WAS MOST LIKELY A PERMISSION ERROR (SELinux IS A NIGHTMARE)

mmmmmmmmm... ok..... at this point i thinks only to made some test..... for example i can try to pick stock and disable all addictional package to obtain the nano package + google phone and google contacts.

If i understand correctly it's the only two addictional apps to test if the built-in call spam filter it's really works also in italy



*EDIT*
Edit my personal gapps-config.txt.
In theory i have download the stock package............... and i need to put that files on same path of zip files correct ?

I use "include" maintain include the PICO and NANO Gapps variant........ commented out all other gapps and include on "ContactsGoogle" and "DialerGoogle".

You thinks it's ok ?

I really hoped there would be a v12 release before the end of the year

So Lineage OS 20 is officially out today!!! Will Pico builds for Lineage 19.1 also work for 20?

I installed microg on my poco f1 (using PixelExperience 12 plus) and it wrecked my google apps. I manage to uninstall the microg on magisk while almost all my apps are crashing. And now my playstore's not working. I tried uninstalling and installing a new apk from ApkMirror. But it's still not working. Other google related apps seems fine.

Any idea if flashing gapps on phone could work? Or any other way to fix this? Thanks

You don't flash any kind of gapps on PE[+]. Dirty flash PE+ again and hopefully that should clean it up also clear dalvik and cache.

Flashing a gapps pack over an existing one is clearly useless and damageable
Dirty flash your rom and prey

PE has preinstalled gapps.

OpenGApps aren't the only ones out there that release GApps packages. Google is your friend (sometimes).

Just search for "gapps android 12", you will find links to others that make these packages. And it doesn't matter if you're running 12 or not.

Very Rude, Gapps is the only one who works in my Phone who is kinda outdated.
Yes i know how to search, i'm ok with it but some other who is new could be scared or intimidated you know. Be more polite.

Edit: NikApps released a version, gonna try it.

Wow...umm...OK. If you really think I was rude, then feel free to report it to a mod/admin. I'm sure they'll disagree with you.

It's weird how you can post with no intention whatsoever of being rude, but yet there are people out there that will misinterpret you, no matter what. There's plenty of times in the past when I was a prick to others, but in those cases, it was my intent to do so.

I've got no insider news updates, but hoping everyone is safe and well, and hoping to see some new official builds sometime this year.

OpenGapps always seems to be a major Android version behind. And now they are 2 versions behind (12 and 13). On top of that there haven't been any releases since early 2022. I'm not convinced they will ever catch up.

Things like that happen when your team is reduced to essentially one person.

Which is why it's better for the "team" to just scrap the project and archive the files, if they get more than a few Android releases behind. For me personally, 3 would be the point I call it quits. And 14 is coming soon. If they can't keep up, then the project is no longer relevant, at least not to people running the most recent Android versions.

Or you could just move on to a different GApps package and stop worrying about (or worse, giving unsolicited "advice" to) the OpenGapps team. If OpenGapps eventually dies, it dies, but until then, let's just wait and see what happens.
