[Q&A] [GAPPS][2015-06-01] Open GApps for Android 5.1, 5.0, 4.4

[pythonimus]

Anyone else having issues with Google Assistant on Android 10? I can't set Voice Match, the download of voice models never works, i'm using nano Gapps with Lineage 17.

Edit: Sorry, I didn't saw that the issue was already know on the notes page, is there any temporary solution?

It also does not work for me I cannot activate the assistant as it is unable to connect to the internet. Wehere dit dou find that this is a known bug? I only found this list of bugs: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Notes-for-Android-10.x

Hi,

I've installed open-gapps stock which seems to have replaced trebuchet launcher from lineageOS. Is there a way to completely uninstall open-gapps or better to reinstall lineageOS image without user data factory reset? Just updating lineageOS seems not to restore trebuchet launcher. There is still only the not working Pixel Launcher available.

How can I fix this without having to reset all user data?

Thanks!
Best regards

The OpenGApps backup script will still run when you re-flash LineageOS.

You can delete the backup script before dirty flashing Lineage again.
/system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh

You can wipe system before flashing LineageOS again.
TWRP-> Wipe-> Advanced Wipe-> Select System, then Swipe to Wipe.

Think of it like a clean(ish) dirty flash.
Since system was erased, no backup scripts will exist or run.
Userdata will still exist so, apps and data will be the same.

Note:
Both options may cause problems.
If an app updated (the update would be in userdata) and the update is linked to something that is missing in system.
library files, permissions, shared dependency..

Good luck.

Cheers.

Thanks! That's a good hint!

Thanks! I've tried formating system partition and reflashed latest daily lineageos image as well as open-gapps-full.
Unfortunately I still had no trebuchet anymore and in whatsapp I couldn't see contact names anymore - only phone numbers.
I did some further tests (everytime with first formating system partition) and when I flash lineageos image without open-gapps I do have the trebuchet launcher. I added open-gapps-mini and it was replaced again by the pixel launcher! As far as I understand packages up to open-gapps-full should not replace any apps? Is this a bug?

Full package replace the stock launcher by pixel launcher.

Have a look https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison

And https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options

Good luck

Hi,

Is there a way to fix the lineageOS / gapps permission issue where you have to flash gapps before booting the ROM? Surely someone smarter than me can make a flashable "gapps-lineageos-permission-repair" script to fix permissions for any Google apps installed...

 

[sixisixsix]

Forgive my ignorance, but is it possible to flash opengapps nano on a stock Oxygen OS rom? Would it replace the apps I have?

No trace of OpenGApps on LineageOS 17 (walleye) on Pixel 2 after installation

Hello everybody out there using OpenGApps,

The installation of OpenGApps worked very well with my all my previous devices like a Moto G, a Nexus 5 or a Nexus 5X. Therefore, I hope that I understood the basic process of installing OpenGApps.

On my Google Pixel 2 (64 GB)
lineage-17.1-20201103-nightly-walleye-signed.zip or
lineage-17.1-20201124-nightly-walleye-signed.zip both work well.

Installing
open_gapps-arm64-10.0-nan••••••••o-20201121.zip or
open_gapps-arm64-10.0-pico-20201121.zip on either of the two LineageOS versions via

adb sideload

or

adb push

and installation with twrp-3.3.0-0-walleye.img (on Ubuntu 18.04) gives no error messages.

However, upon restart of the phone, there is no icon for the Google Play Store in the app menu. Since there are few icons in the fresh install, I don't think I overlooked it. Moreover, I also can't find it via search. Therefore my conclusion is that the install left no traces despite the lack of an obvious error message.

You can find the install log attached to my post.

Which additional diagnostics could I run or use to pin down the problem?

Hello, When are Android 11 OpenGapps planned?

 

[njascgil]

I have installed OpenGapps stock over LOS 17.1 and I noticed that Google Recorder apk was copied to /system/app, as expected, but it does not show up anywhere (no launcher icon, not on the Android apps list, nor on Total Uninstall, ...)
I can even install Google Recorder from the Play Store and Titanium Backup / Android Apps settings do not show the app as updated.

How can this be? I've never seen anything like this. Has this ever happened to anyone?...
Thanks

Hello,
Is this process could be applied to LOS 16 and replace GApps Stock by GApps pico without losing datas (apps,settings) ? Because reflash LOS 16 + pico lead to an infinte "home loading" process (like a loop during 30 min as far) without deleting /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh or doing a system wipe.

For the first way, find / -iname '*gapps*' doesn't return path for the
/system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh file EDIT: after mouting system I can find the file.

Thanks

Does anyone know when Gapps will be officially released for Android 11?

Hi Folks,

What's the situ with the GApps app itself... I've used it in the past, which was cool then when it worked. But see its hit a stumbling block, and not been updated in yonks...?? Has it been completely abandoned, is there a reason why not...??

Looking around, it seems the detection/suggestion method was hardcoded into the app, so limits it to 7.x (7.0 to be exact). And although it seems possible to add Dynamic detection, like on the website. It seems the source is closed off??

I know ya can just go to the website and download the appropriate zip. But this seemed like a nice app, and would be cool / handy, if could be updated to current builds.

Cheers, Lister
