[Q&A] TK GApps - Help and Discussion Thread

[[email protected]]

It does matter, because e.g. claiming something in the title that isn't valid (anymore) is misleading IMHO some (less experienced) users. And apps on system claim less space and provide faster boot than those on the data partition.
And actually there are packages that do an updated build every time the tiniest update is pushed, like opengapps.org that do daily releases and Slim is pushing also an update at least once a week. But those don't claim to be up-to-date, but they actually are compared to TK now.

I am not unhappy or unsatisfied with the speed of updates. But I am thinking about helping out fellow new users.

Are you moderator?

Are you moderator?

That's a valid suggestion. I've gone ahead and clearly indicated that this package is presently on hiatus. No ETAs of course, since really I know about as much as everyone else at this point, but @TKruzze has been spending some much needed time with his family and evaluating different options for Marshmallow going forward.

In the meantime, my GApps Auto-Integration script (AKA gappsintegrator) will take any GApps package and continue to automatically integrate newer updates you receive from the Play Store. It works flawlessly on KitKat and Jelly Bean and I've had good reports on AOSP Lollipop along with my own testing, so that's a nice hands-free, set-and-forget option people could check out to get the "GApps fix" monkey off their backs once and for all.

It's things like this that make devs NOT update their work. If TKruzze went on hiatus, it's for a reason. This isn't his job. He doesn't have to push out updates. Especially at this time of year, this is his time to be with them. This is a hobby. Hopefully, everything is okay with TKruzze and his family.

Even though this project is currently on hiatus, please be respectful of the usual thread conduct and don't link to other GApps packages. I definitely appreciate your support in the linked post, but please no links in the future. Thanks for understanding.

I am sorry if I am asking the obvious, but how do I use the gappsintegrator script. I copied it into /system/etc/init.d changed permissions, removed the .txt extension and rebooted, but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

Check /sdcard for a log. If there isn't one then there's something wrong with init.d on your ROM. Try su.d instead. See both linked posts about gappsintegrator in my Odds and Ends thread OP and please post there if you have any further trouble since it is also off topic for here.

Hail!
After performing the upgrade to the 12.1 CM, I used TK gapps.

I have a problem in the download rate of the play store, usually is no more than 10 kbps
someone is with this bug?

Instructions for .gapps_config placement weren't crystal clear to me, does it go in the same folder as the flashable zip or in the zip?
If it goes in the same folder rather than in the zip itself (like \folder\.gapps_config and \folder\gapps.zip), will it still work when sideloading in TWRP?

INTRODUCTION
To modify the default behavior of the GApps installer, create a text file called .gapps-config or gapps-config.txt (.gapps-config will take precedence) and place it in the same folder as the GApps zip or in /sdcard/TK-GApps. Additionally, if your device has a Persist partition, you may place the file there as well. Note that the zip folder, followed by /sdcard/TK-GApps will be checked first. Once you've created the gapps-config file, simply type in the Key Word options you want from the lists below.

Same folder.

Not sure on the sideload procedure. Sdcard / usb-otg to flash from may be safer bet.

Yes, I read that, and was still unsure. It seems odd to me to put it in the same folder instead of in the zip itself.

Anywho, I solved the problem I needed the gapps for and made a backup, so I guess I'll test using sideload with the text file tonight when I'm at my home pc and post results here so we all know for sure.

Haha, and the opposite would seem odd to me.
I like the fact that I can download a platform-GApps package once and drop it on multiple devices, where it behaves differently/unique on each. This in-zip procedure would take a lot more work, even if only used for a single one, as you would have to modify it each and every time you want to apply latest GApps.
Not sure if they are signed (I'dexpect that), but if so, it would also break that.

1: That link is broken.
2: This is the wrong place to ask that, as it is a question pertaining to your launcher, not this Gapps package.
3: It's probably in your launcher's settings somewhere. If not, get a different launcher.

Gapps contains Google Launcher so i think it's directly this topic.

3: It's probably in your launcher's settings somewhere. If not, get a different launcher.

As i made a research Google Launcher should got this options like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnraO73SQgQ but it does not have one so there is my questions.

That's a CM12.1 Launcher video, not Google Now Launcher.

I can do paged view in Nova
