OK. That is what I did originally. Then I tried flashing just the ROM, booting then flashing your gapps package. Also I tried a few other 6.xx.gapps. No joy...

Thanks.
Slim gapps work okay, no play services FC at least. Indeed, vrtoxin gapps cause persistent play services FC, and they don't include the initial setup wizard either. I'm excited about the future of the rom, but am seeing a few issues with FC in settings. Ambient display in display settings FC, and clock color options FC in the status bar section of vrtoxin settings. The entire security submenu in settings FC on attempted access, and the power menu items have text that is almost invisible on the default system color. Well worth trying alternate gapps, but you'll need to wipe and reinstall rom and gapps, installing an alternate gapps over top of vrtoxin gapps won't alleviate the playservices FC issue...

Yeah, came across most of those issues... haven't tried slim gapps though...

Cheers.

Thanks for the info...FWIW, I think this is a rom issue, not your gapps...
It's both! Google changed lots of internal stuff with GApps in M that is only in their proprietary source essentially forcing AOSP to not be able to use them.

We had to do changes on both sides to fix it including:
  • ROM Patch to give GApps the right permissions to run.
  • Changing the GApps to not extract the lib files otherwise their would now be duplicate sets of them

It affects all GApps (not just ours) but we are the first to find a working solution (even if not the most ideal).

Right, I understand that. But how come the gapps I'm using now [banks 6.xx on DU M ROM] work fine..I'm not having a go, just interested in how all this works...

Thanks.

Well, that's because all the GApps devs (Open, Banks, Deltadroid, etc. except TK) have been working together to figure this out. The reason ours are working later is because we do a lot more than the others (we were originally a continuation of PA/TK so we include every app Google does). Almost all the ROMs already had the permissions granted to Play services and the Store, but ours (and others like TK and Slim) need any app that's made by Google to have those permissions granted.

We also had to work on the lib extract part as M is the first release that requires APKs to remain with the libs NOT extracted. This is why even those others that do work (like Banks) may bug out occasionally (especially Setup Wizard).

This patch simply put makes all GApps work either at all or with less crashes so it's more like it's always been. Just flash and go!

(Just mentioning, Open also does more than most at the moment! We have scripts that anybody can use to build their own package, anybody can upload APKs to keep it up-to-date, they auto-build every time a new APK is released, we are the only to install the right DPI variant for every app (not just Play Services and Play Games), we are the first flashable package to implement xz compression (as all those DPI APKs make the normal ZIP around 1.5GB; with compression it's down to ~400MB), we are the only one still building for every version 4.4+, we are about to release the first Android TV package, and we are one of the rare few to support not only arm but also x86, arm64, and x86_64.)
