[Q] Gapps 20110307 - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What is changed in the 20110307 version of gapps? I am running 0120 so would i just flash the new zip over the old gapps with cwm?

I know at least Maps has been updated in that time, gmail probably, too. What about just going through the market and installing updates?

It also has a working carhome on gingerbread (if you guys didn't have one yet here) and google books. As far as I am aware, you can just go to recovery and flash it directly over what you have now as it just changes the gapps and doesn't touch the rom (worked that way on the eris). As long as you can find the apps on the market (car home wasn't showing up for a while) it should be the same file. As a matter of fact, google voice has been updated since the 3/7 release.

[Q] Having issues reverting gapps from 4.2 to 4.1 in CM10

Well, out of curiosity I had a go at some leaked 4.2 gapps. So now I'm headed back to 4.1 after trying to update Gmail and not being allowed to. I was running the 4.2 gapps on CM10... KDH_4.2_GAPPS_V2_DEO.zip, if you happened to have seen or downloaded the file:
Here's what I did:
- booted to TWRP
- wipe cache/dalvik/system
- flashed cm10
- flashed gapps (gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip)
After booting, the Play Store would not connect (Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]) and I noticed it wouldn't connect to Google Services (connection icons were grey rather than blue).
Figured I'd clear data, etc, for Play Store and Google Services Framework. Well, Google Services Framework is not listed in Manage Apps (though the apk is in /system/app).
So I went back to the 4.2 gapps:
- booted to TWRP
- wipe cache/dalvik/system
- flashed cm10
- flashed gapps (KDH_4.2_GAPPS_V2_DEO.zip)
...and everything is working as it did before. Blue connection icon, Play Store connects fine, Google Services Framework is once again visible in Manage Apps. But again, cannot update apps that were included in the package, like GMail.
Any ideas what the deal could be?
For what it's worth, whatever the issue was seems to have been alleviated by using an older gapps package.

CM11 + Latest GApps, Play Store Crashes

So i am at a bit of a problem here and i cant figure it out.
I have installed both CM11 from 04/24/14, and tried the 4/08/14 Experimental build, both with the latest GApps zip file for CM11 from
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The install seems to go fine, CM11 works, i can get wifi, connect to google account, gmail, internet, hangouts everything works..
Except Play Store...it crashes every time. Ive tried everything i can think of, those things include
Run the installed one from Gapps, it starts and i can see the initial disclaimer i have to accept then it crashes.
Download Google Play store apk and push it via ADB install, doesnt load.
Use GAppManager, the instant i select a version of GApps to install it crashes.
Try flashing an earlier version of GApps(For ICS) from KFFAide, doesnt work..
Go into Apps, find Google Play store that comes from the flashed GApps and clear its cache...
Ive tried flashing just CM11, booting it, then going back into TWRP and flashing GApps
Tried clearing dalvik/system and every other TWRP wipe except internal
Im really out of ideas...any help would be great nothing i do seems to do it...
I also tried flashing back to a version of 10.2 Experimental for KF HD but it just fails immediately when i try.

Try the GAPPS from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 find which ones you want to use and then choose goo as the download place. Then get a slightly older Gapps. I'm using a set from 1-23-2014 and have had zero issues. They will update anyway so having today's 0 day Gapps is not a huge deal. If you want mini Gapps, here is the link http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-mini/older versions

I've been using the latest GApps ("stock" experience) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and it works great. It will error out some apps the first time with a notification that you must update Google Play Services to continue. Sign in and update Google Play Services through the store and everything works like a champ.
A bonus of using the PA GApps package (if you want all those apps at all) is that they install to /system and don't use up as much /data space. Maybe not an issue for many, but every little bit helps right?
Keep in mind that the "stock" (i.e. Nexus-esque) package will remove the AOSP Browser, Messaging, and Keyboard. As long as you're good with Chrome, Hangouts, and Google Keyboard, this (again) saves you storage. If you prefer the AOSP apps, read the thread for how to keep them or install one of the other packages from the thread.
It turns out the issue is unrelated to Google apps, ANY application i use and try to download with will crash.
Try to grab an attachment from Gmail, crash
Try to download a file via Chrome, crash
Try to download via Play store, crash
I have no idea what the hell is causing this ive checked my Download and Downloader apps they are both running, ive tried restarting them, disabling them, and many other things...
At this point how do i return my Kindle to a "Stock" Kindle Fire HD as if i bought it from the store?
I may need to return it, im wondering if this is a hardware issue? Doesnt make sense though because everything else seems to work, i can go view internet stuff so the wifi isnt bad, and i can copy files to it via USB so the storage isnt bad...

Try flashing a slightly older KitKat Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579123 If you want to go stock then use the system restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 Use the stock USB cord.

No Google App access possible

Hi,
after some troubles with updating the ACE II from Gingerbread to JB and then to Kitkat, the system is finally stable.
Unfortunately I still have problems accessing the google play store/ creating and accessing a google account.
I installed Macław/NovaFusion version of CM11.0 and the appropriate gapp (no matter if I use the same homepage or the cm original)
As soon as I want to create/access a google account nothing happens, as soon as I enter Login and Password it seem as if the internet conncetion fails (just no access there)
I tried to install a newer version of both CM11.0 and the gapps (no mather if mini, micro or...) it didn't help.
Do I have to clear anything before the update, to ensure that the gapps finally work?
Thanks for your help!

2017 security patches for 5.1.1 stock rom?

Hi there. Has anybody built a ROM with the following specs?
- based on stock 14.6.A.1.236 (android 5.1.1)
- pre-rooted
- all security patches added, e.g. patches for those 10 critical bugs that have just been fixed
It is not stock but aosp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-jaguar-amami-lp5-1-1-r37-hardened-t3396713
In Jaguar you get all the patches within 1 or 2 days. I am using it atm.
Alright, I just switched to Jaguar.
But it wasn't easy. Dual recovery with Philz & TWRP 2.8.x defended itself very persistently. Installing TWRP 3.0.2 had no effect - neither in recovery partition nor in FOTA kernel. Even the uninstall zip of dual recovery couldn't wipe TWRP 2.8.x, although the script said it had run successfully. So I kept installing images into different partitions in fastboot mode (which was the only mode that kept working all the time). In the end TWRP 3.0.2 suddenly appeared after 3 hours.
In Jaguar it was also a bit fiddling to get AFWall+ working. Optimumpro's dowload has a rather old version, which kept blocking all traffic. But after removing it and installing the current v2.9.1 it worked. Now I've installed all apps I need. Everything seems to work except for Gmail. That one always crashes on start. Its background process also steadily crashes, so every other minute I see a popup that tells me "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped". Clearing cache and data has not solved the problem. Stopping sync had no effect either. Maybe re-installing the gapps.zip in TWRP will help...
I also had problems to install TWRP 3.0.2 persistantly. My solution was to install Philz TWRP 2.8 and inside TWRP 2.8 I flashed 3.0.2. After that only 3.0.2 TWRP was available.
OptimusPro pointed out that Internet is only working if you allow apps in AFWall.
I switched AFWall+ from white-listing to black-listing and put nothing on the list, so currently everything can access the internet. And that's also what I tried in the older version of AFWall+, but it didn't work there.
One more question: where did you find the zip (for installation in recovery) of TWRP 3.0.2? I can only find img files for installation with fastboot.
I think in optimuspro version he disabled it?
you do not need a zip. In TWRP 2.8 go to INSTALL and there should be a button "Install Image" Then you can load and flash an img file.
Oh, I didn't know that you can flash img files in some recoveries. However the only partition I can select in TWRP for installation is /boot. Well, I proceed with the installation just for the fun of it... (some minutes later)... and yes, it has really overwritten /boot. That's not where a recovery belongs.
Anyway, now I can hopefully solve my problems. I use a lot of Google applications, but I guess I took a package that overwrote some files in /system that are not compatible with the rest of optimuspro's ROM. So I just flash everything again, but this time with a smaller gapps package. Let's give "micro" a try...
edit: No, that was not the solution. Gmail is still crashing.
Which opengapps version are you using?
I use arm, 5.1, pico. And then I just download the gapps from the play store.
I do not have gmail account, so I cannot test gmail. It is strange that it is not working. I meand it is just a mail app or is it so deep diving in the system?
First I tried gapps "stock". Now I see that this package was too big, because it not only installed a bunch of apps I don't need, it also removed SlimPie launcher, the camera app, and the mail app that comes with Jaguar. I guess it also removed some more apps... probably every app that could be replaced by a Google app.
Now in the 2nd run I used gapps "micro". It looks like none of the Jaguar apps have been removed. Gmail still came with the gapps package, but now it has been installed side by side with the mail app that comes with Jaguar. The same for the launcher. And of course I had to install some apps in play store (e.g. maps), which were not included in the package.
Well, I'm not sure if I like the Jaguar ROM. Sure it has the right priorities. But aside from gmail I might have found some more problems. I installed Automate in order to automatically turn on/off wifi when coming home/leaving home. Turning wifi off (and using cellular data) works fine, but when coming home and wifi is being enabled AFWall+ blocks wifi traffic. So far I could manage to unblock wifi only by activating/deactivating airplane mode (or rebooting of course). And there might be problems with WhatsApp as well. Sometimes I don't receive messages until WhatsApp has been opened. Maybe the background process doesn't run or it is not able to receive data, even over wifi. Maybe AFWall+ is blocking traffic again... or some security defaults are blocking WhatsApp. I don't know. Threema doesn't seem to have the same problems, it works very well on Jaguar.
Whats App is working for me withour problems. And AFWall+ runs normal.
But yeah, I would say that custom roms are always trickier than stock roms. But for me Jaguar is the only rom where I can say, that I am on best security level. So I can live with the issues I have.
I realized that I need to do the gps fix which is mentioned in th main thread.

Help me with google apps

Hi everyone
I have got a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) and it unfortunately stopped updating due to it been so old and was left behind on android KitKat 4.4.
So I decided to root it and download the lineage update to get android 7.1.2 custom ROM on it and give it a bit of life instead of never been used because it's slow and blotchy.
When I download the ROM everything worked really well, moment installed Gapps it when pear shaped. I was met with "android is starting" message stopping me from do anything but go on settings through notifications bar and it made my keyboard disappear.
So I just flashed the lineage ROM back to standard without Gapps. I have tried most of the Gapps packages that they make and I get the same thing every time with the missing keyboard.
My real question is can build a set of google apps through apk. I have tried installing google play, google play services and google play frame something (can't remember the last one) all of them either don't work or crash and just not stop being up a message saying each one of them isn't working.....what apps do need to install or flash to build up my own set of google apps without using Gapps
(Just some notes at the end to help, I rooted using root genius, my custom boot is TWRP, I installed TWRP via odin and lineage seems to be the only ROM that does a android 7 for my device, the apps I want working are google play store, google app, google maps, google assistant (if possible), gmail and maybe calender. The rest of them are on my non rooted s7e so don't need them on the tablet.)
Hope someone can help
hello
there " http://opengapps.org/ " use aroma version
or there " https://www.apkmirror.com/ "

regards
Thanks.
In the end I just picked and tried flashing different Gapps packages, when a package I tried wouldn't work I just flashed installed the original lineage 14.1 ROM, to wipe the Gapps package....after trying about 4 different packages from Gapps I think the micro package worked.
Just can't get android assistant to work now, do anyone have any ideas???
hello
before installing opengapps u should wipe data, cache, walvick
regards
