updated google apps .zip?

With the unofficial CyanogenMod 10.1 releases now fairly well established and Android 4.2.2 quite stable on our DHD's is it possible to update the google apps .zip to include the current google apps. The gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip file contains older google core apps that each time I flash my custom cyanogenmod 10.1 ROM they need to get updated from the Play store.
Is it possible to include the current google apps in the original ROM or is it possible to create a custom google apps .zip with the current apps? Has anyone already done it? Just interested as each time I flash a new ROM I have to go through an extra step whilst the older google apps get updated - not a huge issue but if it can be avoided?

Not the correct section for a thread of this type. But in answer to your questions:
Bundling GApps with the ROM breaks licensing laws, so that's not a valid option. I know that some ROMs do it, but they risk legal action, and they only get away with it because of their limited visibility. ROMs like CM or AOKP would probably get in trouble in no time. As a matter of fact in the early days of CM these apps were included by default and the developer received a cease and desist because of it. And that's when GApps zips started appearing.
To avoid waiting for the flashed GApps to update, you could look around for bundles created by other people. Not just the ones that can be found on http://goo.im/gapps. For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857

You can just take your existing gapps zip, pull the updated versions from your phone, rename and replace in the zip
You could also, if you wanted to, merge both the ROM zip and Gapps zip together.
Ive never had an issue with that but, of course, YMMV...

Yup. I take the normal Gapps package, replace with updated apps and GMS and add the other Gapps I use such as Earth.
I then have another Gapps zip with the other apps such as G+ etc that I dont use that often but can quickly flash if need be.
Gapps zips are quite versatile. As long as you use the original package which contains all the framework for them to run and other bits n bobs, you can chop and change what you want.
I replace Gmail and PhoneSky with inverted versions etc

how difficult is it to update, most people now run unlimited data packages or can connect to 99% of wifi available, pubs clubs shops just hang near and connect. close freinds and family contribute monthly to my broadband and i allow them to connect during the day and hammer overnight to bypass limit caps etc.

I'm curious, why install google keyboard? Isn't it similar enough, feature wise, to the AOSP keyboard? In fact, aren't they the same? I think the google keyboard is for those stock devices that only have the manufacturers custom keyboard installed. You already have it installed on CM11, maybe that's why you're getting an error.

I don't think aosp and google kb are exactly the same.
plus, if it's showing as an update thru play and the error is coming, then not getting the newest fixes&features.
I would check to see that you don't have some version of it being installed by gapps being used or something. one that is themed maybe or customized will usually contain a different signature than the official one.
also, after you delete it and/or uninstall, reboot device before trying to install thru play.

Hey guys, id like to install the Google Keyboard because it has new features that i really like. It doesn not show as an update to the CM11 AOSP keyboard, it is a separete app.
Also restarting after uninstalling/moving the CM11 keyboard's .apk did not help
Any other suggestions on how to get the google apk installed?
Thanks

thanks a lot for this final version!
But one thing I realised already... I additionally installed GAPPS 'gapps-jb-4.2.2-light-20130824-signed' and one function does not run:
'GoogleTTS'. It crashes.
Can you have a look please?...

Well, no problem. Just give me a logcat of the error.
I re-uploaded the rom cause GPS was not working. Now it does.

Where can I find this 'logcat'?...
Maybe TTS is not a problem with CM10.1 but with the GAPPs package that contains an incompatible GoogleTTS.apk!?
Do you activate the update function in Android options at 'phone infos'? (no option for that right now)
Would really make sense for left errors like that, don't you think so?
Meanwhile I could just flash over the old one, right?...
By the way... Will there be a final CM10.2 version as well?...
Will it be possible to update from 10.1 to 10.2 by just flashing over CM10.1 ? (it is all 'Jelly Beans'...)

Probably. I don't really remember TTS working on Android 4.x for armv6. Maybe it uses some armv7 libs. I suggest you download these and flash it on a clean ROM. It doesn't contain anything unnecessary.
To make a logcat just download an app named "Catlog", start it, give it root access, then make google tts crash and then save the log in txt file and post it on pastebin.

Updater has nothing to do with this. And it was not working anyway cause this port is unofficial.

There won't be stable CM10.2 for sure. I could make a stable CM11, but man, even CM10.1 is pretty heavy for WFS. I shared all fixes I have with ARMv6Team, so A2DP and wired headset are fixed in CM11 now. But I won't join the development since I don't see the point.

okay, thank you. I will send you the Logcat later this night.
To TTS:
1) Is it used/necessary e.g. by GoogleMaps for the voice to navigate you? If so this would mean that lite-weight GAPPS packages do not support GoogleMaps navigation?...
2) It could be that the GAPPS package I mentioned before (s. this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917411) misses a folder 'tts'. I added it and will flash it later. Maybe that's the reason for the TTS crash. I will let you know.
3) Why didn't you include at Android settings the two options 'developer options' and 'performance'? (in CM9 they are included!) They would be very helpful!!
4) Can I just flash over your CM10.1 version from 17th Oct. the actual version from 18th Oct.? I work with INT2EXT2 !!
[Maybe I could avoid reinstallations each time by using LINK2SD instead?...] Or which part of the new version do I have to flash over?...
4b) May I just overwrite a CM10.1 version with version CM10.2 ?... (both are Jelly Bean!)
To 2): I just saw that the folder 'tts' is already included in your CM10.1 package. So I suppose that it should not be added in GAPPs again.
What I suppose now: While 'PicoTts.apk' is an offline TTS module the 'GoogleTTS' is an online one workimg together with the Google server. (It might be necessary for other online components like GoogleMaps navigation.) Right?

Well yes, TTS is probably being used for voice output. I'm not sure it's being used in google maps though.

You don't need to reflash. Just extract /system/lib/hw/gps.msm7x27.so and /system/etc/gps.conf from the zip and put them into the same places on your phone.

I think you can't since 10.2 is much different. Never tried it by myself though. Just make a backup, then do whatever you want.

I never actually used TTS since it does not support Russian, which is my native language. All I can do is take a look into logcat and see if I can fix it.
Regards.

I just sent you the logcat of the TTS problem by pastebin to niks255.
(I did not use a clean system but I think it will go anyway, will it?...)
Furtheron I would like to ask you the important question 4 again:
How can I update a (same) CM version (e.g. CM10.1) (if I do not have informations about the exact components changed!) WHEN using a link script like INT2EXT2?... (I already made some tries but failed)
Another little question...
I am missing in the boot menu (long press on power button) the (earlier) options like reboot to recovery, reboot to bootloader, etc.
Is there any reason why this disappeared at CM10+ ?...

This option is still there. Go to settings - developer settings and set "Advanced reboot menu" option checked. To unlock developer settings, follow steps from the post above.
And please, provide a link to your logcat on pastebin here.

I hope that you can find out the TTS crash reason!... Please let me know.
I will soon check if the way of update described works. However it sounds logical. Could work...

Seems pretty simple to me. Remove google now and install this from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.voicesearch&hl=en then give me your feedback.

hmmh, I don't think that this is the reason...
Cause the TTS error message came already directly after login of the pretty new flashed CM10.1 package.
At LogCat I used 'Voice Search' of GoogleNow ('GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk') just for starting TTS to demonstrate the error.
So you think that gapps-jb-4.2.2-light-20130824-signed does not suit to your CM10.1 package?...
Refering updates of same CM versions with SD-ext link scripts you are right: it worked just to copy the script to folder init.d. A good solution. Thank you!!
And also the two additional boot options can be activated.
What about the warm restart option. Doesn't this exist anymore?...
May I ask you some additional questions?...
* How would you compare CM9 with CM10.1 considering power consumption?
* Is there anything left that will not work of Bluetooth at CM10.1 ? Cause in the forums there is often mentioned s.th...
* And is it possible that design/themes/background collections are available like it is at CM9? I just see that files like MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk and LiveWallpapers.apk are not included anymore in your CM10.1 package. That's why the options 'background pictures' and 'Live background' don't find anything.
And there is still another point (no forum thread about that)...
It seems as if there is no local contacts 'account' at CMx (normally called 'phone') but only the own Google account. Isn't this unusual?...
Not wanting to use the Google account would mean to create an extra one?...
Thanks for your feedback!

If I remove 'GoogleNow.apk' and even 'GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk' I still cannot install app VoiceSearch (it is still installed).
It is another app in the system folder that you want me to exchange: VoiceSearch.apk. It does not seemt to have s.th. to do with 'GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk' which I used to execute TTS.
Do you want me to remove this as well?...
I can also use 'Android settings -> Speech and Input -> text-to-speech output' to start TTS. It crashes here as well!... So the problem should not be the VoiceSearch module.
Does the option 'Speech search' just above works on your mobile? Here it does not work as well!...

Reflash the ROM and flash those Gapps I gave you then install voice search from google play.

I don't understand...
That makes no sense cause those Gapps are unnecessary small. I have more ROM.
Furtheron they do not contain the necessary GoogleTTS.apk which is the one that crashes.
So with a small Gaps package your version will always work as it does not have the available, additional features!...
So could you meanwhile test your CM10.1 with my Gapps version? That would be a good idea as well, I suppose, wouldn't it?
And would you be so kind and just comment my last requests? ( I assure you I won't ask anymore afterwards ) )!
Thank you so much !!

That makes perfect sense cause TTS seems to be using CM10.1 voice input according to your logcat. Just try it.
And live wallpapers are included in CM10.1. They were not in CM10, but it's also fixable.
Talking about battery life. I got the best results on CM10. On CM9 I was having some strange battery drain sometimes. I could even find my phone turned off when I wake up. That problem does not exist on CM10 and higher.

So you mean that 'my' Gapps (for v4.2.2!) are unnecessary big? And your ZGapps already include all possible and necessary functions?... E.g GoogleTTS.apk must not be included as TTS is 'double-functioned' then?...
So how do I have to configure it now (which apks do I need and which are unnecessary (e.g. 'GoogleNowVoiceSearch.apk', 'GoogleNow.apk', GoogleTTS.apk, etc.). Just check it in my GAPPs please!) that...
1.) GoogleNow Voice search does not crash?
2.) 'Android settings -> Speech and Input -> text-to-speech output' does not crash?
And yes, I saw that LiveWallpapers are included as an apk. BUT when I go to Background->Live-Backgrounds the entrance is EMPTY!!
(and option 'background pictures' contains just one picture)
Why is that so?...
The only working option I have right now is 'CM background pictures'!...
Thank you for your feedback concerning power consumption.
So Bluetooth works fine now on CM10 and CM11 ??
By the way...
Do you think the CM11 version for Marvel is already stable enough to be ready for normal/daily use?
And are there (functional) reasons why KitKat should be prefered to Jelly Beans?...

Live Backgrounds is empty because you don't have any live wallpaper installed. Download one from google play and you'll be fine.
The ROM contains just one background to reduce ROM size. It hardly fits internal memory, so I guess devs just had to slim it as much as possible. You can set any picture as a background.

* How should Google TTS work if GoogleTTS.apk is not installed on your side? As I already mentioned: your Gapps package does not contain it!... So both options ('Speech Search' and 'Online TTS') do not even appear in your settings menu!!!
* You write that you don't know about CM 10.1?... I thought you have finished both 10.0 and 10.1 and that you are a developer!?.... Didn't you fix the last problems at CM10.x? The way you announced it.
If not could you please inform me what you exactly did/improve at both (CM10.0 and CM10.1 ) compared to the most actual version I know: 'cm-10.1-20131025-OWLPROJECT-marvel.zip'?
* 'My' Gapps link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1917411 include very nice additional features! Did you check meanwhile?... Those should work properly with proper stable running CM10.x versions, of course - GoogleTTS included, shouldn't they?...
So don't you care for those functions as well (not just suggest a smaller Gapps package).
Didn't you say: "What's not working:... You tell me." So I did...
* Can you please tell me otherwise where to find another most actual and proper working CM10.1 version (of this year)?
* By the way, which CM10.x version did you take as the basic version of yours?
Three more little questions:
- All CM10 apk files in your packages are dated from February 2008. Isn't that strange that one cannot see the real date/actuality of each component?...
- Do you know why there are different packages for each three JB versions?... (maybe my GoogleTTS.apk was mixed up!)
- How can I test other Gapps easily? I should clean and overwrite the Gapps. My only idea would be to format only system folder and flash Rom and Gapps again. Any better idea?...
-------------
However this discussion is difficult because I don't have informations about the function of each Gapps app. How can I find out? Don't you know maybe any explaining listing/document?

In fact LiveWallpapers.apk is not included in your CM10.1, Nick! Now I took the one of CM9: I could install it but they cannot be loaded. It shows 2 pictures. The same app shows in CM9 9 pictures...
Anyhow, they are wrong for CM10. Do you know where I can get LiveWallpapers.apk for CM10.x compatible with Trebuchet ??

I have a CM11 version here that seems to run fine (up to now). But I am not sure about its power consumption and speed.

Hallo again Nick,
meanwhile I tested your Gapps. My complaints are right.
As I mentioned above: GoogleTTS cannot crash with your Gapps because it is not installed.
At 'Settings->Speech&Input->Text-to-Speech output' you cannot choose between Google TTS and Pico TTS but you have only the last one!
But if you - as I wrote - choose the online-TTS version (sounds much better!!) with GoogleTTS.apk it crashes.
So it really does not seem to work together with your CM10.1 and you should improve this please.
The same with 'Settings->Speech&Input->Speech search': it does not work. If I choose this option everything hangs on.
This is the second point/problem that obviously should be fixed.
Please just install GoogleTTS.apk and VoiceSearch.apk in your systems folder of your CM10.1 version.
Now please test the mentioned two functions!
By the way: I just did so at another CM10.1 release (which I do not like so much than yours) and it worked fine! So it should generally work with yours as well but doesn't !...
Would be perfect if you could find solutions for both problems.
Thank you very much!
PS: I tested all this also at CM9. Here GoogleTTS is also included (in a lite Gaps package!). And here both functions work perfect: Speech Search AND Text-to-Speech Output !!
It seems to be sure: There is s.th. wrong at your CM10.1 version!

CM 12.1/13 - various builds

Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.
Builds are usually compatible both to US and Chinese devices: please say which version you're using when you post/report bugs since we'd like to confirm that.
Most recent I've found (old versions hidden):

OK, things are getting serious: we've got Play Store and Google services working fine (location via mobile data and wifi not working), all kind of streaming videos play fine, framerate for GPU intensive games is unbelievable compared to LeTV's 12S stock ROM based Custom ROMs; no major bugs to note except Parrot's Free Flight 3 app not working.

Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here..
Actually I kept getting Play Store working on and off and I couldn't understand what triggers that so I reverted to the ROM below.

Please note I always disable all the Chinese apps (for example using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=i) and install Stock/Aroma Open Gapps (http://opengapps.org/).
This is a guide to trim the ROM zip from variuos apk's, use wisely: http://bbs.elephone.hk/thread-2939-1-1.html
And this is an additional trim guide which was true for collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL ROM, not confirmed on newer versions

Missing SIM possible solution (thanks 0rk0 from http://www.letv.re/topic/1020-letv-x800-lost-imei/?do=findComment&comment=9608)
Code:
1. With the card inserted and unacknowledged make a call by typing: * # * # 4636 # * # *
2. Appear a menu with several options: informaticion phone, battery information, usage statistics and wifi information. That we are interested in "phone information" we click on it.
3. We get a lot of things and options. We seek "Set preferred network type" and we click on the tab that appears below us which allows us to select different types of networks.
When you first enter this menu appeared selected the option "TD-SCDMA, LTE, CDMA, EVDO GSM / WCDMA," possibly this was the problem, it was the wrong choice. So it was.
4. Change the option to "LTE / GSM / CDMA auto (PRL)" and restart your phone (you simply have to select it and get out the normal phone menu

And head over here to review the ROM, I think that may stimulate collapseromer to build more, maybe even CM13! http://rom.7to.cn/romdetail/1012717
What's your mileage guys? Could you get some CM13 somewhere, maybe? Please share your files and experience, LeTV ROMs are just clueless and I really think CM is the only way out: how could you develop such a useless lockscreen and notification shade, LeTV?

Hmm... Great stuff. I also not very impressed by EUI... What about Sim card slots, mobile Internet and camera? Do all these things work on CM too? How about battery life? Is it improved or same or less?

I'm using slot 2 only and data/calls/messages work fine; both cameras work, with 4k videos too; battery is more or less the same, I can go morning to evening just like Cuoco's. I really insist you should try, unless letv starts developing good things (but it seems like Android 6 ROM doesn't change much) I'll never look back; moreover, someone may port cm13 sooner or later.

How's the camera quality, compared to EUI?
Thanks for this share OP =D

Not at all, dude, I just want to spark some conversation and maybe development for this DOA device...
Camera is fine, you even get 4k video recording from main camera and 1080p from the front facing one. Even official EUI ROMs are not that good, with camera: videos always fail to autofocus and you have to keep pressing on screen to refocus, while pictures live preview is slow and generally not so good with low lighting.
Please H3G, deliver the HTC 10 and I'll get that in a heartbeat so I can stop going slightly mad with this device!

Hello guys, I'm going to share some CM builds I've found online and I'd like you to try them and discuss them. Thanks to collapseromer.

This is a great ROMtoo bad Google Play Store started FCing after like an hour since I installed. I've tried a few things to get it back (uninstall via Root Explorer and reinstall, clear cache and data, flash GApps again) but so far no luck; funny enough, it's auto-updating installed apps and installing apps when I do that via browser just fine. :/.
EDIT: Now it works... I guess it's because of the modified build.prop I applied, which I'm attaching here.

Hi,
do I understand correctly that this "collapse-cm-12.1-20160531-UNOFFICIAL-X800" version works on our LeTV 1 Pro X800 US/CE model?

Correct, any CM you'll find in this thread works both for CN and US versions, I'm using an US device myself.

Ok thanks !
Then I will try it today, as I have some problems with my actual CUOCO 11S V4.3 which could not be OTA updated anymore for whatever reason.
Did't you installed OPENGAPPS arm64 version right after the ROM flash ?

Right, opengapps build, 64 bit, Android 5.1, flashed right after ROM (put two zips in queue, in case you're wondering). Let me know which build you're going to flash and how you like it.

I installed it ! But on boot I choosed german as language maybe not a good idea. Will try again with english at first boot-up.
I noticed following:
- I installed OpenGAPPS Stock Version for 5.1 / arm64
- Google Play Store is crashing
- AudioFX is crashing
- four to six useless chinese apps included into the ROM
- One settings extension is completely in chinese
Anyway if I'm able to remove the for me useless stuff and fix the crashing of the play sotre, then I will keep this ROM.

Which ROM build did you flash? I reverted to https://app.box.com/s/ua2ekx0g54iltp2nj9b8uo2fykciylwg for now, just because of Play Store issues (even though it actually worked since I could install apps via browser and apps were auto-updating I could open it only sporadically, most of the time it force closed).
- AudioFX crashes here too, I actually never tried that since all my audio needs are speaker and bluetooth;
- You can easily freeze/uninstall those Chinese apps: enable CM root access in standard developer settings, install Titanium Backup or similar from Play Store (or via apk from apkmirror.com) and get rid of them;
- That settings item in Chinese language is actually just a container for all those Chinese apps you want to kill, so don't bother. It will force close if you click on it, once you freeze/delete those apps.
- I always choose Italian as system language and everything is in Italian: except for those Chinese apps, of course, but they never survive for a long time.

I flashed this one that you posted at the beginning:
https://mega.nz/#!QgoihJCQ!RpD2O1knJ5L6uAOGI7I6elv6spUNrPXD7whpqb6y2kE
Should I try the one that you posted in the BOX account ? Isn't it the same ?

Nope, slightly older: try that.

can't download the one in the box account. The download don't start...

You're right, the uploader went out of bandwidth: I'm uploading to Mega myself, it should be ready in less than an hour. Of course I'll change the links too.

But see my last reply:
So this one is from 07.06.2016, is this the one that you put on mega ?

Original filename of the file I'm uploading to Mega is collapse-cm-12.1-20160512-UNOFFICIAL. If you have that one just flash. Build date is 2016-05-12 (12/05/2016 in Europe), you can see it from the filename.

Yes exactly. I flashed it already Play Store works on this build from 12.05.2016. Cool !
I already deactivated all the chinese APPS via APPS Settings --> All Apps. It's important that you have to download first a new keyboard like google keyboard. As the chinese/english one will be also unavailable when deactivating all chinese app/services from settings.

Yeah, so far that build worked fine, only occasional non-playing Periscope/Facebook videos. Even installed Xposed Framework with a few modules.
Oh, are you using Trebuchet or Google launcher?

[SOLVED] Installing Google App Made LineageOS On Galaxy S2 Lagging Terribly

Hi,
I installed the Google App from Play Store and it made my S2 almost unusable. Everything is lagging, Google voice search takes about a minute to open, and answers come out of phase. I.E. if I enter a new search term I may get a response to my previous search. After uninstalling Google everything is back to normal. Lineage OS works (almost ) like a charm, without Google.
However, I need Google voice search and I need Google's voice recognition engine for other apps too.
Should I:
- update LineageOS? (Can I do so preserving installed apps and data?)
- change the Kernel?
- downgrade Google?
I'm using Nova Launcher - do I have to remove Trebuchet?
I got:
LineageOS Version 14.1-2017.08.02-Nightly-i9100
Build Number lineage_i9100-userdebug 7.1.2 NJH47D 9edfd84d7b
Baseband Version I9100XXLS8
Kernel Version 3.0.101-CustomKernel-v1.3 [email protected] #1 Mon Mar 27 19:31:17 IST 2017
Important? I changed the ROM size/layout before installing Lineage following some guide I can't find any more .
Thanks for any advice.
Best regards,
Toshi

2 options. Get older version of google or get a new phone. No decent voice services, unfortunately. :/
So yeah. And no, you dont need to remove trebuchet.

Thanks for your reply.
Get older version of google

...that's what I thaught of. But then I updated Lineage to the latest nightly and installed a fresh Google app (com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox) from Playstore.
and BINGO! Everything is working as supposed
Marked as [SOLVED]
Thanks and best regards,
Toshibashi
