[Q] Google Apps - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help with the answers to these questions? I have searched but not found the answers.
1. There doesn't appear to be a changelog for the 29/09 gapps. What's different from the 26/07 version?
2. If I've already flashed the 26/07 version then can I just flash 29/09 over the top?
3. Won't the Play store just automatically update the apps to the latest anyway?
Thanks for reading...
----
Desire HD, Jellytime 17.1, Synergye's KangBang-Kernel v0.2. Stable, no black screens, no random reboots. Lovely.

1 The difference is simply that have been updated and optimized with the latest version of Android
2 Yes, there is no problem, new gapps will overwrite the old apps
3 Play store notifies you when updates are available, you can do them manually or automatically

[Q] Google Music app not compatible with my device

Hi,
I'm new to android and modding in general. I've flashed AOKP + gapps on my device. Some of the gapps would not appear in my app drawer no matter how many times I reflashed them, so I installed them manually from the market. The problem is this is not working for Google Music, it does not show up in the market on my device, if I browse to it on the market website, it says that Google Music is not compatible with my device because it is not available in my country (I'm in Canada) which makes no sense since the device shipped with the Music app installed on stock image. Anyone know how I can get it to work?
Thanks
Although the app ships with it if Google Music isn't available in your country you can't download it from the Market. Same with here in the UK
Google search the APK and install it via a file manager on the phone
Install the gapps listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1484457
Good luck
oh ok, I tried faking the market to a USA one and it still didn't work. I downloaded the apk and installed it manually and it's working.
One question though, shouldn't the AOKP or the gapps that I flashed already mean I should had got it without trying to download it from the market? do you know why some of those gapps like maps, navigation, etc did not show up at all until I downloaded them myself?

is this different from the gapps package that is available on the AOKP nightly build website? I'll try it out later when I get home, thanks

Here's a post by Roman:

Important: New Gapps package is bare, so there is no legal trouble for anyone. Please do not ask us to include any extra apps. A wipe is required. I'm sorry if it's missing some apps not available in your country via the Market, but that's the exact reason we cannot include them in the package. This means Google Wallet is no longer included in. It will still work, but you must add it yourself. Thanks for your understanding.
Build 22 is still 4.0.3. Every single build and milestone is built directly from source. As such, we must wait for Google to release sources for 4.0.4. After that, we'll be working day and night to merge the new changes and bring you the latest!

[Q] GAPPS Question (updates, rationale, etc.)

New to the custom ROM world and really enjoying it so far! But regarding GAPPS.... doing some searches, my understanding is that they cannot be bundled in with the ROM becuase of licensing issues. That's understandable.... but if google pushes out an update for gmail, maps,etc., will I still get the update via the play store? Or will I have to get updates from the ROM developer when he/she pushes out an updated GAPPS zip and flash that?
Thanks.
You will get an update in the play store for those apps.
Eventually the gapps will be updated to include the updates.

Thanks El Daddy.... so is it safe to update or will it conflict with the GAPPS delivered via custom ROM developer? Is it best to wait iuntil the developer puts out a new GAPPS package?
Keep in mind Gmail and Maps aren't included in the most recent Gapps any longer since they ARE available on Play. Of course there are some custom versions of Gapps that retain these apps.
Play, Maps and Gmail will update themselves to the latest versions regardless of what version of Gapps you flashed (assuming Gmail and Maps are available in your region).
Thanks!

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.

[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

and BINGO! Everything is working as supposed

Thanks and best regards,

TCL 32es560 : Play Store app not updating itself

Hi everybody
I was struggling with the issue on topic.
Issue started suddenly and has never recovered since.
Current ATV version is 8.0.0
Play services update as expected, current version is 19.6.29
Play Store sticks to version 10.5.10 and reports itself as updated
Troubleshooting I made:
force update through play store's about page
clear data and cache in com.android.vending
clear data and cache in play services
clear data and cache in download manager
adjust date and time
cycle sign-in of Google account
went through two firmware updates, current version is V190
reset to factory
I've gathered a diagnostic log but I'm not sure if I can read it. What fail status , if ever, should I look for?
I've also tried to reinstall via apk taken from apkmirror, first I tried to version 11.x then went to 16.7.31, unfortunately that never resolved the issue.
Really , I don't know what else should I do at the moment.
Thanks for your help.
Max
I have the same model TV and play store is at version 10.5.10 and thinks it is up to date.
Hi again, the issue is still keeping on after a new factory reset. I've noticed that a new firmware version , V216 , has been released. Has anybody tried it yet?
How do you find out what the installed version is?
Do you mean the firmware?
On my device:
Home\settings\informations\contact us
If you talk about the version of the Play Store:
Play Store\settings\about > you'll see the current version.
As you may already know, if you click on the version and an update has been released it should download and install it.
Just got a kernel update.
Kernel version
4.4.3+

Hi again
I'll check fo the kernel update, in the meantime I updated again the firmware version from V190 to V216 and Play services updated correctly to 19.8.31 . Play store is still to version 10.5.10
I did all the troubleshooting that Google could offer and if I install an APK that won't follow the updates as well....help please!!
What are the benefits of updating the firmware?
