Tiny's Gapps - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know which keyboard tiny uses in his gapps? I Had been using his gapps in his cm10.1 and Pons cm10.2 but am trying out the Evolv 4.4 and am really missing that keyboard. I tried the Google keyboard but it does not seem to change the layout just added gesture. I tried looking in the gapps zip files but nothing popped out. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciated.
Even better Tiny put out a 4.4 gapps! :laugh:

Better yet, download the core gapps found here:

If these are helpful to you, please check out this thread to give credit to the person who put them out.

Evervolv has the standard AOSP keyboard I think and I don't know if the core gapps has that keyboard. I have the JB keyboard in my gapps and the play store one may be based on the Kitkat layout. The only reason I added the keyboard to my gapps was to get gesture typing to work.
If you need that older layout, push LatineIME.apk to /system/app and libjni_latinime.so from my gapps to the device.

Thanks Tiny. I was using the core gapps. I was thinking the LatinIme had something to do with it. I always loaded your gapps for the keyboard and lockscreen. Cannot seem to add new icons to the circle on Evervolv.. I even used your gapps on my EVO. You guys are amazing.

Force close of keyboard after copying files over, setting permissions, and rebooting. Guess I will try the play store or just deal with it. Thanks again.

You will have to clear data on the keyboard after flashing a different one or it will just FC.
Core gapps do not include a keyboard.

Just uploaded the revised tweak build... moved apps that needed to be moved to /data/apps to work properly( thanks pio!), everything should work fine now.. I also added lmt launcher so you wouldn't have to download it seperate! enjoy! http://d-h.st/qaN
I'm compiling another stock cm9 nightly now... should be done in a little while will post link after I get it uploaded!
/*-CM9 Nightly's-*\

/-*CM9 Tweaked*-\ ( see below for what alls baked in )
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 1 http://d-h.st/p0U
09/01 Nightly based tweak build 2 http://d-h.st/qaN **Newest***
***09/01/2012
Here's a link to an unofficial cm9 nightly I just built... I don't have enough post to start a thread in dev so I had to put it here ... and I don't know if I'm supposed to link to drop box but that's where I uploaded it sorry... just figured someone might want it... nothing special just stock cm9 built a couple hours ago (0901) ... of course u need to flash gapps after the zip... ha I don't have enough post to even post a link lol I guess p.m. me and I'll send it to ya if u want ... http://db.tt/rkAFX5tv
Update! Here's another drop box link to the cm9 zip I flash its from the source build yesterday with Linuxsociety's sweet kernel, hide bar , custom build.prop, edited gpio.kl to disable the hardware home key( I'm always hitting it on accident), nexus boot animation with the droids on motorcycles lol, 042* gapps, nesoid, and n64oid all baked in!!!!... http://db.tt/ult9hnVO its 178~ mbs.. I didn't make any of the mods besides the custom build.prop, not a big feat lol I just put all these together into a single flash because its easier for me to flash one zip....
Here's what's baked in....
--Hide bar (demo) (displays a little link on bottom of screen to buy full version in market... u can click it and it dissapears) *** note when hiding the navigation bar your wallpaper will dissapear...its a bug in the app for ics/jb version... only work around atm is to use a live wallpaper.. not a big deal... also I recommended installing lmt launcher for navigation buttons while in full scale mode... touching the bottom of the screen brings the navigation bar back...
--linuxsocietys godmachine 1.6 OC kernel (very nice kernel with lots of governers and schedulers... like u didn't already know)
--custom build.prop w/ various tweaks
--nexus bootanimatiom( the ones with the droids on bikes like tron.. full screen for the a100
--edited gpio.kl key layout to completely disable hardware home key.. although it will still light up.. I always hit it while playing games on accident so I like it better disabled)
--gapps 042* cm9 ics baked in... no need to flash gapps...
--nesoid and n64oid baked in to play your favorite old school roms( and no I don't know where to find game roms... Google it)
..... Enjoy
Nice, good to see someone picking up on CM9 again!
I would suggest signing up at dev-host, goo.im, etc. Drop box will get bandwidth locked pretty quick.
Keep it up!
thanks

Thanks I dk how often I'll do a build I wasn't planning on doing this one but for some reason HDMI audio doesn't work on any of the cm10 builds I have tried so I went back to relix-flex rom but wanted CyanogenMod so figured why not build from source... I forgot how long it took to repo sync and build( the last time I compiled a rom was for my evo over a year ago ..) sucks not having my desktop ... its about all my intel i3 laptop could handle lol... I got some other things in the works for the a100 so I'll end up having to sign up with dev-host or goo or something... but for now I thought I would share that ... I got about eight more post before I can post a link lol so anyone feel free to copy the link above and repost it so it works... it needs a couple //'s and a space taken it! That's how I had to put it sorry lol
update!! tweaked cm9 with goodies
I updated the OP with another link to a cm9 with some things I tweaked.. if u can't coble the link together pm me and I'll send u the link...
...almost forgot...
The sdcard swap is also baked into the tweaked cm9... ull have to set the correct permissions with root explorer and reboot for it to take effect...

If its in init.d its gonna cause problems. If its in /system/etc then it needs something to run it like script manager.
Unless of course you called it with a script run from init in the ramdisk, or found some other method I haven't thought of (extremely likely lol)

Yea lol I simply placed it in /system/etc as install-recovery.sh w/ the correct permissions though once flashed the permissions changed back to rw-r--r-- .. I'm uploading some zips to dev-host right not from the tab so I haven't had a chance to change permissions back to executable and reboot to see if that works.. though I don't think it will ... but yea worse case scenario it'll still have to be ran with script manager.. I wasn't thinking about the install-recovery.sh not working because I was on the flexreaper rom where it works as intended without a script manager!!
... nesoid and n64oid fc's
Seems like nesoid and n64oid don't like being installed as system apps .... reinstall the apks and everything's fine.... I'll post the links to the apks along with a link to lmt launcher as soon as I get everything uploaded ... lmt is a nice launcher that enables the quick control type thing like in the stock browser under labs except its system wide which goes nice when hiding the navigation bar and having your tablet in full screen mode
apk links...
If nesoid or n64oid is force closing when trying to load a rom simply reinstall the apks found here... nesoid: http://d-h.st/a61 n64oid: http://d-h.st/jb6 Lmt launcher: http://d-h.st/gVU

If you add a /data/app directory to the zip with those apks and then add a line to updater script it should then work properly. Just copy the system extract line and change it to match the /data information. I can bust that line out for you if you need it.
Or you can look at the aoikaze zip setup and updater script to see what I mean. I prefer this method as its easier to remove apps that aren't wanted (not everyone wants emulators for example) as they can just uninstall normally vs having to go delete it from /system/app.

Thanks a lot that was my intentions lol but couldn't remember how to do it .and to impatient to Google it lol. that's why I left lmt launcher out from the beginning as it won't run installed as a system app or at least it won't for me but it should be included ... and yea the emulators need the option to be uninstalled haha... I will take a look at ur aoikaze and see what u mean n try to have an updated zip with those apps installed as normal tomorrow.. thanks a lot ur help is very well appreciated
Okay! So this should be my tenth post lol so I can post links now! I moved hide bar, nesoid, and n64oid to /data/apps and added lmt launcher and they are all working fine now I will post updated link when I get home also i should have another stock cm9 nightly for you all too...
You should probably remove gapps. Cm leaves them out on purpose, it sucks but its safer for cm xda and yourself to leave them as a separate flash. I think Google asked them to not include them so cm's wishes it to be left out of their ROMs.
This may have changed but I just go by what I was told about it.

Swapping in your own custom apps

Hey everyone, I've always been a huge fan of inverted apps. With 4.2.1 coming out it seems there is a much longer delay in ROMs coming out. There are some inverted gapps packages though and I want to add some to a ROM.
I am currently running (or will be running) Xylon 011 Beta 3. I've tried JustUnBean's gapps package but it causes my phone to get constant FC's. Through some playing around (flashed JustUnBean and then gapps package dated 20121130) I managed to get a working ROM but it added a bunch of stuff I didnt want.
If I was to manually edit the Xylon 11 Beta 3 zip file and manually swap in the .apks of the inverted apps I want would that essentially give me inverted apps or would I be running into just as many issues?
Also does anyone know of a good inverted ROM with 4.2.1 yet? Many suggest to just use an inverted gapps package which is all well and good but one of the primary apps I like to have inverted is the calendar. I am able to flash the old inverted version of calendar in the meantime though.
Anywho just thought I'd ask the question.
Thanks!

justins gapps worked fine for me.. i tried them on pa and xylon, but since 4.2 i have been using this theme instead of inverted gapps.. and if you want you can edit the gapps package yourself, delete apps you dont want and add apps that you want

Yeah turns out I was a little too anxious with JustUnBean's gapps... using the Aroma installer worked perfectly!
I did try editing his gapps package but it almost always ended up in FCs or a phone that wouldnt boot. For some reason I thought that Aroma was another recovery and didnt realize it was an installer app.
I am sitting pretty with the Xylon 011 Beta 3 and all the stuff inverted that I wanted (Calendar is never themed in user themes)
A lot of developers (but not all, of course) have moved on to the latest and greatest Nexus phone. Expect a few key ROMs to either get sporadic updates or fall off the face of the earth. It happens to every phone as it ages, sadly.
I haven't seen much either in the way of inverted apps, so keeping an eye on this.

[Q] Similar ROM to Slimbean (small size) but without its own Gapps?

So the thing I enjoy most about slimbean is the "night" setting and the smaller sizes.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the part that determines the general sizes is the LCD density, and for slim its at 245.
Are there any ROMs that also use the same LCD density (if that is what's causing the small size)?
I'm mainly wondering because it uses its own Gapps package so that it could do this night mode where everything is black.
But I want to use the new gmail and other gapps that just came out more than I want night mode
You don't have to use the SlimBean GApps with the Slim ROMs, but have a look at CarbonROM (has Dark Carbon settings and you can change LCD density).

I use LiquidSmooth (what Carbon is based off of) and used to use their method to change the DPI. But recently, I've discovered the XPosed Per-App DPI settings included in the Rom. With it I can manually adjust the DPI of any program to make it whatever I want. The thing I like about this is that I don't have to mess with the Play Store (no more errors when trying to download apps). That, and some apps don't play well with a modified dpi on our phone.
I can go through and make google calendar 240 dpi and see how it functions, then change it to 190 an see how it works. I change Nova's setting to make the launcher look more like Slim Rom's (the Rom that made me fall in love with switching the DPI). It works really well and is worth a test drive, in my opinion.

So I tried to install it, and I got this assert failed problem, which links to this solution. Did you flash the odex, deodex, or 3rd rom? I'm just confused, since I would have to install a gapps for the 4.1.2 JB. did you do any of that?

No, you need to read the guys post again. He says to update your bootloader to MD4 to fix it, not to flash one of the stock roms.

[Q] Anyone able to successfully pull Dashclock from Slimkat Weekly 2.5 RC1?

I have tried pulling the APK out of the rom zip and installing it, but the installation fails. I have also tried manually putting the apk in my apps folder, also does not work.
Any suggestions? I love the extension separator option and different colors for the background... but I prefer to use Danvd's 4.4.2 GE build.

"Well slims version is a mix from original dashclock + the one which was posted here by syned + our additions lol. Whatever it is not installable due that we have trds and it will only work on ROMs which support that. The hell I did not have time till now to push our changes to Roman. Will try to do it finally next week so roman can decide what he want or not. We tried to keep his style in "our" dashclock."

[REQUEST] AOSP apps package Android L

I've been using the Android L port and I'm loving it. The only problem is that I hate all the official google apps. Plus the ROM only comes with Google photos. I really want to put something together once the ROM is more stable (although it really is good right now) that includes aosp style apps.
Does anyone know where I can get the apps? Can I just pull them from a custom ROM? Or can someone put together a zip that has a few aosp apps? I'm mainly thinking browser, gallery and a file manager, but suggestions are welcome.
EDIT: I was able to pull the apks out of another ROM, I chose the latest (7-20 at time of writing this) CM11 and put the files where they should be /system/app and I changed the permissions to match other files in the same location. Then I rebooted to recovery and wiped both caches. File manager (CM File Manager) and gallery worked fine, I can't figure out browser though. I found an app on the play store that was an AOSP Browser installer and tried that too, but browser keeps crashing on launch. So if anybody knows how to make AOSP browser install please enlighten me.
Thank you.
