Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask but I could not think of anywhere else and I am trying to get the dialler for the LG G3 running CM12.1.
I have used CM11 and CM12 in the past and had a Gapps file that included the Google Dialler with its brilliant caller id included but I am yet to be able to find a gapps file that works with Android 5.1 and was wondering if there was actually one available at all?
I added the Google Dialler to the CM12.1 Gapps file and it installs it but then there is 2 phone icons and diallers, I can then disable the one but I am readying this phone for my mother in law and when updates happen she will not know what to do so would prefer it be a seamless transition.
If someone has a proper Gapps file that has the Google Dialler that would be awesome but failing that I would love to know how to make my own Gapps file properly with it removing the files it is installing, any pointers?

I am planning to flash PA to my old Nexus 7 (Tilapia) without gapps. The idea is to find out whether an Android device can be decoupled from Google. And whether such a device can still be used in a normal day to day scenario for surfing, mail, contacts ...
There are many apps out there which could be used instead of the apps in the gapps package (i.e. play store => f-droid, mail => k-9, chrome => firefox, maps => navit / OsmAnd, ...). And with a simple raspberry pi and owncloud also some of the google services can be replaced by an self hosted solution.
What are your thoughts on this:
- Is this possible in principle with PA?
- What should I watch out for when setting up the N7?
- Any other suggestions?
Of course you can do it. The ROM is functional without gapps

I don't know what it is you should be watching out for when trying your experiment but I believe it can be done. You'll have to use a 3rd party app store to download the apps you want to replace the stock apps with (k-9, etc). But once you start doing that, what's the point?
To prove you don't need to use Google Branded apps? Just root your device, install Titanium and freeze all the google apps. Same thing, right?
Just flashed PA without gapps. Added some great Apps from f-droid. Everything works great. Next steps will be to Conect to a dropbox server.
Currently I am getting a notification that a new system update, a new gapps version is available. Can I somehow disable in PA the check for new gapp versions?
Thanks!

Thanks Pirateghost, just found it.
I am currently running into two issues:
I installed the "920 text editor" via f-droid. But when I try to start it the app it opens for a nearly a second and then a error window says >"920 Text Editor" wurde beendet.< (I am using a German system; translation something like >"920 Text Editor" was stopped.<). Is there a log file which could provide more information why this application was not able to start?
I paired my German bluetooth keyboard (QWERTZ layout) with the nexus. But unlike to stock Android in PA they keyboard is mapped with the American layout (QWERTY layout). So some keys are not inline with the labelling. I did not find a way to change the used layout in the settings. Any ideas?
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.
hoi
is there a way to bring the latest CM12.1 launcher with the vertical appdrawer layout
to CM11 (cm-11-20150901-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO3G1-serranoltexx)?
Have you tried pulling the apk from the ROM and putting it in your own system directory?
pulling the apk ...
yes, i tried.
it gives the error:
Parse Error
There was a problem while parsing the pakage.
i pulled the apk off of CM12.1 with ES File Explorer
when i check the apk on CM11 there is no version number.
on an CM12.1 i can install the package without an error
It's not compatible then. You'll need to find another launcher to suit your needs.
weird...
on both, CM12.1 and CM11, trebuchet.apk has version 1.0 ...
proposals still welcome!
...
where can i look to find info how to
get the CM12.1 vertical launcher layout to CM11
You will need to browse the play store and find a custom launcher with a similar layout. Only other way would be to decompile the apk and change the api level to one compatible with cm11, but that may not work, and personally I wouldn't know how to do this myself. Something to search on XDA.
...
so i hope someone can give an advice. :silly:
maybe others see this question.
untill now, we are just two
one who asks
one who doesnt know
Hi,
in attachments, find and try my 'special' button on Slimlp or another ROMs with RRO support, just charge it in Layer Manager (just fed up with the name of the little apk i let for now)
thanks.
just shared here for all my friends/followers on XDA.
more coming ....
Such a good idea mate.
I've got to hand it to you because you're doing great work here with RRO and community should love you're work. ?

thanks .
How to make RRO on Android Studio

modify GAPPS for M STOCK PIT

i force the script to install this gapps pack on my last tries on CM13 based ROM.
if you want to flash this, before , make sure you have enough space on system.
i saw that LatinIME apk and some other didnt disturb the roms when their are pushed on DATA/APP , at root of folder without their subfloder in system/app or system/priv-app, except for latinIME which you have to let in place the subfolder with libs on system/app/latinIME/lib....
sometimes, depends of M ROMs i tryied, i can have 110Mo free on system, and original open gapps said not enough space on system and stop, with my gapps modify, i can force install and use gapps minimal !
to force install of gapps, i change the end of space.sh script and reload in ZIP.
its known that i dont want to repit my system so i found some ways or research to use gapps again without repit.
the uploaded gapps modify :
gapps-6.0.x-20150112-minimal-edition-signed-space.shSCRIPTforceTO10.zip - 38.72 MB
thanks.

Yes, surely you have. The thing is, even with apks broken during flash, the ROM boot . you need more space on system before flash. Count space free > 100mo on system partition.
Thank you for response what i making for to having more space.
Inbox, Google Maps and others show me the message Update Google Play services to work, This zip is 7.8.99 yet? if I update manually Google Play Services crash
As the title would say, are there any lollipop dialler APKs or something? I can't install it from Google Play since it's not compatible with my version and i don't want to install apps such as KK Dialler or ExDialer :-\ I also searched for APKs but can't find any version that fits my phone's OS (Android 5.0.2, API 21). The reason why I am asking for this is simply because I hate Lagwiz- i mean Touchwiz, and I am replacing original apps one by one (disabling them with root access). But i simply can't find Google dialler (looking for version 2.0 because that's for 5.0 lollipop), so I have thought to ask around here
I hope people with similar issues will find this thread to discuss about this... You can also give me a flashable zip but with some detailed instructions since I have little to no experience with flashing zip files (never did it).
Anyways thank you in advance... :good:
