I installed Lineage without Gapps, I later changed my mind and added Gapps separately (Pico version, so just the Play Store and Services without any other Google Apps).
But now Play Store doesn't show the stock pre-installed apps AOSP that came with Lineage so I don't get any app updates.
Is this normal behavior? Can anyone verify that it's the same for everyone?
For example...
com.android.dialer
com.android.messaging
com.android.contacts
com.android.calendar
com.android.calculator2
org.cyanogenmod.audiofx
org.cyanogenmod.snap
org.lineage.jelly
...and all other pre-installed stock Lineage apps don't appear on the Play Store as installed apps.
Keep in mind that these are not Google apps. they are AOSP apps (except audiofx, snap, and jelly which are from Lineage). For instance there is the com.android.contacts apk and then the com.google.android.contacts apk.
The com.android.contacts apk doesn't even appear when I search for it on the Play Store, not even on my browser, it's like it doesn't exist.
So how does Lineage keep these up-to-date in general? Via it's own OS updates or does someone always need to have Play Store or an app like APKUpdater to stay updated?
Thanks
I think those apps are updated (if needed) in new Lineage builds. One could sideload an updated app if you came across one. I don't think there's anything like the playstore for aosp apps, and they of course won't be available through the google playstore.

So, some versions of gapps seem to be compatible with ART, and others are not. I'm wondering: if I find a gapps build (example: pa_gapps from 11/11/13) that is originally compatible with ART, is it safe to update my apps from the google play store after I load up art? Or am I supposed to keep all my apps the same?
In other words, does updating my apps in the app store change the version/compatibility of the gapps I flash with a rom? Is having the latest gapps build the same as having the most updated version of the apps from the google play store?
I hope I'm making sense :cyclops:
Hi everyone,
I am running the last stable release of cyanogenmod 13.0 on my s4 mini (added the 2016-04-18). I tried to install a navigation app to localize me and potentially use a route planner.
Here is my issue: I downloaded and installed the google maps app using an APK downloader, but this app doesn't work, as it seems to depend on the google play services package. So I tried with other navigation apps from the F-Droid repository: Navit and ZANavi (they are quite similar). But these apps don't work either.
Here is a solution that I found to make them work: I installed the opengapps (http://opengapps.org/). This makes google maps work (it is included), as well as Navit and ZANavi. But the opengapps package comes with a bunch of other app that I don't need and I would like to avoid installing it.
So here is my question: is there a navigation app that I can install on my device, without having to install the google apps package to make them work ? Or by installing a small additional package (free or proprietary) ?
Thanks in advance for you help !

All Google apps should update themselves via play store. As for Google phone, can you find it on play store?
Are you talking about that one?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
the version seems to be 2.5.12_rc9
Anyway it's only for Nexus phone as all other phone use their own dialer and especially all CM rom (that's why you have to add the gapps afterward but that won't replace the dialer).
For other gapps, simply install the biggest gapps package, some google apps can only be updated, that mean if it's not pre installed, you can't install it (the purpose of the gapps). gapps micro lack a lot of google apps so use stock or super.
Edit : ok, simply use the google apps package called "stock"
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Stock-Package
it will replace the dialer, the dialer you want.
have google apps under cm, but dont update the play. if i download from play than will duplicated.
am i right, that just from recovery have to install again the latest open gapps, and will up to date the phone, calculator, all google apps.
gapps will be considered as system app, the version from google play will act as an update.
Am wondering, if we're running the official miui global ROM, can we flash stock open gapps so that the basic apps will be replaced by the Google's ones?
Have anyone tried?
Reason being, to fully utilise Google Assistant, all basic apps (clock, calendar etc) require the Google's ones.
If you're on MIUI Global you should already have Gapps baked into the system.
You won't be able to use Google Assistant without some system mods (a build.prop tweak I think) as that's a Pixel only feature.
If there are any Google apps you're missing, like Calendar, Books, etc. you can install them from the play store, and they'll work seamlessly.
Global Rom 11.0.9.0 rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Using Terminal debloater to gradually get rid of both miui bloat and google stuff.
Has been working ok until after debloating Cleaner, Games, Google Velvet, google One time initializer and google partner set up and google play services and Framework and Play store.
"Downloads" as a heading was in twice as well and took both of them out.
I would not have expected any of these to have stopped that function - anybody have a suggestion as currently cannot actually uninstall those and others?

If your trying to remove all good stuff. Maybe easier to try install a China ROM instead of global. It already has no Google.
Since you are removing playstore and framework, all other Google apps would not function.
And the cleaner app aid closely tied to miui security app, and that can't be uninstalled.

That is the point - I don't want any Google, but I also don't want loads of Chinese tracking instead.
I will probably move soon to a custom rom but wanted to try Miui first for a bit.
I will see if I can reinstall the cleaner although I have read elsewhere it was removed without fuss.

For reference for anyone else who has this issue I did this via the debloater module and lo and behold Uninstall now works........
