[Q] How to get GAPPS on chinese smartphone? - Android General

Hey Guys!
I got a chinese A360T with no GAPPS and just can't figure out how to get GAPPS onto it. I already tried serval things like:
- MiMarket and installing Play Store with Serivces -> didn't work
- Pushing them manually onto the Device -> didn't work
- Tried the FireHDX GAPPS thingy -> didn't work
How to get the GAPPS working on a chinese phone?
Thank you in advance!

If this is same as Lenovo A360T, then you should get the whole ROM from NeedRom . From inside the ROM you will get scatter file that you can use in SP Flash tool and flash a TWRP/CWM recovery to it. Then from the recovery you can install the mini-gapps package.
But be careful to find out if this is the same as Lenovo A360T.

TTS not working on Official JB leak

Hi All,
Has anyone gotten TTS on Official JB leak working?
The PicoTTS service "has stopped" when I try to use it. I tried the other Google TTS services and free ones from the market, but none of them work. Has anyone successfully gotten any of these working on the JB leak?
Thanks
Fixed by re-installing gapps for JB 4.1.2. TTS now works (issue was missing system/lib/libpatts.. file, which the gapps package provides.
could you please share the link for gapps?

I'm really sorry for being noob, but how to flash the gapp?
I'm really sorry for being noob, but how to flash the gapp?
I did tried by
1) Fastboot mode, then RSD --> not success
2) Recovery Mode, then flash .zip from SD --> package not signed
3) unzip the gapps file itself and manually copy the file to system/lib/libpatts.. by using Root Explorer (then set permission to the same as all files in that folder) --> TTS still not work.
Thank you!

What recovery are you using? The stock Motorola recovery won't flash gapps, you'll need to install a custom recovery like Boot Menu Manager or the Atrix2 boot strap.
Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
Wow, this is fabulous...

[Q] Mi4 + TWRP + Mokee + Mokee GApps Play Store crashes HELP PLEASE!

Hi,
I wanted to switch from MIUI to Mokee on my Mi4, because I didn't want to wait for Android L on my device any longer. I installed the newest Mokee Rom via TWRP recovery (also newest version) and after a reboot I flashed the official Mokee GApps. Of course I did a full-wipe and facory reset and everything.
>Everytime the Playstore crashes and under Account Settings, there is no possibilty to add a Google account.<
I know, you have to go and check under Mokee Center and extras. I downloaded the GApps there (which are exactly the same as before), but after reboot and flash through TWRP still the same. I tried different GApps Versions like PA Gapps (even the smallest package is too big) and DHO-GApps (could install, but no change), I tried different things like everytime cleaning the Dalvik-Cache before and after and so on, still the same.
I had a little success when I download the Play Services apk manually, but the GApps would crash afterwards. What is the %&$§ing problem?
Thanks for your help!
Thanks for your help, guys! Not.
Do you run out of space with Gapps? Try Slim Zero Gapps (or need to run partition patch).

These probably would have solved that, but I now installed Ivans Lollipop Version and it works like a charm. Thanks for your help anyways!

Play Store doesn't load icons and images

Here's my problem, I've flashed the latest gapps on my m8 and everything works just fine, however, I noticed that play store are not showing images and icons for all the apps. It load just a few of them randomly. And screenshots NEVER loads.
I still can download and update things.
For reference, I checked the " Hosts " file and this came up on the top:

64.233.188.102 smtp.gmail.com[...]
It happens both on WiFi and mobile data.
Already performed a "clear data" in both play store and Google play services, sign-out from my play store account, wipe dalvik/data via recovery. Etc.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a rom based on the stock sense's lollipop
There's really any significant changes.
My model is the Chinese one (M8t) if that matters.
When I flashed the gapps using the original rom it didn't happened, however, it was the FULL gapps, containing a lot of bloat. This time around I used a minimal package, containing only the essential for play store to work (play services etc).
Thanks.

ok so there is two ways
1- the flashing process didn't go well
2-gapps problem
actually i use minimal gapps for android 5.1.1 and i don't have any problems
so you have the following to do :
1- re-flash the ROM and then reboot ..let your phone settle down..reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvick cache then flash the minimal gapps
2-reflash the minimal gapps without the re-flashing the ROM ....(over-write the gapps again )
if both ways didn't work for you i recommend you change the GAPPS (maybe try delta gapps or get back to full )
good luck man

Thanks mate.
It's weird because I can't find Google+ through the play store , my Play games account doesn't connect.
My gapps package wasn't downloaded from xda, maybe that's the problem.
Could you link me to the one you're using?

5.0.2... And, nope, didn't work.
it still doesn't load icons an screenshots... I need serious help here. This is the only rom that works on my m8, since I don't have the RUU for it
Someone must have a solution for my issue. It should be something related to the "Hosts" file inside System>Etc.
Guys, don't let me in the dark.
Hmm. I al so get this problem but on 4.1.2 JB . There is way how to solve iy. Just go to setting. Go to wifi. Tap on your wifi and choose modify network. Tap advance optins. Choose static. And adjust your dns2 to 4.4.4.4 and the other one is 8.8.8.8 . Try to swap this two if this not working.

cm 13 - unfortunately setup wizard has stopped

Device - OnePlus One
Problem 1 ->
Ive tried to flash latest cm13 and gapps zip file
ROM - cm-13.0-20151127-NIGHTLY-bacon.zip
Gapps - open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20151127.zip
I did the following:
1. Copied ROM and gapps to device
2. Installed twrp v2.8.7.0
3. Rebooted to recovery
4. Wiped system,cache,dalvik cache
5. Install -> ROM and gapps
6. Wipe cache/dalvik
7. Reboot device.
When the phone starts, i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps.." , and once the optimizing part completes then immediately im getting error - "Unfortunately, Google App has stopped"
If i select "ok", it pops up again.
Im unable to use my device since the error message doesnt go away.
Problem 2 -
I got tired of trying to get cm 13 and decided to revert to cm 12.1
I followed all the above mentioned steps for flashing using cm 12.1 ROM
Now the ROM and gapps are flashed but when the phone starts, it goes through the process - "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", once that completes the screen goes blank.
On restarting the device, again i get "Android is upgrading - optimizing apps..", and once again the screen goes blank.
Problem 3 -
This ones not that bad actually.... I followed the above steps and just flashed cm13 ROM and didnt install gapps.
Now the device boots up.
Ive downloaded and installed Play store apk.
Then i installed the latest google play services apk
Now im getting the error "Unfortunately, Google play services has stopped"
How do i proceed now??
I have no idea what to do now.
Plz Plz help.
Thanks in advance
I am going through the exact same problem on the exact same device with the exact same versions of update file and gapps zip file.
After almost trying to search any possible solution to it on google and xda, I gave up and tried to solve it myself by looking into the phone itself. There wasnt much I was able to do because of the Crash Loop saying "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped". So to rest the situation for now, I somehow went into Setting > Apps > Show System > Setup Wizard with setting logo and not the Cynogen Logo one! And Force stopped it.
Also, I cant open my home on the phone either. I press the home button and the Setup Wizard starts to crash again!
Its painful to see your beloved phone struggle to work like that! I sometimes hate CynogenMod for their nightlies and wish I could go back to the stable versions of Oxygen or CM 12!
ok so how many gapps packages have you guys downloaded and tried? Ar you tryig each time with the same gapps and rom that is giving you issues
1. Did you make Nandroid Backup of your stabe phone ?
If yes. Flash that and you'll get working phone again.
2. Gapps package you guys are installing are meant for Lollipop or Marshmellow ?

Initially, I thought its just an update. So there wont be any need to install Gapps back again. But then The Play store kept crashing. So I rebooted my phone after cleaning Google Play Services and Play Store.
That didn't help. Then Found somewhere written that the issue might be caused by corrupt Gapps or incompatible Gapps, So tried installing The Gapps downloaded from OpenGapps. There I downloaded all the versions of it from , Stock to nano and pico. None of them helped. The Phone is still crashing saying The Setup Wizard has stopped. Can't open Home Screen Either. Can't open Keyboard either.

Have you tried CM12.1 again ? May be resurrection remix rom ?
Try flashing the CM12.1 rom again .. If you are able to access recovery then use can also use USB-OTG ..
Download ROM, Firmware and Opengapps of Lollipop and try ..

Wiped the whole phone off including data reinstalled cm 13 (latest nightly i.e 28112015) and added the opengapps nano package to the flashing zip que in twrp solved the problem

I've installed cm12.1 and gapps 5.1 nano.
Now the device is working properly...earlier when i was trying to flash cm12.1 (as ive described in Problrm 2) , probably i was using a wrong version of gapps/ROM (im unsure which one)
Thanks for your suggestion Abhinav.
Im going to stick with cm12.1 for a while now till cm13 is tested a bit more. Im sure that if we get a solution for cm 13 issue, many users would be benefited.
Once again, thank you for your support, ur doing a fabulous job XDA.

Found a solution!
Looks like the Gapps from Opengapps werent compatible with the 6.0 Marshmallow yet.
I spent a day looking for different gapps and tried them all on my phone.
The only gapps file which worked with CM13.120151128 update for the oneplus one was this one -->
But before installing this, In TWRP you need to Go to Wipe>Advanced Wipe And select > System, Data, Dalvik and Cache to wipe everything from your phone. Then Fresh install CM13.120151128 and Slim Zero gapps you downloaded from the above link!
All Of this, only if you want to really run your phone with Android 6.0 Marshmallow!

After a lot of trying i finally managed to solve this setup wizard error by using the following steps. Without doing any clean wipe.
you have to be very patient and try to do the steps in between the clicks on the error OK button.
Go to Settings from notification drawer. APPS-- Click on 3 dots on the right top... select system apps.
Select setup wizard, one without CM logo.
And instead of blocking notifications from it, provide it complete access in permissions. I believe it needs access to contacts and telephone
This solved the trick for me.. I have no details to how this solves the error. You may give it a try.. Good luck.

From what i had seen, this case occurs when you didn't do a proper flash along with gapps. Make sure you flash the desired rom and with it the correct gapps package at a single stretch. Then Wipe Dalvik Cache and Reboot.
So just do a dirty flash and gapps.
I am not sure why you are not able to access your phone when TWRP is on. For me I had that option, copied the new zip files when in TWRP screen and started flashing from there.

You could try what is described here ... or test with the following:
Disable the Setup Wizard form your PC with
Code:
adb shell pm disable com.google.android.setupwizard
It should display: Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: disabled
Then you can follow the first steps of @maxpayne1989 's description. Of course you won't see the setup wizard because it is disabled. After enabling it again with
Code:
adb shell pm enable com.google.android.setupwizard
(should display Package com.google.android.setupwizard new state: enabled)
you can select it and try setting the permissions.

GApps for Galaxy S6 SM-G 9200

Has anyone had success in getting google play store / gapps running on the Chinese SM-G 9200 with Android 6.0.1?
Flashing gapps in TWRP fails due to insufficient available storage, all kind of installations i tried (rooted / unrooted) are just leading to crashing google services framework. I set the maximum permissions including change of system settings in the app config. No success.
Anyone had success? Or can extract the google packages from another S6 to test if i can install?
I had success but the path is everything else than straightforward and i would call it a dirty hack and i do not give any guarantee that this will work and not brick your phone.
1. Flash firmware CHC-G9200ZCU2DPL1-20170105164838 with Odin
2. Install TWRP (i used 3.0.0.0). This will result in boot-loop
3. Re-Flash the firmware above
4. Boot up the phone, should work now
5. Restart into TWRP, install SuperSU (i used 2.46)
6. Boot up the phone
7. Use Root Explorer to free up some system space to install gapps. (I deleted the Chinese apps in /system/preload which should give sufficient space but deleting might have side effects)
8. Download pico arm64 Android 6 gapps from opengapps
9. Boot into TWRP, install gapps
10. Boot up the phone. Play store should be there, you can open but i was not able to login
11. I downloaded the Google Installer_2.0.apk typically used for Xiaomi phones and run the app. It will update ServicesFramework, Install Loginmanager and fail with Playstoreservices, but this is fine. Probably it is just sufficient to install the Loginmanager, did not try that.
12. Re-boot the phone. Now It should work fine
