[GAPPS][5.1.X][5.0.X][4.4.X] Open GApps for Stock - Android General

Introducing Open GApps for Stock
This package aims to help everyone that wants to integrate updates to the GApps into their ROM without the risks of Titanium Backup.
It was originally a fork of the work of TKruzze and it's now part of the Open GApps project.
Some things changed from the old PA GApps package to accommodate the installation on stock ROMs. The largest part of the changes is not visible to the user, but I would like to list them here:
• All the libchrome libs from /system/lib and /system/lib64 are now removed.
• The sizes of the apps are now directly measured from the zip, thus resulting in a more accurate estimation of the occupied space.
• The Google Email client (the one that became a stub following an update on the Play store) will be removed if Gmail is going to be installed.
• Android System WebView has been added to the Stock package.
The gapps-config functionality is still here and can be used to exclude some apps or to reduce the package to a smaller size.
GApps for Stock joined the Open GApps project and became Open GApps for Stock
It's just like the standard Open GApps stock package with the added ability to flash over Stock ROMs. This new package is called "fornexus" and is intended to use on Nexus devices with Stock ROMs from Google. Open GApps for stock is now included in the main code of the OpenGApps project, so you can now flash the stock package or smaller ones directly on your Nexus device. The compatibility with other ROMs is not guaranteed, but you can ask for help here (and not in the Open GApps thread) providing the debug logs (found in the same folder of the ZIP file) and I can tell you if your problem derives from a complete incompatibility or can be solved by me.
Download available now! (Post #3)

FAQ:
Some Frequently asked Questions about the Open GApps package can be found here. If you don't find your question in the FAQs, you can post it here and you will be answered.
This post will be populated with the time as questions arise.

Thanks to the joining with the Open GApps project, this package is now available for both arm and arm64 devices, from Android 4.4 KitKat to Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Download:
You can find the latest version from the website OpenGApps.org
You can download now any package and if a Stock ROM is detected, it will switch to the "for Stock" mode.

Gapps for Stock 20150501 released
Changelog:
• The package has been tested (on my Nexus 5 using gapps-config to reduce the size) and all went fine. I can say it's safe to install.
• Google Play Music updated to version 5.9.1853R.1893462
• Google Play Newsstand updated to version 3.4.0 (2015040709)
• Google App (Search) updated to version 4.5.13.19.arm
• Maps updated to version 9.8.1

So are these gapps only for version 5.0.1? They will not flash on 5.1.1.

Yes, 5.0 only, 5.1 version will come out in the near future.

Bravo cumpà
A few suggestions:
- Mega.co.nz links are quite hard to download from smartphone (you need the app, it doesn't work using the browser)... I suggest to use androidfilehost instead
- Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071 ... maybe you can join efforts and create a team

hi nice work
does it also contains 64bit apps

You don't need the app. Just enable "request desktop site" in Chrome settings.

hi!
great idea, finally!
i tried the stock_gapps-5.0.1-20150529 package on stock OnePlus cm12S latest official rom, and have FC on both gmail and calendar just after boot... attach logs...
as i was on a different gapps package, i've done what usually needs to be done:
wipe cache+dalvik+system
flashed stock rom+gapps (+kernel, mooab and supersu)
wipe cache+dalvik again

The problem is that your ROM includes some GApps in non standard paths and you now have Google Calendar and Gmail installed two times in /system. Can you test if also Google CloudPrint is crashing while I build and upload the new package?

never activated it, even if installed, but the constant FCs were of gmail and calendar... i can't try now, passed 2 hours in testing and now battery is gone and charging
do you plan to fix this, if you can? Other gapps packages don't install at all or i've to remove many apps because they fill the system partition (even if i successfully flashed about EVERYTHING using your package)...

GApps are meant to be installed on top of AOSP ROMs that do not include already some of the Google Apps. Your ROM is not an AOSP ROM, but my package is meant to be installed on top of Stock ROMs, that already include GApps. The problem is that your ROM not only includes some GApps, but they're also in the wrong location, and installing a GApps package would bring to conflicts. I updated my package to remove the GApps installed in your ROM too, so that there should be no more FCs. Also you'll gain another 34MB of space to include even more GApps to your config (you don't have to exclude TalkBack and Messenger anymore if you want). The updated package is currently uploading and will be available tomorrow or later today, depending on your timezone.

thanks a lot, you're great! There's no other packages that allow to keep gapps in rom updated in stock roms that already have them, like OPO cm12s...
i didn't remove those apps for lack of space (there are STILL 136mbs free, even though i flashed the big STOCK package and other personal stuff like franco kernel, mooab adblocker, maxxaudio and supersu, too)... i removed talkback because don't use it, and messenger because i use hangout, instead
what do you think of EMAIL? in stock rom it's named EMAIL, but it's really BOXER, the email client made by cyanogen and released as full app just for OPO... do i have to explicit put a line like "+Email" in config or it's left untouched, as email is the stub for the old email client made by google?
tomorrow i'll download and flash your new gapps package, thanks again!

Boxer will not be removed and +Email is unnecessary. However I added the Boxer keyword to remove the CM Email client if someone wants to.

If you have already installed your ROM and have been using it for a while, you may also try this more convenient way to move updated apps from /data/app to /system/app if you have Titanium Backup installed :

TB will move it from /data/app to /system/app
or you could manually move the files with Linux commands.. both options, IMHO and no offense whatsoever to the effort put in to these packs, are better than waiting for update zips.. use the market as it was intended

Thanks to Carig for providing the above procedure
-------------------------------------------
By the way. It's easy to make an update package by yourself!
Here are the steps that I used:
1. Download any gapps update pack
2. On your phone, update Google apps
3. Find your updated google apps' APK files in /data/app, copy & paste them onto your SD card
4. (optional) if you Want to immediately apply your update pack after making it, uninstall updates of all your updated Google apps from Market
5. copy updated APKs from your SD card to your computer
6. use any Zip file manager (e.g. 7-zip, a free one), open the old Google apps update package (the zip file)
7. Carefully re-name your downloaded APKs to the names in the update package (e.g. rename com.google.android.gm-1.apk -> Gmail.apk)
8. copy and paste your new APK files into the Zip archive
9. (optional) sign your package, using Zip Signer (freeware on Android Market) or using this tutorial:

Thanks man, it's so useful to me everytime I flash a nightly : )
Thanks a lot!
Thanks very useful
thankyou very much
I would love to see a program which can work with exchange Group adress lists. That together with a nice email widget is moving me towards sense all the time.
Good Stuff! Thanks
what abt market?
If it's not already on /data, will this move it?
Prob a stupid question...
What if we already have GApps installed and we don't want to wipe?
Maps 4.7 is out.
Thanks guys, new pack is now up, including updated Maps, soundback and Terminal Emulator, rebased on CM's gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip.
This update package will not automatically remove updates which you already done in Market, but it's easy to remove them. Just go to Market and "uninstall updates" to all your updated system apps.
I'm currently learning how to make update script, I hope I'll implement that feature later.
Thanks for your work, I'll keep an eye on this thread too

Now I'm on holiday so I'll give them a try I'm very new to Android development.
I had few problems with the Terminal Emulator, I can not simply replace AndroTerm.apk with newer version, it will force close if doing a clean installation (flash rom then immediately flash the update package)
I'll look into this problem....

[Q] Inverted Gapps Questions

I am on CM10 with standard gapps. Can I flash an inverted gapps over the standard gapps without wiping? Will I still be able to update gapps through the play store or do I have to wait for someone to upload updated inverted gapps?
Yes you can wipe standard gapps without wiping. I flashed Contacts and MMS from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-in...-10-13-gmail42-play-store-google-youtube4123/
When you update gapps, it will probably overwrite the inverted gapps, so you would have to flash the inverted again. There aren't many official gapp updates anyways. Anytime there is a CM10 update, you need to reflash. Also obviously, if in the play store has an update, and you update - when your reflash, it will be exactly the same as the previous inverted mms you have or whatever inverted app, and won't have any of the updates/bug fixes that the play store version had.
An example is there is a new gmail coming out soon. If you update from the play store, you will get the new gmail, with the stock look. When you reflash inverted gapps, you will get the same inverted gmail you had before and not have the new features of gmail like pinch zoom and swipe to archive until the person who created the inverted gapps updates it.
Also just curious, what gapps are you going to flash?
Flashed with these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292
So far so good
it includes the new play store and gmail 4.2.
I should have read more closely and seen that it had some junk with it miui music player for example. Nothing esfile explorer can't remove though.
It also removes some market restrictions at the expense of automatic updates but I'm not too worried about that since I usually end up updating manually before google slowly pushes out the update.
I already cleared the old apps from my app list, best addition to 3.9.16 market.
I take that back ran into a few problems with apps crashing. Maybe not such a good idea.

[DEV][TOOL] Shadow53's Flashable Zip Builder

Making flashable zip files for Android devices can be… frustrating.
For those who have never tried, here are some of the more irritations:
You use a very limited scripting language called edify to write your install scripts. So limited, that some people replace the binary (update-binary) used to parse the script (updater-script) with a normal shell script that performs the installation instead. What’s the point of having update-binary and updater-script, then?
Any app installed to /system/ with bundled libraries in the apk need to have those libraries extracted in order to not crash.
Various system files need to be created to grant certain permissions to apps by default, and you need to know the syntax of each one (usually some dialect of XML).
If the correct permissions are not set on an installed file, it can cause the system to bootloop.
The Solution:
I’ve created a program in Go that reads entries from a configuration file and builds a flashable zip for you, while taking care of the implementation for you. The name is simple: Zip Builder.
Features:
Configuration files can be written in JSON, YAML, or TOML.
Supports Android versions since 5.0 Lollipop
Automatic generation of updater-script and an addon.d persistence script.
Automatically extracts libraries from apps being installed under /system/.
Can specify different file or app sources for different versions of Android and/or CPU architectures. updater-script will only install the files for that particular system.
Validate downloaded files with md5, sha1, and/or sha256.
F-Droid interoperability: Specify the repo URL and app’s package name, and zip-builder automatically gets the rest of the app’s information from F-Droid’s repository, including a download link for the latest version of the app.
Remove any files you specify, e.g. apps that you are replacing with your own version or apps/files you just don’t want on your system.
Standalone binaries available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Android binaries (to use in a terminal app) coming soon.
Linux binaries may be usable with Termux on Android, though this is not tested or supported.

I'm currently working on polishing up a new release of a different project of mine, then I'll have time to look it over.
Per your PM, though, you said busybox wasn't in the location that the zip assumed it was. Can you search through your system and tell me which directories contain either busybox or toybox? (I believe busybox was found in two different folders when I flashed Lineage before)

I had a little bit of time to flash a beta Oreo ROM for my phone and had no issues with things getting copied to my system correctly. If busybox is in the location that the script expects it to be, it's not obvious what the problem is.
The log you gave me seems to show that it mounted your system and data partitions correctly, detected that a folder did not exist, and then exited normally.
Have you tried an updated zip recently? A little while back I had the script output the found values for Android version and CPU architecture. It's possible it got fixed along with whatever I was working on at the time.
Re-downloaded microg.zip from @Shadow53's page. Now it works as expected.
Pushed a commit that should hopefully fix the issue @marcdw reported in the MicroG thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...y-services-t3217616/post74531435#post74531435
@marcdw, I rebuilt the zips with a build containing the fix. Can you confirm that the libraries are now loading correctly? Things are working on my end, except for the patched Play Store requiring a reboot before working.
@rottenwheel do you really mean xposed? I have the impression magisk gets more attention.
@Shadow53,
I had actually edited the updater and add-on.d scripts to use the short names on most of your zips and all was good.
After work I'll start anew using your rebuilds. ?

As read on the microG thread:
Although XDA community and most Android modders tend to side with Xposed-based solutions, I need to emphasize this is not the absolute case. I rather to stay away from it as much as I can, because it's given unstability to my devices as soon as I start tinkering with some modules; as soon as I get it removed from my setup, bugs are gone. I don't want to engage in unrelated discussions here, I just wanted to let you know your zip solutions have been working like a charm and many of us will miss if you lose enthusiasm about it. Keep it up and rocking. Thanks to you, getting microG onto our handsets is easier.

NanoMod is optionally a Magisk module and has nothing to do with Xposed, though I appreciate the sentiment.
*If* I were to lose interest in this project or in providing scripts, the code for the zip-builder is open source and contains the build recipes I use for all of the zips I provide, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to pick up if they wanted to.
That said, I have no intention of stopping providing zips any time soon, though development on the zip-builder itself is slow because university is keeping me busy. I use my zips too, so I gotta be at least a little invested

Howdy sir. My apologies for not getting back. Work got in the way.
The zips work perfectly. I setup two ROMs on my Axon 7 with microg-playstore, no-gapps, and hacker. Not a single hiccup with the included apps or Play Store. All is good.
Must say again, I like the apps included in no-gapps.zip. Most of those I use and have to get manually from F-Droid.
Perfect with Dark ROM which has no apps or launcher and thus no worries of duplicate functionality (like two cameras, two calendars, etc.).
I see Firefox has replaced Lightning. Haven't used Firefox since v28 so I get to see what the new one is all about.

Awesome. Been looking into how to get F Droid and Micro G plus most other things to work for my sm-g900p!
Really not liking the way Google has been going.
So looking into HOW to get that this to work for me.
From what I had seen so far....
PLEASE keep working on this!!
Thank you Shadow 53!

I'm glad to hear that it's working for you. I'll be posting a new release on GitLab around the end of the week (yay finals...)
Regarding the no-gapps zip, most included apps also remove the AOSP equivalent if present, with a couple exceptions such as Silence for SMS not removing the default SMS app and Firefox not removing the built-in browser, both to avoid potential issues.

Development of the zip builder is stalled right now, largely due to time. It works great for what I need at the moment, but I will work on bug fixes for things that come up. The zips are rebuilt every week by a cron job on the server, though packages containing the official Play Store may not get updated if opengapps updates their version (which changes the URL). I try to catch that, but I don't always have time to check.
I'm considering putting together a comprehensive gapps removal zip that should remove as much trace of Google as possible from the device, including any application data. That will take some investigation, though, and so it shouldn't be expected soon. If/when it comes, it'll largely be for removing installations by opengapps and Beans gapps, as I can't account for all differences between OEMs.
Hey no worries about updates being "stalled"!
I know what your going though believe me. Can be such a frickin headache!!! Not to mention anxiety that some poeple get this time of the year!
AM certainly glad to hear that you are still somewhat working on it though. Plus frim what I can see, this has not been out long, so I don't thing others may even know about it!
I believe they will!!!
Running paid apps having a license verification at runtime
I installed a recent LineageOS for microG (build date 11/29) on my Samsung Tablet SM-T800 (chagallwifi) and added root by flashing the zip provided by LineageOS.
I first tried Yalp Store (version 0.29, downloaded from fdroid), but then figured out that I cannot use any paid apps that make use of a license validation at runtime. However, there are some paid apps that I require.
I did some reading and it seems like the installation of the original Google PlayStore is a solution.
So here are my questions:
1) Can I get paid apps running when I install the original PlayStore as a system app following the procedure described on the blog shadow53 (sorry, cannot post the link cause I am a new user, but it is easy to find when searching for 'shadow53 android downloads')?
2) Is there anything I have to do in addition to flashing the PlayStore zip?
3) Does flashing the original PlayStore give rise to any conflict with the FakeStore that comes installed as part of microG? If so, how do I remove the FakeStore?

1. Yes, you will be able to check licenses at runtime with the Play Store installed.
3. Yes, they use the same package name, so having both apps installed causes a conflict. Depending on where the FakeStore is installed, the Play Store zip may recognize where it is and automatically remove it for you. You will see some output while flashing, something like "Deleting existing file /system/priv-app/Phoneksy" if it was discovered (file path may be different).
If it does not automatically remove FakeStore, find the directory it is installed in and delete it, then on next boot modify the playstore addon-d script to delete that directory. You should see where and what to change when you open the file. If you do not make this change,
2. You may have to manually remove FakeStore with the above process. You should also look at https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/faq/playstore-not-loading/ regarding other gotchas with getting the Play Store running and https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/faq/playstore-incorrect-signature/ if you use the patched version of the Play Store.

Whether addon.d stuff works depends on the ROM. Some ROMs have a backup feature during flashing but a lot do not. Does LOS support addon.d backups?

After installing the microG Lineage fork on my own device to test, I realized that the Play Store zip marks FakeStore as something to remove on initial installation, but not across system updates. The addon.d script doesn't re-remove FakeStore.
Try downloading the latest version of the zip and installing it. FakeStore should stay uninstalled now.
In other news, I've decided to make my no-gapps zip into multiple, similar to the various OpenGapps zips. This means a larger selection of open source apps that can be installed, including some more replacements for AOSP apps. I'm working through a couple bugs right now potentially related to these zips, then I'll add an update with more details.

[App][Google Phone Contacts Messages Apps][Flashable][Arm32][Arm64][Android 6.0+]

Google Dialer/Phone Contacts Messages apps flashable zip as system apps which replaces stock(AOSP) phone contacts & messages apps.
When you don't like stock(AOSP) phone/dialer contacts & messages apps, don't want to install separate Google apps and don't want to install aroma opengapps, here is tge solution. This flashable zip replaces stock (AOSP) phone, contacts & messages apps & replaces them with respective google apps.
If there are multiple phone & messages apps installed in your phone, you need to manually select default apps for phone & messages. (Default apps can be found in settings/apps/settings/default apps)
Note: Apps are unmodified, taken from Apkmirror website.

Latest available nodpi apps from APKMIRROR.
As google phone, contacts & messages apps are working perfectly as user apps, I think no need to flash them as system apps.. but then stock phone, contacts & messaging apps get useless & annoying if google apps are used... So in reality we need to only disable or deactivate or remove those stock apps. Now magisk is nice way to hide system apps.. also i found out a way to hide those stock apps without deleting them from their place...
So.. soon I'm going to upload those zips.. they are tiny zips & functionality wise universal compatibility with both arm 32/64 devices..

[ARM64][GApps][1st Feb 19][8.1.0/9.0]After Flash 4.0/NikGApps

Hi Everyone,
Okay, Let's come to the point.
We all flash Roms on frequent basis. After we flash any Rom, we flash Gapps, our favorite Kernel, Magisk (to root) and Favorite fonts, bootanimations, ringtones, apps like Launchers, File Managers, etc and many times we delete the bloatware when we never use them.
Having to flash all these files, we end up maintaining several zip files in several directories of our phone. Many times we get confused with the order of execution and end up messing things.
This starts to become a headache when you have to look for each file and follow a proper order. Especially when you're a flashaholic like me.
Here, with the help of my tool and Aroma Installer. I present you my After Flash zip which I use to flash everything from a single zip after I flash a rom.
Be it Kernel or Magisk, fonts or bootanimations, Everything in one zip. Exciting. Isn't it?
What it includes?
Bare minimum (and latest version of) google apps to run play store.
Facelock and Google Camera (with Google Lens and Portrait mode support)
Magisk to root
7 mido kernels to choose from
Android Boot animation (will add more as per user requests)
Google Sans font, Made Evolved Font (will add more as per user requests)
Several Ringtones and Notification tones (the ones I like)
Best Chosen System apps
Choice of deleting several bloatware (those we don't normally use)
Reset Password in recovery when system fails to recognize the fingerprint/password
Addon.d support (this will preserve the installation of files that you selected in aroma across multiple roms)
If you like the idea kindly press 'Submit to Xda Portal'. If nothing, that'll encourage me somewhat. Thanks!
Note:-
"Core" Gapps include minimum apps required to run playstore
"Basic" Gapps include Core + Google Camera + Facelock
"Full" Gapps include Basic + few more google apps which we use in day to day life
Packages starting with "AF" contains Gapps, Kernels, Magisk, etc files
Can't wait to check it out? Here ->

Instructions

Be careful while choosing include/exclude in aroma installer.

Yup, if people find it useful, I'll release pie gapps soon. Everything else from the package works on pie anyway, except for gapps.

For Kernel, if choose include more than one. What kernel be installed? Sorry for bad english,, btw nice job! Wait for update :fingers-crossed:

Actually the screenshot in post #2 shows options to flash multiple kernels, when I tried that myself, I ended up flashing all the kernels one after the other and the last one was flashed eventually.
This is not right so I made changes in my tool to only allow 1 kernel to be flashed.
Flash the zip, you would only be able to choose one kernel at a time. No include/exclude options.
I'll update the screenshot in #2 post later on.

If you wish to be able to uninstall what you installed, uncheck when you are on addon.d screen, that'll not preserve your changes when you will flash the ROM again.
Flash the ROM again, that will Uninstall everything.
I'll give it a shot!

Please consider adding calander sync option for gapps
