I have a Nexus 5 phone that I would like to have Lineage (lineage-14.1-20190126-nightly-hammerhead-signed.zip) and Gaps (open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20220215.zip) installed so that I can use the playstore as needed.
I have tried to follow the instructions on the lineage website to the letter. I wipe, then install lineage, then (before rebooting) I install gapps. That's where I get the error 70 message that there is not enough room on the system partition for gapps to install. I've selected the nano version of gapps (smallest), and I have over 12G of internal storage free.
I've tried this several times, and I always hit the Error 70 when I try to install gapps.
I'd like to get gapps to work, but I would settle for finding some way to sideload or otherwise load Google Play store. I tried installing it as an apk, but apparently it has dependencies (unknown) so I couldn't get it to work - standalone.
Do I have to format the system partition? Resize the partition? Something else?
I hope there is a simple answer to this. All I really want for Xmas, is to get Lineage with playstore working.
Thanks in advance for assistance.
Nano isn't the smallest Gapps package; pico is. Try that, and see if it works.
Side note: The ROM you' re using seems old... If you want to use LOS 14.1, why don't you have a look at the unofficial builds by @razorloves. He has done great work by providing new builds from time to time, with more recent security patches, even though LOS 14.1 is no longer maintained.
Answer is use a gapps.config.txt file to control what gapps get loaded. Worked for me. Case closed!

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!
Newest TWRP. Fresh FULL wipe (if you can wipe it in TWRP, I've wiped it, and rebooted back into recovery).
Install latest CM nightly no problem.
Next in queue is CM's 12.1 arm gapps straight from the source.
It immediately aborts installation with the standard red text "FAILED" error. I've redownloaded and tried several times. Can't think of anything else.
Please help!
EDIT: I guess I'm wondering why it's failing, but more importantly how to get it to stop failing. Other gapps install fine, but I don't want someone's custom package (they're all different!!!!) I just want the one that's made explicitly for CM12.1 because the reason I'm starting from scratch in the first place is things were starting to get buggy and I want the most proper install I can do, right from the start this time.

I don't see how the CM gapps are superior to any other gapps package, they're just stock Google apps. Just use a different package and be done with it.
The links on the CM website are messed up or something. You can use the direct github link to download them.

Really? Look at the package size. Look at the MD5. They aren't the same. And when 100% of the reason for restarting COMPLETELY FROM SCRATCH is to make sure everything is proper, then having half the install not-proper is kind of a big deal.

Thanks. I already used some [Moderator edit: Please don't use profanity here] random gapps package, but at least this is on the internet for the record now, hopefully others will find it useful. This is the second time I've restarted my phone on a serious note this year, and also the second time CM has failed to deliver a working download.

You're just not properly understanding what a gapps package is. Of course the md5 is going to be different. Even just one different letter in the updater script will cause the md5 to be different. You do understand that a gapps package is just a collection of Google Apps that can be (mostly) found on the Play Store, completely untouched (in most cases), and arranged into a flashable zip for convenience, right? They vary in size because different gapps packages contain more or less apps depending on your needs. The CM package contains the exact same apps as any other gapps package, it isn't superior. Extract the package and check the md5 of the Google Play Services app, then do the same thing with the Google Play Services app from another gapps package, it'll be exactly the same (as long as it's the same build number), and this trend will continue for every single apk found in each package.
Hi, I am trying to enjoy AOSP rom, but there is a problem with it.
I first logged out the Google account from sense rom, I installed AOSP rom, the latest Magisk zip and MindTheGapps package at the same time from TWRP, then I reboot.
As you might have known, setup wizard should show me the login screen, right?
First steps are ok, but when it comes to logging in to Google, it just skips the dialog after 10 or 20 minutes later and just shows me the last steps of settings.
When I push 'finish' button in the last step, it sometimes shows me FC of setupwizard or says 'You should login with your Google account because your phone has been logged in with it.'
I presume I may need to do some kind of IMEI registration, would this problem related to such thing?

What rom are you trying to install? Did you format your internal storage? This is a must if coming from a sense based rom. Also, opengapps now supports 8.1 so you may give that a shot. I am on Lineage 15.1 and used the opengapps stock package on a clean install and everything worked fine.

SlimRom with MindTheGapps. Of course, in order to bypass the encryption, I formatted the whole /data/ partition.
Also, OpenGapps does the same. I do not know why...
On a tablet Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 (3G) I installed Lineage OS 14.1, then after I installed the PICO Gapps I realized that the settings screen of the tablet was completely white without any writing .. At this point I tried to reflash from TWRP Lineage but it gave me an error, I then tried to do a factory reset wipe but the automatic startup configuration of lineage crashed, I then tried to make a format given by TWRP and this once android started but I found the gapps and the white screen on settings, how should I do so that I cleanly install the rom in order to solve the problem of the white screen in settings, then trying to install the gapps avoiding that it recurs the white screen problem in settings? Thanks a lot to those who want to help me, I don't know how to solve it.
I tried to do an advance wipe (Davilk, System, Cache, data and internal storage) and then I made a format data, doing so I flashed the rom correctly without errors, immediately after I also installed the pico gapps, thinking that maybe installing them at the same time as the rom that problem of the white screen on settings would not have arisen, while instead nothing has changed unfortunately .. so now I wanted to reflect the rom and try to solve differently with the gapps, but it always gives me error 7 as you can see from screen, the first time it worked facendadvance wipe and formed date now even doing this I always get this error ... the strange thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't ... someone can help me to solve it please?
read here in the post I wrote, practically the first time it worked by reading the guide you gave me and I managed to flash the rom, then I immediately put the gapps back thinking that maybe installing them together with the rom they worked while I always have the problem of the screen white ... so I wanted to reflect the rom without putting the gapps back and then maybe try to install them differently but it gives me the usual error and it does it even if I delete everything as the guide you sent me that the first time had worked ...someone can help me to solve it please?
update, after many tests in the end I managed to flash the rom, there is no explanation, simply trying and trying again it decided to work .. now I have not installed the gapps and the android settings screen I see it correctly ... now what I ask you how can I install the gapps so that I do not create this problem of the white screen in settings? I don't care who knows what google works, I just need the play store I downloaded the PICO gapps from directly from the gapp site by choosing ARM + 7.1 + PICO As you can imagine I would like to avoid finding myself with the same problem again since it is not easy to solve, I am not an expert, so I rely on you .. Thanks a lot to those who want to help me.

Use SD card for installation los zip. And download it again, if you'll still get same error than change TWRP version.

yes I used the sd card to install the rom, I just made a post a few seconds before you wrote saying that you have solved the installation of the rom. Actually I downloaded the rom again, but I don't think this is the cause since a few minutes before the installation of the rom had worked ... then I also tried to transfer the rom file back from the pc to the microsd and it always did not work, as soon as the 'i downloaded again it worked..so i guess it was a coincidence ... Now as I said in the previous post to yours, the problem is how to install the gapps or in any case, even just the play store is okay with me ... I would like to avoid the problem of the white screen in android settings that I had by installing the PICO gapps recur again ... anyway I wrote everything in detail in the previous post ... I hope someone can help me. Thanks

My bee it's gapps bug, this is not the first time to happening this.
I don't use gapps at all, specially not on that prehistoric device. It's laggy and pretty much slow and useless.. I advice you to check AuroraStore (FOSS Google play) on xda forum or install f-droid and search it there.

so the white screen on settings is a problem that has already happened to others with the installation of gapps, the strange thing is that I have seen on tyoutube others who have installed it without problems having the same device .. however if there are alternatives I can do without it.
I installed Aurora store 4.1.1, in the installation procedure I left the checkmarks that were by default and I always went ahead .. right? I did a bit of research to test this new app since I didn't know it .. and I saw that it has everything, but maybe not everything that the play store has, for example the YAP app (by nexi payment) it is not there, while for example on aptoide it is found .. why? From what I understood Aurora store should have all the apps from the play store so it is strange that there is not this one too.

Hey, i've just installed Lineage OS (20.0/Android 13) on my Moto G100 following this tutorial
, but i'm not able to install the Gapps. As soon as i reboot the phone after installing them it keeps reboot (it always shows the Lineage Logo for a couple of seconds and then just reboots). I've tried it with MindtheGapps, BitGapps, LiteGapps and NikGapps, none do work... Does anyone know a solution for that problem?
I was able to install GApps fine, and I used LiteGapps, something that is doing wrong
Thanks for replying, which version of the LiteGapps did you use (Pixel/Nano/basic...)? And which of them includes all the Google Apps?
I installed the Lite version that only has the Play Store, probably the error it is giving is the fact that it has too many GApps on it and the cell phone has a full system partition, so there would be no way to fit more apps inside the system
