[addon][CM7] Updated / More Google Apps [2011-08-15]

[Guest wbaw]

it doesn't matter if you install the Google apps to the system or the data partition. It's just a matter of taste. :unsure:

It matters a lot. As you can see a lot of these apps are quite large & get updated frequently. If they're installed on /system, then the market updates go on /data & the original package stays on system, so you end up using twice as much space as you would if they were on data.

Also, these don't fit on a 138mb system partition, so I get complaints from other people that also want to do it wrong & wonder why it doesn't work.

That's why I recommended to use Titanium Backup's "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" batch, which moves an updated version from /data to /system.

Also, these don't fit on a 138mb system partition, so I get complaints from other people that also want to do it wrong & wonder why it doesn't work.

That is indeed a big problem, CM7 + all apps need a 160 MB system partition.

Before the "Gen2 era" the packages were perfect when using your TPT NAND Backup & Partition Tool or default partition sizes.

Perhaps it is a good idea to only provide an updated minimal package where just the apps which already are already contained in gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip are replaced by new versions...

The very latest Titanium Backup (3.8.1, PRO only) can move any user apps to system rather than just updates. Which is nice. :unsure:

I've been playing with that and some apps didn't work on N41 (I think that's what I'm on...) with GEN1 conversion.

Handcent, FBReader, Opera Mini 6, Flext9, Touchpal all broke permanently (even after move back to user, wipe, uninstall, restore old titanium backups.)

However, lots of stuff did work. Wavesecure, Gapps, edinbus, and I can't remember what else.

PS I just tried the main link http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/...0307-signed.zip and Avast threw up a URL:MAL warning. Is this a false positive?

gapps-gb-20110511-signed causes me Goggles FC on CM7 n72&74 (even after wipe of cache, dalvik, data, system, I tried gapps-gb-20110307-signed, gapps-gb-20110503-signed and gapps-gb-20110511-signed), are you using gapps-gb-20110503-signed files (see http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/) ?

Using gapps-gb-20110503-signed or gapps-gb-20110307-signed + Goggles in market is ok.

Thanks for the feedback. I will have a look into this.

But I probably cannot do it before tomorrow.

A temporary fix could be to delete Googles from gapps-gb-20110511-signed.zip.

What is the size of your system partition? Not that the difference in file size from Goggles 1.3.1 to Goggles 1.4 causes your system partition to run out of space when using the complete package (see wbaw's post a few posts above).

[Guest u116040]

220Mb for system (this)

Btw, where are your files from ? I didn't find for 1/2 of them (I mean comparing GApps packages).

[Guest Nyberg]

Files are updates now...

Do they include the most recent version of Google talk with voice talk?

[Guest Schwinni]

That is more than enough space. I have to look at the package.

I always include the latest version the market offers.

The APKs are directly from my phone then.

[Guest Schwinni]

I found out something interesting concerning Goggles:

I didn't integrate the latest version to system after installation. I just did that now and now it FCs for me too. I have to look if some libs came with the latest version...

[Guest Schwinni]

I searched on the data partition for files which could have been installed together with Goggles 1.4, but didn't find anything.

That's really weird. The error message when starting it from the system partition doesn't point to a missing lib or helper app either:

Process: com.google.android.apps.unveil

I guess the only solution is to take Goggles out of the package...

I diffed the content of data.img (unyaffs) before gapps, after gapps via market and after gapps pack :

\data\data\com.google.android.apps.unveil\lib\libimageutils-new.so

\data\data\com.google.android.apps.unveil\lib\libopticalflow-new.so

\data\data\com.google.android.apps.unveil\lib\libzxing-new.so

are missing (not extracted) when the APK is only copied ; there is 2 versions (arm v6/arm v7) of these libs in the APK.

It seems to explain the error you find (java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError).

Also, \data\data\com.google.android.voicesearch\lib\libvoicesearch.so is missing.

There's maybe other missing files/settings :P .

Thanks for finding the missing libs in the APK.

Indeed, installing them in /system/lib makes Goggles 1.4 work.

I will upload updated files right now.

Also, \data\data\com.google.android.voicesearch\lib\libvoicesearch.so is missing.

libvoicesearch.so comes with the gapps package. :P

Maps was updated BTW

To make goggles work, I copied the ARMv6 libs from the APK to the GApps.zip, then deleted the lib folder from the APK and re-added it

All done with Astro :P

[Guest Nuuna]

Thank you mate :P

[Guest Shieraz Shah]

@iKrautDroid, you may not select Gmail, since it is probably not available for your country-provider combination. You can install all other apps though. After that, install "market enabler" and set your provider to "T-Mobile (us)". Then you'll find Gmail in the market.

thanks for the hint, i just needed the gmail app and could not get it in my app market :-)

muchas gracias :D

[Guest sm4tik]

gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip out for grabs at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/

[Guest Schwinni]

After one month another update - including the brand new Google+.

[Guest Schwinni]

Wow, Google is updating the Google+ app faster than they allow invited people to join... :)

[Guest Schwinni]

Sorry, I pasted the wrong link for the basic package. The link gave you the full package. This is fixed now.

[Guest shadowninty]

Market 3.0;

Here is a flashable .zip I made (only for HDPI devices)

http://db.tt/xsxKtKm

I just brute unsigned it, and added it to an older flashable .zip

Needs ClockworkMod3

Will save around 3MB

Thanks for keeping this up mate, by the way :)

[Guest Schwinni]

Don't ask me why Google didn't raise the version number, but there is a new version 1.0.2 of the Google+ app...

[Guest Schwinni]

I have a question to all users of my packages:

Shall I include the latest market app (version 3.x) or shall I wait until Google makes it also (officially) available outside the US?

Please give me some opinions.

Also tell me if you already tried the new market and had any problems in your country.

Thanks in advance!

[Guest Migun]

If the leaked version is the same that US users have, you should put it :) !

I am using it since the leak, and never had a problem with it (I am in Portugal)
