there is in the amon ra 1.7.0.1 an option in backup/restore that says something like: backup google files.
restore google files
what does this options means?
thank you.
Doesn't it say Google Apps? I would assume that if you had previously used the backup option before installing a Gapp-less ROM it would restore them.
can you please tell me what apps are included in this saying(google-apps)?
thank you very much.
Market, gmail, voice, car home etc. You could probably live without all of them except market.
I think it stems from googles cease & desist to cyanogen. They approve of developing custom rims on their platform, but objected to cyanogen including their closed source software in his roms, so a raw cyanogen rom never comes with gapps pre-installed.
thank you!
I installed one of the custom roms (could be cyanogenmod7 beta) for Wildfire 1-2months back, and come across a very handy app/tool, where I can sync contact with my older phone via bluetooth. To do that, i dont even have to select all the contacts from my older phone and send it to my Wildfire. I only have to pair it and connect, select the phone model that im using and press ok, and see it magically sync the contacts over from my Sony Ericsson K610 to my Wildfire.
But the rom wasn't stable, so I restored the original rom back to my phone. I couldnt remember what the app was called, or is it a build in function/tool for stock Android rom? Recently I install the stable version of Cyanogenmod 7 and couldnt find this tool anymore, been searching all around android market and Google too but to no avail.
Anyone come across this wonderful bluetooth contact syncing app/tool?
It's a feature present in the Stock ROM's. It's called Data Transfer (Or simply Transfer, can't remember exactly)
EDIT: Transfer Data, thanks to this YT video.

THANKS! thats what i was looking for, how come this wasnt bundle with Cyanogenmod 7
By the way, where can i get this app?
Its an HTC App, so it wont be bundled with CM.
If you specifically want to use this app, you will have to get a Sense ROM.
Or, you can use one of the many PC Apps which can backup your contacts from your K610 and import them into your Wildfire. (Including the SE Suite which is included on your disc)
EDIT: Someone has posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970907
Although it will probably not work with CM7, you can still give it a try.

The custom sense ROM i used previously doesn't comes with Transfer Data. probably being removed by the ROM developer. Anyway thanks for the info, the TransferData.apk in the link you posted earlier is not workable, with error message "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES"
In that case, just use a SAFE RUU. They are untouched Releases, with only the Radio and Updated Bootloader Removed.
Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807983
Or, you can install WildPuzzle. It definitely has that installed. (Just checked its install ZIP)
When I installed nAa's port recently published for our Mini Pro's, I noticed there was no way to use Market, register a Google account, or use any of the Google services that comes by default on most ROM's. This is because Google Apps are protected by copyright, so Cyanogen decided to wipe them from their official ROM. This can be easily solved by flashing them, and although this is very simple and easy, I found that there isn't much talking about this. Also, I saw there was some people asking and getting no answer, so I'd like to share this. Yes, flamers, even if it is REALLY easy or whatever you may say.
First of all, click this link. Here, you will always have the lastest version of the package, so don't worry about the dates. Then, scroll down and click the Download link, like this:

Note: Ignore the other downloads. EDIT: Unless you want other versions of Android. In that case, go to the bottom of this post.
You will get a file called "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip". Well, just flash that (Install as any other Custom ROM -DON'T WIPE-) and then, when you turn on the phone, you will get the default setup where Google configures your account and download Google Apps such as Market.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Times goes on, and technology advances at insane ratios. Ice Cream Sandwich's CyanogenMod version is here, and so are its Google Apps. We, on the X10 Mini Pro community, have actually the option to install ports of this great Android mod on our phones thanks to the awesome developers we have. Some of us, like me, still decline to use CM9 or ICS ports (In my case, because of the awesome stability and every-day use of the Gingerbread ROMs out there), and thus you should know:
-If you are going to use an Ice Cream Sandwich(4.x) ROM, you should download the CyanogenMod 9 Google apps version.
-If not, if you still preffer to use a Gingerbread(2.3.x)-based environment, download the CyanogenMod 7 Google apps version, the one on the screenshot above on this post.
*I don't know your reasons, but if you would like to keep using an even earlier version, I'll list them for you:
Froyo(2.2) ROM, CyanogenMod 6 (Tiny version for our Mimmi -x10 Mini Pro-) is for you.
Eclair(2.1) is CyanogenMod 5 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Donut (1.6) is CyanogenMod 4 (Tiny version for Mimmi)
Read ALL in nAa first post in MiniCM7 Rom thread. Look at instructions.

Lol, market xd Not all GApps are on that package, just the basic ones. Every other Google App you need, you should download it from the market individually.

Describe in detail your problem so I can add it to the main thread c:
I have a bit of a n00b side question i'm afraid. I've flashed a ROM which I love but how do I selectively flash gapps, the Nexus 4 comes without the native calendar, email etc apps, but if I flash the latest gapps these are flashed back onto the device (obviously). What is the best approach get this ROM with the latest Google services apps and not AOSP apps, I want Chrome, Camera, Calendar etc. Should I just not flash gapps and use Titanium back and backup user + system apps or just flash the ROM and then download them from the play store?
Thank you nico, Now i understand why gapp exists!

I followed instructions from a youtube video and installed CyanogenMod 9 on my HTC explorer. Before that I rooted my phone and wiped out factory cache, dalvik cache etc. I also installed one of the gapps-ics-xxxxxxxx-signed.zip (do not remember the datestamp) in the recovery mode by selecting the zip file from mounted USB storage card. Now how should I get back my backed up apps/data and google play to install more ?
N.B.; I took back up using Titanium Backup prior to taking all these steps.
Thanks in advance for any help in this regard.

Thanks Nico,
Almost 2 years later this is still useful info. My first custom Rom install since honeycomb tablet and I had know idea how to flash gApps. Should have guessed from term "flash" that you use recovery but there seems to be a dearth of details. Your post was first google hit.
Sorry for the late responses, I had totally forgotten about this thread! I don't actually know if this will be useful for the ones who asked the questions, but anyways I'll answer them here in case someone else needs them.

Wow, didn't expected to get first place on Google haha Thanks for the appreciation. Yeah, it is not that hard, but I had little trouble doing it while I was new. It's important to understand not to wipe again to flash gapps also!

It depends on how you backed them up on Titanium. Maybe you did a full system backup or just app-per-app backup. If you did a full System backup, try to restore only Data, look into options, custom restore, something like that, there's probably an option there to do that -I usually don't use Titanium haha-. If you did the app-per-app, just look into the list of apps, go to the bottom of the list, and there should appear the apps you backed up, tap on them and restore them with their respective data.
BTW, for the next time, I suggest doing a backup from the Recovery menu, and then do a custom restore > restore Data. Data is where your personal stuff is saved, so no system files will be affected. It may pass down some bugs or troubles because of incompatibility between your backed up ROM and your new one, but normally that doesn't happen.

MD5 is just a file that makes sure your file is not corrupt. If you flashed a corrupt file, you could mess up your phone entirely without any chance to turn it back, so it is important, but you don't have to care about it because it gets checked by the phone itself.

I think you can get the APK for specific apps inside of the ZIP file that you download from Cyanogen, but I don't know if you can just install them right away. If you want to try, just extract the files, delete the APKs of the apps you don't want, and compile it again.
Even though, you actually HAVE to install Google Apps because you need, for example, the Play Store. There's no problem though with having both Google and Nexus apps (Which I think should be the same ones, being the Nexus like the "official" Google phones), I am pretty sure you can install all of them without getting original ones replaced and then deactivate the ones you don't want to use on the phone's Settings, in the Application Manager.
I hope my answers someday help someone. Regards, Nico.

If you haven't already, you should update your bootloader and modem using this thread.
UPDATE 04-04-15
EDIT2: no longer available
EDIT: Clock package was not removed. Please use Play Store replacements for essential functions (Chrome, QuickPic, Google Camera, etc). There are other changes as well, such as just reducing the size of the file by removing unused system libraries. If you would like the QuickConnect and S-Finder buttons gone, I believe there are xposed mods for it.
Recovery-Flashable Zip (*NOTE: YOU MUST FLASH SUPERSU AFTER FLASHING ONE OF THESE)
Please check http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/testing-debloated-dob1-rom-t3077507
Both of the Flashable Zips are Odexed, and the Slim Rooted one comes with the Calculator, and Calendar Sync for Google. There are still apps to be removed, and this is in progress. GPS and Maps is working.
Two backups are provided, one of them is about 2.2GB (after extraction), and it contains the full stock rom, with nothing removed, including Knox. The second is about 1.1GB (after extraction), and it contains heavily de-bloated and rooted rom, with everything from this thread removed (but not NFC), and also Knox. A few other things are also removed, but nothing essential.
EDIT: Backups no longer available.

Any more feedback on this? This is exactly what I've been looking for. For the most part I debloated the rooted version of the stock install myself as I prefer the smoothness of odexed roms. But I'd love to try this rom out, thank you for putting this together!
I'm curious about gps performance and if Screencast works. I love sharing my screen with my roku, but since flashing ktoons kernel I seem to have lost that ability, even flashed back to stock kernel and still had same prob. Anyone out there who can conform it works on this rom?

Nice! I don't have the targets to test whether or not Screencast works or not. GPS performance will be comparable to the Stock ROM. I believe that it includes A-GPS, but I'll have to recheck Samsung's specification to be sure.

Thanks for testing it, I'm currently in the process of testing a Recovery Flashable Zip, and this time, I'll add in the calendar syncing app. I had removed it in the previous releases (called "GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter"), so not syncing was intended. Is the Maps you're talking about something you downloaded from the Play Store or was it included (it shouldn't be, just making sure)? I'm not really sure what would be causing the FC with a Play Store release, but I'll look into it soon.

I just tried to flash open gapps 6/4/2020 stock for version 9 arm64, after I wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted all my gapps were gone but google pay was showing. I could see all the others were installed looking in system apps though. Trying to run google pay produced an error, see attached. Play services version seems to be broken? Help?
Confirmed, definitely broken. Logs attached. If anyone finds anyone in the open gapps project that actually cares feel free to let them know but from my past experiences it looks like open gapps stock is now over for 9. Might try a larger package, I'll post here if I do and it solves the problem.
Update: The Super package has the same issue.

Yes, but let's back up a step...
What LOS custom ROM do you have installed, for which you need GAPPS?
Just want to make sure we're all on the same page.
LOS-16 and LOS-17 need different GAPPS and of course stock firmware doesn't use GAPPS.

Of course stock uses gapps, unless you like wasting your storage to hold the updates and then having to re-update if you land up having to restore or do a factory reset, been doing it since Gingerbread and it works great, or it did, although the majority of updates can easily be moved to the system using Link2SD I have yet to find any realible means to move play services to the system without breaking things which is a major headache, gapps solves that issue and also allows me to choose which apps I want included in a rooted stock rom. The reality is that custom/non-stock ROMs are generally broken in one way or the other and more often than not it's just not something I'm willing to deal with, in addition there's useally too much junk included that I just have no need for and if I did I'd change my stock rooted ROM to fulfill that need. I've actually never seen a stock ROM that didn't use gapps. I'm perfectly happy with rooted and reasonably de-bloated stock and change things I feel are needed, for example adding in call recording, most custom ROMs would actually leave me doing more work to take things out and put things back in, like why take out the native sms, clock, calculator, calender, keyboard etc. they work, they are free and ad free, they are useally small and thus not really bloat and they are often hard to replace with similar function anywhere near their size.

No, you never flash custom ROM GAPPS on STOCK firmware. It already has built in GAPPS. GAPPS are usually only for LOS/AOSP custom ROM, not even stock based custom ROM. So there's your problem.
If you want to do it, go ahead, but I just know what I've been told by several devs.
When I read your question again, it seemed strange the way the wrote it, so that's why I wanted to clarify.

No my problem is that suddenly play services in Open Gapps does not work, worked fine until this flash. Open Gapps is just Gapps, all versions should be the same as released by Google, as stated I've been doing it since Gingerbread and the only issues it's ever caused is when Open Gapps is broken as mentioned in the first post and photos has also been broken for awhile now as it no longer runs in system/app so I install that from play store and move that myself with Link2SD which puts it in system/priv-app where it works. Not sure which question you are referring to, Open Gapps is broken currently and it's my understanding that all Gapps have to be removed to switch to any other and then there's the learning curve that will come with it. If I had the time I'd just create and maintain a package for just core that wouldn't touch the rest. That will likely become a necessity in the future at the rate things are going. So yes, after all these years I'll continue doing it since it's proven to work, assuming it ever gets fixed though I doubt it will as photos has yet to be fixed and that just requires a change in the install script.

Not sure which question you are referring to, Open Gapps is broken currently and it's my understanding that all Gapps have to be removed to switch to any other and then there's the learning curve that will come with it. If I had the time I'd just create and maintain a package for just core that wouldn't touch the rest. That will likely become a necessity in the future at the rate things are going. So yes, after all these years I'll continue doing it since it's proven to work, assuming it ever gets fixed though I doubt it will as photos has yet to be fixed and that just requires a change in the install script.

How long have you owned the V30?
You'll need to factory reset the phone to remove the extraneous GAPPS you installed when stock firmware has GAPPS and different resolution versions of the apps.
You still haven't explained why you need gapps on stock firmware. Every V30 dev who creates a stock firmware ROM says do not install GAPPS.
From Aeron Li, the A.IS. and A.I.X. (stock firmware based ROM) dev, who says NOT to do what you are trying to do:
the bad thing is that he can flash/install mismatched gapps and that may make firmware work wrong, or even make safetynet issues and not working Gapps-related things

Boombox dev (another stock ROM) and JohnFawkes one of the devs who create the TWRP flashable zips has said not to flash GAPPS over stock firmware.
You're probably going to cause conflicts. But it's your phone.

I dunno never had any issues and flashed open gapps a few weeks ago, 20200513 to be exact on this phone, no issues. Actually it was explained in detail. Updates take up space, wiping data removes them and hence bandwidth and time is wasted. Moving updates into system saves space and bandwidth. Again I don't do anyone's ROMs I use stock and make the few changes I desire. The only real issue that requires it is moving play services to the system since everything else is movable using Link2SD.
