GMAIL without GAPPS? - HTC EVO 3D

Hey folks, I'm currently using the latest GAPPS 21122012 on my AOKP 4.2.1 by helicopter88. Ok, enough background info.
When uninstalling certain apps like the sh!tty play store, Google Voice, Talk, Download Manager and others (only want GMAIL to work), my file explorer (using ES File Explorer) complains the apps haven't been uninstalled, but they certainly are.
And the (oh what a surprise) the gapps service keeps crashing on every reboot of the phone as well as every hour at least once.
QUESTION: How to enable full functionality of GMAIL (I have the APK) without having to install the whole bloatware package of GAPPS? I heard of a project called "NoGAPPS" - an option? A detailed guide would be awesome, every helpful answer gets a THANKS!

First of all, the latest gapps for 4.2.1 are 20121212 not 21122012 which may be part of your problem.
I believe Gmail depends on the framework and other modules that install as part of the gapps so installing just the Gmail .apk won't work. K-9 Mail is based on the original Android email client and has a lot of functionality that Gmail doesn't have so you could give that or another email app a try as a replacement for Gmail.
And don't expect to get an answer immediately just because your thread is viewed. There are a lot of lurkers on these forums and some people that are curious but may not have and answer or advice.

[CM7 Addon][01-01-12][Latest APKs] Google Apps flashable .zip (AppsPackPlus.zip Too!)

Seeing as how their we have so much excess free space on /system, but quite limited space on /data, I thought I'd make this addon, based off the traditional Google Apps .zip addon for CyanogenMod. It contains the latest of all the included apps, as of the 26th. Included are nearly all the major Google apps available from the market.
There is also an Apps Pack Plus, containing several popular apps (Astro, Dropbox etc), system utilties (ROM Toolkit, Titanium Backup), Apps that are important to keep after a factory reset (Where's My Droid), social media apps (Faceboook + Messenger, eBuddy), and other useful apps that I personally use.
All the apps included are free and available on the Market, if any developer wants them removed, I will do so.
You can flash each on its own, however its highly recommended you flash the Google Apps Standard .zip. The Apps Pack Plus is very optional, and you can delet any of the .apks in it without issue.
Thanks to: Google, the CyanogenMod team, the developers of the included apps, and also Schwinni over at MoDaCo whose expanded GApps for the Blade inspired me.

Whilst i appreciate the work you've put into this, i don't understand why it is necessary or even in the dev section
The google apps zip from cyanogen is more then enough, but maybe i'm being a d**k and this is needed for cm7

Its just to free space in /data.
All these apps are the latest versions, and thus, versions in /daa will be removed freeing data. Cyanogens version is quite outdated at this stage. If you dont want to use it thats fine, if you do you are free to remove things or to request changes. And yeah. Read the first post.
In the long run this will end up taking more space in /data/ than it would before, as updates are released for apps that could of been moved to sd card but can't now as original app is in /system/.

Just use system cleanup to move the updates to the system again, xda just posted an article about it!
nice pack
thanks for the zip i flashed it and took out a few apps with titanium and then used system cleanup to transfer data to system and it worked great on my xplay(r800i 2.3.4 locked bootloader and CWM)
thank you for the tips

No problem! just so you know you can actually just delte apps from the .zip before you install it in Recovery.
If anyone wants changes, just ask
Rebranded the larger package as Google Apps Plus, and added a smaller package called Google Apps Standard.
Theres been no app updates, mind, due to Christmas I guess.
Made Google Apps Standard the main package, AppsPackPlus is now an optional add-on. Last change to format, promise!
Also updated Google Books app to latest version.
Also, I was thinking of adding Google Reader to the GApps standard package, and maybe Chrome To Phone and Google Authenticator to one of the packages. Thoughts?
Chrome to phone is a big yes. Use that one everyday.. (though with firefox.. so you might change that to 'browser to phone' for advanced configuration. Works the same as default chrome to phone though..)
Goolge Reader would be a big nono.
How about pulse? - Best News Readers (or RSS in general.) - Pulse.me
WhatsApp? - Most used?
Twitter? - why not?
Rolle Youtube? - Download Youtube Videos!
the XDA App? - Obviously?!
Camera Mod? - Right button Shoot
Also i love the XingPlayer aswell as TinyShark (and it's downloader!).. but that's just my preference there.
Edith:
Big Question.
I've been using my System with gapps ( obviously ) for about 2 months now.
Is it safe to flash your files above them without errors?
Will do a nandroid nontheless, but curious

Thanks for this. It's necessary in case you install a CM7 "KANG" build and the Google Market apps keep force-closing.

[Q] Google Play services and the "shared user ID" error

Hi guys,
I'm a NottachTrix 1.3.1 (2.3.6) user, I realy like this rom and everything works fine, but when I try to login to Youtube it asks me to download Google Play services and takes me to the app on the Play Store. But after downloading it fails to install the application and the following error appears: "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID."
I already uninstalled every application I downloaded just before the error appears the first time, I have the latest version of Google Play (3.10.10).
What can I do to solve the problem and install Google Play services (also just login to youtube will also do the job )?
Thanks
Rob
Try wiping the cache for google play services (if installed) and any other google app.

Have tried the solutions here and doesn't seem to work. Running Nottachtrix with Mon's sv latest kernel. I also flashed the rom all over again and restore apps from backup and still doesn't work.

My "solution" was to downgrade Youtube application to an older version. It works fine and now I can follow my channels. Do someone knows what's the latest version of Youtube that gives no problem with shared user ID?
Grey.Mouser has just released nottachtrix v1.7.0. I'm downloading now. I'll report back weather the problem is fixed in the new version.

Even with nottachtrix 1.70 nothing has changed for me ...
Updating gapps was next on my list for Nottachtrix. Since I have no issue with youtube, I'll need testers. I can send the three of you a PM with a beta if your willing to help out. Just PM me with confirmation if your willing.

Nottachtrix 1.8.0 comes with a version of youtube that works fine. Update on google play breaks it. Says something about error and won't allow login. Uninstall updates for youtube via "manage applications" in settings fixes it again. There is no googleplayservices.apk on the ROM or pushed by google play. Thanks Grey.mouser for your good work!!!
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The reason why this is that each app has its on user ID for android to identify it with. If 2 apps have the same user ID, then android cannot identify both of them and thinks that it is the same app.
The problem we have is BLUR. Blur has many apps built in already, and one of these is already taking up the user ID for Google play services. this means until we take out the blur app with the same user ID, play services will not install as it's ID is taken by the blur app.
However, there is another problem. All blur roms need that specific blur app that takes play services' user ID. this means that if you are going to use blur, you cannot use play services unless you take out the blur app. Taking out the blur app, however, means that the blur rom will not function.
So, we are with the dilemma that either you do not use the Blur rom, or you use an older version of youtube, which has a different user ID.
Hope this clears things up.
what? I think u are wrong. I have a 2.3.4 Blur stock ROM. I have all blur stock apps installed and still installed play services + YouTube app update. That only means that a app blocks playservices in the custom ROMs.

Whoops never saw this thread, I'vee been posting about this in the two nottachtrix threads. Here's what I know:
I've been investigating the googleplayservices/youtube problem, and posting on the old thread, but I guess I'll move to here. Here's what I know, googleplayservices (I'll call it PS) does more than just youtube, it enables a better version of maps, +1 buttons, and going forward is probably going to be like .NET for android. So just using older youtube is not a solution going forward. The problem is because Nottach resigned the entire ROM including the google apps. In order for applications to use a shared uid they must have the same signatures. I've had very little success fixing this without doing a full data/cache wipe. What definately worked for me yesterday, was replacing all apps that originally had google's signature with the originals from a deodexed fruitcake and wiping. What this means is that if you do this after installing the ROM you should have no problems. And replacing these in the ROM installer will also probably work. Now this is the only thing I've tried with the wipe, it maybe be simpler, but here's what didn't work/what I know. The only apks that share the UID (according to packages.xml) are NetworkLocation.apk GoogleServicesFramework.apk GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk. Without a wipe, I replaced these but still had the shared user problem. I resigned all 4 including the PS apk. PS installed but didn't work saying it was an error. I think there's a signature check but somehow gapps on other rom's don't have this problem so I dunno. Here is a list of all apps on stock that had the same signature: NetworkLocation.apk GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk SetupWizard.apk vending.apk GoogleServicesFramework.apk GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk BooksPhone.apk MarketUpdater.apk GooglePartnerSetup.apk GoogleFeedback.apk Talk2.apk GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk Gmail.apk. Like I said replacing these with a wipe did the trick.
I believe I solved this in v2.0.0, try it and lmk

As I understand it, shared user ID is a valid concept, I think it lets 2 applications share data between the VM's.
if u check file parameters.xml u can see which apps have shared user ID specified.
current problem many people r having is the compatabilty of the new google play services with the google framework, both specified to share the same ID but have incompatable settings, presumably one app wants to do something the other doesn't
I have installed play services

[help] ray: gmail app not getting new mail automatically

Get mail at right moment is kinda important to my job:
I'm with this gmail (newest version): it's about a month, and it's not auto check, even when I open the app and refresh my self, it only get new mail at second or third try. I tried uninstall and reinstall, turn off and on syncing, restart, move in system app and back out, internal, link2sd, everything I can think of, it still not working. I check my sync setting and it's always hours since last sync.
My play store have similar problem too: if I install app from pc browser, I will need to open play store app before it start download and install.
Shoud I flash the rom again? Or sync setting get interrupted by something or google server have problem with my region?
The new Gmail has a bug on ics as I read in play store. Try download older version and replace Gmail.apk in system/app set right permission. Btw I use pac rom with justunbean inverted gapps (Gmail 4.2.1 inside) and I have no problem with sync time. Sometimes my phone notify me earlier as my pc.
Sent from my Xperia Ray using xda premium
Are you sure you enabled auto sync in settings?
I will try older version right away, thanks Wenchy, maybe back to the version come with rom first.
Thanks mihahn but I'm not that much uninformed :laugh:
UPDATE: roll back to the version come with rom kinda fixed it, still much much slower than the app tab of firefox
The Vending.apk auto update itself as soon as I replaced it in adb, I dont mind open store every time installing something from pc that much, so I will let is slide.
UPDATE2: look like it's just temporary fix, It's been over 10 mins since the last new email and the app still not get any notification at all. I got one right away notification 20 mins ago, but that's all it take.

Are you sure, that after replacing the gmail.apk the play store doesn't updated it to newest version?
Which rom do you use? It is ICS or JB? Maybe you should use modded gmail and/or playstore. (the modded one doesn't display in "my installed apps" in play store, so the store don't update it automatic. And i have v3.10.9 play store and this don't updates himself too)
Have you checked emails (maybe you have other email adress too) with simple email set to sync time to 5 min? This works? Or it has sync fault too? If this has a fault too, than it can be your carrier problem.
One more question: do you have lot of apps running/syncing (weather, rrs, email, gmail, facebook, twitter app/widgets)
Lot of gmail apks are here: [App] Patched Gmail
Right now I'm give up on this issue (ICS) and trying other JB rom...
Thanks

What version of the play store are you running? Also, do you have the background restricted for the play store?
Try the newest Play Store if yours is not up to date. I remember the issue in my S4 and newest version solved it after wiping data and install update.

Yes its the same account I've had going all the way back to the first Android phone. It has gotten better. I ODIn'ed back from a 4.4.2 ROM to a custom 4.3 ROM and my market works most of the time. When it starts actign up I usually have to clear data/wipe caches, restart and wait a bit for it to resync my account. Kind of a pain, but working most of the time is better than none of the time.

How are the Play store on the web working for you when signed in with the account you are having issues with. For me I have trouble loading in anything @all. Especially the top list, and my purchases.
I believe there are issues with older accounts that did not get updated/patched with new settings after ICS update, or the 3.0+ update of their store when it became Play Store and not Android market. When I use my other account all is ok, but there I have no purchased apps.
If you want you can find the 2.3.6 version of Market and replace the Play store and you will find that all issues are gone. Now I use Legazy Play store witch can be used together with normal play. Just need to push it to system/apps on 4.3 or system/priv-apps on 4.4.
Use all this advise at own risk.

Anyone have any luck with this/ age of Gmail accounts?
I just recently started having this issue on a stock GS4A on at&t. Maybe a week ago could not get updates and wrote it off as a busy server then realized this weekend I could not get anything new.
I tried every fix I could find on the forums and even a fix that the 2nd tier Google tech suggested (no different from the forum fixes other than including turning the automatic date/time on and off). Every method was a band-aid at best: one or two apps can come through before I get the 927 error or the DF-BPA-30 error. At least the error codes are consistent...
I honestly think this is related to the age of my account. I have had a Gmail account since 2007 or so when I believe it was still in beta. I am surmising that older accounts are on an older server or something that is having issues. I made two dummy accounts and could download anything I wanted, so there is nothing wrong with my handset or connections. The temporary work-around I am using is adding a secondary gmail account and adding any apps through it, while still using primary for mail, contacts, and calendar. I am not a heavy user, so it works, but I should not have to patch it together like this!
So- anyone who is getting this error; how long have you been a Google user? Anyone else tried "old vs new" for a cause of the error?
When I replied to the 2nd tier tech I told him his method did not work, but asked to look into the account itself. I'll update if I have anything to say.

When I replied to the 2nd tier tech I told him his method did not work, but asked to look into the account itself. I'll update if I have anything to say.

Ask to get your case transferred to apps division. There I got real help. They are really good. And have helped me a lot.

[Q] Android without gapps

I know it has been asked in the past, but the only actual threads I have found about it are from 2012-2013 at best, and things change very fast in the mobile world.
My question is: How can you make Android work without installing gapps? More specifically, I want to use Cyanogenmod, without installing the gapps package.
Now, I have never tried using Android without gapps, because I've heard about a lot of issues with it. Mostly, there seem to be big issues with GPS and syncing (especially contact and calendar syncing). Also, many apps will not work properly, or at all, without gapps installed. At least, this used to be the case. I have no idea, how it currently is and if there was any progress made by the people who try to run Android without Google.
What steps would I have to take in order to make Cyanogenmod run without installing gapps? To have it work with common apps like Whatsapp, a good map app with working GPS, push mail, and so on? Is it possible at all?
No one?
I've been running CM12.1 without GAPPS for almost one week now. WhatsApp and email work as usual. I use DAVdroid from the F-Droid store for calendar and contact syncing.
For more info, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/week-gapps-sort-t3228183
CyanogenMod works even without Google Apps (reason why flashing the gapps package is optional). Sideloaded apps or from other sources such as F-Droid should work fine. If one app doesn't work, it might probably be dependent on Google Play Services or the play services framework

Just flash Cyanogenmod zip file and don't flash Google apps...Thats all you have to do. You can use Cyanogenmod without Google apps without any problem.
You can install apps like WhatsApp with apk files ...you can download them everywhere. You don't need Google apps to install WhatsApp or any other app.

I'd never be interested in running my phone without Google, but it's cool there are options since everyone needs different things from their devices.
