[Q] How often does Google refresh the Gapps? - Nexus S General

Hey, I might not even be asking the right question. I know the Gapps (Maps, Gmail ect) are all closed source and we all install those when we flash new roms and stuff, the only thing, I never know if I am getting the most current Gapps. For example I never know if I'm getting Talk 1.3 (with video chat) or not?
I've done the search and I've only found (through the CM7 wiki) one that was updated last month... is that the latest Gapps?
How often do new Gapps come out?
Thanks,
Spittal

Not often. A lot of the Apps are updated via market.

[Q] CM 6.1 RC2 Market Issues

I upgraded CM 6 to CM6.1 RC2 and everything went smooth, except when you turn the nexus one on there is no market or gmail from google as if they some how are no longer part of the phone.
When I upgraded I did it from the phone itself so when i was ask if i wanted google add on I click yes and once it went to the booting process and the new CM6.1 RC2 was running I could not find the market or my contacts I could not sync my phone to the google server...why?
Hum.....read the thread and find the link to Google apps. You will then need to flash Google apps on top of your CM6 ROM.
I know sometimes the Google apks fail to download in ROM manager.
So should i download the CM 6.1 RC2 from the phone since i have the ROM manager and not get the google add on and download it from a PC, save it to da sd card n then do it manually?...please explain...thank you!

Download them both from the pc to sdcard .. then flash in recovery .. cm first then add ons
I just went to cyanogenmod website n i guess i was not da only one with this problem!...apperently you can no longer download CM 6.1 RC2 because not having android market or gmail...please if someone can help develop this ROM correctly...thank you!

Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about. CM6.1 RC2 is still available for download. If you still have it loaded, grab the GAPPS package from the wiki (link below) and flash it over your current ROM (no need to wipe first) to get the Market, Gmail, etc... back.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Passion:Installing_CyanogenMod
I notice if you go to cyanogenmod website and click on downloads and then experimental and you see CM6.1 RC2 and if you click on it it says you can not download it anymore because it was reported as broken because not having Market or gmail.
On the same website if you go to forums and then see nexus one it will give you a link to download it from the links they have on that forum....so my question is which one is really true?
any ideas?
Considering I'm running CM6.1 RC2 with everything working perfectly, I'd say it's not a problem with the build....
Edit: I just checked the page - you can actually still download the zip. Someone just reported the file as broken, but that isn't a note from the devs (they have better grammar).
CM Roms haven't included Google apps in a long time.
Google asked that their programs weren't included because they are copyrighted material. Android being open, you can still download the GAPPS (Google Apps) pack and flash over CM's latest.
This has been the method as long as I've been on Android.
I got downloaded it from your xda website and it works!!!...now can someone tell me what is the mayor changes from CM6.0 and CM6.1 RC2? the only thing I can notice is the fm radio...anybody can tell me what also is good with this ROM?
By the way....I love cyanogenmod!!...much better than the stock one!...Keep up with the good work developers!
Anybody has some input as what is da mayor change between CM 6.0 and CM6.1 RC2?...i want to explore my new ROM....any ideas where should i start?

You could do a little Google'ing and find out...maybe a search for "CyanogenMod Changelog"?
Here, I did the hard work for you:

[ZIP] Unofficial GAPPS - GB and ICS [+Market 3.4.4]

Hi guys! Here is the updated GAPPS.
I will keep this topic updated everytime a new GAPPS is released.
Gingerbread:
GAPPS GB 20120116 - Market 3.4.4
Ice Cream Sandwich:
GAPPS ICS 20120131 - No Facelock - Market 3.4.4 - Car Home
Ice Cream Sandwich GAPPS was stripped down to fit on our small system partition. After flashing CM 9.0 and GAPPS you will have 36kb of space left.
If you are looking for the official, old gapps, you can download the official Goo-inside.me app from the Market to get a direct link for the download.
Here it is: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager
Thank you very much
Thanks glad to see it bundled with the new market.

Hi guys! I took the lastest available gapps (gb-20110828) and added the new Market 3.3.11.
Since I haven't found any new gapps in a while I decided to update it by myself. It's working perfectly, so enjoy.

Thanks a million! I installed it on my Optimus V, which had lost its GPS chip (showed lat & long as 0.0000). After install and reboot, it started working again! OK, probably just needed the restart. Still, thanks for posting that.

This the 2.35 version with the new market added. If so already got it from rom manger and they also have the latest market version
LG O1 Running Cm7 Mik_OS 2.37
Anyone else finding the new market, well unreliable? When I got to the website on my pc and install from there, no problem. Yet very often the new market wont even load the landing page, just sits there spinning till I eventually kill it. Before it was nice and fast and I used to do everything from the device, last night I couldnt even get it to load the my apps page.
Thanks, I just install a custom kernel/ROM in my O1 and when I dont see the Android Market I freak out, Google bring me here anyways xD
Thanks for sharing this file.
The new market is really laggy on LG O1.
Thank you
Thanks! This is really good. I don't have to update everything everytime i flash a new rom
Topic updated with lastest GAPPS by temasek.
How can I replace the new market with the previous android Market (say 2.2.11 or something like it ) in the latest gapps and make it flashable??
the new 3.x.x versions take too much time to load
Sorry, I dont know how to do it

The latest Market is actually loading really fast.
If you want to have old market you will first have to delete maketupdater.apk from the System.
Then install the market you want.
Give me the Market version you want to have and I will make you a flashable zip of gapps without maketupdater.apk so you can install a new ROM.

[Q] MIUI v4 Alpha + Whatsapp?

I recently installed the newest MIUI build which is running pretty stable for me however the latest Whatsapp is not installing (says it's incompatible...). I found this thread which tells me that I can install an old version of the program and be able to run it, however every time I open it, it asks me to update to the newer version (and surprise! Whatsapp doesn't "support" custom ROMs). Is there any way to trick the Market (or "Play"...horrible name btw) to install? Thanks!!
I couldn't did it in the market or restore it from tibu backup either

Seems like there's an update addressing problems with the Market...let's see how it goes!
google for whatsapp apk and install it manually BANG
rather go to whatsapps website on your phone and it will let you download latest version....

[Q] Ligux Market

I would post this in the development thread but it won't let me as I don't have enough posts.
I installed this rom and I was really impressed with the speed etc but it was running the 3.1 market. I got hold of a 3.5.19.apk and tried to install it but it just said "Application not installed" so I got some ICS gapps and flashed that and now I have the play store but when I open it up it asks me to add a google account, I say yes and it closes and puts me back to the home screen.
How can I make the play store work in this rom?
The ICS gaps won't work in gb, try flashing the latest gapps for gb then it should automatically update to the play store.

I just thought I'd reply to this in case anyone else had this issue at any point. I tried to flash over the GB gapps from the link you sent but it didn't change anything. Same problem. I resigned myself to thinking I'd just have to dealing with using the old market when all of a sudden play instaled itself over the top. So it seems in future wait 24 hours and it should sort itself out.

yeah, if you flash a gapps package that makes it crash you normally have to re-flash the rom and then a new package or just wait for the original to update itself

[Q] Force Close of voice search

Hey guys,
got a problem. I've installed CM 10.1 M1, and flashed 201212 Gapps. Everything is working fine, except the voice search. When I click on the mic, for example in Google Now, Voice search and Google now, closes. Got the same problem on AOKP.
Whats the problem!?

HELP!
There's some kind of user error going on here. I've experienced zero problems and have never seen this reported in the CM10.1 thread.
Well, it's a "normal" problem when flashing the gapps. Normally the only thing you've to do, is to install the update through the market. However, it's really strange that you don't see the update on the market.
Maybe someone could upload the .apk for you. Unfortunately I'm currently unrooted so i can't do it.
Did you flash the official gapps from goo.im? Here's the link if you need it. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip

had the problem of it force closing, then flashed the next cm10.1 nightlies and it opens but still no voice search..
updated in play store and still nothing.. i have since realised that its not only the google now app. but all voice dictation/search apps..
no soundcloud.voicerecorder. voice typing in swiftkey. none of its recognising anything.. but calls work. which is a plus
anybody able to shed some light on what i can do?
its a note 2 n7105lte on cm10.1 nightlies.
thanks..
I don't know if that'll help you, but I just got mine working by updating the app "Google Search" in the Play Store. The "Voice Search" app had been up to date prior to that, but it still wouldn't work.
All fixed after next nightlies
