has any one have problems syncquing the contens to google drive.. well i have and found the following..
1.- ics memo app from google wont sync over google drive,,, it sync only whit docs.
2.- every time i check on login status i need to login again,,
3.- cant send single or multiple files to google drive,, file extension *.vnt
never mind first two point,, i found out that you need to update the memo to get updated on google drive,, it works but only whit the memo updated,, so if you want to keep a copy of your memos on google drive... simple
1.- go to memo apps and open the memo you need to get sync over google drive..
2.- select edit and click space and then save,, and bouala done...
3.- then select menu and sync,, if you are log out login again,, you find strange that on login screen still says GOOGLE DOCS...
4.- no worries do a sync and then go to your google drive account and see your files,, the files name is the date... lock and see..

Hi everyone,
After flashing a new ROM for my Nexus7 (CM, PA, etc) I want to avoid installing the standard gapps zip with all the Google software, but instead I only want the Play store.
I have searched the XDA forums and I struggle to find anything that precisely solve this issue. It seems that the general consensus when it comes to minimal systems is to install everything first and only then remove the bloat either directly from the shell or via TB, sometimes proceeding with trial and error.
Is there any way, or anyone willing to detail the exact dependencies needed for the Play store apk to work when installed on its own?
Thanks!
What's the problem in manually deleting the unneeded Google apps that you are not going to use and live happily ever after?
Of vourse if you change ROMs often - that might be a trouble, but if you intend to stay with one and only ROM - then I guess it shouldn't be that hard, right?

Not so much of a problem in the sense that it is blocking me, there are however some points that motivate me in knowing how to do it properly, namely:
I have a general Interest in how the interdependencies between the OS and Google apps is actually working. I've been using GNU/Linux for more than 15 years and I grew the habit to like to know what I am installing on my machines.
Frequent ROM updates make manual removal of items quite inefficient. Maybe a backup app could help here but that feels clunky and has the risk to introduce quite some mess when the system receives major updates that would break the backup.
The time to go through manual removal though trial and error is possibly the same that it takes to start this thread, bump it and hopefully gather enough interests so that more people will benefit from it.
I also reacted in other topic. Somehowe i could not react here but now it does.
Not my own idea, but it did work for me on my desire s. Open up the zip and read the next:
I have made a minimal install sufficient to get Contacts and Calendar sync + Google Play.
Then copy with a root explorer and set permissions to 644 of:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleLoginService
GoogleServicesFramework
Phonesky
Later installed as a regular apk Gmail2 and GenieWidget

Thanks for the hint!
To get the Play store working I only had to install Phonesky, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginService.
Now I am trying to figure out what is needed to get the quick settings menu. The latter only appears when the gapps are installed.

Hi OP
Could you mention the details of how you got the store working? Eg, where did you download the service files from and where did you copy them in your phone.
Thanks

As instructed, you download the gapps zip, remove the unwanted apks, and then flash in recovery.

I have a PA 3.1 ROM that shows the quick settings without GApps. However, the settings don't appear using a swipe down or through the button in the navigation area. They appear specifically in the expanded desktop mode only. Not sure why, but it doesn't look like an issue related to GApps. Let me know if you were able to validate the link between GApps and quick settings though.

Hi OP
I had been wondering why I had not been able to get the quick settings (the tiles in the status bar) to appear.
Btw, I'm using Rootbox on my Galaxy S3 (GT-i9300).
Your comment above told me that something from was gapps missing, so I installed the full gapps package and the quick settings work.
I reset/wiped my phone for further testing...
Long story short, I discovered Google's Setup Wizard was the culprit. Once I had rebooted and completed Google's setup wizard my quick settings tiles started working. I have no idea why this affects the tiles
GoogleLoginService was required for SetupWizard. I removed both afterwards with no problems.
Sorry for bumping an old thread, I was searching for info on the play store when I found this thread. Doubt I would have found this info otherwise.
Thanks for the bump, I gave up eventually, but what you found out is great. I'll give it a try!
These days I'm also trying to figure out how painful/feasible it would be to simply not use any of the gapps and just rely on alternative repos such as F-droid.

Sorry to dig up old threads, hopefully one of you is still around,
I've put Cynogenmod on my xperia, but forgot to install google play, I installed it from an apk using the terminal but it crashes, obviously needs some other google services to work. I have a the google apps zip file but the app names are very different...
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
GalleryGoogle.apk
GenieWidget.apk
Gmail.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
GoogleTTS.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
MarketUploader.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
SetupWizzard.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
VoiceSearch.apk
I only want google Play and gmail, I have flashed Cyanogenmod mainly to "ungoogle" my phone but I do want an easy way to install new apps.
Any ideas on what the equivolent to Phonesky will be in the list above?
Phonesky, GoogleServicesFramework and GoogleLoginService were enough for < cm 10.2
But with android 4.4 cm11 , it doesn't work anymore.
'there was a problem communicating with google servers'
any tried a standalone market install on kitkat?

Hi, im just a newbie here but i just want to share my experience in installing playstore.apk and you're right. Its trial and error.
At 1st, i zip signed the playstore.apk and tried to install it in cwm recovery. Yes it was installed but when i reboot my system, it pops up a toast that playstore stopped. i pressed ok and it pops again everytime. 1st failure
2nd, i tried to put the playstore.apk directly in the device/system/priv-app folder then install it normally. it was installed again but when i reboot my system, it crashes again. 2nd failure.
then here is the 3rd and final one and i said to myself that if this will not work again, maybe playstore.apk isnt a stand alone app. so here is what i did. i put the playstore.apk file again in the device/system/priv-app folder and this time i renamed it as "Phonesky" just like in stock roms. i just leave it there exit the file explorer then reboot system. And suddenly, it works and till now, it still works. Maybe it was luck but i'm just sharing my experiences. Im not saying that it will work 100% but maybe give it a try then. But make sure that you already back up everything. Thanks and God bless.
Hi guys,
I have installed Cyanogen 12 on my Wiko Darkmoon do set myself free from Google and I am happy with that... But unfortunately I still need to used Google Calendar (because my wife does not want to change so far and we are using shared calendar big time).
I don't want to install gapps but I am ok to install the minimum apk to have Google calendar sync working on my phone. Based on what I red on that topic, I came to install (may be not in this order) :
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
Unfortunately, when trying to register a Google account, I get the following message (translated from French, maybe inaccurate sorry) : " Impossible to connect. A communication problem with Google servers occurred. Please try later." with a next button leading always to the same message.
I cannot figured out if something is missing neither if it is possible to do so. I used adb logcat to get some log but I am not familiar at all with it but maybe the answer is in this part :

So I bought a note 3 in china and I'm trying to add google apps to my phone... but I'm afraid I may have bricked it.
I rooted my phone and then I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343580
Mainly these steps.
Read an article which suggested using "Root Explorer" to install ONLY the 5 apps below
OneTime Initializer.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
Google Services Framework.apk
Setup Wizard.apk
Gmail.apk
directly into root\systems\apps folder
Now my phone is permanently stuck in setup wizard has stopped.... I can't even reset my phone to fix it.
Can anyone PLEASE help me? I have no idea what to do..
bump!
anyone?
Hi, did you ever get an answer/figure this out? I'm trying to install Gapps too on the same system (without using CWM or any other custom recoveries).
Running out of internal storage for apps on my ZTE Blade MiniQ running android 4 .2 .2 I rooted it using Kingroot and then used Titanium backup to delete bloat ware.
BUT I selected something by accident but thought I'd managed not to delete it - now I think I must have! :crying:
I use google calendar sync'd with business calendar on my phone - it shows no calendars available.
I've installed the google calendar app - but it says my calendars can't be displayed cos calendar storage has been disabled - there is link to enable in setting - app info flashes up and then settings stops working.
I've tried deleting and reinstalling accounts, even a factory reset - nothing is working.
Have seen an old post about this but the link to 4share is no longer working
Has someone got a ink to the right file - and can tell me how to get it back on my phone I'd be extremely grateful
(I did delete lots of stuff like google play newstand - but think that should be ok - and no I didn't back up - cos I am an idiot! -or rather was only planning on getting rid of bloat ware)
The calendar is the one of the main things I use on my phone ....
1.download stock rom for Q mini from official ZTE site
2.extract this from ur stock rom:
-CalendarImporter.apk
-CalendarImporter.odex
-CalendarProvider.apk
-CalendarProvider.odex
3.copy/paste it in system/app and change permissions to rw r r
4.reboot
