Google apps will not include Google maps.

Not sure about that, the gapps that I flashed contained a file called "com.google.android.maps.jar" to be put in the system/framework folder, and a file called "com.google.android.maps.xml" was put in the "\system\etc\permissions" folder.
So doesn't this point out that gapps at least does something with google maps?

You can download gapps here.

EDIT
just found this (source):
You are probably wondering at this stage, what is this Google Apps thing, and what does it affect? It includes applications which people have come to associate with Android devices, such as the GMail application, Google Maps, Navigation, Google Talk, Car Dock, Google Account Syncing (including Picasa / Contact / Calendar sync), Google Voice, Street View, Youtube, Voice Search as well as the big kahuna, the official Android Marketplace. Pretty much all the good stuff on Android devices. You can still install and run Android without these devices and everything works fine, but it’s not quite the same if you are used to these applications. Note that recently, Google has released the Youtube and Maps apps onto the market, facilitating more direct updates to the end user. If this is an easier option for you, just grab those off the market.

[GAPPS] Calendar app question

I have a simple question.
I wanted to know why most gapps packages out there dont include the new Calendar app with the blue icon?
The only gapps package that does is from ParanoidAndroid

It's in the play store

gapps, are Google apps that are not part of the playstore and not downloadable from google.
gapps are apps like:
Market
Camera
Wallet
Panorama in camera
etc
Are there any more that I am missing?

Yeah I know but then I have two calendar apps and the old "green icon" one causes some kind of conflict with the colors I set for events

Then how would I go about getting the new calendar on CM10.1 instead of the old without having both?

Go to the app settings of the "old" one and disable it.

HyperDrive Questions (2)

Hello,
I just installed v5.5 of HyperDrive thru SS. When I start it, I expect it to ask if I have a Google account so it can retrieve my old settings but it did not. I then clicked on the GMail app and it then asked if I had an account. I went ahead and entered my info. I would think that it would then start downloading all the apps I have on my stock rom but it did not! When I installed build 6 of Jelly Beans, it did download all my apps. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
My second question is what is the lock icon on the top right of the screen and do I need to do something with it?
Thanks!

You should post your questions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521123 It's a support thread dedicated to Hyperdrive ROM.

Try going to Settings - Accounts to see if your Google account shows within there. Tap it and review your checkmarks for what you want to sync(contacts, browser etc)
If that all looks ok, try removing the account and adding it back via Settings - Accounts (rather than gmail method) which should give you the account wizard to restore your apps

Play Store - Issues

Hi,
First I want to thank you for trying to help me. I did what you said to try and nothing at all happened. I even deleted my account and re-added it but the Play Store won't send me my apps. Can't understand why i'm having such problems with HyperDrive but Beans is working like a charm??
Thanks

I basically have the same screen as you but mine hasCalendar, Contacts, Gmail, People Details, & others. I keep clicking on the sync now button but nothing really happens as far as downloading my apps. Could there be an issue with the Play Store app itself?
To be honest, I'm getting real close to removing this ROM and just stick with Beans.
Thanks!!

It seems like it could be an issue with something within gapps like you said. Yeah I'd clean flash hyperdrive again if that's what you wanted, i have no issues on a clean flash/adding my account after first boot like you seen in the screenshot

This is actually the third time I've installed this ROM. I guess I can delete it again and re-install it. If this still does not solve my problem, I think I'll wait until the next build comes out.
I appreciate the time you taken to assist me.

[GUIDE] Nexus 5 apps safe to remove

Hi there!
I've put together a spreadsheet of apps that are (or so far seem) safe to remove from the Nexus 5. Note that I am running 4.4 KitKat, which has been unlocked with TWRP and rooted. The spreadsheet comes from the combined efforts of hallstevenson's spreadsheet on the Galaxy S3 for Spring (which I adapted and updated for the Verizon version), and referencing MoJo's script for removing Nexus 5 bloatware. I used Titanium Backup to go through and type in the packages and APK names.
CLICK HERE FOR ACCESS TO THE SPREADSHEET [GOOGLE DOCS]
Click the "5.1" tab.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, concerns, or want to tell me exactly where I'm wrong about something, please leave a comment here! If such a list already exists, I couldn't find it through searching. And if I'm in the wrong category, I apologize; seeing MoJo's script here led me to think this would be the appropriate place.
**UPDATE FOR LOLLIPOP 5.1**
Here are the apps I've personally removed, if anyone is interested (this list changes with each update):
Basic Daydreams
Cloud Print
Downloads
Earth
Email
Exchange Services
Fit
Hindi Input
Korean Input
Google Now Launcher
Pinyin Input
Books
Movies & TV
Newsstand
Text-to-Speech
iWnn IME Japanese input
MusicFX
News & Weather
Nfc Service
Slides
Sun Beam

Updated for Lollipop!
I'm back with an update! You can use the same link above. Note that this time I've added a tab for Android 5.0 Lollipop. (There's also a tab for what I believe is 4.4.4, which I started and didn't finish... Sorry!) Again, I'm on a stock ROM from Google's firmware page, and I used Titanium Backup (v 6.2.0) to go through this list. I had a couple of app updates after flashing the new ROM, so the version numbers might not quite match up. As usual, let me know if there are any issues, or if you've figured out if an app can be removed that I've left blank. If you're going to be adventurous, it's best to freeze an app and test rather than delete it, and make a backup before you delete.
Enjoy!

Can we get rid of Google+ and still be able to have a photo gallery?
I tried freezing it and I couldn't access my photos because I had to enable Google+.

Not sure. I'd think the Photos app would still work, but maybe not. I actually use Google+ on a constant basis so I haven't removed the app.

You deactivated the exchange services, so do you get any emails with auto synchronisation ? Or are the exchange services only for the E-Mail app, which isnt working on L anymore?

Bump for 5.0.1 update (see original post)

Hey, I am a tad bit confused here..
I currently have two Exchange Services.
1) com.google.android.gm.exchange
(ver. 6.5-1520254)
2) com.android.exchange
(ver. 4.4.4-6936)
I'm sure the second one is the one I can delete but was just unsure about the first one.

The first one is the one I have marked as safe to delete. I don't know what the second is, maybe something left over from KitKat? Try freezing them with TitaniumBackup and reboot, see if they give you any issues. If they don't, make backups and remove them.

Okay, I didn't think this would have much to do with it but I am using Slimkat 4.4.4, so I didn't think to look in the 5.0 tab. I shall see what happens when I freeze the other EServices.
Thanks for the reply.
Edit: Well, I have backed-up both Exchange Services and removed them both and nothing seems to have changed *Shrugs* Ahh well.

Well, generally speaking, you should be looking in the tab for your current Android version. (Or as close as your custom ROM gets.) The list is based on a fresh install of the ROM, so if your apps have updated since, they'll show different version numbers and possibly different locations, too. Something I didn't think to include in my post, sorry!

Well I flashed the ROM last week, so anything could have updated. Anyway, thanks for the help. I just wanted to have an opinion on the random system app first before I went ahead and removed it.

[Patch] All-in-one Patch for Missing Sense Apps, Widgets, and Plugins

All-in-one Patch for Missing Sense Apps, Widgets, and Plugins​
Hello everyone
The new HTC 10 is marvelous, and Sense 8 is really good and smooth.
As you all should know, Sense 8 is much cleaner and more close to stock Android, HTC removed tons of goodies from the old Sense.
Some of them are available on the Play Store, so it should be no problems..... but.....
How about those which cannot be downloaded
To be honest, I miss them a lot, and I believe many of you do to.
There are installable apks available, but most of them are outdated/modified, also downloading them one-by-one is a pain.
I collected all old Sense parts from our Sense 8 M8 port and packed all of them into an Aroma Installer flashable zip.
Here are the list of apps included in the package, all of them are selectable within the Aroma menu:
Code:
--Apps--
HMS_Gallery_GP2
HMS_Music_GP
HTC_IME
*IMEHWRPenPower
*IMEMurasuIndic
*IMEMurasuViet
*IME_TP_Basic
*IME_TP_ValueAdd
HTC Car
*HtcCarGps
*Automotive_Home
*Automotive_Traffic
--Widgets--
CalculatorWidget
HtcAutoRotateWidget
HtcBackgroundDataWidget
HtcProfilesWidget
HtcRingtoneWidget
HtcScreenBrightnessWidget
HtcScreenTimeoutWidget
HtcSyncWidget
HtcBtWidget
HtcCalendarWidgets
HtcContactWidgets
HtcDataRoamingWidget
HtcDataStripWidget
HtcHotspotWidget
HtcMobileNetworkWidget
HtcMusicWidget
HtcWiFiWidget
--Plugins--
Facebook_Plugin
Instagram_SN_Plugin
Tencent_Wechat_FSPlugin
And the following is the list that is downloadable from Play Store and not pre-loaded:
Code:
HTC Internet (Browser)
HTC Calendar
HTC File Manager
HTC Tasks
HTC Scribble
HTC Power to Give
HTC Backup (Discontinued in Marshmallow)
Changelog
v1.1:
Add HTC Car
Update HTC Gallery
Add a note for Calendar Widget​v1.0:
Initial release​

v1.1 AFH Link​
Enjoy

It's unclear yet.
SD820 has the capability in the SoC but the 10 firmware and kernel may not support FM radio as well as the appropriate missing libs for it to function.
Once there are more devices in hands there will be more information.

Since you mention Facebook and Instagram, combined with seeing mention of them elsewhere in the forums...
Am I to understand that Blinkfeed, out of the box on the 10, won't support Facebook and Instagram without your file? If I'm off-base, please tell me.

Yes, it is not included by default. You have to manually install it.

Appreciate that nice work,
suggestion here:
if you want to put the Calendar-widget in, then you might want to grab the Calendar in.
so when ppl hit the date on the widget, that 'd just call the main Calendar app

Update to v1.1
Also added more information to the OP

So just installing Facebook and Instagram (or even Twitter) off of the Play store isn't enough?
For us to have full functionality of Blinkfeed, we have to choose between getting updates and having to flash TWRP + your mod?

nope...installing facebook & instagram only installs the actual app, not the blinkfeed plugins...twitter works out of the box for blinkfeed
u don't have to be modded/rooted to install these plugins, just enable unknown sources, copy the apks to the phone & install...I posted the facebook & instagram plugins here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66377247&postcount=41801

No it won't. What you can see on Play Store is controlled by files in /system/etc/permissions.
BTW, the music app is never available on the Play Store at any time.

This is why I packed it to install them in system. I've done no modifications to the apps, so they have to be installed into the system with proper libraries.

The HTC Calendar is available on Play Store (I listed in OP), but not the widgets. That's why I also included them in my pack.

That's sounds very odd. Usually an app installs its widgets build in. Why is it different in this case? There are no widgets with the Google play app at all?
