CM 14.1 GApps Issue - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had CM13 on my Nexus 4, which worked ok.
I updated my Nexus 4 from CM 13 to CM 14.1 ( Google 7.1 base)., an overwrite update. The phone is sane but not surprising the Google Apps including the playstore are dying. I assume I need to update the exisiting Gapps to 7.1 and further assume the OpenGapps 7.1 arm stock is the right one.
The Gapps 7.1 installer terminates for insufficient space. The Nexus 4 has a 828MB system partition with 237MB availalble. Although the log shows no existing Gapps, it finds about 180MB of items to remove but is still 481MB short of being able to do the installs.
I've tried excluding as much as I can in the Gapps flash, but I'm still about 280MB short. Is there anything I can do other than wiping the phone, repartitioning and starting CM14.1 from scratch?

OpenGApps Stock package is way too big for a successful install, use Pico one. Restore your CM13 backup (assuming you made one) and flash CM14.1 nightly and Gapps both at the same go without rebooting the device. In case you didn't made the backup, factory reset is needed before flashing.

Thanks!
Actually since I didn't have a CM13 backup I just went and flashed pico on my CM14.1. It seems to have worked and solved the problem.
I also added GEL via the play store and have OK GOOGLE working too., as well as Google Calender and Youtube. I don't know what else I use that pico left out. I don't use the Google branded media and game apps.

installing gapps on custom ROMS

When I first installed CM 11 M1 from stock kitkat, I didn't have the playstore, so I had to download the gapps package.
Ever since CM 11 M1, I've tried different custom roms, but everytime I flashed them from the custom recovery, they all came with the playstore.
Should I be installing the gapps from the package?? Or can I just install the apps from the playstore??
Either way works. From the play store you can pick and choose what you install and can be uninstalled without jumping through hoops because they install as user apps. When you flash gapps, they typically go in as system apps and are a bit more troublesome to get rid of if you don't want everything in the package.

Addition to what said above, just open the gapps package ade delete which ever apks you don't need. This way you can get rid of the apps you don't want to install as system app. To me, modular PA gapps or banks core gapps is enough. You don't need to flash full package gapps.

This is because gapps has updater script and as long as you won't manually format system your previously installed gapps will remain in a new rom. (including play store)
Installing apps from gapps package via recovery will install the apps to system partition.
Installing apps from play store will install them to user data partition.
In order to save space in user data I recommend installing the gapps you need to system partition via recovery.
Thanks for info guys :good::laugh:

[Q] Gapps in Android

Hi, for testing purposes i installed the lastest omnirom on my device (jflte).
In the installation guide it says that the gapps are installed seperately with a zip after installing omnirom (similar to cyanogenmod).
But after starting my device i noticed that gapps are actually already on my device, same for the jflte rom of cyanogenmod. In TWRP i made a complete wipe just to be sure. Did i do something wrong? I'd rather choose the gapps package i want to install or not instead having them preinstalled on my device.
So, are the gapps are really prebuilt in the custom rom i loaded? Or are there any other i missed? Anyway, is there a way for me to remove it, either removing the whole package after installation or by building a custom rom, and is there a common and safe way to do that, or is it even enough to remove only the apks.

Wipe the /system partition to remove Gapps - Omni doesn't include Gapps. Neither does CM. But both have a script that will restore your old ones from previously. Just use TWRP to wipe /system and you can do it. Or remove /system/etc/addon.d and they will be gone after a reflash

Flash Gapps -> Stuck on Axon Logo

Hi,
Just installed ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B11 via here following instructions. I have the Chinese phone version by default.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873487&postcount=4
Loads fine, I install SuperSU, couple of other minor packages through TWRP, everything works fine. Each time I'm clearing cache after install.
Then I install Gapps from http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64, 6.0), I have tried Nano and Micro, again clear cache and instead I get stuck at Axon boot logo.
Clearing cache again doesn't help, the only option I have is to wipe system and re-install OS but no gapps I have tried has worked.
Any idea why this might be the case? Thanks.
The phone that I got originally did have google play incidentally, probably installed by the aliexpress seller, but I'm not sure how. I had to wipe it earlier though.
Gapps are designed for custom roms. They probably don't work in the Stock ROM you are trying to use.
Have you unlocked your bootloader first? Have you installed the no-verity patch? Otherwise you won't be able to boot a modified system partition.
Yes, unlocked bootlader.
Oh wow, I had no idea, I thought gapps was a generic installer.
That explains it, I also didn't realize you could install Google Play through ZTE Market either.
All working now.

Google play keeps crashing LineageOS d802

I have problem with flashing LineageOS second time.
I used LineageOS before. And I've decided to flash the updated nightly build. And I do the clean flash, wipe system, and data. Flash ROM, and then flash GApps again. (I knew after that I don't have to clean flash to update my nightly because it will erase your previous google account settings)
After installation I rebooted into the system. In the first setup wizard, At Google account login, it says "checking info..." and then crashed with the message "Google Play services has stopped". I've tried many flashing methods, and also flash ROM without GApps. But it same in the system. I can't add google account and can't open the playstore either. I tried with different build and different GApps packages and it went fail and fail again. Please tell me if you have any ideas so I could run 7.1.1 again. I would appreciated it. Anyway I'm at CloudyG2 3.3 right now and using TWRP blastgator 3.1.0-1.
Thanks.
That's why it's called "nightly".
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nightly_Builds :
Nightly builds are alpha builds from the latest development code. By their nature these builds are likely to contain bugs or might even cause data loss.

Sorry to say, but you got to deal with it till the next build shows up.

SOme apps like Backdrops after installation makes my phone to restart and whet it boots up it shows "google has stopped responding " also "process system is not responding" and then is restarts again. I tried reflashing several times but nothing seems to work.
1. Wipe Art/cache system, data, internal
2. Install HEX Firmware

4. Install arm 7.1 pico gapps

How can I install the firmware?
The link of hex firmware is in RR thread. And you flashed marshmallow gapps on a nougat rom. Flash arm 7.1 gapps.

Still the same problem
I think the problem is with new playstore every time I download certain apps it crashes.

First, I would like you to know that you DID NOT follow the instructions correctly. INSTRUCTIONS said, you will flash Opengapps 7.1.X ARM not 6.0 Marshmallow. Links were already given but still you did not follow.
Download the correct gapps package - ARM > 7.1 > Pico.
Code:
http://opengapps.org
Dirty flash it but if there's still an issue, you can clean install your RR 5.8.5 Final again and flash the gapps 7.1.
Good luck!
