Error Code 70 when trying to install GAPPS

[Dylan Jones]

I installed Maru 0.4 on my Nexus 7 flo and when I tried to install GAPPS in TWRP it would not install and give to Error Code 70 (Insufficient storage space available in System partition). This is coming from fresh format and install of Maru OS 0.4.

I am getting this same error message.  I am also using a Nexus 7 2013 wifi (flo) running Maru 0.4 and TWRP (twrp-3.1.0-0-flo)

I tried to flash Open GApps 6.0 pico from Preteem's first-post link, and am curious how I can go about getting the Play store on there as well.

Thanks in advance and Much appreciated!

Thanks for the report Dylan and Alok!

You guys are right, it looks like the desktop image shipped in the system image is eating up too much space for you to install opengapps. I have filed this on GitHub as well: https://github.com/maruos/maruos/issues/66.

I'm going to go ahead and rebuild flo with a slimmed down desktop image so that there is more space on /system, and then get our N7 maintainer @Tyler to make sure everything works. I will update here when the builds are ready. Sorry for the inconvenience!

That would be fantastic Preetam!

I am ready to test when ready.

Thanks for the reply and the help!

remember how we resolved the lack of space issue when we hacked full blown ubuntu onto the Atrix?  The external sdcard was partitioned into:

a 1st partition that was an msdos fat32 partition that served as the storage space available for use as the  ext-sdcard 

and...

the 2nd partition, was a hidden linux partition (so, for example, a 32gb card with an 8gb linux partition would report itself to the phone as an 24gb sdcard containing a fat32 filesystem)  this hidden partition contained an iso file that held our full-blown ubuntu install - early in the phones boot process that iso was mounted via a loop device over the root directory of the very minimal system image..   thus we got past the space limitations imposed by the phones internal storage space limitations

and, changes made to the full blown  system did not affect the minimal image - so, on the frequent occurrence of borking the full install, we just rebooted without mounting the iso and used the intact minimal installation much like a factory recovery partition.

A nice script was developed that automated building the full install from the minimal by downloading the packages, modifying the config files and rolling it all up into an iso..

perhaps this situation could benefit from what we learned from the Atrix Webtop

Actually, the atrix ubuntu was run as a chroot to the /osh directory,   the full ubuntu image was mounted over /osh prior to invoking the chroot but after mmcblk0p13 was mounted to /osh.  certain virtual file system directories such as /sys /dir /proc were linked so the chrooted webtop had full access to them in it's root directory (/osh) as we were not trying to jail the webtop but rather were trying to get it to peacefully co-exist with android.    this differs from your situation a bit as mmcblk0p13 was where the problem was for us - thus the ubuntu minimal install   wasn't competing with /system for space,  the problem in the atrix case was simply that partition 13 was only 800mb and the partition table of mmcblk0 could not be altered... 

However, the /system partition had so little space available that something had to be sacrificed to install su and the custom busybox...

@jason Thanks for the info, interesting to know how the atrix worked
