Gapps installation script

[ric96]

This script works well with all of the recent build, given that correct gapps version is used.

https://github.com/RTAndroid/android_device_brcm_rpi3/blob/aosp-7.0/scripts/gapps.sh

I tried running this on andrpi3-20160626.img and all I get is the android logo. It will not boot past that. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I used the old gapps script and they both returned the same result. Any ideas?

i'm using Raspberri Pi 3 .Which architecture should I  select when run ./gapps.sh ? 

[Igor Kalkov]

I'm using "arm". Somebody told me that "arm64" would also work, but I didn't test it myself. 

[Hary Ayala]

Arm64 will work fine, since the rpi3 has a 64 bit processor.

[Thien Pow Chong]

if using Android 7.1 source
the thing need to change in this gapps.sh is 

at line 25
TIMESTAMP="20161026"

and at line 197
PACKAGE_NAME="open_gapps-$ARCHITECTURE-7.1-pico-$TIMESTAMP.zip"

can always check the timestamp and package name at
http://opengapps.org/?arch=arm64 
by choosing the version you are having and at Variant column pick Pico, so that it match the gapps.sh script which is using pico package.

[Igor Kalkov]

Thanks, I've adjusted the gapps script to include the desired Android version (hardcoded for now) and updated the timestamp.

Hi i used the script included in the rtandroid-7.0-20161014-rpi3 build. After the installation the google service is crashing and the playstore too. Is this a know problem or have i done anything wrong during the installation. :D

[Igor Kalkov]

I'll check it on monday.

[P& D]

why dont try to install MicroG to replace the google play server is it lightly

[Igor Kalkov]

I don't force anyone to install Google Play. People asked me how to do it and I created an installation script.

If you send me a pull request for another store, I'll integrate it in my builds.

[Thien Pow Chong]

tested it doesn't support Android 7.0 or 7.1... MicroG are way too old... map only V1.

[Igor Kalkov]

I have updated the gapps script for the latest OpenGapps and fixed some issues with package installer. It will be automatically included in the next release.

[melbpc.c...@gmail.com]

Just a note for a noob like me, on Ubuntu, had to apt install the following before running
gapps.sh

android-tools-adb
lzip

[s404...@yahoo.com]

I long suffered with gapps. And at last has established thanks to apt-get install rsync (Debian). ARMx64 I have instability.
Thank you for work.

I am facing the same problem using gapps.sh bash on ubuntu on windows. did you find a solution to get past the android logo while booting? 

[Igor Kalkov]

The script was made for the RTAndroid platform. Not sure if it can be used for "andrpi".

Can someone describe the installation process with gapps.sh script.
Where it need to be run, how etc.?

 Enable adb(over internet) on pi and on other machine run the script.

[Edouard Obeniche]

For people like me who are using macOS. It's possible to install all the needed app (tar, lzip etc..) from homebrew (brew.sh)

"tar" (on my mac) wasn't able to un-lzip the files, so i had to do it manually, maybe you shoud add a line to un-lzip then un-tar and move the files. (line 157)

(my commande line skill is that much :D but you'll understand what i mean)

find . -name "*.tar.lz" -exec lzip -dv {} ; 
find . -name "*.tar" -exec tar -xf {} -C gapps/tmp/ \;

i had to run the script multiple time, but know it works well, thank again.

change TIMESTAMP to "20171010"

[Igor Kalkov]

BTW: Our newest Android release for RPi3 has full recovery support, so you don't need the gapps script anymore.

Check it out here: https://emteria.com

microG works perfectly on Android 7 and even 8.
It includes also maps api v2, I'm not sure where you get wrong info.

[swet...@gmail.com]

Will it work for android nougat-tablet version? After istalling all those apps i observed android performance is highly degraded.

[ale...@gmail.com]

Yes, but please note that microG isn't a micro version of GApps, it is a fully rewritten from scratch open-source implementation of GApps.
