Add google play services to Android-x86 8.1-r1 (Oreo-x86)

[Đỗ Khoa]

Hello all,

I build an image from android x86 source http://www.android-x86.org/releases/releasenote-8-1-r1 and flash to NUC PC Model NUC6CAY.

However, after finish flash, I cannot install google play services and google play. Google play services always crash when I open google play. I see that the image was released by http://www.android-x86.org included all google services. Does anyone have any idea to help me install google services to my image?

Thank you,

Khoa

Hi, You can follow this modop : https://github.com/opengapps/aosp_build

I juste notice you, the path of the manifest is in .repo/manifests/android-x86-X.X-rx.xml or the default.xml file if you dont used special manifest to DL (like -m android-x86-8.1-r1.xml at the end of the repo init commmand)

And you don't have to put these 2 lines :

<project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/arm" name="arm" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="nezor" />
<project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/arm64" name="arm64" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="nezor" />
You depend of x86 not arm and it can make you issue if you put them.

after add it, do your `repo sync` commands.

and the makefile to change is in `device/generic/x86_64/android_x86_64.mk`, add package of opengapps you want. (comparaison here : https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison)

I Hope this is usefull.

Regards, Bastien

Thank you, Bastien.

I tried to add gapps  to source then build it. Therefore I can use google services.

Thank you.

Sorry to revive an old thread but I can't seem to get OpenGAPPS to sync by following the instructions.

In my default.xml file, I added the following to the end of the file (pointed to nezor per the updated instructions):

<include name="android-x86.xml" />
<remote name="opengapps" fetch="https://github.com/opengapps/"  />
<remote name="nezor" fetch="https://gitlab.nezorfla.me/opengapps/"  />

<project path="vendor/opengapps/build" name="aosp_build" revision="master" remote="opengapps" />

<project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/all" name="all" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="nezor" />

<project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/x86" name="x86" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="nezor" />
<project path="vendor/opengapps/sources/x86_64" name="x86_64" clone-depth="1" revision="master" remote="nezor" />

In my device.mk, I added these lines:

#OpenGAPPS
GAPPS_VARIANT := pico
GAPPS_FORCE_BROWSER_OVERRIDES := true

GAPPS_EXCLUDED_PACKAGES := FaceLock \
    PrebuiltGmsCoreInstantApps \

...

#OpenGAPPS
$(call inherit-product, vendor/opengapps/build/opengapps-packages.mk)

When I try to run "repo sync", I notice it's not fetching anything related to OpenGAPPS since the Vendor folder is not created. Not sure if I made a mistake or something else is causing the problem.

Like specified in my previous message, you should edit the android-x86-8.1-r1.xml instead of default.xml to add gapps to your repo sync. I dont know if it works inthe default.xml.

And then, like i said too, you should edit device/generic/x86_64/android_x86_64.mk instead of device.mk To add Gapps configuration details.

It still work here today.

Try creating a new manifest file and including it instead.

Hi,

sorry for the almost  off-topic,

with pie-x86 we're having issues of stability with google playstore core apps,

but I've only tried with 8.1 .apk packages

I wanted to ask if someone has tried the OpenGapps procedure with pie-x86 and if result is a stable system

If not tried yet I would like to try myself to achieve stability to allows Apps tests (tests are now stuck!)

This step is important pre-requisite for pie-x86 release with existing graphic stack.

Spoiler here: Next step, I am trying IA-HardwareComposer + minigbm grallloc1 with Intel and the Graphic stack is stable, next thing I would like to perform some apps tests with Intel and then extend tests to amdgpu, radeon, nouveau with IA-HWC & minigbm gralloc1 and also minigbm gralloc1 with drm_framebuffer in case of incompatibilities with IA-HWC.

Sorry for offtopic Mauro, but what's the current status of the Pie branch, especially the graphics side of things ?

Graphic stack with drm_gralloc is on par with oreo-x86 status, all good and booting ok, to Graphic stack is ok,

then there are GUI reboots due to some other issues partially resolved in Bliss-OS branches,

but I cannot apply the framework/base series

nouveau is still having  "Recent button" causing SystemUI crash, it seams related to an "EGL not initialized" error happening only when clicking on Recent button.

NOTE: in mesa pie-x86 branch the nouveau locking patches set is the new experimental series by Karol Herbst,  git merge of official mesa/19.0 (19.0.5) is possible without conflicts to be resolved

It would be nice to have some more people helping triaging and attacking the nouveau driver last issue to finally have it stable.

Just a quick update. Bastien's instructions worked. I manage to compile and install 8.1 R1 with Google Play installed right from the start. I misinterpreted his instructions to read that I can use device.mk and default.xml as usual.
