Hi,
I downloaded MindTheGApps for lineage 18.1, when i tried to flash GApps after the successful flash of Lineage 18.1, it’s keep throwing a error of “Not enough space for GApps! Aborting!”. I am flashing it on samsung galaxy note 10.1 GT N8010 . i tired almost every solution i can find on the internet. but nothing. GApps are not getting installed.
I just want only one app Google Play store. can you help me on this.
Somebody suggested the reason for this kind of error is because of TABS are used instead of spaces in “update_Binary” file. i changed it but nothing happened. please help.
Hi twice today I have tried to download the MindTheGApps for Android 11 zip file but both times it comes up with “Failed – Forbidden”.
Any suggestion have to fix this
If you have somehow landed on the Access Denied page, then that happens because of caching.
I have cleared the cache. Please try again and let me know if this happens again.
Hello!
I tried Niks gaps, but nothing works.
I install everything by TWRP, whipe all, install lineageOS18 for Samsung s5 first, than gaps and I whipe. After a new start, I get Android 11, but I can not even find a texteditor to fill in the wireless data.
Does anyone know why Maps keeps crashing on LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) with unofficial open gapps?
For LineageOS 18.1, MidTheGapps is the recommende GApps. Can you please try that and see if the issue is resolved or not.
Ciao, stesso tuo problema con samsung S7 ho risolto installando queste Gapps: Apps-arm64-11.0.0-R17_signed-20200923.zip
Thank You for your share…
utilizzo un samsung galaxy s7 con lineage OS 18.0, e non trovo un pacchetto di gapps che sia compatibile.
Non so per quale motivo ma quando vado ad istallarle, mi da sempre un errore, se mi rispondeste mi fareste un favore visto che senza le gapps non riesco praticamente ad utilizzare il telefono
