Apps won't install since frf83 update

Since I've updated from modaco's frf72 r18 rom to the latest r19 rom I can't install any apps... not just from the market, but directly from my sd too.
I ideally would like to go back to the stock rom with no mods.

I have factory reset/wiped and reverted to the FRF83 stock rom - and now the majority of apps install. The only apps that won't install are Google apps - like Google Sky Map and Google Earth, and the Mod Install Location app which I really need. Any explanation for this?

I've been having random issues running the same ROM but only apps I try to install from the Market. They'll download then just sit there. Sometimes they will install and sometimes they won't.

I've been getting the exact same thing on FRF50, FRF72 and now FRF83!
I can manually install from SDcard 'Download' when the Market install process stalls after download, but this obviously doesn't then update the app status on Market 'My Downloads'.
I've done the usual clear data form the Market app, reboot & login method to no avail. Very frustrating
Any ideas much appreciated!

This happens to me with apps from my SD card too.

you can try to push them with adb shell.
adb push /pc/directory/apkfilename.apk /system/app
and then reboot.
Or you can open the zip file, add/remove the ones that you want, sign the zip file and flash away.

Yes I agree with this but some apks are dependent of some other apks so really unsure what apks I can remove safely as keeping only apks which I want will not help I will hve to keep dependents also and I'm unsure. I found dream works very fast if gapps r not loaded so looking fine tune n remove non required gapps!

Well, it means no play store so it's not helpful for me at least, i want to remove anything besides google maps and play store.
Anyways, thank you for your hard work!

Alternatives to Google Play Store are:
Aptoide
APKTOP
APPBRAIN

And we cannot use location service.

Does it work in jb also? I would really need it!
Edit: Yes it does! Great thanks!
Ps. I don t use this zip to get rid of gapps completely, but to clean gapps before installing a different gapp zip or when switching from ics to jb and viceversa ! (Full wipe don t delete gapps and some roms don t delete them also so this zip is very useful!)

It should work for any Android Phone I think

Updated with new code

I am getting installation aborted.
I am on 4.1.2. I had mounted system.

It is a bad .zip... You should try redownload zip

there appears to be an error in the zip... installation aborted message.
can you please reupload.

Can this be done manually with adb by deleting each app listed in updater-script ?

DOES NOT WORK. I get error 6. I think the ZIP is messed up.

[FLASHABLE ZIP] Remove GApps in ROM: now supports Android 10
NOTE: script no more maintained. Even not try it on Android 11/12/99.
There by default not possible to edit files on system partitions (here patch) and their quantity has increased.
Also firmwares even more depend on gapps so risk of bootloop even higher.
Script in first post very discounted and therefore deleting not all files.
Here's updated version. Script automatically mounts /system and /vendor, you don't need do it by yourself.
Script compatible with Android 2.3...10.0
Guaranteed delete will be only on custom rom's with built-in or OpenGapps and Pixel / Nexus / Android One firmware due of possible other file naming in manufacturer stock firmware.
I tried to collect all files related to Google.
Script removes apps from /system and /vendor partitions. Probably some of them was updated and additionally stored in internal memory.
So you need manually delete a bit of remainders as normal app.
Batch deleting available with root in Link2SD
Some bits of files can left on device (like important WebView), but almost all other will be removed.
Also here open source version of gapps (microG)
IMPORTANT!
– Maybe some stuff or whole ROM will broken after applying this ZIP because modern firmwares very depends from gapps
– I've tried to remove as much possible Google-related files
– don't apply script after wipe /data, only after first boot. Otherwise execute these commands
– Before applying set Settings > Apps > Gear icon > Default apps > Voice & assist > both to "None" (source)
– Script removes Google Launcher, install 3rd-party app or device will not boot!
– Script removes stock Google keyboard, install 3rd party before applying!
– Script removes Google Dialer, install 3rd-party before applying!
– ...and many other apps
– Apps that display Google Maps can't be installed
– A lot of apps requests Google Play Store and Google Play Services which will be removed
– Network location will be unavailable because it's part of gapps
– Recommended to wipe dalvik-cache to rid out of unused odex-files
>>> Use it at your own risk and make full backup via recovery before flashing! <<<
Previous more "lite" version: remove_gapps_2.3-8.1.zip

Bonoboo said:

Here's updated version attached to post.
Script automatically mounts /system, you don't need do it by yourself.
Disclaimer: _maybe_ some stuff or all ROM will broken after applying this ZIP.
Use at your own risk.
Especially apps with embedded GoogleMaps such as Foursquare, Instagram and many other.
They will be hidden in Play Store and can't be installed manually because of lack of framework for it.
So there's two versions. One with prefix "Safe" keeps framework.

Kind of an odd question but can this work on a CM7 build? If not can you give me ideas to create my own?

Very slightly updated archives, added 2 new files. Please, read that post again.
Now will delete old gapps > compatible with CM7.
Hope it helps.

Help with cyanogen gapps

I want to try cyanogenmod and install all that is needed, obviously also vending and stuff but I don't want to have goolge+ nor hangout not gmail. Can I install gapps and remove them 100% safely? Is there a way to install only a subset of the apps contained in the zip? Any solution?

Best thing to do is to just flash the gapps then manually remove the apks of the apps you don't want from the system. You could modify the zip (remove apks) resign it and flash the 'lighter' zip, but make sure it is done properly because the last time I done it I ended up in a bootloop which pretty much wasted my time.

What do you mean exactly? Should I flash, boot up, and with a file browser seek these files and delete them, or delete them after flashing, without letting my device boot up?

Flash the ROM then the gapps, then reboot the device via the recovery. Once it is booted use the built in file manager (or your own choice manager) with root access to remove the apks. Once removed reboot the device and your done. This is what I always do, I don't like messing around with zips.
Also be careful of what you remove, if unsure then google the apk name, better safe than sorry.

Or alternatively you can use a claimed to be lightest gapps package.

I'd also recommend using a light/slim/small gapps package, you can find many of them on xda. If some apps are missing (like Gmail or maps), you can install most of them from play store once you have the Google service installed (they are on any gapps package)

Go for the pico modular package from the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

Remove all AOSP apps

I am wondering if someone can make a flashable zip to remove all AOSP apps like phone, contacts, calendar, calculator, mail etc. All this apps are old dinosaurs apps and I am replacing them every time when I flash ROM. Also same thing with Music FX or DSP Manager. Because I am using Viper4Android I have to remove them before I flash Viper.
I have no skill come to that but will be nice if someone can create flashable zip or aroma installer which will remove all of that. Anyone?

"...old dinosaur apps..."
That still work. But I understand where you're coming from. With Google now updating most apps included in AOSP through the Play Store now the versions still in AOSP no longer get updated. What are you replacing these apps with, and is it a flashable zip you're using or a manual install?

If you install "Stock" or "Super" OpenGapps, it automatically replaces them I believe.

Yes, also with aroma open gapps I can simply replace anything I need. But, there is a catch. All this apps when they get updated in Google Play they stay where they are and new copy is installed like a duplicate. So you can uninstall update and get back to old version. That part I don't like. Why on Earth I need old app?
While apps installed from Google Play when they get updated they will be simply replaced. That is the reason why I would like to create aroma installer to remove all this apps from the system. Then I choose pico apps and everything else grab from Play Store.
I believe that make sense, right?

There appear to be duplicates because the original GAPPS package installed the AOSP version as a System App. When the app gets updated from the Play Store, the update is installed as a User App. So when you re-install/dirty install with the Stock or AROMA package, it does remove the System version, but not the Updated/User Version.
The only way around this that I know of is to not let apps update or install the desired GAPPS package from the very beginning.
There are also flashable mods that remove GAPPS, like this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/themes-apps/script-google-apps-debloater-t3446118. It works on the Nexus 6 as well, although it doesn't remove 100% of what it says it does. It's been hit-and-miss for me, but does work for the major debloat (international keyboards).

Dirty flashing instead of updating core apps is just to much to play for me. I don't have that time anymore ;(
I like to keep it simple is possible.
That script is very similar to what I am trying to do. I need same thing but with AOSP core apps plus music fx and dsp manager to be included also. That way my way of flashing will look like: flash ROM, remove AOSP core apps, flash pico open apps, flash viper, supersu... done
Now all I need to do download the rest from G play. Updating will not make any duplicates. All is clean, lean and fast

I am updating them with original Google versions from G Play.

If you really want to do this, the best way is by doing, because it's unlikely anyone is going to do it for you. Download a flashable zip from the forums, unzip it, extract the updater-script from the META-INF folder and open it. See what the script does, and then try making your changes to that script. Each app you want to delete will be on its own line in the script, and each will use either of the following commands.
Code:
delete("system/app/folder/apk");
delete_recursive("system/app/folder");
In the above, folder is the app's folder, and apk refers to the app itself. The first removes individual files. The second removes entire folders.

If you can boot into OS before removing them, then you can just root your device then get a file manager that you can give root access before going into the filesystem and just deleting the apps from there.
