Hi everybody , I was wondering if there's a way of activating the autoawesome movie feature inside google+ photos app, i'm running fuzz's cm11 kitkang 4.4.2. Also maybe it's a region thing, i'm from Romania so new features take a while to get here... any link to an updated apk would be great i'm running google+ ver 4.2.4.58179886 and the play store says it's the latest. Cheers

Slideshow feature is missing in Gallery for Picasa Web Album after ICS 4.0.4 Update in my 7310. I was able to run slideshow of Picasa Web Album in Gallery earlier in HC 3.2. I have synced all the Google Account including Picasa Web Album. I am able to view all the picasa web albums in Gallery. Slideshow is working only for Downloads, Camera, Screen Capture but not for Picasa Web Almums.
Please suggest how to fix or to make it work. Is there any free apps which will do this. Thanks.

I have Googled your problem, and there are several Motorola Xoom forums that claim the sync was removed from ICS. Others in the forum report they can sync again after installing Google+ (going back from Google+, is not a real option after that).
There was even someone who installed an older version of the Galary app, he needed to flash it by zip (lost his camera function and installed ICS Camera).
You could try the Google+ option, if not rooted. But check the forum first for more info:

Hi djcasal, Thanks for your efforts. My only problem is that Slideshow Feature is not available only for Picasa Webalbums. Otherwise I am able to sync to Picasa, Google+. This feature was disabled only after ICS 4.0.4 update whereas it was available in HC 3.2. I have one throught the links provided by you but so far no fix reported.
I figured out what @cars1189 posted minutes ago in his CM12 thread, that it will really slow down the device when you flash the GApps with the rom since the Exhibit 4G's system stuff are kinda old and stuff and needed to be tweaked, therefore for maximum performance on a daily basis, it has to be used without it.
By the way, Here's the link to the ROM.
With that in mind, here are my suggestions for apps that replace the Google Apps.
Camera:
Stock Camera or any other Camera app.
Camcorder:
Stock Camera or I'll look for a Camcorder app in an app store
Google Play App Store:
I am using Aptoide. 1mobile and mobogenie works. Just make sure Unknown Sources is checked in Dev options.
Youtube:
TubeMate (from Android Freeware) and FreeDi. FreeDi can be played through background.
You can watch YT Videos on UC Browser Too.
Maps:
None. GPS messed up. I will find solution.
Music:
Stock music app or 3rd party music app like PowerAMP or MX Player
Fit:
I've been using Runtastic.
Sheets, Docs, and Slides:
WPS Office.
Chrome:
Stock Browser (though that browser sucked)
I also suggested UC, UC Mini, CM Browser and Firefox.
Launcher:
Either Trebuchet Launcher3 or KK Launcher.
Google+:
Man, I don't know.... I will look for a 3rd party app that doesn't use Google Services, but an external service.
Gmail:
You can check Gmail using UC Browser.
Drive:
You can add a Google Drive account and view your files using ES File Explorer
Share some suggestions for apps that DO NOT NEED GOOGLE SERVICES OR GAPPS!

Basic statment to the point:
I in no way am recommending anyone not use gapps. In fact the only thing i said directly relating to gapps was: "I have never used any Cyanogenmod rom without gapps installed". And despite the rom in general NOT just gapps being slower than past roms i still use it as my daily.
I definitely in no way said that gapps will make the phone too slow.
Directly in responce:
Thats the only statment directly at gapps. The rest of it is general information because everyone always says something about performance. The rest of my statement only says that i had one random reboot with kkernel since you asked about it and then goes into detail about why going forward nobody should expect the same or better performance than say 4.4 + K^Kernel, again since you asked about speed. Now if you feel that the performance decrease warrants not using gapps because it makes it too slow then thats your opinion. I in no way meant to discourage users from using gapps. Im sorry if my post was confusing.
Other information related to this post:
While i think gapps are pretty usefull. I will admit that apps like waze not only replaces maps fairly decently but also makes enhancements. The idea of making a mundane task like driving to work potentially a fun/social event by being able to interact with others i think is cool. Do i recommend people replacing apps you mention no, but do i think presenting them to others to consider is a good idea sure some of them do bring cool ideas like that with waze. I AM IN NO WAY RECOMMENDING. However i dont think this post should be deleted either. Just dont put words in my mouth please. Again this also isnt a angry post or anything, maybe my post was just confusing this is just to let everyone know what i meant to say and how i feel, and if you could correct your post accordingly i would appreciate it.
More detail about what i meant:
Also what i meant by old system stuff is that theres most likely a bit of a performance hit because of the old binaries/libraries that could get worse with newer android versions. Sometimes we have to update our "wrappers" to these libs to work with newer android versions. If you look in logs you can see where it says something like " *lib name* uses *blank* which is *insert ineffeciant or waste of memory here* please fix ". And thats not gonna go away anytime soon. One of the few libs it said this about i did just replace, 3 of the others it mentions im working on now. Is there more? maybe idk im working on it. However they are prorpietary files replacing them isnt that easy. And this doesnt mean that gapps is slow because of our libs. In fact gapps likely uses its own libs for things it does and so do other apps maybe. However if a app does user for example anyother lib im gonna replace libjpeg(since its already opensource) if a app doesnt use their own libjpeg maybe its slower because its using our old one. Maybe if apps do use the system lib i could replace libjpeg with libjpeg-turbo since its "2-4x as fast as libjpeg" on arm neon. However the libjpeg code(original) has been unchanged since 2008 so will it be faster idk maybe compiled with a newer compiler might help.
Side note: you guys do know that the file he linked is the md5sum right and not the rom? I only mention it because more people have downloaded it than the rom, could be just re-downloads but just saying lol.
Hi. I installed a custom rom that has been removed group play app. I installed group play again (because i use it alot) and there was no option to share music or share video on that. After searching in net i found Share Music apk that enabled music sharing in group play. But my problem is Video share apk that i found in net was for varient devices and kitkat or jellybean roms that makes force close. I want Video share app that is on stock lollipop firmware of note 3. Pls take backup that from your device and send to me. Thank u very much.

So it's been about 2 months since I recieved my Remix Mini and I really like it. The biggest reason is access to Google Play games and apps on the desktop. But a big dealbreaker for me is that Google Play Music doesn't work. I saw in Jide Support that they were working on fixing it back in December and I'd like to know what has been done to fix this since then.
Hey,
May I ask more contextual details about the issue you are referring? Some of reported issues of Google Play Music have been solved in Version 2.0.111. For the best experience, please always make sure your Remix OS is on the latest version.
Cheers
Cameron
Yes, I am on version 2.0.111 and Google Play Music still will not play anything.
Our engineering team is working on a fix around this issue. We will release this fix soon.

Hey guys anyone out there not using gapps with his custom rom ? I am on Lineage 15.01 official oreo build and i dont have google apps installed on my phone.
I use fdroid and yalp store and micro g services. Apps crashes sometimes and it can get painfull but mostly everything works.
One of the disadvantages is that youtube doesn't work you can only browse it through the web. Some other applications also.
For navigation i use offline maps. With games i had no problem.
Anyone tweaked micro g to make youtube play ?
Did you tried YouTube vanced ?
Try it installing from magisk manager app.
What about newpipe ? it is available on f-droid and have tons of features that official youtube app doesnt

Thanks, i downloaded the app. Any ideas on e-mail clients, i used FairEmail for a while but it didn't work as expected. Browsing the web to open my gmail is a lot more trouble.

Outlook maybe?
i am not a big fan of Microsoft either. I am using outlook at work. I also use Microsoft Excel on my device..
But i can say that not using gapps is not a problem, the phone is cleaner and google is not on the background eating sources.
Duck duck go also is a great browser.
