From 34d1335191805e42f7e43bcdecbb1431b11ebe10 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: br4nnigan <10244835+br4nnigan@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sun, 1 Dec 2019 19:59:57 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] use sideloading for gapps install The manual install doesn't work for all users (e.g. me) and is inconsistent with the LineageOS install guide (e.g. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/santoni/install). Sideloading the Google apps package instead of the old two step way is consistent and easier, too. --- pages/gapps.md | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/pages/gapps.md b/pages/gapps.md index fdbd934bad..dd020f9caf 100644 --- a/pages/gapps.md +++ b/pages/gapps.md @@ -30,7 +30,7 @@ Google apps should be installed via recovery **immediately** after installing Li {% include alerts/important.html content="If you reboot into LineageOS before installing Google apps, you must factory reset and then install them, otherwise expect crashes." %} -1.
