Raspberry Pi 4 Install Gapps
I'm trying to install Gapps on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Emteria. I've had no issues getting Emteria up and running, however I've not been able to get Gapps installed.
I have:
- Installed and booted Emteria
- Enabled Developer Options
- Enabled Allow ADB via Ethernet in the Emteria options in settings
While Emteria is booted I am able to connect to the device from adb on Windows, however if I try to use the adb sideload command, I get the errors:
adb: sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators foundadb: trying pre-Kitkat sideload medthod...adb: pre-Kitkat sideload connection failed: no devices/emulators found
I'm not sure if I should expect to be able to sideload Gapps while Emteria is booted or not.
If I reboot to recovery, I'm aware that Emteria for RPi4 does not currently have TWRP, but in the recovery menu there is a load from ADB option. If I choose that the device appears to tell me to go ahead and use adb sideload.
However, while in this recovery state, the RPi4 doesn't appear to be connected to the network via ethernet or WiFi (not sure if I should expect it to be) but adb devices shows nothing even when the RPi4 is connected to the PC via USB, so I can't use sideload there either...
Anyone got any pointers?

Hi @dominic_ks. We do not provide direct support for GApps/GMS, as it usually leads to non-obvious legal problems, but we are totally looking into TWRP support. Please see https://forum.emteria.com/discussion/1079/how-to-enter-twrp-recovery-mode-in-emteria-os-11-x-rpi4-like-a-rpi3/p1?new=1 for more details.
Hello @kalkov thanks for the reply. Understand the point about GApps, any advice you can offer about sideloading anything which TWRP is not supported, which may or may not in fact include GApps...?
@Jan_Kehren, do you know if USB ADB is supported in recovery mode?
@kalkov @Jan_Kehren If it's not I'd like to know what method you can use for ADB in recovery, since networking doesn't seem to be available, and I'm assuming that connecting a Pi to a PC using USB to power the device should work since when booted Windows will show it connected as a device / drive.
