system image is out of space

[jcppkkk]

At the end of make aosp+gapps for nexus 7 device, i got a error about system folder is too large to fit in the allocated size of system image. Can i change the image size safely? how can i find the max image size i can change to, or should i adjust nexus 7's partition table definition?

The property is based on BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE in device/manufacturer/product/BoardConfig.mk, for example:

BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE     :=  1006632960

If the resulting system.img is larger then this, then the Android build system will fail. You should use a smaller gapps package.

You could increase the BOARD_SYSTEMIMAGE_PARTITION_SIZE but then you need access to the bootloader, to change the partition table. I.e. it's not recommended :)

@Blystad thanks! I change gapps package type to mini and succeed in the building. The system size is just enough to be put in the system.img 👍

@jcppkkk What do you mean by " change gapps package type to mini"? How did you do exactly?

[jcppkkk]

@limxtop1989 it's in README.md 😞

2. Set the desired OpenGapps variant

In your device/manufacturer/product/device.mk file, in the beginning, add:

GAPPS_VARIANT := <variant>

where is one of the package types in lowercase. E.g:

GAPPS_VARIANT := stock

where GAPPS_VARIANT can be any of: Super Stock Full Mini Micro Nano Pico

Hello there,
I am struggling to flash the system.img for the same issue. My device ASUS Zenfone Selfie is bootlooped and that's why am unable to start the OS as well. Can you describe the procedure from the scratch for my situation please?

Hello @Blystad , @jcppkkk , @limxtop1989,

I am building AOSP from source code. The tag number is android-7.1.1_r55 for "Nexus 6" device. I am using ubuntu 16.04 with 8GB RAM. I got to know to build on 8GB system the heap size needs to be increased else build will fail [link].

But I am encountering the error mentioned below during the make process. I also tried editing the device/manufacturer/product/device.mk for various variant values for each build at start of device.mk file. I tried for: mini, micro, nano.
GAPPS_VARIANT := <variant>
as suggested by @jcppkkk , but no success.

Please help.
