Custom partitioned internal storage, updated OS, now impossible to install Google Apps

[Stefan]

@tilia

to enlarge my internal storage of my FP1 I did a partitioning. My internal storage ist now aroung 5 GB.

@urs_lesse

I would suggest to install the storage upgrade instead of a custom partitioning.

Why is it not there? How can I make the storage upgrade?

I assume it is not there because the Updater app detects that you do not have the original storage layout anymore, but a different one.

The online developer community XDA wrote a nice tutorial, how to flash the FP1 binaries. If you use the following file to flash

1.8.7 FP1U and FP1 with upgraded partition layout:
FP1_Fairphone_OS_v1_8_7_FUSE_Image_2015-08-14.zip (~200 MB)
md5sum: 2d7a2e804b976624dfc89707dd9a546b

you should directly land on the latest version of FP OS (1.8.7 in our case) and will be offered the option to install Google Apps.

You’ll find more explanation here:

Google Apps can't be reinstalled

Ok, this is for now the only working methode of getting GAPPS and 1.8.5 working on a FP1 model having gone the manual 1.8.5 FP1U route. Beware Only use this method if you are absolutely sure you are fine with flash your phone using SP Flasher! Warning Only use this method after a BACKUP! (or if you already used the Recovery route, in which case you probably wiped your data partition anyways…) To get you kickstarted, you need: SP Flasher v5.13.52 - http://d-h.st/w6v (click the BLUE download …
