Critical Bug: SetupWizard crash-loop on first boot in EROFS GApps build (20260524)

[KaiThFox]

Hi! There is a critical issue in the latest GApps EROFS build (LineageOS-23.2-20260524-GAPPS-EROFS-GSI).

The system goes into a permanent black screen/crash-loop right after selecting the language and clicking "Next". adbd drops immediately with an error: closed / failed to run abb_exec message, making it impossible to pass or disable via adb shell on stock/live boot.

Root cause:

The image has a severe conflict of multiple provisioning and setup applications baked right into the read-only partition. A find query from recovery reveals that the following apps are present simultaneously and fighting for permissions:

• /system_root/system/system_ext/priv-app/SetupWizard
• /system_root/system/system_ext/priv-app/LineageSetupWizard
• /system_root/system/priv-app/ManagedProvisioning
• Associated overlays: GmsSetupWizardOverlay.apk and LineageSetupWizard__lineage_arm64_bgNE__auto_generated_rro_product.apk

Why it's a huge problem:

Since the build is packed into EROFS, users cannot even manually mount the system partition as read-write (rw) in OrangeFox/TWRP to rm -rf the conflicting packages. Performing a full Format Data doesn't resolve the issue either, as the broken/conflicting setup configuration is locked inside the immutable EROFS system block.

Please fix the privapp-permissions manifest, resolve the SetupWizard redundancy, or consider dropped EROFS for testing GSI builds entirely.

Right now, the EROFS GApps build is completely unusable out of the box.
