The Stock set is great, eventhough personally I would've liked to have the Dark version of Vanced and

- It doesn't include GoogleSetupWizard meaning you don't have to go through the tedious process of setting up the account during first boot

also means that I have to keep a pico opengapps set to setup a rom first. All my SMS/wifi passwords/contacts and more is still in the Google backup that can only be restored during a Setup Wizard :rolleyes:

Yeah, It makes sense to include Setup wizard in stock gapps. Will do in next build. :)
As for dark version, I can create an add on zip for you. You can flash it after you flash NikGapps!

@Nikhil I have a similar project and want to include gapps and the setup Wizard but it always crashes. How did you include the Setup wizard? Is it necessary to remove any app from the system or do I have to make anything else to get it working?
Thanks in advance.

I was facing the same error before I released the latest stock NikGapps. I added com.google.android.gms.setup and it fixed the error for me. However, users are still facing this problem on some of the Roms (Worked fine on los 16 for me), I'll investigate further to find the root cause. btw what is the project that you're working on?

I tried fixing that for crDroid and Havoc but it didn't work for me, I'll check more over the weekend, meanwhile flash the attached zip to just delete the setup until I fix the issue.

If you used previous build of NikGapps that I shared, copy Velvet.apk from the zip file and place it in /system/app/Velvet folder, reboot. It should fix the issue.

If you can wait for sometime, I'll upload a new build tonight including Google app (Velvet)

@Alira rizwan khan and @khairin14 can you guys flash it and let me know if it works for you? below is the download link.

NikGapps Stock

Also re-uploaded the stock NikGapps zip. Those who have downloaded it, I'd suggest them to download it again.

Great project. Always wanted to get custom gapps since the aroma installer doesn't work anymore with twrp. I'll be testing new rom with your gapps tonight. Will edit here with the result.


Thank you.

    I suggest everyone to wait for a new build and hold on before flashing 19th April build, one of the tools (aapt2 for those who want to know) was broken on the server due to which it failed generating permissions resulting into bootloop. I'll make a new hotfix release as soon as it is fixed.

    Thanks for your patience!

    @MJPollard the way @osm0sis responded was perfectly fine. If someone is at a level of rooting his device, he must have the ability to do the necessary research/reading before flashing anything on the device.

    He may be having a bad day but it's really NOT that difficult to casually ask on the thread rather than reacting about it.

    Besides, If one reads the OP, there's a link to 'Everything about NikGapps', the very first thing one can find from the link is the android version referenced letter. The very first thing! Quoting from the website.
    A Custom Google Apps Package that Suits Everyone Needs!
    Supports Android 14(U), 13 (T) with regular updates and Android 12L (SL), 12 (S), 11 (R), 10 (Q) on need basis

    I can keep documenting every bit of the project but there's a limit to the details I can go to when I've already logically put it on the website.

    Your suggestion is very well taken and I will consider putting it for future releases to provide more clarity, but for now, I don't see this to be more important than bringing QPR2 release after I'm back from the vacation.

    I remember the first time I used NikGapps I had to ask which letter corresponded to the android version. I had no idea about the letters, and I've been using LOS for 10 years+. But I simply asked without the fuss. While I agree that dumping the letter versioning is wise (what happens after Z anyway?), RTFM was an appropriate response to the attitude given.

    Why would I? Numbers is what defines versions, and even the damn Android primarily uses numbers. just because the versions _also_ have alphabetically coded code names is Google's quirk, and there's absolutely no reason to primarily use this over numbers whatsoever.
    Assuming everyone knows everything is a really bad practice.

    Some of us understand where you're coming from and agree with you. Using letters to identify Android versions used to be the thing, but now that Google has moved to using the version numbers as of version 10, IMHO developers would help users immensely by adapting to it. Or why not use both, even? NikGapps-14-U or NikGapps-U-14, for example, would easily convey the same information to all users. But that's only my opinion; Nikhil will do what he thinks is best, and I'll be good with that as it's "his project, his rules."

    Hi Everyone,

    Here I'd like to Introduce you with my custom Gapps package that I use on day to day basis when I flash a new Rom. As I've observed many people struggling with finding the correct version of gapps to flash, I decided to build a package of my own which lets you flash stable google apps with a lot of variants so you can decide for yourself which package suits you.

    What is NikGapps?
    • NikGapps project started with the goal to provide custom gapps packages that suits everyone's needs. A package that a user needs but cannot find and ends up setting up the device installing more apps and removing unwanted apps manually.
    • NikGapps is a gapps package built from my own device. As my device is always updated with latest version of Google Apps, every time I build a new package, I am on latest and stable version of Google Apps
    • NikGapps also comes with Android Go package for low end devices.
    • NikGapps is a bit different than other Gapps packages (written from scratch, it isn't a port of OpenGapps). It focuses on providing apps that most of the people uses but can't find it in other Gapps packages and ends up installing the apps manually
    • NikGapps supports split-apks
    • NikGapps also comes with nikgapps.config and debloater.config which allows you to control your installation and debloat unnecessary stuff from your Rom respectively.
    • NikGapps is built on a different architecture, the installation method is completely different (Every Package comes with installer.sh that installs itself). Also, it installs the gapps to /product partition instead of /system partition
    • NikGapps also allows you to configure the installation, it can be installed to any partition (be it /system or /product or any other partition which may get added in future)
    • NikGapps also allows you to keep the aosp counterpart of google app if you want (just by using nikgapps.config you can choose whether to remove the aosp counterpart or remove it)
    • NikGapps allows you to dirty flash it anytime you want, it also supports installing on top of Roms with Gapps (except for the pixel flavored Roms)
    • NikGapps also comes with addon packages (useful ones) so that users don't have to flash the whole gapps package just to have the app installed.
    • NikGapps supports the Privileged Permission Whitelisting, providing the necessary permissions to the privileged apps.
    • It supports addon.d so you need not flash the package again and again after every nightly flash
    • NikGapps addon.d functionality is built from scratch which allows you to completely control which app you want to backup/restore on dirty flash.
    • It also allows optimizing Google Play Services (when you turn off Find My Device) so that you can sleep with peace without having to worry about Google play services eating your battery. (Requires support from Rom too in order to work)
    Also, since these are custom build, I can include as many packages as I want (which I do, you can pm me if you want that package)

    NikGapps comes with following packages
    » Core
    » Basic
    » Omni
    » Stock
    » Full
    » Go (for low end devices)

    Although these packages cover a large user base, there are few users who like things differently that is where NikGapps Addons Comes into picture. These Addon packages are separate and meant to flash over NikGapps original packages.

    Everything about NikGapps

    How to create your own custom NikGapps packages!

    Flashing Instructions for A/B devices (Clean Flash is recommended)
    • Flash Rom in Slot A, Flash twrp, reboot to recovery
    • Flash Rom in Slot B, Flash twrp, reboot to recovery
    • Flash NikGapps
    • Flash Debloater (Optional)
    • Reboot

    Flashing Instructions for A-only devices (Clean Flash is recommended)
    • Flash Rom
    • Flash NikGapps
    • Flash Debloater (Optional)
    • Reboot
    How to clean flash NikGapps update without losing data?
    • Delete /system/addon.d folder
    • Dirty flash Rom
    • Flash newer version of NikGapps
    How to remove/uninstall an Addon or Package?

    Here's how

    Enjoy the package! hope it helps you somewhat!

    +1 to this but without the pixel launcher because I like the built launcher
    Click to expand...

    I'll create one tomorrow. I'll exclude pixel launcher as we can install it separately and there are ported versions available which are preferred over stock.
    As for ar sticker in Google camera, I'll create a separate addon zip as the file size will increase tremendously and not everyone wants to install it.

    Time for another Q update! (12-Jan-2020)

    Changelog

    - Fixed NikGapps installation issues with config values not reflecting in installation
    - Added a nikgapps.config value "2" to retain aosp apps (set the value to 2 if you don't want the installer to delete the aosp counter part of Google app)
    - Aosp Dialer is now deleted by default starting omni package to maintain the uniformity.

    Note: set Dialer=2 in nikgapps.config before flashing if you want the gapps to skip removing aosp Dialer, the installer will remove the Dialer by default.

    Full Changelog and download links are in OP

    Thank you for choosing NikGapps!
