I flashed these gappsover mokee ROM and after boot it keep saying- Google keyboard has stopped :( .
I went to language and keyboard option and set the default one to English but still no good. The keyboard simply doesn't appear.
What's wrong with the gapps guys? Why this error?

Is there anywhere to undo the de-bloat script? I've searched and can't seem to kind anything.

I have a stock Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 running Fire OS 4.5.5.2. I have tried to "boot into recovery" with no success. How exactly do you do this? I'd be grateful if you would post simple, step-by-step instructions so that I may get GApps installed on this wonderful 3rd generation device. Many thanks, K

    Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1 are now available! Check here for details and download links.

    FAQ

    What is Google Apps Minimal Edition and what makes it different from other GApps packages?
    Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x is a modified, slimmed down version of the Google Apps package. The goal is to provide the smallest GApps pack possible while de-bloating your custom ROM (bloatware removal script is listed in Add-On section). The GApps Minimal Edition only includes the absolute essentials to make everything run properly. This includes the Google Play Store, Google Play Services, Google Contact & Calendar Sync, along with the necessary libs, frameworks, and priv-apps.


    What's included in GApps Minimal Edition?
    GoogleBackupTransport.apk (Handles backup of settings)
    GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk (Google Calendar Sync)
    GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (Google Contacts Sync)
    GoogleFeedback.apk (ForceClose reporting)

    Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0 has arrived! Visit the thread here.

    Note: 4.4.x packages will be maintained for the next nine months.

    Special thanks goes out to @androcraze for testing and providing feedback. Without him/her, Android 5.0 packages would of taken much longer.

    Apologies for the lack of updates everyone. As I am sure most of you are already aware, exams are taking up most of my time. I will be pushing out major updates for both 4.4.x and 5.0.x GApps packages Friday, December 12. Thanks everyone for your patience!
