ALL THE GOOGLE APPS IN ONE PACK
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS -- PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING




What is gExperience?
Its a pack that has ALL the Google Apps in one single place for which you can select individually what you want to install! This pack not only has the standard Google Apps but also what is available at the Play Store, including restricted apps not available in every country. It also has inverted versions for available apps. It also tries to install all possible apps to /data partition so you don't end up with no space in /system. Finally, you can choose to uninstall undeed files for your language (like Offline Google Now, Pico TTS). All of this fully customizable thanks to Aroma Installer.​

What is included exactly?
You can check a list here. Please note that as of now there are some apps not available for install (even though they show up in the installer).
These unavailable apps are:
  • All Google TV apps (if someone knows where to get them, please PM me)
  • Google Catalogs (if someone knows where to get it, please PM me)
  • Google Apps Device Policy
  • Google Apps Lookup
  • Google Chrome to Phone (1 request so far)
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Authenticator
  • Google Finance
  • All Google IME
  • Google IO 2012
  • Orkut
  • Schemer
If I receive 5 or more request for any of these apps I will try to include them

How do I install this?
Just like any script in CWM Recovery. Just select the zip and let Aroma guide you through the rest.​

Can I install on my NOT Defy device?
Is my understanding that this script should work with no problems with Bravo and Milestone 2 devices. It should work with other devices as there's no device dependent scripting. Please note that this pack DOES NOT includes FaceLock as it is not supported for my device.
Currently known supported devices:
  • Defy

Is there anything else I should know?
YES, please be aware that whatever you choose NOT to install will be DELETED from your device (if you have that app installed obviously). This only applies for apps installed with gExperience.​

Can I install on top of my full size gapps?
You can, but it can lead to unexpected results. One thing you have to understand is that the app name can have any name (it will not affect the name of the app when you install it). For example, I can name the YouTube apk as "XDAYT.APK". It will install normally and with no problems but there's no way for the script to know the name of the file of every app installed so this script will only install and uninstall apps installed by itself. You're probably better off installing this on a fresh ROM with no gapps installed.​

Can I translate it to my language?
Sure you can! Please point your browser here: http://www.getlocalization.com/gEx/

Languages supported:

Can I send you my calibration_matrix data?
You don't need to do it anymore! Amarullz updated the Aroma Installer and now calibration is not required anymore!:victory:​

I want to report a bug! What shall I do?
Try to give me as much information as possible (like gExperience version, device, apps selected, etc). Also you could save the log right after the script finishes. You will see a "Save Log" button on the bottom left hand side.​

This is too much for me! Is there a lighter version?
Yes, please see this thread.​

Great Work!

You've done a superb job of bringing together all possible Gapps...
Loved your older release...

Will flash this one as soon as the next JB build from Quarx comes out. :)

I would like to think so, yes. It should work with every device available but right now is a work in progress. I've posted in the Defy subforum as I have a Defy and I can support it. You can try and let me know how it goes! (Please do a backup first).
Tried it out, but some apps force close.

Can you tell me where it is at?
Just updated the OP with this info:

Can I send you my calibration_matrix data?
Yes please. I will add it to the installer so you don't have to calibrate Aroma installer every time! Just download calibration.zip and then install it via CWM like any other script (Press Power button on first dialog to select no). After finishing the new data will be written to calibration.zip. Send it to me and let me know which device are you using! YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT BE MODIFIED. IT WILL ONLY GET YOUR CALIBRATION DATA AND FINISH​
