[CUSTOM][GAPPS] BiTGApps for Android

[TheHitMan]

BiTGApps Stable Release (v1.9)

We are doing this release after more than 3 months, so there are alot of changes. Lets break it down step by step:

• This release serve Packages in two categories, Standard and Variants. Standard BiTGApps Package is minimal which includes the Core Google Apps like Google Play Services (GMS), Google Services Framework (GSF), Google Play Store and other essentials. Variants like Basic and Omni which includes everything from Standard with more useful Google Apps like Dialer, Contacts, Messages, etc. Variants have different set of Google Apps.
• Updated Additional Packages (Addons), with major fixes in ARM Platform and some required in ARM64.
• Updated core google apps from Android 7.1.1 to Android 10 for both ARM & ARM64 Platform.
• Updated Pixel Launcher, fixed text select feature in Android 11 and added missing ASI package.
• Smart Space, its a new feature in this release to fix low space issue on dirty flashing larger package. Suppose you have installed BiTGApps Omni Package of 400MB and now you're left with 100MB's or even less space in system. Obviously re-flashing is not possible unless their is sufficient space. But with this feature, installer first check for already installed GAPPS and then exclude entire space occupied by those GAPPS means the requirement of free space is ZERO. With that, you will be able to re-flash package even if 100MB or 50MB or even less space left in system. Shipped our own version of Busybox to achieve this.
• Addons must be installed on top of BiTGApps before first boot.
• SetupWizard is already included in BiTGApps (Standard & Variants).
• Many fixes and improvements under the hood.

Hey, I don't completely understand if it's possible to upgrade from standard BiTGApps to Omni without losing all my data. Which partitions exactly do have to be wiped in recovery for this to work?

Don't think many people at all would like youtube filling up their device flashed in gapps. Among others is Revanced, which has no ads and is more customizable. Easily installed after flashing

BiTGApps Debloater

Make BiTGApps Happy

Debloater came useful, when you want to install BiTGApps but running out of some couple MB's in System. This allows you to remove selected system apps. You can even use this to remove system apps, you think of less value or left unused.

Features

• It can remove apps from system, product & system_ext partitions.
• It can handle folder name like, If system has ModuleMetaData folder then you just need to write module in debloater config.
• It can also take care of capital & small letters in name. You don't have to write something specifically in debloater config.
• Add debloater list to OTA survival script, upon ROM upgrade the same set of apps will be removed, leaving sufficient space for BiTGApps restore. At this stage, we don't need debloater config which makes it easy to use.

This feature will be available with next BiTGApps Release. You just have to add Apps List in debloater config.

Trying to use the latest OMNI with CRDroid in Poco F3. It doesn't start the Android Setup wizard but the CrDroid version. How can I force it?

I tried an old setupWizard.zip I had lying around. This starts the Android Setup Wizard however connectiong to (any) WiFi network is impossible.
