[Custom] [GApps] NikGApps [Android 10 - 12.1] [ARM64]

[acdc_22]

How can I add open source apps into the package? Like I want to have barinsta, feeder, frost, imagepipe, Google Classroom into the package. How can I do that? is there any guide on it? If it's there please help me by providing it.

thats not the purpose of the project sadly

it provides (un official) G-Apps for ROMs thats it

Its not a framework for modding to install other apps

This might give you some ideas (and theres other available by searching the forum):

Bulk Install

I did some searching but didn't find anything. Is there a way to bulk install applications if you have all the apks for those applications?

Hi Nikhil,

is it possible to get basic package except google dallier ?

@Nikhil Looks like there are some issues with the NikGapps-core-arm64-11-20210918-signed.zip (Android R) file. It didn't install some apps like GmsCore...
This is the log directory created after flashing, check it out:
In addition, I also followed your instructions to fix the error of not showing incoming calls even though there is still a ringtone by setting google dialer as default but it doesn't fix it when there are more than 1 applications on the phone capable of making calls.
If possible, can you adjust the Location permission of the Google Play Service app to be disableable? Because of that permission, that application will run 24/24, really consuming battery and network data.

Does the core version have automatic call recording in dialer? Someone said so https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mi-dialer-port-for-aosp-and-other-miui-roms.4267451/post-85585663

thanks for the report, I will take a look and get back to you.

as for the persistence of location permission, that can be done, let me try that out.

No, the website has the details regarding the package. Please check it out.

Alright guys,

Android 12 gapps are up!

Mostly everything is working (tried on AOSP - thanks to @raghavt20 and ArrowOs (thanks to @Joker_V2_0/@merothh for the build)
Although you may encounter some crashes here and there, remember the Roms aren't exactly stable yet.

The builds were already in Canary-Releases for a while (will add them now to stable too)

Changelog? check https://nikgapps.com/downloads#downloads
Download? here or soon will be here

Have Fun!

P.S. custom/config builds are also setup (with nikgapps.config v18) so go ahead and create a custom gapps build for android 12 for you!

Cheers!

I'm sorry, but can you show me the post about fixing the error of not showing incoming calls, & as forr me as a online driverv: "Is it necessary to disable Location permission on Google Play ?"

The fix he gave was: Go to Settings -> Apps -> Default apps -> Phone apps -> select Google Dialer (the name may vary by phone's ROM, but the package of that app is com.android.dialer).
But it can only be fixed if your phone only has Google Dialer, if you have more than one application that has permission to make calls, the error will still occur.

Yes, it would be nice to be able to disable (temporarily or permanently) location permission to stop apps from running in the background.
If you can make it force stop (can't force stop it at the moment, when you press force stop it won't stop) or not start automatically when the device boots up that would be even better.
Also, if you can disable auto-update and download new version in background of GmsCore (like Lucky Patcher's Modded Play Store) that would be great, I would be very grateful for that.

I've been curious for a while now, but why can't googleclock be dirty flashed? It's the only app that has this issue.

I got 5 devices running LOS 18.1 with the same issue. Only a clean install fixes this problem.

- Working for GoogleClock
- Config Value is 1
- unpacking AppSet/GoogleClock/GoogleClock.zip
  -> to /dev/tmp/GoogleClock.zip
- Unzipping /dev/tmp/GoogleClock.zip
  -> copying installer.sh
  -> to /dev/tmp/pkgContent/installer.sh
- default_partition=product
- InstallPartition is default
- InstallPartition = /system/product
- Can't dirty flash GoogleClock

This seems also to lead to the issue where it can't be installed from the Play Store either on some devices. A clean flash solves this though.

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 doesn't have stock YouTube, instead it has YouTube vanced (v14 with separate addons for v15). It doesn't have Pixel Launcher, instead it has Lawnchair launcher (Till Android Q, discontinued starting Android R)
• 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
» Macro
» 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

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/nikgapps folder
• Delete /system/addon.d/nikgapps-addon.sh
• Dirty flash Rom
• Flash newer version of NikGapps

How to remove/uninstall an Addon or Package?

Method 1 (Faster and Recommended)

• edit nikgapps.config and set <Addon>=-1 (e.g. YouTube=-1)
• set mode=uninstall
• Reflash the zip you flashed in first place to install the addon/package

Method 2

• Uninstall any playstore updates you have for the addon
• Delete the <addon>.sh file from /system/addon.d/nikgapps folder (e.g. YouTube.sh)
• Reflash the rom

Enjoy the package! hope it helps you somewhat!

Downloads

Is there any way so that I can upgrade my NikGapps package without reinstalling OS again?!?

I don't know why but my google map navigation on android auto changed to the left hand drive. It used to be for right hand drives. Menus were on the right hand side and the map was on left hand side. Now it's opposite.

 

[JeffreyArn]

It says my storage is full on flash when it's completely clean

 

[73sydney]

@Nikhil

A12, sideloading full (excluding some apps via config) onto a device with enlarged /system partition, still getting "storage is full"

Logs attached from full

edit/update:
same error with stock
about to try omni - passed - but i hate having to manually remove AOSP calendar and keyboard etc..and then add the missing apps...*sigh*

same amount of free space found on all 3 attempts

/me scratches head...

Hi all,
I installed crDroid plus NikGapps on my Samsung Galaxy A40. But something must have gone wrong. I keep getting reminders all the time "Install Google Apps". Could someone please have a look into my attached installation log?

TIA,
Phil
