[GAPPS][2015-04-04] Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1.x

[deboshir29]

Hello everybody! Please tell me how to remove ALL of GAPPS using TWRP? Maybe there is some kind of script not to calculate all the components one at a time ?

You'll have to wipe your system to remove all the GApps.

And kill the firmware to restore from a backup is the same ? No, thank you . Or just gapps stored in the system ? I need to remove only GAPPS.

Does it work with Touchwiz?

No, of course you have to flash your ROM again afterwards.

#1 You'll need a script/flashable script that remove stuff from Gapps. (You can write if you can. We don't have)
#2 You can restore your gapps-less /system backup. (Clearly you don't have one... so just skip #2)
#3 Go into /system delete Gapps stuff one by one. (You can open the Gapps file you flashed, so you"ll delete what you see on PC.)

There's nothing more about that. I don't think that there would be more solution. It's all stored in /system partition.

The flashing of the GAPPs package "gapps-5.1.x-20150404-minimal-edition-signed.zip" give a signature verification error. Please reexamine this GAPPs package for correctness.

I think jajb is on a long vacation. I'd normally avoid linking to a "competing" thread, but DeltaDroid is doing almost EXACTLY what jajb is with his GApps:

Until jajb comes back on-line, try Delta's version.

Thanks for the lead.

I shall use Delta's version for now or at next flash of the GAPPs.

jajb's GAPPs packages are much smaller than respective Delta versions.

You're looking at it wrong.

The install packages are larger, but the end result is the same; the files installed are exactly the same.

Delta's version just includes the install files for multiple DPIs. Only one DPI is installed. It's much easier to maintain one version instead of four.

I thought this might be the case.

I often do change the DPI value after installing the Android operating system and after first OS boot.

So is jahib's version compatible with mutiple DPIs? If I were to use Delta's version, would there be a mismatch in what DPI the operating system uses and what the GAPPs use?

Looking at the directory structure between the two, I'm not seeing much difference in terms of the DPI install. I think jajb's setup for DPI is the same as Delta's. For your intent, you shouldn't see any difference.

In the year since jajb released his last version, gms files have grown in size, so that will contribute somewhat to the size increase.

Delta also includes Facelock and Dialer, which I exclude from install (see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68579774&postcount=2).
