link for GAPPS is bad

This is great. gonna try out the new Android N DP 3 first then probably switch over to this. I'm sure DP3 is still very beta.

Just a heads up the link for the GAPPS is showing the text "404 not found" message when I click the link.

Any chance you can re-upload the GAPPS or is there another link you can supply.

Thanks so much for all your hard work on this. I love my NP.

Good luck man! Have fun.

You may want to update the changelog based on a different devices PN changelog. If you copied the one from DHackers OP, it was quite dated. For ex. we are on 6.0.1_r44 now.

Oh and a quick heads up. Nate is rebasing EVERYTHING.

If you want to try to update Fugu to the new base, sync PN in with the branch mm2 selected.

Most excellent news and congrats, but concentrate on school for sure.

Will the Android TV launcher stay the one dhacker had built in, the one that is semi configurable? Thinking of retiring my Moms Roku and giving her my NP since the launcher is so much less cluttered.

Idk I need to learn how the build system works because its my first time maintaining a ROM :D
but it will most likely go back to stock. ( don't ask me to mod apks )

If you have any questions, hit me up on Telegram (same username) or Hangouts ([email protected]).

Quick note, Leanback Launcher NEEDS to remain 'PRESIGNED', and the cert needs to be Google's. Otherwise you won't be able to use any of the services that tie into Leanback Launcher. Unfortunately, with ATV, the vendor repo needs to remain almost untouched to prevent signature errors.

Don't count on a reliable openGapps. It's a really weird build compared to normal Gapps. I can send you a homebrew script to pull updates if you want to build your own, or just hit me up in pm and I can add a new build to my AFH folder on release days. I'm subscribed here as well.

What is your issue? This build works fine with Netflix.
