Market without GAPPS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possibile to install only the Market? I don't need other gapps

Use titanium to remove what you don't like.

or if you using ics go to settings -> all apps and disable what you dont have use..

Can i like edit the gapps zip to remove apks i don't need?

The three apk you need for Market to work are: GoogleServicesFramework, GooglePartnerSetup and Vending.
For it to work correctly copy the apk(s) to "/system/app". Set their permission to: RW - R - R, and reboot.

Thanks I'll give it a try

I will Be Updating This Thread As Soon As More New Ports Will Be Done.
Currently Ported Applications In this Tutorial:
1. Haykuro's H-Virtual KeyBoard (Done By Me)
2. PDF-viewer Application (strazzere)
3. Camera Application(Done By Twistedumbrella)
4. Gallery Application (Force closes on opening Videos, Images work fine)
5. Music Application (works)
Note:
1. Now The Update.zip contains all The applications listed above
2. The Handwriting Input Force Close Is Now Fixed, So U have 3 types of VK to choose from, which are swappable from the Settings -> Locale & Text
3. The HTC-Camera app Force Close Is now Fixed, But still Effects & menu options Except Settings Dont Work(Thanks to twistedumbrella)
4. The new HTC_IME.apk need the clicker.apk for calibration which is now added.
5. Please Download the update.zip & Flash It as if U flash any new firmware
IF U HAVE THEME INSTALLED, PUT THE Camera.apk & Music.apk FROM THE THEME IN THE BACKUP FOLDER​
Download: The update.zip archeive from here & Copy It to The root of Ur Sdcard i.e. /sdcard/update.zip

Changing / Swapping the Virtual Keyboards
i.) Go to Settings -> Locale & Text & Tick Which ever Virtual Keyboard is needed & untick others...
NOTE: Installing the HTC Camera will also remove the old Gallery app with the old Camera, So HTC Gallery is also provided But It is Not able to Play Videos Currently, So try installing Astro or any video player, Meredian Player too works It Has An Video Player
Search Market For 'astro' or 'Meredian'

Installed the keyboard and it works nicely. It force closes a few times, but that's a minor annoyance.
THANKS for the Keyboard port!!! Works great on Lucid JF 1.5.
Your BAT file worked perfect... no issues.
I LOVE the Blackberry Pearl like Compact QWERTY keyboard for sending texts... my fat fingers work better on those bigger keys. Less mistakes.
thanks for the ports man..waiting for more..
Hi,

Any chance you can try to get the messenging app over? I'd try to push it, but I don't have a copy of the H-build one.
I'm referring to the H-build one with the dark bg and white text.
Not work on ADP1.5H
Can someone reupload it Rapidshare says its been downloaded to many times.
Can you upload that clicker.apk? I already have the HTC_IME running on JF1.5 but the calibration is the only thing missing
Clicker.apk

Themed Gmail & Market

I am providing these Apks for Gmail and Market (vending) to install on the tablet. I am only providing because I have installed and they work for me. The dark theming on the galaxy tab section is nice but there is now matching Gmail & Market.
This is taken from Glasstopia theme created by MWBehr on the g2x forum.
Translucent & Inverted GMail
Translucent Market (From theimpaller747)
OPTIONAL .Nandroid or Backup your existing Gmail and or Market (vending) apk. If you don't like these you can revert back. Tested on Overcome 1.6.0 & 1.6.1 should work up to 1.6.4. Should be able to install on any device.
Instructions for installing apk with root explorer:
1. download apk or apks your sd card
2. navigate to file and copy or move apk or apk's
3. navigate to system/app
4. tap on r/w at the top
5. paste all apks
6. change permissions to match the other apks's in the system/app directory.
7. reboot

[ N900W8 with KK ]Google Now Launcher works nicely if your ROOTED

Root privileges give you the power to break you device use at your own risk.
Just wondered if any one else discovered this yet?
I upgraded to KitKat (thanks Polish_Pat) Knox 0x0 rooted and recovery
Was annoyed that we didn't get any of the KitKat goodies so have started to get it sorted they way I would like it. Love android!!
First up (and easy)
KitKat Google Now Launcher and its two dependent files
(Ok Google works for me as well as swiping left for Google Now ).
-------------------
Down load this zip
Once you have it to your phone use a file browser with ROOT privlages ( I use pro version of Root explorer) navigate to where ever you saved the file and un zip it. Root Explorer does this and will ask if you wish to navigate to the unzipped folder, do so now.
1) Install GoogleHome.apk (if you haven't already you will be prompted to allow the install of UNKNOWN sources)
2) Copy PrebuiltGmsCore.apk to SYSTEM/APP/ changed permission to rw-r-r-
3) Copy Velvet.apk to SYSTEM/APP/ changed permission to rw-r-r-
4) Reboot
again root explore will do all of this. With a long press on the file it will give you options to choose from. Select permissions and uncheck or check what ever you wish to set any permission. For this particular task you will want to UNCHECK group write and others write this will set you as rw-r-r
click OK.
Do this for both files listed above and then reboot.
-------------------
In my continued effort to get as close to AOSP KK I have also managed to replace Sammies Clock app with the AOSP Clock which is smoother (in my onpinion only).
If you want it
Down load this zip file
Extract as described earlier and install it as any other app. Then you can disable the stock app by doing a rename these two files (Root users only can achieve this stock will have two clock apps)
ClockPackage_OSup.apk to ClockPackage_OSup.apk.old
ClockPackage_OSup.odex to ClockPackage_OSup.odex
--------------------
Now I want to try getting the KitKat Dialer to work but I suspect that won't be so easy.

xposed GEL didnt do it for me for some reason, will test your method soon
Just installed the GoogleHome apk on a non rooted 4.4.2 Note 3 running stock firmware and everything works without any other modification. (Including Ok google).

[Q] Create own gapps package

I am on cm11 and I want to create my own gapps package , I downloaded the google stock package from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and just removed the apks I don't need.
For example I want the new camera and google gallery but I want to keep the Trebuchet launcher. Unfortunately after I removed the google home apk, the script removed Trebuchet anyway so I ended up with no launcher at all
What do I have to change in order for that to work?
thanks

Why not download a smaller gapp package, then take what you need from a larger one and place it in the apk? Never remove the home.apk or launcher.apk ever.

So can I just take this package http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps for example and just add the new google camera apk , does it override the aosp camera and gallery for example?
Take Banks Minimal package: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/themes-apps/gapps-t2012857
You only have inevitable files then add what you want.
do I have to flash those separately or can i just put them into one zip?

Apps are available on Google Play so install the apps you want then manage them with TiBu.
thanks I managed to do what I wanted
FYI, you would need to modify the updater-script to prevent it from deleting what you want to keep, etc

[June 11,2017][100% Working][5.0+][Android O DP3] Pixel Launcher from Android O DP3

Hi ,
It's the update of my first zip on Pixel Launcher , no many changes this time
I'm Not responsible if you break your device, but don't worry if you follow those instruction , nothing will happen to your phone/tablet/...
do not hesitate to ask me question , I'll answer you as soon as possible
How to install:
-Uninstall Pixel Launcher
-Reboot into recovery
-Flash My Zip
-clear dalvik/art cache
-reboot
-you're done
If there are any problems , reply this post and I'll solve it
If pixel launcher is installed as system app , you'll need root to uninstall it before flashing my zip
you can uninstall it by 2 methods :
1st method :
- download some root uninstaller from the google play store
- uninstall this app
2nd method:
-download a root explorer ( like root browser)
-go into /system/app or /system/priv-app
-search for the folder named "NexusLauncherPrebuilt"
-check if the apk into this folder has the pixel launcher's icon
-delete the folder
Leave a like if the thread was helpful
Downloads:
Edit#1: I removed the cringy lines, I couldn't take anymore to wake up at 4AM and think about my first posts...
And IDK where the link is, but I don't think it's useful to anyone anymore...
New update
Changelog:
-fixed P in priv-app folder and app data can't be cleared
How to install:
before flashing it make sure you removed the old folder " Priv-app" with the capital letter P
the one with the little p is part of your system, don't delete it , if you aren't sure who is the right folder ,you can clic on it and see if there are more than 1 folder in it. If there is more than 1 folder , that's the wrong folder
but keep at mind :
--->DELETE ONLY THE FOLDER WITH THE CAPITAL P <---
Download:
reserved too
reserved (if I need one more )
Hey Man,
installing this zip, the launcher will be installed in Priv-app folder (with capital P) but LOS folder is priv-app (with small p).. And it requires to manually move app. Not a big problem, but maybe you want to fix the installation script..
Thanks for the app :good:
