I'm using f-droid now, so no need for custom/small gapps anymore
If you're still looking to downsize your gapps, feel free to check out stuff like this as mentioned by b1k3rdude in the last post
Old Post Below:
So, you just installed this fresh ROM (most likely CyanogenMod-based) and you want to start using the market, but installing the stock gapps gives you alot of stuff that you plan on deleting and/or downloading anyway?
Fear not!
I present to you 4 update-scripts that will simply and only install Google Play without bloat on ROMs with no gapps installed - all the libs in the gapps-zips are left intact.
So you can start getting only those gapps you need via market and not waste precious space on /system.
Gingerbread (2.3.x): http://code.google.com/p/no-bloat-market/downloads/detail?name=gb-signed.zip
Ice Cream Sandwich (4.0.x): http://code.google.com/p/no-bloat-market/downloads/detail?name=ics-signed.zip
Jelly Bean (4.1.x): http://code.google.com/p/no-bloat-market/downloads/detail?name=jb41-signed.zip
Jelly Bean NEW (4.2.x): http://code.google.com/p/no-bloat-market/downloads/detail?name=jb42-signed.zip
If you are fine with leaving out the libs/permissions/etc (and maybe not being able to run all the gapps from the market...) you can just load the matching zip and adb push the 2/3 minimum requirements to /system/app
Thats the no-bloat version to just get the newest market and save even more space, but use it at your own risk.
The minimum needed apks are...
For Gingerbread:
Code:
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Vending.apk
For Ice Cream Sandwich/Jelly Bean:
Code:
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Phonesky.apk

This is fantastic, another step towards minimalism bliss! :highfive:
That's fantastic.
Good to know somebody actually found these useful
Also, not just a shameless bump: Updated the APKs to Google Play 3.9.16
Works brilliantly. Just what the doctor ordered.
Much appreciated.
Regards.
(Tested on latest PA CM10 on Sensation and S3)
excellent. works on CM9.

thanks for this! is awesome! i like this minimalism. i also use also the calendar and people sync. i've just realized that the simple copy in the /system/app folder isn't enough. Can you help me, please?
so, did you clean the cache and dalvik cache after pushing the files to /system/app?
and if you're using the script to push the files: I didnt include any delete routine, so you have to delete all of the preexisting files from the filelist (its meant for a clean cyanogenmod install after all...)

THANK YOU! :laugh: i didn't clean anything! i'll try as soon as i can!
Very Useful
Thank You Very Much
Just realized that they changed a few things with 4.2, so you can now download seperate updatescripts for 4.1 and 4.2
I notice that you also removed links to previous versions.
very good thank you!

If you want them I could upload the previous versions to goo.im or some other site, just wanted to keep the post clean and not too crowded with different downloads
No, the new version is great. Was just making an observation.
the thanks button is a good quick way to acknowledge that you've read a post. :thumbup: sent from the p509 that I thought I killed... just a temporary setback
Permissions
Hey thanks for your the zip. It works well. But I found a little misstake. You need to copy over the /etc/permission files otherwise a few apps in the market wont work (Incompability). At least for me they didn't.
The original idea was to waste as little space as possible and tbh I didnt think anyone would install a debloated gapps zip and afterwards load all those gapps via market
Main problem that I see here is that the size difference is quite a big one, like if I just replace the 3 apks in a stock JB 4.2 cm-gapps zip, get rid of all the unused apks and leave all of the libs/etc it goes down to 86 MB (from 104 MB) while my JB 4.2 zip is just 6 MB to start with...
I'll look into it for the GB zip, but not so sure about the JB ones.

I believe that quite a number of users want to have just the Play Store going, after a fresh ROM install, so that they have the opportunity to install the apps, including Google ones, as user apps.

Didn't realize the permission files were that large, so d'you think the libs are required as well?

I'm not sure if all the libs get installed when installing gapps via google play, so its easier to play it save and just keep everything (except for the unused gapp apks so I can free up the /system a bit)
Will look into the whole thing over the weekend, expect some updates on sunday...

Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )
Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^
Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect
hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''

Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.
Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.
Hi there
I'd like to make the lightest zip possible to install ONLY Play Store to an AOSP JB ROM (without Gapps).
What are the minimum apks and libs needed for google play to run on android ?
Thanks
Any chance ?
I did not thought I could be alone to look for that !
Well I guess that most of the people around are using the Gapps.
Long time ago, when I was on CyanogenMOD 7, I made this and I got 5 days of battery life But not remember which app they were exactly. For sure Play Store will not work standalone. But you can try to use a root explorer and start to copy the other apps one by one or in combinations until it works (you should to reboot after each change to see the effect). This is a slightly outdated article but may help you.
When you have the stuff working you can share the minimum required Gapps or directly attach a flashable zip for others to use.
Good luck
Pick a gapps zip, remove everything besides those 3 files:
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Phonesky.apk
Or just push them to the device via adb
Just tested it on a Nexus 7 with freshly installed CM10
I've searched up the forums and I did not get the solutions I sought.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini ST-5570, running on CM10 27 August nightly build. When I attempted to flash gapps, Play Store didn't appear at all, no matter which one I flashed (2 August-signed or the one by KonstaT). In the apps list (manage apps), Play Store wasn't even there. Is there a way to fix this problem such that when I flash gapps it would appear?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Try flashing another one. Make sure the one you flash is for your android version.
CM doesn't contain gapps, so, download the apk of play store, and copy to your sdcard, them, open with any explorer

This won't work because it needs to be installed as a system app.

Actually, I have just found out the root of this problem - my phone has "not enough space available", so I had to do all the "adb commands" to delete all my ringtones and unnecessary stuff -.- But the problem is, my internal phone space gets rather low recently.
I would love to try out the inverted gapps sometime. What is it actually?

Gapps is a package containing certain Google Apps (that what it means). Usually these apps are not found in the market (anymore). It also contains some Google framework files. That version may be smaller, containing only the essential stuff.
make 2 partitions in your sd card, them, install link2sd, after that, transfer some programs to sdcard, after that, install gapps in recovery mode:

Instructions:
Note: This APK should work on Android 4.0+. You do need to be rooted.
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
Important: Once Google updates Gmail in the Play Store, you will want to revert this process or at the very least delete the Gmail 4.2 APK you installed here if you want to update it from the Play Store.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer. There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 apk.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Remount /system for writing (via your favorite root-aware file explorer).
5. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
6. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 5 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
7. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
8. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 8, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

I'm thinking about installing CM10, but I have a couple of quick questions:
Does the latest build still have over clocking leading to "burnt NANDs"?
Which gapps zip do I need to install? Super stripped? (What if I install mounts2SD, can I get full gapps then?)
Have the force closes in the camera been fixed now?
Will mounts2SD work with CM10, allowing me to install as many apps as I want? And has anyone tried installing it with the Play Store app?
Thanks for any help.

Hi ya
How are you doing??
1. If you Flash with latest kernel ,which is not overclocked, it'll not probably produce burnt nand.
2.super stripped only
3. Full gapps is a total junk ~ they go to /system ~you can symlink them to app ~system in mount2SD. Big work
4. Camera AFAIK is totally unstable ~at least for me.. some say it's better etc. As always third party cams work fine (you can read my signature link to know more)
5. Ya.. it'll work. Mount2SD will let you install as many as you want as per size of SD ext ~however kernel 3 has problems mounting SD ext ~some partition types ~but once it works, it'll work for ever until you change recovery or change partitions
6. I am using the play store version. Working fine for me. I would've recommended play version for your stock Rom as well, if they released mount2SD @ that time

Awesome, thanks for your help. Here's hoping I manage not to completely mess up my phone haha.
u cn use the signed GAPSS, if you prefer....
You unzip the Stripped version, and the Signed GAPPS....
Copy everything from the SIGNED GAAPS that are ALREADY present in Stripped version... rest throw in trash..
RE-ZIP.... you got a SIGNED STRIPPED GAPPS...

USE the STRIPPED VERSION OF GAPPS!
INSTEAD of m2sd,use INT2EXT!! IT manages your data more efficiently!!
AND THE LATES cm10 beta#6 (oc 800Mhz) doesn't burn your NAND!! I TOO AM USING IT!!
