[APPS] GApps package [not continuing, last update Jan 13,2011]

With Cyanogen Mod 7, you can choose which Gapp you need when you set up the first Gmail account, as a CM 7 user I no longer update this gapps package.
By the way, the gapps package is only to be used with CM6.

If you have already installed your ROM and have been using it for a while, you may also try this more convenient way to move updated apps from /data/app to /system/app if you have Titanium Backup installed :

or you could manually move the files with Linux commands.. both options, IMHO and no offense whatsoever to the effort put in to these packs, are better than waiting for update zips.. use the market as it was intended

Thanks to Carig for providing the above procedure
-------------------------------------------
By the way. It's easy to make an update package by yourself!
Here are the steps that I used:
1. Download any gapps update pack
2. On your phone, update Google apps
3. Find your updated google apps' APK files in /data/app, copy & paste them onto your SD card
4. (optional) if you Want to immediately apply your update pack after making it, uninstall updates of all your updated Google apps from Market
5. copy updated APKs from your SD card to your computer
6. use any Zip file manager (e.g. 7-zip, a free one), open the old Google apps update package (the zip file)
7. Carefully re-name your downloaded APKs to the names in the update package (e.g. rename com.google.android.gm-1.apk -> Gmail.apk)
8. copy and paste your new APK files into the Zip archive
9. (optional) sign your package, using Zip Signer (freeware on Android Market) or using this tutorial:

Thanks man, it's so useful to me everytime I flash a nightly : )

Thanks a lot!

Thanks very useful

thankyou very much

I would love to see a program which can work with exchange Group adress lists. That together with a nice email widget is moving me towards sense all the time.

Good Stuff! Thanks

what abt market?

If it's not already on /data, will this move it?
Prob a stupid question...
What if we already have GApps installed and we don't want to wipe?

Maps 4.7 is out.

Thanks guys, new pack is now up, including updated Maps, soundback and Terminal Emulator, rebased on CM's gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip.
This update package will not automatically remove updates which you already done in Market, but it's easy to remove them. Just go to Market and "uninstall updates" to all your updated system apps.
I'm currently learning how to make update script, I hope I'll implement that feature later.

Thanks for your work, I'll keep an eye on this thread too

Thanks a lot,
Now I'm on holiday so I'll give them a try I'm very new to Android development.
I had few problems with the Terminal Emulator, I can not simply replace AndroTerm.apk with newer version, it will force close if doing a clean installation (flash rom then immediately flash the update package)
I'll look into this problem....

Hey guys

[ROM][17/11][Updated] Custom GB V21A Lite ROM by c.o.h. Fast, Smooth & Problemless!!!

[ROM][17/11][Updated] Custom GB V21A Lite ROM by c.o.h. Fast, Smooth & Problemless!!!
Here is my brand new custom ROM based on the SECOND leaked Android 2.3.5 GB ROM (V21A) with a lot of modifications such as:
Fully DEODEXED and ZIPALIGNED!
Added FM Radio!
Kept LG launcher, added ADW Launcher (Now you choose which one to use ).
Removed some battery consuming LG Apps (Application Manager, LG PC sync, on screen phone, Battery widget, remote call etc..)
Removed unnecessary sytem apps (Today tips etc.)
NEW Google Nexus Bootanimation (Removed startup and shutdown sound).
NEW Framework with Batterymod and new font (Sonysketch), removed Notification toggles from the notification bar (Music toggles can also be removed from music app setting) etc...
Alternative frameworks (See attachments),
3D Games and some of the widgets such as LG weather, SNS etc. kept.
Added a new 3D game; Archercraft.
Added 3D photo program; Phereo.
Added adblocker "Adfree" (for blocking ads in ad supported apps).
Added QuickPic for fast wallpaper change.
Added evernote with widgets and removed richnote (much better).
Added Adao file manager.
Added latest version of sytem apps such as Youtube, Maps...etc.
Latest video enabled Gtalk (front cam has problem however).
Added mobiscan QR for barcode scanning.
Added CsipSimple for voip.
Fixed Superuser with the latest SU binary
Rebooter doesn't boot into recovery in LG GB based roms, so i removed it. Use "ROM manager" for this.
and more....
Around 260 MB of RAM free after the first install including all the vital apps!
I don't take any responsibility for any problem! You do take the risk and use this ROM by yourself.
You need to install the O3D baseband for GB before starting!
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1331814
You don't need to install the GB baseband again if you already have it installed.
Instructions to install:
1. Download and extract the zip from:
http://www.multiupload.com/8S760WAO70
and put the folder named "2011-11-17.19.30.21" into your external memory--> /_ExternalSD/clockworkmod/backup
MD5 Hash values:

cab39fbc608074a34d7ab955492d3993 .android_secure.vfat.tar
2. Enter the recovery by holding 3D button and Vol+ while booting the phone.
3. Wipe data/factory reset.
4. Wipe dalvik cache.
5. Format system from "mounts and storage" menu
6. Restore the folder 2011-11-17.19.30.21 (downloaded and extracted file) via CWM-->backup and restore-->Restore.
7. Reboot and enjoy the currently fastest O3D Gingerbread 2.3.5 ROM V21A fixed!
8. Press thanks button if you like it
Problems:
Some reports having problems regarding market and gtalk. I never had this problem but if you have it just uninstall gtalk and market ( first backup them via Titanium backup), restart, then reinstall them (again using Titanium backup with option install app only, not app+data). The problem will be fixed.
For the Hybrid ICS settings and some more related to ICS download the attched apk and push it to /system/app (it has a problem for showing battery consume data though )
To revert default notification toggles, use the attached cwm zip
To revert default fonts, use the attached cwm zip
Note: I don't use cwm flashable zip in this version as it causes some non-specific problems. I use cwm restore folders instead as i can also tweak settings, etc (You need an sd card though to install it). So this version doesn't have any problems and is tweaked further

Screenshots:

Going to try this Quick question, when you say it wont be done until a few hours, whats in the zip file you link to to flash? Or is that an older ROM?

It seems you gave a link to your previous ROM. When I tried to download it my download manager said it's already done. File name is coh_lite_O3D_GB_v2.2.zip, is it right?

[MOD] Debloater for LineageOS & LineageOS Based ROMs

Debloater Zip​
This is my first MOD.
I just made a zip for my own use and I'm sharing it here.
I personally don't like the system apps which come with LineageOS and LineageOS based ROMs. We all flash GApps and then end up having double apps like Calendar (Google Calendar and Stock LineageOS Calendar). This consumes more space in your "/system" partition.
I tend to remove these apps and use the ones provided by Google instead in "/data" partition. This saves space in "/system" and also doesn't allow to have double apps.
Hence I made a Debloater zip, I know there are various zips out there which can help you debloat your ROM, but they also come with installing something or other.
This zip is a pure Debloater zip. It will just remove the apps which are not used by many in general.
Code:
[SIZE="2"]The list of apps which I have removed from "/system/app" & "/system/priv-app" are
[LIST]Calendar[/LIST]
[LIST]CMFileManager[/LIST]
[LIST]Email[/LIST]
[LIST]Exchange2[/LIST]
[LIST]ExactCalculator[/LIST]
[LIST]Jelly[/LIST]
[LIST]PicoTts[/LIST]
[LIST]Launcher3[/LIST]
[LIST]Trebuchet[/LIST]
[LIST]Gallery2[/LIST][/SIZE]
If you guys want any particular app to be removed apart from these, I can make a separate zip file for you personally.
Don't forget to hit the Thanks button if you like my work.

V 1.0 Removes Everything listed above
V 1.0 Doesn't remove CMFileManager
V 1.2 Doesn't remove Launcher3 and Trebuchet
V 1.3 Removes DocumentsUI too

Your welcome. Thanks for the gapps-config file, I'll look into this later on. Seems nice.
Edit: The config file is nice, but that's too much work to do, If anyone personally wants it, it can be done. I've made that same process easy by making this zip.

Code:
delete_recursive("/system/app/Email");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Exchange2");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Calendar");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Jelly");
delete_recursive("/system/app/Camera2");
delete_recursive("/system/app/CMFileManager");
delete_recursive("/system/app/messaging");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Launcher3");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Trebuchet");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/DocumentsUI");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/Snap");
delete_recursive("/system/priv-app/OmniSwitch");
I use this code to remove all the bloatware while flashing the ROM zip
Removes most the things (can be used for other LOS and AOSP based ROMs too)

Hi
After flashing the v1.1 the phone is stuck at Android is starting. I could access the settings via the notification dropdown but the home screen just shows android is starting. Help please.

I would recommend you to do a clean install once again.
Also I have not been using OP2 since a while now hence I am unaware about the recent developments in the ROMs, so it might have been because of some changes from the ROM side too.

[DEV][TOOL] Shadow53's Flashable Zip Builder

Making flashable zip files for Android devices can be… frustrating.
For those who have never tried, here are some of the more irritations:
You use a very limited scripting language called edify to write your install scripts. So limited, that some people replace the binary (update-binary) used to parse the script (updater-script) with a normal shell script that performs the installation instead. What’s the point of having update-binary and updater-script, then?
Any app installed to /system/ with bundled libraries in the apk need to have those libraries extracted in order to not crash.
Various system files need to be created to grant certain permissions to apps by default, and you need to know the syntax of each one (usually some dialect of XML).
If the correct permissions are not set on an installed file, it can cause the system to bootloop.
The Solution:
I’ve created a program in Go that reads entries from a configuration file and builds a flashable zip for you, while taking care of the implementation for you. The name is simple: Zip Builder.
Features:
Configuration files can be written in JSON, YAML, or TOML.
Supports Android versions since 5.0 Lollipop
Automatic generation of updater-script and an addon.d persistence script.
Automatically extracts libraries from apps being installed under /system/.
Can specify different file or app sources for different versions of Android and/or CPU architectures. updater-script will only install the files for that particular system.
Validate downloaded files with md5, sha1, and/or sha256.
F-Droid interoperability: Specify the repo URL and app’s package name, and zip-builder automatically gets the rest of the app’s information from F-Droid’s repository, including a download link for the latest version of the app.
Remove any files you specify, e.g. apps that you are replacing with your own version or apps/files you just don’t want on your system.
Standalone binaries available for Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows. Android binaries (to use in a terminal app) coming soon.
Linux binaries may be usable with Termux on Android, though this is not tested or supported.

I'm currently working on polishing up a new release of a different project of mine, then I'll have time to look it over.
Per your PM, though, you said busybox wasn't in the location that the zip assumed it was. Can you search through your system and tell me which directories contain either busybox or toybox? (I believe busybox was found in two different folders when I flashed Lineage before)

I had a little bit of time to flash a beta Oreo ROM for my phone and had no issues with things getting copied to my system correctly. If busybox is in the location that the script expects it to be, it's not obvious what the problem is.
The log you gave me seems to show that it mounted your system and data partitions correctly, detected that a folder did not exist, and then exited normally.
Have you tried an updated zip recently? A little while back I had the script output the found values for Android version and CPU architecture. It's possible it got fixed along with whatever I was working on at the time.

Re-downloaded microg.zip from @Shadow53's page. Now it works as expected.

Pushed a commit that should hopefully fix the issue @marcdw reported in the MicroG thread at https://forum.xda-developers.com/an...y-services-t3217616/post74531435#post74531435
@marcdw, I rebuilt the zips with a build containing the fix. Can you confirm that the libraries are now loading correctly? Things are working on my end, except for the patched Play Store requiring a reboot before working.

@rottenwheel do you really mean xposed? I have the impression magisk gets more attention.

@Shadow53,
I had actually edited the updater and add-on.d scripts to use the short names on most of your zips and all was good.
After work I'll start anew using your rebuilds. ?

As read on the microG thread:
Although XDA community and most Android modders tend to side with Xposed-based solutions, I need to emphasize this is not the absolute case. I rather to stay away from it as much as I can, because it's given unstability to my devices as soon as I start tinkering with some modules; as soon as I get it removed from my setup, bugs are gone. I don't want to engage in unrelated discussions here, I just wanted to let you know your zip solutions have been working like a charm and many of us will miss if you lose enthusiasm about it. Keep it up and rocking. Thanks to you, getting microG onto our handsets is easier.

NanoMod is optionally a Magisk module and has nothing to do with Xposed, though I appreciate the sentiment.
*If* I were to lose interest in this project or in providing scripts, the code for the zip-builder is open source and contains the build recipes I use for all of the zips I provide, so it shouldn't be too hard for someone to pick up if they wanted to.
That said, I have no intention of stopping providing zips any time soon, though development on the zip-builder itself is slow because university is keeping me busy. I use my zips too, so I gotta be at least a little invested

Howdy sir. My apologies for not getting back. Work got in the way.
The zips work perfectly. I setup two ROMs on my Axon 7 with microg-playstore, no-gapps, and hacker. Not a single hiccup with the included apps or Play Store. All is good.
Must say again, I like the apps included in no-gapps.zip. Most of those I use and have to get manually from F-Droid.
Perfect with Dark ROM which has no apps or launcher and thus no worries of duplicate functionality (like two cameras, two calendars, etc.).
I see Firefox has replaced Lightning. Haven't used Firefox since v28 so I get to see what the new one is all about.

Awesome. Been looking into how to get F Droid and Micro G plus most other things to work for my sm-g900p!
Really not liking the way Google has been going.
So looking into HOW to get that this to work for me.
From what I had seen so far....
PLEASE keep working on this!!
Thank you Shadow 53!

I'm glad to hear that it's working for you. I'll be posting a new release on GitLab around the end of the week (yay finals...)
Regarding the no-gapps zip, most included apps also remove the AOSP equivalent if present, with a couple exceptions such as Silence for SMS not removing the default SMS app and Firefox not removing the built-in browser, both to avoid potential issues.

Awesome. Been looking into how to get F Droid and Micro G plus most other things to work for my sm-g900p!
Really not liking the way Google has been going.
So looking into HOW to get that this to work for me.
From what I had seen so far....
PLEASE keep working on this!!
Thank you Shadow 53!

Development of the zip builder is stalled right now, largely due to time. It works great for what I need at the moment, but I will work on bug fixes for things that come up. The zips are rebuilt every week by a cron job on the server, though packages containing the official Play Store may not get updated if opengapps updates their version (which changes the URL). I try to catch that, but I don't always have time to check.
I'm considering putting together a comprehensive gapps removal zip that should remove as much trace of Google as possible from the device, including any application data. That will take some investigation, though, and so it shouldn't be expected soon. If/when it comes, it'll largely be for removing installations by opengapps and Beans gapps, as I can't account for all differences between OEMs.

Hey no worries about updates being "stalled"!
I know what your going though believe me. Can be such a frickin headache!!! Not to mention anxiety that some poeple get this time of the year!
AM certainly glad to hear that you are still somewhat working on it though. Plus frim what I can see, this has not been out long, so I don't thing others may even know about it!
I believe they will!!!

Running paid apps having a license verification at runtime
I installed a recent LineageOS for microG (build date 11/29) on my Samsung Tablet SM-T800 (chagallwifi) and added root by flashing the zip provided by LineageOS.
I first tried Yalp Store (version 0.29, downloaded from fdroid), but then figured out that I cannot use any paid apps that make use of a license validation at runtime. However, there are some paid apps that I require.
I did some reading and it seems like the installation of the original Google PlayStore is a solution.
So here are my questions:
1) Can I get paid apps running when I install the original PlayStore as a system app following the procedure described on the blog shadow53 (sorry, cannot post the link cause I am a new user, but it is easy to find when searching for 'shadow53 android downloads')?
2) Is there anything I have to do in addition to flashing the PlayStore zip?
3) Does flashing the original PlayStore give rise to any conflict with the FakeStore that comes installed as part of microG? If so, how do I remove the FakeStore?

1. Yes, you will be able to check licenses at runtime with the Play Store installed.
3. Yes, they use the same package name, so having both apps installed causes a conflict. Depending on where the FakeStore is installed, the Play Store zip may recognize where it is and automatically remove it for you. You will see some output while flashing, something like "Deleting existing file /system/priv-app/Phoneksy" if it was discovered (file path may be different).
If it does not automatically remove FakeStore, find the directory it is installed in and delete it, then on next boot modify the playstore addon-d script to delete that directory. You should see where and what to change when you open the file. If you do not make this change,
2. You may have to manually remove FakeStore with the above process. You should also look at https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/faq/playstore-not-loading/ regarding other gotchas with getting the Play Store running and https://shadow53.com/android/no-gapps/faq/playstore-incorrect-signature/ if you use the patched version of the Play Store.

The addon.d survival script dosn't work on my rom (play store patched). I use lineageos with microg on nexus 7 (flo).

Whether addon.d stuff works depends on the ROM. Some ROMs have a backup feature during flashing but a lot do not. Does LOS support addon.d backups?

LineageOS has addon.d sopport. Maybe you should post a recovery. Log

After installing the microG Lineage fork on my own device to test, I realized that the Play Store zip marks FakeStore as something to remove on initial installation, but not across system updates. The addon.d script doesn't re-remove FakeStore.
Try downloading the latest version of the zip and installing it. FakeStore should stay uninstalled now.
In other news, I've decided to make my no-gapps zip into multiple, similar to the various OpenGapps zips. This means a larger selection of open source apps that can be installed, including some more replacements for AOSP apps. I'm working through a couple bugs right now potentially related to these zips, then I'll add an update with more details.

[ARM64][GApps][1st Feb 19][8.1.0/9.0]After Flash 4.0/NikGApps

Hi Everyone,
Okay, Let's come to the point.
We all flash Roms on frequent basis. After we flash any Rom, we flash Gapps, our favorite Kernel, Magisk (to root) and Favorite fonts, bootanimations, ringtones, apps like Launchers, File Managers, etc and many times we delete the bloatware when we never use them.
Having to flash all these files, we end up maintaining several zip files in several directories of our phone. Many times we get confused with the order of execution and end up messing things.
This starts to become a headache when you have to look for each file and follow a proper order. Especially when you're a flashaholic like me.
Here, with the help of my tool and Aroma Installer. I present you my After Flash zip which I use to flash everything from a single zip after I flash a rom.
Be it Kernel or Magisk, fonts or bootanimations, Everything in one zip. Exciting. Isn't it?
What it includes?
Bare minimum (and latest version of) google apps to run play store.
Facelock and Google Camera (with Google Lens and Portrait mode support)
Magisk to root
7 mido kernels to choose from
Android Boot animation (will add more as per user requests)
Google Sans font, Made Evolved Font (will add more as per user requests)
Several Ringtones and Notification tones (the ones I like)
Best Chosen System apps
Choice of deleting several bloatware (those we don't normally use)
Reset Password in recovery when system fails to recognize the fingerprint/password
Addon.d support (this will preserve the installation of files that you selected in aroma across multiple roms)
If you like the idea kindly press 'Submit to Xda Portal'. If nothing, that'll encourage me somewhat. Thanks!
Note:-
"Core" Gapps include minimum apps required to run playstore
"Basic" Gapps include Core + Google Camera + Facelock
"Full" Gapps include Basic + few more google apps which we use in day to day life
Packages starting with "AF" contains Gapps, Kernels, Magisk, etc files
Can't wait to check it out? Here ->

Instructions
Flash the Rom and Flash the zip
Be careful while choosing include/exclude in aroma installer.
Before you download, check the screenshots in #2 post.
Suggestions to add/remove files will be encouraged

Yup, if people find it useful, I'll release pie gapps soon. Everything else from the package works on pie anyway, except for gapps.

So I can use rest of things from zip and gapps from any other package?

Yes, that's correct! Skip gapps installation from package and you're good to go!

How to uninstall?

For Kernel, if choose include more than one. What kernel be installed? Sorry for bad english,, btw nice job! Wait for update :fingers-crossed:

Actually the screenshot in post #2 shows options to flash multiple kernels, when I tried that myself, I ended up flashing all the kernels one after the other and the last one was flashed eventually.
This is not right so I made changes in my tool to only allow 1 kernel to be flashed.
Flash the zip, you would only be able to choose one kernel at a time. No include/exclude options.
I'll update the screenshot in #2 post later on.

If you wish to be able to uninstall what you installed, uncheck when you are on addon.d screen, that'll not preserve your changes when you will flash the ROM again.
Flash the ROM again, that will Uninstall everything.

I'll give it a shot!

@Nikhil Are you continuing it? or stopped it?
It would be great if you continue for both O and P
Please consider adding calander sync option for gapps
