[GAPPS][5.1.X][5.0.X][4.4.X] Open GApps for Stock

Introducing Open GApps for Stock
This package aims to help everyone that wants to integrate updates to the GApps into their ROM without the risks of Titanium Backup.
It was originally a fork of the work of TKruzze and it's now part of the Open GApps project.
Some things changed from the old PA GApps package to accommodate the installation on stock ROMs. The largest part of the changes is not visible to the user, but I would like to list them here:
• All the libchrome libs from /system/lib and /system/lib64 are now removed.
• The sizes of the apps are now directly measured from the zip, thus resulting in a more accurate estimation of the occupied space.
• The Google Email client (the one that became a stub following an update on the Play store) will be removed if Gmail is going to be installed.
• Android System WebView has been added to the Stock package.
The gapps-config functionality is still here and can be used to exclude some apps or to reduce the package to a smaller size.
GApps for Stock joined the Open GApps project and became Open GApps for Stock
It's just like the standard Open GApps stock package with the added ability to flash over Stock ROMs. This new package is called "fornexus" and is intended to use on Nexus devices with Stock ROMs from Google. Open GApps for stock is now included in the main code of the OpenGApps project, so you can now flash the stock package or smaller ones directly on your Nexus device. The compatibility with other ROMs is not guaranteed, but you can ask for help here (and not in the Open GApps thread) providing the debug logs (found in the same folder of the ZIP file) and I can tell you if your problem derives from a complete incompatibility or can be solved by me.
Download available now! (Post #3)

FAQ:
Some Frequently asked Questions about the Open GApps package can be found here. If you don't find your question in the FAQs, you can post it here and you will be answered.
This post will be populated with the time as questions arise.

Thanks to the joining with the Open GApps project, this package is now available for both arm and arm64 devices, from Android 4.4 KitKat to Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Download:
You can find the latest version from the website OpenGApps.org
You can download now any package and if a Stock ROM is detected, it will switch to the "for Stock" mode.

Gapps for Stock 20150501 released
Changelog:
• The package has been tested (on my Nexus 5 using gapps-config to reduce the size) and all went fine. I can say it's safe to install.
• Google Play Music updated to version 5.9.1853R.1893462
• Google Play Newsstand updated to version 3.4.0 (2015040709)
• Google App (Search) updated to version 4.5.13.19.arm
• Maps updated to version 9.8.1

So are these gapps only for version 5.0.1? They will not flash on 5.1.1.

Yes, 5.0 only, 5.1 version will come out in the near future.

Bravo cumpà
A few suggestions:
- Mega.co.nz links are quite hard to download from smartphone (you need the app, it doesn't work using the browser)... I suggest to use androidfilehost instead
- Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071 ... maybe you can join efforts and create a team

hi nice work
does it also contains 64bit apps

You don't need the app. Just enable "request desktop site" in Chrome settings.

The problem is that your ROM includes some GApps in non standard paths and you now have Google Calendar and Gmail installed two times in /system. Can you test if also Google CloudPrint is crashing while I build and upload the new package?

never activated it, even if installed, but the constant FCs were of gmail and calendar... i can't try now, passed 2 hours in testing and now battery is gone and charging
do you plan to fix this, if you can? Other gapps packages don't install at all or i've to remove many apps because they fill the system partition (even if i successfully flashed about EVERYTHING using your package)...

GApps are meant to be installed on top of AOSP ROMs that do not include already some of the Google Apps. Your ROM is not an AOSP ROM, but my package is meant to be installed on top of Stock ROMs, that already include GApps. The problem is that your ROM not only includes some GApps, but they're also in the wrong location, and installing a GApps package would bring to conflicts. I updated my package to remove the GApps installed in your ROM too, so that there should be no more FCs. Also you'll gain another 34MB of space to include even more GApps to your config (you don't have to exclude TalkBack and Messenger anymore if you want). The updated package is currently uploading and will be available tomorrow or later today, depending on your timezone.

thanks a lot, you're great! There's no other packages that allow to keep gapps in rom updated in stock roms that already have them, like OPO cm12s...
i didn't remove those apps for lack of space (there are STILL 136mbs free, even though i flashed the big STOCK package and other personal stuff like franco kernel, mooab adblocker, maxxaudio and supersu, too)... i removed talkback because don't use it, and messenger because i use hangout, instead
what do you think of EMAIL? in stock rom it's named EMAIL, but it's really BOXER, the email client made by cyanogen and released as full app just for OPO... do i have to explicit put a line like "+Email" in config or it's left untouched, as email is the stub for the old email client made by google?
tomorrow i'll download and flash your new gapps package, thanks again!

Boxer will not be removed and +Email is unnecessary. However I added the Boxer keyword to remove the CM Email client if someone wants to.

[Exp] Flashed Open Gapps (pico) on stock rom and...

So basically what I have done is I simply flashed open gapps pico package around 40mb in size from TWRP on stock rom 5.1 of Moto g3.
The results are as you can guess all the google apps that came preinstalled in the device were removed now you can see only core apps needed for playstore functionality. It removed Google app and Google now launcher too so before flashing you should install any third party launcher and integrate it in system too(optional).
It improved performance and battery life a bit and let me get rid of unwanted Google apps and the needed apps I have downloaded them from playstore.
So try it take a backup before hand if you wanna revert back(why will you do that.)
Installation
The Google Applications packages should be installed via recovery. Exact steps vary, but the general process is the same as that used to install CyanogenMod, or any other flashable zip.

[root] or [twrp] LoS 13 cleaning guide

Hi Guys,
after every clean flash i'm doing some 'cleanings' to use even more juice from our phones.
So...
Let's start. I'm not author of those tweak. I just 'adjust' them for LoS 13 working on 'markw'. All credits go to authors.
1) Cleaning: Phronesis_Debloater_v3.zip - 2.2 MB
- flash via twrp or run from adb/terminal with root privilages
It will clean every mention app from spoiler! It's SAFE to do it.
http://pasted.co/4bba256f
2) Apps better/faster/cleaner that previously deleted:
Better camera app [twrp]: Fix-HTCCamera.zip - 30.7 MB
Faster keyboard:
[twrp] -Xperia_Keyboard_7.1.A.0.28_for_6+.zip - 9.8 MB
or
[apk] - Xperia_keyboard_v.8.0.A.0.50.apk - 9.6 MB
Open source calendar: ws.xsoh.etar_11.apk - 3.4 MB
3) Root [twrp]: SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip - 5.6 MB
4) ADBLOCKER: [twrp] MoaAB_ADBlocking_10202016_R1.zip - 1.1 MB
5) Xposed: [twrp] xposed-v87-sdk23-arm64.zip - 7.8 MB
[apk] XposedInstaller_3.1.1.apk - 2.8 MB
Backup is recommended before doing those things. Enjoy.

Replacement apps:

Thanks! it's really usefull, especially the debloater. Usually i'm using titanium backup as my system removing app. Great timesaver.

Have you ever use opengapps removal configuration? I always use that, it's so simple we can add/remove items as needed since it only edit the gapps-config.txt
Here are some references, it supposed to work on opengapps no matter which rom it use:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-1s/general/free-opengapps-t3504217
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options
PS: Place gapps-config.txt in the same place with your opengapps file

Thanks for info, but i'm not using gapps so it's useless for me.

Didn't work for me. I do clean flash ROM + Flash Gapps and then flash phronesis and then reboot. After bootup, I'm stuck because the keyboard didn't shown (maybe removed?). So I can't login google account or instal new keyboard.
I did try another method : flashing ROM + Gapps, reboot. After setup (and instal alternative keyboard) then reboot to recovery and flash phronesis > reboot. Google play service FC and when I check my app list (app drawer), nothing changed
PS: I use LOS 03/26

[MOD][6.0/7.1/8.0][V16.0] Enhance Experience

Hello, This is my first MOD which actually works.
Visit my new website here for detailed info: https://chetzjain1215.wixsite.com/enhancexp (currently the site isn't optimised for phones, but working on it. )
Code:
I am not responsible if you brick your devices or other issues because of my MOD.
Do some research or ask me if you have any concerns about it.
​
Q:So, What is this thing?
A: It basically Replaces stock LineageOS apps with the Google apps.
Q:Why do we need this?
A: If you're using Nova launcher or Pixel launcher i'm sure you would have come across ''force 3D touch". That thing doesn't take place in Stock lineage apps like Phone, Messaging or Clock etc. Also the UI of Calendar app isn't good as compare to Google calendar app, however Google apps is the solution.
Q:What else does it do?
A: It will install Sony Music player (Beta version), trust me it isn't bloatware but something better than Eleven (stock lineage music player), also it adds a nice unlock sound effect.
Features: 1) Removes Lineage apps: Calendar, Clock, Eleven, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone.
2) Adds Google apps of: Calendar, Clock, Calculator, Messaging, Contacts and Phone, Beta version of Sony Music.
3) Unlock Sound effect from MIUI.
**CAUTION**: I've tested the MOD only with Official RR 5.8.3 and with NANO open gapps package.
THINGS YOU SHOULD DO AFTER INSTALLING: 1) Set Phone as default app by going in Settings>Apps>Setting icon (Top right corner), under default, select Phone app. That's it.
**Installation For recovery flashing***
1) Flash your Favourite (7.1.1/7.1.2) ROM and then flash Nano Gapps.
2) Go back in TWRP and select "MOUNT" and tick system.
3) Select my MOD and flash and reboot.
**Installation For recovery flashing***
1) Take a backup seriously.
2) Open magisk and select my module and flash it. ​
Download for Stable Recovery Flashing: STABLE VERSIONS

You can install before too, but it's recommended to flash after NANO gapps.

Sorry about extra '' Meta - INF'' folder in system. I will remove in next update, also trying to set permissions automatically after flashing.

PIXELize your S8/S8+ and debloat

This is for those who does not really want all the fancy features that are present in Stock Touchwiz ROM and prefer to only have what is on Stock Android or Pixel-like experience.
All credits goes to the creator of each mod involved.
Requirements:
- Custom recovery like TWRP
- Rooted Phone (SuperSU / Magisk)
- File Manager with Root Access. I use Root Explorer
- OpenGApps (arm64,7.0) (package: stock/super/aroma) - This will enable some Nexus/Pixel exclusive features and install Google Apps that are preloaded on Nexus/Pixel Devices including apps that usually can't be installed as normal apk such as below:
- Google Phone
- Google Contacts
- Google Camera (Slow Motion isn't working)
- Google Now Card (swipe to right)
- Google Search Pill
- "OK Google" voice detection
Instructions:
* First thing to do is to flash OpenGApps via TWRP
Link: http://opengapps.org
* Install a navbar overlay from below thread to get Stock Android (AOSP) NavBar or Pixel NavBar. Install it as normal apk.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
* Replace the stock Pixel Launcher (located at '/root/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk') with this modded Launcher (link below). This launcher is basically the same as the stock Pixel Launcher with enabled features like round icons for app that supports it. More information on the original thread.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/launcher3-pixel-launcher-features-t3620972
* Below are some apps i'm using that are supported:
- Google Photos
- Google Play Music
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Google Calculator
- Google Keep
- Google News&Weather
- Google Playstore
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Youtube
- Gmail
- XDA Labs
- XDA Feed
- Twitter
And now that you got all that is required to have a Pixel-like UI / Experience, it's time to make your ROM lightweight.
* Create a folder in your Internal Storage or SD Card named "system" and inside it, create folders "app" and "priv-app". This is to make sure that you can always revert back the changes that you'll make.
* Open your File Manager with root access and navigate to "root/system/app" or "root/system/priv-app"
This is where you can find all the installed apps in your system. In my case, what i do is "cut and paste" the whole folder to Internal Storage and then reboot to remove the bloat that i don't need.
I am currently on Renovate Ice ROM - r98 build (AQF7 FIRMWARE) and below is the list of what i have removed.

I am not getting any Force Closes / Crashes / Errors. Just make sure to reboot your device after cutting and pasting system apps to your Internal Storage.
When you realized that you needed something back, just copy and paste the whole folder to where you got them and set the correct permission.
For the folder, set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x".
For the apk inside, set the permission to "rw-r-r".
then reboot your device.
If you want to have an updated google apps as soon as it becomes available, you may download latest apks at apkmirror website then replace existing apk in the system, set the correct permission, and reboot. I've done it to almost all google apps without any issue.
I will try to update this thread to include all apps that can be removed based on stock firmware that's freshly installed.

Sweet, I've actually a similar setup, except I'm just freezing apps and didn't bother flashing Gapps.
Also I'd recommend modifying key layout and use ASSIST for the key function. Having Google assistant on bixby button is dope !

If you delete Device Manager you can't access your battery stats.

Yes. I am aware of that but i don't really need it as i am having a great battery life and performace. Also, it can easily be installed back in less than a minute if i want to.

I am Stock but rooted ROM, tried to flash Super GAPPS but its failed throwing ERROR 70 telling that GAPPS are already installed but in fact I haven't. Is this could be limitation due to STOCK ROM?

I am always getting that message even with custom roms but it always proceed anyway. I also have tried flashing gapps on stock rooted rom successfully before on my S8. Maybe your gapps is corrupt or not fully downloaded.

I have tried again flashing newly downloaded gapps file but again same error. The message thrown is "insufficient storage space available in system partition. You may want to use a smaller Open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config."

You can. Download shortcutter, grant it necessary permissions. Add a battery tile from shortcutter to the quick settings and anytime you click on it, it takes you to the battery stats. I have also disabled device manager.

I got the "stock" gapps package and can confirm that it works on stock rooted rom.
