Question What is the benefit of a gapps package? - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Like Nikgapps or Mindthegapps as a posed to stock as far as privacy goes?

Gapps has no benifit. If you can live without google, leave it.

What do you mean? You use them with any ROM that doesn't include Google. If you need Google apps, then you install it.

Gapps main benefit is secure and updated software.

Thanks!!!

This are the latest ones (for Jelly bean) as far as I know
In the same directory you will find the ones for ICS: http://goo.im/gapps/
Thanks, is it possible that there aren't much apps in this package?
I flashed the Cyangenmod 10 Stable and directly after it these gapps (without rebooting)
The only apps in that package are : Agenda/Apollo/Browser/Calculator/Camera/Downloads/DSP Manager/Email/Garrly/Google/Clock/Movie Studio/News/persons/Playstore/superuser/talk/terminal
Aren't there any "special' gapps packages with more or special apps ?

Gapps never come with any custom ROMs because of rules by Google.. only pure vanilla android will have gapps with the ROM... so all custom ROMs including Cyanogenmod won't give you gapp... go to the link n download gapps..

The Gapps package is really just meant to give you access to the play store and access your google account, it doesn't really have anything special about it, was there an app you wanted in praticular?

[Feature Request] Integrated Root

I feel like dumb every time i need to flash SuperSU closed source su app on omnirom as i use no gapps and closed source apps in my omnirom deployment, maybe is possible to integrate an open source one like the one used in the CyanogenMOD.

Custom ROMs is thougth to be power user friendly. I mean, obviously i can flash another million mods by myself, but i'd prefer if the root manager was integrated better in the ROM.

It is planned, but it is a low priority over other features and issues when enabling simply survivor mode in SuperSU gets you the same result.

[GAPPS][4.4.x][15mb] Mentor's Gapps: no set_metadata core Gapps working with ART

In these gapps there are only the AOSP Quick Search Box and Play Store from wich you can install every other gapp and app.
In these gapps there are:
- minimum core gapps
- lib to solve the swype problem of the AOSP keyboard
- Quick Search Box
- Play Store
These gapps are working with ART and they are compatible with recoveries not supporting set_metadata.

edit : one more question... with other minimal gapps, if you use an aosp rom, you also have to flash aosp calendar sync. is it the same with your gapps?
thanks
Exactly what I was looking for, does this contain whatever files needed for google tts and search to work? And if not, can someone tell me what files are needed, along with location and permissions. Thank you

In these gapps there is not google calendar sync and there is no problem with any aosp rom, if you need google calendar sync then you have to flash it.

Gapps updated for latest versions of cm11.
By installing the old gapps on the CM11 after the m5 the call logs was not working.
your gapps don't have contact sync with gmail/google contacts??
I must have this functionality
I wanna install CM11 on my droid4
already I have your Mentor's Rom + patched BMM
maybe U have all-in-one CM11 rom (cm11+bmm-patch+gsm+gapps)??
No in my gapps there is not any google sync funcionality and i do not have any all-in-one cm11 rom.
In the latest update i removed the facebook sync fix.

Based on LOS
I Flashed the rom through TWRP. After rebooting it is stuck in the boot animation i waited for 2 hrs still it didnt boot. Pls let me know how to get i to boot.
Please note: I have formatted the internal storage and then flashed the rom.
Screenshots?
Successfully Booted
Moreover Sending this via this ROM.
First of all I would clear all ur doubts:
How to boot?
Flash only latest 22 DEC e-0.2-201812222301-nightly-whyred.zip build
Simply wipe cache,data,system,vendor;
Do a clean flash and have full functional backup because this rom will encrypt your data .
On which platform it is based?
It is a los 15.1 based rom with all google dependencies removed.
What is initial experience with this rom?
Basically it is very initial build of Eelo project which was developed by a dev and his team who wanted to get free from all google stuff in his Rom .You can search on web about this project.
It has its slightly modified UI with its own set of apps like
bliss launcher(IPhone style launcher with bugs such as no settings panel and Can't remove app from home screen)
In place of maps it has magic earth app.
In replacement to playstore you get nothing(you can install Apk pure market to get apps)
Telegram and open camera pre installed.
Messaging app is different.
For launcher I use Lawnchair.
Its own keyboard.
Rest All is looking like los.
What you should not do.
Do not flash any open gapps to get google apps I think it might crash things resulting in bad mess.
For some google stuff it already have MicroG support.
As this rom is Oreo based u will miss pie rom features if u are earlier on pie based rom.
I think if it change its base on pie and have properly working launcher it will be more appealing.
But anyways it is very initial build and that too for whyred so keeping expectations low.
This ROM seems promising

[ROM] ProtonAOSP: kuantum edition [12/18/2021]

Hello!
I have built a custom version of ProtonAOSP that is customized to my personal specifications. This ROM is NOT a general-purpose ROM like ProtonAOSP is.
What are the differences?
Seedvault has been implemented. It does not rely on GMS backup anymore.
Lawnchair is the default launcher.
AOSP stock apps have been replaced with the Simple Mobile Tools apps. I find them to be more interesting and better looking than the AOSP apps.
Stock camera has been replaced with CameraPX, a modded GCam.
Aurora Droid, Services, and Store have been included.
MicroG has been implemented. Full signature spoofing since ProtonAOSP includes that too.
FlorisBoard is default.
Includes support for locking the bootloader so AVB doesn't throw a hissy fit.
Any bugs?
none that I know of

FAQ
Can you implement feature X?
If I don't like it, I'm not implementing it.
Is this designed to be FOSS?
This is designed to be using Google services without giving them a lot of your information.
Why?
A lot of ROMs, especially the ones for coral/flame usually come with GApps out of the box or they come with nothing except dialer, messaging, browser, and a launcher OR they are out of date (on Android 10/11). There really are no ROMs that come out of the box configured with the same setup as this one does now. That's why I made it and I decided to share it.
This ROM sucks.
okay.
Will this wipe data?
I wipe data just to be safe. Remember to back up your apps before you flash.

Thanks for your great work, @kuantum69. All the ease of use without the personal data collection from Google. Will certainly be trying this out, thank you for brining the Simple Mobile Tools apps to attention as well. Some great choices here.
You should fix the installer or include the bootloader being called so its an all-in-one firmware like Proton is (to reduce confusion and issues by newbs). Proton has the bootloader in the zip so the installer works without requiring any other firmware prep beforehand (same as a stock firmware is, all-in-one). Your version may not work as intended due to missing the bootloader being expected by your installer, but not there (in the zip). This may cause a bootloop issue if the older bootloader is left on the device and there is a major OS version change or AOSP/stock/Proton/ETC change with the /system around it upgraded or downgraded BUT the bootloader remained the same version prior. This may cause a loop or worse, data-loss if a newb cannot recover from it:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-coral-.img
Missing bootloader in zip
Please do NOT take this as a negative attack, its not. I am simply pointing out the code is wrong (missing bootloader) so newbs do not try it assuming its all-in-one and have issues.
Done

The problem mainly is that I do not know how to do OTA updates.
The Updater from GrapheneOS is neat but to rework the server side component and make it work with ProtonAOSP is a lot of work that I don't have time for.
Realistically, you could just flash the image itself and that would be the equivalent of an OTA update. I included Seedvault because of the limitation of not having OTA updates and the fact that keys might change when unlocking the bootloader, at least you would have a backup.

I understand, thank you for the response. My PC is kaput, so all I have is a pi 4 and the repo isn't updated to the latest adb, so I can't flash factory images with it.
