[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] NicholasQ:
Notice: By flashing these GApps, you hereby revoke your right to complain in the Paranoid Android thread about bugs!

What I mean by this is: Don't go bothering Moles or any of the PA team about some sort of app/rom functionality being broken because you flashed this GApps package which deleted an app that you needed or caused ROM to crash.

This package goes against PA philosophy of remaining Stock google. Read This WHOLE POST FIRST!!

Warning: This package deletes apps that might be important to certain users! For example: maps, exchange services, live wall papers, etc. Read the list below for more details.

FAQ in second post

Section 1.

Ok, so the purpose of this post is to share a GApps that I put together for myself. Please READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE even considering flashing this.

What this GApps package does:

1. It flashes the bare minimum (what I consider bare minimum) of system apps to keep the ROM functioning as I like it.

2. The update script is modified to delete other apps that are included in the PA ROM package that I do not use. (notice I said "I", as in myself)

Do not Flash if you meet any of these descriptions:

1. You do not want a lean rom

2. You don't agree with leaning out roms

3. This offends you somehow

4. You are unsure about what you are doing

5. If you have never opened a zip package and looked at its contents or read an updater_script

Section 2.

These are the list of apps are NOT INCLUDED in this package that you would normally get from PA FULL GApps at goo.im:

Books.apk <--- google books

Currents.apk

GenieWidget.apk <--- Google weather widget

GoogleEars.apk <---- identifies songs by listening to them. I use soundhound, so I don't use google ears.

GoogleEarth.apk

Magazines.apk <---- Google magazines

PlusOne.apk <--- Google+ social network

Thinkfree.apk <-- stock office app

Videos.apk ,<--- google movies

ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk

Maps.apk <--- you can download from market or just restore with titanium. OR insert it into the lean gapps package yourself

Street.apk

Like I said above, this GApps package goes a step further and deletes certain apps from the /system/app/.

Here is a section of the script that deletes apps so you can and MUST REVIEW BEFORE flashing:

delete("/system/app/HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk","/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk");

delete("/system/app/MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk","/system/app/OpenWnn.apk");

delete("/system/app/ParanoidWallpapers.apk","/system/app/PhaseBeam.apk","/system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.apk");

delete("/system/app/Thinkfree.apk","/system/app/Galaxy4.apk","/system/app/PinyinIME.apk","/system/app/Exchange2.apk");

delete("/system/app/Books.apk","/system/app/Currents.apk","/system/app/Magazines.apk","/system/app/Videos.apk");

delete("/system/app/GenieWidget.apk","/system/app/GoogleEarth.apk","/system/app/GoogleEars.apk");

If there is an app missing that

you must have

, then

you

can fix it. Pull the app from the ROM package or FULL PA GApps package and insert it into the Lean GApps package in system/app/. (I shouldn't have to explain how to do this if you're planning on flashing this GApps, but whatever.) Or if the script deletes an app that you don't want deleted, then just erase that part from the script.

If you don't know how to do this, then Google it or find one of many helpful tutorials here on the wonderful XDA forums!

Section3 .

Please refrain from asking the same questions over and over.

Read this whole post!

Read the entire updater_script! It's a good practice to get into for flashing any zip.

I am NOT taking requests. If you want something added or taken away, then do the work yourself please. It takes only 5 minutes. I will try to fix any bugs and update whenever I get the time.
