New Release Time!

Changelog

v6

NEW BACKUPS ARE REQUIRED!

The BIGGEST change since v1!

Code Improvements:

The Backup/Restore code and Stock app replacement code now runs the command directly in the script instead of relying on extra script files.

The separators (#####) have been removed to make the code smaller.

The if statements have been merged into one line to save space.

App Improvements:

Now the Google Play Store is automatically installed apart of the core apps. This way you don't accidentally forget to install the store. I moved Talkback and Google TTS to Core Apps also as I feel that a lot of apps require them so it may be a usability standpoint if you could uninstall it. Please express your feedback about this decision!

Another thing I did was remove Google Earth as I feel it is kinda outdated and duplicate functionality. I also moved Maps/Street View to the Search category.

Finally, SunBeam is now removed when you remove PhaseBeam.

Backup Improvements:

There is a change to the Backup and Restore functionality... It now backups into a different folder for 4.3.x and/or 4.4.x! So if you constantly switch between 4.3 and 4.4 you can now have backups for both!

Bug Fixes:

The Stock app replacement code didn't work at all. This was fixed by mounting system when the installer is launched. I didn't realize this because I was testing using MultiROM... Excuse my error.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Of course... Biggest releases do have bugs and I already found one!

v6 Series

v6.2

NEW BACKUPS ARE REQUIRED!

Don't let the minor version bump fool you... This one is big...

Code Improvements:

In v6, I merged the two info screens into one menu. This continues with them being completely merged together into one page and the Info.txt file being deleted.

App Improvements:

I have reorganized the GApps and Remover menus to be in Alphabetical Order.

SunBeam and PhaseBeam are Seperated

PacStats is removed as it is now apart of PacConsole.

Backup Improvements:

Finally, the problem with the backup system where you were required to enter the GApps menu HAS BEEN FIXED! This is because I have moved the dialogs to the Start Install menu (which you have to click anyway!).

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 3DSammy:
Just curious, does the "Camera" app have a requirement for "Gallery" to be installed?

I noticed that when I selected "Gallery" to be removed "Camera" did not show up in the app draw. When I reflashed with v6.2 and did not select "Gallery" to be removed the "Camera" app showed up again. "Camera" is in neither the include or remove selection menus so I assume it is a default Gapps app.

There is an off chance that the "Camera" app has been included with the Tempest ROM (see my signature).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
The Camera app is apart of the Gallery app on 4.3 and Below. Since 4.4, the Camera is a separate app and is integrated with Google+ Photos instead.

Okay I have realized that it is because of a change I made to the Photosphere stuff in v6... I am fixing it right now!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] 3DSammy:
Interesting as I was only using a 4.4.x ROM and always have Google+ installed. I'll test it out with the next release.

Thanks for the quick reponse.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Try the new release, it is fixed!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Okay guys (and gals)...

I don't have a new release for you this time; however, I have a question to ask you...

If I could somehow combine the 4.4 and 4.3 GApps into one single ZIP file, would you be interested in downloading it?

Now I ask this because:

It will make the ZIP Bigger.

However, It will also make it more convenient. For example, I will be able to upload it faster to DevDB, since you can only upload one file at a time. Secondly, If you use 4.4 and 4.3 you don't have to download two ZIP files. Lastly, they both use mostly the same apps, so there would only be a few different files!

So I would like for you to vote on this poll here and I will decide based on your decision!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] motisu:
Tks for the update!! they get better and easier to use with each new iteration.:good:

As to your idea of combining the 4.3 & 4.4 into one file, personally, I see no purpose to this. Once 4.4 came out and was stable, I have not gone back to 4.3. I think that most of the users pick a ROM that they like and then more or less stick to it until something "new & improved" come out.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Well, my main idea behind that was that:

1. Some devices now have a Multi-Boot mod.

2. The 4.4 and 4.3 GApps shared a lot of the same files anyways so it would make it easier to develop.

I also think I figured out a way to do it without increasing the file size that much but I will keep experimenting with it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Now I know this decision is going to cause some controversy; but, I feel that if I combine the two packages... I can streamline the code base and deliver a better product. Plus since it only adds ~20 MB to the ZIP, it isn't going to add that much more download time.

Changelog

v7 Series

v7

If you thought v6 was big... Wait till you see this!

Overall Improvements:

One ZIP to Rule them All. JB and KK in one ZIP file while only adding ~20 MB to the ZIP! (Based on famigo_gapps-4.3-v6.3.zip compared to new combined ZIP.)

Failsafe in place for Camera and Home, so if you install Camera w/o Google+ or Home w/o Google Now, it will install them automatically.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] motisu:
Any other new features, of can I just wait till the next update?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
You can wait if you want to... This update is mostly for new users.

Just wanted to say how much I appreciate your efforts, thankyou very much for such a good idea :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
A New Release and Some News!

First, I have done some reworking of the App Removal, AOSP Replacement Scripts, and the code in general.

Secondly, I have fixed the crashing on 4.3 by using some 4.3 libs. (duh)

Finally, speaking of code... Famigo GApps is now Open Source and on GitHub...

Now what does this mean:

Well, first, the Google Apps themselves are not open source so I can't provide the code for them. This is only the code that I have wrote.

You can also make your own custom GApps package for your own ROM! Just be sure to credit me!

Lastly, anybody can contribute! Examples include:

Updating the Google Apps themselves when I may not be around!

Adding Remover Entries

Translating to Other Languages

Also, GitHub is where are Changelogs will be hosted from now on and it will also be a download mirror.

Last Note, Dev-Host has been removed from being a Download Mirror as their site is being a little screwy on my computer.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lazydognet:
I had just downloaded 7.1 and installed it about 3 hours ago. Can I just flash this one on top of it (clearing cache only).

Sorry if this is a redundant question, but this is the first time I've tried your gapps and saw that there have been quite a few major changes lately (and didn't know if this was one of those major revisions or not).

Thanks,

LDN
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
You normally can just flash them on top of each other, you may just have to redo your backups and this is one of the releases that you have to.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Today, we are releasing v7.3 aka The Remover Release.

Check out the Changelog on GitHub!

By the way, this was my first time coding on a Chromebook. Let me share some tips for anybody else that might have a Chromebook. First, Enable Swap using the "swap enable 6000" command. This helped speed up my really old Series 5 Chromebook up a lot. Secondly, a great app to do programming is Cloud9. It is basically an IDE for the cloud. Finally, disable as much extensions as possible.

Okay guys, new release time... however, this isn't your average release!

Introducing Famigo Slim GApps!

For those people that have slow internet connections or only want Google Now and the Play Store, the slim GApps are a slimmed down package that doesn't include the Play, Plus, Drive, and Other GApps. It includes the bare minimum while still maintaining compatibility with 4.3 and 4.4 and having Face Lock. It also still includes Google Home as you can't get it from the Play Store and still gives you the option to replace AOSP launchers.

You can download it now from our normal mirrors (version number is v1-slim).

Check the Changelog on GitHub!

Here's the source code for the slim packages!

As AOSPA has updated their GApps, we present v7.4 and v1.0.1-slim!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JS0724:
Is there any way to have installer create/modify addon.d script to remove chosen apps automatically after ROM update?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
It would be simple to do... I just don't have the free time at the moment.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] JS0724:
That's fine. Just a suggestion as that's the only inconvenience I noticed with these gapps. Otherwise the aroma install worked great. Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
Google wallet doesn't get installed if I choose it. Also any chance of an option to install google gallery when installing the google camera instead of having to install google+ for photos app? Don't like google+ lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
I have figured out why it doesn't install but I don't have time to push a fix but the problem is the updater script.

Find this code:

if file_getprop("/tmp/aroma/gapps.prop", "item.5.5") == "1" then

ui_print(" Wallet");

if file_getprop("/tmp/aroma/version.prop", "selected") == "1" then

package_extract_dir("gapps/Other/Wallet/app", "/system/app");

endif;

if file_getprop("/tmp/aroma/version.prop", "selected") == "1" then

package_extract_dir("gapps/Other/Wallet/app", "/system/priv-app");

endif;

endif;

And change the second version.prop line from 1 to 2.

Also I removed the Google gallery cause that is the direction that Google is going.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
The fix for Google Wallet is in Today's release here.

Oh and there is more coming in less than an hour! ;)

Will try this weekend when I have time. Thanks for improving addon.d support. Can't wait until it's fully working for removed apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Djmattox08:
Yeah, I seriously love these gapps. Thank you dev. I especially love the boat remover part of it, would come in handy some times to have the app remover as stand alone just to kill all that bloat. Especially on those roms with pre installed gapps.

Great work dev
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MaddScientist:
great will try the beta when remover gets included..thanks again

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Odysseus1962:
Great stuff you have here. I installed version 7.2 on the Evervolv JB ROM I'm testing and it worked well. I'm downloading 9.0.1 as I write this.

I was wondering if you could add a couple of items to this to make it more complete for JB-4.3 users. Is it possible to add the new KitKat email and exchange client as a choice for 4.3 Jellybean users? The new email app is so much better than the older one and closer to the look and functionality of the newest Gmail app. Many of us need to still use the email app since we have multiple non-Gmail accounts (I personally have 3 yahoo, 2 hotmail, 1 AOL, and at work MS exchange, that I need to keep synced and updated). Also, is it possible to include the new wallpapers too?

We on the Amaze are just now getting relatively stable Jellybean ROMs and KitKat looks to be a ways off in the distance. Having these features along with what you've already included will make those JB ROMs at least look and feel like KitKat which is the next best thing. TIA

Keep up the great work!

Ciao
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
What a time saver these gapps are! Especially the remover list lol glad I'm not the only one that think to remove all those unnecessary apps. Was wondering since most aosp apps are on there, any chance you can add aosp browser to the list?

Ever since KitKat aosp browser has been crap and I always remove it. Thanks! Amazing job!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
I think version 9.0.1 is broken I've flashed it with 2 different ROMs and doesn't run the one time setup when running the ROM for first time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
I won't be adding these things as they are part of the ROM and not the GApps.

You can remove the AOSP browser if you install Chrome.

It is working fine for me. First, try to re-download then if it still doesn't work it may be your device.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
My device is fine. Have tried on 2 different devices. Works with other gapps and even your gapps version 8.1.1. But version 9 doesn't work on a clean flash. Dirty flashing a ROM works fine.

Edit: re downloaded and seems to be fine now yay :) strange that it went through installer before if it was bad download.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
I have no clue. It works fine on all my devices on 5 different ROMs across 4.4 and 4.3 and all doing clean flashes.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
OK it works on omni ROM but not liquid smooth ROM. Your gapps 8.1.1 works fine though. Could it be the way you implemented it to auto detect android version? Because I know 8.1.1 gives me a choice but 9.0.1 auto detects. And that's the only difference I see that would cause this.

To test this theory could you add the selection of android version to 9.0.1 to see if it works? Or could you try liquidsmooth ROM so you can see that it doesn't work properly when clean flashing that ROM? Also codename android ROM gave me that issue. And like I said 8.1.1 works fine with them. So that's my guess as to why its not working.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
I compared Omni and Liquid and they are the exact same in the code that I use to detect the version. Again, it has to be a problem with your download... Maybe even the Rom download.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
But then how come version 8.1.1 installs fine and 9.0.1 doesn't on the liquid smooth ROM? If it was the download it wouldn't work on any version. Just doesn't make sense. Plus the same file of 9.0.1 works fine on omnirom. So once again its not the download.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
Well for one thing, they are separate downloads so you can't compare them. If 8.1.1 works, it could have been because it didn't download corrupt but 9.0.1 did.

Secondly, I also said it could be the ROM. They could be doing something that makes it incompatible and also that download could be corrupt.

Finally, like I have said. It works fine for me and everybody else so it has to be something related to your device, recovery, or download.

And just to make sure, visit the devdb section and compare the MD5 of the file you downloaded compared to the online version.

I am really sorry but there is no more I can do.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
I understand. Thanks for trying! I re downloaded a bunch of times same result. There is no corruption though in any of the ROMs or gapps files. Could be incompatibility then.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nagpalkapil:
It works absolutely fine. Actually check ur download. Or reflash rom and try again as dev said.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Syk69:
Did you try liquismooth beta to confirm? I have a nexus 5 and I flash with banks gapps and runs fine. I flash with famigo gapps 8.1.1 runs fine. But 9.0.1 doesn't. That same 9.0.1 file flashes fine with omnirom so there is no corruption on the files :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bgiesing:
New Release!

Slim gets Super Slim by removing Face Lock and also the useless info screen was removed.

Note: v9.1 isn't uploaded yet, but it is the exact same as v9.0.1 other than the info screen being removed. This version is all about the slim.
