Open /system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh

Scroll down to the bottom and delete this line:

rm -f /system/app/Camera2.apk

Save the file. Then reflash your ROM.
[Android Software Development] danish1994:
Thanks..

It worked.
[Android Software Development] scoobyjenkins:
You can edit that script to your liking! I didn't know how to keep apps removed before using Minimal X, but now I have an edited script that I keep a copy of elsewhere and just download Minimal now, on a clean install I copy the script to addon.d and set permissions, works a treat!

[Android Software Development] MohamedOMostafa:
How do I edit the text when its inside the zip ? sorry if the question is kinda stupid.
[Android Software Development] scoobyjenkins:
You can extract the text file using an app like zarchiver, edit, save and add back, overwriting the original.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Android Software Development] jr67:
Like scoobyjenkins said, you need to extract the file to edit it then copy it back to zip file.

Since you're making the changes to the zip file itself I would suggest you also edit the updater-script in the zip and remove any line that deletes whatever you want to keep. The script can be found in the /META-INF/com/google/android/ folder.

Say you wanted to keep the AOSP camera. If you don't edit the update-script, the AOSP camera will be removed after flashing the gapps package. In order to restore it you will need to flash your rom again (or manually grab the Camera2.apk from the rom zip and push it to /system/app/, set the right permissions then reboot). If you remove the line in the update-script (delete "/system/app/Camera2.apk",) then you will not need to do that extra step of flashing your rom again.
[Android Software Development] scoobyjenkins:
What I actually do is this: I took the script from Minimal X and edited it to my liking - I backup themed system apps and remove a few rom system apps of my choice. Then I just use Minimal Gapps and once I've made my modifications, I put the edited and renamed script in addon.d, setting permissions to the same as the others, works a treat! The removal part is very useful to me, I had no idea how to do it before.

Tapatalked that shiznit.
[Android Software Development] MohamedOMostafa:
Yes that seems easier than having to reflash the rom again, so can you tell me where exactly in the zip do I find the camera app and where to put it to get it to work and also for the future to stop the minimal gapps from removing a certain asop app I have to both edit the 70-gapps.sh file and the updater-script ? thanks.
[Android Software Development] androcraze:
A Google search of "HTC M7 dpi" says 468.
[Android Software Development] jr67:
I do the same. I made my own script to remove some apps that the minimal+ gapps doesn't remove. I must say though, since I started using these gapps my script isn't as long as it used to be back when I was using Bank's gapps.
[Android Software Development] josera06:
What ROM do you use? What are the apps that you remover manually? Can i use tour script por how can i make one form me? How i know which apps can i remove?

Sorry form my poor english

[Android Software Development] jr67:
To prevent gapps from removing the AOSP camera during the flashing process, in the gapps zip file extract 70-gapps.sh from /system/addon.d/ and updater-script from /META-INF/com/google/android/. Open 70-gapps.sh delete:

rm -f /system/app/Camera2.apk

then save it. Open updater-script (even though it doesn't have an extension it can be opened as a text file) and delete:

"/system/app/Camera2.apk",

then save it. Copy both files back into their correct folders in the zip file making sure to overwrite the old files. Then you can flash the gapps without losing the AOSP camera.

To restore the AOSP Camera after you've already flashed gapps. Open 70-gapps.sh in /system/addon.d/ and delete this line:

rm -f /system/app/Camera2.apk

then save it. This will prevent the automatic removal of the AOSP camera the next time you flash a ROM update. Then to restore the AOSP camera either reflash your ROM. Or extract Camera2.apk in /system/app/ from the ROM zip. Copy it to /system/app/ on your phone, make sure the app permission is set to 644 and the UID and GID are set to root (basically, make sure the permission, UID and GID match all the other apks in /system/app/), then reboot.

---------- Post added at 10:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I use CM11 nightlies (Nexus 4) and I do usually flash nightly. My script is just an edited and renamed copy of the 70-gapps.sh script. I use it to restore BetterBatteryStats (instead of installing it like a regular app I manually push it the apk to /system/priv-app/) and I remove the following:

rm -f /system/app/LockClock.apk

rm -f /system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk

rm -f /system/app/SoundRecorder.apk

rm -f /system/app/Stk.apk

rm -f /system/app/Torch.apk

rm -f /system/priv-app/BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk

rm -f /system/priv-app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk

Hello.

First: Awesome! I've been looking for ways to slim down my i9100.

Second: I've been reading through this entire thread and comparing the Minimal (not X or X+) package to TKruzzes Nano and Pico package and except from Minimal having Contact sync (which I presume that both Nano and Pico also has) mentioned in the text and that both Pico and Nano mentions Google Bookmark Sync (and Nano have Google search and "OK Google") I haven't really found a difference. Am I missing anything?

tl;dr: Q1 - Is this the Pico/Nano without Bookmark Sync or Google search/ok google?

Third: Thanks!

EDIT: Q2 - Also, do I understand correctly that the X packages simply uninstalls apk:s and that I can simply do it manually in, for example, Titanium and it has the same effect? But unlike Titanium the X package runs a script that prevents reinstall upon Rom reflash due to, for example, Nightlys?

It doesn't seem to work with Cyanogenmod 11, it breaks it.
[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

It is pretty late to write this as there was no change here for a while and many many ppl are using this gapps with cm11 - I am one of them.

Probably it would help if you'd write which device and what "break" means.
[Android Software Development] :
The device is an XT1033, I don't recall the exact error but after flashing it the android system (UI?) kept crashing and I couldn't use the device, had to recover or reflash the rom.

After several tries I'm convinced that it's issues to do with CM 11, even though I got the latest stable build (M6), it's far from stable. In the end I gave up and went back to stock rom.
[Android Software Development] daniu:
if you are not willing to trouble shoot - why are you posting here? The latest gapps is from 15th of december. Nobody so far wrote something like you. Did the gapps install properly? Maybe too little space? BTW: you did not write which gapps you installed. Maybe the standard (without X) is too big? Surprised that M6 is supposed to be the latest stable build ... Other devices got M12

Hi,

you are right:

play store: I got: 5.1.11 - available: 5.2.13

play services: I got: 6.5.99 - too lazy to find latest version

The question is: are these versions compatible with KK? My device did not update to these versions automatically (as it usually did)

[Android Software Development] abhimukesh25:

[Android Software Development] tool_king:

[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

I checked if the playstore version on my device is updateable: it isn't (go to playstore - settings - click on: build version

So I guess both newer versions are not compatible with KK anymore. Guess we do not get an update for these apps any more.

Regards
[Android Software Development] hweidi:
I believe this means KK is stable enough without necessity for updates, whereas in LL, the case is different, updates arrives constantly to accommodate LL. Anyway, its normal by the time they will decrease support to KK :eek:
[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

well - that is a very optimistic way to look at it ... I don't think that stability increases dramatically just because a major new version has been published. But to be honest: I don't think that google will increase stability of playxxx dramatically at all. If they do anything then it is: add some unnecessary features that you will eventually be forced to use if you want to keep participating in the game of giving them your data for some service they give you in return.

Hi

Trying to be a big boy I tried to edit the bloat removal script and failed. Is there any manual how to do that?

I decompressed the folder and edited 2 files: I want to use apollo - so I removed the lines for removing that. I zipped the folder again but installation failed ...

Any suggestions?
[Android Software Development] jr67:
Instead of unzipping the file to edit the scripts use a file explorer to open the zip, extract the scripts, edit them then move them back into the zip file. If your file explorer doesn't allow you to simply open a zip file without decompressing it then find one that does or find an app that does. Personally I use Total Commander. You can also do everything on your computer.
[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

Quite surprised that this makes any difference but it did make a difference ... worked now.

[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

I always thought that integrating. System app updates in the ROM does not work easily and will spoil the ROM so that you wish you have a recent nandroid. I thought that because titanium backup causes problems when trying to integrate updates.

Recently I did integrate quite some updates with link2sd without any issue. It is so easy and reliable that I would prefer it against installing a new gapps version in recovery ...

The only thing I don't like about link2sd is that it wants to autostart with the device (and when nre apps are installed) and even asks for root rights. Since I do not use link2sd to link anythink 2 sd I turned autostart off (with sd maid, autostarts or autorun manager)

[Android Software Development] skaveelicious:
Like some posters above me, this change is producing conflicts with AOSP keyboard.

I understand you want to make the the GApps package minimal but quite some ROMs like CM11 ship with "libjni_latinime.so" lib to go along with AOSP Keyboard and you are removing it with the updatescript:

delete(
"/system/lib/libjni_latinime.so",
);

Therefore breaking AOSP Keyboard support. Wouldn't it be better to remove libjni_latinime.so with the debloat package instead?

[Android Software Development] Ultramanoid:
Just a note to compensate all the feedback against removing the keyboard library... Saves me the extra step of erasing as I don't need it or want it. So thanks, as far as I'm concerned.

That said, it is true it might break things on systems and people clearly are annoyed ( plus some won't know how to fix the problem, this IS a developers' forum, but the majority posting are not so ) so maybe as suggested better to add it to the removal script.

Thanks for making and maintaining these packages at any rate, great job.
