Followed the thread, installed google kb, deleted aosp keyboard, flashed this gapps and everything seems to work fine now. Previously I was getting aosp keyboard error messages even when using swiftkey with aosp unchecked. Also went and installed Amplify via Xposed and found it seriously decreased battery drain from google services. Battery life is excellent (well, as compared to before).

I am liking what I am seeing here. KK (with carbonrom) still has plenty of life, and with everything working (along with the who knows when of lollipop), the old S3 continues to plug along.

google play eats battery

as with many on the net, my google play and its friends updated itself, even though I had changed settings to stop auto updates. Now with google play services ver 7.x preventing my phone from deep-sleeping i'm wondering howto stop auto updating. I tried to format and reinstall to roll back to an earlier gapps version but no luck.

Can the apk be edited to prevent auto-updates? or is it time to go google-free. .

I always get AOSP keyboard FC with any rom when flashing these gapps. (device: LG p700)
[Android Software Development] vlucchetti:
Install xposed, dl the amplify module. Used to be called unbounce. Do some searches. Amplify lets you adjust the time between wakelocks from the 15 seconds that google uses to up to 5 minutes. Some other programs stop updates altogether, this just spaces it out. I went from having google play use 13% of my battery to only 2%.

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 AM ----------

As an earlier poster said, dl google keyboard, uninstall aosp keyboard, flash the gapps package and youa re good to go, no more FC's. The latest version of the gapps has been the only time I have had this issue. For me, since I use swiftkey, losing aosp kb is no big deal.

If you're on CM go to Settings - Privacy - Privacy Guard (it's like App Ops). Go to menu to show system "built-in" apps, long-press Google Play Services and set the Wake Up and the Keep Awake permission to Denied. Then restart the device.

Use this as a temporary solution to the wakelocks until Google releases a new update.

Can I edit the bloatware removal script?

I really like this bloatware removal script and want to use it. I have a Motorola Droid Razr XT912 on cm11 rom. But there are a couple of things I want to keep.

I want to keep and use these things:

Camera2.apk

CMFileManager.apk

CMHome.apk (I have Apex Pro but like Trebuchet.)

Dashclock.apk

DSPManager.apk

Is this script something I can edit so that when I flash it, the things I want to keep will remain? Thanks for such a good job. The minimal gapps are excellent for cm11! :good:
[Android Software Development] AndStuff:
Just a fast question regarding the latest package (20150404).

Does the new universal DPI package take more space on the device on installation, or is just the .zip file bigger? I would hate to lose more space on my dying Xperia mini pro, there's not much to spare :P
[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

I'd say the least option - at least I do not see less space left.

[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

I guess "google patch is the google app". Never really used it. I think it's a bit like a browser. Maybe it also includes a part of google now?

Why don't you just install minimal and see if you miss something? I mean - you should know if you need the sync apps.

No - these things are not included in the minimal package.

[Android Software Development] wardawgmalvicious:
So I dirty flashed my ROM and flashed the Minimal X+ GApps just to try it out, and I must say it works beautifully! Gets rid of just about everything I don't use! I love it. Once again many thanks!

-wardawgmalvicious
[Android Software Development] robbsterr:
Thank you! Ingnious work. X Versions are awesome. This is the thread where I will settle down. To bad Banks does not link this page. PA nano is no alternative to good old minimal package!
[Android Software Development] wardawgmalvicious:
I agree, the Minimal X and X+ make minimal even more minimal, its awesome. Nano does not compare to what us Banks Minimal guys were looking for. This however, is an improvement from the Banks Minimal rather than a step backwards.

-wardawgmalvicious
[Android Software Development] furyau:
Winner, thanks, working well on my S5 :)
[Android Software Development] vlucchetti:
Wonderful. So minimal is equivalent to Banks' Minimal, and the X and X+ remove more bloat that I usually take out myself, correct?
[Android Software Development] diavolo rosso:
if I flash Minimal X edition, can I remove email.apk and exchange2.apk with Titanium Backup?
[Android Software Development] Darke5tShad0w:

[Android Software Development] hsrn:
minimal x edition could also remove aosp sms/mms app because i like installing hangouts via play store and have no use for the aosp messaging app
[Android Software Development] wardawgmalvicious:
I think its left in there just in case someone does not have a SMS app to go to over a clean flash. I was thinking the same thing with the launcher, but over a clean flash there would be no launcher. I know a bit different but same concept.

-wardawgmalvicious
[Android Software Development] hsrn:
if you bring forward the argument that there wouldn't be a sms app then i could say that there is no camera app after installing minimal x.

it doesn't effect the rom's functionality because you can immediately install an alternative app from play store after initial boot.

it's a bit different if there is no launcher.

i havn't tried booting a rom without a launcher but it should be unfunctional.
[Android Software Development] furyau:
Use Min X + then?

I believe Min X is close to perfect, even though I want the ASOP Cam. Then it would be. Its not hard for me to copy back in.
[Android Software Development] comesefosseantani:
hi, thank you for the work!

Can I switch to these packages from an old banks standard package keeping the apps and their settings?

Do I have to clear system, reflash the rom and then gapps?

thanks!
[Android Software Development] jajb:
Thank you all for the support and kind words! It's much appreciated! If you haven't already, be sure to blow up [MENTION=2915683]BaNkS[/MENTION] GApps thread as he is responsible for most of the dirty work.

Feel free to suggest any other common bloatware you would like to see in the X or X+ editions from various popular third party ROM's such as Carbon, PAC, PA, etc. (CyanogenMod, Slim, and Mahdi are well covered).

Yes, that is correct.

X edition is all about removing bloatware that a very small portion of users actually use. X+ takes it a step further by removing apps that a good amount of people still might use but are easily replaceable by third party applications. With that being said, i'll consider adding sms/mms to the list of system deletions in the X+ edition (possibly the AOSP voice dialer too). Would like to hear some more feedback from different users of the community.

I'll have the AOSP cam switched to X+ in the next update and remove it from X.

Yes you can. While I always recommend a clean install, I've modified the scripts so that previous banks installs will be wiped clean and all you need to do is wipe dalvik and cache.
[Android Software Development] wardawgmalvicious:
As far as the SMS argument I see what you are saying there. Initially I was wondering why the AOSP camera was taken out, but I ended up eventually finding another AOSP camera with a couple extras that I don't even know what they are. Either way I appreciate what these GApps have done and continued onwards from Banks making my life much easier.

Many thanks to [MENTION=5772029]jajb[/MENTION]!

Again lol.

-wardawgmalvicious
[Android Software Development] furyau:
FYI - if you do a full wipe, you should run the startup setup onetime then reboot and flash minX or minx+ as they stop the first time setup :)
[Android Software Development] Ultramanoid:
It does affect and it is essential in terms of being able to access carrier network sometimes. Activation requires SMS codes in many cases, I am using a prepaid LTE data card right now in one device that is activated by SMS.

No SMS, no way to activate network service... I have used at least 4 carriers in three countries with this way of switching on data. I have no other use for SMS, trust me, I learned the hard way it's bloat I can't get rid of.
[Android Software Development] daniu:
Hi

I am using the standard mms/sms program - please do not remove it in minimal x!

I cannot really understand how soomeone wants small gapps (few apps by google) but at the same time uses hangouts hut probably you are American? Where I live nobody uses hangouts - while I heard that it is quite common in the US.

Wow, I didn't realize there was this gapps package too. Subscribed and downloaded the X+ version. Thanks for the awesome work! :cool:

I have a question though: if I use the X+ package then can I use the CM Apps app from Google Play to install Camera Next and then restore Apollo & File Manager? :confused: I like the CM file manager, ES File Manager has way too options I never use.:rolleyes:

EDIT: I use the SMS apps too, you're already mentioned you won't remove it but I might as well add that too. When I first login into my google account after formatting I receive an SMS from google for the two-step verification. Without the app I wouldn't be able to get it.
[Android Software Development] furyau:
Yes you can, or you can download a ROM like CM11 for your device and then extract out the apks from system that you want. Just copy them back in.

From what you have said, maybe the X version is better start for you?

Hi

Just tried this gapps with Markox linaro ROM.

It does not work - I get an FC straight after setting up my country - it says setup crashed.

I did:

-system reset (wipe system)

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik

-Install ROM

-install gapps minimal x

-wipe cache

-wipe dalvik

Was it too much that you removed?

Regards

[Android Software Development] furyau:
You have to do the setup first before running Min X or MinX+.

So it's one extra reboot !
[Android Software Development] teraßyte:
Apart from Apollo I don't use anything else removed by the X+ edition, rather I have just started using CM (Markox build) since I was using the original samsung firmware until 2 days ago. I might not even use Apollo actually , but it seemed like a good app at a first look.

[MENTION=5772029]jajb[/MENTION]: you should probably update the first post to NOT flash the zip right after the ROM since it makes the setup crash. I can see a lot of people having this issue :p
[Android Software Development] tinyXperia:
Because CMaccount is removed, you can't setup the phone, it force closes the setupwizard and then you're stuck.
[Android Software Development] teraßyte:
Seems I can't do this... After it gets removed I can't get the CM File Manager installed again, I tried the CM Apps app, the apk directly and another CM Apps application as well.

I'll go with the normal package and remove the other apps manually with Titanium Backup for now. If anyone has any idea on why this happens I can try it next time I upgrade the ROM :)
[Android Software Development] JoeSyr:
This minimal package is perfect for my needs, thanks.

One note on the removal scripts that struck me, because I've been using a very similar script and ran into an issue a while back: Removing HTMLViewer.apk will interfere with installing updates to CM roms. As of sometime mid-summer, CM added a somewhat hacky check to their installer script that checks if HTMLViewer is from a CM build (under the assumption that if it's not, the user must be trying to dirty-flash over an incompatible rom). If the file fails the check or is absent, it stops installation and recommends a factory reset. I ran into this on nightly builds because I had been using a very similar de-bloating script, and I assume it applies to their M releases too.

Not saying that it necessarily warrants editing your scripts, but CM users who use these scripts would need to start editing their installer-script to flash ROM updates, unless CM switches to a better way to do this.
[Android Software Development] teraßyte:
I'm a developer myself (a PHP one though) so I like messing around with the scripts, I edited yours X+ edition to not remove the 3 files I need (plus CMAccount to not block the setup wizard) and it works good except for an issue: Apollo won't appear anywhere even thought I made the script NOT remove Apollo.apk and Music.apk. Should I leave something else too for it to work?

---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

That's good to know, I'll edit the script some more for myself and keep that apk too then.
