[Android Software Development] Deltadroid:
New Kitkat Gapps Base

I have also separated out all of the additional applications inside of the standard Kitkat gapps package. There is now a Kitkat "base" gapps package and all of the other of the Google applications will be "addons". Breaking down the Google packages gives everyone more flexibility with their installations. Also, the maintenance of the Google applications will be easier with smaller packages because downloading and uploading will be faster.

The new "base" Kitkat package can be installed on top of the previous "standard" gapps Kitkat package in order to update. No wiping necessary. If you want to have all of the applications that were installed by the "standard" gapps package, then install all of the following packages:

Kitkat Base Gapps Package:

Base Gapps package for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-20150202-1-base-signed.zip

Recommended "Standard" Kitkat gapps addons:

Google CloudPrint addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-cloudprint-20150202-1-signed.zip

Google Gmail addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-gmail-20150202-1-signed.zip

Google News & Weather addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-news-20150202-1-signed.zip

Google Search addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-search-20150202-1-signed.zip

Google Talkback addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-talkback-20150202-1-signed.zip

Google Text to Speech addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-tts-20150202-1-signed.zip

Additional Kitkat gapps addons:

Google QuickOffice addon for 4.4.4: gapps-kk-google-office-20150202-1-signed.zip

Notes:

* The "Standard" Kitkat gapps package is now deprecated.

* After installing the Kitkat "base" gapps package, any combination of the additional addons can then be installed.

* The Google Search addon will replace the stock "Quick Search Widget".

* The Google Gmail addon will replace the stock email client.

* The "base" Kitkat gapps package will no longer remove the stock "quick search widget".
