[G 2014 Android Development] doppelhelix:
I would suggest to use the gapps-config.txt to exclude/include apps in opengapps.

see https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options for all options.

I always download the super-package (mainly because it has Street and Earth).

Opengapps will only install what is configured in the gapps-config.txt. just place it in the same folder as the zip.

here is a complete gapps-config.txt with all options. everything with an # in front of each line will be installed.

just copy this to gapps-config.txt and place it in the same folder as the opengapps.zip

#Everything NOT commented will NOT be installed
