[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
Once again, thank you for the quick reply. While I haven't resolved the issue that I can't reinstall the rom I figured I'd at least try fixing voice input, so I installed tts and velvet extras, now I can enable hey google&voice match, that was previosly greyed out, but voice input still does not work. Any more idea? (I originally installed basic package)
[Android Software Development] koorosh_bsboys:
Hi there

I have XPeria XZ premium and i am using android 11 on it. every android 11 build i use (pixelexperience, lineage os,....) I am having trouble using android auto.android auto can not connect to my card head unit (kenwood ddx9017sm). I tried opengpass, nickgapss, ... but none of them can solve the problem. do you have a solution for this?
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
Had these problems too, Android Auto in Extras solved it for me, needed to be an system app for some reason. Also my car was very picky about the type of cable that reliably worked
[Android Software Development] koorosh_bsboys:
would you please tell me which nikgapp version and which addon version u use? also how can i install the addon as system app?
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
I use basic package and the Android auto.zip from the extras folder, this zip will install AA as a system app
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
I'm awfully sorry for spamming all over this thread, but while I resolved the Gboard issue, I still haven't managed to get voice input running. As you've suggested, I've installed velvet and tts extras and while everything looks like it should be working, whenever I try to use voice input, the mic simply doesn't seem to recognize any input from the mic.

The mic itself works in calls and recording and I've tried to make sure mic permissions are given to gboard, velvet and google speech services, but still, it simply does not work.

I've tried serveral guides on the issue I've found online but nothing seems to help, also while I'm now able to enable Hey Google and Voice Match in Google App/Assistant settings (Which was previously greyed out and marked as not compatible with my phone), the voice pattern training starts but then just closes again whit a sublte flashing of the screen), when I first try to set it up. It hen shows up as being correctly set up.

This is driving me nuts!
[Android Software Development] LynnnXDA:
Do I really need to Flash rom in Slot A and then proceed to flash again to slot B?

Because when I select Install in TWRP it directly flash to slot B.

What is the proper way? I am confused.

I'm on Poco F3. TWRP 3.6.0 nebrassy. crDroid 7.15
[Android Software Development] lpedia:
You need to flash to both slots, but the order of flashing doesn't matter: it will depend on which one was active when you started. If the first flash is to slot B, the second (after reboot to recovery) will be to slot A.
[Android Software Development] vozs:
@Nikhil: Please add Android Auto to Basic package?
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
Why should he, just flash the AA extra
[Android Software Development] dahawthorne:
Exactly right. I thought that it might be to avoid Google Play Store, but the Android Auto APK is on Apkmirror, so there is no need to bake it into Gapps.
[Android Software Development] montechristos1:
Does 'Gesture Typing' for AOSP keyboard come with gapps or the ROM itself?

I am using core package with Havoc ROM, but Gesture Typing is not available.
[Android Software Development] imhomersimpson:
I have an issue - maybe someone will be able to help, thanks!

Digital Wellbeing app doesn't have Focus Mode - I cannot set timers for the apps.

Flashed latest NikGApps yesterday while clean flashing a new ROM.
[Android Software Development] vozs:
I mean, It is Android Auto stub (GearheadStub) same as Opengapps.
[Android Software Development] meesam3379:
@Nikhil Android 12L support?
[Android Software Development] Saurabhada:
Hi, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong spot but how do I add the icons from installed through NikGapps, i.e., play store or Gmail to the home screen in Android 12? I'm running on a raspberry pi4 and everything is working pretty smooth but I can't seem to add these apps to the home screen. I have to access them through the setting, apps menu. Thanks!
[Android Software Development] montechristos1:
Anyone? Thanks
[Android Software Development] tejasjadhav:
Same issue with me. Not able to set timers on Digital Wellbeing
[Android Software Development] Maheshwara:
Hi, can anybody tell me which of the addons I need to install to get Device Personalization Services? As I do not want Google Dialer, Wellbeing, ..., I need to install Core only, but I also need Screen Attention...
[Android Software Development] Jean20037:
Thanks. In the new custom roms it is no longer useful but they are required :D
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
I'll update tomorrow :)

I will create an addon zip for apps that only few users prefer.

Thanks mate! :)
[Android Software Development] ahmedegypt:
When is the update with the add-on, Dev, please

[Android Software Development] BabyTedhu:
thank you so much
[Android Software Development] :
oh boy!

ur nikgapps is good.

but i want to use only digital wellbeing and face unlock/smart unlock, also no play store n google package......then what i hav to do to install those 2 packages only?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
I'll create an add on package to include these apps and share with you :)
[Android Software Development] :
pls.only 2 packages I need only digital wellbeing n smart unlock[Ir camera based face unlock].

I hav been tried lots of methods to install those package separately but none of methods work without Play services.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Those will not work without play services. You can skip playstore but not play services. :eek:

The package I was talking about would have included - digital wellbeing, face unlock and play services.
[Android Software Development] :
can i disable play services somehow?

or spoofing ?!

---------- Post added at 07:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:53 AM ----------

can u spoof them with microg play services?! not google play services.

https://github.com/microg/android_packages_apps_GmsCore
[Android Software Development] hdcanvas:
Can we use battery optimization on Google play services?

Also request you to please remove digital well being from your basic pack as some roms comes with preinstalled DW & I i think they are just battery cpu sucking useless app making usage pattern theft easy for Google.
[Android Software Development] razr1911:
Can you make dark version of gapps for our phone ??
[Android Software Development] stalkerii:
i asume that i can uninstall any of the g-apps that i dont want (of course non critical or essential ) or use, like the pixel launcher( i prefer nova) ,wallpapers or plaground. Am im right ? exelent post btw :D
[Android Software Development] vinaysp:
[MENTION=4867515]Nikhil[/MENTION] can you make a package of

nano gapps+ dialer support+ Google phone+ Google messages app.

Or provide a package for phone+messages app
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
You can disable wellbeing anytime you want! I did a poll and more than 50% of users wanted to have wellbeing

When dark version of apps are available in playstore, then!

Yes, you are right.

I can but what's wrong with stock package?
[Android Software Development] st_oki9:
Dirty flash!!!,,, realy???
[Android Software Development] SG3:
+1

Also add Gmail

Or create config file like opengapps for excluding apps
[Android Software Development] P.Rabbit:
I installed the Nikgapps from 11.07 on the basic version in an AOSP rom.

I noticed that in the setup the Wizard did not give me the option to choose which backup (my apps, WiFi passwords, and other system settings) that I wanted to recover from my Google account.

Did I do something wrong or is it?
[Android Software Development] GoodyOG:
I can't seem to find the core verison
[Android Software Development] testerS4:
Have you solved the problem with the speech output in the meantime?
[Android Software Development] :
@Nikhil Hi

I wanted to create a Config-Release. Can we add debloater.config into Config-Release?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hey, the debloater is separate at the moment but I can definitely integrate both of them with future releases so you could have single custom build that works both for installing gapps as well as debloating stuff.
[Android Software Development] :
It would be really helpful. Thanks for considering this. I hope you integrate debloater whenever you are free.🙂
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
No, still no voice input. I gave up on it a while ago :(
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
I basically gave it up because for some reason, I have another very strange bug: I can no longer update my lineage rom and while this might be wholly unrelated, the recovery log blasts out a ton of nikgapps related error messages too. It would be super kind if anyone with proper knowledge could take a look at the log and tell me if these error messages could in some way be related with the rom updates failing. I don't really understand what is going on there but I kind of think that the nikgapps process is still busy for some reason and that might be why the update fails 🤷
[Android Software Development] testerS4:
I had a similar case with a friend on the phone. I tried there for a long time. In the end it was due to a certain Google setting.

.Attitude

.Google

.Setting for Google

.Speech input assistant

.Voice input

.Spoken results

must be activated:

All voice searches

The last switch was set wrong there and then it worked with voice input and output
[Android Software Development] voxan24:
Anyone now how i can integrate it in my dotOS build ?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hey, can you share the logs? Where you see the error messages. Also if you can provide more details about the build you flashed, that'd be great.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Unfortunately there is now way you can integrate NikGapps with your Rom at the moment. We're not there yet.
[Android Software Development] BTW lover:
Thank you for looking into this!

I've seen these error messages in the recovery log, I've attached. If you need other logs, I'd be happy to provide them to you.

All of this happened when trying to update my official lineage build for my mi10t through the built in updater, trying to sideload gave the same result. The build I tried to flash was March 19

Edit: for some reason, I can't attach the log. I'll try to send it to you via PM
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hey, thanks for the logs. The errors that you see (w.r.t nikgapps) are due to installer failing to read/write logs to /sdcard.

The main question is, whether gapps successfully survived the ota update? If they did, you can ignore these errors. If they didn't, we have a different problem here.

If you still want to resolve these errors, the work would be around data partition to ensure its mounted as read-write
[Android Software Development] amn1987:
How do I enable battery optimization for Google Play Services? I can't find the nikgapps.config file.
[Android Software Development] kerelberel:
I was a bit confused that this page shows all the available packages, but the download button takes you straight to the full package: https://nikgapps.com/downloads

Apparently the packages are located in Releases > NikGapps-S > Latest date

I don't even know what the S in NickGapps is supposed to mean, but whatever.
[Android Software Development] lpedia:
It's a reference to the official Android version, and it's not NikGapps-specific. "S" is Android 12.

Android releases have had code names with initial letters in alphabetical order of release. The base Android version can thus be identified by its initial letter, eg

6 (Marshmallow) = M

7 (Nougat) = N

8 (Oreo) = O

9 (Pie) = P

10 = Q

11 = R

12 = S
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Android 12.1 build is up! :)

Download - https://sourceforge.net/projects/nikgapps/files/Canary-Releases/NikGapps-SL/

Note:

This is an initial release. Everything is working fine.

Aosp apps are not replaced in some devices, that's known and we're working on it.
[Android Software Development] ssergiio:
Thanks for your work! As it is an initial release could you move it to the main branch so we can build custom .zip's using the nikgapps.config method?
[Android Software Development] sosimple:
I installed Nickgaps in galaxy note 8 lineage 18.1 supporting microg. I tried base Nickgaps, core, Android auto addon.. Nothing. Android auto, downloaded the needed apps and then red error screen, error 17 if i remember well. I tried the same with lineage 17. Same. So i gave up and installed a Samsung based rom. Android auto is working there but it has installed full gapps..
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes, it's in place now. You should be able to send pull request for android 12.1 custom builds.

Installation logs? From /sdcard/NikGapps/nikgapps_logs folder
[Android Software Development] ssergiio:
Thanks but I can't see any v21 nikgapps.config, we should use the v20?
[Android Software Development] sosimple:
Dropbox

www.dropbox.com

I have changed rom now but the folder still exists. I uploaded it if it still have any interest.
[Android Software Development] duckredbeard:
I just installed Lineage OS 19.1 on Raspberry Pi 4 (4gb). After initial setup, I rebooted to recovery and flashed this nikgapps (NikGapps-basic-arm64-12.1-20220411-signed). Upon reboot, I get the play store in my app drawer but it will not open, says I am offline. Other apps (web browser) have no issue getting internet. This was tried with ethernet and two different WiFi SSIDs.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Use v21. I'll upload the file on SF soon.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Check if network access is provided to playstore.
[Android Software Development] duckredbeard:
Where would I check? The play store doesn't even open.

Edit: Found it. Under WiFi settings in the info about the app. I'm learning to be patient that some apps (Tasker plugins) take a while to settle in so they can be used. This installation is going to be a big addition to my keg fridge monitor/alerting system. If only we could get Tasker to use GPIOs as a profile or task...
[Android Software Development] ssergiio:
Used v20 as I can't find the v21 anywhere but it worked well. Could you tag me when v21 is uploaded so I can re-build and re-flash?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
New Stable Release is up! (SL, S, R, Q) (13th April 2022)

Changelog:

- Android 12.1 (12L) release

- Many addon.d fixes (faster ota update and fixes)

- Fixed Pixel Launcher and Setup Wizard for android 12.1 release

- Fixed an issue which requires formatting /data partition to boot

- use addon_version = 3 (dropping v2 support)

- Fixed Aosp apps not being deleted for some users

- Dropped Vanced and Adaway support as those are non-gapps

- Enforce Android Auto to be clean flashed only to avoid unnecessary issues

- Add Google Talkback addon (for those who wants to include them in custom builds)

- Script improvements

- nikgapps config version updated to v21

Note:

- Clean flash recommended if coming from android 12

- Dirty flashing is fine if you are on canary 12.1 release (however, you don't really need to dirty flash unless you want to consume any fix mentioned in the changelog)

- Since we've removed the support of some of the addons, if you use nikgapps.config v20 to build your custom gapps, you may not find those built as part of your packages, update your config to v21.

If you come across any issues or you have any feature request, I suggest you add it on github (here). It is really very simple and it will help us track the underlying issues.

Enjoy!

[Android Software Development] Nollie8969:
Newbie question: why would I install addons through recovery instead of Playstore ? What is the advantage ?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Some of the apps requires privileges that only system apps can acquire.

Some addons comes with overlays which you won't find with Playstore updates.
[Android Software Development] cr0wdelex:
I want to use Nikgapps SL Apr 20 build to update rom.

In Apr 13 build, I could flash Omni and Velvet addon to have the google assistant. But in Apr 20 build, there is no Velvet addon.

What should I do?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
Sorry if this was already answered somewhere else, but I looked through the nikgapps website as well as just general searching, and I can't find any answers. What is the diff between android SL, S, R, and Q ? The most important thing is, which do I want if I am trying to upgrade to LineageOS 19.1 on several phones?
[Android Software Development] Nollie8969:
A12.1, LOS19.1 is SL.

R is A11
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
Thanks. So S is 12 and SL is 12.1? Why do they do this? Just stick to version numbers.
[Android Software Development] Nollie8969:
to correct myself; it's A12L. Stupid, yes
[Android Software Development] kraoc:
I flash LOS 19.1 + Nikgapps SL (core to full - unsure if there were enough system space) + Magisk using ADB (can't TWRP on A12)

I don't have Nikgapps folder and/or log.

May I adb flash nikgapps.zip renamed to UnInstall.zip and all will be uninstalled ?

I want to switch back from full to core without wiping things :)
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes, you can uninstall it by renaming the zip file.

[Android Software Development] lufee84:
Really new to root, Just installed SL core on my old Samsung Tablet.

What is the difference between installing Google Photo via Playstore vs Signed addon?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
The addon makes it a system app, allowing permissions and access to system apis that a playstore app cannot have. This is a general difference between an app installed via playstore vs addons.

For some of the apps like Google drive, gmail, it really doesn't make a difference but for apps like pixel launcher, it highly depends on those additional permissions and overlays.

I installed the nikgapps core on my poco f2 pro with crdroid 8.5 (android 12.1) but now the Google assistant doesn't work. when I press the button to activate the assistant it always tells me that I have to activate Google as the default assistance app but Google is already active as the default assistance app.

can i install some APK to solve the problem?

I have installed this package

You need to flash GoogleSearch addon.

Flash rom

Flash gapps (core)

Flash GoogleSearch addon

Reboot
[Android Software Development] RaeesD:
Hey, thanks for this, but where on Earth is the GoogleSearch add-on? I looked through the recent releases and canary builds for SL on SourceForge but can't find it.

Edit: Found it a bit further back under Releases/Addons-SL/21-Apr-2022/
[Android Software Development] Reentry310:
Will this particular gapps distribution work with LineageOS 19.1 and survive OTA updates via LineageOS' custom recovery? or should I stick with what is recommended by LineageOS which is MindTheGapps.
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
I was using opengapps with 18.1. But since they do not have their act together for 19.1, I switched to nikgapps core when I updated to 19.1 on my device (OnePlus 6T). I dirty flashed too, right over 18.1 and opengapps, only wiping cache. Been working A OK since. And sure it survives OTA updates.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes, it will work. I'd suggest you get started with NikGapps core.

NikGapps offers a variety of customizations, you can create your own build for free in 30 mins too -> https://github.com/nikgapps/config

With precisely the apps you need for your daily use.
[Android Software Development] landry314:
Why did I have to install Google-Fi from the Play Store after I installed the Google-Fi Addon?

Other than installing GCS, what exactly is the addon doing? Why doesn't it install Google-Fi too? There is an addon.d script for Tycho. I figured it would install Google-Fi as a system app.

I am using havoc 4.16 on a 6t global. Us like to switch to LOS 19 and use this gapps version. I'm looking to keep as much los as possible, but still use banking apps and maybe Google maps and Google pay. What would be the best version of nikapps to use to make that happen. Can I get away with core and just add the above (oh want to use magisk as well). Any reply would be appreciated. I've been using custom ROMs but mostly with the gapps installed already....
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes, I would flash NikGapps core and install Google maps and pay via playstore
[Android Software Development] radman57:
