Hi Nik,

Just an update by carrying out your suggestion it does then allow the transfer to be done. There are a couple of things that are not 100% working. When configuring the wifi it will not allow you to set a static IP address and DNS servers for some reason. The second issue is Trebuchet keeps stopping I have cleared the cache and data and rebooted but it still crashes. I am now in the process of copying from the original device to see if this works.

Having copied the data from my original phone the system still crashes with Trebuchet. Closing the app blanks the screen and I can not do anything more with the system. That was with a fresh build of Lineageos 20.1, the Core and Pixel Setup.

The files used are:

twrp-3.7.0_9-0-greatlte.img

lineage-20.0-20221004-UNOFFICIAL-greatlte.zip

NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20220908-signed.zip

NikGapps-Addon-13-PixelSetupWizard-20220908-signed.zip
[Android Software Development] casouzaj:
I clean-flashed the full SL package on the same recovery session, after LineageOS 19.1 on my Xperia XZ2 phone. Pixel Launcher didn't show up. Only Trebuchet was there. Then, I dirty-flashed the Pixel Launcher addon. It overwrote Trebuchet, but it crashes all the time. Any advices?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Try flashing pixel launcher from pixelify magisk module till the time the issue is resolved. The issue is known for android 13, are you facing it on latest (dated) available addon?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Any chance you flashed Pixel Launcher too? Trebuchet is not supposed to crash with mere core + Pixel Setup Wizard addon.

WiFi not allowing you to set static ip might not be related to gapps, is it working when you don't flash gapps and use Los?
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
Hi Nik,

I only flashed the device with the files listed in my last post, I believe it does not include the Pixel Laucher. The static IP address can also not be set when just using LOS. It allows you to enter the information but when entering connect it returns to the connect screen. Once again if you enter the default setting without setting the static address it works.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
So the issue is rom specific, as far as Trebuchet crash is concerned, I'm yet to get a Los 20 build for my device (vayu) so I'll have to wait for it to arrive and then I can test NikGapps on it. Can you use any other launcher meanwhile as a workaround? Also, would be great if you could confirm if Trebuchet is crashing even when you flash nikgapps core only.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes, recommendes is clean flash but you should be OK with dirty flash.

Google phone + Google messages? I can.

About that config. Need some time but sure, I will get that in place.

Till that time, you can update the attached file and send me, I will create suitable package and send you.

Yes, basic version doesn't come with setup wizard. Flash stock package if you need setup wizard. Also, looks like you already has an addon.d placed in system which restored setup wizard for you from your previous setup.

Just clean flash and use stock version, there shouldn't be any problem.
[Android Software Development] P.Rabbit:
I installed the basic version, because I have fewer Google apps, just like I do in open-gapps.

Is it possible to have the wizard setup in the basic version? Would be nice.

Thank you for your time and work, Nik.
[Android Software Development] SG3:
Which attached file?
[Android Software Development] Tusmobil:
Just installed the basic package with Lineage OS 16.0 on my Poco F1, but I cannot find the face unlock option. Is it hidden anywhere?
[Android Software Development] hadiyalkishan:
Very useful package..

Thanks dev.
[Android Software Development] vinaysp:
Nothing wrong..but I'm not poco F1 user. My device is mido( redmi note 4)
[Android Software Development] Vitty599gtb:
Whoah, this package seems amazing. I'm going to flash it with the aosip. Thanks man, and please, update it:svetius:
[Android Software Development] adhammagdy:
Aroma

Does Aroma package work on POCO? And is there an alternative way to customise the package? (Like if I want keep but no books) like in gapps you can make a file .gapps-config with your app choices
[Android Software Development] Abirdey@2011:
Can it be flashed on top of Gapps
[Android Software Development] therajatshahare:
Hello sir, I'm Sanders (Moto G5s Plus) user. Does this works if I flash it with Havoc rom? Your gapps package is really amazing that's why I wanna try it.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
No, basic is intended to be minimal + face unlock and youtube. you need to flash stock for setup wizard.

Check the attached file from this post. it has the instructions, feel free to reach out to me if you have queries regarding the attached file.

Hope you found it.

Thank you for the feedback! it motivates me!

mido, you can find the aroma one and more kinds of package in the telegram release channel. [MENTION=8381388]NikGA[/MENTION]pps

I will, as long as it is useful to users :)

Unfortunately, Aroma doesn't work on poco. I'm working on alternate way to customize the package. as of now, find the attached xml and update if you want any customized gapps package. I know it doesn't give you choices at run time but still something better :)

It is not recommended to flash the package over some other gapps package, you can dirty flash nikgapps over nikgapps anytime. you can still give it a try, don't forget to take backup and wipe dalvik-cache after flashing the package.

I encourage you to try that out, 25th June build is too old. haven't got much time to keep xda thread updated. however, i made several releases in telegram group. feel free to try that out. [MENTION=8381388]NikGA[/MENTION]pps
[Android Software Development] syaukaniismail:
Thanks for sharing, this is what i want.... Minimum gapps but it's complete package..
[Android Software Development] _undead:
Great initiative, please add battery optimization for Google Play Services. It sucks a lot of juice otherwise. Even when battery optimization is enabled, notifications for apps arrive just fine.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Thanks! :)

I've added it, just haven't got the time to release the build on xda. I'll do that this week.

You can find the latest build on telegram group or in Android file host.
[Android Software Development] saintjimmy1984:
Great. I use core edition build 22.07.2019. Can you please make "Find my device" not to re-enable itself after phone reboot ?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Rather than disabling it, how about just removing that app from the system once and for all? :P

BTW, new update is up! Grab it from telegram channel [MENTION=8381388]NikGA[/MENTION]pps

I'll update the thread soon.
[Android Software Development] saintjimmy1984:
well, i use root uninstaller and can't see the app installed anywhere. also tried with terminal to find all system apps with no luck. can you provide the apk name ( like com.android.findmydevice ) ?
[Android Software Development] Joakin2k:
Awesome minimalist gapps , but digital well-being is bloat for me
[Android Software Development] Dims_Camper:
Now we have clean aosp apps zip, can you make one to clean google apps as well? So it can be used as debloater zip ?
[Android Software Development] bythelaw:
This thread is great idea, love this. Thanks
[Android Software Development] RETIEF:
I have had problems with Los ROMs and launchers. Nova has always worked.
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
So this is what I have tested

1. Loaded TWRP and a factory reset to wipe all data.

Loaded LOS ROM via adb sideload with no Gapps or Addons

Booted the system which allowed the static IP to be set and connect to the wireless network. The system starts with no Trebuchet failures. This seems to indicate that the base OS is behaving correctly.

2. Loaded TWRP and a factory reset to wipe all data.

Loaded LOS ROM via adb sideload

Installed NikGapps Core from TWRP install menu before rebooting after OS load

Booted the system which allowed the static IP to be set and connect to the wireless network. The system starts with no Trebuchet failures. I have logged into the play store and this works also. This seems to indicate that the base OS and the NikGapps core are behaving correctly. I then loaded the NikGapps addon from the TWRP menu over the top on the above working system. This then gave the Trebuchet error.

I am unable to use any other launcher as once Trebuchet crashes I am unable to navigate the menu’s or open the Play Store app.

Let me know if you need me to do any more scenarios to look at the issue.
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
So you tried to add more NikGapps components AFTER you first booted LOS?
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
On the second test I loaded the LOS ROM and NikGapps Core before starting the system. After that it successfully booted without errors I was able to login to the Play store without any Trebuchet crashes. I then powered off and went to TWRP menu and installed the NikGapps Pixel Setup Wizzard Addon and booted the system which then caused the Trebuchet failures.
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
So the answer to my question was YES. And it's also the cause of your problems.
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
Yes but only the NikGapps Pixel Setup Wizzard Addon. The NikGapps Core was loaded before booting LOS. It appears that the NikGapps Pixel Setup Wizzard Addon causes Trebuchet to crash. When loading both the NikGapps and addon before booting the system that also causes Trebuchet to crash.
[Android Software Development] retry0001-coffee:
Is there anywhere in docs that says you may add it after first boot without problems?
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
So looking at the start of this thread the recommended action is to load LOS and any Gapps and addon before booting the system. In my post above I had a response from Nikhil saying that in order to restore your original settings from another device backup you need to install the Pixel Setup Wizzard Addon. This is when I started to try and diagnose the issue , which seems to be down to the Pixel Setup Wizzard Addon.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
At no point did I advise you to flash Pixel Launcher. :)

It was Pixel Setup Wizard ;)
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
Hi Nik,

My mistake 😉 I have been using Pixel Setup Wizard, I got a little confused with the other people's comments. The last update regarding my investigations were posted at Today at 12:22 AM above. As I said in that post if there is anything else you would like me to try then let me know.

I have just edited all of my previous posts to ensure that I have stated the correct addon :)
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Thanks! If you could report back with your findings on below, it would be of great help.

1. Installation path of Trebuchet (whole path where it is located in system)

2. Flash Pixel Launcher addon and delete the Trebuchet apk, reboot to see if pixel launcher crashes for you.
[Android Software Development] jojo33680:
Hi,

I've update my rom and reflash gapps (last stock for Android 13) and now hey. Google doesn't work. Must i have to flash any add-on?

Thanks you for help
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
You need to flash Google Search addon. And flash it before first boot.
[Android Software Development] jojo33680:
So if i reflash gapps without flash rom and Google search addon it will working?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Yes and additionally wipe /data before you flash gapps this time. Google Search addon needs to be clean flashed.
[Android Software Development] Lollauser:
deleted
[Android Software Development] jojo33680:
I've made a clean flash with rom the16th octobre hey Google was working and thé 18 octobre i've update thé rom and reflash gapps and hey google not working

So i need to rewipe data to flash the Google search add on?
[Android Software Development] Lollauser:
i'm about to start a clean installation of new rom, and then Nikgapps.

Sorry but it's not completely clear to me what i need to flash: i go for FULL package, and i would like to have:

- regular google restore of last phone backup

- working Android Auto

- working Voice Match (ok/hey google)

So which addons i need to flash also, on top of FULL package?

I will also remove some stock app by editing the config file
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
When you update your Rom, you don't need to reflash gapps unless it's really needed. In case the gapps didn't restore themselves with the rom update, dirty flashing Google search must have broken the feature. It's best that you wipe /data and start fresh.

Full contains all of the above apps, so you don't need additional addons.

You can certainly configure nikgapps.config to skip a few apps if you need and the installer will by default delete the aosp counterpart of the google app you're installing so if you want to keep the aosp counterpart too, set the package value to 2 in nikgapps.config instead of 1.

You can also create your own custom NikGapps build in less than 30 mins at no cost by following instructions from https://github.com/nikgapps/config
[Android Software Development] Lollauser:
Thank you very much for your quick and comprehensive answer, as always :)

about addons, i apologize but i got misled by some old post i did read, i wrongly understood tha AA and voice match functions always need some addon.

Everything clear now, also about the build system on github i didn't notice before :P
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
The addons are only required when those Google apps are not part of the gapps variant you're flashing. Many rom developers prefer recommending NikGapps core + addons. That is where you really need addons to flash. Full covers most of the apps. You can also find more details about what is included in which variant at https://nikgapps.com/downloads

The build system is really helpful, you could just have a single zip created for you with your configurations.
[Android Software Development] crab-it:
1. I have attached the information with regard to the existence of Trebuchet on the system when it crashes after installing the Core and Pixel Setup.

2. Installing Core, Pixel Setup Wizzard and Pixel Launcher from a fresh LOS load and then booting allows the system to boot and recover your settings from a backup.

The only thing that I noticed was that when unlocking the screen, using a PIN it seems to take two attempts before allowing it to unlock. I would however need to test this further as I only setup the PIN and not the fingerprint or pattern settings.
[Android Software Development] YoShake:
Is there a way of installing ngapps on A13 without custom recovery with or w/o root?

There's no LoS13 nor twrp for my moto G pro/stylus 2020 supporting api 33.

Maybe a working flasher? Gave a shot using smart flasher(discontinued) but it tried to install ngapps as a magisk module which obviously failed.
[Android Software Development] Gramdalf:
A couple things here.

I'm currently running IodeOS, which uses microG by default.

I would like to have the most very basic gapps required for google play games to run- I play Guardian Tales, which in my case requires my google account to log in.

I won't go into too much detail, but basically:

Could I install a nikgapps addon on top of microG that adds the necessary support for google play game?

If that won't work, do I have to completely remove microG and install the core package, and then any addons?

If so, what addons would I need? I get a platform error: 4010 when trying to login (but it's in game, so I'm not sure if that's actually from android).

I have both root (magisk) and custom recovery (twrp) installed and working.
[Android Software Development] ahoellrigl:
I have a Moto G5 (XT1676, cedric). Have installed TWRP 3.5.2-9-0 via fastboot flash, then the official LineageOS 18 package via ADB sideload and then NikGapps Stock for Android 11 with TWRP from the phone's internal sdcard.

I could not flash the file NikGapps-stock-arm64-11-20220908-signed.zip with ADB sideload - is that OK?

My phone's language is set to German, but much of the text in NikGapps (e.g. the Playstore) is in English. Is it possible to have German text also in the NikGapps? What can I do?
[Android Software Development] ew:
I am running the full gapps version for A12 on a Lineage 19.1 OS for my Moto G100.

I flashed the gapps after my OS and prior to Magisk.

My question is - the nikgapps is appearing as a magisk module. Is that normal? Everything appears to be behaving properly. I am a bit afraid of something (or maybe me accidently) disabling the magisk module and things not behaving. I am just wondering if I should be concerned.

I had a similar configuration in the past on other devices and don't remember nikgapps appearing as a magisk module. I am also wondering how that happened since (1) I flashed it prior to magisk and (2) I flashed it through recovery and not through magisk.

Thanks in advance for the assistance.
[Android Software Development] fonzacus:
sorry if its been already answered (would be nice to add to the faq), is it possible to dirty flash "upgrade" packages from core > basic etc as with other gapps?

currently on a13, but found many of the stock aosp apps to be bugged and would like to stay on the rom for a bit longer
[Android Software Development] lesiot:
Is it any possibilty to make android auto addon instalabe to dirty rom?

With A12 i was using AA version 20220222, and everything worked perfect. Now on A13 there isn't version to flash dirty, and it's take too much time, to make every rom update clean flash (and set everything again, and again).

Please, say it's possible.
[Android Software Development] Hunter2809:
Hi!

I got a ginkgo with CrDroid v9 and I wanna flash some NikGApps addons which cannot be dirty flashed. I am not able to find the runtime-permissions.xml file, what should I do? I don't want to format my Android again.

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Find this /data/misc_de/*/apexdata/com.android.permission/runtime_permissions.xml and delete it
[Android Software Development] Android 90:
Hi, i've a problem: LineageOS 19.1 for Redmi 5 + NikGApps SL FULL = No call recording. 🥺

Is possible to fix? Thank you so much. 🤖
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Unfortunately there is no way other than flashing via recovery. I will however add support of flashing via flasher app in future.

Installing actual gapps package on top of MicroG isn't the best idea. That kind of defeats the whole purpose of installing MicroG, ideally the issue should be fixed at MicroG end.

For starters, I request you to share the installation logs so I could check if I can differentiate the language and put the text in German. And you should be able to install NikGapps stock via sideload, I can only confirm whats wrong after looking at the logs.

As long as you flashed it in recovery, you shouldn't be concerned but I'm surprised to see that it's appearing as a module, that's not how I built it, can you please share the installation logs so I can check what happened there?

Yes certainly you can. But there are a few apps that works best when clean flashed such as GBoard, Android Auto so while upgrading the variant, if you come across those apps, those apps won't install. Rest should be fine.

Its possible to flash but you won't be happy with it since Android auto works perfectly only when clean flashed.

You can set GoogleDialer=2 in nikgapps.config and flash NikGapps, that way you'll be keeping aosp dialer along with Google Dialer and aosp one has call recording support.
[Android Software Development] ahoellrigl:
Thanks for your answer. For the moment, I have switched to LineageOS 18 for microG on my Moto G5. If I give it another try with LineageOS + NikGapps, can you just tell me where to find the installation logs?
[Android Software Development] ew:
With respect to my report that I saw nikgapps is appearing as a magisk module

I looked and seems like installation logs are not created (lineageOS recovery?).

Anyway, what I did is removed the module from magisk, rebooted into recovery and re-installed nikgapps - and it is no longer appearing as a magisk module. So I am not sure what the issue may have been.
[Android Software Development] Android 90:
Thank you so much for the answer, the only way is a double dialer? Not exist a trick for to fix Google Phone? Thank you again!
[Android Software Development] user2332:
Hi!

Can someone change this from gapps install to gapps uninstall?

NikGapps-basic-arm64-13-20220908-signed

It was written here. Maybe I misunderstood?

Would someone convert the "basic" package for me?

"How to remove/uninstall an Addon or Package?

Method 1 (Faster and Recommended)

edit nikgapps.config and set <Addon>=-1 (e.g. YouTube=-1)

set mode=uninstall

Reflash the zip you flashed in first place to install the addon/package"

edit:

Even though I set everything to "-1", Play Store, Google Services, Messages, Dialer are still there.

I can not solve it.
[Android Software Development] fonzacus:
if you want to completely uninstall nikgapps, you could rename the pack as uninstall.zip

if you want to selectively uninstall a few apps, youll have to dig further

All the features NikGapps offers

is the config at a standard location? is it being overridden by another config elsewhere?

https://nikgapps.com/misc/2022/02/22/NikGapps-Config.htm
[Android Software Development] user2332:
Tried uninstall zip, almost good but google chrome is still up.
[Android Software Development] Lollauser:
You can disable it from app information page.

You will not get ridden completely of it, but i think is a better way to avoid anything not working, than completely uninstalling it
[Android Software Development] :
I recommend you to re-flash the ROM to avoid future problems.

Edit: without flashing the GApps
[Android Software Development] naf_:
(Pardon my stupidity, but) How are folks installing nikgapps on android 13? My understanding is that twrp doesn't yet support 13 (if I could even figure out a manifest and how to build it "for" 13, since there is no minimal-manifest-twrp 13 branch), and converting to a magisk module wouldn't work because nikgapps needs to be installed before first boot so cant use magisk app to install a module. Is there some other custom recovery, or does twrp work on some devices with 13, or is there a manual installation that i am not understanding?
[Android Software Development] i_pk_pjers_i:
Hi,

I'm on a clean install of LineageOS 19.1 official (20221106 guacamole) on my OnePlus 7 Pro sideloaded via LineageOS 19.1 recovery 20221106, and I'm rooted with Magisk 25.2.

I now flashed NikGapps-core-arm64-13-20220908-signed.zip via adb sideload which now has gms core crashing automatically and Google Play Store automatically crashes.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

edit: Well, I think I just realized I tried installing NikGapps-core-arm64-13 which is probably for Android 13? That would explain it not working lol

edit 2: Yep, it works now, installing the right version is important lol
