Hey thank you for the tip. It's showing now but keeps force closing. Wiped cache but still happens. What could be the issue?

Thanks Again
[Android Software Development] Pinage:
I tried running the debloater on corvus rom but the gapps still exist even though there was no error. Does anyone know why?
[Android Software Development] bbtdev:
Hey,

Thank you for your hard work.

What I love to have a really clean ROM (0 bloat) with a minimum GAPPS to have Google Maps.

So I got Havoc OS without Gapps, flashed your CORE package and then installed Google maps from Play Store, but it does not work. Is there anything else I need to install to have Google maps working?

Also I would like to go with /sdcard/nikgapps.config route, but my phone does not an sdcard. What can I do?
[Android Software Development] KRiST0F:
anyone experience issues with android auto on any R Rom?

digital welding is in the settings of your rom.
[Android Software Development] bbtdev:
Hi,

So what should I have install from your package so that google maps works? I tried it on havoc os and crdroid and google maps dont work.

This is my custom config
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Works perfectly fine on havoc os (redmi note 7 pro) latest canary build. Something is wrong at your end
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Nope, android auto works fine
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
GPS is working perfectly fine for me
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Nope, logs?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
You can keep nikgapps.config in same directory as your zip file, that works too.

As for maps, it works fine, check above posts.
[Android Software Development] Pinage:
Attached logs generated after flashing debloater
[Android Software Development] bbtdev:
I have a custom config (it's attached above), is there something I need to add to make maps work?

And whats the minimal package to have google maps work? I mean should it work only with core after I install the application from google play? Or it needs omni/basic?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Weird, everything went fine. Can you try and find the location of any of the app you're debloating from twrp? Or the recovery you're using.

For example. You're trying to delete Photos, can you find the location of Photos folder?

Check /system, /product partition

No, you just need core package and you can install maps from Playstore.

You can also flash GoogleMaps addon and GoogleLocationHistory addon
[Android Software Development] bbtdev:
Thank you for the info. With our havoc os, did you install havoc + gapps then debloated gapps and then flashed nikgapps?
[Android Software Development] Pinage:
I just realized after searching all the following folders and still can't find all the apps I wanted to uninstall

/system/app/YouTube

/system/priv-app/YouTube

/system/product/app/YouTube

/system/product/priv-app/YouTube

Is there anyway I could find the correct path?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Use termux then

su

pm path <packagename>

Replace <packagename> with actual name (e.g. com.google.android.youtube)
[Android Software Development] Pinage:
I got this outout. Seems like corvus rom put gapps under data folder?

$ su

m path com.google.android.apps.photos <

package:/data/app/~~3veRWgK-ljcwLOH4VSoI9A==/com.google.android.apps.photos-aTP5Duo6ObPjut-VpscdJQ==/base.apk

[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
It shows data because the app is updated from Playstore. Just uninstall them and you should be able to get rid of those apps. If you don't, run the command again after uninstalling the playstore updates. It will show system path then.
[Android Software Development] Pinage:
Ahhh it works!! Thank you so much for guiding!
[Android Software Development] mahroze:
Yes, but it wasn't showing previously after I flashed the add on then it's showing but even then I can't set timers and such since it's force closing everytime
[Android Software Development] Wave3Zindabaad:
hello, I have installed Lineage os 18.1 (lineage-18.1-20210429-nightly-bacon-signed) and then NikGapps-basic-arm64-10-20210130-signed in my Oneplus One. It was a clean installation.-----Recovery >flash lineage > flash NikGapps-basic > Reboot.

Here's the issue am facing :-

a) the clock is not working, and so are some others - error msg - clock won't run without google play services, which is missing in your phone. Tried updating google play services, but no luck

b) the camera app has stopped working. Am unable to make video calls

Any help/suggestion would be deeply appreciated. I have not rooted my phone, as banking apps are not working when I root my phone.

Update - the issue with the google play services is resolved now. have cleared app cache and storage and then uninstalled/re-installed google play services. The issue now remains with the camera app. Is there a way I can flash only the camera app ?
[Android Software Development] Atiq Rahman:
I'm also on LOS 18.1 in One plus One. I understand that Oneplus One does not have a 64-bit processor and as such any Gapps for ARM 64 is not compatible with this phone. I've tried several Gapps ( ARM 64) but all of them led to problems! Unfortunately, I could not find any Gapps applicable to Android 11 on ARM 7. So, I'm without Gapps now on my Oneplus One! I'm requesting Mr. Nikhil tokindly develop NikGapps for Android 11 on Oneplus One i.e. ARM 7a.
[Android Software Development] Magendanz:
I'm getting a little further along with the latest full package, but am running into a different set of symptoms. It's now getting about halfway through (to PlayGames) before restarting TWRP. No log is saved prior to the sudden restart. Note that it doesn't show the bootloader, but just immediately restarts TWRP.

If I disable the PlayGames package, then it will fail on the next package (GoogleCalendar) and disabling that will fail on the next (MarkupGoogle). My first thought was that I was running out of space, but I still have 30% free space on the system partition and 44% free space on the product partition.

Again, the stock package is fine.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Installation logs?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
You can try NikGapps core, I've had reports of it working with arm devices. Give it a try. You can install rest of the apps from Playstore
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
1st May Stable release is up!

Changelog

- Fixes bootloop with OTA update for A/B devices

- Update SetupWizard and associated apps

- Update Quick Access Wallet (You'll be able to see digital wallets in power button menu)

- Update pixel launcher (tested on crdroid, weather widget works)

- Installer script optimization

- detailed changelog - here

Note: OTA update may take as long as 5-6 mins, doesn't mean it's broken, have some patience - it'll work, the backing up and restoring takes time

Download

Enjoy!
[Android Software Development] sohailmm:
Hi ,could someone please send me install script OTA file pixellauncher .sh , I am bootloop now when I tried to remove the script file and reflash the ROM.
[Android Software Development] Magendanz:
Quick feedback on May 1 stable release (testing ARM64):

Install script is not actually showing the values for the available partition sizes

Install script isn't picking up the nikgapps.config when it's in the same folder as the .zip package.

Personalization Services doesn't seem to be populating suggestions in the Home screen or all apps list.

After install, tapping the Recent Apps icon in the nav bar does nothing.

You're still light years ahead of OpenGApps, though, which hasn't updated their Android 11 test release since January.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Hey, thanks for the feedback.

1. Can you send me the installation logs? It doesn't show up partition size when the size value is 0 and partition is not actually a block. I could check the installation logs and confirm

2. I didn't make any changes to that, it's either broken from a very long time or something is wrong with the recovery you're using. Regardless, I'll try this out myself and fix if it's broken

3. Talking about the suggestions that show up when you access recent apps screen? Attaching the screenshots, it works for me

4. Works fine for me, may be an overlay is conflicting with the rom you're using. I believe above issue is associated with this one

Can you try with a different rom? Preferably Los or crdroid?

Thanks!
[Android Software Development] Anmol Majithia:
Hey, I have been having this issue for the past month, (since a fresh install of crdroid 7) on poco f1.

While setting up gapps(i used nikgapps full) on the first boot setup screen, if I connected to wifi, it showed as network failure, for which I had to remove my sim then reinsert and whatnot till it finally worked, but after that in daily use, my google drive, play games, and some other Google services don't work on wifi (only mobile data) while play store, google photos and youtube work normally. In fact, apps that connect to drive to sync my data also don't work over wifi (like drivesync). What should I do?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
May be try a different wifi connection? Or try flashing core package and install all apps as user apps from Playstore and see if the problem persists?
[Android Software Development] Anmol Majithia:
Switching wifi to my other mobile's hotspot worked, but that could again be because the phone thinks that that wifi connection is equivalent to normal LTE. Also, google drive loads and works normally on my laptop connected to the same wifi so I still don't understand why does drive on my phone say no network connection. Lastly, can I switch to core package from full version without formatting? (I don't think so but still confirming)
[Android Software Development] Anmol Majithia:
I solved it, I am so sorry, it was an issue with the DNS server, set it to googles default DNS and everything works normally now. Thanks for your help!
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Switching from full to core requires clean flash which is the right approach to clear any residue in the system, dirty flashing core over full won't make any changes.
[Android Software Development] coogans_bluff:
Thanks for checking it out!

I figured that it really takes a very loooong time for my device to get a GPS lock...it works at some point.

Is there any chance to figure out why it takes such a long time to get a GPS signal?
[Android Software Development] Mowca:
how do i upgrade nikgapps from ota?
[Android Software Development] Uqbar:
I installed by mistake the full version instead of the core.

Is there a package list I can use as debloat.config to remove all unwanted google bits?

I am asking because a) maybe someone else already addressed such an issue or b) figuring out myself could bring me to a non working device.
[Android Software Development] rayray07:
Hey I have been using nikgapps stock for some time now, the thing is my device OP6 has a new vendor out and I want to update it to the latest one, so could one please tell me the steps to do so without losing data and gapps? Additionally can I also follow the same method to update crdroid?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] Uqbar:
Both nickgapps.config files are exactly the same, so there's nothing I can do by comparing them.

Next step is comparing the bundled packages, unless a better idea pops up. Anyone?

1st post also gives some hints:

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

I still need to figure out which Addon is in Full that needs to expunged. But it's something...
[Android Software Development] Docop2:
So for precision, as i don't fully get how can we fully uninstall a whole Nikgapps Core version. Do i change nikgapps.config file, in the same zip file used to flash and put only :

mode=uninstall and put everything listed as : 1 , change every line to -1 ?

i guess we don't change 0 to -1 ?

Those 3 i'm not sure : do we turn all 3 at 0 ?

execute.d=1

mount.d=1

unmount.d=1

Thanks for precision

hi all,

is there anyway to remove the search bar from bottom of the phone on lineage18.1 oneplus 6,

thanks
[Android Software Development] SteveMKII:
Yes I had issues with Android Auto on Android 11 and found a solution, please see here.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
If you wish to completely uninstall nikgapps,

Set execute.d=0 in nikgapps.config and reflash your rom. This will skip the addon.d backup and restore and end result would be pure Rom. (you may have to wipe data or uninstall playstore updates of Google apps since the residue may result in bootloop)

Mount.d and unmount.d are basically mounting and unmounting of partitions. You need them only if you have /product as dedicated partition and you're running on addon v2.

Regardless, if this is too much to process, don't change anything in the config file, the default values are well suited.

Just remember

execute.d=0 followed by uninstalling playstore updates to completely uninstall nikgapps

Package=-1 to uninstall single package (e.g. YouTube=-1 to uninstall youtube)

mode=uninstall will only focus on uninstalling so if the value=1, it will not do anything and if the value=-1, it will uninstall

mode=install is default mode. It will install if value is 1 and uninstall if the value=-1

So I am running Lineage OS 18.1 on my Samsung Galaxy A70 and I can't get nikgapps to install. I have lineage, magisk and dfe all smoothly. I flashed nikgapps core a few times and nothing so I changed to nikapps basic instead. I changed my connection to unmetered. I don't know what else to do. the NikGapps folder is in my internal storage.

I tried this before installing magisk as well. I've spent almost 4 hours trying different things and it's killing me haha

Send me the installation logs from /sdcard/NikGapps folder. If you don't have it, send me recovery.log.

Android Auto comes with full package. Either flash that or flash Android Auto addon. Either way it'll work.

How can i remove NikGapps?

I tried to install a new rom but a backup from nickgapps script starts and I don't want that.
[Android Software Development] Magendanz:
As I mentioned in my initial post, no NikGapps log is saved due to the sudden restart. I was able to pull the recovery.log, however. You can see on line 902 where it was installing Flipendo and then restarted TWRP.

This was installing NikGapps-full-arm64-11-20210507-signed.zip on AOSP v307 arm64-ab-vndklite-vanilla. The only change I made to the GSI was to call resize2fs to get some free space in the system partition.
[Android Software Development] Magendanz:
1. Install logs for stock are attached. (Full crashes and restarts TWRP, so no logs are saved.)

2. I'm still seeing this with the latest Canary builds. My nikgapps.config works fine from /sdcard, but not when in the same directory as the .zip package.

3. Well, the top row of recently used apps in the App List and the pop-up that asks to fill in hotseat icons with recommendations. I suspect that code is in Device Personalization, but I may be wrong.

4. The Recent Apps button stops working after installing stock over CAOS v307, but it worked fine prior. The problem doesn't occur with AOSP v307, so I suspect it's related to one of @eremitein's patches.

Sorry for the strange questions, but this is my first time installing a custom rom and google add-ons.

Whether

NikGapps-Darkflicker-arm64-11-20210512-signed.zip (402.1 MB)

is currently the latest version of Gapps? Later, during the installation, I choose, for example, Core, Go, Basic, Omni, Stock, etc.?

If I choose a package, can I also choose from the package what I would like to install?

My mobile phone Redmi note 4 (snapdragon).

Edit.

Ok. I already know a little more. I read that NikGapps is generally highly recommended on the internet, so I wanted to install quickly without reading the details. But I still can't find the differences between Canary-Releases and Releases.

Edit.

Will the "Core" version be stable or do I need to install "Basic"?
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Check nikgapps.com/downloads for package details. You can also flash addons that are available on Sourceforge.net in Addons-R folder

You need to flash omni or above to get setup wizard from where you can restore your backup, alternatively you can also flash setup wizard addon on top of basic.

Set execute.d=0 in nikgapps.config and reflash rom. That's should do it. But do this when you're clean flashing not when you're dirty flashing.

Add this line in nikgapps.config

AdAway=-1

And reflash AdAway addon.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
1. I think it's copying files to /tmp and the size exceeds after a point and makes recovery restart, I'll try cleaning up /tmp and see if that helps. You could try flashing addons on top of stock and see if you're able to install all of them.

2. Your last post which had recovery.log, it picked up config from external SD card (Firmware folder) so I think that part works fine. (i tested my device too, it works for me)

3. Yes, it's from DPS.

4. Might be because of an overlay that's conflicting. Best way to find out is by flashing addons on top of smaller base. I'd flash basic + addons.
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
Canary releases comes with cutting edge features whereas stable releases comes with properly tested (what was cutting edge in canary at some point).

On the other hand, we also have config releases where you can build your own custom gapps and you'll find that in config-releases folder.

Same way you found NikGapps-Darkflicker-arm64-11-20210512-signed.zip :)

Google Drive broken

Yesterday I installed core gapps+ lineageos for Moto g7 power and I found Google drive unusable. It kept saying to upgrade to the latest version which is the one running. Also I lost all backup/restore functionality (such us WhatsApp backup restore function)
[Android Software Development] Nikhil:
The core gapps doesn't come with gdrive. Did you install gdrive manually from Playstore?
[Android Software Development] Johnfoo19:
Both, installation from Playstore results in drive asking to upgrade it otherwise won't work and manually ended up requesting to login with my account, even though I'm already logged in

Are you facing this issue with older builds? Can you try any older one?

Hi,

thanks for your GApps Builds. I use the Core Package and three Addons together with LineageOS 18.1. All of those work fine for me.

I used to have the OpenGapps Pico on LineageOS 17.1. I'm missing the google glide lib, witch used to be implemented. I don't want the complete gboard addon - too much of google ;-)

I'd be extremely happy if you could release an Addon for the glide lib (or an implementation to the Core Package - with some others might not like ;-)

[phone encryption and boot loop]

I have done a clean installation of LineageOS 18 on my Xiaomi codename Whyred then I immediately installed NikGapps-stock-arm64-11-20210501-signed.zip

After the boot, I logged into my Google Account and immediately went into Android options to enable phone encryption. After the reboot, during encryption process, the phone started to reboot in loop. So I had to enter the rescue and do a format process and a deep wipe. I tried the same identical procedure at least 5 times with same result.

Then I wanted to try just installing LineageOS without NikGapps, and enable phone encryption. This time it worked (even if it did not ask for a PIN, so I don't know what it encrypted without a password..)

Then I formatted/wiped again and tried to install both LineageOS and NikGapps and encrypt the phone again. Still once again I got boot loops.

BUT suddendly, after having tried other 3 times (again always from the scratch) installing LineageOS and NikGapps, the phone finally started to not boot loop after encryption.

I am glad that now my phone works, I just want to ask how is it possible that this behaviour of n-times not working, and at the n-th time it worked
