[Android Software Development] Oblias:
OK, first off, the answer to your original question is 'NO'. If you, or anyone reading this thread, is using a Pie rom, that would be version 9 of Android, right? So.... you want a BiTGApps-arm64-9.0.0 flavor of this gapps package. The 9 flavor is for Pie, the 10 flavors are for Android 10 Q. Makes sense, now, yes? :)

For your second question, the newest version of the gapps for Pie is called BiTGApps-arm64-9.0.0-v12_signed.zip . As to where you can get it, well for the time being the Dev is having some work done to his server, so the only way to get it is by using the Telegram app, and joining the channel that is listed in the very first post in this thread. It's a pain for people who don't normally use Telegram, but that's the way it is until the Dev gets things straightened out with his server.

Or as a final option, if you or anyone were in a pinch to get the file, a nicely asked favor might get them the file via a Google Drive download. You never know? ;)

That is part of the purpose of using this gapps package. VERY minimal install of Google apps, just enough to get your phone up and running. So, you won't see any of the normal Google apps as being installed, because they aren't. If you need/want any, you'll have to install them via the playstore.

But as I said, that is only part of the reason this gapps package was created. The other, and to me, more important part, is so that now we can apply battery optimization to most all of the Google services that we could not before. That results in a MUCH improved battery life, trust me!!

Another good feature of this gapps package is not having to go thru the Google setup right at the startup of a newly flashed rom. I think it's great!

So, in a nutshell, if you can go to settings and add your Google Account, and then access the playstore, you have done things right. Enjoy!!

I'm not NoSpamDan, obviously, but I will answer your question since NSD seems to be very busy these days. If you were a Telegram user, there would be a file available along with the gapps package called "config.txt" . That is what is should be named.

For you, and others who do not use Telegram, and until NSD gets his server up and running, here is what the config.txt file contains, exactly:

# This config file should be placed in root of internal storage

# Set here "true", if you want to install SetupWizard components
ro.config.setupwizard=false

Just copy/paste that into a new .txt file named config.txt, and you are golden. The very last line is the answer to your question about how it should be edited. If there is a false as the last word, then the Setup Wizard will not run on the first time you boot into your flashed rom. If it reads true, then the Setup Wizard will run as normal in all other gapp packages.

And finally, there's the question as to where this config.txt file goes. It HAS to be in the root of your Internal Storage. Well, let me clear that up also. It only HAS to be in the root of Internal Storage if you want the Google Setup Wizard to run like normal when you first boot a freshly flashed rom. The last word has to be true. If there is no config.txt in the root of your Internal Storage, or if there is, but the last word is false, then BiTGApps will NOT run the wizard on startup.

Hope that was clear to you, and everyone who is a little perplexed as to how this whole thing works. :)
