Hi Everyone,
Exactly one year ago we started this channel and NikGapps support group.
It has been an amazing journey so far, starting the project from scratch is never easy, the project is growing more than ever. Thank you for all your support in making this project what it is today.
With this milestone, we are excited to announce that NikGapps is now becoming Open Source.
You can find it here. The repository will be updated with the noscripts and information on how you can create the packages yourself soon.
Feel free to contribute by sending pull requests to the repository :)
Thank you for choosing NikGapps!

Alright guys, time for an update!
Experimental Build (24th June)
Changelog:
- Revamped the whole mounting mechanism
- Fixed mounting issues with newer twrp version (3.4)
- Add support for Devices with Dynamic Partitions (Thanks to @merothh)
- Made nikgapps.config location portable (now installer also supports reading the file from the same directory gapps zip is)
- Remove AOSP Browser, Email, Gallery with Chrome, Gmail, Photos installation
- Fixed an issue that uninstalled playstore updates with dirty flashing NikGapps
- Updated nikgapps.config with Go Apps (You can now configure Go apps installation too)
- Added Android Device Policy to support Work Profile (Starting Stock Package)
- Moved Lawnchair to priv-app as it is reported to work better being privileged app
- Debugging logs will now be better at reading (nikgapps.log)
- Playstore Updates (24th June)
Download
Note:
About NikGapps config Portability
- You can now place nikgapps.config in the same folder as your nikgapps package (Optional)
- if the installer finds nikgapps.config in the same folder as your gapps zip, it will prefer reading that and skip reading the nikgapps.config file present in /sdcard/NikGapps folder
- if it doesn't find nikgapps.config in the same folder as your gapps zip, it will continue to read the nikgapps.config file present in /sdcard/NikGapps folder
Important!
If you're comfortable placing nikgapps.config in sdcard/NikGapps folder, continue to do that. This feature is only for those who format their internal storage and lose nikgapps.config.
