Alright guys,

Time to make things easier for you.

This is for those who are new to Github or new to NikGapps or confused in anyway with the steps to create a custom gapps build.

Independence Day Release is up! (Q/R) (15th August 2021)

Changelog:
- Ability to flash Addons on top of other gapps and Roms with prebuilt gapps without NikGapps dependency (way to being Independent. eh?)
- Fix modified nikgapps.config being overridden by stock nikgapps.config in some cases
- Ability to modify nikgapps.config from the zip file to customize the installation (for those who sideload zip)
- nikgapps.config version updated to 17 (recommend to use this to build custom gapps builds)
- Remove Eleven with installation of YouTube Music (both stock and vanced)

Note:
- Addons flashed on top of other gapps packages will not get any support for obvious reasons, sometimes the overlays conflict so choose wisely.
- Dirty flash over 27th June or newer build will be fine, Clean flash recommended if you're on older build.
- v17 introduces LogDirectory config which is the location where you can export the installation logs, this is for those who run on encrypted /data partition, now you can export it to any other location from where you can fetch the logs and share it. No need to change anything otherwise.

ToDo:
- include gboard lib
- check for storage space before installing each space to decide which partition to install
- make GoogleClassRoom and GoogleMeet addons

Anyone interested in testing NikGapps on android 12? wait for test 2, see you soon

Alright guys,

Android 12 gapps are up!

Mostly everything is working (tried on AOSP - thanks to @raghavt20 and ArrowOs (thanks to @Joker_V2_0/@merothh for the build)
Although you may encounter some crashes here and there, remember the Roms aren't exactly stable yet.

The builds were already in Canary-Releases for a while (will add them now to stable too)

Changelog? check website.
Download? here or soon will be here

Have fun!

Report in @NikGappsSupport group if you encounter any bugs. Happy to address them.

P.S. custom/config builds are also setup (with nikgapps.config v18) so go ahead and create a custom gapps build for android 12 for you!

Cheers!

New Stable Android 12 Update (18th Oct 21)!

I rest now!

New Stable Release is up! (Q/R/S) (25th Dec 2021)

Changelog:
- Fixed aosp dialer being unset as default dialer even when GoogleDialer was not flashed (like with core package) (for those who noticed :P)
- Fixed an issue with installing a few apps such as GoogleWallpaper on android 10 (thanks for reporting)
- Fixed gapps size being miscalculated in some scenarios
- Introduce use_zip_config value starting nikgapps.config v19 to use nikgapps.config from zip while installing
- Update YouTube Vanced apps to latest versions (Vanced YouTube - 16.29.39, Music - 4.57.52, Manager - 2.6.2)
- Drop PixelTips, GoogleTalkback as those aren't so much useful, Move GoogleTTS from full to separate addons
- Bring back PixelSetupWizard for now (and also include it in omni, stock and full)
- Installer noscript improvements
- Playstore Updates (25th Dec 2021)

Note:
- You can always dirty flash the gapps (although, you need to update gapps only when you clean flash).
- Take backup before if you plan to dirty flash gapps.
- v19 is up and I recommend updating your nikgapps.config to v19.
- you can set use_zip_config=1 in nikgapps.config if you want the installer to pick config file from zip, this can be used while sideloading the gapps or when the /data is encrypted.
- NikGapps doesn't rely on nikgapps.config to function, nikgapps.config just comes with additional features for you to customize the installation.
