Hi Everyone,

The issue with sourceforge denying the request still persists which is the reason why you are not getting your builds in 30 mins.
To circumvent the issue, we've implemented uploading the files to an alternate file hosting website and the download link of your user builds can be found here.

This is only applicable to regular builds and not the elite builds. We're working with sourceforge support to resolve the issue in the meantime, if the issue takes longer to resolve, we will permanently switch to alternate option.

If you are aware of any alternate option, feel free to leave your recommendations.

Thanks for choosing NikGapps!

Announcement for Elite users.

you now have a dedicated page on nikgapps.com and can be accessed using https://nikgapps.com/<your_github_username>

for e.g. https://nikgapps.com/vivekvijayan20, https://nikgapps.com/Terminator-J, https://nikgapps.com/Gwolf2u (to name a few)

This dedicated page will offer you an organized way of accessing the download links - all in a single page. The builds created for you will reflect immediately after they are uploaded to an alternate file hosting website (given the issue with sourceforge.net)

How to become an Elite?
here's how

P.S. Regular User Builds can be found here.

New Release is up - 07th Oct 2023 (Android 10-13)

Changelog:
- Fixed apps that were larger in size failing to survive OTA updates
- A lot of noscript improvements in terms of mounting and logging
- Add easy way to remove addon.d noscripts on dynamic partitions (for those being troubled with gapps when switching roms)
- Generate addon.d noscripts in the order of their installation

Note:
- it is dirty flashable over previous build, recommending everyone to update to this build.
- we're trying very hard to allow dirty flashing without issues, however, I would still suggest backing up everything before flashing to make sure you don't lose anything if things go south.

Hi Everyone,

Sad news!

Looks like, the automated builds have come to halt until further notice.

Apparently, after release, due to long running workflow, Github decided to flag the account as it went on to execute for 9 hours while building user and elite builds.

I will try reaching github support to get some assistance but looking at the history of response on the issues, the chances of this getting resolved are very thin.

In the meantime, if anyone has any bright ideas to circumvent this issue - please feel free to share it - @NikGappsGroup

Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Alright guys,

We have a workaround for automated builds (until Github decides to enable Github Actions again) and it's going to continue (unless Github finds a way to disable that)

All your config builds (User Builds) will be created as it is.

Enjoy!

Note:
