2021-08-15 07:42:10 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

Please don't ask for ETA!

2021-07-12 22:25:02 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.
@munchy_cool made a tutorial video to show exactly how to create a custom gapps build for you from scratch till end.





Kudos to him for such a detailed video, it cannot get any simpler! This should answer all the questions you may have with the process. Open / Comment

2021-07-10 00:49:04 Hi Everyone,

A big announcement!

Recently we announced the ability to create your own customized NikGapps builds

Well, now we've moved on to the next level to speed things up for you, reducing the turnaround time of merging your pull requests.

Now, you can get your customized builds in less than 30 mins of sending a pull request!

We've worked on setting up an ecosystem where your pull request will be validated against the standards in less than 30 mins of your pull request, building the custom builds right away. The config files which are invalid/unacceptable as per the standards, will be handled manually for obvious reasons.

In the best case scenario, you will get your builds in 10-15 mins of raising a pull request!

This was a manual process until now where we used to validate and merge the pull request and wait for nightly cycle to build custom gapps. No more!

So what are you waiting for? Head over to config repository and start building your own gapps.

Let us know if this helps!

P.S. Custom build implementation is moving from beta to stable :) Open / Comment

2021-07-03 07:16:25 New Stable Release is up! (Q/R) (3rd July 2021)

Changelog:
- Fix unzip command failing to recognize '-p' arg and eventually failing the installation on some devices (thanks to @glx33807 and @OneWayGamer)
- Allow dirty flashing Gboard/Clock upon dirty flashing Rom
- Script Optimization (comparatively faster installation)!
- Rename NikGapps log name to reflect device and file name
- Abort the installation when system available size is 0

Note:
- Dirty flash over 27th or newer build will be fine, Clean flash recommended if you're on older build.
- Update only if you are facing issues with previous builds

ToDo:
- Update YouTube Vanced addon
- Fix Flipendo crash on some devices
