Hey everyone, I've always been a huge fan of inverted apps. With 4.2.1 coming out it seems there is a much longer delay in ROMs coming out. There are some inverted gapps packages though and I want to add some to a ROM.
I am currently running (or will be running) Xylon 011 Beta 3. I've tried JustUnBean's gapps package but it causes my phone to get constant FC's. Through some playing around (flashed JustUnBean and then gapps package dated 20121130) I managed to get a working ROM but it added a bunch of stuff I didnt want.
If I was to manually edit the Xylon 11 Beta 3 zip file and manually swap in the .apks of the inverted apps I want would that essentially give me inverted apps or would I be running into just as many issues?
Also does anyone know of a good inverted ROM with 4.2.1 yet? Many suggest to just use an inverted gapps package which is all well and good but one of the primary apps I like to have inverted is the calendar. I am able to flash the old inverted version of calendar in the meantime though.
Anywho just thought I'd ask the question.
Thanks!

justins gapps worked fine for me.. i tried them on pa and xylon, but since 4.2 i have been using this theme instead of inverted gapps.. and if you want you can edit the gapps package yourself, delete apps you dont want and add apps that you want

Yeah turns out I was a little too anxious with JustUnBean's gapps... using the Aroma installer worked perfectly!
I did try editing his gapps package but it almost always ended up in FCs or a phone that wouldnt boot. For some reason I thought that Aroma was another recovery and didnt realize it was an installer app.
I am sitting pretty with the Xylon 011 Beta 3 and all the stuff inverted that I wanted (Calendar is never themed in user themes)
A lot of developers (but not all, of course) have moved on to the latest and greatest Nexus phone. Expect a few key ROMs to either get sporadic updates or fall off the face of the earth. It happens to every phone as it ages, sadly.
I haven't seen much either in the way of inverted apps, so keeping an eye on this.
Hi everybody,
I made a very light & clean modded GApps package for Android 4.2.x, for people who don't like some google crap or with low /system space.
I used many GApps packages I found on XDA to make this one that fits perfectly for me and works with fishears Rom I use.
49MB LaboDJ Normal GApps
22MB LaboDJ Slim GApps
Vs. 123Mb original One
Which base I used?
It contains 20130301 Base mixed to the latest apps I found
Mods:
- Google Play Store 3.10.14 (mods: noupdate norestrictions nosig-aligned, multi dpi, no more ugly smiley icon)
- Google Maps v6.14.1 (mods: full accelerated version, Samsung TTS voice navigation support + world navigation)
- YouTube v4.3.9 (Black Theme, HD Playback, Screen-off Playback)
Removed from GApps:
- PicoTTS
- Face Unlock (+ lib libfilterpack_facedetect.so)
- News & Weather
- Google Talk (+ libs libgtalk_jni.so, libgtalk_stabilize.so)
- Google TalkBack
- Google Sound Search
- Quick Search Box
- Voice Search (+ usr folder)
- TTS Folder (use Google TTS instead)
- Photoshphere (doesn't work with i9000)
Reworked Scripts:
- Removed install-optional.sh
- Added remove-folders.sh (it removes some folder from your system... read below)
- Reworked updater-script to make it work (it also remove many apk from your system... read below)
- Reworked 70-gapps.sh adapting it to the changes
The Package will also remove some apps & folders from your system automatically:
- /system/media/video (sample videos?)
- /system/tts (Use google tts instead, trust me it's better)
- Apollo (use Google play music from market instead)
- Basic Dreams
- Calendar (google calendar is better, already in Gapps)
- CMFileManager (I prefer root explorer from market)
- CMFileManagerThemes
- CMUpdater (If are u using CM ROMs I think it's better CyanDelta Updater from Market)
- DSPManager (I think Voodoo sound is better, from market)
- Exchange2 (Never used it)
- Galaxy 4 (Live wallpaper)
- HoloSpiralWallpaper (Live wallpaper)
- HTMLViewer (Never used it)
- LiveWallpapers (I don't use them)
- LiveWallpapersPicker (See above)
- MagicSmokeWallpapers (Junk)
- NoiseField (Junk)
- PhaseBeam (Junk)
- PhotoTable
- PicoTts
- QuickSearchBox (Trebuchet has already its own bar)
- VideoEditor.apk (Slow & useless)
- /system/lib/libvideoeditorplayer.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_core.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_jni.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_osal.so
- /system/lib/libvideoeditor_videofilters.so
- /system/usr/srec
- /system/vendor/pittpatt
...
SuperSLIM version changes from Normal version:
- 21.7MB
- Updated Scripts to make them work
- Removed apps & replacements:
CalendarGoogle -> Default Calendar from your ROM instead
Gmail2 -> Classic Email from you ROM instead or Gmail .zip attached
GoogleNow -> Download from market if you need it
GoogleTTS -> If you need it there is a .zip attached
Maps -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
StreetView -> Download from market if you need it.
YouTube -> Download from market or flash modded .zip attached if you need it.
- I also made modular packages named with ss_, if you use SuperSlim Version use ss_ packages otherwise something will go wrong (you can use normal GoogleTalk package).
If you use Normal vesion DON'T use ss_ packages!
If you use SuperSlim Version please first reflash your ROM .zip
If you need things such:
live wallpapers, video editor, themes, google news & weather, talk, voice search... I'll make sigle packages to add them, making GApps Modular
FIRST TIME INSTRUCTIONS:
- update your rom if you need to
- install this package
UPGRADING ROM AND WANT TO LEAVE MY GAPPS (and addon) UNTOUCHED?
- update your rom
- install Remove_Junk.zip
IF YOU NEED APPS I REMOVED
- I attached some of them at the end of the post
- flash them in recovery
- if you need to remove .zip you added manually just flash Remove_Added.zip
EG: you flash my Gapps, you flash Google_Talk.zip, you want to remove Gtalk? Just Flash Remove_Added.zip, it will remove only my "modular" package you added
IF YOU WANT TO GO BACK TO NORMAL GAPPS
- Update your ROM (or install the same zip you have)
- install classic GApps
- clear cache & Dalvik cache
Some Apps are modded so if you update them you'll lose mods
EG: Don't update Google Maps if you don't want to lose the mods.
:good:New MODULAR Installer OUT! It contains all default apps!
It installs GApps core files automatically, then you can choose which apps to ADD and which to REMOVE.
VERY EASY!
Modular GApps Thread HERE:good:
I don't take any responsibility for improper use, or for damage, I'm currently using them on Galaxy S i9000 powered by Fishears ROM.
I tested them on CM10.1 and work well.
It should works on every device with android 4.2.x
Anyway Use @ your own risk.
Downloads:

V2.1 HERE

Yes, it should work, anyway there are some problems:
If you flash these you'll lose DSPManager (audio driver from cyanogenmod team)
I replaced it with Voodoo sound (that works good with i9000)
If you don't use dspmanager so you shouldn't have any problem.
If you are on stock rom and you haven't a .zip containing your actual rom it wold be boring replace all system apps to revert back to "normal" state.
(Maybe a simply nandroid backup of /system folder only should do the trick, I'm pretty sure)
Nothing else.
Try and let me know!

Ok, I will do it, I don't use it, so I'm going to make another .zip with Talk and its libraries.
Ready for tomorrow!
Others?

I agree with nearly all of your decisions.
Not removing E-Mail and theme chooser would be nice.
Think i can modify the script myself, will have a look.
But i think it's easier to provide addon packages for people wanting stuff like gtalk...

Yep, I agree with you, but I currently don't know how to make a .zip for only an app.
The only problem is that I have to insert a line in system/addon.d/70-gapps.sh with the path of apk and libs.
This is the file that backup and restore your gapps when you upgrade a rom.
If you can help me this way, making modular zip, we can call these first modular gapps.
EDIT: Idea!
I don't know if I add all possible GApps in 70-gapps.sh it would return error when upgrading rom or not... If not I'll make a new .zip with full 70-gapps, and many little .zip for single apps.
Re: [GApps] Modded by LaboDJ
So a restructured gapps is dev related these days?
You even spammed this in cm10.1 thread. Nice going. That'll earn you respect lol

I think these GApps are very useful. Especially with an old smartphone like Galaxy S.
Many apks I removed eat a lot of resources/space/batteries.
And many users haven't time/knowledge to make this mods.
Think before you write, if I did this is not for the glory but to help so many people who simply have my own needs
Maybe wrong section, yes... but keep calm, I didn't killed anyone

Done...see first post.
Now there will be 2 .zip one with Gtalk and one without it.
When I have time I'll test the other method (modular GAPPS)

I agree - I'd like the theme chooser back. Is there any easy way like installing via playstore? But this is really great! I love it to 99%.
