[Unofficial] Lean GApps for PA - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Notice: By flashing these GApps, you hereby revoke your right to complain in the Paranoid Android thread about bugs!
What I mean by this is: Don't go bothering Moles or any of the PA team about some sort of app/rom functionality being broken because you flashed this GApps package which deleted an app that you needed or caused ROM to crash.
This package goes against PA philosophy of remaining Stock google. Read This WHOLE POST FIRST!!
Warning: This package deletes apps that might be important to certain users! For example: maps, exchange services, live wall papers, etc. Read the list below for more details.
FAQ in second post
Section 1.
Ok, so the purpose of this post is to share a GApps that I put together for myself. Please READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION BEFORE even considering flashing this.
What this GApps package does:
1. It flashes the bare minimum (what I consider bare minimum) of system apps to keep the ROM functioning as I like it.
2. The update script is modified to delete other apps that are included in the PA ROM package that I do not use. (notice I said "I", as in myself)
Do not Flash if you meet any of these descriptions:
1. You do not want a lean rom
2. You don't agree with leaning out roms
3. This offends you somehow
4. You are unsure about what you are doing
5. If you have never opened a zip package and looked at its contents or read an updater_script
Section 2.
These are the list of apps are NOT INCLUDED in this package that you would normally get from PA FULL GApps at goo.im:
Books.apk <--- google books
Currents.apk
GenieWidget.apk <--- Google weather widget
GoogleEars.apk <---- identifies songs by listening to them. I use soundhound, so I don't use google ears.
GoogleEarth.apk
Magazines.apk <---- Google magazines
PlusOne.apk <--- Google+ social network
Thinkfree.apk <-- stock office app
Videos.apk ,<--- google movies
ChromeBookmarksSyncAdapter.apk
Maps.apk <--- you can download from market or just restore with titanium. OR insert it into the lean gapps package yourself
Street.apk
Like I said above, this GApps package goes a step further and deletes certain apps from the /system/app/.
Here is a section of the script that deletes apps so you can and MUST REVIEW BEFORE flashing:
delete("/system/app/HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk","/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk");
delete("/system/app/MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk","/system/app/OpenWnn.apk");
delete("/system/app/ParanoidWallpapers.apk","/system/app/PhaseBeam.apk","/system/app/VisualizationWallpapers.apk");
delete("/system/app/Thinkfree.apk","/system/app/Galaxy4.apk","/system/app/PinyinIME.apk","/system/app/Exchange2.apk");
delete("/system/app/Books.apk","/system/app/Currents.apk","/system/app/Magazines.apk","/system/app/Videos.apk");
delete("/system/app/GenieWidget.apk","/system/app/GoogleEarth.apk","/system/app/GoogleEars.apk");
If there is an app missing that you must have, then you can fix it. Pull the app from the ROM package or FULL PA GApps package and insert it into the Lean GApps package in system/app/. (I shouldn't have to explain how to do this if you're planning on flashing this GApps, but whatever.) Or if the script deletes an app that you don't want deleted, then just erase that part from the script.
If you don't know how to do this, then Google it or find one of many helpful tutorials here on the wonderful XDA forums!
Section3 .
Please refrain from asking the same questions over and over. Read this whole post!
Read the entire updater_script! It's a good practice to get into for flashing any zip.
I am NOT taking requests. If you want something added or taken away, then do the work yourself please. It takes only 5 minutes. I will try to fix any bugs and update whenever I get the time.

FAQ below...
Links:
Lean-PA-GApps: Lean-PA-Gapps.zip - 119.57 MB Updated 2013-03-08 MD5: 2837b04e29ad769759ec29a94801f711
Coming soon: Power user Lean GApps. (secure settings, titanium, tasker, greenify, etc.) <-- all lite versions of the apps (support devs by purchasing pro keys)

FAQ:
1. Why have you removed Maps, wallpapers, (insert app here) ?
Because as I explained in the first post, I do not use those apps. I do however use Google maps, but I just restore it from my titanium backup when I need it and then uninstall. I hate how maps runs in the background. Just my preference. If you want maps, just download from the market or put the apk in the zip.
2. Can you please add/delete an app to the package?
No. I already posted in the first post that I would not. If the package doesn't suit you, then customize it yourself
3. Does this package break anything?
As far as I can tell from my own testing, it does not break anything that I use. Keep in mind, there is no Exchange service app, so if you need that for work or whatever, then restore from your titanium backup or add it to the zip.
4. Will this Gapps package work for another ROM besides Paranoid Android?
It should, I don't see why it wouldn't. Unless your ROM requires one of the apps in a typical full GApps package. If in doubt, do your own research. Don't blame me if it messes something up.

Nice and lean man. I've been meaning to do something like this for myself but the PC is down and its not so fun unzipping and rezipping from Root explorer.

Is it not just easier to freeze/defrost apps you don't use but may want occasionally?

I never use the apps I delete. Freezing is just a bandaid fix to me. Of the apps I do use occasionally, like maps, I converted to a user app and have greenify hibernate it.

TO HAVE A CLEAN ROM = JUST FLASH THE ZIP
TO USE YOUR OWN LIST PUT ROMCleaner_user.txt ON YOUR SDCARD IN
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Quick Start Guide
Ok, this is a quick start guide for those user who just want to flash and go.
The cleaner uses one of two text files located in the ROMCleaner folder on your SD card.
ROMCleaner.txt - This is the default cleaner list that the script will read from. This list will be placed on your card on the first run of the cleaner. It will be overwritten each time the cleaner is run to ensure the latest updates are applied.
Or
ROMCleaner_user.txt - This is your custom cleaner list. You can create this file at any time and the cleaner will automatically read from it.
File Locations:
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner.txt <--- This is the default list and will be created automatically
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_user.txt <--- This is your personal list which you create.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Summary
In short, all you have to do is add text to a file and put apks into a folder.
Yes yes that simple.
You can even edit the text files and copy apks using just your device.
While we still recommend you use http://notepad-plus-plus.org/ to edit your list on a PC to maintain the UNIX encoding the cleaner will also double check and convert the file if it finds it has been converted to a windows format.

ITS A COMPLETE REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE ENTIRE TOOLSET WE DO RECOMMEND YOU HAVE A LOOK AT IT

Simple Breakdown
Folder Creator - Creates all nesercery folders automatically for you on SDCard
ROMCleaner - Will clean your rom using either default list or user list
Backup Tool - Will backup Apps and settings* to SD for you

Setup Wizard Remover - Removes setup wizards
Mods & App Installer - Installs using the SecondBoot folders
Click to expand...

Folder Creator​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
We have created this small flashable zip to aid you in getting the cleaners directory structure setup.
It should only need to be run once before using but can be run at any time to completely recreate the structure. Any files or folders in place will not be harmed if flashing again.
The script contains a small reboot to workround a very small bug in some recoveries. This bug will not update the sdcards file view to show new folders.
This is to help us avoid the obligatory "I flashed the zip but it didnt create the folders" posts.
ROMCleaner
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On flashing, the RC zip will do the following things:
Install our script and related files to /tmp
Check if the folder is present on the SD card, if not then it will create it.
Install the default cleaner list (ROMCleaner.txt) overwriting any older versions.
Check to see if a custom list is present (ROMCleaner_user.txt).
If it is then it will check for Windows encoding and convert to UNIX if needed.
If it is not then it will use the default.
Proceed to read the list and delete all the files and folders.
Copy any backuped up apps back to /data/app
Create Logs on the SD Card.
Note that the time it takes for the apps to be copied will vary dependent on the number of apps you have installed/are installing as will the first boot of the rom as most roms these days will automatically zipalign the data partition. On 200+ apps it takes under a minute to install and adds roughly 4-6mins to your boot time.
Due to the naming convention of apks when updated (they are appended with -1, -2 etc) please ensure you check for duplicates to avoid doubling up and wasting space. We will leave the organisation of your apps in this folder to you
Backup Tool
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now to save time and bandwidth when installing a rom it is possible to have your apps 'pre-installed' before first boot.
On flashing, the zip will copy all apks located in
Code:
data/app
to
Code:
sdcard/ROMCleaner/FirstBoot/data/app
as well as several system files to your SD card in preperation for your new rom.
When the ROMCleaner is run it will copy these apks back to data/app for you before booting the rom.
We are slowly adding support for apps that are provided by the rom devs to make sure that these apps are not copied across to ensure you will always receive the uptodate version included with your rom.
If you feel support for your rom should be included as default please contact us in the thread.
When flashed this zip will do the following:
Install our script and related files to /tmp
Check if the folder is present on the SD card, if not then it will create it.
Backup Accounts, Bluetooth pairings, Mail accounts (including Inbox) and WiFi APs keys
Copy all Apps (not app data) found in /data/app/
Create Logs on the SD Card.
Accounts, BT, Mail accounts and Wifi can only be restored using the Settings Restorer.
Settings Restorer
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This script will attempt to restore any files backed up by the backup tool.
These settings are stored by the Android system and are usually lost when flashing a rom. This can be annoying if you have a lot of wifi passwords stored or a few BT pairings which you dont want to lose.
It is important to note that in the majority of cases these settings will be correctly applied but sometimes for an unknown reason they dont and may cause errors. We are still trying to track these down. If you do encounter them PLEASE post in the thread so we can gather some information from you to aid in this process.
This tool also has limitations when it comes to moving rom base. Please do not attempt to restore these settings as it will more than likely cause errors.
HTCSetupRemover
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The setup remover is a small additional zip that will remove the setup wizards which run at first boot.
Once these wizards have been run they become absolutely useless and as such can be removed safely.
Unfortunately they are tied into several aspects of the system and removing them before the roms first boot can cause some weird errors and FC's
Creating Your Own List​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
While the default list should be enough for most users, we have included the ability to define your own custom list for the cleaner to remove.
Creating your own list is as simple as adding files to a text file! This can be done a variety of ways, from an editor on your PC or via an editor on your Phone!
The easiest way to start your own list is to use the one attached to the first post.
Run the folder creator or create the following structure on you sdcard
Code:
/sdcard/ROMCleaner/ROMCleaner_user.txt
As long as this file is present, the cleaner will read from it instead of the default ROMCleaner.txt.
To add to it all you have to do is add the apk file or folder you would like removed during cleaning.
Single apk files should just be listed while folders should be encased in quotes (" ")
Any item with a # in front of it will be ignored by the cleaner.
The cleaner will check BOTH the /system and /data partitions for any apk file named in the list and remove it if it finds it
Examples:
To add files:
Code:
UselessApp.apk
Simple as that
To add folders:
Code:
"/system/app/UselessFolder"
Ignored example:
Here, both the empty folder and UselessApp2 will be deleted while UselessApp1 will be ignored.
Code:
"/system/app/EmptyFolder"
#UselessApp1.apk
UselessApp2.apk
We have also included the ability to batch delete a certain filetype by using the following syntax -
Code:
"/path/to/folder/*.fileextension"
Heres an example from the default list to remove all .png images from the resources folder:
Code:
"/system/customize/resource/*.png"
Examples Of Usage
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Heres a couple of example flashing procedures for the most common ways of flashing a rom and using the ROMCleaner toolset.
Before doing anything you should first flash the folder creator zip to create the folder structure for you.
Flash'n'Go - Full Wipe - Clean System
So this is your typical flashing procedure for a ROM starting with a full wipe, clean system, and no apps or settings backed up.
SuperWipe
Flash ROM
Flash ROM Cleaner
First Boot
Setup Phone
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Use Phone as Normal
ROM Upgrade
Obviously using the 'upgrade' method to install a rom will replace any files you have removed with the cleaner the first time round.
You can use the cleaner again straight after flashing a rom upgrade.
Be warned, using the upgrade method and cleaner will no doubt leave artifacts and residue from the previous install.
This is not our fault. This is the design by Android. Please do not complain to us, we hate it too.
This would be your ideal flashing method when using the cleaner on a rom upgrade.
Flash ROM
Flash ROMCleaner
Boot
Setup Phone
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Use Phone as Normal
Patric, craack and I do not officially endorse the use of rom upgrades and as such will not be hold accountable for any problems that arise from them.
With the use of this cleaner script and the backup/install apps option alongside other data backup tools such as Titanium backup (Data only) should negate the need to use the upgrade method.
Full Backup & Restore
This is the daddy. A full on backup of Apps, Accounts, Bluetooth pairings, Mail accounts (including Inbox) and WiFi APs keys, wipe and reinstall of a cleaned rom.
This is usefull when you have been playing around too much and fooked somethig up but dont have a nandroid or just want the feeling of a freshly installed rom but dont want to lose some settings.
Flash Backup Tool
SuperWipe (Format /system, /data, /cache, /dalvik-cache)
Flash Rom
Flash ROM Cleaner which will also install Apps
First Boot
Setup Phone (Sign in at Google and sync all your data)
Flash Setup Wizard Remover
Flash Mods & App Installer (If you have added Apps, mods etc to ../SecondBoot folder)
Flash Settings Restorer
Use Phone
ROMCleaner Logs & Support
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To make troubleshooting easier for us we have included a logging feature into the toolset to aid in trouble shooting.
Each script will create its own set of logs which will be stored in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs
If you should run into problems, please attach these logs to your post in the thread to aid us in solving your issue.
If you don't help us with the logs we will for sure not be able to help you.
Mods & App Installer
!!! WARNING - ADVANCED USERS ONLY !!!​
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This tool has so far been successful in our tests and has been taken out of the experimental phase. Please note though the majority of mods we have tried have worked perfectly but some have caused bolops and black screens, usually heavy system apks such as framework-res and com.htc.resources.
For that reason it is for those users that know how to handle mod zips and understand the structure within them and can easily revert any changes made.
This script functions in a simialr way to the backup and installation of apps except it is used for mods which need to be flashed after the phone has had its first boot.
Such mods ,if flashed before the system has booted, have been know to cause errors such as bolops and black screens.
It was built to try and cut down on the recovery navigation of having to select each zip in turn. With this installer you will only need to flash one zip to have all your mods installed at once. It also allows you have finer control over the mods as you are dealing with normal folders and files rather than zips.
To Use
If you have flashed the folder creator you will find a folder within the sdcard/ROMCleaner folder on your SD called SecondBoot which in itself contains common system folders where mods are flashed to.
Take your mod zip, extract and place the files into these folders according to the structure in the zip.
Upon flashing the installer these files will be placed in the correct places and also have the correct permissions set to them.

[HUMUR]
Patrics83 spent many months cursing HTCs decision to fill his precious device with crap he didnt want with no way to remove it. After hundreds of letters, emails and even stalking the CEO with no response he finally decided enough is enough and ROMCleaner was born. He spends his time plotting revenge against Sense roms and their bloat in the hope that one day, his message to HTC will get through.
Dude360 one day stumbled across a small post regarding removing crap from his lovely rom. Patric offered him a small taste of how clean a rom could be but it wasnt enough. Dude360 wanted more. He wanted it all, a Sense rom with the size and speed of a AOSP rom. It soon took him over, he began creating monsterous abomaonations which no man should ever flash. Patric decided Dude360 needed a mentor, someone to calm his addiction to cleaning and proceeded to teach him the zen of ROMCleaner.
craack was just a innocent young man when he was abducted by Patric and Dude. They forced days and days of flashing and reflashing roms to get the cleaner working the way they wanted. He tried to resist but the cleaner was too strong and he finally gave in and become one of them. craack now wonders the realm of XDA searching out roms and the unneeded crap they come with to try to fulfill his goal of creating the ULTIMATE CLEANER LIST!

Hey, glad you finally made it to GNex . Used your tool on Sensation already.
Just tried it on my Nexus, works like a charm.

Update!
Backup Tool v1.1 - 2012-02-08
-Added a command to remove encrypted apps from backup dir. Encrypted apps can't be installed like normal apk's
Enjoy
Hey guys!
I noticed in my download stats that many of you download Settings Restorer, but then I saw that there was very little downloads at Backup Tool
This is weird, because both scripts are needed, otherwise it won't work..
Maybe the guide is unclear? Please feel free to give us input in this matter.
Backup Tool does the following:
Back's up your Apps
Wifi keys
BT devices
Mail settings
Accounts
When flashing ROM Cleaner, Backed up Apps will be restored (this saves you loads of time after fresh install) and System Apps deleted if you wish.
Settings Restorer is restoring the following:
Wifi keys
BT devices
Mail settings
Accounts

I see we still have a few downloads but not even close to the other threads...
I know there not much to remove from your devices but still there is a great way to backup / install apps etc. And I'm sure you want to remove at least 1-2 apps
Please let us know if we need to improve something...

Acer Question?
hi is this "[SCRIPT] ROM Cleaner v1.1 | Remove Bloatware" useful on my Acer a500 running any of these:
------------------------------------------------------------------
civato-FLEXREAPER-R6-GOLD-EDITION-b2b ~379 MB
FLEXREAPER-R5-AR-HW ~370 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_12 ~453 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_Stripped_ZZ ~233 MB
Lightspeed_4.1 ~239 MB
------------------------------------------------------------------
basically ICS has alot of apk's i think i could get rid of.
theirs are from 233 MB to 453 MB or more.
Mine cleaned up is around 159 MB (un-flashed) not tested.
im guessing around 75 MB extra free?
even putting in a few small apk's like (juice defender - droid wall - Root Explorer - TitaniumBackup)
From what ive read TitaniumBackup is uneeded?

civato-FLEXREAPER-R6-GOLD-EDITION-b2b ~379 MB
FLEXREAPER-R5-AR-HW ~370 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_12 ~453 MB
KJY_2010_Icylicious_REV_Stripped_ZZ ~233 MB
Lightspeed_4.1 ~239 MB
------------------------------------------------------------------
basically ICS has alot of apk's i think i could get rid of.
theirs are from 233 MB to 453 MB or more.
Mine cleaned up is around 159 MB (un-flashed) not tested.
im guessing around 75 MB extra free?
even putting in a few small apk's like (juice defender - droid wall - Root Explorer - TitaniumBackup)
From what ive read TitaniumBackup is uneeded?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have done some research and it seems like the script's should work.
Best thing you could do is to make a nandroid and then follow the instructions in 2nd post.
When you are done, please send me all logs located in /sdcard/ROMCleaner/Logs/
Good luck!
Happy birthday Patrics !!! ​

[APP]Google Play Only GApps, mainly for CM7/CM10

So yeah, like stated in the title, I made two updaterscripts to get the Market (Google Play 3.8.17 and its apk requirements, but no other GApps) for pretty much any Gingerbread/Jelly Bean based ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32335631#post32335631
I'm currently using the gb package on a 2.26.401.3 debloated stock rom and I've also stated what files you need if you just want to delete the unwanted stuff from the CM-GApps packages yourself.
Also, the updaterscripts do not delete all the gapp apks prior to pushing the new ones to system/app, so remember to clean up according to the filelist - applying on any cm install without gapps should work fine, cause thats what those zips are actually meant for
If you find this useful, drop me a line and/or repost it on other not-so-high-end device forums

Click the image for a larger preview.​
Welcome to the wonderful world of inverted applications. If this is your first time here, I’d invite you to sit back, and please read the first three posts all the way through. Failure to do this will result in you not being helped if you have any problems. Please understand that it takes a lot of time to create these inverts, let alone package them up for you guys, so the very least you could do is read three simple posts and do a search in the thread to see if your question has already been answered. Now, let’s get on with the show.
The following apps have been inverted and provided to you guys free of charge. Please do yourselves a favor and read the instructions and FAQ before you use this.

Requirements:
Read the FAQ in post #2 to check for solutions to known issues.
AOSP ROMs require Jellybean 4.2.x for full Gapps package.
Touchwiz ROMs require Jellybean 4.1/4.2 for the Aroma installer.
Note that while other versions may indeed work with modifications, only those with 4.2.x on AOSP and 4.1/4.2 on TouchWiz will receive support here.
Some of these zips only support AOSP-based ROMs, such as Cyanogenmod, AOKP, and so on.
Touchwiz ROMs should use the Touchwiz Aroma installer, not the main Aroma installer.
Sense is not currently supported.
You must have a rooted device.
CWM, TWRP, 4EXT, or other custom recovery installed.
Note that not all recoveries are supported, but the zips should be fairly universal.
A minimum of 225MB of free system space for the FullFlash, and 115MB for the QuickFlash.
Touchwiz Aroma requires 125MB of free system space.
NOTE that if you aren't sure of your free system space, you can simply open up Titanium Backup, and it will tell you at the bottom of the home screen.
DeOdexed ROMs ONLY are supported for AOSP ROMs.
Touchwiz Aroma supports Odexed and Deodexed ROMs.
Note that most all stock ROMs are odexed. If you aren’t sure about a custom ROM, ask your chef.
A full wipe is required before installing these zips. If you don't, then do not ask for support. Make a full backup before flashing in case something goes wrong.
Explanation:
Aroma zip is the mack daddy of all zips. It contains everything, but it is packaged into an interface that allows you to pick and choose which apps or gapps you want to install, all from your recovery.
Full Flash zip is a full and complete inverted Gapps package for your JB 4.2+ ROM. Just flash your ROM.zip and then this one. No need to flash any other Gapps packages at all.
Quick Flash zip is a simple zip that installs all the inverted apps by Team Blackout into their proper places. This should be flashed after your normal Gapps package for JB 4.2+. Stock apps other than Email are not included in this zip.​
Instructions:
Download the zip you want based on what you want installed.
Boot into recovery.
Make a backup before doing anything in case something goes wrong.
Full wipe your device.
Flash ROM.zip
Flash inverted.zip (gapps first if using quickflash on AOSP)
Reboot.
Do not restore data from non-inverted apps.
Downloads:
Do NOT hotlink/direct link to my zips. If you want to share this work with someone else, then please direct them to this thread. I just want new comers to know where to go for help or to say whether something is or is not working. I prefer that the work not be spread out all over the place. Keeping in line with XDA's new sharing policy, it is for those reasons, that I do not allow anyone else to reshare my work. If you have any questions or concerns about that, please post in this thread, and I'll PM you about it.
CLEAN WIPE IS ALWAYS REQUIRED!​
Downloads can be found on www.inverts.cajunflavoredbob.com/. Don’t worry, there’s no signup, ads, or any other nonsense. It’s just an easier way for me to track downloads. MD5 sums and file sizes are listed next to each download to verify file integrity.​
Problems:
If you have any problems, read the FAQ. If your question is not answered there either, search the thread. If it is still not answered, then post your question using as many details as possible. The more we know about your problem, the better we can help you.
Always feel free to join me in #midnightgapps in IRC. If you aren't sure how to join, just click here. I'm normally logged in, but not always around, so feel free to leave me a message if you want.​
Credits:
Credit for this work goes to everyone listed below for their beautiful and talented work. This is an incredible project, which required a lot of hard work and long nights, so please find their work in the respective threads and thank them personally. I invite everyone to head out and give them a thanks if you enjoy this package. This was put together with permission from all of them.

Want to help out?
If you guys really want to help out with this project, you could help get me more online storage. Copy.com will start you off with 20GB of storage (normally 15GB) when you sign up with my referral link. I receive an extra 5GB of storage for every referral I get as well, so we both win and it's FREE!!! So since This project takes up a ton of space, I'd really appreciate it if you guys would spend five minutes on this and help me out. The more storage I get, the more I can sync between machines to work on this on the go.
https://copy.com?r=glOhQA
After signing up, you can install the desktop app for Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux, or the Android App or iOS App. This is how we both get our extra 5GB of space.​
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why didn't MMS/People app invert? Why does People app force close? Why did my dialer disappear?​Not all ROMs are compatible with the MMS and People apps. If you experience any of those issues, please DO NOT use the Full Flash zip. To fix it, just push the contacts.apk file from your ROM.zip to /system/app, then set permissions to -rw-r--r-- and reboot.​
2. Why does Google Keep have a white background for new notes?​If you have a white Quick Note background, just touch into the field, and type a letter. The color pallet will appear on the top right corner of the field. Simply touch it, and select black or whichever color you want to be default. The white will then be gone. Here's a screenshot, if you're confused.​
3. Does the inverted Play Store here support multi-DPI?​In the Aroma installer, you have the option to install the Inverted Multi-DPI Play Store separately from the regular inverted Play Store. The Multi-DPI one is deselected by default. If you happen to select both of them, the multi-DPI one will overwrite the regular one. The FullFlash and QuickFlash zips do not have the multi-DPI store at this time.​
4. Craigslist doesn't show my city.​I've been able to find my city by changing my country to Africa, then scrolling down the list. Team Blackout is working on a fix for this.​
5. Tango doesn't install properly on my Touchwiz ROM or gives me a message "ERROR 62" before it force closes.​Open up your file explorer, and navigate to /data/app. Tap on Tango.apk to install it directly. This should fix things for you.​
6. Google Plus has some non-inverted parts in the settings menu.​If you come across this, re-run Aroma, and select the option to fix Google Plus. That should take care of things for you.​
7. The Mighty Text app is all squished together, or looks strange.​This is an app designed for tablets only. If you don't have a tablet, please skip this one. It is de-selected in Aroma be default for this reason.​
8. Slacker is transparent instead of blacked out.​To make it inverted, there is a night mode checkbox in the settings menu. Check it and enjoy.​
9. Email doesn't show up in my app drawer.​If it doesn't show up, try renaming it to Email2.apk and reboot. If that still doesn't fix it, don't use it. It isn't compatible with every ROM.​
10. YouTube Downloader is not shown in my app drawer/YouTube icon is still red.​If you don't see OG YouTube Downloader in your app drawer, and the YouTube app icon is red instead of blue, it is not compatible and will not work. You don't need to do anything in this case. It works fine on most ROMs, and remains inactive on others. Delete it if you want, but it should not cause trouble if you leave it alone.​
11. Why isn't Google Calendar showing up in my app drawer?​The Google Calendar from the Play Store and is a signed application. Uninstall the Market version, and either delete or rename the system/app Calendar.apk to Calendar.apk.bak (or just delete it). Reboot and enjoy.​
12. I need immediate help! None of these things solved my problem!​You can usually find me on #midnightgapps on IRC. If you aren't familiar with IRC, just click here, enter the chat, then leave me a message. If I don't answer right away, leave me a message and I'll respond when I can, or respond in the thread when I am available again.​
13. I have an issue not listed here.​If you need to ask for assistance, please post the following things even if you feel that they aren't related to your issue.

Everyone who downloads it will be my test subjects.
I'll try to finish it up after church.
OK here it is. This version should worked correctly, but as I don't use Touchwiz, I can't be 100% certain.
This version has none of the stock Android apps included, such as calendar and contacts. Those do not work on Touchwiz, so please don't ask. All other Google and Extra apps are included.
Possible issues:
The Dropbox included in this package will probably disable the integration with the Samsung framework, so it will not likely allow syncing from your Samsung account. The app itself should work just fine, though.
I'm not sure if Google Music is going to work or not. Please let me know.
Google Maps may or may not work with Touchwiz as a system app. Please let me know.
I have no idea if Chrome and Google Now will work correctly or not.
This should work for the Stock 4.1.2 ROM odexed or deodexed, as well as 4.2 custom Touchwiz ROMs. Make a full backup before you flash this, so you can restore if something breaks.
Flashing instructions:
Boot into recovery and make a full backup, then reboot.
Uninstall any apps that you wish to use from this package from your phone before you flash.
Clear data and uninstall any updates to system apps that might conflict with this package.
Boot back into recovery and install this package.
If something does not install, or it gives you some sort of trouble, please report the issue here. Be as specific as possible.
MAKE A FULL BACKUP BEFORE FLASHING!

How to report an issue:
List the following things in your post.
Android version
Recovery version
Link me to your ROM
Be as descriptive as possible on what the issue is. Remember that you might need to explain it moreso than normal, since I have not used Touchwiz in a long time. I'm working from memory here on most things, so help me to help you.
Can't wait to give the tW version a spin. Props for all your work on these projects. I'll report any issues I have with the apps I use.

Link me to your ROM
Be as descriptive as possible on what the issue is. Remember that you might need to explain it moreso than normal, since I have not used Touchwiz in a long time. I'm working from memory here on most things, so help me to help you.

Hey cajun thanks for the tw beta man I'm really liking this cause now I don't have to be installing these inverts individually. Lol
Now straight to work.
My current setup
a) Samsung Galaxy S3
b) Android 4.1.2 "Jellybean"
c) CWM 6.0.3.1
d) Hyperdrive Rls14 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36897687
I followed ur instructions on how to install this down to the last word and the following problems arose:
1) Dropbox and Tango both installed both are force closing as soon as you try to open them.
2)I selected Tunein through the aroma installer and it didn't install.
Now I didn't see any errors while running the installer which is a good thing.
I will see if I can find a solution for the problems I mentioned and update you with what I get.
Update:After trying to fix the above problems by wiping data and cache for Dropbox and Tango I realized that Tunein showed up in my /data/app folder just that it didn't install completely. So I ran the installer again without uninstall the 3 apps and just selecting Dropbox, Tango and Tunein. Now Dropbox didn't install completely, Tango doesn't work again and gives me Error 62; and Tunein installed fine this time.
Update 2:After many attempts to get Dropbox and Tango to work they never did. So I extract those 2 apps and installed them manually and they worked.

That is the last try through aroma installer. Decided to save that log and forward to you to have a look at it.

Did you uninstall any conflicting apps and delete app data for them before installing this?
I'll download your ROM and look to see if something is conflicting with this aroma package to be sure.
Dropbox is the one I'm not surprised by the trouble. Tango shouldn't give any issues, but I'll check it out. TuneIn is a script error, and should be fixed in the next update.

Yes I doubled checked everything before running the installer to make sure we got the best results possible.

Ok. Well, I'll check out the ROM.zip as soon as it's finished.
Check in /data/app and see if TuneIn.apk is in there. It may just not be showing up in your app drawer.

The log shows a successful installation. The script for those two apps may need to be tweaked since most Touchwiz ROMs have dropbox included. Tango has me completely stumped, though. It should be working flawlessly.
Although it should not matter, the only thing I can think of that would be preventing then from showing up would be the recovery. TWRP is what I do all my testing on, and is what my scripting is based on. CWM should handle all the scripting just fine, though, so I really don't know.

You have kanged Jamison904 and Mr. Impossible's Alpha rom, the Omega rom, and also copy and pasted my OP. Also the way you did the rom will give the users a hardbrick! The mods need to definitely close this thread and all of your other threads.
Np as all of u wish I don't mind just was a a think I could do and show to the ppl they can do it on their on with just a few programs u can change it

This is true, with great dedication you can create your own rom...kanged or not if you want to develop you have to make sure the rom you ask people to flash and test...does not harm their phone. Number one rule of posting a rom: Make sure it does not break the users phone.
Is true what u wrote I have i9505 and I'm using what I posted with few improved things like sound kernel and appd

@Laurentiu27 Please review the rules of XDA. Specifically this.
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

How to make RRO on Android Studio

modify GAPPS for M STOCK PIT

i force the script to install this gapps pack on my last tries on CM13 based ROM.
if you want to flash this, before , make sure you have enough space on system.
i saw that LatinIME apk and some other didnt disturb the roms when their are pushed on DATA/APP , at root of folder without their subfloder in system/app or system/priv-app, except for latinIME which you have to let in place the subfolder with libs on system/app/latinIME/lib....
sometimes, depends of M ROMs i tryied, i can have 110Mo free on system, and original open gapps said not enough space on system and stop, with my gapps modify, i can force install and use gapps minimal !
to force install of gapps, i change the end of space.sh script and reload in ZIP.
its known that i dont want to repit my system so i found some ways or research to use gapps again without repit.
the uploaded gapps modify :
gapps-6.0.x-20150112-minimal-edition-signed-space.shSCRIPTforceTO10.zip - 38.72 MB
thanks.
Hello i have flashed this gapps thank you. But i have problems with Google play services and now i have only 4 kb in my system space. It's possible not everything installed in my system. Excuse me for my poor english

Yes, surely you have. The thing is, even with apks broken during flash, the ROM boot . you need more space on system before flash. Count space free > 100mo on system partition.
Thank you for response what i making for to having more space.
Inbox, Google Maps and others show me the message Update Google Play services to work, This zip is 7.8.99 yet? if I update manually Google Play Services crash
