[Q] How do i install Google Play only ?

[Q] How do i install Google Play only ? - HTC One V

Hello guys,
I searched for this information and i could not find any relevant result for this. I use Shpongle by iceb0x and i'd like to be able to install just Google Play on it, but not the complete gapps package, because it contains alot of other things i personally consider bloatware (Google Search, Talk, Text to Speach service).
All the Play .apks i found so far are 5mbish files that only patch it from a version to another granted you have it installed already.
So is this possible ? To have just google play and dont install the other things at all ?

Thanks alot for your reply, bad news though is that it does not work. It's the apk i was talking about, when i try to launch it it closes instantly, and when i go to "accounts' i dont have the option to add a google account.

Maybe you can open gapps zip, take everything apart from play store out and flash it

I will give it a try and let you know if i get any good results
No go with modifing the gapps zip. it gives error on flash

Ok bleach cat

You can always use a root explorer to go into system/apps and manually delete the apps you don't want after flashing.

Try clearing Playstore Data from settings

I use this everytime as I don't like having most of the google apps on my phone.

[Q] How to undo an app update?

i see a lot of people are having trouble with the most recent update of Handcent SMS, myself included. basically what i am wondering is if i can somehow undo this update and rollback to a previous version. the current version is 4.6.1 and the one i would like to go back to is 4.5.
Thanks!

See if you can find that version on Google

You can't undo an app update, however you can uninstall the app, search for it's apk version on Google and install it. But then it won't be linked to the Play Store and you won't receive updates for it. For example, you can find the 4.5 apk here (link is after the overview section). The only reason I'm providing you a link to download is because it's a free app. Links to apks of paid apps must never be provided.

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.

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.

Yes, I'm aware I already have a thread for this. I'm adding Touchwiz support soon, for the Note 2, so this will be the thread where the magic happens.

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!
TW_Aroma_v0.1beta.zip - 279.64MB
MD5: C117EF1DF42F079ADD8829D206CF0E65
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.

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.

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.

I tried it, it support multi-language but there are some apps in Chinese, and no happy for this rom but here is a solution for this problem:
1-google "Google installer for mini v6" you will find the official website describing how to use it.
2-go to the updated Web page "you will find a link" and download the newest Google installer.
3-now install the Google installer and search for Google play store , click install it will prompt you to download the Google service framework and other stuff , install them to your device.
4-when you try to install the Google play it won't let you cuz it's old and been deleted, now Google "Google play service for kitkat" there is a bro on xda made a flashable one "forgot his name sorry".
5- download it,flash it and wipe cache, now you can use every Google app except the store dunno why hope they fix it later.

Check what I posted maybe it will help ya

all apps miui 6 style icons
Here is a zip include all miui 6 icons like play store ..
Just extract it and then go to system_media_theme
And you see a folder with this name (miui_mod_icons)
Delete it and copy my file .reboot your device
After that go and change your theme 1 time and then back to default.
Enjoy.

Mmmm you're using the old google installer its size 1mb of course it won't work, there is a newer one 13 mb and it works fine except the google store, you need it to make a google account and sync your contacts.

Hi
There is an error !
in the Chinese link < this rom : miui_SAMSUNG_I9500_5.5.15_ http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQjdgjg
in the MIUI link <this rom Samsung I9500 4.12.5 （V5） it is an old rom http://en.miui.com/download-105.html
which New؟

The same issue.
No problem flashing Miui v6.
My issues comes when I flash Gapps. I can't sign in with my Google Account. I tried an other Gapps and can sign, but Play Store won't install anything, saying i have not free space... Wrong. Clean install.

i really hate to get back to kitkat .... i hope you have plans to make in based on lollipop in the near future

I have no idea what the Chinese page is saying. Can somebody mirror?

Can someone give mirror?
Thanks

how to uninstall stock apps?

i'd like to get rid of all unnecessary apps and those that i don't use, here's the list:
Code:
[LIST]
[*]carrier services
[*]cloud print
[*]gboard
[*]google app
[*]chrome
[*]google drive
[*]google duo
[*]google photos
[*]goolge play movies & TV
[*]google play music
[*]google talk back
[*]google text to speech
[*]moto
[*]noto actions
[*]motorola FM radio
[*]motorola modality services
[*]wallpapers
[/LIST]
most of these are just IMO unneeded apps that eat battery, data and invade privacy (especially google ones)
so what could i do to get rid of them since there is no option to uninstall them?

You have to root your phone (gain access to system apps), then you can uninstall them.

is there any newbie friendly way to root this phone?

Flash our deodexed roms

I don't think they would know what deodexing is.

so i followed this tutorial,
unlocked bootloader,
rooted the phone,
and i still cannot uninstall those all those unneeded apps, not from settings, not from play store,
how do i uninstall them?

You have to install this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jumobile.manager.systemapp&hl=en_GB
Then you have to grant it root access, then you can finally uninstall them.
I, however, recommend installing a custom rom, which is much faster and has no bloat.
---------- Post added at 05:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:05 PM ----------
Also, if you dislike the "unlocked bootloader" warning every time you boot, you can flash this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0R-ZTJjg7qmdl9LLTlvQlQ5Z1U/view

thanks,
which rom would you recommend?
would it be difficult to install that since i am newbie in such things?
*update:
i managed to install: "[ROM][7.0][STOCK] Debloated and optimized" but im not happy with it since Google's search bar is still there although Google app has been removed.
which ROM would be best for me, looking for something clean, simple and without bloat.
*update 2:
-installed "[7.1.x] LineageOS 14.1 for Moto G5 [cedric][UNOFFICIAL]" with Gapps pico
very happy with it, it is fast, optimized, clean and battery lasts ALOT longer then stock.
how is oreo like on this phone?
is it worth waiting official oreo or should i stay with "LineageOS" since i'm so happy with it?

How do i get google play?

Hey guys, I have an AL00 - Just wondering how i install google play and western apps that ill need?
Really need help. I have already uninstalled a lot of bloat with adb and this is the last stepperooonininie.
Thanks

Hi
You can get it from Huawei app store or if it does not show, use the browser and type google play apk into search, your see it come up in results, download it and install
