[Q] Google Addons

What exactly is Google Addons?

The market
Sent from my Vision using XDA Premium App

The Google Apps? You need them so you're apps function correctly, gmail, market, ect. Needed to be flashed up your first installation of a gingerbread rom. If you mean when you first boot up your phone, just extra apps you can install if you want.

The Google Apps addon is a flashable ZIP which contains the files for the Android Market, Google Talk, Google Sync, and other back-end files and libraries needed for Google applications from the Market, like those that allow for C2DM (push notifications).
They aren't included in CyanogenMod and other similar ROMs due to Google throwing a hissy fit back in CM4, saying that CM could be used to port those applications to devices which don't come with Google Apps, despite the fact that there are no such devices currently in development, let alone back then.

Ok so if I'm installing any AOSP ROM's then I need to install the Google Addon's as well. But this is not needed with any Sense ROM's. Thanks all!

[Q] M8 Stock apps on custom ROM

Hi guys,
I tried looking around but couldn't find a solution but i have a custom ROM and i wanted to install a few stock apps like the remote app and the power saving app because i was used to them, where can i find them and install them?

You can see if they are ported to aosp by browsing the themes and apps section.... But as a rule, apps made for Sense require the Sense framework to function. So sense based roms should have the apps, or at least you could manually install them.
As far as finding them, some may be on the play store, or you can wait for someone to upload them for you. ?

Hi, thank you for the reply, yes i can now agree with you that i need a sense based ROM to have the stock apps working because they are available on the play store and you can install the app but when you run it, it refuses and says unsupported device.
Thanks for this

Stock used Safestrap to flash over some gapps and just installed it that way and it all worked fine (gapps Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x) im sure i did this before but open gapps wouldent let snapchat work

if we could remove all of amazons stuff off the rom and replace it with others from a flashable zip or something it would be better as other apps like snapchat and barcode scanners would work, the problem is i have no idea how to remove stuff from the stock rom. I used system app remover and started removing stuff for fun. on cm 11 right now there are 61 system apps right now i did remove some anyway on stock it was like 270 something better if we round down to like 230, rather then port roms i think we should make fire os better i mean i love the swiping up to go back and having no status bar or that pressing the home button would open resent apps and you could close them from there, swiping down would open the notifications bar and other bits i mean its good when you think about it and the best think is the battery life but im sure thats because of the lack gapps . sorry for the spelling <3

Can't remember a single person reporting any problems with snapchat using stock Rom!? So what's the deal?

Manage Apps - Uninstall button stopped working

Global Rom 11.0.9.0 rooted with TWRP and Magisk. Using Terminal debloater to gradually get rid of both miui bloat and google stuff.
Has been working ok until after debloating Cleaner, Games, Google Velvet, google One time initializer and google partner set up and google play services and Framework and Play store.
"Downloads" as a heading was in twice as well and took both of them out.
I would not have expected any of these to have stopped that function - anybody have a suggestion as currently cannot actually uninstall those and others?

If your trying to remove all good stuff. Maybe easier to try install a China ROM instead of global. It already has no Google.
Since you are removing playstore and framework, all other Google apps would not function.
And the cleaner app aid closely tied to miui security app, and that can't be uninstalled.

That is the point - I don't want any Google, but I also don't want loads of Chinese tracking instead.
I will probably move soon to a custom rom but wanted to try Miui first for a bit.
I will see if I can reinstall the cleaner although I have read elsewhere it was removed without fuss.

I will see if I can reinstall the cleaner

For reference for anyone else who has this issue I did this via the debloater module and lo and behold Uninstall now works........
