Introduction
NikGapps provides custom GApps packages tailored to individual needs, offering full configurability to install exactly the set of Google apps you want. Available in six variants, NikGapps is a unique GApps solution built from scratch to meet the needs of Android users.

- Custom Architecture: Installs GApps in
/product
and/system_ext
partitions, with fallback to/system
if space is limited. - Full Control: Use
nikgapps.config
for installation preferences anddebloater.config
to remove unwanted components. - Compatibility: Dirty flash support, and can be installed over ROMs with GApps (excluding Pixel-flavored ROMs).
- Addons: Includes useful addon packages, so you don't have to flash the entire GApps package for a single app.
- Addon.d Support: Custom addon.d script allows selective backup and restore of apps during dirty flashes.
- Battery Optimization: Optimize Google Play Services by turning off "Find My Device" (requires ROM support).
- Privileged Permissions: Ensures privileged apps get necessary permissions without disabling Privileged Permission Whitelisting.
