NikGapps 3.84

A short description of your project

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.

Features

• Android Go Support: Ideal for low-end devices, ensuring smooth performance.
• 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 and debloater.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.
