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.
