I've installed Timur's USB kernel + CM on my N7. Looks like I have to install the Gapps package too to get stuff like the Play! store back. Is there any way to install only certain things from the Gapps package instead of having it install everything?
Anyone?
Use an AROMA Installer or edit the gapps zip folder yourself or install the gapps you want individually.

When editing the gapps zip, do I just delete APKs I don't want?

I have updated my phone to adrynalyne's DL09 Super Clean 0.4/DL30 1.0 version. I want to install couple of stock apps that are part of a patch provided by adrynalyne. (TW super pack, includes widgets and music player, etc)
My question is - Can I unzip the patch and remove apps that I don't want to install and create a new zip? Basically deleting unwanted apks under system\app of the zip. Would this work?
Extract the apk file from the full DL30 and paste into the system/app folder. I do this for thinkdroid every time I flash.

Stupid question but how to get to /system? using file manager or recovery?
i have modificate blurphone.apk ( just a png file) and after this steps (Link) I have no network and fc.
Somebody can help me? I have read a lot of things about how to sign and modificate apps but nothing yet about Motorola blur system apps.
Thx
If you are modifying simple png picture then you can do it without decompiling and compiling, just extract with 7zip and modify them and install it back via flashable zip.
Did you tried to put the apk without signing ?

Thx very much.
Hi. I've always thought about this. Some people say something like this
Copy the file aroma-config and updater-script from META-INF\com\google\android\ from 3.1.1 rom.zip to 3.1.2 zip to the same path. He will say v3.1.1 during installation, but he will install 3.1.2 and you can select CLK again.

And what does it mean? When I edit zip file, it doesn't work. Is there a program for this?

Looks like the update (the zip) mentioned in the quote disables a feature on the HD2 that was present before that update. See here - shouldn't you have included that link
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166948&page=1286
To prevent disabling the feature, the quote-poster advises to run the update with the updater script (the script that does the actual updating) replaced by an old version. To do that, download both update versions and replace the mentioned files mentioned in the post in the newest version. Rezip and apply the update.
Not sure if this is a wise thing to do if you don't know more about updating, restoring etc... At least backup your data.
No, it's just when I zip it after update, cwm doesn't want to install this and sees as damaged rom.
But 7-zip can change files in archive no need to unzip all. So it works
I'd like to take a gapps package I have right now and pare it down only to the apps I want.
This is what I've done, but I wanted to make sure that it's all that needs to be done in order to remove the gapps I don't want.
1. delete apks from system/app folder
2. delete app reference to the same apps in 70-gapps file in addon.d and save
3. re-zip all files
Will this create a flashable gapps package, or have I done something wrong?
Thanks.

Make sure the folder structure is correct, then it should be fine. Try flash it in the recovery, if it flash, then it is correct.
There are some dependencies lib files in "/system/lib" that can be removed. Check inside the individual apk for references.

You can open apks with any zip program (such as WinZip, 7-zip, WinRAR, etc).
EDIT: That is, open them up and view the various files within them (eg. the images, etc). Not sure if that's what you needed, but just clarifying.
i need some help setting up permissions in updater-script. actually i want to install Gboard and PlayGames in Lineage OS 16's System/app or system/priv-app folder. i can do it manually by copying files and set-up permissions and it works but i want to make a recovery flashable zip for installation i tried ZipMe.apk APP and then edit updater-script and add permissions but nothing works.
is there any flashble zip template for LineageOS PIE to install apps in system then please reply
If you just want to install those 2 apps, looks for the Gapps package that contains both, then follow this guide (https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options) to install just that 2 apps you want.
