I didn't see any gapps zips on that page...
You need at least this package: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
For CM10.1 Nightlies since they are 4.2.2 now.

I've used them but I will try again

What apps are you looking for exactly that you aren't finding?

All the google apps, I also re-flashed it and it still didn't work. :l

Well the apps that come in the gapps now are Talk, Play Store, Browser, Calendar, News, Quick Search, and some other minor stuff.
Gmail, Chrome, Voice, G+ and others are downloadable from the Play Store.

Is there not a pack with them in?

Not to my knowledge no. They are excluded in the zip as they as downloadable from the Play Store.

Make sure you reboot once with WiFi on.

As long as you have Play Store - just go in and search for any Google app, then scroll down and find the line that says MORE BY GOOGLE INC. Tap that and you'll see everything else you can install.

Package seems to be exactly what I#m looking for..
But can you tell me whats the difference between 4.3 and 4.4 package ?
4.4 apps should work on 4.3, or ?
And which apps are included in the core package ?

Here is a list of the APK's included in Banks' 4.3 GApps. I don't think the 4.4 GApps work with 4.3 ROMs, but I'm not 100% on that.

Nice. I haven't taken the time to theme and tweak it yet, but once I get some more free time I will.

What about all the libs ? I see some stuff from maps which he propably forgot to delete but I want to add some GApps from another package how do I know which libs and dependencies to add ?

What is each zip for?
I'll just love to know what does each zip on http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.3 does !!!
Have been looking and can not find an explanation on that, on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2012857 only 4.4 zips are described.

[Q] Troubles deodexing Lollipop I9505XXUHOB8 for GT-I9505

I have deodexed the apps, framework, and priv-app from the latest Lollipop I9505XXUHOB8. I can get it to install ok but when I boot in the system most of the google apps, playstore, google+, books etc FC. Clearing cache and stuff in the application manager doesn't help. I also am unable to install any version of gapps as it give error 40, not compatible with the apps in the system. Anyone who has been successful in getting deodex to install in a stock system without building a full rom, I would appreciate knowing to stop the FC's from happening with google stuff and why gapps are failing. I have been to the gapps thread but not of much help at this time. Thanks in advance...

A little more information. I use JoelDroidLollipopBatchDeodexer to do the deodexing. Just hoping that some rom devs can share their secrets on how to get the google apps to not FC. Reaching out to @slim80, @Albe95, @ambasadii, @Kushan02, for some help please.

Tale it from a gapps package for paranoid android cyano or some other rom. If that not work too then best way is to remove completely all gapps and keep only PStore and GMSCore (play service)

Letv Max 2 Stock Apps

It seems most resellers are removing all stock Letv apps and are gimping the device capabilities in the process.
I don't want to have to wipe the device and flash a new firmware just to get a couple apps that are missing.
Without the Letv Music app the USB c headphones are useless
Is there any way I can install just the apps I need on this without flashing a new firmware ?
Let me know your ideas , I could really use the help.

I did try, extracted apps from both from chinese 5.9.23s and indian 5.8.21s but they didn't work. Currently searching for a way to make them work on lineage. I'm not proficient with tweaking with this stuff so I would appreciate if someone could figure out how to do this.

Thanks for the quick reply, I know that it is impossible but I found a working mod for the remote control app so I was hoping that someone had an idea of how to mod/port those apps to N

The remote control app is integrated in some roms. Slim and my rom (based on slim) have it. But for the others there isn't any mod or something (at least from what I know)

There is possibility that the chamber apk works in custom rom nougat?

Stock files app
Can you upload stock 'files' manager app.
And also if possible all other stock apps for Lemax 2.

Dou you have the file manager apk ?
Thanks

What about stock dialer, will calls recording work?

A question

My last phone was a Titan or Moto G2 XT1068. In that, I rooted the stock ROM and tried uninstalling gapps but it went into bootloop. Only if I installed a third party launcher, uninstall gapps except Google, and then after a successful reboot I uninstall Google, it used to work. But mostly, the home screen never showed after uninstalling Google.
My question to you guys is
How can you get rid of gapps from Athene running latest stock rom? I tried System App Remover, but it kept failing. I rooted my phone with phh's superuser.
Pls help

Have you tried this debloater script in the Mods section? https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4-plus/themes/stock-rom-debloater-t3729594
As always, back up your device before using.

AFAIK stock ROM comes with Google Now Launcher, and removing Google app with cause force close to Now Launcher, (may be because of Google widget or side screen??)
You can remove google app from /system/priv-app or /system/apps (don't know exact place and folder name.)
Also remove google now launcher and install other launcher or use flashable launcher installer zip (like trebuchet or others) available on other XDA forums..
After it, wipe delvik and cache from TWRP, also take backup before proceeding to remove anything..

You cannot use Google keyword search and other things that you might want to use from Google. So easy way: freeze it, test everything, then decide if it should be deleted or not.

Depends what you mean with function properly... For example: Google play store is also a Google app. You need a third party app store like F-Droid or install every app separate per apk file.
Living without Google is possible, but you should decide. There's no yes or no in terms of recommendations. Only minor apps are outside the Google play store available.

Is the Convert User app to System app part of Titanium Backup Pro, or is it in the free version too? I'm not sure how up to date this page is, which suggests this feature is only in the premium paid version: https://www.titaniumtrack.com/titanium-backup.html
Still, it's such a useful tool it's worth buying the premium version for

It's only in the premium version this app is the best you can have if you are a flashaholic and worth the money. I have it since 2010 and it's my #1 app :good:

Your Device can run fine without google Search & Google now launcher.
I've made a zip file for that, try it out. But remember to install and make some other launcher as default before flashing this zip.

So what happened is this. I installed the mod apk and also tried the normal one of titanium backup. All of them keep stopping and never open up. Why is this happening?
