GApps for CM11 (last updated: 2015-03-13)

[Guest rhen]

This package is for Dazzozo's CM11 ROM.

It made for make space for Paranoid Android's Pico Modular package to fit on the G300's /system partition.

If you are an Y300/G510 owner, you don't need this!
 
What it does:

Removes the following things and keep it deleted across ROM update:

- CyanogenMod Wallpapers: CMWallpapers.apk

- Live Wallpapers: Galaxy4.apk, HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk, LiveWallpapers.apk, MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk, NoiseField.apk, PhaseBeam.apk, PhotoPhase.apk, PhotoTable.apk, VisualizationWallpapers.apk

- Media content: bootanimation.zip, CyanTone.ogg, Boxbeat.ogg

- The following apps: VideoEditor.apk, WhisperPush.apk

 
Download links:

Google Drive

 

Instructions for installing the Latest PA GApps Pico Modular package:

 

What you need:

- Download the latest non Uni PA GApps Pico Modular package

- Download the delete-CM-stuff-20150313-signed.zip and gapps-config.txt

 

The installation method:

1. Copy the downloaded files to the root of your SD card.

2. (optional) Format /system /cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache.

3. (optional) Install latest CM11.

4. Install delete-CM-stuff-20150313-signed.zip.

5. Install pa_gapps-modular-pico-4.4.4-20150308-signed.zip.

 

For updating GApps in the future you will only need the PA GApps and the gapps-config.txt (this will not change).

(If you update with formatting the /system partition, you will need the delete-CM-stuff-20150313-signed.zip again.)

 

You can also remove some parts of the ROM by adding the following keyword to the gapps-config.txt:

Browser - To remove the Stock/AOSP Browser

CalendarStock - To remove the Stock/AOSP Calendar Application (automatically removed when Google Calendar is installed)

CameraStock - To remove the Stock/AOSP Camera Application (automatically removed when Google Camera is installed)

EmailStock - To remove the Stock/AOSP Email Application (automatically removed when Google Email is installed)

ExchangeStock - To remove the Stock/AOSP Exchange Services (automatically removed when Google Email is installed)

Awesome work! :D

[Guest Meglestus]

Does this gapp package contain a launcher, if so which? 

I am trying to update my nightly but am having troubles with the  launcher problem...

It doesn't contain any launcher. The ROM contain the launcher.

It just updates the backup script, not to delete the launcher. (this was a bug in the initial BeepBeep pack)

If you don't have launcher now, you can install this gapps and on the next ROM update, the launcher will "coming back".

Hmmm okay, I will update again in a week because I have time then to figure everything out.

Hopefully you are right, I am still stuck at the 08/12 rom because I am having this with every update..

[Guest rhen]

Added a poll to get to know what modules would you like and what would you sacrifice for these modules?

[Guest bovinewarrior]

Hi rhen, thanks for your work, it's really appreciated!

I'm sorry if this is a daft question, can the other modules, e.g speech recognition etc go on a different partition instead of system?

[Guest rhen]

Hi rhen, thanks for your work, it's really appreciated!

I'm sorry if this is a daft question, can the other modules, e.g speech recognition etc go on a different partition instead of system?

One possible solution is to place the module to the /data and a symlink to the /system that point to the data. It may work in theory, but haven't tried it.

Firstly I plan to make flashable zips that is remove stuff and modules in the poll.

Separate zip for every removable item, so you can make the decision what would you sacrifice for a module.

The modules will be ready on next week.

This is the current "roadmap".

Later, I will try your suggestion, but I can't tell time at the moment.

Have you formatted /system partition before installing of CM11 and GApps?

If not, do it. (Follow the guide "Clean update" in the first post)
