NikGapps

NikGapps project started with the goal to provide custom gapps packages that suits everyone's needs. A package that a user needs but cannot find and ends up setting up the device installing more apps and removing unwanted apps manually.

• NikGapps is a gapps package built from my own device. As my device is always updated with latest version of Google Apps, every time I build a new package, I am on latest version of Google Apps.
• NikGapps is a bit different than other Gapps packages. It focuses on providing apps that most of the people uses but can't find it in other Gapps packages and ends up installing the apps manually.
• NikGapps doesn't have stock YouTube, instead it has YouTube vanced. It doesn't have Pixel Launcher, instead it has Lawnchair launcher
• It supports addon.d so you need not flash the package again and again after every nightly flash
• It also allows optimizing Google Play Services (when you turn off Find My Device) so that you can sleep with peace without having to worry about Google play services eating your battery.
• just like OpenGapps, it allows you to dirty flash it anytime you want
• NikGapps comes with nikgapps.config file (can be found at /sdcard/NikGapps folder) which allows you to configure your installation. Now you can control the installation the way you desire.

Also, since these are custom build, I can include as many packages as I want (which I do, you can pm me if you want that package)

It comes with following packages

Core

• Minimum Google Apps Required to run Play Store

Basic

• Everything from Core
• Face Unlock
• YouTube Vanced

Omni (don't confuse it with Omni Rom)

• Everything from Basic
• Google Messages (Replaces AOSP Messages)
• Google Dialer
• Google Contacts (Replaces AOSP Contacts)

Stock

• Everything from omni
• Google Setup Wizard
• Lawnchair (available only on pie package)
• Google Drive
• GBoard
• Google Velvet (for voice unlock)
• Google Markup

• Google Maps
• Google Wallpaper

Full

• Gmail

Although these packages cover a large user base, there are few users who like things differently that is where NikGapps Addons Comes into picture. These Addon packages are separate and meant to flash over NikGapps original packages.
