Create your own NikGapps build in less than 30 minutes

Repository to upload config file for NikGapps ecosystem to create a custom build for you

Builds Created So Far

Prerequisite

• Working knowledge of NikGapps configuration file
• That's it. No server, No core Gapps knowledge, No other cost!

Is there a video tutorial to create a custom build?

• Yes, if you want to skip reading and jump to video tutorial. Here is the video tutorial that you should follow to create a custom build.

How it'll work?

• Fork this repository (Find the fork icon on top right corner of this page)

• Wait till the forking is finished

• Once finished, Download the latest version of nikgapps.config (Always)
• Copy the downloaded file to specific target android version folder (for e.g, config must be part of '10' folder if you wish to create a build targeting android 10, similarly for android 11 and above)
  NOTE: Do not reuse/modify or delete any existing '.config' files from any of the folders to avoid problems during building and troubleshooting
• Rename the config file you downloaded and set the name you want to give your custom NikGapps build to. For e.g. xyz.config will create NikGapps-xyz-arm64-androidversion-date-signed.zip
• Configure your config file, set AppSet=1 or >>Package=1 if you want to include it in your package, else set it to 0
  • You may also set packages to 2 to include it in your package and prevent the AOSP package from being removed when your package is installed
  • For e.g. YouTube=1, PixelLauncher=1, >>PixelTips=1 will keep these packages in your custom gapps build while Drive=0 will skip the package (Any other values will be ignored)
• Commit the config file to your forked repository (make sure the name is unique, it can be anything with extention '.config')
• Send a pull request to merge your config file in this repository
• Wait for the pull request to get merged (should take less than 30 mins)
• Once the pull request is merged, NikGapps ecosystem will build your desired gapps
• Once your custom gapps package is build, the config file will be moved to archive with '_date' appended to it
• Find the date folder in Config-Releases where you will find your build created
• Since July 28, 2023, Sourceforge server is running into issues while connecting, thus until the issue is resolved, we've mirrorred the builds and you can find your build here.

How to request for a custom build again

• Follow above steps again as once the custom build is created, config file will be moved to archive
