Famigo AROMA GApps

What is it?

A full featured GApps package that you can select what apps you want to install using AROMA. You can also remove some system apps that come pre-installed with your ROM.

What isn't it?

A slimmed down GApps. While you can slim down your ROM by not installing all the GApps or removing extra bloat with the Removal Tool, you will have a bigger download up front.

GAPPS

Our GApps includes most of the Google Apps that come standard on Google Nexus devices. In this package you will find the Core Apps¹, Face Unlock², and the following Selectable applications:

Plus Drive Play Search Other
Google+ Drive Books Chrome Calendar
Hangouts Keep Games Home Camera
Movies Maps Gmail
Music Now Keyboard
Newsstand Wallet
YouTube

¹ Core Apps includes the core system base apps as well as Google Play services, Google Play Store, and Cloud Print (on 4.4 Only). ² Devices with a front camera will automatically have Face Unlock installed.

BACKUP/RESTORE

Our GApps allows to back up your selections and restore them for later use.

INSTALL

  1. Download a 4.3 or 4.4 ROM.
  2. Download our GApps.
  3. Reboot into your custom recovery.
  • I recommend TWRP if possible.
  1. OPTIONAL (but recommended): Wipe system, cache, and dalvik cache before installing ROM.
  • This will not erase your Files.
  1. Flash ROM of choice
  2. Flash our GApps that you downloaded earlier.
  3. Finally, follow the on-screen instructions to install your GApps!

REMOVER

QUICK HOW-TO

We will cut everything after a pound sign/hashtag/"#" from the script. That is, all the tutorials, app descriptions, and apps you want to keep; thus, only leaving the script with the files you want to remove Edit the list below as you see fit, examples: AdobeReader.apk > Removed (because there is no "#") #AdobeReader.apk > NOT Removed (because of "#") AdobeReader.apk #PDF Reader > Removed (but extra text ignored)

CUSTOMIZING

By making a file named junk.txt in the /sdcard/Famigo/remover folder you can add files from anywhere and use wildcards to cut similar items.

Files and folders deleted ARE case-sensitive, examples: /path/to/file/file.txt > Deletes file.txt /path/to/folder/ > Deletes folder ... REMEMBER the trailing "/" /system/app/Apollo.apk > Deletes the system app Apollo ... REMEMBER to Scan Everywhere during install when including FULL PATH /data/app/Facebook.apk > Deletes the user app Facebook (if that's what it's called) ... REMEMBER to Scan Everywhere during install when including FULL PATH Apollo.apk > Deletes the app Apollo ... REMEMBER to Scan System/App and/or Data/App depending on place Apollo > Deletes apps named Apollo ... REMEMBER to Scan System/App and/or Data/App depending on place Apo* > Deletes all files starting with "Apo" ... Be CAREFUL with wildcards.

WHAT TO SCAN

During the install, it will ask you which folders to scan. By default, we will only Scan /system/(priv-)app which is where system apps and PARTICULARLY junk apps are. However, you may want to erase user apps that are in /data/app or other system files located elsewhere. Unless you are specifically trying to remove user installed apps - do not check Scan /data/app and unless you are trying to cut a specific file or folder (ringtones, wallpapers, etc) - do not check Scan Everywhere
