/config

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

Prerequisite

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)
    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 keep it in your package, else set it to 0
    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

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
