Create your own NikGapps build in less than 30 minutes

Author - CypherWiz
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 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
