NikGapps - Releases

New Release is up - 31st Dec 2024 (Android 10-15 stable) Changelog:

- Enable Circle to Search with Google Search Addon (Thanks to Pranav Vashi - https://t.me/neobuddy89) - Clean up more packages with AIS installation (Thanks to Ionut - https://t.me/igram96) - Fix Pixel Launcher for QPR1 release (Thanks to BigSweater for the Apk - https://t.me/largesweater and Jericho - https://t.me/Jericho102002 for testing) - Performance Improvements in Installer Script

Note:

- it is dirty flashable over previous build, recommending everyone to update to this build. - we're trying very hard to allow dirty flashing without issues, however, I would still suggest backing up everything before flashing to make sure you don't lose anything if things go south. - If you're running into crashes with dirty flash, try again with clean flash.

Announcement:

Alignment with Google's QPR Release Schedule: - Future updates will follow Google's Quarterly Platform Release (QPR) timeline. - Expect faster Gapps updates with each QPR. Increased Focus on Android Go: - More frequent updates for Android Go users starting now. End of Official Support for Android 10-13: - The upcoming NikGapps release will support Android 14+ only.
