Seeing as how their we have so much excess free space on /system, but quite limited space on /data, I thought I'd make this addon, based off the traditional Google Apps .zip addon for CyanogenMod. It contains the latest of all the included apps, as of the 26th. Included are nearly all the major Google apps available from the market.
There is also an Apps Pack Plus, containing several popular apps (Astro, Dropbox etc), system utilties (ROM Toolkit, Titanium Backup), Apps that are important to keep after a factory reset (Where's My Droid), social media apps (Faceboook + Messenger, eBuddy), and other useful apps that I personally use.
All the apps included are free and available on the Market, if any developer wants them removed, I will do so.
You can flash each on its own, however its highly recommended you flash the Google Apps Standard .zip. The Apps Pack Plus is very optional, and you can delet any of the .apks in it without issue.
Thanks to: Google, the CyanogenMod team, the developers of the included apps, and also Schwinni over at MoDaCo whose expanded GApps for the Blade inspired me.

Whilst i appreciate the work you've put into this, i don't understand why it is necessary or even in the dev section
The google apps zip from cyanogen is more then enough, but maybe i'm being a d**k and this is needed for cm7

Its just to free space in /data.
All these apps are the latest versions, and thus, versions in /daa will be removed freeing data. Cyanogens version is quite outdated at this stage. If you dont want to use it thats fine, if you do you are free to remove things or to request changes. And yeah. Read the first post.
In the long run this will end up taking more space in /data/ than it would before, as updates are released for apps that could of been moved to sd card but can't now as original app is in /system/.

Just use system cleanup to move the updates to the system again, xda just posted an article about it!
nice pack
thanks for the zip i flashed it and took out a few apps with titanium and then used system cleanup to transfer data to system and it worked great on my xplay(r800i 2.3.4 locked bootloader and CWM)
thank you for the tips

No problem! just so you know you can actually just delte apps from the .zip before you install it in Recovery.
If anyone wants changes, just ask
Rebranded the larger package as Google Apps Plus, and added a smaller package called Google Apps Standard.
Theres been no app updates, mind, due to Christmas I guess.
Made Google Apps Standard the main package, AppsPackPlus is now an optional add-on. Last change to format, promise!
Also updated Google Books app to latest version.
Also, I was thinking of adding Google Reader to the GApps standard package, and maybe Chrome To Phone and Google Authenticator to one of the packages. Thoughts?
Chrome to phone is a big yes. Use that one everyday.. (though with firefox.. so you might change that to 'browser to phone' for advanced configuration. Works the same as default chrome to phone though..)
Goolge Reader would be a big nono.
How about pulse? - Best News Readers (or RSS in general.) - Pulse.me
WhatsApp? - Most used?
Twitter? - why not?
Rolle Youtube? - Download Youtube Videos!
the XDA App? - Obviously?!
Camera Mod? - Right button Shoot
Also i love the XingPlayer aswell as TinyShark (and it's downloader!).. but that's just my preference there.
Edith:
Big Question.
I've been using my System with gapps ( obviously ) for about 2 months now.
Is it safe to flash your files above them without errors?
Will do a nandroid nontheless, but curious

I received my Nook Tablet for Christmas, and of course the first thing I do is root it (using Nook&Zergy). Now that I have access to the market, I ask myself"wheres all the apps?" I assume that it was the Android market filter hiding incompatible apps. So later on I try to side load and get errors. So now I just want to know how to get apps to work? I also blocked OTA's.
[In a nutshell]
What I know:
-Nook runs tweaked Gingerbread
-Honeycomb app I try to install get a parseing error when I try to install(most likely do to api's)
-Market has limited app selection.
What I want to know:
- Is it possible to get Honey comb apps to run(for example adobe touch apps, sketchbook pro hd ect...)
-Why is the android market selection so limited
-What is a parsing error?
- If you have any more advice feel free to share
Thank you!
I'm having same issue
Im having the same problem. Google maps, Evernote, Facebook all do not show up in market. When I use the browser to access the market it says these apps are incompatible. Also words with friends installs and opens but doesn't show properly, the chat window overlaps the game board so you can't see it. Is this a dpi issue? I've seen other posts that maybe dpi needs to be changed to 160. If so, How is this done?

Gingerbread can't run honeycomb apps. I have evernote and some other apps I have found through other sites, however i have not got facebook to run yet.
The apps are limited because of the fingerprint of the device, but people have spoofed the build.prop file to gain access to more of the market. See other threads.
I have facebook and twitter running on my rooted nook right now. I took the apks from my phone backups and put them in dropbox, downloaded and installed. (That was actually before I rooted) but they are working fine and the widgets work on the homescreens. I did that with all of the apps I wanted from my phone.
If this helps, I created a tutorial on how to download apps not showing up in the Marketplace.

I love Flash Player on the Nook and can't believe Android is Taking Out features!?
A quick search shows my Nook on 11.1.111.10, yet it's not listed on Adobe's archive page. I'd like to offline the apk installer so I can reinstall to any Nook OS that comes around, esp. since it's not part of CM7 MicroSD card image for the Nook, and want the 'original' installer.
Various versions are on 3rd party links when searching, but none from reputable sites - don't know if they're virus infected.
So what's the best way to offline the apk to ensure I've got the original installer for the Nook after Winter?
Are you using stock?

I'm on CM7 on a MicroSD card on a NT 8GB.
I know I can image the whole setup, but that won't help when cm9/etc rolls around, so I wanted to dl the original apk myself for reinstalls.
I've read that long multistep Chrome browser + apk saving plugin trick, but that seems a bit overboard for this - plus, another Q: if the browser is dl'ing the apk with one Google account, will that saved apk work on the tablet with any account? Or is the apk locked to one G account?
But, if that is the best way short of risking a virus with 3rd party apk dl sites....
Have you tried titanium backup from app store?
No. Haven't thought of using Titanium due to the huge number of threads here and on the Net from users that encounter issues restoring an app from backup.
My goal isn't to play a guessing game with the backup - it's to get the working apk archived on my pc so I'll always be able to reinstall it.
Just trying to find the best way to get the authentic, unaltered apk for Flash Player.

So the Google play store has the same version as you do. So you are okay and no worries ( I believe ). I am a big flash fan too and am sad they are phasing it out. I can remember building whole flash websites ten years ago. It was hard. A real strain on my brain ( but totally cool )...
I personally can't wait for flash to go. Its a dinosaur in the development world and its time for it to go.
With that said, simply search for an app backup and restore app on the play store and you'll find an app that will save the app for you. Alternatively, if you're rooted, navigate to /data/apps and you should see the .apk file there.

So, I purchased a Nook 16 GB tablet with the hopes of rooting it, and that proved to be very simple. Lots of great instructions from really smart people and all that. I am confused, however, on what apps are available in the Google Play Store and what ones aren't. It was my understanding that, once rooted and flashed ( I flashed CM7 using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512373 ) I would be able to install apps from the store, and I can, but common apps like Kindle, Facebook, BofA, etc don't show up in searches and are unavailable for download. I have searched the forums and I can't find a good thread describing how that whole process works. Is it common for these apps to be unavailable or have I done something wrong? Do they need to be sideloaded, and if so, what's the point of having access to the Play Store? Any help or explanation is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one of the many files the google play store uses to determine what types of apps a device can download and install is called build.prop
this file contains the properties of the device, such as device name, device model, kernel, os, etc...
you might have seen some threads regarding the modification of said file which has proved to work in some cases for getting certain apps to show up in the play store.
hope this answered your question...
I to recently got a nook tablet and flashed the same rom as you. The build .prop fix worked a little bit for me. I ended up trying to change the pixel density which was a big mistake. I had soft bricked my device and had to restore a stock b&n image. I finally settled with cm9 and am LOVING it except for a few bugs. On another note, I tried to install a baseball game from the play store only to be met with "sorry, your device is rooted. Please unroot and try again".

Ok, I thought this was it, but it appears it is more complicated than that. First, I did some digging here on the forums, and found this method that everybody seemed to have luck with. I followed it to the letter, but it didn't give me the access to apps in the store as it was supposed to. Next, I flashed the CM7 Beta that I I know I am able to access the full market with. I copied the build.prop file from that build to my SD card, flashed the ROM I want, and proceeded to replace the build.prop file with the one I put on my SD card. I went in, cleared the cache and data from the market app, rebooted and... nothing. Same restrictions as before. There must be something more to this than just the build.prop file that I am missing.

well i am running cm7 beta and apps like facebook twitter bank of america, etc show up just fine. its using the stock build.prop that comes with the beta as well...
so i am not too sure why your's doesn't work.
try flashing the cm7 beta but do the following:
wipe data, cache and dalvik caches before and after flashing the cm7 beta. that might be the reason why some apps don't show up. you might still have some residue data from your previous rom that wasn't wiped off...

Hey folks, I'm currently using the latest GAPPS 21122012 on my AOKP 4.2.1 by helicopter88. Ok, enough background info.
When uninstalling certain apps like the sh!tty play store, Google Voice, Talk, Download Manager and others (only want GMAIL to work), my file explorer (using ES File Explorer) complains the apps haven't been uninstalled, but they certainly are.
And the (oh what a surprise) the gapps service keeps crashing on every reboot of the phone as well as every hour at least once.
QUESTION: How to enable full functionality of GMAIL (I have the APK) without having to install the whole bloatware package of GAPPS? I heard of a project called "NoGAPPS" - an option? A detailed guide would be awesome, every helpful answer gets a THANKS!
AW: GMAIL without GAPPS?

First of all, the latest gapps for 4.2.1 are 20121212 not 21122012 which may be part of your problem.
I believe Gmail depends on the framework and other modules that install as part of the gapps so installing just the Gmail .apk won't work. K-9 Mail is based on the original Android email client and has a lot of functionality that Gmail doesn't have so you could give that or another email app a try as a replacement for Gmail.
And don't expect to get an answer immediately just because your thread is viewed. There are a lot of lurkers on these forums and some people that are curious but may not have and answer or advice.

I looked around and did some searches but did not find this question so here goes...
In the past, I've used Titanium Backup to do this (integrate updates for system apps such as Google's Play Store and Play Services into ROM space). Not sure why, but this doesn't work for me anymore.
BTW, my Rezound is S-On, rooted, using Neo's CM11 hybrid ( 【ROM】【4.4.2】【UNOFFICIAL】CyanogenMod 11.0【02-03-14】【GPL】【HYBRID】) with dalvik.
Is there a more direct approach I could use to do this?
If a link could point me in the right direction, that might work as well.
Thanks for any help.

System App Names in /data/app Differ from /system/app
Reporting back.
I did look into the respective directories and determined the same apks are not named the same.
I also read some of the thread for BaNkS gapps and saw mentions of libs associated with private apps and those that aren't That made me wonder if there might be files (libs or other) needed for the apks in the /system/app area that differed (for whatever reason) from those in the /data/app area.
Rather than spend much time fooling with it, I decided not to try any experiments.
Still looking for other alternatives but living with what I have for now.

Thanks for popping in to reply.
That's my understanding as well; that's why I don't use it to restore any system apks. But that's not really what I'm doing.
What I do is to install the ROM and then apply any system apk updates from the Play Store.
What I used to be able to do is to "integrate" the update into the system space with TiBu and eliminate the double space-taking. I keep a lot of apps on my phone so that saves some space for me.
Until/unless I can find a safe way to do what I want, I'll just live with the excess space-taking.

Hi, sorry to necro this thread but I just looked at Ultimate Backup Lite, and read about Pro's features, and did some Googling and I can't seem to find anywhere in Ultimate Backup to integrate system updates. Maybe it can be done indirectly by backing up the system apk's update, uninstalling it totally and then restoring only the updated version, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing the feature somewhere. In the meantime, I'll make another Nandroid and try just what I described.
With TB, the only system app update I ever have problems integrating are Google Play Services.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Edit: well, that didn't work. Restored both exactly like they were, original apks and updates in data/app.

Believe it or not, I couldn't even delete and reinstall apps because the Play Store wouldn't even recognize my phone and I couldn't do the "locate" thing on the Play Store site to ring back the phone because apparently Location Services wasn't working.
After doing a couple of hours online for all of the error messages about Play Services unfortunately stopping, I TWRP'd the backup that I had made.
In fact, I wasn't able to re-download anything like Inbox, Gmail or Maps because believe it or not, my phone wasn't even recognized on the Play Store... it was greyed out with only my old Moto recognized.
Yet another reason for frequent backups when messing around with things that one unfortunately puts too much faith in before using.
So, long story short... there are apparently things in the original APK that need to be there in order for the update to work.
Everything is back to working order right now, unless I haven't discovered something lurking in the background.

Download Link2SD and on that, sort by Updated then press on an app, and "Integrate update to system" or something like that. I use it for Google updates too, it works perfectly, only Google Play Services FC if i integrate.. But give it a try after a backup I hope i helped!

I did exactly that but i found an issue... is it normal, that every time I integrate an update into the system rom, the available space is less? In my mind, the updated app should replace the one into the rom, so the available space in /system should be more or less the same. What am I missing...?

Reboot, clear cache and dalvik, boot and check again. Remember that most updates are larger than the original in many cases.

Hello, is possible to integrate the updates automatically? I thought to create a script...
