[Q] Minimal Gapps for 4.4+

Hi,
I need a little help. I'm using [4.4.2] mahdi-rom.
Really don't like all of the original apps from Gapps pack, I newer use them and It's boring to uninstall it by Titanium Backup one by one after install original full gapps pack.
I tried to install MiniGapps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2499812 ,but after install my device didn't want to boot, so I have to reinstallled the rom.
Can somebody help me,.. Which of apps can I delete from original ZIP, before install it, if I need only Gmail app and Playstore app?
The original Gapps pack is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Thank's a lot.

[Q] Facebook inside HTC

Hi
I recently flashed a sense based rom and there isn't facebook inside HTC
Is there a flashable addon somewhere which I can flash from TWRP to make it work again?
Or if any dev can make it?
No I don't want to switch roms.
Thanks a lot!

"No I don't want to switch roms."
so install Facebook from PlayStore

[Request] Please someone can create a rom that is fully look like AOSP?

I know making a rom is a lot of time. But my old dream is an aosp rom on my XZ, but my phone's bootloader is locked (Allowed: No) . So i cant flash aosp. But i seen a lot of mods what is creating "someting" aosp. (I hope you understand what i mean ) So if we put everything in a pack and port some aosp apps like settings,gallery,phone etc....
Is it possible? If it is someone can create it?
Thanks!

It's not easy as you think. ROM like that need to be themed (to look like AOSP) in framework and many other places. Porting apps is easiest thing. As now, i can only recommend you these mods:
AOSP themed SystemUI (available for XZ 5.1)
CyanogenMOD messaging app and
Google Dialer (i dunno that it'll work with XZ 5.1)

@ActorTheBest
The best we can do is replace some of the Sony apps with Google apps from Play Store and move some of the ported CM12.1 apps to system->app folder. I also changed some of the icons from AOSP. See attachment as I wanted the same thing.
Hope it helps. BTW, I have eXistenZ 3.1.0 installed on my XZ.

Is there specific Roms for the xperia that are also like? Or gpe?

[TWRP] [CM13.0 CM14.1] [Automation Script] remove unwanted default apps

Simple TWRP recovery script that uninstall the following default CM apps (nothing wrong with this apps just personal pref):
1) AudioFX (makes my speaker's volume really low)
2) CMFileManager ( i prefer root explorer)
3) DownloadProviderUi (app that just show download folder)
4) Eleven (default music app)
5) Gello (default browser)
6) Stk (SIM info app)
All apps are safe to remove.
Just install .zip via TWRP recovery and reboot.
Every time i installed a new cm build, i had to manually removed this apps, so i made a automation script.
Hope its useful to somebody else!
I'm trying to make this script interactive, asking the user for confirmation at every app before deleting, but i cant find the documentation to do this. Can someone give me a hint?
thx!

EDIT: Added new cleaner script for LineageOS 14.1

this is what I was looking for, cause i'm too lazy to delete them 1 by 1 from system.
but hey dude could you make it as installer too, i means I want to replace stock cm14.1 app with google app with zip.
(e.g replace:
stock calendar with google calendar
stock clock with google clock
stock calculator with google calculator
stock dialer with google dialer
stock contact with google contacts
stock keyboard with google keyboard
remove trebuchet & add pixel launcher
) could you make it dude?

Sure, working on it. I think i can make it interactive too (select which apps to remove/replace). It's there a problem if i use openGapps builds binaries to make this?

Hi, Ive been using this since release. THANKS!
With unofficial Lineage OS builds rolling out, can we expect a version for it?
Id love a version that removes the default launcher as well.
Ive never did any coding myself, but Id like to know how to maintenance a script like that. Is there a decent tutorial normal folks can understand?
