  • Google Play Services On Cuttlefish
    1 project | /r/androiddev | 14 Nov 2022
    So...take this with a grain of salt since I've never personally built cuttlefish before, but looking over at some blog posts related to that, I don't see why you can't modify one of the cuttlefish targets and integrate your GMS build script. If you don't have an official GMS package, you could try integrating MindTheGapps.

  • OpenGApps instead of MindTheGapps on LOS 18.1?
    2 projects | /r/LineageOS | 13 Jul 2021
    That's because at the time that https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps.html was updated for 18.1 there was no official Open GApps launched yet & for MindTheGapps if you look at the Thanks and Credits chapter in the bottom of the page of https://gitlab.com/MindTheGapps/vendor_gapps there is a bunch of LineageOS devs mentioned. The same guys you can find in https://wiki.lineageos.org/contributors.html
  • Lineage 18.1 upgrade in one plus one
