New Stable Release is up - 27th June 2023 (Android 10-13)

Changelog:
- Fixed the addon.d script losing a file when the approximate match is found
- Skipped building overlay directory in system unnecessarily
- Remove the AOSP version of QuickAccessWallet
- Elite Builds - Auto upgrade the elite.config to latest version including debloater changes
- Drop support for android 12 as most people use android 12.1. You can still create User Builds for android 12.

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.

Those of you waiting for your custom/user build - there is an issue with sourceforge.net servers which is preventing the file upload.

Keep calm and wait until the issue is resolved.

You will find the download link here once the issue is resolved.

Hi Everyone,

The issue with sourceforge denying the request still persists which is the reason why you are not getting your builds in 30 mins.
To circumvent the issue, we've implemented uploading the files to an alternate file hosting website and the download link of your user builds can be found here.

This is only applicable to regular builds and not the elite builds. We're working with sourceforge support to resolve the issue in the meantime, if the issue takes longer to resolve, we will permanently switch to alternate option.

If you are aware of any alternate option, feel free to leave your recommendations.

Thanks for choosing NikGapps!

Announcement for Elite users.

you now have a dedicated page on nikgapps.com and can be accessed using https://nikgapps.com/<your_github_username>

for e.g. https://nikgapps.com/vivekvijayan20, https://nikgapps.com/Terminator-J, https://nikgapps.com/Gwolf2u (to name a few)

This dedicated page will offer you an organized way of accessing the download links - all in a single page. The builds created for you will reflect immediately after they are uploaded to an alternate file hosting website (given the issue with sourceforge.net)

How to become an Elite?
here's how

P.S. Regular User Builds can be found here.

Hi Everyone,

Sad news!

Looks like, the automated builds have come to halt until further notice.

Apparently, after release, due to long running workflow, Github decided to flag the account as it went on to execute for 9 hours while building user and elite builds.

I will try reaching github support to get some assistance but looking at the history of response on the issues, the chances of this getting resolved are very thin.

In the meantime, if anyone has any bright ideas to circumvent this issue - please feel free to share it - @NikGappsGroup

Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Alright guys,

We have a workaround for automated builds (until Github decides to enable Github Actions again) and it's going to continue (unless Github finds a way to disable that)

All your config builds (User Builds) will be created as it is.

Enjoy!

- Significant improvement in build time while creating the builds (release, elite, user builds)

Note:
- the fixes are tested on A-only devices, Please take backup if you're dirty flashing on A/B device.
- it is dirty flashable over previous build, recommending everyone to update to this build.
