Excluding not strictly necessary apps
opened this issue · comments
Can you add a way to exclude apps that are not strictly necessary?
- FaceLock
- GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
- GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
- Velvet (Google Search)
Or should we just manually delete the folders from app / priv-app?
Nope, these are needed to get a working google account
Facelock is removed if the device does not support it

They're definitely not needed, my Nexus 5 runs just fine without them. I don't know why every gapps packager insists on saying the sync adapters are essential. They aren't.

That's completely irrelevant. My device does support it, but I find it useless.
Let me make something clear. Including these apps makes complete sense, because they (and the other included apps) are the only ones you can't just get from the Play Store (with the exception of Google Search, which just needs system permissions for some things, like "OK Google").
But not everyone needs them.
Or are you saying the setup wizard doesn't work if the sync adapters are missing? I'm not sure whether I tested that.
sync adapter are needed to sync stuffs from google server
