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 Cyanogens version is quite outdated at this stage.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

Thanks for those ideas. Yeah you can flash over it without issue.
Thanks for this. It's necessary in case you install a CM7 "KANG" build and the Google Market apps keep force-closing.
nice zip....i flash it in my Atrix... awesome.... but long time no update yet....

Any chance of doing a similar thing for the ICs gapps etc...
I would really like integrated ICS gapps to install into system and save space on /data.
Here is the ORIGINAL and MODED version of Google play store for our Android Devices:
Requirements: Android v2.2+
Overview: Play Anywhere, All your entertainment in one place, Google Play is your one-stop shop for all your favorite entertainment.
CHANGELOG:
- You now have the Installed and All tabs you can swipe between. The former one is what we used to have before - it lists all apps installed on your device. The latter lists all apps you've ever installed in case you want to download them again or travel down the memory lane. This is quite handy, and I've seen this list before in the Play Store on the web, so it's great to get it here in the mobile app.
- The All tab contains a handy dropdown with all your accounts (if you added more than one) and lets you switch between them very easily (as opposed to clicking Menu, etc).
- The list of apps you have purchased but uninstalled or haven't installed yet has moved to the All tab... which means it's now mixed in with the free apps you no longer have on the device. I'm not sure how I feel about that - on one hand, I like that it's gone from the first list, but ideally there should be a way to filter paid apps from free in the All list. Maybe someday...
- A few of the stock apps that apparently never got linked to the Play Store before got identified and picked up this time, and updates to such orphans were waiting for me when I fired the Store up. I've complained about this very bug in my last rant, and it looks like someone listened.
- Just like in the web Play Store:
# reviews now show the device used by the reviewer
# reviews can now be sorted by Most Helpful first or Newest first
# you can now filter reviews to show ones for the latest version of the app as well as made by only the device you are using
Credits to Deeco7 for changelog
MOD VERSION features:
Unlimited access to apps in Google Play Store
Removed countries restriction in Google Play Store
Fixed the issue which your device is not compatible with this item in Google Play Store
Credits to L.D.B.
INSTALL:
ORIGINAL - Just paste Vending (original).apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16.apk to your phone and install it...
MODED - first make a backup of your previous market first in system/app using Root Explorer (rename Vending.apk to Vending.bak or something) or just delete it, then simply copy attached Vending.apk or GooglePlay v3.5.16-mod.apk it to your system/app folder using Root Explorer (or similar app). After that set permissions how is showed in attached picture down, then restart your phone...and enjoy yourself.
PS: KEEP ***** SLAPING THAT THANKS BUTTON...

Heeelp! When I try to open Play Store it instantly closes! I have XMP old xperia project latest with naa-kernel 11. Shouldn't it normally get the market app when I get to play store? I tested many roms by now but noone had the original market.

You need to flash google apps (gapps). In CWM recovery First wipe data,factory reset,dalvik cache, then Install XMP rom, then install google apps : http://www.mediafire.com/?brzi261rxhp8rtr (The newest Google Apps by D3V!LC0R3).After that restart your phone...when it boots, sign in to your google account, open market (browse for minute, he will automaticli update to google play store)...cheers.
Hey guys-
Here is a stock, deodexed (only 2 odex remain), debloated rom. Flash it in my recovery after wiping system & factory reset. I have not tested it myself so please make a nandroid before you use it. I cut about 170MB from the ROM without removing much. I will be uploading two "rebloat" packs to add back the stuff that I removed if you want it!
OTHER NOTE: I did not sign this rom, so please uncheck signature verification in TWRP. I don't remember if it is on by default or not.
I also removed the htc linkify that is related to the Apple patent crap.

I have used my fair share of inverted/themed Google apps, such as the Play Music app or the Google+ app. I am wondering how I can theme the apps myself. Specifically, the new Google Play Music update that came out a few days ago. I want to change the widget from gray, to black. Like this...
Can any one help or guide me in the right direction? Tried changing the pictures in the Res folder, but when I try to install the apk, I get the parse error.

Anyone else see this new feature in google play on their stock rezound?

I don't have the option yet and wondering why.
Maybe you don't have the latest Google play store. I know I have the one from the 4.3 jelly bean release. It only shows when you install apps from a file manager

Doesn't google play auto update in the background? Does stock rezound not have the latest google play?
Know I haven't gotten the latest google maps or calendar.
It should be somewhere in security in settings. I'm on a sense Rom so I don't know exactly where
Edit : just updated google talk to hangout which said it required google service framework update (something like that) and it downloaded google settings which has the verify apps option
