AOSP 6.0.1 Marshmallow ROM for the note 2 is fine – and tiny, but the problem comes up with the apps.
the two links to the apps on next page (e.g. https://androidhost.org/get/22Wwx) provide only the playstore. But who want to be without maps?
but when i choose the http://opengapps.org/ there is only nano and full package. but full make my launcher unusable (“pixel launcher stopped”)
is opengapps.org only for Lineage/CM and not for AOSP ?
