Hey everyone,
I've been working on a new GApps package for Android 17 (SDK 37, arm64 only) called TuxGApps. The penguin noticed your ROM shipped without Google, so he waddled in to help.
It comes in two flavors:
· TuxCore: Minimal. Play Services, Play Store, Framework, SetupWizard, and sync plumbing. Just enough to sign in.
· TuxFull (default): Everything in Core, plus Gmail, Maps, Photos, Chrome, Messages, GBoard, Clock, etc. (The whole iceberg).

How to use it:
Flash your ROM (Android 17) in recovery, don't reboot yet.
Flash the TuxGApps-tuxfull-penguin.zip.
Reboot and go through the SetupWizard.
Open the Play Store and you're good to go. The apps will survive ROM updates via addon.d scripts.
Note on variants: By default, it installs TuxFull. If you want TuxCore instead, just rename the zip so it contains tuxcore (e.g., TuxGApps-tuxcore.zip) before flashing. You can also use a tux.config file, but renaming is easier.

Known Bug (Important):
This is still a work in progress. There is a known UI hiccup during the initial SetupWizard. Certain screens might freeze or not let you tap "Next."
The workaround: Just turn your screen off and back on (lock and unlock). This refreshes the UI and lets you proceed to the next step. It's a bit janky, but it works!
If things go sideways, logs are saved to /sdcard/TuxGApps/tux_logs/ if you need to debug.
Must wipe data after install.
On moto devices you have to flash RO2RW to make the system be able to be written.
