Normally GApps aren't included. When a dev includes a GApps package it's for some reasons (OTA compatibility, personal tweaks/theming...).

Thanks. I thought there was some legal reason that developers weren't allowed to include them, so was wondering why some roms did have them.

I have just read this:
AOSP ROMs aren't allowed to include Gapps because Gapps are proprietary Google apps. They're not open source, and they're not part of AOSP. It is illegal to use Google's IP (Gapps) without permission. They get around the restriction by making you download and flash the Gapps separately. Gapps are included in Touchwiz ROMs because Touchwiz ROMs are just modifications of the manufacturer's ROM, which already has the rights to use Gapps.

But flashing a GApps package from a custom AOSP ROM or from PA Team / Mister BaNkS is the same. (at the end)
EDIT
Licensing
In September 2009, Steve Kondik (Cyanogen of the CyanogenMod team) received a cease and desist letter from Google, demanding that the Google Apps not be included in the team's ROMs, since the ROM could be ported to devices which are not licensed to have the Google Apps. In turn, that would bypass the requirement for the devices to be licensed. For a few days, development on the ROM ceased, there were outcries from Android users all over the Internet, and many bloggers suspected Google had just shot itself in the foot.
Eventually, an alternate method was found,[2] whereby Google Apps are not included in the ROM proper but the Google Apps which came with a device would be backed up by the device's custom recovery or another app, and then re-installed onto the device once the new ROM was flashed. This would therefore "Google-ify" one's ROM.
In order to update the Google Apps for devices which have not been updated to the latest versions of Android, and to simplify the Google Apps installation process, the Google Apps are now traditionally packaged in a separate flashable ZIP which can be easily installed on top of a ROM. This allows for faster installations, easier upgrades of Google software, less tasks for the custom recovery to perform, more user-friendly installations, and an overall more streamlined process.

Good job, and my respect is even bigger knowing that you are young fellow, non english native speaker...
Wish you enough will to continue and expand your little project, although i think your tests should last bit longer (for now it's more like first impressions).
And i don't think that Roms you pointed as non-working really don't work, people would mention about it...
Anyway, good job, once again

I said that dont work on my decive... This roms yes work but its more difficult to install them because you need to flas first the specifik stock rom that they're based and on my pc odin doesn't work (400 mhz and 128 mb of ram =) ) it's too old.
If you test them you can send to me your opinions and add them as working and tested roms.
Thanks

You must upgrade your phone to 4.1.2
then you must use a tempory CMW, and flash your rom to your phone
sorry for my bad english
The best form me is CM11 from TC, but in the new build you should checge minimal fraq to 200mH because of 100mH battery drain.
I'm using 4.4.4 from novafusion.pl. Very good, no problems with phone.
Great idea to have a central place for people to find ROMs. No doubt, CM is always a good choice but if you like pure Android I can also recommend this AOSP ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588054

For starters, I did NOT create or port this ROM, but I'm throwing it in this subforum because I don't know where else to put it.
All the info that I have is from Frandroid thread, which I can thankfully read (unlike all of the Chinese threads I went through trying to find download links).
Essentially, you need the ROM and Gapps:
Direct Flyme OS download
Gapps for Flyme OS
FAST MIRROR (Mega):
Flyme OS
Fun fact: You need to use the Gapps above. Installation is fairly typical: You need to "swipe to wipe data" in TWRP and install both Flyme and Gapps, then wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache for good measure. S-On users will need to flash the boot.img separately, according to the Frandroid thread.
You will also need to flash SuperSU for root.
To enable LTE, you may need to make sure that network type is set to "auto" in settings & type *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer and do this:
Set radio to "LTE/GSM/CDMA auto"
turn off radio
turn on radio
(I have yet to find a permanent way to enable LTE, sadly).
To enable Developer options, type *#*#6961#*#* into the dialer.

awesome downloading it right away
Edit: Download speed is terrible could you please upload a mirror? thanks
Same as fly on Nexus 5 i love it http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...port-flymeos-3-6-1a-kk-4-4-meizu-mx3-t2743368
I'll upload a mirror, as I have it on my PC. Let me get the laptop booted up and I guess I'll upload to AFH.
EDIT: Actually, I might as well upload it to Copy from my phone, as my PC and its charger are in my school bag already.
Beautiful rom,i love colour
Oo, i tested it, love
I have a little question,how to change weather location to outsite of china ?

Yes. I've had an odd experience trying custom kernels, though, as I've only found one that allows the rom to boot.
Never heard of Flyme OS. Must have been living under a rock. Is this another MIUI type system, ie Chinese with odd apps and features?

Oh right, thanks for the clarification. I went off MIUI a long time ago, closed source, have to sign up for themes, sign up for this and that, log in to access other things!!! Anyways, better not ruin this thread by going off topic anymore.

Heh heh, sorry about beating you to it. And actually, I mirrored the latest version (as evident by the file size).
Thanks though, dude!
Battery life has been subpar, but manageable for me.
For this S7 Exynos?
I've used a ton of these roms, but..Can any of these be completely de-googled?
lingeageos
find lingeageos from roms
We have LineageOS, Vanilla and microG
You could try e/OS but it ain't that good in my opinion
Every Lineage rom there is in this forum, comes with the phrase "Install gapps right after installing the rom itself don't try to boot to system before that if you want to use gapps (Or wipe data before installing them)" ...
So... Am I supposed to install GApps, and then microG on top of this "de-Googled" option?
Or can I install microG, from TWRP directly? And skip that step?

No.
Its not mandatory to install gapps in the first place.
Also you can directly install microG in place of gapps or just use the LineageOS microG version which you can find here
I was considering /e/ myself because it has an official ROM for this phone:
Info about Samsung Galaxy S7 - herolte
At least you can see what bugs have been reported with it there and decide for yourself if any of them look important for you or not. I don't know if any of the LineageOS community builds on the forums are likely to be better or worse in this regard? The other bit of info I can't find is how easy it is to go back to stock ROM if you have any issues with it. It appears to be based on Android 10 (Q), and I've heard it can be difficult to downgrade again to older Android versions?
For de-Googling it goes a bit deeper than just leaving out Google Play Services, but whether you care about lower level pings is up to you:
https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/e-state-of-degooglisation.pdf
Calls to Google servers
Here is a decent overview:
And here is my initial failed attempt to de-Google the stock ROM. If anyone can help with troubleshooting that it would be much appreciated, or maybe I need to post it in a separate thread?

very good, I wanted to ask about the official rom of the poco x3 nfc, does anyone know if there is the official rom of miui 13 but that it does not have all the gapps as they come by default? For example, I only want the minimum ones that do not have so many installations, only Google Play and the necessary ones, I think they are called nano gapps, my question is if there is an official rom with the minimum necessary gapps? not with so many apps that the rom installs.

It doesn't work that way.
If Xiaomi wants to sell phones with the PlayStore on it, it has also to include other Google apps and the Google search.
If you want the bare minimum from Google, you have to install a custom ROM.
Maybe it's possible to disable/uninstall unnecessary Google apps. Search around the forum for de-bloating. There's probably something in the guides section
