Is it possible to avoid installing gapps at all but still be able to install apss from google play website?
After installing CM11 used the browser to install from google play website. I click the install button and I get the message ".... will be installed on your device soon". When I go to Google Play, it shows the app has been installed but it does not show up on the phone anywhere??!!!!

The google play website install button relies on your phone having the Google Play app in addition to having Google Play Services installed.
There are a few alternative app stores available for Android, but they won't have near the amount of apps available for them as Google Play does.
There was a website I read about that would allow you to download APKs from free apps on the Google Play store using your browser which you then could install manually on your devices, but I don't know the specifics. I do remember that paid apps weren't available to download using that site since Google verifies you own the app before allowing you to download it.
While the minimalist GApps that @BaNkS produced are no longer being maintained, the Paranoid Android folks are kindly filling the gaps with their Pico Modular GApps package. It is pretty well stripped down to the minimal that you need for Google services.
Big thanks to @TKruzze for providing these packages!

Hi,
I just got CyanogenMod 9 running on my Galaxy S Plus (i9001).
But there is no Play-Sore app on the screen ....
Thanks .....
You have to flash Gapps...its in the CM9 threads. Gapps are all of your google applications. CM can't include them in the ROM due to licensing issues.

Where you able to sign into your Google account? If you did and still no good then try searching Google and manually pushing the apk with root explorer or a similar app

Did you download the version of GAPPS made for ICS? (should have -ICS somewhere in the filename)
The gapps site lists dozens of versions, for various phones and roms.

Google play is not included in Android 4 / CM 9.
To install Google play, you need to download the google play apk from http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-apk-3-5-19/
Scenario 1: file managers is already installed.
Then transfer the apk to SD card and use the file manager to install google play apk.
Scenario 2: There is no file manager.
Install Android SDK or the ADB driver.

Open the ADB shell and type in "adb install <google play apk file name>"
>> Admins please move this thread if it's in the wrong place. <<
This thread is for you if you flashed a custom ROM and the Google play store and services aren't installed. Please note that this is a fail safe method for getting Play and Play Services if PA Gapps doesn't work for you. If PA Gapps doesn't work please try Cyanogenmod gapps. For Cyanogenmod, CM 12 is for 5.0+ and CM 11 is for 4.4.x.
Also, with Cyanogenmod "only apps which are required to provide the basic Google frameworks are supplied to reduce the download size." You simply need to push the package via ADB and then boot into recovery and install the zip. You can also download the zip directly to your phone.
If neither of the methods above work for your Gapps, then this is where I come in. If your flashed ROM is API 9 (Android 2.3 Gingerbread) or above, this method should work. It also requires some sort of data connection like WiFi or cellular data. Also go to Settings > Security and check "Unknown sources." to allow installation of APKs from sources other than Google Play. You can turn this off when we're done. Directly on your device, first download Google Play Services. Now go to your download manager on your phone. If your phone doesn't have one, tap on the notification. Once that's installed, install Google Play. You can also go here to make sure that you get the lastest version of Google Play, but I'll do my best to update it myself.
Once you have both Google Play and Google Play Services installed, you can go about your app downloading and be on your merry way.

Hello,
You may visit this here
Also, since are using an emulator you should keep in mind that emulator doesn't support Google Play Services by default. What you can do is download and install Google APIs from SDK Manager then create a new device in emulator using the Google APIs as target.

I have ever problem with download apps because my phone is not available Google play store. However, I found solution to this: way to download Google play again. Perhaps, some of you will see it useful.
If you have available Google play, you can update the latest version. Check your version: Google play=> setting, the build number is your current version.
Next, choose a trusted source of apk files for download Google play store APK (choilieng.com). Remember that if you download poor quality apk, they may have tampered with the apk which is bad news. (Note: download on devices or pc and transfer apk to space you‘ll remember)
Setting security to your app: Enable unknown sourced in the settings to install an apk. If disables, your system will prevent users from installing apps from anywhere aside from Google play store: Enter device setting=> security=>unknown sources => ok
Install the Google play store by using file manager: open file browser, navigate to place you put Google play store apk, click on it => click package Installer=> install.
Finally, keep yourself safe by going back and turn unknown sources off: setting=> security settings, privacy settings or application settings=>uncheck the box.
That is all. If you haven’t done this successful, it is better for you to download apk files and install apps like the step 2. Even if your devices are not available Google play or not, you can still download apk files for many installing apps in the future with more android devices.
is there any rom that will completely get rid of google? i tried viper and the play store was still there
i just don't want any gapps
To my knowledge, the only real true way is to root and flash an aosp rom (if available). They usually don't include Google apps unless you flash a gapps zip file. I hope that helps

just delete google play services and playstore manually.
There's a fork of lineage os that removes the google framework. There was an article on xda a bit ago. Anyway, here's the project page (https://lineage.microg.org/) and here's the article (https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-lineageos-built-in-microg-avoid-google-services/)
