Introducing Open GApps for Stock
This package aims to help everyone that wants to integrate updates to the GApps into their ROM without the risks of Titanium Backup.
It was originally a fork of the work of TKruzze and it's now part of the Open GApps project.
Some things changed from the old PA GApps package to accommodate the installation on stock ROMs. The largest part of the changes is not visible to the user, but I would like to list them here:
• All the libchrome libs from /system/lib and /system/lib64 are now removed.
• The sizes of the apps are now directly measured from the zip, thus resulting in a more accurate estimation of the occupied space.
• The Google Email client (the one that became a stub following an update on the Play store) will be removed if Gmail is going to be installed.
• Android System WebView has been added to the Stock package.
The gapps-config functionality is still here and can be used to exclude some apps or to reduce the package to a smaller size.
GApps for Stock joined the Open GApps project and became Open GApps for Stock
It's just like the standard Open GApps stock package with the added ability to flash over Stock ROMs. This new package is called "fornexus" and is intended to use on Nexus devices with Stock ROMs from Google. Open GApps for stock is now included in the main code of the OpenGApps project, so you can now flash the stock package or smaller ones directly on your Nexus device. The compatibility with other ROMs is not guaranteed, but you can ask for help here (and not in the Open GApps thread) providing the debug logs (found in the same folder of the ZIP file) and I can tell you if your problem derives from a complete incompatibility or can be solved by me.

FAQ:
Some Frequently asked Questions about the Open GApps package can be found here. If you don't find your question in the FAQs, you can post it here and you will be answered.
This post will be populated with the time as questions arise.
Thanks to the joining with the Open GApps project, this package is now available for both arm and arm64 devices, from Android 4.4 KitKat to Android 5.1 Lollipop.
Download:
You can find the latest version from the website OpenGApps.org
You can download now any package and if a Stock ROM is detected, it will switch to the "for Stock" mode.
Gapps for Stock 20150501 released
Changelog:
• The package has been tested (on my Nexus 5 using gapps-config to reduce the size) and all went fine. I can say it's safe to install.
• Google Play Music updated to version 5.9.1853R.1893462
• Google Play Newsstand updated to version 3.4.0 (2015040709)
• Google App (Search) updated to version 4.5.13.19.arm
• Maps updated to version 9.8.1
So are these gapps only for version 5.0.1? They will not flash on 5.1.1.
Yes, 5.0 only, 5.1 version will come out in the near future.
Bravo cumpà
A few suggestions:
- Mega.co.nz links are quite hard to download from smartphone (you need the app, it doesn't work using the browser)... I suggest to use androidfilehost instead
- Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/pa-gapps-continuation-t3098071 ... maybe you can join efforts and create a team
hi nice work
does it also contains 64bit apps

You don't need the app. Just enable "request desktop site" in Chrome settings.

i tried the stock_gapps-5.0.1-20150529 package on stock OnePlus cm12S latest official rom, and have FC on both gmail and calendar just after boot... attach logs...
as i was on a different gapps package, i've done what usually needs to be done:
wipe cache+dalvik+system
flashed stock rom+gapps (+kernel, mooab and supersu)
wipe cache+dalvik again

The problem is that your ROM includes some GApps in non standard paths and you now have Google Calendar and Gmail installed two times in /system. Can you test if also Google CloudPrint is crashing while I build and upload the new package?

never activated it, even if installed, but the constant FCs were of gmail and calendar... i can't try now, passed 2 hours in testing and now battery is gone and charging
do you plan to fix this, if you can? Other gapps packages don't install at all or i've to remove many apps because they fill the system partition (even if i successfully flashed about EVERYTHING using your package)...

GApps are meant to be installed on top of AOSP ROMs that do not include already some of the Google Apps. Your ROM is not an AOSP ROM, but my package is meant to be installed on top of Stock ROMs, that already include GApps. The problem is that your ROM not only includes some GApps, but they're also in the wrong location, and installing a GApps package would bring to conflicts. I updated my package to remove the GApps installed in your ROM too, so that there should be no more FCs. Also you'll gain another 34MB of space to include even more GApps to your config (you don't have to exclude TalkBack and Messenger anymore if you want). The updated package is currently uploading and will be available tomorrow or later today, depending on your timezone.

thanks a lot, you're great! There's no other packages that allow to keep gapps in rom updated in stock roms that already have them, like OPO cm12s...
i didn't remove those apps for lack of space (there are STILL 136mbs free, even though i flashed the big STOCK package and other personal stuff like franco kernel, mooab adblocker, maxxaudio and supersu, too)... i removed talkback because don't use it, and messenger because i use hangout, instead
what do you think of EMAIL? in stock rom it's named EMAIL, but it's really BOXER, the email client made by cyanogen and released as full app just for OPO... do i have to explicit put a line like "+Email" in config or it's left untouched, as email is the stub for the old email client made by google?
tomorrow i'll download and flash your new gapps package, thanks again!

Boxer will not be removed and +Email is unnecessary. However I added the Boxer keyword to remove the CM Email client if someone wants to.
Hi. I installed on my phone a maps api from this project http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715375
But it doesn't allow me to view maps within apps. Is there a way to install ONLY the api to make maps show inside apps WITHOUT flashing all the GApps? I know I can install apks from GApps by extracting them and move them to priv-app folder, then change their permissions, but how can I make it with the maps api?

I have the exact same question. It would be great to have maps within apps without installing GApps.
Hey,
I just installed cm13.1 by Team Superluminal on my mi4c. Somehow I can't find snapdragon Camera on my device. Can someone please post a flashable zi for the app. Regards
It's already the default camera app. No need to flash anything. To enable some more advanced feature though, tap 7 times on Screen Brightness option and it will unlock additional setting.
For me it is not installed the only camera app I can find is the Google camera. I used the open GApps stock package. Maybe this somehow replaces the default camera app?

I guess. In all of my flashing i install the mini package though.
So can anybody please extract the snapcamera app as zip or apk and post it here. Would help me a lot. I think it's possible using fe titanium backup.
Edit I tried reflashing the rom without GApps. No changes : Google camera remains the standard camera apk

You need to wipe before reflashing the ROM, otherwise Google Camera may remain.
Use a version of the GApps that does not contain Google Camera. Google Camera replaces your default Snapdragon Camera: https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison
hi :highfive:,Running CM14.1 and thanks to Alberto
i want to Uninstall Some CM apps , because i like the way new Google apps are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS
so i have installed several Googleapps ( which are having LONG PRESS OPTIONS) now when i goto my APP DRAWER i see many apps DOBULED (cm apps and Google apps - both are sitting sidebyside in my app drawer)
i dont want CMapps, soooo...
can i remove them?? if i remove them does CM14.1 start behaving wierd??
and another thing is i want Stock Google apps to take CMapps place like system apps
( i can manually goto ES explorer and change to systemapps, but i got a doubt!! )
do these new system-apps get Playstore updates?? as normal apps??
Things i want to remove:
CM - calender, contacts, phone(dialer), Filemanager, messenger, camera,caluculator,Clock,Gallery
-----------------
i want to replace all of them will Google apps and Moto apps
so can anyone suggest me things to do/ not to do???
are those apps mentioned above safe to remove/replace??
Use a Gapps package that is more complete... like Stock or Full, or maybe even Super but I'm not sure there is room in the system partition. Stock and Full will replace embedded apps with Google apps (look at the detail here). Otherwise you can use TiBu or something to write over the stock apps, but they will just get replaced again on the next nightly you flash.
The only thing you need to do is reflash the rom but now this time use Gapps aroma installer from opengapps.org in that zip you can do everything you want like selecting and removing apps. you can select which googleapp you want to use and which stock cm app you wnat to remove.
This is for those who does not really want all the fancy features that are present in Stock Touchwiz ROM and prefer to only have what is on Stock Android or Pixel-like experience.
All credits goes to the creator of each mod involved.
Requirements:
- Custom recovery like TWRP
- Rooted Phone (SuperSU / Magisk)
- File Manager with Root Access. I use Root Explorer
- OpenGApps (arm64,7.0) (package: stock/super/aroma) - This will enable some Nexus/Pixel exclusive features and install Google Apps that are preloaded on Nexus/Pixel Devices including apps that usually can't be installed as normal apk such as below:
- Google Phone
- Google Contacts
- Google Camera (Slow Motion isn't working)
- Google Now Card (swipe to right)
- Google Search Pill
- "OK Google" voice detection
Instructions:
* First thing to do is to flash OpenGApps via TWRP
Link: http://opengapps.org
* Install a navbar overlay from below thread to get Stock Android (AOSP) NavBar or Pixel NavBar. Install it as normal apk.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/themes/substratum-inversion-ui-overlay-overlays-t3604341
* Replace the stock Pixel Launcher (located at '/root/system/priv-app/NexusLauncherPrebuilt/NexusLauncherPrebuilt.apk') with this modded Launcher (link below). This launcher is basically the same as the stock Pixel Launcher with enabled features like round icons for app that supports it. More information on the original thread.
Link: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/launcher3-pixel-launcher-features-t3620972
* Below are some apps i'm using that are supported:
- Google Photos
- Google Play Music
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Google Calculator
- Google Keep
- Google News&Weather
- Google Playstore
- Google Drive
- Google Calendar
- Youtube
- Gmail
- XDA Labs
- XDA Feed
- Twitter
And now that you got all that is required to have a Pixel-like UI / Experience, it's time to make your ROM lightweight.
* Create a folder in your Internal Storage or SD Card named "system" and inside it, create folders "app" and "priv-app". This is to make sure that you can always revert back the changes that you'll make.
* Open your File Manager with root access and navigate to "root/system/app" or "root/system/priv-app"
This is where you can find all the installed apps in your system. In my case, what i do is "cut and paste" the whole folder to Internal Storage and then reboot to remove the bloat that i don't need.
I am currently on Renovate Ice ROM - r98 build (AQF7 FIRMWARE) and below is the list of what i have removed.

I am not getting any Force Closes / Crashes / Errors. Just make sure to reboot your device after cutting and pasting system apps to your Internal Storage.
When you realized that you needed something back, just copy and paste the whole folder to where you got them and set the correct permission.
For the folder, set the permission to "rwxr-xr-x".
For the apk inside, set the permission to "rw-r-r".
then reboot your device.
If you want to have an updated google apps as soon as it becomes available, you may download latest apks at apkmirror website then replace existing apk in the system, set the correct permission, and reboot. I've done it to almost all google apps without any issue.
I will try to update this thread to include all apps that can be removed based on stock firmware that's freshly installed.

Sweet! Could you please provide the applock apk. Thanks

Sweet, I've actually a similar setup, except I'm just freezing apps and didn't bother flashing Gapps.
Also I'd recommend modifying key layout and use ASSIST for the key function. Having Google assistant on bixby button is dope !

Yes. I am aware of that but i don't really need it as i am having a great battery life and performace. Also, it can easily be installed back in less than a minute if i want to.

I am Stock but rooted ROM, tried to flash Super GAPPS but its failed throwing ERROR 70 telling that GAPPS are already installed but in fact I haven't. Is this could be limitation due to STOCK ROM?

I am always getting that message even with custom roms but it always proceed anyway. I also have tried flashing gapps on stock rooted rom successfully before on my S8. Maybe your gapps is corrupt or not fully downloaded.

You can. Download shortcutter, grant it necessary permissions. Add a battery tile from shortcutter to the quick settings and anytime you click on it, it takes you to the battery stats. I have also disabled device manager.

I got the "stock" gapps package and can confirm that it works on stock rooted rom.
