You have to download the GAPPS zip which contains google add-ons. These are not included in the actual rom itself and are flashed after the rom if required.

Correct. Google specifically asked for the GApps to be removed from the default CM Roms, though you can always reflash them back in.

@galaxyfreak .. Pls press thanks.. I want my first thanks from u
"Ok Google " Keyword
Found a way to get OK GOOGLE keyword to work on pico using @galaxyfreak 's CM11:victory:
go to build prop
find the line :
ro.config.low_ram=true
change this to
ro.config.low_ram=false
Save and reboot..
If you want it in your homescreen , just set google now launcher as your default launcher..
Its that simple:victory:
Google now launcher
Google now launcher is included in full gapps.. or you can download it from somewhere else..
without the launcher you can only use the keyword when on the google now app
browser crash
the original browser even can't launch. All the app with webview carsh.
thanks
that bug are in beta5.
RC1 is great but GPS is not working.

Here are the answers:
1. As of now overclock kernel is not available for RC1 you can use cody kernel : Here
2. Apps are removed in the package so that basic services are installed in our /system partition as our /system has less space.
You can download from playstore..
3. Yes. Play services are needed as this services contains syncing services for calender,gmail etc. This services are also needed for the play store and connect your google account to google servers..
In short its very imp and indeed needed.

What about the calender? it doesn't sync. And BTW how to flash that kernel n00b.

I think it should sync.. Open the calender app.. then in settings connect your account.. I never used it so dont know if it will work for you or not..
To flash the kernel you need to have 2 partitions.. SD ext and sd-cache.. Total 3 - fat32-ext4(SD-Data)-ext4(SD cache)(65mb)
I hope you know how to make partitions..
After making partitions only you can use this oc kernel..
If you are palnning to this..
Then take a backup of your ROM..
Partition you card..
Restore the backup.. Reboot once..
Thne flash the kernel..
I just registered to xda, rooted phone like a week ago, had no need to post since community is awesome. But, for now I can't post links. Sucks ass.
Anywhore, calendar sync..
Whore it was to get it to work. I did it. Now, what you need is surprisingly simple:
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
Google it, its 140KB apk and install it like any other app. With it calendar works like a charm.
BTW, galaxyfreak, awesome kitkat, looove it! Cant wait for RC2, but since it won't get on any time soon and this RC1 isn't bad at all, you will get a lapdance, my treat
Move to Kirmani's Weeklies
Since galaxyfreak has stopped his work on Kitkat, move to @kirmaniarslan's Weekly CM11..
More smooth than galaxyfreak's rom as it does not have any frame capping..
No bugs to specify..:fingers-crossed:

In these gapps there are only the AOSP Quick Search Box and Play Store from wich you can install every other gapp and app.
In these gapps there are:
- minimum core gapps
- lib to solve the swype problem of the AOSP keyboard
- Quick Search Box
- Play Store
These gapps are working with ART and they are compatible with recoveries not supporting set_metadata.

edit : one more question... with other minimal gapps, if you use an aosp rom, you also have to flash aosp calendar sync. is it the same with your gapps?
thanks
Exactly what I was looking for, does this contain whatever files needed for google tts and search to work? And if not, can someone tell me what files are needed, along with location and permissions. Thank you

In these gapps there is not google calendar sync and there is no problem with any aosp rom, if you need google calendar sync then you have to flash it.

Gapps updated for latest versions of cm11.
By installing the old gapps on the CM11 after the m5 the call logs was not working.
your gapps don't have contact sync with gmail/google contacts??
I must have this functionality
I wanna install CM11 on my droid4
already I have your Mentor's Rom + patched BMM
maybe U have all-in-one CM11 rom (cm11+bmm-patch+gsm+gapps)??
No in my gapps there is not any google sync funcionality and i do not have any all-in-one cm11 rom.
In the latest update i removed the facebook sync fix.
I don't really like the apps which are coming with custom roms. This is the reason why I created this tool. The tool deletes some apps of these roms and brings some fresh things like the Pixel Launcher/Bootanimation, the GoogleAssistant... I hope you like my work and give me feedback This script works on all devices which are running Android 7.1 Nougat.

Do I realy need to install Root?
Since all CM based ROMS are already pre-rooted.

Yeah I'm sorry for that but SuperSU disables dm-verity. This is necessary for GoogleAssistant to work. If you don't want GoogleAssistant you can install my file without SuperSU. If someone knows how to disable dm-verity or knows a kernel which has that feature please contact me

This is because this script removes calendar. Sorry for that. I will send the Calendar.apk to you tomorrow if you don't mind
Good idea but you should add alternative apps to ones you're removing.

Probably I will add Aroma Installer and some apps that you can choose whatever you like. I did this earlier on another device so that wouldn't be a Problem
Please add wallpaper, live wallpaper and pixel icon. Phone and Messenger also.
Aroma installer will make it perfect!!!

it is the official site of @Chainfire with all official releases of SuperSU. least you can do is Link to him instead of your private link. also its the latest version so compatible with every version of Android for our device ESPECIALLY CM 14.1. i dont want to be rude but proper credits have to be given when using someone's work and dont remirror files.
@peshellas When I'm home i will change this and add thanks and credits. And btw I just used the download link above because I wasn't sure if the official .zip would work because they have different build numbers and the one from the downloadlink seemed to be newer. And the download link isn't mine I just took the link from a site which uploaded this file.

Pixel-2-Launcher apk & flashable zip from Google pixel 2 (either ftom Android Oreo 8.0 or Android Oreo 8.1 DP1)
Flashable zip will enable Google now integration & simple apk will not include Google now integration.
How to..
Flash Pixel-2-Launcher zip from TWRP (as system app)
Or install Pixel-2-Launcher apk as user app.
Download:
From attachments
Any of following
Pixel 2 Launcher from Android Oreo 8.0
Pixel 2 Launcher from Android Oreo 8.1 DP1
Note: All features are working only in android oreo based ROMs. I tested all files in Nougat & Oreo based custom ROMs. Some users are reporting that app is crashing in marshmallow based ROMs. You need to give location permission manually to get weather data as launcher is not asking location permission but by default all permission are set off.
Sources: APKMIRROR
How to uninstall?
Flash Pixel-2-launcher-uninstaller (file from attachment) using TWRP or other custom recovery.
Magisk module of original Pixel 2 launcher for systemless installation is available here:

It's same as original. Use it only if original version can't be installed. Like in some custom ROMs. So if original version is working, no need to install modified one.

Thanks for letting me know.
I only asked because the notification dots were working in the Pixel Launcher 7.1.2.
I have a Nokia 8. I guess I will have to wait for Android O update to get this feature back.

I have the original installed on my current ROM (current unofficial DU for Galaxy Nexus). While I don't have the Oreo-style notifications, it's actually cleaner than the original Pixel Launcher. I will likely swap the flashable version to gain Google Now integration - and I definitely like the cleaner approach this launcher takes compared to the launcher from the original Pixel.
Doesn't work on my Galaxy S8+
It keeps crashing at launch :/
But thanks for sharing !

I actually first saw about the launcher on Android Authority and downloaded this few mins ago.. and now using it?
Not working for me sony xperia Z2 6.1mm
I flashed by recovery
Not working neither in my Blackview R6 (Mediatek chip) with Android 6.
When I open the launcher, it crashes.
But the idea it was good, so, ny other option is continue using the older version Pixel Launcher that works good in my device
Thanks Dr. bathman, Flashable zip works fine on Oneplus one Nougat Tugapower 50.
