Sorry for the Noob-lines...I flash roms many years now.. For Nexus 5 I used recently some roms that they had prebuiled Gapps in them..So when I finally booted the phone it was clear with Google Messaging app, Google dialer and Google Contacts, Google Chrome, Google Gmail... There where no sign of the stock AOSP apps (like the AOSP email app, AOSP browser, etc). The best of this part is that you have no concern to get rid of them because there wheren' t there.. But the latest builds for all the roms are without prebuilded Gapps and so you have to flash them yourself.. My question is which Gapps should I flash to replace all the AOSP apps with the Google one's?

Hi.
After I rooted the N1 to CyanogenMod 5.0 I lost all the google apps, Multitouch and GPS/location.
Any tips/clue how to get them back?
cheers!
install the google addon that comes seperate with his ROM. make sure you wiped coming from stock/or any other ROM.
I am on CM10 with standard gapps. Can I flash an inverted gapps over the standard gapps without wiping? Will I still be able to update gapps through the play store or do I have to wait for someone to upload updated inverted gapps?
Yes you can wipe standard gapps without wiping. I flashed Contacts and MMS from here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/29460-in...-10-13-gmail42-play-store-google-youtube4123/
When you update gapps, it will probably overwrite the inverted gapps, so you would have to flash the inverted again. There aren't many official gapp updates anyways. Anytime there is a CM10 update, you need to reflash. Also obviously, if in the play store has an update, and you update - when your reflash, it will be exactly the same as the previous inverted mms you have or whatever inverted app, and won't have any of the updates/bug fixes that the play store version had.
An example is there is a new gmail coming out soon. If you update from the play store, you will get the new gmail, with the stock look. When you reflash inverted gapps, you will get the same inverted gmail you had before and not have the new features of gmail like pinch zoom and swipe to archive until the person who created the inverted gapps updates it.
Also just curious, what gapps are you going to flash?
Flashed with these:

So far so good
it includes the new play store and gmail 4.2.
I should have read more closely and seen that it had some junk with it miui music player for example. Nothing esfile explorer can't remove though.
It also removes some market restrictions at the expense of automatic updates but I'm not too worried about that since I usually end up updating manually before google slowly pushes out the update.
I already cleared the old apps from my app list, best addition to 3.9.16 market.
I take that back ran into a few problems with apps crashing. Maybe not such a good idea.
SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
No one?
A little more information, please? What ROM were you flashing? What gapps? Etc etc
Wipe, flash your rom that includes stock messenger, install nano pa gapps (google play services and google search), install other needed gapps by google play.

okay to summarize, i installed cm-12 on my one plus, after that i literally had 10 apps. i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
to get all my google services, it does come with a messenger app but it is not the stock one.
I wanted the stock messenger app that comes with the OnePlus it is not in the play-store
hope i can get some help thank you
note its not just the default messenger app i wanted there are some small apps like torchlight that come with the one plus that are great and not 3rd party
Did you make a backup of CM11S before flashing CM12? If so, just restore your backup and you can extract the apps using a root-enabled file explorer.
I think, what he's talking about is the stock 4.4.4 messenger. Just download a 4.4.4 ROM and extract the apk from it, and then install it on CM12.
Hello, is possible remove all traces of Gapps in Rom Stock? (99% aosp rom). I dont want google play, google services, youtube, gmail etc... but i dont want another rom like CM, I want my rom stock. How I can do? With root, but, how?
Hello has anyone got a way working for this phone to install just the Google Play Store (and play services given those will probably be needed for it to work) without having to install a bunch of extra apps in the process?
I'm aware gapps packages exist but those usually override many AOSP variants of apps and introduce features which I don't need.
Choose a Vanilla AOSP rom.

Vanilla AOSP don't come with anything google at all, what I'm asking is that from that starting point how would I go about installing the Google Play Store and whatever else it needs to work on it.
For example with Nikgapps choose core
