[Q] Gapps in Android

Hi, for testing purposes i installed the lastest omnirom on my device (jflte).
In the installation guide it says that the gapps are installed seperately with a zip after installing omnirom (similar to cyanogenmod).
But after starting my device i noticed that gapps are actually already on my device, same for the jflte rom of cyanogenmod. In TWRP i made a complete wipe just to be sure. Did i do something wrong? I'd rather choose the gapps package i want to install or not instead having them preinstalled on my device.
So, are the gapps are really prebuilt in the custom rom i loaded? Or are there any other i missed? Anyway, is there a way for me to remove it, either removing the whole package after installation or by building a custom rom, and is there a common and safe way to do that, or is it even enough to remove only the apks.

Wipe the /system partition to remove Gapps - Omni doesn't include Gapps. Neither does CM. But both have a script that will restore your old ones from previously. Just use TWRP to wipe /system and you can do it. Or remove /system/etc/addon.d and they will be gone after a reflash

Nexus 7 2012 can't install GApps

Hi, i have on my N7-2012 TWRP 3.0.2.
I did Advanced Wipe for all partitions, and Format Data. I changed /data and /cache to f2fs and flashed a Nougat ROM from this form (DirtyUnicorn) I had no troubles.
I wiped system again (to avoid space problems during the flash of Gapps) and tried to flash GApps 'open_gapps_arm7.0-micro-20161018.zip', but i got this error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 7.0.x ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 5.1.1 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
- Copying log to /usb-otg/Nexus 7 Asus
- NO changes were made to your device
Install will now exit...
Error code: 20
- Unmounting
I tried with other nougat ROM such as Carbon but i got the same error. The weirdness is that i tried also with a MM rom, and tried to flash GApps for MM... again, same error! He ask for a 5.1.1 GApps! So strange.
So, only for my curiosity, i reflashed DU ROm, downloaded and flashed GApps for 5.1.1. First time, i got the error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 5.1.1 ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 7.0.0 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
i tried again and flash worked, i rebooted the device and..... bootloop... obviously.
Can you help me?
UPDATE: i forget to say that i tried also with: nano and pico gapps, and Banks Gapps. Same problem. if i reboot the device without gapps the rom work but if i download apk play store and install it doesn't work when i open it.
pls, noone can help me? :crying:

Are you wiping "system" after installing the ROM? If so, you are effectively removing the ROM you just installed which leaves the GAPPS script nothing to detect to install. The proper install would be: Flash ROM and the Flash Gapps (usually pico or nano to save space) and then reboot, no wiping in between.
I had this issue no matter what rom I tried after flashing an android 7.0 rom. I just did a factory reset by flashing back to a factory image now everything seems fine and google apps are working again.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 but used kit kat 4.4.4 image and didn't lock the boot loader. Then flash the recovery of your choice again and your good to go.

Yes i wiped /system cause after the flash of the ROM when i try to install GApps i get error "not enough space". I followed the tips of a xda GUIDE wiping /system
@dinotyped: Are you telling me that there's no way to have Nougat on my N7? :crying::crying:
@qwerweteryu You should be able to use Nougat roms ok. I've not tried again. I'll likely stick to marshmallow for the time being just because of personal preference.

Stick with "Pico" (or possibly) "Nano" Gapps to make sure you have enough space after flashing the ROM. You can always go back after booting / setting up and install the other Google Apps that you want.

Download and install TWRP below, it's the 64bit version and you can install via TWRP. In the menu of installing ROMs in TWRP choose the option to install .img, choose TWRP and install, then choose the ROM you want and install. Remember that you must erase everything and format the data.

Yeah
Flash 64 bit twrp . And don't forget to reboot into twrp again after flashing 64 bit twrp .
This problem is because of your 32 bit twrp.
Try installing 64bit twrp recovery . Then u wil b able to flash rom. Please note that twrp 3.1.0 is 32 bit and twrp 3.1.1 is 64 bit.
Please tell me marshmallow rom

I think its a very common mistake everybody does.
before installing any custom ROM make sure that u wipe Dalvik cache and cache of the device then flash the rom and gaps also.
And another major issue with the custom ROM requirements like that ROM support in one minimum version of TWRP recovery
if u install that ROM bellows the version of requirements the ROM will not install properly.

Download twrp updater from playstore, download 3.2.1.0 the latest as 3.1.1.1 will not mount your storage use twrp updater to flash official TWRP that i mentioned above
Then if you are on stock rom then take backup in some external drive and place रोम and gapps too,
Then do format data in wiping section, do it thrice and then wipe delvik, cache, data, system and internal storage too now mount external dtive(either OTG or SD card) and flash rom followed by gapps 7.1 pico
As I writing my experience as I am currently on RR ROM

What do I need to install a custom rom from android stock 8.1?

hello, I'm in android stock oreo 8.1 (OPSS28.85-13-5)
I already have unlocked the bootloader. Now I need to install twrp recovery and install a custom rom.
What is going on now? I need to know something else, before installing a custom rom? Which twrp do I need to use in oreo? and the custom roms are installed in the same way?
Thank you.

Flash TWRP using fastboot. Backup everything from TWRP as soon as it opens as that is a huge help if something goes south. Copy that backup somewhere safe. Then do an internal wipe before installing a custom rom as sometimes the system size is shown wrong from within the android settings. Some roms require gapps seperately while other have included. Flash magisk for root.
Latest TWRP is 3.2.3-1.
Custom roms have the same installation process.. wipe sytem, data, cache and dalvik.
Also check the custom rom base before installing.

I'm sorry for my lack of accuracy.
Steps for flashing rom would be appreciated here. I already have custom Recovery. Gonna update Recovery too but no problem with that. Thank you.
This question is for the wise people around here:
What gapps should I install for this rom (Lineage 18.1)?
-TWRP updated to 3.5.2_9-0
-Backed up system running Fenix Rom V2 (in case I screw up)
I have a doubt about a zip file named 181-gt510wifi-july-10.zip. what is it for?
Should I install it? If yes, before or after rom install?
Any suggestions? Thank you.
