Clean ROM with minimal GAPPS - OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi folks,
My dream is to have a minimal ROM installed, like Havoc OS without Gapps, but to able to install the minimal GAPPS to run Google Maps.
I tried HavocOS with MagisGapps, stuck at boot. BITGapps fails with sideload/package.zip (status 1), Nikgapps OMNI does not work.
Any recommendation how should I do?
And what is needed to run Maps btw? Because I tried with core Nikgapps and I installed Maps from Play Store, but it does not work.

Did you try MindTheGapps? Run this with Lineage and you will have the smallest ROM possible.

You can use any rom you like. Remove anything google related or dont install any gapps and use microG instead.

installing gapps on custom ROMS

When I first installed CM 11 M1 from stock kitkat, I didn't have the playstore, so I had to download the gapps package.
Ever since CM 11 M1, I've tried different custom roms, but everytime I flashed them from the custom recovery, they all came with the playstore.
Should I be installing the gapps from the package?? Or can I just install the apps from the playstore??
Either way works. From the play store you can pick and choose what you install and can be uninstalled without jumping through hoops because they install as user apps. When you flash gapps, they typically go in as system apps and are a bit more troublesome to get rid of if you don't want everything in the package.

Addition to what said above, just open the gapps package ade delete which ever apks you don't need. This way you can get rid of the apps you don't want to install as system app. To me, modular PA gapps or banks core gapps is enough. You don't need to flash full package gapps.

This is because gapps has updater script and as long as you won't manually format system your previously installed gapps will remain in a new rom. (including play store)
Installing apps from gapps package via recovery will install the apps to system partition.
Installing apps from play store will install them to user data partition.
In order to save space in user data I recommend installing the gapps you need to system partition via recovery.
Thanks for info guys :good::laugh:

Gapps on Chinese ROM

I installed the new 18s ch/en on my 2pro, works very well but I can´t manage to install Gapps.
Tried the MIUI Installer which stops on 79% while installing Play Service
Tried the "manual Gapps" Installation, the 6 apk to install sequentially 1--->6, no gapps on the Phone...
Tried two open gapps Micro and Nano, after Reboot there´s a Icon "Play" but nothing happens when I click on it.
Any further ideas how to get the f******* Gapps to work on my phone?

CM 14.1 GApps Issue

I had CM13 on my Nexus 4, which worked ok.
I updated my Nexus 4 from CM 13 to CM 14.1 ( Google 7.1 base)., an overwrite update. The phone is sane but not surprising the Google Apps including the playstore are dying. I assume I need to update the exisiting Gapps to 7.1 and further assume the OpenGapps 7.1 arm stock is the right one.
The Gapps 7.1 installer terminates for insufficient space. The Nexus 4 has a 828MB system partition with 237MB availalble. Although the log shows no existing Gapps, it finds about 180MB of items to remove but is still 481MB short of being able to do the installs.
I've tried excluding as much as I can in the Gapps flash, but I'm still about 280MB short. Is there anything I can do other than wiping the phone, repartitioning and starting CM14.1 from scratch?
OpenGApps Stock package is way too big for a successful install, use Pico one. Restore your CM13 backup (assuming you made one) and flash CM14.1 nightly and Gapps both at the same go without rebooting the device. In case you didn't made the backup, factory reset is needed before flashing.

Thanks!
Actually since I didn't have a CM13 backup I just went and flashed pico on my CM14.1. It seems to have worked and solved the problem.
I also added GEL via the play store and have OK GOOGLE working too., as well as Google Calender and Youtube. I don't know what else I use that pico left out. I don't use the Google branded media and game apps.

Phone restarting after installing Certain apps

I recently flashed my ROM to Resurrection remix named RR-N-v5.8.5-20170925-a6000-Final and installed gapps named open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20171022 then I installed some apps from play store. SOme apps like Backdrops after installation makes my phone to restart and whet it boots up it shows "google has stopped responding " also "process system is not responding" and then is restarts again. I tried reflashing several times but nothing seems to work.
1. Wipe Art/cache system, data, internal
2. Install HEX Firmware
3. Install 5.8.5 RR
4. Install arm 7.1 pico gapps
5. wipe cache and reboot.
Rom take some time to Battery Collaboration and Performance.
so keep patience and enjoy.

How can I install the firmware?
The link of hex firmware is in RR thread. And you flashed marshmallow gapps on a nougat rom. Flash arm 7.1 gapps.

Still the same problem
I think the problem is with new playstore every time I download certain apps it crashes.

First, I would like you to know that you DID NOT follow the instructions correctly. INSTRUCTIONS said, you will flash Opengapps 7.1.X ARM not 6.0 Marshmallow. Links were already given but still you did not follow.
Download the correct gapps package - ARM > 7.1 > Pico.
Code:
http://opengapps.org
Dirty flash it but if there's still an issue, you can clean install your RR 5.8.5 Final again and flash the gapps 7.1.
Good luck!

Gapps...

What's the difference btwn GZR gapps and open gapps....
I have googled everything and get nothing...
After searching there is a new gapps confused me i.e., bean gapps
Please give me a clarity of these all gapps mainly GZR and opene gapps...
And also which gapps are better...?
GZR gapps is ground zero roms gapps. Some custom roms prefer gzr gapps than opengapps. The required gapps will be mentioned in the op of corresponding roms
As @william.johhn7! said....
GZR are Ground zero gapps.
Bean Gapps are also there.
As far as I understand they have difference in package building method which I don't know if affects the quality or performance much.
Open Gapps are mostly used but sometimes there are also some devs who tell you to flash specific gapps but even still I have flashed Open Gapps without any problem.
As for which Gapps are better It depends on your preference if you like all apps from google in your device or not. I always use Pico Gapps because we can always install any gapp we need from play store. And sometimes stock gapps can cause problems too which never happened with me btw.
And finally there is also another gapps called "Micro Gapps" which are not the Micro Open Gapps but something else. "Micro Gapps" doesn't have Any app of google. Not even play store. Basically It stared as a thought "Let's free pure Android form Google's bloatwares" As far as I know they will only sync your contacts from google nothing else will be there.
