Google Apps
aka gapps are the android applications written and maintained by Google Inc.
This software for Android is closed-source (so devs don't like include them in their own roms).
What's the latest version?
The latest version is: 20101020 (20th oct).
New update: mdpi-20101225 (GingerBread supported) thanks arco68
Which version of Android OS are 'em written for?
GApps follow the android upgrades, latest versions are written for Android 2.2 (Froyo).
If you run Android 2.1 (Eclair), you should install ERE36B; previous versions (1.5/1.6) can run this: DRC83 (Must be flashed before the ROM). NOT TESTED YET
After installing ERE36B or DRC83 you should be able to update some app (like maps) from the market.
If you have a donut/eclair rooted phone, google could send you a market update (vers. 2007) remove update from "settings" because it's a froyo version and will never work fine.
Why mdpi?
There are 3 kind of density: high (hdpi, like passion), medium (like Dream/Sapphire) and low (our phone).
Sadly doesn't exist a ldpi pack, but mdpi should works fine..
Where is the Android Market? Is it patched?
The Android Market (Vending.apk) is as it comes from BigG, not a patched version.
How to install?
1)Download this package:
* 20101020 (16,7MB)

2) copy it into the sd card
3) reboot in recovery

maybe a good idea, cos it is my experience that many people, from this or that reason finds older versions, or particular version of much more use then the current/most updated once (F.E. I remember reading that a number of users found "ChromeToPhone working & useful). Just imagine how much android market would be enhanced if you would be offered a choice of what version of app. you want, not only the newest one...
with hope that this thread could evolve into something...Great?

I flashed these apps and now my market doesn't work anymore.
I can search for apps, view their description, but download/update does not start.
Progressbar appears and after a minute, "download unsuccessful" appears..
I use SPQRom 0.5 and market did work before I flash these gapps.
Any Help?
Still no gapps

No, this is the lite version. Once I'm done with the newer build I could make you a metamoph file so you can have the pro version look like that. Just send me a pm if interested.

HI Guys,
i installed this rom: [Aug 04, 12][ICS-ROM] iCyanogen 1.1 [Fast-Stable-Bravia-Xloud][tytung_HWA_r3.3]
I really love this ROM, its fast stable and looks very nice. One Problem i detected unfortunately. There is no Google Market installed, so i am not able to install appz to my HD2 Phone.
So i go on and loaded gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip. I installed this in recovery Mod and after reboot my Android Framework always crashes. I guess its the wrong Gapps Version i installed. Can someone tell me which version to use with iCyanogen 1.1?
thx a lot!
This rom has fm radio?

you can search for modded google market
theres a couple 3.4.7 modded markets that can be used and they wont update
to the newest market
When I updated to version 1.2, Google Play didn't show up either. But I wiped cache and reinstalled and it showed up. I think it's much smoother than 1.1 also.
try to reinstall the rom and do a clean install, ive had the exact same problem with MIUI
This is interesting! Cyanogen released their own install zip, called c-apps, that you can use to drop the proprietary CyanogenOS apps like the themers and the new (hated) dialer on a cyanogenmod ROM. I tested on my sultanxda/caf 12.1 and everything works.
http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog/introducing-the-cyanogen-apps-package
Many CM community users may be familiar with Cyanogen OS, the certified commercial version that comes preloaded on retail smartphones such as the OnePlus One, WileyFox, ZUK Z1, Andromax Q, and YU branded devices.
Cyanogen OS includes a variety of apps and services that leverage CyanogenMod’s open platform. As CM users, these apps were previously unavailable to you unless you bought a Cyanogen OS powered retail phone. Starting today, we’re announcing the release of the Cyanogen Apps Package (C-Apps).
C-Apps is being offered as an optional download and will not be preinstalled on CyanogenMod releases. This package will allow you to take your existing devices running CM 12.1, and make them more like the Cyanogen OS experience. The latest version of CM 12.1 is required for C-Apps to run properly.
Download and wiki instructions are located at the bottom of this post. The following features are included in the initial C-Apps Package:
Theme Chooser with per-app theming
Theme Store
AudioFX
Cyanogen Accounts
Gallery
Dialer with TrueCaller integration
Email powered by Boxer

Guess it misses that weird browser fork though, so far.
[20.11.2015 edit] And it looks like they removed Boxer from the package at some point, because it's gone now.

copy both folders themechoser and themestore folders from zip and place them in /system/priv-app folder and change permission to rw-r-r
One main app is not included. CameraNext why ?
.zip works great on temasek 18.3 CAF only thing I changed was putting the original dialer back in place after flashing.
Has anyone tried this on CM 13?

Thanks! I'll go ahead a grab the Theme Store apk alone.
after installing this zip package I can't answer the phone and make call! why? what can I do to solve this problem?
Check phone settings and app settings ( Truecaller ) on that package , if you installed full zip it includes Truecaller / dialer on it , did it replace your original phone / dialer apps or does it give you option to pick your default phone / dialer apps? I would reboot and check settingsr and in privacy guard on new app Truecaller and go from there, again not familar with True caller but since its replacing original app , reboot , check all settings applicable ,default and privacy guard as well, may have to alter permissions on new app . Good Luck !!

Already had a thread on this in Q&A, my friend
is the email client the full client like in the CM rom
if yes, how can i install only the email client ?
Does it work with cm13?
Looks like the package doesn't carry Boxer the e-mail client anymore.

that was the only reason why I flashed it... and they removed it... how nice.
Does anyone have an older version with Boxer included? I had a zip with just boxer from another thread in XDA but I can't remember where!
i got bootloop after flashing the package
just want the theme apps
anyone got the same problem with me??
NB:
1. I've flashing the universal them but it has no theme store
2. Already install (also manual push) theme store but wont open (did i miss something??)
Hey there!
We all were waiting for official CAPPS support for CM 13 and wait is over. Cyanogen has officially released CAPPS for CM 13. You may download it from official capps website mention below. Make sure you are on latest build after May 9th atleast to make this work. Please backup your ROM before flashing it with any custom recovery.
Link: https://cyngn.com/c-apps
Please let me know how does it go.
Thanks

Use is since 2 days... Flawlessly
I would love to have a version without AudioFX and Gallery, because I really like the current versions in CM13
U can freeze them!
Any best app to freeze the local and system apps??

Im using Titanium Backup anyway.. so im using this one
I don't really understand why I should use those, all the play store google apps are great, regularly updated, and doesn't run as system apps...
I only use the Theme App for App individual theming
