In this guide, we will show you the steps to create your own flashable GApps ZIP package. GApps, the acronym for Google Apps, is a bundled package consisting of numerous Google Apps, Services, and Framework. They are mostly used while dealing with custom ROMs. These ROMs are segregated into two domains- Vanilla and GApp builds. The former provides a de-Googled ecosystem, bereft of any Google apps [LineageOS is a perfect example of the same].<\/p>\n

So if you are flashing a Vanilla ROM and want to have Google Apps installed, then your best bet is to flash a GApps package. Regarding this, there exist numerous bundles depending on the number of apps that they behold. If we talk about NikGApps, then they have Core, Basic, Omni, Stock, and Full wherein Core has the least whereas Full has the most number of Google Apps.<\/p>\n

While five different bundles of GApps should be sufficient, but it might not be able to checkmark the prerequisites of all the users. If you are among them, then you do have the option to create your GApps package. You’ll start from scratch and have complete liberty to add desired apps to the package, which could then simply be downloaded and flashed via the recovery. So without any further ado, let’s show you how this could be carried out.<\/p>\n
