Hi Guys,
I am planning to flash Cyanogenmod 12 onto my S5 but before I do that I would like to know how to achieve a minimal install of Gapps.
What I would like to get is the Play Store and any other required service (like syncing etc...) and then install only the gapps I need directly from the play store.
I have searched the forum and the internet with no luck and I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
Thank you

Hello peoples!
First, allow me to kick myself for buying a Chinese phone. OUCH. There, moving on.
I have the Note 4 model SM-N9108V, Android v5.1.1, and it's been a complete nightmare to deal with it. (IT DOES NOT HAVE GOOGLE PLAY!) It seems this is the least common model out there on the internet. I have been able to find guides for all versions of the Note4, but for my version is very difficult.
After some brick scares, I was finally able to root my phone, install ClockworkMod Recovery and Open GApps. While it's "usable" now, some things still don't work. For example, The automatic Google Sync just does not work for some reason. I have to go on Settings and automatically click on everything to sync (calendar, contacts, etc).
So, I'm guessing my only option is to flash a custom ROM. But I can't find ROMs specifically for this device....
What are my options here? Can I install CyanogenMod made for the international version? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM out there in the wild that I'm not aware of?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
TL ; DR Which custom ROMs are there for the SM-N9108V? Is there a Android 5/6 Stock ROM available? Can I install the CyanogenMod for another Note4 version?

Hello.
Allow me also to kick myself since i bought also this stupid version of Note 4. And imagine i exchange it with a S5. What a deal!
Anyway, there is a very nice MIUI ROM (xiaomi style) for this phone, see my post here where i collected all the posts explaining how to do it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66904680&postcount=2
Also you can root it and install also google play and everything is working fine.
Except the 3G and 4G! in my case they are not working well, i have drop calls, no data connection etc..
Can you tell me, do you operate the phone outside China? is it working ok on 3G?

Chinese galaxy note 4 gapps that work!!
Hi. It's been.a while since I've seen this post, looking for a solution for this phone. I finally got it working properly with all the Google apps.
After installing TWERP, I have tried many different gapps packages but always had the same result. Google apps crashing over and over again. I have finally found the right one and made my phone fully functional.
baNkS’s Dynamic*Gapps for Marshmallow*(279 MB)
This being my first ever post on this forum, I am bot allowed to post any outside links. But you should be able to Google it.
In the description, it says that the built-in script detects the chipset and installs the correct set.
Upon installation and restart, the Google services still crashed every couple of seconds but I was able to sign into my Google account. And, after an update, everything was fine.
I hope you find this useful, since it's an old post
Hello there,
Brand new user at rooting, flashing etc- bricked phone a couple of times and took me a week to sort (pheeew) but now have CM 13 Marshmallow installed.

Hi guys.
I'm using LineageOS' latest build as of today 06/05/17 with Open Gapps.
I'm trying to find a configuration of installed apps that matches as best as possible that of the stock G4 (Nougat). I've no idea about the background services or which stock apps to remove (I'm using the aroma installer version of Gapps as none of the others fit what I want closely enough). Does anybody have any app choice recommendations for me?
Thanks.

Hello all!
I have been using my Nexus 7 (2012 Grouper) almost consistently ever since I bought it in early 2014. As with other users, I tried updating to Lollipop and Marshmallow, found them unusable slow, and rolled back to 4.4.4. I've been using 4.4.4 ever since but now with the core Google apps and play services getting heavier even 4.4.4 is becoming sluggish. I'm considering switching to a custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod, but to be honest I'm a little overwhelmed by all the content here on the XDA forums. Further complicating matters is the fact that apparently Cyanogenmod is no more - all links to Wiki and files are all dead.
So I guess my question is, whats a good, stable, light ROM available today that can will work for the Nexus7? I;m really only interested in using Chrome, and PDF readers on WiFi - I would not really care for NFC or even the camera.
Second, I have used ADB to lock / unlock bootloader and flash recovery images (from Google) before. What would be a good starting point to start reading about how to install TWRP (which most custom ROMs seem to require), enabling root, etc?
I recommend LineageOS 14.1 by @aaopt. Runs really smooth without gapps. I use yalp store to download the few apps I want on it.

Thanks @Charles IV! Especially for Yalp Store. I was concerned that the new Google Play Services would grind any OS into the ground.
Unfortunately I'm a noob at flashing custom ROMS. What is a good place to start reading about the process? I'm currently looking at the instructions for CyanogenMod but a lot of the links are either broken or incomplete now.

look at the lineage wiki for any device, they are mostly the same, but sometimes different, so look at a nexus devices guide.
If you want ota updates as well, I've got a server running at download.charles-iv.uk, but beware that this is run from my pc so there might be a bit of downtime.
If you're not bothered, head over here once you're set up with twrp and all. Just beware @aaopt probably has real life stuff so updates won't be regular.
I put Unofficial Slimkat 9.2 on my son's grouper and he loves it. I has gapps included. Great for minecraft I'm told
I have nAOSP 7.1.1 on mine. If you want Play Services without lag, just download and flash the OpenGapps Pico zip onto your device, like I did. Still lags a little bit, but not as bad as Lollipop.
Some days ago the meizu m2 of my brother started having problems with the google apps not working any more (completely white screen in Play store and nothing working well). For this reason I decided to unlock its bootloader and install Lineage OS but after flashing Open Gapps I noticed that the google apps keep crashing all the time.
Looking around these forums I noticed that there are a lot of people with the same problem and for this reason I wanted to open this thread to collect all the discussions on the problem and to track any possible news about the problem itself and possible solutions if found.
I think that the cause of the problem may be Google discontinuing support to Gapps on phones not certified (I read some news on this topic some months ago).
I would like to know if someone has already found a solution for the problem to make the Phone usable again with the original Flyme OS or also a custom rom.
Thanks in advance.
[UPDATE] As a first solution for now I installed an old version of the gapps (You can find all the open gapps by date on the tags of the open gapps repository on github i.e: https://github.com/opengapps/arm64/tags?after=20180622) like suggested by someone on other threads. It seems to work for now because just after installation I deactivated the play store from the system settings so that google play services cannot be updated. I use yalp store (available on f-droid) to install apps from the play store
hello , i have a same problem,
this problem is with OpenGAPPS and MindTheGapps with 4 testing roms (Lineage, Viper, CrDroidAndroid, Resurrection_Remix),
in original Flyme OS is same problem.
I've tried Lineage 14, Resurrection Remix, Viper OS, Lineage 12, MIUI and everywhere Google Play Services crashes. As "whole m2 development is dead now" there is no hope that this will be solved.
At the end I installed AOSP 8.1 and it all working fine.:fingers-crossed:
Let me check it and find a solution for this. I will remind you guys what we can do to use it without issues if i found some. M2 is a secondary phone for me now. So let me try.
Updated first post with a possible solution
Uninstall the update (google & google play services), and turn off "auto update" on play store. Hopefully it can help.

Could you specify exactly which open gapps version you used (5.0-9.0?, nano/pico?)
And did you install open gapps on the Lineage OS you already had flashed on or onto stock ROM?

I installed OpenGapps Micro (of the 1st of August 2018) on Lineage OS
Solution:
1. Install 4.5.4I firmware
2. Root your device
3. Unlock bootloader
4. Install twrp 3.2.1
5. Flash AOSP 8.1 Rom
6. Flash arm64 8.1 micro gapps
Working all fine. Good luck.

Hey, I have a few questions regarding this.
Does FlymeOS 6.2.0.0G (or 6.3.0.0A for that matter) not work at all with open gapps?
Is there a point to install that instead of AOSP 8.1?
I still use FlymeOS stock 4.5.4l and I don't know why it would be more beneficial to use AOSP instead of a recent version of stock FlymeOS.
Does AOSP 8.1 have a lot of bugs?
I checked its forum page, it seems quite a lot of things are broken.
The ones that mostly concern me are the battery problems (though I have battery issues with the stock 4.5.4l FW currently as well), bad headphone sound quality, no navbar and sensor issues. Can you confirm that those are still present or has been fixed since?

Do you happen to have a mirror? It downloads extremely slowly. If not, I'll try downloading it now and will mirror it here when it's finished.

Nevermind, found a mirror on the flyme forums:
