Assuming your phone is rooted, running on a custom ROM & TWRP is working properly, you must download an Android 6.0 ARM package from the gapps website.
You can use the type you want but many people use pico or nano. Check the information on each package & choose the one that suits your needs.
There is also an Aroma full package with an installer, if you use this you can choose exactly which Google apps to install.

If you installed a stock Samsung ROM there is no reason to install Gapps.
Gapps is for custom ROMs that don't have the minimum Google stuff like Playstore/Search already included.
Anyway, as you asked how to install a gapps zip file, the gapps file is an "installable zip" file that requires an app like TWRP recovery to be launched.

How then do I get playstore on my phone (SM-A5108) I tried installing latest playstore apk but that didn't work?
I don't have TWRP Recovery

I have flashed Samsung A5108 with chinese 6.0.1 Stock ROM and then unlocked bootloader with CROM app...i then flashed TWRP on the phone and rebooted in TWRP mode. I then installed open_gapps-arm-6.0-pico-20170709 after copying it to the system of phone. It flashes successfully but then when i reboot, it keeps on looping on logo...can anyone help me out? I tried open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20170709 but get error...

finally custom rom for lg g3 d858hk

hey guys i found custom ROM for d858hk version which is here
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7892224-1-1.html
can be translated through Google but we need someone to explain to us in details.
I might able to help, I can read Chinese
let me know if you want any explanations.
it's based on lollipop 20d
- v1.0 LED not working, and this v2.0 fixed the problem
- rooted, superSU v2.46
- once you flashed the ROM, no need to flash the ROOT again
- busybox is in the system and no app not there
- works on D857 858 and 858HK
- it's a LIGHT version, there are functions that are deleted, like weather widget for example
- including deleted app inside the ROM, and could recover yourself
- app can write data to external SD card
- split view works for 3rd party app
- smart cover function removed, user can download the "deleted app" and put back into the system to get it working

HOW TO FLASH
FOR D858HK
1. ROOT
2. install TWRP 2.8.1.0
3 Reboot to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and upgrade it to 2.8.5.1
4. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP
D857 and D858
1. ROOT
2. download build.prop.zip, extract, using ES explorer to replace the one in "system" folder
3 flash D858HK 's TOT (http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7502599-1-1.html)
4.install TWRP 2.8.1.0
5. Reboot to TWRP 2.8.1.0 and upgrade it to 2.8.5.1
6. Flash ROM using this newest TWRP
Do "double wipe" after flashing the ROM, otherwise might have FC messages
Thanks alot i think this will help ...will try it now
but can we install twrp when in lollipop as i am now on lollipop
any ideas?
maybe these
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7677473-1-1.html
one click Recovery installation
need to be rooted
1. extract files to computer
2 connect phone
3 turn on usb debugging
4. run Recovery.bat
---------------------------------------
old temp way, didn't say if it works on L or only KK
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7727191-1-1.html
So...can any of you fluent Chinese speakers/readers help with the actual downloading of the ROM? It seems the rom is available at http://pan.baidu.com/s/1mg86X6o, but I get a little overloaded and can't figure out how to download from there. It seems to want me to log in, but I can't figure out if there's a non-login download ability lurking somewhere?
Do you have some screenshoots ?
Two things. First, I had the wrong link before. Correct one is: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1sjoKe4l. Second, I realized the reason is that the zip file is over 1GB and they force you to a "download butler". So the login thing is related to copying that file into your (QQ, for example) account and then you could download the file from there.
If anyone with a D858HK is interested, I was able to install this custom rom on my phone without any problems. I followed steps elsewhere to root (the one click version) and install TWRP. The rom is basically a slim version of the standard lollipop rom. If you end up deciding to install this, be aware that the Google Contact Sync app is not included within the rom and you'll need to also download the "deleted apps" zip file mentioned in the same post (link in OP). In the "deleted apps" zip, you'll want to grab the Gooogle Contact Sync apk and install that ... otherwise you can't get your contacts copied to the new rom. There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
FYI, here are the version details of the rom:
Android version: 5.0.1
Baseband version: MPSS.DI.3.0.c6.2-00011-M8974AAAAANAZM-1
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: (some chinese)1121561(more chinese)
Software version: D858HK20d-HKG-XX
So in total its not worth installing it? But anyway, thanks for your report!

I guess that depends on how easy it is to remove LG's bloatware and whether or not you need all/any of it. I personally didn't care for it anyway. But yeah, other than that, nothing special about the rom.
There were a bunch of other apks, but this one the only one so far that seemed like it shouldn't have been removed from the rom.
i believe there's a thread somewhere in this forum (http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1508-type-10913.html) regarding d858 MIUI, could someone confirm? Thanks

My LG-D858HK phone hard bricked:
What happened/how I hard bricked the phone. I'd already rooted the phone with Marshmallow and then tried to flash phone TWRP by (mistakenly) using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=b007.autorecd858hk when it hard bricked the phone. Now, the phone screen is black/blank and blue/red LED light flashing.
In addition, my PC doesn't recognise phone when plugged into USB port/s. Pop-up on PC screen says; “The last USB device you connected to this computer malfunctioned and windows do not recognize it.” And in Device Manager, I see a ‘yellow triangle’ next to LGE Platform Android Composite USB Device Driver.
I tried different methods to go into download mode and I’m not sure if any worked. Because, obviously, I can’t see anything on the phone screen to carry out procedures to fix phone in download mode. Moreover, I’m not even sure if the phone goes into download mode apart from a sound made from PC and the pop-up straight after.
PC always recognised phone when plugged into USB port/s before it was hard bricked.

[Q] Best procedure for flashing Optimized CM12.1 on to the UK GT-I9505 (JFLTEXX)?

I successfully flashed CM11 on to my LG G Pad 8.3 without issue so I've done this before (but most of the downloads had Batch files to automate things) but want to still be sure of the procedure.
My I9505 was recently upgraded OTA to Android 5.0.1 along with Samsung's TouchWiz. Hopefully this won't complicate matters.
Is this the best/recommended procedure? -
Root: What's the best/recommended method to Root my S4?
Backup Stock Recovery: Using Flashify on Google Play.
Install Recovery: Is TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 the best Recovery to use?
The Optimized CM12.1 thread recommends TWRP 2.8.7.0 but the download doesn't contain a batch file to run?
Reboot to TWRP --> Backup my existing ROM image then choose the Wipe option
Install the Optimized CM12.1 ROM then GAPPS from SD Card
Related questions about the Optimized CM12.1 ROM and GAPPS please:
Wouldn't a regular CM12.1 Nightly for the I9505 be better than the Optimized CM12.1 ROM? The Optimized CM12.1 ROM looks to be older (2015-06-16), or am I splitting hairs over a few days? Thanks
The Optimized CM12.1 thread offers a link to download GAPPS for Lolilpop 5.1. Is this better to use than the one in the GAPPS for Lollipop 5.1 here (ARM download): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Is the TWRP Manager on Google Play the best/recommended way to install TWRP 2.8.7.0? -
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jmz.soft.twrpmanager
Thanks again.
Regarding your steps...
1, 2: Cyanogenmod is pre-rooted, and the stock recovery images are readily available, thus these steps waste time.
3. Yes.
4. Yes. You'll use Odin to flash the recovery, thus no batch file.
5, 6: Yes.
As to your other questions...
1. You need to decide which you want more. Is having a more current build more important than the optimizations? Regardless of the final choice both install in essentially the same fashion.
2. The GApps in the thread is more up-to-date than the official download.
Finally, TWRP Manager stopped working properly some time ago and really isn't necessary. Download the image from the Optimized CM12.1 thread and install it using Odin.

Firstly thanks for the detailed reply.
I remember that from installing CM on my tablet but presumably you still need to Root the S4 to be able to install CM?

A few more questions please:
1. So when you run Odin it will ask for the location of the TWRP Recovery v2.8.7.0 folder?
2. Is this the best place to get Odin? - http://odindownload.com/
3. That link says I need "ADB & FASTBOOT TOOLS", where do I get these for the S4?

2. The GApps in the thread is more up-to-date than the official download.

Oh great thanks. I noticed it was a smaller download. Is there much missing from it over the official one?
Thanks again Strephon.
1, 2: No. You only need to flash the recovery through Odin to be able to install Cyanogenmod.
2. I believe the apps that all can be downloaded from the Play Store are missing, which is a good thing.
4: You need to input the location of TWRP on your hard drive. Search on XDA for the most current version of Odin (3.10.6) and ignore that site's comment about ADB & Fastboot Tools. Simply download Samsung's drivers off their website and install them. As an alternative, you can install Kies, but make sure Kies isn't running when you run Odin.

Great. Thanks for the further help. I'm nearly there, just a few more questions please:
Do I need to enable USB Debugging?
Running Odin and it's unclear what to do next? I presume these instructions under "Odin Install Method (No Root Required)" are correct? - https://twrp.me/devices/samsunggalaxys4internationalqualcomm.html
Those instructions say to press the PDA button, there is no PDA button. Do I press the AP button instead?
In Odin options is it safe to leave "F. Reset Time ticked"? It looks like it is.
The TWRP 2.8.7.0 in the Optimized CM12.1 thread only offers a ZIP file and the link here only offers an IMG file: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/. But it looks like Odin needs a TAR file. Any ideas?
I presume this (Micro) GAPPS is as good to install as the GAPPS link in the Optimized CM12.1 thread (it's newer, just want to be sure it's compatible)? - http://opengapps.org/
Finally, is it a good idea/recommended to convert to F2FS?
Googling and it's unclear if I want "F. Reset Time" ticked or I should be converting to "F2FS", so I thought I should be sure first. Great I already have Kies installed.
Thanks again. I'm pretty close to installing CM12.1 now.
It won't hurt, but in download mode it shouldn't be needed.
Yes.
The instructions assumed an older version of Odin. Press the AP button.
If Odin fires up with it enabled by default, I'd leave it as is.
Grab the 2.8.7.0 TAR from https://dl.twrp.me/jfltexx/ and install it through Odin. Afterward, you can change over to the F2FS-compatible version using the upgrade instructions given on the twrp.me install page.
It should be compatible, but you may have better luck using the version in the thread.
F2FS is totally optional. I personally don't use it.
Thanks for the quick reply again. There is no 2.8.7.0 TAR file in that link, just a 2.8.6.0 TAR file .
* I presume I should install 2.8.6.0 TAR then install the 2.8.7.0 IMG file on top from inside TWRP?
* OR better yet install 2.8.6.0 TAR using Odin then install 2.8.7.0-F2FS ZIP from inside the TWRP 2.8.6.0 Recovery itself? I presume I use the same Install option I do to install CM2.1 itself?
I didn't look carefully at the page. Sorry. But yes, you can grab the 2.8.6.0.tar, install it, then install either of the 2.8.7.0 images afterward in TWRP.
Thanks Strephon Alkhalikoi. I finally got around to doing this last night and it went without a hitch. I got a pit error using Odin but a quick Google said to plug the USB cable direct into the PC.

[Gapps] Flashable Gapps and deodexed/zipaligned system app/framework

If you flash any gapps in Stock odex rom, then it will give disconnect error after reboot/auto sync error etc. So I am giving you two packages. Flash with custom recovery like cwm/twrp
1. First flash the deodexed_zipaligned_sysApps_framework_NokiaX2ds2.1.0.13flashable.zip
https://yadi.sk/d/nSBRjt5qiQQ7c
2. Then flash the gapps-custom-pico-4.3_signed.zip
https://yadi.sk/d/9NlC8ANFiQQCm
*** deodexed package is for stock version 2.1.0.13. Dont flash it in Custom roms like nokdroid(already deodexed and different system apk folder). Don't flash gapps package in a rom that already includes gapps.
Features:
1. Deodexed
2. Zipaligned
3. Minimal gapps with libs
4. Playstore 4.6.17, location manager(you don't need here maps location manager for network location)
5. No problem for auto sync.
6. No disconnect issue after reboot.
7. No self update of playstore.
**If you want to install the aosp browser with chrome sync you can follow this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-x2/general/aosp-browser-chrome-sync-stock-rom-t3153738
Plz hit thanks if it works and let me know if there is any problem.
Plz someone response if this works in your phone or not. I have only tested it in my ROM.

this works nicely. i tested it in my phone. still no errors and images load nicely :angel:
I'm use advanced Nokia x2 tools for deodex my Nokia stock rom 2.1.0.12 and flash your gapps but when I reboot my device, disconnect reboot still persist. Sorry my bad English
@jmmigo you have to use stock rom 2.1.0.13, and use my deodex package. That'show its working. I haven't tested with stock rom 2.1.0.12.
Thanks for the explanation
sorry but this is the most idiot package at all...why did u make it delet the whole system app file ? u could just replace everything there only....and play store have the same problem ..disconnect after reboot....and yes it s 2.1.0.13
@thebiggboss180, No u cant just replace. The Odex files must be removed, deleting system app folder simplifies the process. Dont know why its not working for you. For me, for the first commenter its working. But, I am waiting for more reviews. Anyway, saying something is idiot doesnt make you smart.
Does the deodex zip file work for 2.1.0.11 or not because I really hate the disconnect issue after reboot
Don't know, just try after taking a backup.
I flashed the deodex file and it work but when I rebooted my phone the play store app disappear
Worked
i dont know what others say.. but it worked for me.. yeh :laugh: :cyclops:
Help I flash this two using cwm, but when I reboot my phone it stuck on updating application. Good thing I have cwm backup

GAPPS crash with crdroid Rom, how to install ?

Hello,
I am new on this forum but I used different roms (Omega rom) on my phone, a samsung S4 I9505.
As the last version of Omega Rom didn't work on my phone (boot couldn't succeed), i Installed CrDroid jfltexx 5.1.1
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-crdroid-t3017844)
I want to have some of the Google Apps like the Play Store... so i downloaded on OpenGapps the package ARM / 5.1 / Mini. Yet after I installed it in the recovery mode, and i booted. As i was configuring the phone, the Google apps were crashing as i followed the instructions...
Now i i did another complete install of the phone WITHOUT the GAPPS. How should i proceed to get at minimum the Play Store ?
Thanks !
First time installing crDroid to your i9505, or coming from another ROM:
- Make sure you're running a proper working Recovery (CWM or TWRP)
- Copy GApps and crDroid zip to your internal SDCard
- Boot into Recovery
- Wipe system,dalvik,data and cache
- Flash crDroid zip
- Flash GApps zip
- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET
- Reboot

For example:

So before installing the ROM, I guess you first root the device and then installed TWRP? Some good instructions to do that?
I've come across 3 versions of TWRP that all seem plausible but that I do not necessirily trust/understand:
a) espresso-common-TWRP
b) P5110-TWRP
c) twrp-3.1.1-0-p5110.img
What I don't understand is that if the TeamWin is not supporting TWRP on this device anymore and stopped at version 3.1.1, how is it that these ANDROID-ANDY has more recent versions? And what is the espresso-common version? How does it differ from the P5110-TWRP version?

TWRP source is open, if you have the ability you can compile newer versions.
And what is the espresso-common version? How does it differ from the P5110-TWRP version?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
espresso-common is unified, it works on P3100, P3110, P3113, P5100, P5110 and P5113 without the need for a device specific TWRP. It makes maintaining TWRP easier for our Tab.
At boot the kernel of the recovery is reading a value from your your LCD to decide which drivers need to be loaded on your variant.
