Open GApps app now available on Google Play Store
- Now all of us might familiar with GApps if you frequently
use custom ROMs on your Android device.
- Custom ROMs these days usually give you a choice if you want
to use Google’s bundled services, so most of them don’t come with Google apps
embedded.
- If you choose to go with Google’s services, you can install
GApps, of which the Open GApps variants and bundles are one of the most
popular.
- Usually, when you want to download a variant of Open GApps,
the user goes on to the official download site, selects the architecture of his
device (ARM, ARM64, x86, x86_64), selects the Android version, and then picks
an Open GApps bundle of his liking.
- After downloading, the user will need to flash the Zip file
through the recovery.
- The new Open GApps app aims to simplify this process for
users.
- The app will have a wizard which detects – either from past
device installations or current usage – and recommends which architecture,
Android version, and bundle is best for you.
- This works well with beginners while still giving power
users options to choose from. So well done on these, Open GApps.
- There are some caveats – the developer is new to app
development and the app currently has some interface bugs, especially in
Nougat.
- This happens when you run the app in windowed (resized) mode
or when you rotate the app to landscape orientation.
- So best to keep it in normal portrait mode right now. For
more info on the app, check out the source link below. Check out the app now
available via theGoogle Play Store.
