GApps for Android

For thow who did not know about the app, here is the article. GApps is a package of Android programs that you need to flash and install everytime you install a new custom ROM because otherwise you won’t be able to use them on your phone.

This package will install all the Google-based applications on your device so that you will be able to use Gmail, Gtalk, Google Voice, Calendar, Google Play Store, Google Maps, Goggles, Google Contacts and all the other applications you need to correctly use your phone. These apps can’t be integrated in custom ROM packages because it breaks the licensing restrictions and you cannot integrate them with CyanogenMod installation.

As you know, then CyanogenMod doesn’t need the GApps package to work but, you need it, after installing CM, in order to be able to install apps from Google Play Store, to use Google Maps, Calendar, Google Plus, Google Talk and all the other tools offered by Google that are required on a daily basis for a better Android experience.
