CyanogenMod 14.1 Android 7.1 Google Apps for Nougat 7.1: These are the Gapps packages that are compatible with Android 7.1 Nougat. If you ever install a CyanogenMod custom ROM or any other custom ROM for that matter, you’d notice that these applications are missing. This is because they are licensed apps and as such the developers of these ROMs cannot include them in their custom ROMs. You must install CyanogenMod Gapps on your own if you want to use the Google applications. Please note that these apps are not necessary for the booting or running of the custom ROM. You can see a full list of CyanogenMod Gapps packages here.

Troubleshooting
Google Apps packages are hardly ever supported by the CyanogenMod team, or by their distributors. The good thing is that there isn’t much that can go wrong when installing Gapps. If you are experiencing problems, here is a list of different things you can try (each one a bit more extreme/destructive than the last):
- Reboot your device
- Verify all apps are up-to-date in the Play Store
- Re-flash the Gapps package (via recovery)
- Wipe the
/system
partition and reinstall both CyanogenMod and Gapps (as long as if you don’t wipe /data, your data will be preserved) - Wipe
/system
,/data
and/cache
and reinstall both CyanogenMod and Gapps (this will delete all of your data, i.e. like you’re starting from a clean slate)
If you still have problems consider googling for alternative Google Apps installation package. Thanks for reading, everything you need to know about Cyanogenmod 14.1 Gapps – Google Apps Downloads/Installation for Android 14.1 Nougat.
