How to Install Gapps

The Google Applications packages should be installed via recovery. Exact steps vary, but the general process is the same as that used to install CyanogenMod, or any other flashable zip:

  1. Copy the gapps .zip-file to /sdcard/
    • Using adb: adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
  2. Reboot your device to recovery via any one of these methods: 1) using the power-on key combo for your device; 2) running adb reboot recovery from your computer; 3) or via the Advanced Reboot power menu (enabled in Developer Options).
  3. Choose “install zip” or “Apply update” from within recovery, and navigate to the zip-file loaded earlier.
  4. Reboot from recovery back to Android.

There you have it. That’s the simplest/fastest way to install Gapps on your device after you have downloaded the application package.Be sure to keep an eye on this page for the latest Gapps Downloads for Android 5.1.X Lollipop. Please share the information on social media to spread the word.
