For custom ROMs one has to download the google apps separate for licensing reasons, what I am wondering about is: Those provided zip files, are they created by the ROM maintainers or are they directly from Google? If they are directly provided from Google, where is the official download place for them? Thanks
goo.im contains all of the gapps.zips that you will ever need. But make sure that you pay attention to the version of gapps that you flash to your phone. If you flash the wrong one, you can easily flash the correct version, but sometimes you have to reflash the entire rom.

I Did, currently google apps flash-able package is available for CM7 ROMs but cant find for froyo.
And another point is, i corrupted my market app.. cant download any app now
I think Google talk is also not available in the android market.
why i posted:
ROM developers may have it that's why i posted maybe someone can provide one.
otherwise i will extract apk from ROM and try to create update zip. might be useful for others too
GApps packages are only for CM Rom's (And AOSP ones), since, those ROMs by themselves do not have any Google copyrighted stuff.
Sense based ROMs do not need GApps packages because most of them include it by default. Or, even if they do not include the apps package, they include atleast the Market app,
Seeing that, as you have put, your best bet would be to extract the APK and create the Update Zip yourself.
Looks like there is more than corrupt application in my case. I have created and flashed update even individually installed apks and services over existing ROM but getting FC on launching the application. Setup Wizard doesn't seems to work anymore and getting FC in loops.
Some unknown system components or services also seems to be affected. I think I would need to go back and restore nandroid or reflash the ROM
time to flash a New ROM for primary use. and keeping nandroid backups for test purpose. as a Primary ROM I will prefer CM 7.0.3, Wildpuzzel freezes sometimes during a call. i have used cm7 before but for test purpose. So i till go for CM7 and look for solution to connect ad-hoc wifi
why not just reflash your rom and make a backup of any data you want before hand
Surprised this hasn't already come up... It looked like flash was pre-loaded on my phone, but disabled or something as the size was 0kb. Visit this thread to download the latest apk and install no problem.
FYI, I use kuzma's latest CM10 builds (currently 1/16/2013) along with 12/12/2012 Signed Gapps from goo.
1 - Every time I do an update when kuzma releases a new version I have to redo Gapps afterwards. Should that be staying intact, or is it normal to have to re-install every time?
2 - My NT is mainly a gaming and reader device. I don't use it for e-mail, music, movies, etc. Is there any way to install ONLY the Google store, or does it require all this other stuff to run properly? I"ve tried several different ways with standalone apk's I found online, but they always give errors. Full Gapps is the only way the store will work.
Thanks in advance.

Gapps and the ROM (system files/data) both reside in the same /system partition which gets reformatted by CWM/TWRP recovery every time before a new ROM gets flashed -- hence Gapps needs to be re-flashed as well.
It's not clear which of the apps included in the Gapps zip file are needed in order to have a functional NT with Google Play. Next time you flash a new ROM build you can try removing a few "unwanted" apps from the Gapps zip file before re-flashing it and see what you can get away with.
Good tip. I'll give that a try. Thx!
I like MIUI itself or lets say that what xiaomi.eu or other make out of it. But it is annoying that gApps is pre-installed there. So I am looking for a ROM which comes with MIUI and without gApps. Anybody found such one?
Is it difficult to take a rom and just remove the gApps from there? I mean before installing it on the phone..

I think MIUI chinese ROM doesn't come with Google apps preinstalled, the global one does.
Yes the chinese ones don't come with gapps, but therefore have a lot of other chinese bloatware on them...
What I found is this:

But it surely doesn't apply to Android 5, does it?
experimental solution to remove gapps
I tried to block the gApps within Droidwall/AFWall+, but these still send/rec pakets which pisses me off.
I found a solution. Credits go to:

I have xioami.eu ROM HM3_6_18_v8-5-1. From there I extracted the update binary specific for my Redmi
This is the list of apps which I have deleted is:
/system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
/system/app/LatinImeGoogle/LatinImeGoogle.apk
/system/app/TranslationService.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleBackupTransport/GoogleBackupTransport.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleFeedback/GoogleFeedback.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleLoginService/GoogleLoginService.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleOneTimeInitializer/GoogleOneTimeInitializer.apk
/system/priv-app/GooglePartnerSetup/GooglePartnerSetup.apk
/system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
/system/priv-app/Phonesky/Phonesky.apk
/system/priv-app/PrebuiltGmsCore/PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
With TWRP I MADE A BACKUP before and then I flashed the attached zip file.
As the google keyboard is also removed, you should have another one already installed!
Do on your own responsibility! I am not liable for any damages.
Issues
- The browser "JumpGo" doesn't seem to work anymore ( dns error) (the built in browser of miui as well as a lot of other browers does)
- Davdroid doesn't work anymore (dns error)
- The apk package installer from google is not removed at the moment
Very good? May be useful for me later after I got my first Xiaomi phone.

Hello retakal, thanks for your helpful post! As I'm also looking for a google free MIUI android system for my new Xiaomi 3S International.
As I'd base it on a the official global "land_global_images_V8.0.3.0.MALMIDG_20160805.0000.29_6.0_global" your bloatkill content
might not work the same (?).
Looking at the file structure/content of the extracted image I'm still not sure what file the META-INF data contains.
After a quick search I'm not much wiser - could you pls help out here?
Hello guys,
This is my first post as a suggestion for solving a poblem as well as exposure of a subject.
Ok let's go
First, do it for your own risk, and not penalize me if something goes wrong, ok?
The rom that I am using is the Android 7.0 Elephone_P9000_20170419 Nougat, which you can download on the site needrom.com (probably also work with rom Elephone_P9000_20170418, downloaded from the official site elephone, but had no chance to test).
It is mandatory that you have installed TWRP Recovery, it is your only means of security in case something wrong happens. Always make security backups. (I'll post one soon, how to easily install from the Flash Tool).
Download the file through the link https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=23253 faceunlock_lollipop5.1_20150402.zip
INSTALLATION
1. Place the file on the SD card, or on the internal memory of the phone;
2. Boot at the Recovery https://forum.xda-developers.com/elephone-p9000/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-elephone-p9000-t3426678 TWRP;
3. Install the zip file;
4. Reboot your phone;
Process terminated, your trusted app face has been installed.

RECOMMENDATIONS
The file loads the old (Marshmellow) version of the application, but it is fully functional; the recent version of the app is not working, so it is not recommended that you manually update this file.
Always remember to make a backup of security.
I still have other things to publish, such as:
- Fully functional Google apps and Pixel Launcher (official) with the opportunity to recover backup through the Google account, which is not possible with only the official rom version of the P9000 Elephone. I have tested this rom for two weeks, and will post soon;
- A very beautiful and functional thema (for me the best thema)... I'll make a surprise ;-P
I hope you like it
THANKS
@asdfasdfvful follows link from the original post;
@Jonny and yours fully functional non official TWRP, thank you so much man;
