DO NOT FLASH THIS ON A TOUCHWIZ ROM. AOSP BASED ONLY
This is a custom GApps package I created to work with x86 devices (namely, our tab) as the normal GApps packages available are arm-only. (and no, to those who would ask, it's not as simple as downloading PA-GApps and swapping the update binary. The actual files therein are NOT x86 compatible, namely, the libs.)
UPDATE 1: With the release of 4.4. for the P5210, I am pleased to announce that this is now a full, complete, stable GApps package
It contains everything found in the PA-GApps stock zip plus:
-Hackers keyboard
-Root browser
-Xperia home
note that Hacker's keyboard and Xperia home are just there in case google keyboard / google home don't work out of the box. I don't anticipate any problems, but just to be sure. After some feedback / testing i'll remove these if people want. Root browser however is here to stay.
UPDATE 2:
As of the 20140823 build, this is now a UNIVERSAL x86 GApps package, meaning it will work on ANY x86 device running 4.4.x with zero tinkering to the zip. I did this by using a slightly modified pa-gapps updater-script coupled with an x86 update-binary.
UPDATE 3:
The 20140826 build is mostly bug fixes. The updater-script in the 20140823 build was broken. This is now fixed. Google + was broken. This is also fixed.
Google keyboard was broken. This too, is now fixed.
Tested this build myself. All is well.
For those who want a ROM to try this with, head over to @moonbutt74 's thread "odds, ends tests". He posted a successful 4.4.4 build from a few days ago on i think the 4th or 5th post (though it is by NO MEANS dd ready. We're working on it)
DOWNLOAD LINK IS BELOW.
If you want to use this for any reason other than personal use, ask me first, unless you just want to include a link on your ROM thread. If you do want to include a link in your ROM thread, link to this thread, not the download link below.

old builds:
20140823 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140823.zip
The updater script in this build is broken. On top of that, if you fix it yourself, google + and google keyboard are borked.
20140814 build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140814.zip
This build only works with the tab 3 10.1.
Old legacy hackey build:
FrankenGApps-x86-20140813.zip
there is absolutely no reason to flash the 20140813 build over newer builds. The 20140813 build is an unstable / hackey 4.2 gapps port, I'm just posting it for reference purposes. Naturally this build is unsupported. Please download the new build(s) from OP.
if i flash the build of 14th then i stuck on samsung boot logo. firmware was stock rooted deodexed 4.4.2. i have tryed it twice but always stuck on boot logo.

I was sameway, so I just downloaded the update from "sammobile" installed it and used " super Su from chailfire to get root also used root explore to take out the apps I did not need.
@evilspawnas
@ghforlife
Why did you flash this on a touchwiz rom?
This zip is meant for aosp based ROMs like cm11. (I tested this package on @moonbutt74's wip cm11 build, works like a charm)
Besides, TW Roms have GApps built in

Oh, sorry, but all the other devices have cm 11, it´s like my normal behaviour to flash gapps... shame on me
Just updated to 20140823.
As of now, this GApps package is universally compatible with all x86 devices running 4.4.x. Zero tinkering to the zip necessary.
Just updated to 20140826. This build fixes updater-script, google keyboard, and google +. Read "update 3" in OP for more info.
Nice
Another stone in building our road to CM11. Thanks.
I know many will used this update.
To be honest, I am forced to used the market, but try to stay away from C I A applications. I am sorry did I say C I A. My apologies it is the Alzheimer, I mean Google.

so how would one go about installing this on a dell xps12 running intels official haswell build of kitkat?
(https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/android-4.4.2r1-ia0)
Manually place the files with root explorer?
thanks

Hey brother don't dare to flash it.... It's not for a Touchwiz rom like pimpdroid or Cagrom., It's for AOSP rom like Omni rom , AOKP , CM11 , AICP etc....
Sent from my GT-S6802 using XDA Free mobile app
Thanks for the gapps, working on my 3830 AOSP rom.

These gapps are 6 years old and for older versions of android. Go to opengapps.org for android 7.1.2 based gapps.
And also why do you need instructions? Same as all gapps just flash the zip after flashing the rom

I have a tab 3 10.1 WiFi so if anything pops up around these threads I always have a look.
The tablet is still working fine for me without any gapps on it as I've found gapps are extremely heavy on such an old tablet. Instead I opted for a microg installation and it works perfectly (even being able to play games like bullet force or fwd assault) but i mostly use it for reading and cooking and that kind of stuff which it is perfect for.

Owhh, i see. I put this rom on my tab: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-3/development-10/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3587761
It does lag sometimes, but i removed some of the GApps it came with. I mean, the second i removed playstore some other Google apps stopped working so i had to delete them too. It's a bit better, but i dont play games on it, it's still laggy i should've chosen another ROM but i guess this is fine. Which ones are you using? If you want we can talk in discord, or here if you want, which ever way you fele comfortable. I can share the apps i have and etc, since we have the same tablet, finally i found someone in 2020 having the same device as i have! Ha. I'm still here, so if you reply and i wont answer, i will answer later, i have schedule to follow that's why
Ill wait for your response, anywhere, if you want dm me here, chat in this thread or check my discord, send a friend request and tell me here ur name so I'd accept it. You can also find me in the XDA discord server.

The play store (I haven't tested other google apps) of 2014-10-15 Google Apps Minimal Edition works fine on my Defy 2014-10-25 nightly.
I just wanted to thank jaijb for this awesome package! I froze alot of stuff on my G3 and then my Play Store started to act up (No Connection error) , unfreezing everything didn't fix it either. So I uninstalled all the google stuff I didn't want and the necessary stuff that this package installs (well, all essential stuff except Google Accounts Manager). Booted into custom recovery using Recover Installer 1.01 and installed the zip. And voila!
I tried PA GAPPs pico and CM11 Minimal package in the same manner but it didn't work, it would get stuck again on *Connection error* on Play Store. This one worked for me though.
armv6
hi,
i have an old phone (galaxy mini - tass) and i modified gapps package to work properly with armv6 legacy device. so few suggestions...
1) can you add separate armv6 version of GAPPS?
i'm using google play services 5.0.89 (1307510-010) - armeabi CPU. not latest, but not so big...
(Google Play Services 5.0.89 (1307510-010) = 19MB VS. 6.1.83 (1522025-010) = 35MB)
in -010 version there are only 4 (armeabi) .so in /lib:
libAppDataSearch.so
libconscrypt_gmscore_jni.so
libgames_rtmp_jni.so
libgmscore.so
=> no FC on legacy devices (infamous AOSP keyboard stopped working due armv7 version of libjni_latinime.so)
2) update .apk
in your package, you have 4.4.4-1227136 (kitkat 4.4.4) version of libraries, i've upgraded to 4.4.4-1253334 (kitkat 4.4.4_r2). not important, but i like to have the latest versions...
3) i'm more aggressive with cm11 rom stripping... you can remove:
system\tts\ ~ 1.3 MB
system\usr\srec ~ 1.8 MB
system\media\audio some ringtones... ~ 3 MB
system\fonts some fonts... ~ 3 MB
GApps not working
In Play Store, iam getting this error: There was a problem communicating with google servers [RPC:S-7:AEC:0] everytime I try to install an app.
The Google account can't be synced (this is stated in the settings).
Occurred on Defy with CM 11.0 nightly from october 28th.
Keyboard not working
Hi, Thanks for your kind effort. I ´m running CM 11 on a Galaxy Ace, so I really appreciate the light weight apps. work like a charm... except for the keyboard... and as I have no file manager anymore, I can´t install swiftkey! any idea that how to install a keyboard ?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Works well
Works great on My Nexus 5. Thank you!
I think my problems stem from Gapps Im running either CM11 or the HDX rom and all have a crashing keyboard (AOSP) for me?

You can try gapps from here, tested/working on HDX, I never had any problems with AOSP keyboard... but you can try several things as:
- find Android keyboard (AOSP) in app(all) listing in rom settings and try to clear its data and cache (this will reset keyboard to default settings and then it should stop throwing FCs)
- do a clean re/install of CM11/Nexus/...
- use another keyboard from Playstore, there is a lot of them ...
