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.

(https://01.org/android-ia/downloads/android-4.4.2r1-ia0)

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.

Hey, where have you been?
I hope someone can help me install Google Contact app, the Lollipop one.
I have LG G3 Beat running lollipop 5.0.2, rooted with stock ROM.
I have its APK i was able to download somewhere (it's Google Contacts version 1.1 API 22 for Lollipop 5.1+, but it was recompiled by the uploader to make it work for Lollipop 5.0.x API 21 devices).
I was able to install it on my phone without any errors, so now I see LG's contact app and the Google Contacts app. but when I open the Google Contacts icon, it still opens the LG Contact app.... is there any other apk i need to install? like the content provider or whatever?
I want to make this work without any sync problems.
and where can I find the Google Dialer apk for lollipop too? and how to install it?
thanks!!!
select the version which suits you from here based on api level and screen resuloution, if that work the try low api level it should work, thank me if you found helpful
Which is the best Marshmallow 6.0.1 ROM for Grand 2? I have seen AOKP and CM13 on furoms. I know both of the AOKP and CM13 front camera don't work. Which is the most stable and best to download? And I was wondering when there will be an update of that ROM how can I download that newest version of the ROM while I'm on an older version of that ROM? I mean for example I would be running AOKP rom and they fix the front camera and then how do I download new version with fixed camera? THANKS ALOT FOR YOUR HELP

Tried CM 6.0.1 by appav but device overheats even on standby mode.will try AOKP.......
I think I used all the available roms here and I am slightly disappointed. Each of these rom has a lot of errors and underdeveloped.
Both 5.1 and 6.0 at the beginning of a great work. All nice and beautiful works, but after a few days / weeks of use there are mistakes and there are more and more.
A) I'm currently using 6.0.1 and after a week of use:
- Frequent suspension of the touch screen (software).
- Rom memory permanently at 1.1 GB (1.3 GB available), which causes the system begins to slow down much (I have literally several applications uploaded).
- Lack of front camera and the rear camera outside very often turns off only helps remove the battery)
B) previously had the 5.1.1:
- Need less RAM (700-800 MB of applications)
- After uploading fix, and so there were frequent errors sim card
- Speaker on one sim card did not work during the call.
several times I installed accordance with the instructions, the system worked well for a few days, then returned errors.
In conclusion I would like to finally upload a stable rom!

Hello Forum,
So I've seen various different ports and apps for the newer Xperia range but cannot seem to find a solution for a Z2 running CM12.1 not CM12.
I've been reading through these but still cannot seem to find what's needed.

I used to have a Custom Stock ROM running on the Z2 before upgrading to CM12.1 how ever I set up the stock with the apps well over a year ago so cannot seem to remember how I had put the apps accross.
Now I'm running CM12.1 I'm not sure if I need to use the Apps from the Z3/Z5 etc as they're based on the newest OS.
I wanted to try get the sony album,network connect tools ,and sound/media apps.
I've tried restoring the Album app as a test with TitaniumB but no luck.
Anyone got any ideas ?

In Google you can find album apk that works on every device.
There's also walkman zip for cm devices.
The zip is called: Xperia_Z5_Premium_Walkman™_Port_v1.1_by_androidexpert35.zip
But I had no luck with camera apk.
