Download Android 11 Gapps for any Android device

2020 is the year of Android 11. Major OEMs like Samsung, Oneplus, Oppo and others have already released their skin version of Android 11 and these versions come with Gapps pre-installed. But there are some custom ROMs available online right now, also based on Android 11, which don’t contain GApps by default due to Google copyright issues.

If you are having difficulty downloading the GApps package installed on your phone running on a custom ROM, this guide will help you. But you will need a pre-installed recovery like TWRP to install the GApps package as well. Custom ROMs like Pixel Experience running on Android 11 come with Google apps and services pre-installed, while some other ROMs like CarbonROM don’t have GApps pre-installed. You will need to install them manually and in this guide we will walk you through the whole process.

What is GApps?

As the name suggests, “GApps” stands for Google applications. Just like the Android OS, GApps or Google Apps and Services are also open source in nature and can be used seamlessly on any Android OS device.

It goes without saying that you can’t even use Google apps and services on your Android device if the GApps package isn’t installed. Such as Google Play Services, Play Store, Gmail, Google Drive, Docs, Google Keep, Forum, Calendar, Phone, Messages, YouTube, Photos, Maps, etc.

Google Apps are proprietary applications and services pre-installed on all official Android devices running (except custom ROMs). Aftermarket firmware does not come with pre-installed GApps due to license limitations.

But as we have already mentioned, due to its open source nature, Android users can manually install or flash the GApps package according to their preferences even on custom ROMs very easily.
