These Google Apps or gapps they are intended to be flashed in roms based on Cyanogenmod, AOSP, AOKP or in any terminal that lacks the pre-installation of these essential applications for any Android terminal.

Installation method using modified Recovery
The first of all will be Download the version that suits our needs, that is, the corresponding version and matching the version of our Android OSThis can be found in the terminal settings in the About device section, device information that is usually at the end of the configuration menu.
Once the compressed ZIP file is downloaded, we will copy it without decompressing directly to the root of the internal memory of the terminal in which we are going to install the Gapps, then we will restart in recovery-mode and we will proceed with the installation instructions:
- Restore and Backup and perform a nandroid backup Of all our current system, this is essential since in case of a bad flashing or ZIP incompatibility, we can recover our device in a simple way.
- Install zip from internal sdcard
- choose zip
- We select the zip of the Gapps copied earlier and confirm its installation.
- Wipe cache partition
- Wipe dalvik cache from advanced
- Reboot system now.
With this you would have correctly installed the Google applications or Google Apps to enjoy must-have apps like the Android app store or gmail.

How do I delete this GAPP? It did not help me to correct the error I had to access Google Play or Youtube, I was trying nothing else. But since it didn't work for me and the only new thing is that now I have Google Talk, which I can't use for the same problem, why do I want it to have space? can I delete this GAPP?
