Why you need to flash Android 11 Gapps

When developers create new ROMs, such as LineageOS 18, they base their builds on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) code. This ensures that the ROMs are up to standard and have the latest features. However, if you flash any of these ROMs, you will not have any Google apps such as Google Maps, Google Play Services, or YouTube. Due to licensing issues, developers cannot legally include Android 11 Google applications on their builds.

This is where Gapps into play. They are nothing more than a bunch of Google apps grouped together into a flashable ZIP file. Once you flash the file, you will enjoy all the Google apps that you want. There are different types of Gapps, based on your preference. There are small packages that contain only the bare minimum of Google apps, and there are huge packages that contain every possible app.

  2. Press and hold the power button to turn off the phone.
  3. Go into recovery mode. This depends on the model of the phone, but usually, it is volume up + power buttons.
  4. While in TWRP, tap on Install. Navigate to the folder where you transferred the Gapps file.
  5. Tap on the file and swipe to confirm the installation.
  6. TWRP will now flash all the Google apps that are inside the package.

Once the installation process is over, reboot your phone. Setup your Google account, and you will be able to use your favorite Gapps on your Android 11 ROM.
