How to get Google applications like Gmail, Play and YouTube back
on a rooted Android phone with custom ROM?   When I rooted and
flashed a new ROM on a Galaxy S2, everything went smoothly, but
all of the “Google parts” aren’t on there. That means no Google
Play, Gmail, YouTube, Voice, etc. How do you go about getting
all of those GAPS back on after flashing a new ROM?  Answer this
Question   2 total Vote Up (10)  Is it really worth the
headaches to root an Android device? I'd never bother, unless
you bought one that you really didn't like. Seems like more of a
pain than it's worth, though your mileage may vary.  Vote Up (8)
Yeah, those are proprietary apps and not open source like the
Android OS. It’s not too bad though, Google makes the GAPS
available. Here is a little explanation about it from
CyanogenMod forum that explains it more and also has a link to a
source for GAPS. It’s just one of those things that goes along
with flashing a new ROM.  Ask a question  Join Now or Sign In to
