There are so many sites that provide them but how do I know which one actually supplies legit ones. I only want play store, that's it nothing else.
What do you mean 'legit ones'?
Gapps are gapps. Go for banks gapps if you want something well known
#stayparanoid
Virtually every gapps package you find on the web will be fine. These are all 'legit' and generally interchangeable (gapps for PA and for CM/Omni/AOKP/every AOSP based ROM are the same).
You can download and flash CyanogenMod GApps. Just make sure to download package that matches your PA Android version (eg CM10=jb, CM11=kk 4.4, CM12=lp).

I believe the most recent G-Apps for ICS-based ROMs is the 04-29 version. You can download it here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip

Similarly, you can always view all the available gapps packages (and choose the one with the most recent timestamp) at http://goo.im/gapps
I don't mean to come off as lazy. I'm just asking a question for the sake of information.
It just never occurred to me that I have to flash gapps with every ROM but how come no dev just puts the gapps in with their ROM?
You don't need to with every rom, only aosp roms. I have no idea why gapps aren't included.
AOSP ROMs aren't allowed to include Gapps because Gapps are proprietary Google apps. They're not open source, and they're not part of AOSP. It is illegal to use Google's IP (Gapps) without permission. They get around the restriction by making you download and flash the Gapps separately. Gapps are included in Touchwiz ROMs because Touchwiz ROMs are just modifications of the manufacturer's ROM, which already has the rights to use Gapps.
Putting the ILLA in KILLA since 1985
That makes sense, thanks, I never knew that.
Thanks for clearing that up

Hi if anyone has advice- I cannot get gapps installed with this rom- the download page is unavailable and downloading it from another source wont show up in odin. Not sure what I am missing?
Thanks
You can find gapp here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=59691695&postcount=3
I used minimal edition gapp. You must flash gapp with TWRP.
Variant: Aroma?
I have an Android Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505. It's rooted. I have TWRP installed.
I want to install Lineage OS. I downloaded
LineageOS-20170120-jfltexx-UNOFFICIAL.zip http://www.lineageosrom.com/2017/01/galaxy-s4-lineage-os-nougat.html
I see "Download Gapps For Lineage OS All Version 6.0, 7.1 {Daily Updated}"
http://www.lineageosrom.com/2016/12/download-gapps-for-lineage-os-all.html
And the S4 I9505 is ARM architecture
But what is "Download Google Apps For Lineage OS 7.1" with options for
Aroma, Super, Stock, Full ... ?
That page links to
http://opengapps.org/?download=true&arch=arm&api=7.1&variant=aroma
Which shows Platform: ARM, Android: 7.1, Variant: aroma.
Does that mean that Aroma is the correct variant for my phone?
ARM 7.1. desde Open Gapps

The Aroma isn't a bad choice but, I believe that it's not the best option (purely my personal opinion).
You may want to take a look at the following Official Open GApps Wiki pages for the additional information you may be looking for.
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Aroma-Package
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Package-Comparison
The following Wiki is regarding the individual to manually create their own GApps package that, I feel, may also require additional skills but, is actually simpler than the Aroma (still just a personal opinion).
https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps/wiki/Advanced-Features-and-Options
Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
Aroma package is only to choose which Google Apps do you want to install. It includes all the Google Apps found by Google. It also takes up your space. But I recommend you to download the Micro, Nano or Pico package for your device. It includes the basic Google Apps. After downloading, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache and system in twrp. Then flash the OS. Then flash the gapps. If you flash other packages, it will slow your device and will get heated up.
Enjoy
Best rom with custom kernel support for better gaming. Since stock miui is too heavy. PLease suggest
Unofficial LineageOS by nijel8, my script & pico Gapps.

Scripts are in fifth post, you use one for a variant of the phone you have.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71739624&postcount=5
You flash it like anything else from TWRP & if you don't like it you flash back stock one from same post.

I explicitly told you which ROM, Gapps & script you need to flash. Script won't work with MIUI! Their is no costume kernel for MIUI!
ROM:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-max/development/rom-lineageos-14-1-t3529851
Why this one? Because it's rock stable & far less buggy than MIUI. It comes with semi costume kernel (only really needed things ware add & set as defaults) which is also much more secure than others available. Same kernel is adopted by all newer costume ROM's. It's also semi costume ROM & contains only fixes like full support for dual SIM, VOLTE status bar indicator that you won't find in official LineageOS builds, it also uses firmware property libs for hardware directory from Xiaomi MIUI builds. It doesn't contain any added apps or anything else different from official LineageOS. Reed the first post carefully before flashing!
Pico Gapps are the smallest one's & only ones that don't come with Google Asistent which alone saves 100MB of RAM.
So from TWRP as I assume you already have it if you don't find also nijel8 TWRP & install it first. You first flash the ROM, firmware, Pico Gapps (all linked in the first post for ROM), power/performance script. Let it boot in settings find & enable hotplug install your apps & games & enjoy.

Gapps are Gapps. I told pico Gapps because they are smaller and lack Google assistant for sole gaming purpose that means 100MB free RAM. I don't know about RR (I doubt it) ask the author.
