ROM Android: Menambahkan Google Apps
Android Custom ROM Missing “Add Google Account” Option up vote 0 down vote favorite
In the customized Android system, all pre-installed google apps are missing and it's not allowed to add google account. I downloaded the Gapps from http://goo.im/gapps, but I cannot install the apps due to signature issue
Is there other possible way to retrieve the "add google account" option back?
Thanks
Update:
I wasn't aware that I need to push the Gapps into /system/app to avoid signature problem. When I did, it works! custom-rom google-account shareimprove this question

That's pretty normal for (almost) all Custom ROMs: They are not permitted to include Google Apps. GApps are proprietary, and to ship them bundled with anything requires an explicit license from Google.
However, Custom ROMs come rooted usually. and also usually, you (at least in most cases) have a custom recovery when installing them. So if you feel you need a way, you've got two choices primarily:
pick the GApps package corresponding to your Android version from Goo.im, and flash them via your custom recovery, or head over to XDA and check for the NOGAPPS packages if you prefer an open-source replacement
