With the release of Android 9 by Google — see availability details here — we are now seeing many custom ROMs based on AOSP Android 9 Pie code becoming available. AOSP being AOSP, it lacks Google Apps, also called Gapps in short. So, if you install AOSP ROMs to get the Android Pie unofficially, you will need to install the Gapps after installing your Android 9 ROM to get things properly working.
We have provided a list of Android 9 Gapps below that should work well for you after you have installed the custom ROM.
As these builds are the first ones, in quite an alpha stage, do not be surprised if things don’t get work out very smoothly. It’s easy to see that you may experience some issues with these Pie Gapps because of the development stage they are in at the moment.
So, the compatibility is still an issue, but given time, the Gapps for Android 9 Pie should come out good. The Gapps shared below, dated 20 August 2018, are already on a third revision.
