    I wonder where this misconception is coming from, it’s the second time in the last few days I’ve seen it. I can’t remember custom roms ever coming with the Google apps preinstalled, you’d always need to flash them separately before the first boot (thanks XDA). That’s why we have MindTheGApps.

      It used to be that Cyanogenmod (the precursor project to LineageOS) shipped with Google apps pre installed until they got a cease and desist from Google.

      Many of them do these days. Which is a bit annoying when you want a no-gapps variant and can’t find it.

        That’s interesting! They aren’t supposed to do that though, right? It goes against Google’s policy.
