I have installed android-6.0.1_r72 AOSP Rom on a Nexus 5 device. The rom doesn't come with Google Apps.

I've tried to install from the following site, but after the installation I get

Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped

Is there a special version of Google Apps that I have to install?

UPDATE:

I found this error in logcat:

UPDATE #2:

I still get the error, so I've opened an issue in the GApps git.

Three things you are doing wrong: 1. You generally need to install APK pulled from the same version of Android that you want to run. 2. Don't ever download Google APK from non-Google sites. 3. In order to install system apps you need to first remount the system partition as read-write.

Here's how to get and then install genuine Google APK as system apps:

USE YOUR AOSP BUILD NUMBER TO GET THE MATCHING FACTORY IMAGE The link you provided for AOSP Codenames, Tags, and Build Numbers has build numbers that you need to match. Search the page for android-6.0.1_r72 and the corresponding build number is M4B30X.

Instead of using untrusted APK from random sites (a terrible idea) you can obtain genuine APK directly from the good folks at Google with the help of their Factory Images. Search the page for your build number M4B30X and download the image. Next, cd into the folder where you downloaded the image and run a check on the SHA-256 Checksum:

It should print: hammerhead-m4b30x-factory-10cfaa5c.zip: OK -If not, download the image again.

FLASH FACTORY IMAGE AND PULL GENUINE GOOGLE APK 1. Flash the Factory Image and boot into the system. 2. Activate Developer options and allow 'USB Debugging' 3. Now use ADB to pull(get) the 100% genuine Google Play APK:

FLASH AOSP HAMMERHEAD M4B30X AND PUSH GENUINE GOOGLE APK Make sure that you flash either the userdebug or eng variant.

Push APK files to your sdcard:

MANUALLY INSTALL APK AS SYSTEM APPS

Locate system partition: root@hammerhead:/ # mount | grep "/system" You should get back: /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system /system ext4 ro,seclabel,relatime,data=ordered 0 0

Now mount that system partition as rw(read-write)

CONFIGURE AOSP

Grant Google Apps Permissions On your phone, go into Settings>Apps In the overflow menu (gear button upper right corner) Select Show system Navigate down to Google Play Store and allow it all of the permissions. Do the same for Google Services Framework and Google Play Services (PrebuiltGmsCore). Now make sure ALL of the default AOSP apps have their respective permissions granted. AOSP by default comes with many permissions turned off. Allow ALL permissions for the following apps: Android Keyboard Browser Calendar Camera Clock Contacts Email Gallery Launcher3 Messaging Music Phone *And the ever-janky looking Search, if for some reason you don't want to disable it.

Now make sure that Wifi is connected and/or your SIM card is in and providing signal. Reboot. You should have some brief errors as everything gets sorted, although if the errors continue, another reboot should fix it.

andDevW's answer covers the details.

Adding another way to do the second step. Instead of FLASHing FACTORY IMAGE AND PULL GENUINE GOOGLE APK,

you can use simg2img to convert the system.img file into a mountable volume

you will be able to navigate your system.raw image once mounted and you can access /priv-app and other directories to get the apks you need, in the mounted volume at /system.

You can use this to get apks from system.img in factory image releases from Google.

It depends on purpose of these apps in your AOSP.

I might be wrong, but in order to install Google Play Service based apps for a custom device it's required to sign an agreement with Google and pass all the verification tests.
