FAQ:
Q: If I have a problem with flashing the Open GApps package, where can I get help?
A: Check the support page of OpenGApps.org at http://opengapps.org/#supportsection
Do NOT request help via the Play Store review system.
Q: Why does flashing Open GApps result in losing the permissions granted to the app?
A: The first time you flash Open GApps on a system that has no GApps yet, it needs to reset all system permissions. That means all current permissions are lost, also for this app.
Q: Why is there an advertisement in the app when I download a package?
A: The Open GApps project is supported through donations and advertisements. The app shows only a pre-loaded advertisement *after* you started the download, it does not block or slow the download process. We will never impair functionality and thank you for supporting the project!
Q: Can I help to translate and localize the application?
A: Yes you can! Check out https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps-app-support for the files with translatable strings. You can use Android Studio or any text editor to create your translations. Open a GitHub Pull Request with your updated files when you are done!
Q: I think I found a bug in the app, how can I report it?
A: We are always interested in bugreports! You can file a bug at https://github.com/opengapps/opengapps-app-support/issues. Please take notice NOT TO REPORT ANY BUGS with the OPENGAPPS PACKAGE through this bugtracker.
Q: Can I support this project through e.g. donations?
A: This app itself does not receive any funding from donations. But we urge to you to support The Open GApps Project itself, as it provides us with these nice Open GApps packages. You can support them at http://opengapps.org/support

Open GApps APK: questions and answers
Can I install this APK over the version I already have?
Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
Is the Open GApps APK safe?
No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Unknown. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 9ecb603bb26476d7aad1c027ee2407b2.
