These are “pico” version of Gapps which are minimal and give you Play Store. We recommend pico over other bigger Gapps as they do not take up much system space and bigger Gapps might not install on older Android devices as they may lack the storage space.

Q&A
Q: My phone is getting errors after flashing both ROM and Gapps!
A: Try doing a factory reset in TWRP recovery and rebot without reflashing Gapps. Sometimes that will get rid of all errors, so flash ROM, Gapps, THEN do a factory reset.
