Google Installer is a G-App package to run Google Apps on Chinese Devices as some countries have very strict policies for using the apps developed in other territories like in China. Chinese internet industry does not allow their people to use Google Apps like YouTube, Gmail, Maps, Docs, Snapseed, etc. There is also restricted use of Google search. Facebook and other social sites are also blocked in this country. Due to the complete block of all Google Apps, it is very difficult to run some supportive apps that rely on Google Apps.
The OS developed for China are barred from Google Apps and therefore it is quite difficult to download the Gapps. The Chinese forked Android OS for various devices like Xiaomi MIUI, Oppo ColorOS, Meizu, Alcatel, Gionee, OnePlus Hydrogen OS, LeEco, Huawei, ZTE etc have their own App Store.
It is important to note that Google Play is not banned in China. Few phone manufacturers in China do pre-install it. However, it is Google that bans all paid apps and apps with in-app purchases for Chinese users.
Today I have come up with one of the best solutions to use all Google apps on your Smartphone without much difficulty. All you need is to download the Google Installer Apk on your Mobile and enjoy all Gapps.

Install Apps from Play Store API without a Google Account
Google Play API Client Alternatives to Download Apps from Google Servers without G-Account
1. Aurora Store
Aurora Store is an unofficial FOSS client to Google’s Play Store. It means you can download apps from the Google Play Store without any Google Account. Aurora Store itself is an independent app store but lets you download apps from Google Store Servers. It works in a similar way as the YouTube Vanced works for YouTube. The Aurora Store uses the Play Store API and delivers the apps from Play Store Servers.
The Aurora Store can run without any Google Account. You can download and update apps directly from Google Servers ensuring complete safety of the app from any inject of virus or malware. It is a lightweight application and comes with a very elegant, clean and fluid user interface.
2. Yalp Store
There is a Freeware App store that installs Apps from the Google Play Store without any requirement of G-Apps Suite or a Google Account. This App store is called Yalp Store.
Most custom ROM developers make their ROMs available without the Google Mobile Services Suite due to its not-so-good effect on a device’s battery and performance. Yalp Store lets you download APK’s and install updates directly from the Google Play Store without having to install Google Apps or the GMS suite. You can watch and download Apps from the Play Store without a Google Account.
Go to Yalp Store Download Page
You can manually download Google Apps one by one on your device to avoid unnecessary G-Apps taking up your device space. If you wish you can log in to your Google Account or by default use a fake Yalp Account to access the Play Store.
Note & Conclusion: The post above would have helped you to install the GApps on your Android if you are running on China ROM or a Custom Built ROM.
