From Dankoman (slimroms gapps maintainer).

Google changed a bunch of stuff in new play services. This has caused issues for several apps, including maps and hangouts. Some modifications needed to be done, but I think I've got the kinks worked out. After flashing latest gapps (which is version 282), if you're having issues with maps or hangouts won't stop trying to update itself, do this:

1. Remove Google account from phone
2. Clear data for play store, play services, and services framework.
3. Reboot into recovery and clear cache.

This should prevent the need to clean flash (though that will also take care of the issue, if you'd rather do that), and you should only have to do this once.

Slimroms minimal Gapps
slim minimal gapps are very basic and light, slim rom also comes with nova launcher as default, you will have to dl google now launcher from the playstore (if you get an error about upgrading google search first just log into another google app before trying again. ie. gmail).

If you've never used slimrom before its based of asop and
it has slim recents which are like multiwindow crossed with recents, a dark ui switch in settings that also themes most google apps, slim center which has lots of goodies including slimosizer for removing unwanted system apps (be careful what you delete), new reminder in notifications and lots lots more. With it being an unofficial build then slim ota feature does not work.
