Hello, I own Umi Iron and also a motorola moto g, and regarding google I did not notice any problems with installation. Is a different story reported some apps that the system does not recognize; for example on my Umi Zero the Paypal app works on Iron is not compatible. I think it's only a matter of time until the developers update the apps to the new firmware.

Thanks i just found it strange that Google+ is incompatible while all other Google apps seem to work fine. Hopefully the next update will resolve this.

Yesss i found a work around if you download Gapps 5.1 zip file put it onto your UMI internal memory and boot into recovery you can flash the Gapps when you reboot you get a lot of force closes. But all you do is do a factory reset and everything works perfectly. Remember to do a backup before attempting this.
