I've been updating Cyanogenmod with the Nightlies. Since the March updates, I've not been able to install gapps, even with the newest version. I've Googled on this, and I've tried everything I could find. I've made sure I had the latest version of gapps, I've wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache, and I've mounted the system partition before installing the zip. I've even done a factory reset. At one point, I was so far gone with all the different things I was trying that I had to revert back to a stock setup.
When I install the gapps zip file in Clockworkmod, everything looks fine. No errors or anything. It goes through the install process, and it completes, but when I reboot, I have no Google Apps installed.
I have a 4g Xoom (Verizon).
The different CWM versions I've had this issue with have been:
cm-10.1-20130309-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130315-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
The latest gapps version I've been trying to install is:
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Thank you.
I have xoom wifi. the version of gapps I have is:
gapps-unified-jb-20130220-signed.zip
it should be somewhere in the portal as that's where I downloaded from. see it may work for you too.

Not sure if this is an option for you, but have you tried running gapps-jb-20130105-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip?

I did try this, just for the sake of trying something as I am having the same issues as the OP.
I flashed the latest nightly cm-10.1-20130330-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip on my Xoom and then tried the EOS version of GApps. It just bootlooped numerous times. I flashed the ROM, then flashed GApps. I cleared cache/data/dalvik with no luck, it just brought me back to recovery.
Any ideas? I know it is a nightly, so I am not too worried about it. I am just playing around.
You should try the new unified gapps for Cm, the link is listed in the OP of the cm 10.1 thread. Also, if you are using cwm recovery, try twrp. Your recovery could be causing issues

Thanks! I will give that a try when I get home. Went straight to the CyanogenMod site to get GApps so I missed that.
Well, I made a very simple mistake. I only read the directions partially, assuming everything would work like flashing my phone or Nexus 7. I wiped data, wiped dalvik, installed the ROM and then installed GApps. I booted my Xoom and of coarse, even with the unified version of GApps, it still did not work.
I repeated the process but did not install GApps. I let the device boot and then went back in to recovery. I flashed GApps and rebooted and it works perfectly. I did not try another version of GApps this time.
Lesson learned.

Download Google appstore zip file by itself.. After flashing gapps, flash the appstore by itself as well.. Worked for me
Latest Nightly issue Camera+Gallery
I'm using the 20130609 nightly in my Everest, but re-flashing the Unified Apps from CM 10.1 official thread doesn't work. On the 20130601 nightly it works like a charm!.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s: As an advice, I tried formatting system partition in CWM, reinstall nightly and gapps. All works fine now!
I am trying to use flash paranoid android and flashing this version of gapps along with it: pa_gapps-stock-4.4.2-20140412-signed. When I go to flash the ROM, it succeeds without issue, but when I go to flash gapps it says that it cant open the zip fie of gapps and than in parenthesis it says (bad). and than it says installation aborted. Please help!!!

I have tried from several places with the same gapps version. Can I try to install a older version of gapps and than just let them automatically update once I have booted?

I already started flashing the the version of gapps that I posted and it worked! Paranoid Android gave me an update to the latest gapps and now it is updating. Thank you for your help. Also, what should I do if I want to switch to OmniROM later on. Can I just flash the OmniROM zip and the gapps zip or do I have to do something extra?

Comming from paranoid, I suggest first to back up apps data and wipe caches before the flashing the Rom .
You should not have any issues there after but if any, the wipe data and flash Rom and pa gapps

So do the same process as when I was flashing paranoid. All I have to do is wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik chache, and flash the rom and the gapps?

Yep, that's pretty much what's recommended for changing Roms. I personally don't clean anything when flashing similar Roms but PA is a bit complex imo and you already had issues with it. so, wipe.

Ok for some reason, gapps updated and then it said that it has to install so it rebooted me into recovery and it started to install but it said that there was an error in the rom manager script or something like that. So I just got fed up and restored my backup that I had. So now I am back on stock. I want to install OmniROM though tomorrow.

So lets say that I just want to install OmniROM. Will OmniROM work with CWM?
Also will I be able to automatically update gapps once OmniROM boots because for some reason I cannot flash the latest version of gapps so I have to use an older version?
You can also get gapps from goo manager and the online version.

It's not that PA doesn't work with CWM, just the ota app.
OmniROM requires twrp or CWM-based recovery. Not CWM itself if I recall.
You also have zero reason to install those gapps updates on either rom..
Gapps are updated automatically through the play store.

ok. Sorry if I am asking too many unnecessary questions. So since I have ClockWorkMod Recovery, I can easily install OmniROM by just flashing it and than installing gapps after that right?

Yes. You can do the same thing with ParanoidAndroid also. You DO NOT need to update gapps through the ota app

I didnt see any new features, no "on screen nav" no "ambient display", "tap to unlock screen"...but instead the gallery is now missing.... What do i do, will it get fixed by the on coming nightlies?

Hi,
Flash a new nightly build should fix all problems from previous version. Try it.

Hey,thanks for the reply bud. Well, i normally update my nightlies using cyandelta but this idea struck me and day before yesterday itself i flashed a nightly manually... (Dowloading the zip file, going into recovery and installing and then clearing dalvik/cache). It worked fine got booted and all but nothing had changed still no gallery no features. Ya and there was one more issue that i forgot mentioning earlier... The trebuchet setting is missing too, cant change my icon size and stuff either. What do i do help me...

Wipe /system partition and flash again. A GApps package might be cause this.

Wipe only /system partition. This prevents backup script that applied by GApps package that you have installed before.
For GApps, are you using parameters or additional scripts when installing GApps? Maybe you should remove all parameters before installing GApps. Parameters/scripts save their backup scripts, so if you dirty flash the ROM, the backup script will be executed first.

So basically what you're saying is that I go to twrp (wipe only system partition, flash the nightly file and reboot)? What about the gapps? Wouldn't it wipe the ROM and the gapps files?
Anyways I flashed the gapps the normal way after flashing the ROM file. I tried flashing the whole thing again though, made the nandroid backup, then in twrp tried flashing it the failproof method (wiping cahce/dalvik/data and SYSTEM), flashed the cm12.1 nightly file and one other gapps 5.1 file (not the one I flashed earlier) it got booted fine, I did get my gallery and trebuchet settings back. But the on screen nav and other various features are still missing. I even tried searching the on screen nav buttons in settings, it does appear but when I touch it, it takes me to the buttons settings and there is no setting called on screen nav .

Hey there buddy, i tried wiping my system partition and flashing the rom. But i didn't flash the GApps package and did a reboot....thinking that GApps is causing the problem...... it got rebooted and i still couldn't find the on screen nav bar.
So this aint because of the GApps right?

No, that is from the ROM itself.
Edit: On-screen nav bar is only present on Official CM for devices who don't have hardware nav bar.

That is because you coming from miui7. Install fastboot 6.X, install twrp, reinstall custom rom. Should work. Make sure you fastboot flash your 6.X miui. Follow guide in this LINK
i think you should have gone for arm64 5.1 stock gapps
it did the work for me my mi4i is now running on CM12.1
thanks to @dh.harald & @omerjerk
now ready to try CM13
You must flash MIUI 6.X in order for it to work, else it won't boot.
