1. Did you flash Gapps
2. Did you do a full wipe before flashing aokp
3. Have you tried to clear cache and wipe data under google play app managment in settings.

1. Did you flash Gapps
No - just search the forum and google for a tutorial. Where do i find the google pack for my device
2. Did you do a full wipe before flashing aokp
Think so, because i did it step by step and followed all instructions.
3. Have you tried to clear cache and wipe data under google play app managment in settings.
How do i do that?

Thx for your answer and sorry for the "stupid" questions, i am totally new to this.

Its not a stupid question its quite a common problem. For gapps you can get them here, i am not sure if the rom you are running is Gb or ICS but you will need to download the relvent gapps for the relvent firmware.
Gapps - gapps gives you all the apps from google like google play, maps, google music, google search e.t.c

Are you able to get an error message with "adb logcat" when plugged in to the computer? Often it won't show the actual error on the screen. If you still get the error please post

[Completed] [Q] Impossible to install GAPPS for Slimbean ROM

I have a rooted HTC Desire X.
I installed slimbean from scratch following the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-x/development/rom-slimbean-3-1-unofficial-t2842487
1.- Wipe everything from TWRP, factory reset, internal storage and system.
2.- Install slim-0.1-protou-090814.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed
3.- Reboot
After reboot I connect the smartphone to the wifi and when I try to open Play Store it opens and closes by itself.
I tryed everything! Clearing apps cahe, factory reset from TWRP after installation, updating Play Store and Play services from Aptoide, installing gapps-jb-20130813-signed, installed cm10 instead of slimbean... All with the same result.
The only way I could make Google Play to open was with MIUI ROM. But this ROM is only in english, german and chineese and has a lot of bugs.
I think that the problem is that I can't add my gmail account for some reasson, maybe a play services problem. If I go to settings/accounts and press + button nothing happens.
Please I would appreciate help because now I have an unusefull device.

Your best bet is to ask in the thread you got the ROM from or to post in the Q&A section of your device.
Have you tried turning off wifi to connect to Play? I see this was an issue previously and not sure it was fixed on SlimBean, but is fixed on SlimKat.

Thank you for your interest KennyG123,
Yes, I tryed to open it without connection to the Internet and it does the same.
It's a good advice, I will post this in the slim ROM for HTC Desire X threat since I think this should be a general problem, because I haven't installed nothing else.

I tryed to post this problem in the main slimbean threat but no one is answering there anymore so I keep trying.
I instaled cyanogenmod 10.2 with gapps-jb-20130813
I have the same problem but i found out that the problem is that I can't sign in with my Gmail account.
CM12 has a first set up menú that opens the first time you load android after flashing it. In this menú I am asked to enter my Gmail account but when i press add Nothing happends. So I can only ignore this step to continúe.
If I go to settings/accounts/+add account i go to another menú mail/work account/cyanogenmod/google. If I press Google it goes to the previous screen.
It looks like if gapps doesn't work for this old ROMs anymore.

Play Store doesn't load icons and images

Here's my problem, I've flashed the latest gapps on my m8 and everything works just fine, however, I noticed that play store are not showing images and icons for all the apps. It load just a few of them randomly. And screenshots NEVER loads.
I still can download and update things.
For reference, I checked the " Hosts " file and this came up on the top:

64.233.188.102 googlemail-pop.l.google.com
64.233.188.102 smtp.gmail.com[...]
It happens both on WiFi and mobile data.
Already performed a "clear data" in both play store and Google play services, sign-out from my play store account, wipe dalvik/data via recovery. Etc.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a rom based on the stock sense's lollipop
There's really any significant changes.
My model is the Chinese one (M8t) if that matters.
When I flashed the gapps using the original rom it didn't happened, however, it was the FULL gapps, containing a lot of bloat. This time around I used a minimal package, containing only the essential for play store to work (play services etc).
Thanks.

ok so there is two ways
1- the flashing process didn't go well
2-gapps problem
actually i use minimal gapps for android 5.1.1 and i don't have any problems
so you have the following to do :
1- re-flash the ROM and then reboot ..let your phone settle down..reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvick cache then flash the minimal gapps
2-reflash the minimal gapps without the re-flashing the ROM ....(over-write the gapps again )
if both ways didn't work for you i recommend you change the GAPPS (maybe try delta gapps or get back to full )
good luck man

Thanks mate.
It's weird because I can't find Google+ through the play store , my Play games account doesn't connect.
My gapps package wasn't downloaded from xda, maybe that's the problem.
Could you link me to the one you're using?

5.0.2... And, nope, didn't work.
it still doesn't load icons an screenshots... I need serious help here. This is the only rom that works on my m8, since I don't have the RUU for it
Someone must have a solution for my issue. It should be something related to the "Hosts" file inside System>Etc.
Guys, don't let me in the dark.

Hmm. I al so get this problem but on 4.1.2 JB . There is way how to solve iy. Just go to setting. Go to wifi. Tap on your wifi and choose modify network. Tap advance optins. Choose static. And adjust your dns2 to 4.4.4.4 and the other one is 8.8.8.8 . Try to swap this two if this not working.

[Completed] Trying to install gapps after fresh CyanogenMod install

Apologies for the ugly formatting - it seems I am unable to post normal links as a new user.
I successfully installed CM11 on my phone.
I am trying to add google apps. The recommended method given on the cyanogenmod wiki is to install open gapps.
However, I would much prefer to download directly from google if possible, so I can be confident that I know what is in the download. (I looked at the opengapps github page as well, but that seems to also contain a bunch of binary files of unknown source.)
So I tried visiting the google play store from my phone, and downloading from this URL "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms". I get the message "Congratulations! Google Play services will be installed on your device soon". Unfortunately, there is no sign of it in Settings/Apps. Rebooting my phone didn't help, and nor did checking 'Allow installation of apps from unknown sources' in Settings/Security.
Can anybody suggest what I might be missing here?

Hi
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
You have to flash a GApps package. Give a try to SlimGapps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62585871&postcount=5251
The source code is available on Github.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it looks like it will just give me a different version of the same problem - I still can't download the apps myself. Surely there must be some way to do that?

Google Play services are included into GApps packages and you have nothing to download from Google Play to have a working device.
After flashing a rom you only have to flash Google Play and some libs/framework and they are included into all the GApps packages.
