Cannot get Gapps to flash on CM7.2 Stable.

I followed the instructions for the CM7.2ROM but I cannot get the Gapps to flash even though it says it successfully installed the Google Apps. I did the "gapps-gb-2011-0114-signed.zip". Should I be using a different one?

What do you mean by saying it didn't flash? Also, you're using an older version, not the latest

CWM says it did flash successfully, but none of the Google Apps are in the app drawer. I wanted to use a stable version so that's why I went with the CM7.2.

Did you flash it immediately after the ROM? Or did you reboot first, then flash it?

Also, the latest gapps is 828. You can download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297553

I did it immediately after the ROM, then i tried it later on and both ways didn't work.

Did you go through the initial setup after booting?

With the ROM? Yes. Also now the battery is stuck reporting 100%.

I reflashed CM7.2Stable, then the Faux kernel, then Gapps. I waited 10 minutes after the ROM flash and then rebooted between kernel/gapps flashes. The progress bar got to about 20% and then said installation complete in CWM. Also, the battery has a question mark instead of a level. Maybe the kernel isn't playing nice?

Have you tried a nightly instead of stable? Nightlies are pretty much stable now. Also, I'd recommend temasek's cm7 build. Super smooth and stable, as well as more tweaks. Do it all without rebooting in between. Also make sure you have an up to date CWM or TWRP.

This Temasek ROM? I'm using CWM 5.0.2.0.
Where's the current CM7 thread? The "Take 2" went to page 101 and then it was closed. I tried downloading the most recent nightly and it's an empty file. cm-7-20120812-NIGHTLY-p999.zip

Ok getting it now. Which gapps version should I use? I've been trying to flash "gapps-gb-20110828-signed" this whole time.

Ok, so just to verify my process should look something like this:
0. Backed up NANDROID in case I screw something up...
1. Wipe Data/Factory Data Reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Wipe Battery Stats
5. Flash ROM (cm7kang-G2x-128)
6. Flash GAPPs (gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip)
7. Flash kernel (Faux 050)
Sit 10 minutes, then start messing with it.
Look good? Do I have to format "/system" after step 3??

The zip auto wipes system, you also don't need to wipe battery stats.

Also the Factory Reset wipes /cache too so no need to do that twice either.
Flashing Temasek ROM now and will use Faux 050 and gapps at the same time.
EDIT: Ughh... Gapps only went to 20$ or so and then zipped across and said it was installed. Is it suppose to take its time with the progress bar?

Update cmw and try another rom to see if ur having the same problem.

So I feel like an idiot... I thought this whole time that the gapps included Maps, Gmail, etc but unzipping the ZIP file it's only the market and a few other things. My phone definitely has Market/Play store and everything else there. Drrr....
So, what's the difference between the Tenasek and CM7.2 nightlies? Is one better than the other? Same goes for Trinity and Faux kernels.

Ohh... forget that 240 app (it's another problem in which dalvik cache must be deleted) .
Here is the solve for every thing (bricked , boot loop , upgrade , downgrade ,,,) it's flash a *.bin firmware, at first you will see it too hard but it's easy .

Also when you flashed the ROM did you do a full wipe?
Wipe user data factory reset
Format cache
Format dalvik cache
Format system
Format data
Format boot
Flash ROM
Flash gapps
Reboot and let kernel settle.

Inside the recovery, reflash CM10.1, reboot
If you still have trouble, go back to recovery and factory data reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik and reflash CM10.1
After it's done, just reboot.
