[Q] Why i cant install WhatsApp??

Hello!
I'm new on this forum and i have a question.
I just installed [ROM] MiniCM7-2.1.9 [11/2/12]Gingerbread 2.3.7/CM7.2 unofficial port for the pro
and i cant install WhatsApp and that rom hasn't market what can i do?
Sorry for my bad english.

Go to Settings -> Applications -> check Unknown Sources.
Then go to google and search "download whatsapp" the first link should provide you with the apk. After you download it just tap it and you will be prompted with an install screen. Hope it works for you

there should be a google apps add-on somewhere in the thread. look for it, download it and flash it. then the market app should appear already.
edit: i checked the thread and the link is at "Instructions" point 3. just click on it to download.
oh. and remember to wipe cache and dalvik cache before u flash it.

Thanks guys but it isn't any solution for my problem, I made this things but couldn't install WhatsApp, just gonna wait for new Rom or install older.

If you want the Market to work, try flashing Gapps. If you want Whatsapp to work, try downloading it off the internet, Simply google "Whatsapp.akp Download" and download it from some site. If it can't install, try to check unsinged apps (see 2th reply on this thread) Or perhaps reflashing the rom, with a cache whipe/ fix premissons.

Fixed, basically did that in TWRP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANIrs87Vb9Q

Its good you fixed however if you encounter the problem again, try wiping the cache and data for Google play store and services.

[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.

Google Play services not working

Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I found a thread with "Google Play Services Stops Working" with no fix for this problem and unfortunately this issue started affecting me when I completely wiped the phone with OS (accident) on it and started from scratch.
I tried latest version of play store, not so late, different installation methods and the result is still same. After awhile the google account is deleted and play services are not working.
I forgot to mention when the OS was restored and updated I had to manually install Play services.
It says not supported by my device. Is there any way how to get it permanently fixed again ?
Thanks in advance,
E.

How did you install GAPPS (Google Apps with all the needed services?

I downloaded latest play store .apk and installed it from there. I even tried different versions, different sources ...
It's working for few hours and then it stops working ( I click on play store and it's just about to open, few ms quick white flash and nothing happens) and I have to reinstall it and redo my accounts.

You have flashed all the services and apps google play store need?

Try flashing the latest opengapps package.
Use the following options to generate:
Platform: ARM64
Android: 5.1
Version: you choose

maybe try install gapps from HiAPP (market from huawei)

No need. I had the same issue; at some point my stock Play Market just vanished, ran into a bunch of other issues, but solved it by installing a full gapps package generated on opengapps (I use the pico version).

I installed gapps successfully :highfive:
There was some error with MD5 but at the end it was fine.
Let's wait and hope it did what it was supposed to do.
Thank you guys
