Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )
Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^
Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect
hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''

Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.
Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.

Hi
I just installed Cyanogenmod 7 Magpie for g1/Dream.
But gapps are not here, and I tried a few version and it doesn't work.
Can someone point me to the right version of gapps?
thanks
What do you need specifically?
If you need GMail, GTalk, GMap, you can download that from the market. That is what I did.
I've had the same problem, just install magpie then install google apps. restart. then you will see you don't have them so you restart again and you should at least see books in your list.
Well, this is what I did
EzGb Gapps are working with cm7 magpie. Install the latest one (top of the last quote)

ok thanks I got the file and flashed it...then I can log in to my google account and download the gapps...but it just stopped in the middle of the downloading process, I see the desktop, empty, and can do nothing .
Is there a different .zip for EB1 (french Dream)?
There are two .zip for installing CM 7 Magpie in french, should I install the one whose name contains "obex"...I don't know what is obex?
thanks
It's odex, not obex, but no, you don't need that. You need the latest version of the rom: update-cm-7-20110727-Magpie-DS-signed.zip plus gapps from terry's thread, don't worry it contains french.
I assume that you assume FR means french but no, it means Firerat, so you installed a very old version of the rom.
Btw about the market install/download fails
Buuggggss
I expect there are more than listed here
Sometimes a market install fails complaing about space
usually a second attempt works
the pm command can start a soft reboot if the file argument you give it doesn't exist
It was broken before I started messing with it, I should fix it but keep forgetting
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes indeed I assumed FR meant French!
Ok but when I tried to install the the more recent .zip, I had the android.phone app crashing constantly, making the phone unusable.
edit: I reflashed the rom, and the gapps at the same time, it seems to work fine now.
thanks to you all
Wipe properly, from fastboot! If you use ext, than format it. Everything should be okay.
I'm running it right now, since it's released. I didn't have a single problem with it, it's a lil slow compared to fbl, but it's working ok.
I didn't know it was better to wipe from fastboot.
I wiped from recovery, I flashed the rom and gapps immediately. Then I booted to rom, and it is ok.
Cyanogenmod 7 magpie seems to work fine, but, indeed, a little slower than froyobylaszlo. How froyobylaszlo was getting unusable for me because of the "damaged sd card" error, and made me loose a lot of data (and was not in french).
Thanks to you all for your help.
Hi,
Yeah I'm noob (video is realy good )
Question is, how to strip down/change gapps package, so I can install only google play/android market with out another stuff like pico, tts, maps etc on costum rom???
Phone: Xperia Ray
Rom: 4pdarepack ics
Kernel: from aire
I unlocked bootloader, after choose best rom for me bla bla bla
Reason why I did it, was em how to put it...it is pain in ass to read all these notifications lika Google will sen data about your browsing and location bla bla bla... So I chose 4pdarepack rom and kernel and smile was back on my face...till I wanted to set up my favorite app's...ok I need Google Play or android market app... but only way to get that is to install gapps package...wich is 40-80mb! I thinket...are you kidding me? I was so happy to se that rom takes only 45mb, and now I need to install all garbage back?
I don't need anything from all that, only market. I have searched for many days, market alternatives, deleting apk from zip etc... so far seem that all people is flashing roms, wich is clear of that stuff and after install it back
No info wich files is crushial for market to run etc, practikaly no info at all about gapps zip striping etc...

so there are files that are in the gapps package to have google communicate efficiently. My best option for you is to delete the apks... and it looks like your aware of it, so how did that work for you? all you need is the vending.apk.
edit:
have you tried just installing the play/market apk?
veding or phonesky(in newest gapps) alone isn't working alone, seems there is another apk wich needed, if I install Google play store as normal apk, not with recovery, Store is quiting after few seconds...
I belive there is some services, framework and another apk's witch is needed to run store. But so far no success.
If I install all gapps from CW it ok...but again there if tons of stuff siting in Ram and Rom, wich I don't like.
p.s so far I found gaosp gapps light/ultra light, wich would be nice, if only it where not for Samsung Galaxy
hmm I know it needs market updater apk as well. but I have a light gapps package ive modded for you but I cant upload it since im at work with a super disabled pc. only hosting site that 'works' for me is dev-host... but I just tried uploading the 15mb file I have and the dam site froze my crappy work pc... ill try later when I get home if I remember. but I think the file I have will work for you. I can take screen shots and up them here so you can see what I have kept and copy that layout to see if that will work for you???
That would be great.
So, any news about that one?
I wonder why this isn't a mainstream issue?
I'd like to know he answer to your question.
My phone also closes Play Store when installed alone, without Gapps pack ever having seen my CM10.1
I'm not aware if installation will succeeed if i just go amok and delete some apks from GApps.
Please could anybody pack the least necessary framework/service with phonesky.apk?
I've searched up the forums and I did not get the solutions I sought.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini ST-5570, running on CM10 27 August nightly build. When I attempted to flash gapps, Play Store didn't appear at all, no matter which one I flashed (2 August-signed or the one by KonstaT). In the apps list (manage apps), Play Store wasn't even there. Is there a way to fix this problem such that when I flash gapps it would appear?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Try flashing another one. Make sure the one you flash is for your android version.
CM doesn't contain gapps, so, download the apk of play store, and copy to your sdcard, them, open with any explorer

This won't work because it needs to be installed as a system app.

Actually, I have just found out the root of this problem - my phone has "not enough space available", so I had to do all the "adb commands" to delete all my ringtones and unnecessary stuff -.- But the problem is, my internal phone space gets rather low recently.
I would love to try out the inverted gapps sometime. What is it actually?

Gapps is a package containing certain Google Apps (that what it means). Usually these apps are not found in the market (anymore). It also contains some Google framework files. That version may be smaller, containing only the essential stuff.
make 2 partitions in your sd card, them, install link2sd, after that, transfer some programs to sdcard, after that, install gapps in recovery mode:

Hello Everyone,
First time post. I scoured through numerous posts about the Play Store unable to find one related to mine. I will give as much detail as I can. Pretty simple if you are savy with rooting.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
ROM Installed: MazWoz-Evo-B6 (Jellybean
GoogleApps Version: gapps-JB-20121124
Have attempted other ROMS and gapps versions. Just a few. But enough to know I must be missing a step or it is just broken and no one has it running :S. I have cleared all the cache, both the Play Store app cache and in Recovery mode Cache's. I just started into this Rooting last night. Very comfortable installing different ROMS. But why is the Play Store broken on each one? I have tried installing the ROM, Booting up, shutting down and than installing Gapps. Along with installing Gapps right after the Rom install. I clear everything for fresh install of both. It is getting me no where and the internet is full of all kinds of topics related to the Play Store. But nothing that fixes this issue.
I can not get connected to the Google Play Store. Using an existing google account to log in with, it never makes it into the store. But using this step does setup the email for the phone. Maybe that will help pinpoint an idea to you guru's. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!

first thing. ensure that your rom download and gapps download are both good downloads and not corrupt. even partially corrupt files can flash unless you used md5 checksums. But since each rom is having a problem... really looks like your gapps might be the problem...
thats something to check at least...
Play Store DB reset

Android's play store is oddly configured. Depending on your rom's tweaks, a variety of things can cause playstore issues including: LCD Density (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.model= (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.manufacturer= (via /system/build.prop), and lastly the Google Play Database file.
Sorry I can't remember the location of this file, but basically on our phones there is a database file, I believe an SQL DB. If you have lots of problems, you can try to close google play, erase cache/data to the app, then rename the db file to **OriginalNameOfFile**.BAK
open google play, and it should be fixed

you can try flashing the gapps package and then individually uninstalling the parts you dont want from system apps by using a file explorer such as ES file explorer...
but as far as i know to run the play store you need to login to google account.
The component it needs is the Google services framework. You cannot use the play store without it.
However....you can disable the parts you don't like. It involves more than just deleting apps you don't want though. You have to disable stuff in the Google services framework to really shut the unwanted components off.
Check the thread in my signature. Go to the 2nd of 3rd post where I have a list of questions. Find the one about wake locks caused by the Google services framework and check out then link in that question. That will tell you how to edit the Google services framework and get you started on that process.
If you follow that guide exactly as I have written it you will end up with basically only the play store working and all other Google apps shut down. It nearly eliminates Google wake locks and might have a positive impact on battery use as a result. The only catch is that your WiFi and data icons will always be grey. They won't change color when connected .
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
