gapps.zip questions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Can this be flashed onto cm9 at any point, or does it have to be at the clean install? Also is there any difference between using the zip and just installing the apps from the play store in cm9 other than saving time by having them all in a bundle?
Thanks..

1. Yes you can though some people have had some bugs where the home and search button wouldn't work if gapps weren't flashed before the 1st boot
2. Cm9 and other aosp roms don't have any of the Google apps including the play store so you HAVE to install gapps
Hope that helped buddy

[Q] after flashing team eos ics 2.0 stable

hi, im new to the whole root/flashing concept but decided that motorola are dragging their heals in too long to bring the xoom mz601 upto to ics if ever so ive managed to unlock/root and flash with everything all up and running apart from internet connection not working but ive found solution and the only other issue ive got is both the gmail and youtube apps fail to update from playstore with the message (package file was not signed correctly. uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again) so i need advice on how to fix this please, how do i remove apps and if so will it cause a system issue? anyone help a noob?
did you flash a gapps package with your new rom??
@draxin hi, yes i flashed EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.5 immediately after flashing Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip
both gmail and youtube work but show update in playstore and give that package file was not correctly signed message when trying to update. just noticed there is a newer version of gapps named: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip which ive downloaded directly from the goo.im app but am not sure if i need to flash Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip again first or can i just flash the new gapps and will i need to clear anything?
update
Just updating that I decided to try a reflash of Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip and then immediately flashed new gapps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip ) and after a couple of tries I've now got latest Gmail and YouTube as the latest gapps had removed them which made life easier for a noob like me. Loving my Xoom even more now with team eos ics running on it and looking forward to the next stable build which hopefully gives the data arrows on network signal as its really odd not knowing if data is being transferred in/out plus extended battery life would be great too although I'm sure I along with thousands will be waiting for jellybean stable release by the year end.
Seems I came late in here. Anyway, you could have flashed the latest gapps without reflashing the rom. Good luck and enjoy ..

hi, never too late as its nice to know what is possible and what is not. is there away to get just play music to flash as ive managed to delete it as for some reason it wont play any of my songs yet it finds them ok, not sure if the old music.apk was in gapps but ive got that and it works but i would like to see if i can get the newer music2.apk to work
Music.apk is part of android (aosp)
Play music is on the play store.
Gmail and YouTube are no longer part of gapps I believe because they are both on the play store

I thought play music was in the play store but its not anywhere to be found in UK store which is why I was asking, I could flash gapps again as that's in there but it wouldn't play any songs. If there is a fix for it playing then flashing gapps would be easiest option I believe, I've been told I can flash gapps without flashing rom again but should I wipe cache and dalvik before any flashing?

Always give a new rom sometime to settle in before you judge battery life. Like 4 or five cycles and you'll see how it's working.
I'm glad to hear you're loving the Xoom, running EOS!

Google account on ParanoidAndroid rom

Hi! I have ParanoidAndroid Rom v4.6. It works almost perfect, the only one problem is that the video recording doesn't works.
I did a nandroid, flashed v11 and I could't login with the google account, so I came back to v4.6 with nandroid.
When released v12 I flashed it and I can't login with google again.
Why is the reason to don't include that posibility?
(I don't flash GAPPS cause I think there are included with the rom)

Hi,
Gapps = Google apps (like gmail,play store,etc,)
Not camera
Yes I'm running paranoid Android too and you need to flash gaaps, then those things will be added. You can flash 4.2 gaaps. That's the one I flashed. You can find it on Draguns web site under downloads . Look on page one carefully and follow the link. Then you will be all set! Everything is running perfectly. You will be fine after you flash Gaaps. You have two choices regular Gaaps or inverted Gaaps. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Also no it won't over write, the camera.

Google apps are all the apps that connect to Google's servers.
Thank you all of you!

[Q] Gapps for custom ROMs, all the same?

Before I go downloading all the Gapps for each ROM I'm looking to try, is the Gapps different for every ROM or can I just use one from any of the downloads and just run that install whenever I change to a different ROM?It seems to be specific to the ROM, but if I can use one zip I'd prefer to do that. I'd ask the question where I'm getting ROMs, but I need 10 post to post in those threads. :\
I believe it's all the same gapps package but only exceptions would be if the rom provides their own gapps package because it is themed or modded/customized. I could be wrong but I personally have mixed and matched gapps pkgs and everything was fine. Assuming the dates match from the rom and gapps. I use JusTunBean Inverted gapps with ROMs I flash. Hopefully this answered your question. If I'm wrong then hopefully someone can educate me.
For inverted apps these
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797292 or these
http://rootzwiki.com/index.php?/topic/29460-[Inverted]-Inverted-G-Apps-(update-11-18-Play-Store,-Google-+,-Youtube,-Google-Voice,-Google-Music)
and you can use with any Aosp rom. If you want regular apps (non inverted) just grab Goo manager app and select download gapps and you will have latest from Google.

Thanks for the replies guys! This forum is pretty great!
Installed some gapps from goo and it borked my phone and I had to restore back from November to September. I t was the first time I had backed up. I had never tried inverted gapps.

installed aokp 4.2.1 but there is no marketplace or google play to download apps

Hi,
I just installed the 4.2.1 rom from aokp but I can not find out how to download any apps. There is no marketplace or google play app. Do I have to find the .apk and download it manually? If so do I need a special version for 4.2.1?
Thanks
Download and flash Google Apps. Goggle "gapps" and download the version for your ROM.
As previously mentioned you need to download the latest version of Google apps for ROMs based on Android 4.2.1 (Such as the latest version of AOKP) and flash the zip package in recovery. Google apps compatible with Android 4.2.1 can be found here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.

Thanks a bunch. I must have downloaded the wrong one before. Thanks for the links, that did the trick.
Wow, you all are really quick with the answers. Kudos.
Course, now bluetooth seems broken. It seems to be a a2dp issue. I'll post again with a different title but basically when I tried to listen to music/podcasts it is fine for like 3 seconds then turns really staticy and garbled. I heard the latest nightly from 13-01-28 addressed this so I flashed that which is definitely better but the voices seem off like they are speaking at 80% speed. Weird.
Thanks again you all rock!
A suggestion for you is to get Goo manager. Some of the devs have the gapps right there when you select the rom version for download, Lets you download them together. It'll help you get the right gapps for the rom your looking to use.

[ROMs][10/28/2013][D801 T-Mo]Unofficial - CM - Paranoid Android - AOKP - Vanir

Just something I slapped together to see if I can get it working on the D800 and what features I want to incorporate into my multi-flavor CM base build I am working on. I did not take the time to compile these ROMs. Other users have compiled them and I just ported them to work on the D800. Just sharing these versions for now until official ROMs come.

You need GApps...
If you want to report bugs than I suggest you find the ROM thread in the G2 Original or Android Development forums and post the bugs there since the creators will see it.
Will gladly root and flash this right now, anything to help development for us forsaken T-Mobile users lol. Thanks for this.

Would someone flash this and see what happens? It is a hacked CM build to see if it works with T-Mobile. It is CM build for AT&T with kernel from Wootever and the few small changes to be needed to work for T-Mobile. I do not have T-Mobile G2 to test with. If it works I will port a few more ROMs for you T-Mobile users.

Isn't that the gapps for 4.2.2? CM10.2 is 4.3 so you need gapps-jb-20130813 if I'm not mistaken. I'm about to flash the rom and gapps right now and report what I have.

Doing the same as this individual and will see what comes out of it.
So far so good. Was getting random FC on android.process.media while Play Store was downloading all my apps which caused Play Store to crash, but that seemed to have stopped once the Play Store itself updated to the latest version that came out recently (the one where the menu pulls out from the left side rather than via a button).
Now everything seems to be working just fine. No FCing, keyboard works. Gonna report back after a few hours once I take it through its paces for my personal use. Thank you soooo so much, I couldn't stand the stock LG ROM.
EDIT:
No default ringtones or notification sounds if that counts as a bug lol
Also just got a FC from android.process.media again on the home screen randomly.

Can you flash again, from scratch with the proper gapps if you used different GApps?

Thanks! I was going to buy a second device since I can not tie up my main phone flashing and what not. I am short a couple of hunderd so I will put it towards the new device fund. I use AT&T but can get a T-Mobile edition and just sim unlock it. I was going to get the T-Mobile version and unlock it but my friend had an upgrade he did not use and owed me a favor so I got the AT&T version instead.
Everything works in mine minus keyboard fc back key not mapped and random freezing that require a hard reset
