[Q] Gapps flashing error

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.''
can any please help me... sorry im still a newbie....

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.

[Q] Hangouts = Google Play Service not supported on this device ?

My g/f phone is on the last version of Saba Prime v16. We did a force update to get Hangouts today and it worked fine..... until we rebooted it. Now Hangouts reports "Google Play Service,which some of your applications rely on,is not supprted by your device.Please contact the manufacturer".
Google Play Services and Hangouts were uninstalled, phone rebooted, then from play store they were installed again but the message persists.
I have a Desire S with Fallout rom, the same version of both apps and works fine even after multiple reboots....
Any ideas ?

I'm getting the same issue on a VZW Nexus. The weird thing is I have 2 Nexus LTE, one mine, one is my wife's. Both are running the exact same ROM/gapps/kernel/radio.... On one device the update to hangouts was flawless, on the other I get "device not compatible". Then a "play services" won't update error....
I've wiped the ROM clean install and tried to update before restoring other apps and still have issues.
Anybody have ideas to correct?

First idea is it sounds like it might be due to different versions of gapps before installing hangouts; I know that the gapps I flashed onto my phone got updated at some point afterwards, and now looks different to the package I downloaded and flashed originally.
Second idea, do your phones have the same CID? (i.e. same carrier, same sim-unlock state).

Okay I fixed on my end...
It seems as though it was on Google's server end, if that's possible.
The short answer for me was, wipe data > install ROM > install hangouts via apk (previously downloaded)> reboot > flash gapps > update Google now> update Google play services.... Viola. Seems like there should have been an easier fix.
Long Answer
I tried wiping data reinstalling ROM and gapps and that DID NOT work. I was getting the same error for Hangouts, Google Now, and Play Services and then some.... "Device not compatible"
I tried the exact same thing but logged into my Google account rather than my wife's and it worked just fine. No errors... Retried wiping ROM and flashing gapps, used her account, device not compatible again. That's why I'm guessing it was server side if that's possible. Even the web version of Play Store was saying device not compatible. CIDs were restored in each case and running same AOKP version and same Gapps.
That lead me to trying the install without Gapps... You only get so far before you must login to Google for obvious reasons, but for what ever reason, having the app installed on my phone before signing into gapps allowed for updating all of the other Play Services without issue.
It doesn't make sense to me but I'm up and running now...

My Solution
I'm a little late to the party, but this is the easiest post to find on Google for this problem. Mine worked after fresh ROM install, but it would start giving the error after a reboot. After much searching the thing that ultimately worked for me was to uninstall updates for the Play Store. I haven't uninstalled Play Services and after the Store auto updated, I could use Hangouts once again. I am using a HTC Desire with Cool Droid v3 GSM ROM.

I can confirm that steps suggested by MikeAce00 worked flawlessly.
This is what I did with a rom with gapps installed already
1. wipe & install rom -- do not input google credentials
2. install hangouts (google+ not necessary!) apk manually
3. input google credentials
4. update google play services (Hangouts even requested this...happened automatically after inputting the google credentials)
5. restart
6. done! -- hangouts should work
For me it did not seem to make any difference if you restart directly after installing hangouts apk or after inputting the google credentials

I've tried the methods proposed here, but no luck. At poinjt 4 I don't get a request for update, just the same old message about google play services not being supported.
I'm currently going through older versions of gapps and see if I get to a point where Google Play updates the right files in the right order.

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

MiPad 2 - Installing Google Play Store

Hi,
I bought a new Xiaomi MiPad 2 64GB Android version but was bit disappointed when I didn't find Google Play Store in it. I tried different suggestion on the internet to install apks manually from various forums (not sure if those apk were legitimate, bit scary now when I think about it) and got play store somehow installed but none of the apps would install. It goes to the stage where you are shown the window with permission the app needs and it fails with a message.
I have restarted the tablet multiple times, tried installing many apps, uninstalled the google installer and reinstalled it but to no avail. Its very disappointing that its so difficult to get google play store on to an Androind tablet!
Has anybody got any suggestions, should I wipe off what Xiaomi provides and get a new ROM in (I haven't done custom ROM installations before)?

I Think You Have To Flash Gapps to Make Playstore Work Mate From Your Recovery ..
As Your Phone is New, You Have To Install A Custom Recovery Like TWRP to Flash Google Apps(GAPPS) ..
Check this link for That ..

ok, thank you

You have to change the Data file system to ext4 and then reflash the OS with TWRP. Helps to have an usbOTG cable and a thumb drive with the os.zip and Supersu.update.zip on it because as soon as you reformat the data file, say goodbye to everything on the device. So backup all your stuff to a pc or what have you first. After that your Google apps will work fine. You can just download Google Services framework5.1-1743759(22), Google Account Manager5.1-1743759, Google Play Services10.0.84(x86+x86_64), and Google Play Store7.3.07 from APK Mirror and go to settings, Autostart and select the three that show up. Restart your device and you are good to go.

Help..White settings screen after gapps installation

On a tablet Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 (3G) I installed Lineage OS 14.1, then after I installed the PICO Gapps I realized that the settings screen of the tablet was completely white without any writing .. At this point I tried to reflash from TWRP Lineage but it gave me an error, I then tried to do a factory reset wipe but the automatic startup configuration of lineage crashed, I then tried to make a format given by TWRP and this once android started but I found the gapps and the white screen on settings, how should I do so that I cleanly install the rom in order to solve the problem of the white screen in settings, then trying to install the gapps avoiding that it recurs the white screen problem in settings? Thanks a lot to those who want to help me, I don't know how to solve it.

I tried to do an advance wipe (Davilk, System, Cache, data and internal storage) and then I made a format data, doing so I flashed the rom correctly without errors, immediately after I also installed the pico gapps, thinking that maybe installing them at the same time as the rom that problem of the white screen on settings would not have arisen, while instead nothing has changed unfortunately .. so now I wanted to reflect the rom and try to solve differently with the gapps, but it always gives me error 7 as you can see from screen, the first time it worked facendadvance wipe and formed date now even doing this I always get this error ... the strange thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't ... someone can help me to solve it please?
read here in the post I wrote, practically the first time it worked by reading the guide you gave me and I managed to flash the rom, then I immediately put the gapps back thinking that maybe installing them together with the rom they worked while I always have the problem of the screen white ... so I wanted to reflect the rom without putting the gapps back and then maybe try to install them differently but it gives me the usual error and it does it even if I delete everything as the guide you sent me that the first time had worked ...someone can help me to solve it please?

update, after many tests in the end I managed to flash the rom, there is no explanation, simply trying and trying again it decided to work .. now I have not installed the gapps and the android settings screen I see it correctly ... now what I ask you how can I install the gapps so that I do not create this problem of the white screen in settings? I don't care who knows what google works, I just need the play store I downloaded the PICO gapps from directly from the gapp site by choosing ARM + 7.1 + PICO As you can imagine I would like to avoid finding myself with the same problem again since it is not easy to solve, I am not an expert, so I rely on you .. Thanks a lot to those who want to help me.

Use SD card for installation los zip. And download it again, if you'll still get same error than change TWRP version.

yes I used the sd card to install the rom, I just made a post a few seconds before you wrote saying that you have solved the installation of the rom. Actually I downloaded the rom again, but I don't think this is the cause since a few minutes before the installation of the rom had worked ... then I also tried to transfer the rom file back from the pc to the microsd and it always did not work, as soon as the 'i downloaded again it worked..so i guess it was a coincidence ... Now as I said in the previous post to yours, the problem is how to install the gapps or in any case, even just the play store is okay with me ... I would like to avoid the problem of the white screen in android settings that I had by installing the PICO gapps recur again ... anyway I wrote everything in detail in the previous post ... I hope someone can help me. Thanks

My bee it's gapps bug, this is not the first time to happening this.
I don't use gapps at all, specially not on that prehistoric device. It's laggy and pretty much slow and useless.. I advice you to check AuroraStore (FOSS Google play) on xda forum or install f-droid and search it there.

so the white screen on settings is a problem that has already happened to others with the installation of gapps, the strange thing is that I have seen on tyoutube others who have installed it without problems having the same device .. however if there are alternatives I can do without it.
I installed Aurora store 4.1.1, in the installation procedure I left the checkmarks that were by default and I always went ahead .. right? I did a bit of research to test this new app since I didn't know it .. and I saw that it has everything, but maybe not everything that the play store has, for example the YAP app (by nexi payment) it is not there, while for example on aptoide it is found .. why? From what I understood Aurora store should have all the apps from the play store so it is strange that there is not this one too.
