[Q] Installed Cyanogenmod, keyboard crashes - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I rooted, flashed clockwork mod image, and installed CyanogenMod along with gapps through this tutorial: http://www.android.gs/update-verizon-samsung-galaxy-s3-with-official-cm10-m2-jelly-bean-build/
Upon booting up my phone into CyanogenMod, I received errors saying "Unfortunately , Android (AOSP) Keyboard has stopped." I tried everything that I could find to remedy this issue in other threads, but I was unable to fix it. This included flashing different versions of gapps and re-flashing Cyanogenmod. Also, I attempted to install a different keyboard on my phone but was unable to because the CyanogenMod that I flashed does not have a file manager, and because I do not have a keyboard I am unable to sign into google to purchase keyboard apps.
Eventually, I attempted to flash the phone back into a stockRom ( via http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/...535VZWALG1_743127_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.zip and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755386), but these flashes were "aborted" by ClockworkMod with the dead android icon.
I would be greatly appreciative if someone could help me with these issues.

I was having that issue with my old Dinc2. My issue was that I flashed the wrong GApps package. I had to go back like 2 or 3 packages for the message to disappear.

Same mistake
I had the same mistake by grabbing a new Gapps package that was not designed for Jellybean 4.1.2
So I went into recovery and went into mounts and storage and did a format system, went back into main screen and did a wipe data, wipe cache, wipe delvic cache in advance settings and then installed the rom and Gapps that were last updated in October fo 4.1.2
This should let you use the keyboard properly.

[Q] Unable to launch CM 10.1 after flashing the gapps

Hello everyone,
I flashed CM10.1 and the gapps (gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip).
When I boot the phone it lets me enter my pin code, but after that I get those two messages:
"Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps ended."
"Unfortunately the process setup wizard ended."
And I only may click on "ok" ever and ever and ever again.
The only way to get unstuck from this is to remove the battery and restore the phone.
I flashed many times with different builds and different gapps packages too, I ever get the same issue.
I also did it with and without wiping everything.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for your time.

Did you wipe data/cache completely?

Yes I tried with and without wiping. The issue is the same in both cases.

Wipe again, flash CM again, reboot, recovery, flash Gapps, reboot. Must works
I tried again many times and I had the same bugs.
But since this afternoon I used TWRP instead of CWM and now it just works perfect.
I'm sure the issue came from CWM.
Hey guys, I am new to the forum. I am glad I found this thread, I keep running into this same problem.
I have been flashing CM 10.1.2 with what I think is the wrong Gapps flash, gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip. That is the wrong Gapps flash, right?
If that is the wrong .zip, how should I restore back to my Titanium back up from recovery?
this is the correct gapps for 4.2.2 20130301

[Q] Latest gapps not installing on latest cyanogenmod

I've been updating Cyanogenmod with the Nightlies. Since the March updates, I've not been able to install gapps, even with the newest version. I've Googled on this, and I've tried everything I could find. I've made sure I had the latest version of gapps, I've wiped the cache and the Dalvik cache, and I've mounted the system partition before installing the zip. I've even done a factory reset. At one point, I was so far gone with all the different things I was trying that I had to revert back to a stock setup.
When I install the gapps zip file in Clockworkmod, everything looks fine. No errors or anything. It goes through the install process, and it completes, but when I reboot, I have no Google Apps installed.
I have a 4g Xoom (Verizon).
The different CWM versions I've had this issue with have been:
cm-10.1-20130309-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130311-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
cm-10.1-20130315-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip
The latest gapps version I've been trying to install is:
gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Thank you.
I have xoom wifi. the version of gapps I have is:
gapps-unified-jb-20130220-signed.zip
it should be somewhere in the portal as that's where I downloaded from. see it may work for you too.

Not sure if this is an option for you, but have you tried running gapps-jb-20130105-EOS-XOOM-ONLY.zip?

I did try this, just for the sake of trying something as I am having the same issues as the OP.
I flashed the latest nightly cm-10.1-20130330-NIGHTLY-stingray.zip on my Xoom and then tried the EOS version of GApps. It just bootlooped numerous times. I flashed the ROM, then flashed GApps. I cleared cache/data/dalvik with no luck, it just brought me back to recovery.
Any ideas? I know it is a nightly, so I am not too worried about it. I am just playing around.
You should try the new unified gapps for Cm, the link is listed in the OP of the cm 10.1 thread. Also, if you are using cwm recovery, try twrp. Your recovery could be causing issues

Thanks! I will give that a try when I get home. Went straight to the CyanogenMod site to get GApps so I missed that.
Well, I made a very simple mistake. I only read the directions partially, assuming everything would work like flashing my phone or Nexus 7. I wiped data, wiped dalvik, installed the ROM and then installed GApps. I booted my Xoom and of coarse, even with the unified version of GApps, it still did not work.
I repeated the process but did not install GApps. I let the device boot and then went back in to recovery. I flashed GApps and rebooted and it works perfectly. I did not try another version of GApps this time.
Lesson learned.

Download Google appstore zip file by itself.. After flashing gapps, flash the appstore by itself as well.. Worked for me
Latest Nightly issue Camera+Gallery
I'm using the 20130609 nightly in my Everest, but re-flashing the Unified Apps from CM 10.1 official thread doesn't work. On the 20130601 nightly it works like a charm!.
Any help would be appreciated.
P.s: As an advice, I tried formatting system partition in CWM, reinstall nightly and gapps. All works fine now!

[Q] [REQUEST] Nexus 5 flashing problem

Hi mates.
So, I was running CM12 nightlies on my phone but it began to get slow and buggy.
I decided to go back to stock 4.4.4, ans then flash CM11 on dit
I did full wipe (data, system, cache, dalvik), installed stock 4.4.4 (latest official build)
Then i downloaded CM installer but couldn't get it to work.
So I used Nexus foot toolkit on PC, but the flashing process went wrong somehow, just when it reboots the phone to recovery, nothing happened, no flashing process whatsoever.
From this moment, my problem had appeared
So I rebooted normally, downloaded CM11 and I was unable to flash it. Signature check failed.
I've tried OTA 5.0.1, not working either, same error.
So I am currently running latest 4.4.4 without any problem, but even after an other full wipe I'm not able to flash anything, custom or stock. My recovery is the latest TWRP from the Google play app.
Could you please help me ? I don't mind wiping my phone, and I'd prefer a "no PC" solution but I still can use a PC if needed.
Thanks

Can't Get Any Gapps Working with CM12.1

I need to send my Nexus 6 in for a warranty replacement so I need to run my GS3 for a few days. It's been a while since I've used my GS3 so I wanted to get it all up-to-date first. I went and downloaded the latest nightly of CM12.1 and the "stock" TK Gapps.
I did a clean flash (factory reset, format system, flash ROM, flash Gapps) and when it boots up I get constant "______ has stopped" messages from all the google stuff. After I press "OK" as fast as I can for a minute I can get to the home screen, where I can see that all of the google app icons just show the little android guy (indicating it's not installed) and when I select any of them it tells me that the app is not installed.
I tried clearing cache and dalvik and that didn't work. I tried re-flashing from scratch and that didn't work. I tried the pico TK Gapps and that didn't work. I tried the stock and pico Open Gapps and that didn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but no matter what I try the result is always the same.
One time, just as a sanity check, I flashed just the ROM and no Gapps and that worked fine. Not sure what that tells me but just something to note.
Please help.
I was also forced to do a clean flash of CM 12.1 + gapps recently. This gapps file worked for me: highonandroid.com/download-android-5-1-lollipop-gapps/ (I can't post a link since I'm new).
One issue: apparently it requires flashing with a recent version of TWRP recovery. Doing it with CWN or a old TWRP will return an error. Hope this helps.

[ROM][TWRP] Can't flash new ROM

Newbie here.
Background: I have my Samsung Note 10.1 GT-N8000 since 2012, but I haven't touched it for 2+ years because it was still on Android 4.1. (Last week Netflix announced that we could watch it offline with Android 4.4 up, so I eventually had the courage to do sth about my 10.1)
My problems:
I was using TWRP 2.4, flashed CM13 ROM and Gapps pico. It went well except all Google apps weren't installed properly:
- If I just flashed the CM13 ROM without Gapps, upon reboot it kept popping "Unfortunately Google Play etc stopped"
- If I flashed both, it was the same, plus all Google apps were labelled "com.Android" instead.
I searched for and tried all possible solutions, and in one old threat someone suggested TWRP version matters too. So I updated it to TWRP 2.8 (also tried 3.0). Now, I have a different set of problems. I can't flash in TWRP 2.8 the same ROM that I could flash with TWRP 2.4, and it keeps giving the "error executing updater binary in zip" I've tried it million times (literally fighting it for the past 18 hours...)
I've tried the followings: wiping system/ cache before flashing new ROM, starting the entire process, rooting it again etc.
Could anyone kindly chip in? Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
Try Philz Recovery .
Nonono...don't try Philz recovery. Use the recovery explicitly stated in the CM13 instructions (TWRP 2.8.7.0) or newer (I'm using 3.0.2.0). Do not use any recovery that the instructions say is not supported, which is everything else.

Given this and the apparent lack of following CM13 installation instructions (you didn't wipe everything), I'd suggest starting over with downloading/flashing the TWRP version on the CM13 downloads page and re-downloading CM13 and and Open GApps check MD5s. Maybe a standard Open GApps install would be a good idea; you can always uninstall what you don't want.
Not meaning to sound harsh but preferable to spending another 18 hours in Einstellung. (pun not intended)
