I flashed inverted gapps from a post in the latest liquid beta using cwm recovery. Cleared cache, dalvik, and fixed permissions. When I got back into the phone I lost the s stock email app. So I want to return to stock gapps (20121212) so in cmw recovery cleared cache and dalvik, then flashed gapps zip. After the zip file finished installing I fixed permissions. When the phone boots back into android the inverted gapps is still on, and no stock email app. So am I missing a step somewhere while flashing back to stock gapps?

Root Explorer or reflash gapps like the big boys instead of using an app.

Sorry edited op, to be more clear on how I flashed the gapps package.

I usually download both the ROM zip and the gapps zip, reboot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache and then install the ROM and Gapps.
My question is should I reinstall Gapps after installing the ROM or will the Gapps that is already there from the previous installation suffice?
My rule of thumb. Always clean wipe. Never have issues of leftover junk. Resetting up a fresh ROM is better then discovering a huge bug due to dirty flashing

As the CM10 nightlies install include a format of /system (which is where the gapps package installs), I'd say it's required. It certainly doesn't hurt to reinstall gapps after installing any AOSP rom (they may or may not format /system) and I don't think any will ever contain the google apps.
edit: flumoxed. Tested this with a format /system, install CM10, boot, no gmail, reboot, install gapps, reboot, gmail there, reboot, re-install CM10, reboot... gmail there. It sticks. Doesn't compute with the format command I see in the CM10 updater-script (along with a backup script of some sort). Will have to do some more testing. Still think it's best to always reinstall gapps.

The problem with that is - I upgrade nightlies every couple of days and don't want to reinstall everything and make changes to my settings everytime I do it. Is there a one-click shortcut to restore everything if I clean wipe and install?
Go backup or titanium backup will get most things back for you painlessly.
On the contrary I've been dirty flashing cm10 nightlies for 3 weeks without reflashing gapps and I've experienced no issues so it's perfectly feasible but ymmv

You're one of the very few then. The majority of problems in the official thread are people who have dirty flashed and when they finally do a clean wipe - problem solved.
Does anybody know how to remove an entire Gapps package from our phone, in order to flash another?
I'm using Justin Bean inverted Gapps and I'm having a hell of a time with it, mainly the YouTube app which will force close every time you try to raise the volume of a video via volume rocker, and then will not re-open until the phone is rebooted.
I want to remove JB Gapps and flash an entirely different package. I'm on Cypher ROM Build 2.
You should be able to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the new package and reboot.
Use root explorer.. go to /system and delete YouTube.apk
Then install the one of your choice

That's what I was trying to get around doing. It's a pain to have to set everything up the way I like it again, which is why I haven't flashed Build 3 yet.
I ended up going through the ROM with Titanium Backup, uninstalling all of the Justin Bean Gapps, and just flashing an entirely new package. Everything is working great, now.

It's always good to do a fresh wipe every once in awhile
I have been following the ROM for awhile and tried to flash 1.1 last night. (Now I see 2 is coming so I will wait). My question is I have only flashed beans and aokp. Beans had the aroma install like version 2 of this ROM will have which I simply install from clock work. Do you install 1.1 that way as well or do you flash from Odin? I tried to install from zip using clockwork but it just reboots to stock. Thanks for the help

Install 1.1 from recovery. NOT Odin. Be sure to wipe data beforehand in cwm or twrp.

Sorry I'm noobish...but used clockwork wiping all cache ect...then installed zip from external card. It says installing update then I reboot. It installs faster than normal. On reboot it just seems so stock. Maybe I'm just retarded and it installed fine. Anyway to tell in settings?

About a month ago,I installed inverted gapps using quickflash and everything has been working fine. However, today, I accidentally updated my instagram and the app has now reverted back to stock. Is there anyway that I can just flash the inverted version of this app without having to : wipe everything, flash the ROM, flash gapps, then reinstall the whole quickflash package?

My brother just got himself a skyrocket he's on the newest radio w/custom recovery installed but can't seem to flash anything but cm 10.1 with an old 4.2 GApps package.
Kinda frustrating because I haven't seen anyone else having this issue in any other thread. I did to his all I did to mine and I'm running Wantowan2's DU. Just says installation failed and we can't even flash other recovery from within recovery. Where should we go from here

Odin back to stock and start over. Something got messed up in your recovery
Make sure you've got the proper recovery for 4.3 as well.

Well we did Odin back to stock and Odin flashed twrp 2.6.3 and tried to flash the new cwm touch 6043 and it just failed. Not sure why. I repeated process with my phone and it worked but I feel like he did some stuff he's not telling me.
And the only things that do flash remain to be the cm 10.1.3 and GApps from 2012

The gapps isn't right for 4.3, cm 10.1. Flash the 8-13-2013 gapps
Edit, you can find it on the OP of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46685423
My understanding is that cm 10.1.3 is android version 4.2.2 and the gapps he used worked. No force closes or anything but one thing he mentioned is that his first flashing of the ROM did not include a full wipe. He did not format system. And even after a full wipe in twrp 2.6.1; data, cache, android secure, dalvik, and system still nothing. Still shows dead android and failed install
