So I dirty flash upgraded LiquidSmooth to the latest. I noticed everything went well, I wiped cache/dalvik and booted up. My google contacts were gone along with my whole account. I re-flashed and installed gapps afterwards. Did I do something wrong? Or is this the process usually?

Are your. Apps like play store still there? If they are then just re add google account or just reflashed gapps, better safe then sorry
I've never used that ROM, but the general answer to your question is no. Only flash gapps when starting from nothing.

It was weird. I booted up without a google account. No google apps or anything. So I just reflashed Gapps. I didn't have the option to add an account for Google.
That happened to me once or twice. No issues from flashing gapps though.

Yup. No google option was there. So I went into recovery reflashed the rom and then flashed gapps

I've dirty flashed 3 different ROMs multiple times (usually wipe data), and each time gapps were still there. The only issue I've run into was an older market bug so I re-flashed the latest gapps.
All wrong answers, always re flash your gapps when flashing an aosp rom regardless if it's a new install or a dirty update. When dirty flashing your gapps should not be there anymore, if they are they are ghost remnants of the old build. Your data for your gapps will remain on a dirty flash so you need not worry about setting things up again.

This. Always reflash gapps after dirty flashing a rom.
I personally clean flash 99% of the time, it prevents so many problems.
check updater-script
maybe the ROM had a line of script to delete factory data...
Some ROMs have that line in their "updater-script" file...I remember flashing an ICS rom that did that..:/
If yes...then you will have to flash gapps again..Check the file(if possible) before dirty flashing the next time..:good:
But as a thumb-rule...always flash gapps after flashing AOSP/AOKP etc. ROMs..
Hope this helps..Don't forget to hit thanks!
Is it OK to just flash the new GApps without reflashing the ROM or doing anything else?
Edit: wrong post

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?

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
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!
Hello,
I flashed one of the CM 10.1 that I found on CM website, and then I flashed GAPPS, but the version I downloaded has some bugs, so I want to choose a different CM version, but I don't know how to. I mean, what will happen with GAPPS? Do I need to follow same procedure as for installing CM for the first time i.e flashing CM, and then flashing GAPPS again?
Also, I have non-touch CWM recovery and I downloaded the touch version from CWM website, but I'm not sure how to do it, is it done with regular Odin via PC , or with something called "Mobile Odin"?
If you want to flash a newer nightly, you can either perform a clean flash or dirty flash. Clean flashing means you wile your data and flash cm along with Google apps again and start fresh. Dirty flashing means you just wipe your cache and dalvik cache and flash cm on top of the old cm which allows you to keep your data. Research both and decide what you prefer.
As for cwm, simply flash the new touch version in cwm and it'll overwrite the old cwm nontouch.

Thanks, I have last question regarding flashing new rom:
I flashed CM, but then I separately flashed GAPPS, so I dont know if GAPPS will be removed when installing new rom, or do I need to manually remove GAPPS before flashing new rom?
I hope you understand what I'm trying to ask :silly:
If you're dirty flashing, you don't need to reflash Google apps. However, if you're clean flashing then you are wiping everything so you'll need to reflash Google apps.
You don't need to remove it or anything before flashing the new rom. If you feel more comfortable flashing it, you can because it'll just overwrite your old Google apps.

Finally loaded cm 10.1.3 but now I think I loaded the wrong gaps..my asop keyboard keeps crashing and it only started after I installed it. I tried wiping and it's still doing it. Can I delete the gapps somehow?

Which gapps do you have installed? Have you tried clearing data for the keyboard? If you are against wiping and starting over again, then your best bet may be to try deleting the individual Google apps from /system with a file explorer or Titanium Backup then flash the right gapps. You may be able to dirty flash the proper gapps package, may work or it may not.
Failing that, you could wipe data and flash CM and the proper gapps package.
Everytime I try and use Google Maps either flashed with gapps/bean or installed later from play store all reboot my phone. Stock does not have any issue.
Tried:
ASOP-CAF
ASOP-EX
MOTOPURE
Lineage
TESLA
I just wonder why if the stock maps app works on 6.0 why not on 7.0?? The only thing I can think of is the GPS.
Any tips or suggestions?
Thanks!
Tried nano, pico and full for ARM and Android 7

Ok I have found that other maps reboot the phone too. Tried a GPS test app from play store and soon as I allowed it to access my location it rebooted. So it seems to be definately a GPS issue.

Return to stock by fastboot the lastest images available, flashing everything including the wipes (of course, skip gpt.bin and bootloader.bin if necessary), then take the lastest OTA's, verify operation of GPS... After that install TWRP, backup everything, and flash a ROM and Gapps, do not restore anything and test again.
I can't see how GPS would work with stock and not with ANY custom ROM...

Thanks for helping me, do you mean bootloader.img?
Ok done reflash stock, OTA's and checked gps is fine now backing up... going to use the PureNexus rom or ASOP-CAF
ARRRRRGGGGG Same damn issue... Maps crashes the phone.... so frustrating I am going to give up soon and stick with stock.
Going to try an get a logfile maybe someone can take a look at it
Thanks
ok after phone crashed the first time I rebooted a couple times and its working!!!!!!!!
Thanks to @acejavelin and @Vikas Tewatia for trying to help me with this issue.
I think one of the problems was the way I was wiping after stock to install a custom ROM, instead of just standard TWRP wipe I was using individual selections?
Anyways I am going to further test and then report back. I will close this thread once I am sure everything is working.
Thanks

The recommended way to wipe before installing a ROM is to manually wipe system, data, caches, and internal storage (kind of optional, make sure to move TWRP backups and other info to SD card first), then flash ROM and Gapps. Some people say flash ROM, boot, then shutdown and flash Gapps, but I have never had to do that.
I would be curious to see a logcat of the crash... this is not normal. Are you installing ANYTHING else besides the ROM and Gapps at this point?

I started a bug report (interactive) when I tried to use the maps again but thats when it started working properly. lol
If you know of a way to get logs from the first crash off my phone I would be more than happy to send it to you.
I did a twrp standard wipe this time rather than each partition under advanced wipe, I didn't install anything other than a ROM and either gapps or bean depending on the ROM creators suggestion and that's it!

You can use ADB to get real-time logging of the crash on your PC... Use Google to find the command.

Well I started getting random reboots in Pure Nexus ROM and so tried LOS and right away I had the reboot from Maps. I give up, staying with stock.
Thanks
Seems like one of my problems could be ASOP-CAF ROM as the version I was flashing uses a custom Kernel that has known issues with 7.1.2 and causes bootloops and crashes. The UltraDev kernel changes some things in the modem and could be why any roms I tried after flashing ASOP-CAF would not change the modem and were 7.1.2 based.
Anyways...
Well I think I have tried almost every 7.x ROM I can find and every single one has a problem with any gps app on my phone.

Check out this bug report. It might be your APNs... https://jira.lineageos.org/browse/BUGBASH-248
By messing with my APN settings as per above bug report I can use maps and have no more random reboots. Woop woop
