[Q] gapps problem

Hey,
I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346
Everything seems to be fine except for there is no market and I cannot link my google account to my phone under cyanogenmod 7. I tried through the settings/accounts area and also through the e-mail application but no luck. I tried reinstalling after wiping the cache, deleting the data but even that didn't work. I also tried to update using "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" and it says that it is successful but it still isn't fixed after that. I then tried to restore my old firmware then flash "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" and then reinstalled cyanogenmod 7 but I don't see any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Bob

You install gaps the same way you flash the ROM. Put it on your SD Card, reboot into recovery and install the zip. When you reboot, you should be good to go.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you need to flash gapps straight after you flash CM7, while still in recovery.

Thanks for your prompt replies, I think I should also add that I installed it the same way I installed the mod.

hmm, thats weird that it didnt work then. What phone and recovery do you have? After you flash the ROM, you can try to fix permissions before you flash gapps. If you have clockwork recovery, that is located under advanced. If that doesn't work, I would do a full wipe, reflash the ROM and then flash gapps again. Also, you may have a bad download of gapps..that happens quite a bit. Just trying to throw the different scenarios out there.

Ok I will put everything I did. When I received the phone it was on android 2.0 imported from Italy. I then upgraded to 2.1 at which point this is all the information that I wrote down:
FCCID: IHDP56KC2 = GSM (Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) & Dual-Band Euro 3G (900/2100))
A853
firmware: 2.1-update1
firmware configuration version: GAS_EMEA_USASHL00WNDIT_P031
baseband configuration version USASHLSMR2WNDITB1B806D.0R
kernel versioin 2.6.29-omap1 [email protected] #1
build number SHOLS_U2_02.38.0
bootloader 90.73
I then rooted the phone using universal androot. I then Installed RSD lite and used the SBF named "GOT_WINDITALY_2_2_1FULL.sbf" Then I installed open recovery and installed cyanogenmod/gapps. I tried redownloading the latest gapps from the cyanogen latest release wiki page (cannot link because my forum account is too new) but am stuck a bit. Could it be because I used a 2.2.1 sbf instead of the 2.0 that it came with?
So what would you recommend I do next? Should I download clockwork recovery now?

I managed to get it working! Here is how I did it. I re-downloaded cyanogen mod, I then re-downloaded gapps "gapps-gb-20110307-signed" and "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" tried both after clean wipe of dalvik cache data and cache partition and the "gapps-gb-20110307-signed" worked. I'm still not sure what the problem is but after trying again and again I can only assume the downloads must have been corrupt. Thanks for all of your help.

[Q] Gapps won't work {I have a picture :O}

My Wifi-Only US Xoom is rooted with the universal xoom root, and has the EOS-Wingray-60 Rom successfully installed, but everytime I try to download Gapps, this comes up:
How do I fix that?
EDIT: That is no longer the problem. Everytime I flash Gapps now, my xoom ALWAYS gets stuck on the dual core screen after reboot.
Double EDIT: I was too lazy to stock flash it, so I simply wiped everything again, downloaded EOS wingray 60, Then I wiped my cache and my dalvik (Not data), then reinstalled Gapps, and fixed permissions and it finally loads now. Thank ****ing god.

Can anyone help me with this please??

Download the most recent EOS gapps from there. The (bad) in your attempted install means the zip is corrupt.

Alright, so my problem continues. I was running stock unrooted ICS, then flashes recovery. Then I wiped data, cache and dalvik. Then I rooted with the Xoom universal root. Rebooted, works fine. Then I went to recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, and flashes eos Rom 60. Rebooted, works fine. Then I went to recovery, wiped data, cache, and dalvik, successfully installed gapps 10.5 for the first time, it wasn't (bad). Rebooted, andddd stuck. After I rebooted in permanately stuck on the dual core Motorola logo thing. What did I do wrong?

You need to flash the GApps file immediately after the EOS rom...no reboot first. This is a must.

When I flash them, is there anything I need to wipe or clear? Or do I leave everything alone?

God Dammit! This is pissing me off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It ****ing takes for ever to upgrade back to ICS when I have to flash the ****ing stock of 3.0!!!
I upgraded to ICS, after flashing 3.0, I flashed the R4c Recovery, I did a factory reset, and wiped Dalvik and Cache, then I installed the Universal root (Is there a different root I should use?), then I went back (Still in recovery mode) and did a factory reset, and wipe cache and dalvik. Then I install Wingray-60, then *immediately after* I installed Gapps v10.5!!!! I rebooted and my ****ING xoom is stuck on the dual core screen AGAIN!!!
WHAT THE ****.

Not quite sure what those first few steps were, but boot to recovery, go to mounts and storage and wipe system and cache, then go to the wipe menu and do a data wipe and dalvik wipe.
Then flash ICS and gapps.
Shouldn't have any problems after that unless your Xoom doesn't like ICS for some strange get reason.

Do I need to re-install GAPPS every time I dirty flash?

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.

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?

[Q] Katkiss 4.3 - AOSP keyboard has stopped after flashing

Help, I'm slowing going out of my mind. I've been trying to figure out the problem but no joy here so far.
I think I've successfully upgraded to KissKat 4.3 from EOS 118 . Everything loads, asks me to set up tablet etc but I keep getting the " AOSP keyboard has stopped" so I can't actually finish the set up or see if I've actually upgraded properly.
I use TWRP 2.5 version, all the Gapps and version 20 from the 1st page. I've reflashed and rebooted many times changed the keyboard settings but ended up the same message. I also get the google text to speech has stopped as well and I've disable that as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. :good:

I am pretty sure there is an issue with the GAPPS not being loaded properly. Boot to recovery, wipe cache & davilk, flash GAPPS then wipe caches again. It should boot fine.
If that does not work, try downloading the GAPPS from the first post again. Using any other GAPPS could cause issues.

Hi frederuco, I actually followed your guide but I'll try the gaps once more. If that doesn't work then I'll try ver 19.

LOL. I can tell you I've done that 4 different times with 4 different download all from the 1st page but it worked on this 4th and I'm not sure why.
Now to see tomorrow if this ROM lives up to all the troubles ( 3 hours worth ) and praise . Thanks for your guides by the way.

Glad it is sorted. I hope you find it worth your time.

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.
