First try CyanogenMod. I need some help here - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Noob on Forum.
I decided to Install CyanogenMod on my Xoom MZ601 model.
Bootloader unlocked, cwm installed, Cyanogenmod also installed without problem.
I use the last NIGHTLY-BUILD ---> cm-10.1-20130410-NIGHTLY-everest.
Now the problem. I tried to install gapps.
I downloaded the latest gapps for jelly bean 4.2.2 ----> gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip from goo.im/gapps/ (cannot write the complete url on the second post)
Install zip from sdcard etc using cwm. And everything seems to be perfect.
Except one. None google app is not installed. Or at least not shown nowhere on my apps.
Any idea what's wrong? How to fix that? I like jelly bean but I need gtalk, youtube, play store, google maps etc.

Same here

I have the same problem as well. It's due to the amount of space partitioned for system apps. I can't figure out how to change that yet, but a temporary work around...flash the app store by itself

[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.

Gapps not appearing

I've searched up the forums and I did not get the solutions I sought.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini ST-5570, running on CM10 27 August nightly build. When I attempted to flash gapps, Play Store didn't appear at all, no matter which one I flashed (2 August-signed or the one by KonstaT). In the apps list (manage apps), Play Store wasn't even there. Is there a way to fix this problem such that when I flash gapps it would appear?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Try flashing another one. Make sure the one you flash is for your android version.
CM doesn't contain gapps, so, download the apk of play store, and copy to your sdcard, them, open with any explorer

This won't work because it needs to be installed as a system app.

Actually, I have just found out the root of this problem - my phone has "not enough space available", so I had to do all the "adb commands" to delete all my ringtones and unnecessary stuff -.- But the problem is, my internal phone space gets rather low recently.
I would love to try out the inverted gapps sometime. What is it actually?

Gapps is a package containing certain Google Apps (that what it means). Usually these apps are not found in the market (anymore). It also contains some Google framework files. That version may be smaller, containing only the essential stuff.
make 2 partitions in your sd card, them, install link2sd, after that, transfer some programs to sdcard, after that, install gapps in recovery mode:

[Q] LT28h clone problem

Hello, I bought this phone (LT28h 4.5" Android 4.1.1 Dual Core MTK6577 1.0GHZ 3G Smartphone with Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth, Capacitive Touch - google for specs) and except for one problem it's worked fine. It has a 4.1.1 or 4.0.4 android installed. It had a chinese Google play store 2.0.0 installed but I can't read chinese. So I tried to access google play store anddownload apps but I get an error. I also rooted the device using bin4ary_v17. After that I downloaded latest english Google play store. When I install it and try to download an app I get "error RPC:S-5:AEC-0" and nothing happens. After using it for a while I get an error "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all fixes on internet and nothing works. Can you help me do something, so that I can download apps from google store (english)?
The second question is if there is an option to install a custom ROM (for instance Cyanogenmod) on this device?
Thanks a lot for replying!
Finally. I found a fix for this problem.
I downloaded root explorer, then copied the file
"Vending.apk" (Goolgle market) - not really matter
what version to /system/app (You need to press
the "mount RW" before).
Then changed the permissions on that file (Read to
All and Write to Owner alone).
Once this was done you MUST reboot and after the
reboot it will be working great.
Now, even after erasing the phone to default, the
google play will be there!
Hope it helps someone...

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

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

Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing with Gapps

Hi Guys
I have just installed 4.4.4 home made Wingray omni version 20141 130-1704-+0100
system boots up okay but I get, a constant Google Account Manager, and lots of Google error messages etc etc....
Is there any higher stable 5.x.x versions I can install that Gapps works without nagging messages every 10 secs or so ?
Thanks in advance
I also have the same problem with my Motorola Xoom MZ604, that did not happen before. I have installed all possible rooms, but the same message appears to me continuously and I have no way to solve it. Is there anyone who has the solution ?.
Thank you.
same problem here :S tested all the roms
stock 4.2.2 bigpart 4.4.4
everyone starts giving google processes erros :S
i thought it was just my problem could it be some google update ?
since doesnt happen if i dont choose to update the apps
It's the Google Play Services. Download the 10.0.84 version of the APK, install it and it should work fine.
Only problem is that I cannot stop it from updating to latest version. Some say that disableing auto updates in Play Store stops it from updating, for me it doesn't work.
hi guys, i tried to download new gapps from open gapps ARM>Android 4.4>any version and flash again through TWRP ROM and gapps but before that wipe system, cache, dalvik and data.
it also does nor work
Hey guys,
I'm in the same boat. I thought there must have been an issue with an update, I was on CyanogenMod KitKat so, after wiping caches/updates/data I decided to go for a Marshmallow ROM (LineageOS). Same issue, only now it causes the setup wizard to take forever as Google Play Services keeps crashing while checking connectivity. I then jumped to a Lollipop ROM and had the same issue.
So, 3 ROMS, 3 broken Google Play Services. Do you think there will be an update to Gapps which will correct this? Or will I have to find an older version of Gapps to get functionality back? I did try removing the updated before I wiped and started again to no avail but perhaps I missed an app?

I read a few threads where some created files to stop GPS being updated and updating the correct Google play services APK but it still kept crashing.
If anyone finds a way please post up - the xoom was handed to our young bloke and he is missing it heaps.
If not - then time to bin a perfectly good tab and get a new one - as per googles plans

as far as I understand the problem... yes. But I am no dev so I couldn't say for 100% sure.
If you are going where I think you are - going back to the last of the stock rom versions, it might be a good idea.
I am going to try one or two more before doing that myself

this week my son lost his galaxy tab . so i ordered a new charger for my xoom this week and its stock we have not used it in over a year , and we have the same issue almost all apps crash .
Same issue with Xoom Stingray (4G) running stock Jelly Bean. Hadn't used it for over a year after Chrome stopped working in 2015 after some Google security update. Decided to get it out of storage to try to flash KitKat on it to see if that helped and after I updated the stock Jelly Bean, none of the Google apps worked any more - this includes Gmail, Hangouts, Drive, Maps, etc. Note that during the mass update, I kept getting a popup to update Google Play services. Once I updated Play services, that's when the Xoom started acting up. At this point I can get Pandora to run but the system is slower than hell and keeps crashing any of these Google apps when I go to start them. What a bummer, I have a few HD docks which sounded so good for playing my music. Plus I used it as my portable "beater" as I wasn't worried about it getting a little dirty. Drats on Google for killing my precious Xoom. I still marvel at it's capabilities 7 years after it was designed.
Motorola Xoom 10.1" Wifi MZ604 Crashing
Hi I had the very same problems with crashing, after putting on a later Jelly Bean, so I went back to a total stock ROM, as it had
when it left Motorola, then let it update its self back up to 4.1.2 is the latest you get from Google with all Apps working fine
this is what I did, you this link for a guide, http://*ndroidforums.com/threads/return-your-xoom-to-stock.653230/

Solved
hi,
i have 2 motorola xoom, wingray and everest. 2 xoom didn't work at he same time.
i solved this problem for the moment.
The problem is in services of google, launcher, Maps 9.45 and play store.
You need a ROM with ROOT.
GAPPS "before 01/01/2017"
https://github.com/opengapps/arm/releases/download/20161230/open_gapps-arm-4.4-nano-20161230.zip
Titanium Backup and Maps APK.
I flashed EOS ROM and the OPENGAPPS NANO in the EVEREST.
Don't turn on wifi. After install, install titanium backup and go to > Menu > Market > Delete links market.
Menu > Market > Market Doctor.
Select all except:
Services of google play
Play Store
Google services framework
When finish, go to copy/Restore > select launcher3, push and separate from the market.
Install Maps 9.46.
Well done! Xoom runs with all services and ok!:laugh::laugh:
Dear sinver44:
What version of Titanium Backup are you using. My version 6.0.1-389 doesn't seem to have the same settings as you described. Thanks
Hi yoshkapundrick,
My version of titanium is 7.6!
It does not work for me
I cannot delete the three google applications with titanium, because I deselect them and when I go back to the menu they appear as selected again. What can I do?
Thank you.
able to get working
Even without root, if you unupdate hangouts & maps and then undo autoupdate in the google play store. Then everything seems to work fine.
