So I have the issue where after installing a new rom, i am missing the google service framework or gsf id key. with this missing i am unable to connect to the play store. so i would like to know if anyone knows where that key is stored so that i might manually add it in from my previous working rom install. not sure why it does not get generated after going through the install. only time it works is if i odin back to a stock rom, go through and reroot and unlock it and then flash a new rom. shouldn't have to odin stock to get this to work. i have tried literally everything. so if anyone knows where that key is stored after it is generated that would be helpful. thanks.

that posting only shows how to get the gsf id key out if your phone generated one. mine did not and i need to know where it is stored so i can add it in. if that is possible.

The key is randomly generate and you can't edit this key. you need to either factory reset or reflash rom for a new key.

unfortunately that gets me no where. tried reflashing and factory resets can't tell you how many times. the only time it starts working again is when i odin back to stock, reroot and unlock and then flash the custom rom.

Ah, now I see said the blind man, so you lose the ID every time you flash the ID. How about try the old Gapp, if I remembered correctly it will ask if you would like to replace the old ID with the new one and you have the option to pick the new one or keep the old one.

yes. i odin to stock, reroot, unlock, custom recovery. make sure play store works. then i reboot recovery and flash new rom. now if i want to change roms again, i should be able to just wipe data, cach and dalvik and flash the new rom and everything should work. but after going through setup and putting in my account stuff. which goes exactly as it should, i cannot use the play store because my phone has no gsf id key. so the only way i have to found to fix is go back to staock and start over.

Understood, like I said, after flash your custom rom, try flash the old PA Gapp. I believe the issue is in the Gapp package. Give it a shot you have nothing to lose!

been there, done that.
I realize this is an old thread but I found it in a search and it doesn't mention what I found out which is my unrooted phone easily changed the GSF ID without flashing anything.
I put the steps here so that we could then move to the next step in learning how to change the GSFID at will.

I installed the CM7 port and the GApps, but my Google apps don't show up. I've tried reflashing the ROM and the GApps package over and over and clearing all the caches to no avail. Help?
you have to flash GAPPS separately. refer original post of CM7 thread and you will find the link
That's what I did. I flashed the ROM then I flashed the GApps, but they're still not showing up.
Ok that's weird. Can you pinpoint the exact steps you performed from download to copying to erasing to booting up? Each and every step please.
Sure thing.
I downloaded the ROM and the GApps package from the ROM's thread and stored the files on my desktop. While the downloads were going, I booted my phone into recovery and mounted the USB storage. I then plugged the phone into my computer and copied the files over before ejecting the USB device and unplugging the phone. I then wiped the user data, the cache, and the Dalvik cache and flashed the ROM, then, straight after, the GApps. I wiped the user data again just to be safe then rebooted back into the OS.
After it didn't work the first time, I downloaded the GApps again and copied them to my phone again, this time within the OS instead of the recovery. Rebooted, wiped user data, cache, and Dalvik cache, flashed the GApps, and nothing.
Not being sure if it was the ROM or the GApps package, I flashed the MIUI beta then flashed the GApps (using the same sequence of steps mentioned above) and it still didn't work, so it doesn't seem to be specific to CM7.
Ok try these steps:
1. Download the ROM
2. Download GApps from here: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
3. Wipe the big 3's (user data, cache and dalvik-cache).
4. Flash the ROM.
5. Flash Gapps.
6. Boot without erasing anything.
I followed your instructions exactly but I still have the same problem.
Interestingly, if I go into the list of installed applications in the settings, Market (but no other Google apps) shows up but it's greyed out and I don't have any options to run it or anything.

Crap. Something's really not right. Can you give it a try with the SuperOSR ROM? Need to see if it's specific to the CM build.
EDIT: Can you try searching for the Market .apk file around the forum and install it manually? It should be somewhere in Themes&Apps section. Give that a try before trying with the SuperOSR ROM. Wipe, re-flash ROM, flash Market.apk, reboot.
Reason: the gapps provided by CM team are old (v2 market) and it might be that Google does not support v2 anymore since they've switched to Play Store. (not sure).
I did try with the MIUI ROM and the same thing happened, I don't think it's specific to your ROM build. Perhaps my phone just doesn't like Cyanogen's GApps package? No idea why that would be though.
Anyway, I did as you suggested and installed an APK and it worked! I found this one on Redmond Pie and put in the SD and installed it with the file browser on the phone. Seems to work fine so far

Awesome!
While you're here, a bug I've noticed that's only popped up on your ROM is that, when I turn the phone off, sometimes the orange light stays on and the phone's completely frozen up until I pull the battery. It's only happened twice but I thought it might be something to look into.
Other than that, it's very good! I'm enjoying it, keep up the good work

It's a CWM based problem. Update your CWM recovery to the latest one from the CWM thread in the Dev section and you are good to go.
Way too many CWM's in two sentences..
I'll do that now, cheers
Glad to know you are up and running, but it's still quite strange. Every time I flashed CM7.2 (it it was quite a lot of times GApps were there, Market included. Just running the Market app would actualize it to Play Store automagically.
Of course, as Alex says, it may not be supported by Google anymore, but still you should have gmail, etc from the zip file even without a working Play Store...
The issue was probably related to CWM, if you have an old enough version it could be messing up with the zip internals, but sometimes it's just anything else... (I installed the first CM9 alpha rom w/o problem, the second one wouldn't install, one week later, doing exactly the same with the same zip file, it installed flawlessly)
It may also be related to the specific terminal, I have noticed that depending on the device type (country of release, free or network operator locked, and so on) terminals behave a little bit different in some aspects (e.g. my GPS stopped working after unlocking the bootloader and was only fixed when I reflashed the radio firmware after getting S-OFF; and now, with the CM9 alpha, my keyboard won't get backlight while it's dark outside but adxl's is working fine, which is bad for debugging purposes, of course )
If you could make a backup and install SuperOSR and see if everything works fine the first time (even if you go back to CM afterwards, as I did) it may help to understand the issue better... Or maybe just posting your phone's specific data (model, build, country, etc) may give us a hint.
We know that free UK terminals are somewhat different to Spain free terminals, and those are a bit different from Orange or Yoigo locked terminals... It may be related to hardware batches out fro the factory, who knows?
Enjoy your ChaChaCha!
I think the problem was my CWM in the end. After I upgraded it (that alone included some trial and error, eventually the fastboot method worked) the GApps zips worked fine.
So if anyone else has this problem, check your CWM version and upgrade it if you need to
Can i Upgrade CWM without any change of my current OS ?
i actually couldnt go to Market after i flashed GServices. I downloaded newest Google Play in HTC Chacha apps, installed it and it work until now (of course wit GService flashed before).
Btw, how can i check my current CWM. Thanks!

Hello there!
I've came by to add my issue, similar to yours.
I was on CM7 too and wanted to try the SuperOSR ROM. I used the common steps for flash it (all cache Wiping and factory reseting, ROM installing, Gapps installing), rebooting my phone, connect it with a Google account, launched Gmail and then when I've arrived at a certain level of my mails, the app crash...
For the Google Play app, I've got a server connexion error...
It's like if all the Google's framework was here but totally not stable...
I've tried with an another ROM, the MUI ROM and everything works...
Like I said, I came from the CM7 ROM wich was working...

Hi, I registered in this forum just to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I bookmarked this page for future reference. A million thanks to XDA Developers and it's helpful members & thanks for welcoming me even I'm a noob.. :laugh::laugh:

I take it you are running a custom recovery? Boot into it and clear your cache and dalvik cache and then fix permissions. Usually force closes are permission issues. If it doesn't fix it maybe a factory reset? If that don't do anything either then just flash the JB rooted image with odin from here

Download that stock rooted JB image I linked to and flash it with odin. If you don't know how to use odin follow step 5 in this guide. Fixing permissions should only take a couple mins tops on a stock rom so something is probably corrupted and causing issues.

Somehow I've managed to completely delete the google store app off my sony niro, with ICS. This means that i cant upgrade or install any apps from that site! Vodafone, my provider, have suggested that I back everything up and then do a factory reset which will nuke everything on the phone and leaving me to re-install everything afterwards. Ouch!
Can anyone suggest how i can get it back without doing the factory reset please? I cant install their 'PC Companion' software to do it with as I'm using Debian 7.
Thanks
Sharon.
Are you rooted with a custom recovery? Do you have a copy in Titanium Backup?
If not, rooting and either flashing it or pushing it somehow might work. I'm thinking like how you'd flash GAPPs normally with a new ROM.
I'm not sure about specifics for your phone, though.

Right, new google store app downloaded and installed, rebooted, cleared cache and all stored data and run it. It shows that i have 12+ updates to get, so i start downloading them and it crashes! Just says that 'google store has stopped'! Try again and the same thing happens, so I'll let it fully charge and take it off the charge cord and try again.
But its looking hopeful, thanks.
Sharon.
Full charge now done so I've had a chance to play with it. With all cache and data deleted, it still crashes before you get the little checkbox asking you to agree to googles term and conditions. It doesn't show in 'titanium backup' under 'google store' or 'play store', and neither does it show in 'ROM Toolbox Pro' of downloaded apps, installed apps, or backupped apps. Its as if it doesn't exist!
I'm now at a loss as to what to do next, any ideas please?
Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
If you are on a custom ROM, you could try flashing the applicable Gapps package, as stated above....if not then I'm thinking the factory reset would be next step, as much as a pain that it is.

I just recently flashed 4.4 custom CM 11 ROM with a clean install, followed the instructions by updating the firmware, then flashing the ROM and GAPPS, then setting up the phone, then returning to recovery to flash the Kanged apps. There is no Phone app, though when I say "Ok, Google" and tell it to call a contact, it works, and asks what app to use by default (Phone, Skype). When the call began, no app opened, it was my home screen, though the call went through.
Is this a problem with the Kanged apps or what's up?
Edit: I just wiped cache and dalvik cache, re-flashed the PA Gapps [not the Kanged] and still no phone app. Can someone link me to the GApps they used that worked well? Maybe its just a faulty DL.

Yeah, it had been stuck and I actually failed to wipe system the first time. Did it this time around, and its booted up, with a phone app! The question I have for you now: Is flashing the "Kanged" apps worth it? What does it add? What does it break? I've seen some posts claiming it breaks things, I've seen others saying it works fine. What's your experience with it? Other than that, thanks a ton! Can't wait to get this buddy settled in!

The Kanged gapp is fine, but the newer version, for some reasons it's not working well with some of the app. The one I gave you is pretty much ok with most of the rom. At the end they should be all the same function and the question is which one will work with most of the rom. There is no advantage from one to the others.

Awesome haha. Is there anything I should know about KitKat that's different? So far, it seems more like a QoL update than a feature one ;p

Yeah haha, that tends to be how CM is. Its been like that since my OG Droid days haha.
Quick question; do you know how to change what the icons on the lock screen redirect too? For example, making the music icon open Google Play Music, not Apollo, or the messages icon opening Hangouts, not Messages.

OK, I'm not on the rom that you're using, but if I remember correctly, it should be in settings->security-> slider targets and shortcuts -> enable the Eight slider targets then tab on slider targets, you will see the lock on your screen, hold down on the lock and slide to any position on the circle, an app menu should popup, here you can select what app you want to launch for the position. Repeat the same for other positions. You have up to 7 apps to launch from the lock screen, the last one is to unlock.

Ah, I see. Sadly, there is no "slider targets and shortcuts" under security, but I'll keep looking myself haha. Thanks for all the help mate, appreciate it!
Edit: They put a seperate "lock screen" section hidden under interface. Nonetheless, it has been found! Thanks for the help!
I for the life of me can not figure out why my push notifications do not work when running custom roms. I have tried everything in the book. Clean installs/different kernels/different modems/different modems/new sim card/new google account. I have also tried a custom kernel on the stock rom and that didn't seem to work so I'm left to believe something with a custom kernel is breaking the notifications. Anybody have any ideas why this is happening?

have you tried just flashing the factory img and starting over? if all your notification settings are on, and have what you need syncing, id try flashing the factory img and starting over.

Nope, not even installed!
