I have tried from several places with the same gapps version. Can I try to install a older version of gapps and than just let them automatically update once I have booted?

I already started flashing the the version of gapps that I posted and it worked! Paranoid Android gave me an update to the latest gapps and now it is updating. Thank you for your help. Also, what should I do if I want to switch to OmniROM later on. Can I just flash the OmniROM zip and the gapps zip or do I have to do something extra?

Comming from paranoid, I suggest first to back up apps data and wipe caches before the flashing the Rom .
You should not have any issues there after but if any, the wipe data and flash Rom and pa gapps

Yep, that's pretty much what's recommended for changing Roms. I personally don't clean anything when flashing similar Roms but PA is a bit complex imo and you already had issues with it. so, wipe.

Ok for some reason, gapps updated and then it said that it has to install so it rebooted me into recovery and it started to install but it said that there was an error in the rom manager script or something like that. So I just got fed up and restored my backup that I had. So now I am back on stock. I want to install OmniROM though tomorrow.

So lets say that I just want to install OmniROM. Will OmniROM work with CWM?
Also will I be able to automatically update gapps once OmniROM boots because for some reason I cannot flash the latest version of gapps so I have to use an older version?
You can also get gapps from goo manager and the online version.

It's not that PA doesn't work with CWM, just the ota app.
OmniROM requires twrp or CWM-based recovery. Not CWM itself if I recall.
You also have zero reason to install those gapps updates on either rom..
Gapps are updated automatically through the play store.

ok. Sorry if I am asking too many unnecessary questions. So since I have ClockWorkMod Recovery, I can easily install OmniROM by just flashing it and than installing gapps after that right?

If you are using cyanogen, under about tablet there is Cm updater, use that. If you are not using Cm, I don't think you need to re flash gapps if you already have it. Unless you're updating fro the 4.1 to 4.2
Thanks

Hey,
I'm quite new here, maybe there's an easy solution to that, but I don't know what to do.
I've flashed the CyanogenMod 10 on my HTC Sensation and everything works fine, but as soon as I flash Gapps from the CWM the device enters a boot loop bringing me back to the CWM after rebooting.
J've just tried the newest CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009) and the problem is still the same.
Thank you!

Hi,
Then,there is no reason why it should not work.
I would download ROM and Gapps again,place on the sd card,check md5 checksum.
Format all partitions (except sd card),then,install both again.

Just a question before I start deleting everything - is it possible that this has something to do with the CID number? I have no idea what it is, but I remember that I had to change it once (now it's set to 11111111)

So, here is a fix, follow my steps:
1. DO NOT USE CWM Recovery OR PhilzTouch Recovery, because you will have bootloop with them OR flashing GApps will fail, so u need to use TWRP
2. Copy CM13 ROM to your sdcard1 (extSDCard) and GApps (nano package from opengapps.com, ARM, 6.0)
3. I think it doesn't matter if you have already CM13 ROM or firmware (correct me if it matters), so just do factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache
4. After that, flash CM13 and GApps at same time (you have option to choose more ZIPs, 1st ROM, 2nd GApps)
5. After that, you will have button "clear cache", click on it
6. Then Reboot your phone
That's it, I've done this on my i9300, I had already installed CM13 and GApps with CWM Recovery (with bootloop) after that I've done these steps..
Sorry for bad English..
Hope this helps...

I have done that, and it works, but I think the gapps install somehow corrupted my data, because after my phone didn't boot I backed up data just in case, and doing this it boots, but when I restore data it doesn't. do you have any ideas?

Thank you so much, this worked for me. I was using CWM.
Dangit, guys, I hate to be an idiot, but I've looked and looked and cannot find what I'm looking for. I tried flashing pa and cm and aokp and every time I flash the aosp keyboard force closes and almost every other app just won't open. Again, I apologize if this is common knowledge it if I have missed it, but I for the life of me can not find a solution. I came from a GNex, and everything was just so simple about flashing on that. Thank you in advance to anyone who can and will help.
Did you check the md5 on the roms before flashing? And are you fixing permissions after you flash?

Hi All,
I am using Samsung S2 GT-I9100 device with CM12.1. Earlier I was using KitKat and recently updated to Lollypop. While I was on KitKat got an update for CM12.1 Nightly and updated my phone to Lollypop. After that all my Gapps have stopped working and even I have tried to flash them through recently available Gapps packages, none of the Gapps are working.
Please suggest the fix.
Thanks!!

get the update from cm site, and a lollipop gapps. wipe cache, dalvic cache, and system only in advanced menu, then flash rom and gapps.
no data will be lost. make a backup first, in case there is a problem.
Thanks for your input. Just querying, if i will flash only the gapps will it work as my phone is already have lollipop os. Just trying to avoid to flash lollipop again.
Please let me know your thoughts.

really nothing will change by doing it the way i said, unless you made a bunch of system mods.
you can try it your way, it may work.
my way just gives you a clean system, so there is no chance of conflict with the old gapps that dont work properly.

Hello!
I could not find any other threads related to this issue, so my apologies if this is a "duplicate" thread
So I found my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Model GT-P5113 in Samsung ROM, identified as Galaxy Tab 2 in CyanogenMod) in a cabinet doing nothing, so I thought I would flash CyanogenMod on it and get some use out of it. And so I did; I flashed the nightly build of CM 13 in the "espresso wifi" image. Now, that worked just fine, but when I tried to flash open gapps (open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161217.zip to be exact), I got some sort of boot loop; the device starts and gets into the App Preparer thing (pardon my ignorance) and begins preparing the google apps, and once it does all 16 apps, it starts preparing some other cyanogen mod apps, or at least I believe they are cyanogen mod apps, and then the app preparer just closes, and the boot animation restarts. If I wait long enough, it will once again get to the app preparer and begin flashing 2 apps, I could not see the first one, and the 2nd was the Google app. It would then begin flashing the cyanogen mod apps and then it would close, and the cycle would restart. I flashed Gapps right after flashing cyanogenmod; I did NOT boot into the rom upon installing open gapps. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I will provide more information if it is needed. All help is appreciated.
You should only flash gapps RIGHT AFTER you flash CM13. If you flashed it after Cm13 boots up, you will face some issues. (Like bootloops, force closes, etc)

Hi, Lightracer, thanks for the reply! I did not boot up the tablet after installing CyanogenMod; however the same result occurs whether I flash it with or without a boot up in between (I needed to reflash CM multiple times)

What happens if you let it complete rebuilding the ART cache (app preparer)? Does it do that everytime? Also, did you do a clean flash? (Wiping System, data, cache, art cache, and then flashing the rom? I never had issues like that with installing gapps :silly:

thats the cause of your problem. wrong twrp version. go to andi34.github.io and download the latest common twrp (3.0.2-8). choose the zip. you can install it with your current twrp. then reboot back into recovery and reinstall rom and gapps.

That worked, thanks! I was initially following CyanogenMod's guide for the specific Galaxy Tab 2 Models (P5100,P5110/P5113), which included older CM images and the older TWRP, but flashed the espresso wifi image upon realizing that the guide was out of date. Also, the newest version of TWRP I could find for the Galaxy Tab 2 was version 3.0.0.0, but it still worked fine.

You could download the common twrp which works for every samsung galaxy tab 2 model. The newest version is 3.0.2-8 which is found on andi34.github.io under recoveries. This could be useful if you want to flash newer roms.
