I have been having issues with the play store when I flash any 4.3 roms. I get the no connection retry error. Also when i sign in to my Google account, hang outs notification comes up saying that it can not sign in. I odin back to stock and the apps work. If i install any rom that is not 4.3 the play store will work but once I try to do a 4.3 rom the errors occur. The mobile data is working with the browser. I have tried cleaning host files, checking time, creating new account, clearing cache, factory reset and those do not fix the issue. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
What gapps package are you flashing with the ROM? I would try a different package.

I have been using the one that is built into the rom. I did try to flash the latest gapps but it started to force close apps when i rebooted. I don't think I deleted all the gapps that came with the rom though so that may be the issue with the force close. I have not tried to flash an older gapps though. I'll give that a try tonight after work. Thank you for the idea!

Clean or Dirty flash?

Ok, so i downloaded the new HellFire Phoenix V2.1 p999 and also installed the customised latest google apps by the Hellfire (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1420972).
I can't get past to the welcome screen (the screen where you have to touch the android thing to start the setup). this only happens when i install the google apps. I also tried installing ROM without the the google apps and it works, but i don't have anything to sync contacts from (you need google apps) and when i try to download the play store online, it doesn't open.
Try without those specific gapps or re-download them

Try these GAPPS instead. http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

How are you installing them. Like are you flashing rom then immediately gapps. Or flashed booted the phone then tryed to flash gapps without wipeing cache and davlik first. I'd try to wipe those caches... flash a fresh download of gapps then fix permissions. And you should be all set

I usually download both the ROM zip and the gapps zip, reboot into recovery, clear cache and dalvik cache and then install the ROM and Gapps.
My question is should I reinstall Gapps after installing the ROM or will the Gapps that is already there from the previous installation suffice?
My rule of thumb. Always clean wipe. Never have issues of leftover junk. Resetting up a fresh ROM is better then discovering a huge bug due to dirty flashing

As the CM10 nightlies install include a format of /system (which is where the gapps package installs), I'd say it's required. It certainly doesn't hurt to reinstall gapps after installing any AOSP rom (they may or may not format /system) and I don't think any will ever contain the google apps.
edit: flumoxed. Tested this with a format /system, install CM10, boot, no gmail, reboot, install gapps, reboot, gmail there, reboot, re-install CM10, reboot... gmail there. It sticks. Doesn't compute with the format command I see in the CM10 updater-script (along with a backup script of some sort). Will have to do some more testing. Still think it's best to always reinstall gapps.

The problem with that is - I upgrade nightlies every couple of days and don't want to reinstall everything and make changes to my settings everytime I do it. Is there a one-click shortcut to restore everything if I clean wipe and install?
Go backup or titanium backup will get most things back for you painlessly.
On the contrary I've been dirty flashing cm10 nightlies for 3 weeks without reflashing gapps and I've experienced no issues so it's perfectly feasible but ymmv

You're one of the very few then. The majority of problems in the official thread are people who have dirty flashed and when they finally do a clean wipe - problem solved.
Does anybody know how to remove an entire Gapps package from our phone, in order to flash another?
I'm using Justin Bean inverted Gapps and I'm having a hell of a time with it, mainly the YouTube app which will force close every time you try to raise the volume of a video via volume rocker, and then will not re-open until the phone is rebooted.
I want to remove JB Gapps and flash an entirely different package. I'm on Cypher ROM Build 2.
You should be able to wipe cache and dalvik and then flash the new package and reboot.
Use root explorer.. go to /system and delete YouTube.apk
Then install the one of your choice

That's what I was trying to get around doing. It's a pain to have to set everything up the way I like it again, which is why I haven't flashed Build 3 yet.
I ended up going through the ROM with Titanium Backup, uninstalling all of the Justin Bean Gapps, and just flashing an entirely new package. Everything is working great, now.

It's always good to do a fresh wipe every once in awhile
This never used to happen until a month ago or so but any of the CM10 nightly install fine (I am using the right gapps). Any how I do a full wipe install and upon boot all the Google apps modules keyboard, media etc start force closing. Anything I am missing here this seemed to start happening middle Sept with any nightly I have tried installing. Thanks for any help with this!

Have you been re flashing gapps with each nightly? Also what version of gapps are you using, just to be sure.

I have used gapps-jb-20121011-signed stright from goomanager and also the Cyanogen link (wiki) for CM10 -- this started around the middle of September (I dont recall the exact date to be honest). I am not installing ontop of its-self I am doing a fresh install (cache, dalvik, factory reset, system wipe, etc) in TWRP.
When I do a new install (each time doing a full wipe) all of the gapps start crashing when the phone boots up the 1st time...
I just dont know what else to try here honestly and hope I can find an answer!

Actually Rohan something else is going on here -- even if I dont install the GAPP package at 1st I get things like NFC force closing on boot. The really strange thing is I installed AOKP release 4 and it does not have this problem -- it installs fine it boots fine it has given me no errors like the CM10 nightly's have (great work btw).
So I've downloaded all my apps and mods for my stock rooted Nexus 5(running android 4.4), how could I get and android 4.4.1 without unrooting?

If you're using the stock kernel and haven't changed anything at all in /system, you can just flash the update in recovery. I'm stock rooted with TWRP, and it flashed just fine for me.
Could you give me a link to the update please!?

It's on the first page of general.
Did not work for me. Running stock with twrp. It mentioned something about unexpected info in build/prop file. Is it because I'm running art?

You must have modified your build.prop. Revert it back to stock and it should work.
posted this in another thread but wasn't getting much action, this one seems busier
Just flashed the official 4.4.1 zip file using TWRP onto my phone and rebooted...
Now i'm getting constant errors with every google application.
non-stop popups saying "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
My APN's all deleted themselves as well and now I can't even add any back in, I fill all the information in and I hit save and it doesn't save anything. No service now..
couldn't do a factory reset, button wouldn't respond
anyone else have any problems like this. I've tried wiping my dalvik and cache but that failed. had to wipe data first, then cache worked, then dalvik finally wiped...
I'll set my phone back up and see if it works now, just going through first boot procedures
Mines worked perfectly, no problems and camera loads and captures faster

I actually had the same things you mentioned in my stock n5, I wasn't even rooted (just unlocked) and it suddenly did all the things you said. I did all the same you did haha but I had to reflash factory images and it worked again, but I have no idea of what happened.

I did, but still got the error. But then I pasted in my backup build.prop from ROM toolbox and it worked! Then while in TWRP I reflashed TWRP (TWRPception!). However, when I went to reboot it did not prompt me to root the device. So I'm running 4.4.1 stock kernel with TWRP, but no root. TWRP never prompts to root. Does anyone know of a .zip I can flash to root the N5 via TWRP?

Did you maybe delete data for Google Framework in order to get the OTA quicker?
Dan Morrill (an Android engineer) said that that is REALLY not recommended because it can have all sorts of problems with all google apps. Doing that erases your device fingerprint used for push notifications, device identification etc. The playstore was definitely affected by this as well.
