Hi.!!
Did anyone encounter this blank/black home screen problem after flashing with 22/11/2013 or 24/11/2013 unofficial cyanogenmod 11 rom.!!?
Because I didn't have luck in using this nightly version of roms.!!
I flashed these 2 versions of roms and along with them flashed the latest pa gapps of 19/11/2013. Everything went fine, the flashing process, booting process and I even happen to enter my google account and then my home screen never came.!! I tried flashing a lot of times, wiping cache, format system but still the same.!!
The notification panel works fine and so do the apps/settings notification tray.!! After a long time of examination of where things went wrong, I found that google search did not get installed when I flashed the gapps which is a very essential app for launcher in kitkat.!! They did include this google search app in pa gapps but it didn't get installed.!!? How can this happen.!!
The only newest version am getting to use is 21/11/2013 version of this rom and google search gets installed on this rom no matter what.!!!
Some one can actually let me know why this app isn't getting installed.!!? Since am getting a complete blank home screen, I cannot access any apps. So no chance of downloading it through play store. Is there any other alternative to only flash a google search so that things start working.!!?
P.S: I did have the latest CWM version 6.0.4.3.!!
YES..
I flash another gaps..

Thanks mate.!! That indeed helped me.!!! But I wish I got the option of photosphere in camera as well.!!
Any idea why google search isn't getting installed with the complete gapps package.!!?
Is it only with nexus s or other mobiles too facing the same problem.!?
I installed carbon rom and loved the carbon fibers settings, but the rom kept crashing and i had to go back to pa android. i also love pa android but want more tun-ability. Is there an apk or way to install carbon fibers in pa android or something similar?
thank you!
The carbon rom kept crashing because you didn't wipe everything prior to it's installation. Did you wipe data, clear dalvic, format system and then flash the carbon rom and gapps??

Since you said the rom kept crashing, I thought you referred to the Android system fcs. Changing the keyboard might have solved it...
About the carbon settings apk... If the carbon settings in integrated to rom, then it won't work on any other roms even if you manage to find its apk and install it.

It's integrated within Settings.apk and in the framework itself. "Carbon Fibers" is just the menu in which you toggle/customize your options. Each ROM has it's own "customizations".
Carbon is mostly "stable"; nightly builds but most are daily-driver capable. You probably forgot to wipe or something. I have never experienced instability with the official ROM, only some in my own personal build when experimenting with things.
Just revert back to Carbon, and if your keyboard keeps crashing again, just download Google Keyboard from the play store.Simple as that. I had this issue myself, but upgrading to the next nightly fixed it.

I'm on the Validus 5.0.1 ROM and have had issues flashing gapps whenever needed s ones come out. I lose my account and can't use YouTube play store and so on. Also I've been wanting to update my play services and clicking the apk gives me "app not installed"... How do I fix this issue as well? Lastly my DPI is set at 400. Thanks for any help

Always flash Gapps after flashing a ROM that needs it, even if you are flashing an update, flash Gapps as well.
What if I like the ROM I have but want the new updated gapps? When I just flash gapps over my current ROM from 12-3 it screws things up.
I've had similar issues with several gapps packages.
The following gapps are working great though: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de...1117-minimal-edition-gps738-480dpi-signed.zip
They should work fine on your DPI.

Thanks. I noticed my play services says 438... Is that an issue? Have you been able to update your gapps to the newer versions after using these?

Strangely Google Play store still says it's up-2-date.
I know some updates have already been released, but I'll wait for the dev from these Gapps to present an update as I'm having no issues with these whatsoever.

OK thank you. I tried flashing black nights play store and YouTube and got errors because play services was not updated. Never ever had these issues before. The gapps I've flashed are bpears that don't require reflashing if flashing a ROM update. Wonder if that is the issue.
I am using sultans 6.0 ROM first all things go well and I have been using it for many weeks but today play services are stopping again and again impossible to use my phone also tried by clearing cache from TWRP but not helped
Just perform a clean flash again.

Reflash the recommended GApps from sultanxda thread.
I guess it's open gapps.
If above doesn't work for you then
Dirty flash your ROM and flash GApps.

Check your app ops permissions for Google Play Services... you must enable wake up permission, otherwise it will FC every 3-5 seconds... this is valid if you're on 8.3.xxx version. Previous 8.1.15.xxx verions does not have this "issue".

Glad to see you're working on the ovation version as well. I've upgraded from your 14.1 version to this one but I've been getting an error on the slimkat boot. I've used the twrp 3.1.1, factory reset, fresh install. The error was about data mounting. In the 14.1 I had both data and cache under the f2f system. When I installed back your 14.1 version, everything was back to normal, no errors. Do I need to format data and cache to ext4 for this slimkat version to work?

What build are you using?
I used this one Slim-ovation-4.4.4.build.9.14-UNOFFICIAL-20180108-1016.zip and this one lineage-14.1-20171216-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip as well as open_gapps-arm-4.4-pico-20180110.zip.
I saw you've put a 01-10 build today, I will try it and report back.
I tried the 01-10 build and it didn't work for me either. But this time I took a photo of the error. Hopefully this will help.
update:
went straight back to twrp and format data and cache to ext4 and it worked. I didn't do a factory reset or reinstall, just changed the formats and reboot.
Looks good so far, thank you for all the hard work #secretwolf98

Your welcome.
Google play seem to gives me problems, either crushes, or exists often. Also the nook button doesn't seem to work. Otherwise this new interface is beautiful and this rom looks very promising.

Could I have some feedback, so I can see if I could try to fix it within the next build?

Testing Slim-ovation-4.4.4.build.9.14-UNOFFICIAL-20180123-1611.zip, this is a logcat with amaces TWRP, all partitions wiped, and only the rom installed:
https://pastebin.com/LW6QFY27
This is the same as above, but with with verygreen cwm and I opened more apps:
https://pastebin.com/FQnTR1c2
This is the same as above after switching to art:
https://pastebin.com/4vJE7miZ
The biggest issue is with Chromium, it crashes with this strange error:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load chromium_android_linker from loader dalvik.system.PathClassLoader[DexPathList[[zip file "/system/app/Chromium.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/vendor/lib, /system/lib]]]: findLibrary returned null
The graphics seem unstable with hardware overlays, you can really see it when opening/closing Downloads and DSP Manager.

A new build is currently being tested. And released soon.
Anyone using this as their daily? Currently on 7.1.2 and wondering if anyone has an opinion on performance as I probably need another rom as alot of background apps are slow like hangouts/voice.

Recovery Version
I haven't done much with my HD+ since loading up CM a while back (I'm on 4.4.4 I think). Wanted to give this ROM a try since the CM one likes to reboot every day or two when it get's thinking too hard.
Question is, can I flash this with my current recovery? I'm using CWM 6.0.4.6 right now. Not sure if I needed to switch to TWRP and if so what version?
Other then wiping Data / Cache and installing the zip, anything else off hand I need to know?
Thanks all!

Yup got brave and gave it a try once I got a backup done. Installed just fine but didn't seem to like the gapps package I installed too much. Going to play around with it a bit now that I feel slightly more confident I won't brick the thing. Thanks!

Gapps
Which gapps do I use with this ROM? All that I've tried crash. I've used Open gapps and I dug up a zip from Slimroms.
Aside from the inability to use google play services, this rom is looking great.

I'm having the same problem.
open GAPPS - play store partially loads then FCs
PA - fails to install "incompatible gapps already installed" even though there isn't any.
slim gapps from the old site - can't sign in, play services FCs
Also, why isn't there a browser built in?
EDIT: It seems CWM doesn't completely clear my previous attempts when wiping. Is there a recovery that'll do an actual full wipe? Latest TWRP is broken for older android versions.
