[Q] Cyanogenmod Updates - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have a question about updating cyanogenmod if you install from the installer app. If you update your cyanogenmod version will you lose the gapps that the installer preinstalls?
I have not installed Cyanogenmod on any device yet but I am considering it
Devices
Nexus 5 ,Asus memopad fhd 10 LTE (me302kl)

nope. Installer will keep the gapps as they are. It'll only be changed if you reflash gapps

Thanks

Installer doesn't keep gapps as all it does is flash the new ROM zip for you (which formats /system). When you flash gapps, it adds a persist script, which is what keeps them.

CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.4 v6.0 + CM Night builds with GAPPS issue!

Hi guys, I just installed the CyanogenMod 9 v4.0.4 v6.0 + CM Night builds, but it has no google apps. So I installed via recovery the GAPPS from the same page I got the ROM.
My problem is, after I installed the google apps, the wallet app just keeps stop working all the time, even without using it, and I don't even need that app!
All I wanted was the gmail app and the play store app!
Anyone knows how to uninstall only the google wallet app, or another solution for this gapp issue?
Thanks in advance!
You can uninstall the app by mounting the system, and deleting it from the system/app folder. I use the root option in ES File explorer.
Can I do that with Astro? I didn't find the option you mentioned!

CM can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1399035
I use gapps from http://kan.gd/1igc without problems.
Thanks guys, I'll try those gapps!
Problem solved
So, everything is working just fine now!
I did a fresh install of everything.
1st - ROM and gapps.
2nd - 1st boot.
3rd - Kernel install.
Now it's all good, thanks for your help guys!
I read somewhere that after a new ROM install, we should do a 1st boot and then install the new kernel! Seems to work that way!

About flashing gapps

Hello friends I got a question:
I'm on cm10/FXP. I update every week. But I never updated gapps. Are there continuous updates or is it just like flash gapps once and you're done as long as you don't change the version of cm?

gapps are not updated, you can still keep them.you'll be notified of new versions of certain apps accordingly via play store, so you'll always be up to date.
Yes!
Yes!
Gapps are for version of android Only if you change you should do it.

SPH-L170 d2spr update/upgrade Cynagenmod & gaaps

OK so I rooted my sprint galaxy s3, and installed cynagenmod with the current gaaps(at the time).
I have upgraded cynagenmod several times through
>settings>about phone>CynagenMod updates
At one point I stopped running cm updates because goomanger prompted me of a new version of gaaps. I was not sure if I needed the current gaaps to also update to a newer release of cynagenmod.
I am currently running
10.1-20130304-EXPEREMENTAL-d2spr-M2
I would like to upgrade to
10.1.2 (stable build)
I have TWRP as my recovery,
Can I just flash both the upgrade for cm and gaaps and not have to reset my phone?
I am not sure if I need to do a full fresh install, because I recall various upgrades making changes to the boot partition.
So I guess I am looking for the proper procedure to upgrade/update cm and gaaps.
When a fresh install is necessary, and the order in which gaaps needs to be installed..., before? simultaneously? Or after?
thanks

[Q] Updated to 4.4 and Flashed PA gapps, now apps won't download?

Hi. I updated to an unofficial Carbon 4.4 kitkat build. I flashed the PA gapps and rebooted.
Normally my phone would autodownload all my apps that I had installed previously, but it didn't this time.
Anyone know why?
It happens sometimes ... Wipe and reinstall again ... I usually go back to a nandroid version to re-sync Google then reinstall and all works well

Open GAPPS Issue

i am using stock version of open gapps on motorola atrix hd. right now i have google play store version 5.10.30. i am on CM 12.1. nothing is working properly unable to connect to internet or downloading apps. and also feeling trouble in using other gapps too.
should i go back to TK gapps? as they were working fine but they were behind one version. so i thought its better to update gapps.
Is the version of your device compatible with the version of the GAPPS you've just installed? Maybe your device's firmware is out of date. I think the GAPPS version is incompatible to your current device firmware version.
