[Q] Gapps flashing error

Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )

Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^

Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect

hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''

Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.

Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.

Gapps not appearing

I've searched up the forums and I did not get the solutions I sought.
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy Mini ST-5570, running on CM10 27 August nightly build. When I attempted to flash gapps, Play Store didn't appear at all, no matter which one I flashed (2 August-signed or the one by KonstaT). In the apps list (manage apps), Play Store wasn't even there. Is there a way to fix this problem such that when I flash gapps it would appear?
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Try flashing another one. Make sure the one you flash is for your android version.

CM doesn't contain gapps, so, download the apk of play store, and copy to your sdcard, them, open with any explorer

This won't work because it needs to be installed as a system app.

That doesn't work, I've tried flashing 2 types of gapps and they both don't work.

Actually, I have just found out the root of this problem - my phone has "not enough space available", so I had to do all the "adb commands" to delete all my ringtones and unnecessary stuff -.- But the problem is, my internal phone space gets rather low recently.
I would love to try out the inverted gapps sometime. What is it actually?

Gapps is a package containing certain Google Apps (that what it means). Usually these apps are not found in the market (anymore). It also contains some Google framework files. That version may be smaller, containing only the essential stuff.

make 2 partitions in your sd card, them, install link2sd, after that, transfer some programs to sdcard, after that, install gapps in recovery mode:

Its good you fixed however if you encounter the problem again, try wiping the cache and data for Google play store and services.

Honor 6 H60-L02 GApps problem

I managed to install EMUI 3.1 with Lollipop over stock recovery (because I could find a any other way).
But now I have problems with flashing GApps.
I installed TWRP, but when I try to install zip, I get this error:
INSTALLATION FAILURE: TK GApps can only be installed on top of an existing
TK GApps installation. Since you are currently using another GApps package, you
will need to wipe (format) your system partition before installing TK GApps.

But, I don't have any GApps currently installed

I managed to install other GApps, Minimal Edition

I have installed gapps through the huawei app store, then disabled that app store and used playstore to update

I did that once, but I had problems with contacts sync
Did you have these problems, or is everything good?

everything seems good, I remember I had to install Google Contacts separately from the huawei app store.
to recap: i have installed play store AND google contacts to sync them. then gapps from playstore.
just search for "Google" in the huawei app store and it will find something like a "collection" (which is like all the apps from that developer). in that "collection" you'll find the contact sync app.
Italian website I've read to solve the problem: http://gizchina.it/2014/10/come-sin...oogle-su-huawei-honor-6-e-ascend-p7-dual-sim/
No need to know Italian, just look at the 2 images. Or if you want you can use google translate

CM13 Update Troubleshooting Instructions

I've been seeing quite a few posts on reddit about problems encountered when updating to CM13, and although I haven't used XDA in a while, thought maybe you guys could use some help
When updating, make sure you have Marshmallow Gapps. If you accidentally update and you don't have the gapps downloaded, you can always ADB it through the recovery (which is what I did).
You will almost inevitably have Google Play Services crash on you. A lot. So go to settings, apps, find GPS (make sure to have show system apps enabled) and make sure all permissions are checked for GPS. This fix works on other constantly crashing apps too.
If this doesn't work, or if all the permissions are already enabled, the next step is just to clear data within the app.
These two steps fix alomst all problems to do with apps constantly (or not constantly crashing after updating to CM13.
Find CM13 downloads/changelogs here for all the different devices.
Use the appropriate Gapps file from here. Make sure you select the correct platform.

No Gapps means no contacts imported from Gmail.. No Gmail.. No Play store.. No Play Services.. Apps would be redundant as well.

Yeah, like geekynoob said, you don't theoretically NEED to flash gapps, but you will lose all Google functionality within your device. You won't be able to access playstore, gmail, use chrome, anything. If that's what you want, then sure, go for it, but there's very little point unless you're doing something quite custom.

What if i install gmail, chrome and other apk's directly will it work ?

Those individual apps will work, yes, but remember Gapps is more than just that. The setup wizard, Android Pay, most of the Sync options, Google Play Games, e.t.c. It's definitely worth installing Gapps if you're going to be using Google services. Why are you thinking of not flashing gapps?

Yesterday I did flashed Resurrection Remix on my Old Samsung Note 2 without Gapps and it was way faster. After flagging Gapps it became lagy. So i removed Gapps and manually installed gmail YouTube and chrome and now it is faster and light.

Fair enough. Reason Gapps lag out the phone sometimes (they shouldn't with a OnePlus One) is because of all the extra functionality they add. Also, remember stuff like PlayStore doesn't work, so you'll have to either use a third party store or download all your apps from online. You can get very light Gappshere which shouldn't lag out your phone nearly as much.
