My Stock HTC One S has been superb until about 6 months back when I continually keep getting Google Play Store Errors. It seems to be about 60% of the time which is a major pain.
I finally bit the bullet and rooted / rom'd my phone and have been progressing through the list of roms in XDA to try and eliminate this problem.
However, the Play Store issues persist!!! I've tried about 6 roms and a couple of different Gapps, so what's the cause??
Is the problem in my
Boot
Kernel
The Main Rom
Gapps
The closest I came to finding an answer was this quote - "The issue lies with the wifi module in the kernel. I have a fix should be out by tomorrow" in here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523609&page=30
I've tried the usual clearing cache, uninstalling services, rebooting, try downloading on 3g rather than wifi etc etc etc. But the point is this barely ever works, and We Shouldn't Have to do this!!!! I've googled till my fingers hurt... Any suggestions gratefully received. I love this phone and don't want to change!
My Phone is currently, Hboot 2.15, S-On, cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-ville, gapps-kk-20140105-signed. S4 1.5GHz model. TWRP 2.7 (I think)

U use outdated versions of CM11 and GApps as far as i see. BUT do you get a specific error message? Or does the playstore not connect?

I tried the latest CM11 nightly previously, and the suggested Gapps from the CM website - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps. I confirm I have TWRP = 2.7.0.0
I have now tried again cm-11-20140319-NIGHTLY-ville with the latest Gapps from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 (I chose the minimal Gapps to allow everything else to update from the Play Store).
I'm still getting the "Unknown error code during application installation 960" - I've had others but this is the most common.
The play store does connect - and if an app fails to install, it may (or may not) work later on so it appears totally random.

Hi,
Firstly I would like to thank to the Szezso group for doing such hard work and providing custom ROM 4.4 (KITKAT) for HTC Incredible S users like me.
Really appreciate your work!!!
I have a question, I have just wiped out jelly bean and installed this updated custom 4.4. rom released on 28th March, 2014.
1. Custom rom has been successfully installed
2. Though I got error (status 7) while installing gapps (gapps-kk-20140105-signed,zip), but still i am able to see that Google Play, Picasa, Gmail apps are there after rebooting the phone.
3. As i was not able to sign-in to my gmail account on google store, so i again went to recovery and installed (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) which got installed successfully.
4. inspite of doing all the above things, I am not able to get get my sim card detected (its displaying - No Service), I have tried replacing the sim of other operator but still the same issue.
It would be really grateful if you could help me out in fixing these issues otherwise I have to get back to same Jelly bean again. FYI - I followed the latest links from Thread [[DEV][ROM][CM11][4.4.2]VivoKat[Camcorder][ION][STABLE #7][28/03/2014]]
Look forward for a possible resolution
Thanks,
Puneet
So I woke up today and after about an hour I wanted to open the Play store when it immediatly crashed after opening it. After trying to reboot the phone trouble started.
- My Nexus got stuck in a boot loop (I should probably tell I was running the Google L beta (the one which was out for a while not the newly released 5.0 preview), let it run for over 30 minutes and still nothing, even after a few tries.
- Decided to flash the stock 4.4.4 image from the Google developer website and I got it to work again.
- After I reconfigured all the settings I noticed I didn't have any network: no calls, no text messaging, no LTE, 3G, etc. Also Google play services and other apps weren't working and immediately crashed (camera and gallery).
- I decided to reflash the radio image but without succes.
- After reflashing the stock image a few times I decided to try different versions, so I tried 4.4.3. Still no network.
- Then I tried to flash the newly release 5.0 preview, but that too got stuck in a bootloop (even after going to recovery mode and cleaning the cache, wiping all data).
- So after doing this for a few hours without any luck I thought maybe a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod might work. Things got worse. I noticed when trying to paste the CM image on my device (via windows/usb cable) I was unable to acces my folders. (see images)
- Trying to use the CM installer (from get.cm) resulted into trying to download the installer (APK file) and getting the error 'No SD'. Just that. This also happens when I try to install any other APK. So basically not being able to acces the play store or being able to download single APK's from Google leaves me with all standard apps... Which isn't alot.
- USB drivers are OK (can post pictures if needed). Reinstalled them anyway.
I tried 4.4.0, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 using fastboot without any succes.
So yeah i'm pretty stuck, any help is really appreciated. I tried so many different topics on these forums and others its just getting worse with each method I try to fix the issues.
Flash stock 4.4.4 with fastboot.

I did that, this is where the network issues and Google play crashes started.
I would ask in the L developer release Q&A thread. I believe it can cause similar issues, but I don't know them myself. Those guys in that thread may tho.
You probably need to format your partitions fully before flashing or something along that lines.

I asked it there, thank you for your response.
It's an IMEI issue that's unrelated to Android Lollipop as far as I know.
Hi there,
I earlier had LG g2 AT&T (d800) factory unlocked (lollipop) installed by the provider and I found that apps were getting crashed frequently and I flashed it to cynagenmod 12.1 recently. I see that apps are getting crashed again (the mobile is not rebooting and my uptime shows up for 5 days).
I suspect memory leakages but not sure.
Please help me to fix the issue. I noticed that google services were stopped frequently hence downloaded the latest gapps 5.1 and flashed it.
Every time when I download an app from play store should I need to flash gapps again after clearing the cache ?
Response is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aravind
Tried kitkat but it's not having issues
I wiped all and installed kitkat (cynagenmod 11). Post installation no apps were crashed, the phone was very stable however ringtones weren't working though it is listed and I saw that it was having a right permission on the /system/media/audio/.. folder.
Also, the network signal keeps dropping. Not sure what is the cause of it. Any help will be highly appreciated.
If the following table is correct then I have a GT-N8013. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on it: (N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar.md5).
How close can one get to the latest version of Android and still have a working GT-N8013?
GT-N8000 - Wifi+3G+calling
GT-N8005 - Wifi+3G
GT-N8010 - Wifi (Except USA)
GT-N8013 - Wifi (Only USA)
GT-N8020 - Wifi+LTE

I've just picked up a used 10.1 (first edition) and am hoping to get it onto 5.1.1 or 6.01.
I see a custom CM ROM from Cyanogen, that states it's 6.0 official, but when I go to the site the release is really old for the 8013, and I'm not sure if it's been grouped in with the more recent beta group that is linked in the thread or if it's not.
I also see an older Cyanogen thread for 12, but that's pre 6.0 and appears to be somewhat abandoned.
My Note 3 is on phronesis 6.0.1, and I would like to get the Note 10.1 to as close to that as possible, without dealing with any major bugs.
Thank you for your assistance.
Some progress.
I managed to update mine to Marshmallow 6.0.1 (cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip) via CWM v6.0.3.6 but Google Apps keeps crashing.
I've tried both open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160721.zip (Open GApps) and gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip. Both take hours to install and just keep crashing whenever you try to do anything.
Anyone have any luck getting cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip / and GApps.zip working?

I had it crashing initially too, with CM-13.
I reinstalled the ROM, root, twrp, everything. I also made sure to install the latest "Stock" Gapps, before rebooting once the ROM was in place. Since then I have not had any issues.
I did however have some issues using the nano package. Hope that helps.
Still no joy
I still can't get CM-13 to work. I use CWM. I made sure I was using the latest CWM 6.0.4.6.
I booted into CWM, factory reset and cleared cache. Flashed cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and flashed gapps-600-base-20151107-1-signed.zip.
I then factory reset and cleared cache again and rebooted.
No joy.
What actual gApps and CM-13 did you use? Maybe I need to use the same version of TWRP as you used?
I'm stumped.

I used the ARM 6.0 Stock version for CM 13. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps#Downloads
I ended up swapping to the 2014 model because I got a good deal on a Verizon version (which is locked but oh well), so I don't recall the TWRP that I ran. It sounds like that sometimes gives people issues.
I do recall that using the nano version of gapps was not working for me. Could be a coincidence, but I had constant crashes when I tried using it.
This is the thread I used to grab the ROM and TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-10-1/development/rom-lollipop-t3269375
It helps to read the installation notes properly
The problem(s) I was having were resolved by using twrp-2.8.7.0-gt-n8013 instead of N8013-CWM-Touch-6.04.6. I also used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20160803 instead of nano but I really think it was TWRP that made everything work.
I'm now running cm-13.0-20160523-UNOFFICIAL-n8013 without any problems.
I consider this thread closed.

How did you get KitKat on n8013. It was never released and no one successfully flashed 4.4 n8010 to n8013. Odin keeps giving an error. Please I've been trying for years now since it's been 2 years since update was released and doesn't look like it'll ever release (**** yoi Samsung with your update **** and regions)
Anyone have any luck? I've had this tablet since 2013 and I stopped using it because it has always been such a laggy sluggish experience. I thought I would try putting an AOSP ROM on it to see if that helped. Everything is so old for this device that it's nearly impossible to find the old files, ROMs, recoverys, etc. I can't even get TWRP or CWM to work on it. Maybe it's not worth the trouble anymore.

Well official only kitkat if you are international (Samsung decided not to release a lot of device updates in the us for kit kat including the s3, galaxy light, and this one). However I think you can get CM 13.1, idk about anything more recent but there is a (slightly) active community for it still left. Its a shame that this flagship tablet was neglected. I hope it doesn't happen with future Samsung ones but I've avoided buying any. I still use mine on jellybean for basic internet browsing and games

Not sure if you're still looking but I just installed Android Nougat v7.1.2 using the instructions provided here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185119
I have a N8010 that topped out at 4.1.2. I flashed to a N8013 kernel/rom about 2 years ago which maxed out at 4.2.2 . I just recently found that link to the LineageOS build (Formerly Cyanogenmod) when I was contemplating buying a new tablet. The tablet was getting a bit sluggish so I decided to go ahead and blast it out and see what happened. I was VERY pleasantly surprised! Had some issues getting the Recovery flashed but once I did, it was pretty smooth from there. I had backed up all the apps so once I got it booted and restored all the apps, I was surprised how responsive it is. Oh, and you can say goodbye to all those SD card issues that the Note 10.1 had since this version of Android integrates the external SD with the internal SD so everything gets installed on the external card. No need for apps like folder mount, etc.
I highly recommend it. The only issue is that you lose the integrated S-Pen functionality but you can reinstall some of those apps from the play store and bring back a lot of those features. Some 3rd party apps actually work better.
Good luck!
7.1.2 on GT-N80013
I am currently running an unoffical build I picked up here on xda it is an unofficial Lineage OS build. I haven't currently found any bugs... camera works, bluetooth works, wifi works... at least for me. The build number is 14.1-20170810-unnofficial-n8013

I'd appreciate a link to the rom you installed. Thx.
I'm interested as well I'm still running original os. Also wondering if the rom update works well on these tablets since they are older. As Android matures the os gets bigger which can impact performance on older CPUs.

I recently installed Lineage OS 14 and it is working great.
Tablet is stable, everything works, great battery life.
All devices work gps, etc...
The s-pen will not work like it did stock but there are apps you can get that seem to work better
