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.
Any further questions/stuff you want to add to this please post below!
Is it really needed to flash Gapps ? If i just want to experience the ROM can i just not flash the Gapps ?

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.

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

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.
SO after rooting my OnePlus i had to flash install my google apps, unfortunatly the default messenger app that comes stock with the one plus is also gone, this is very important for me because its the only messenger app(from my knowledge) that can be customized with my purchased themes i have. Changing messaging themes does not work on 3rd party messenger applications so i cant download any from play store either! ANY HELP?
No one?
A little more information, please? What ROM were you flashing? What gapps? Etc etc
Wipe, flash your rom that includes stock messenger, install nano pa gapps (google play services and google search), install other needed gapps by google play.

okay to summarize, i installed cm-12 on my one plus, after that i literally had 10 apps. i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/par...apps-official-to-date-pa-google-apps-t2943900
to get all my google services, it does come with a messenger app but it is not the stock one.
I wanted the stock messenger app that comes with the OnePlus it is not in the play-store
hope i can get some help thank you
note its not just the default messenger app i wanted there are some small apps like torchlight that come with the one plus that are great and not 3rd party
Did you make a backup of CM11S before flashing CM12? If so, just restore your backup and you can extract the apps using a root-enabled file explorer.
I think, what he's talking about is the stock 4.4.4 messenger. Just download a 4.4.4 ROM and extract the apk from it, and then install it on CM12.
Here's my problem, I've flashed the latest gapps on my m8 and everything works just fine, however, I noticed that play store are not showing images and icons for all the apps. It load just a few of them randomly. And screenshots NEVER loads.
I still can download and update things.
For reference, I checked the " Hosts " file and this came up on the top:

64.233.188.102 smtp.gmail.com[...]
It happens both on WiFi and mobile data.
Already performed a "clear data" in both play store and Google play services, sign-out from my play store account, wipe dalvik/data via recovery. Etc.
Any help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using a rom based on the stock sense's lollipop
There's really any significant changes.
My model is the Chinese one (M8t) if that matters.
When I flashed the gapps using the original rom it didn't happened, however, it was the FULL gapps, containing a lot of bloat. This time around I used a minimal package, containing only the essential for play store to work (play services etc).
Thanks.

ok so there is two ways
1- the flashing process didn't go well
2-gapps problem
actually i use minimal gapps for android 5.1.1 and i don't have any problems
so you have the following to do :
1- re-flash the ROM and then reboot ..let your phone settle down..reboot to recovery wipe cache and dalvick cache then flash the minimal gapps
2-reflash the minimal gapps without the re-flashing the ROM ....(over-write the gapps again )
if both ways didn't work for you i recommend you change the GAPPS (maybe try delta gapps or get back to full )
good luck man

Thanks mate.
It's weird because I can't find Google+ through the play store , my Play games account doesn't connect.
My gapps package wasn't downloaded from xda, maybe that's the problem.
Could you link me to the one you're using?

it still doesn't load icons an screenshots... I need serious help here. This is the only rom that works on my m8, since I don't have the RUU for it
Someone must have a solution for my issue. It should be something related to the "Hosts" file inside System>Etc.
Guys, don't let me in the dark.
Hmm. I al so get this problem but on 4.1.2 JB . There is way how to solve iy. Just go to setting. Go to wifi. Tap on your wifi and choose modify network. Tap advance optins. Choose static. And adjust your dns2 to 4.4.4.4 and the other one is 8.8.8.8 . Try to swap this two if this not working.

EDIT
fixed my problem by deleting the "Hosts" file.
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.

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
is there any rom that will completely get rid of google? i tried viper and the play store was still there
i just don't want any gapps
To my knowledge, the only real true way is to root and flash an aosp rom (if available). They usually don't include Google apps unless you flash a gapps zip file. I hope that helps

just delete google play services and playstore manually.
There's a fork of lineage os that removes the google framework. There was an article on xda a bit ago. Anyway, here's the project page (https://lineage.microg.org/) and here's the article (https://www.xda-developers.com/unofficial-lineageos-built-in-microg-avoid-google-services/)
