I have tried from several places with the same gapps version. Can I try to install a older version of gapps and than just let them automatically update once I have booted?

I already started flashing the the version of gapps that I posted and it worked! Paranoid Android gave me an update to the latest gapps and now it is updating. Thank you for your help. Also, what should I do if I want to switch to OmniROM later on. Can I just flash the OmniROM zip and the gapps zip or do I have to do something extra?

Comming from paranoid, I suggest first to back up apps data and wipe caches before the flashing the Rom .
You should not have any issues there after but if any, the wipe data and flash Rom and pa gapps

So do the same process as when I was flashing paranoid. All I have to do is wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik chache, and flash the rom and the gapps?

Yep, that's pretty much what's recommended for changing Roms. I personally don't clean anything when flashing similar Roms but PA is a bit complex imo and you already had issues with it. so, wipe.

Ok for some reason, gapps updated and then it said that it has to install so it rebooted me into recovery and it started to install but it said that there was an error in the rom manager script or something like that. So I just got fed up and restored my backup that I had. So now I am back on stock. I want to install OmniROM though tomorrow.

So lets say that I just want to install OmniROM. Will OmniROM work with CWM?
Also will I be able to automatically update gapps once OmniROM boots because for some reason I cannot flash the latest version of gapps so I have to use an older version?

You can also get gapps from goo manager and the online version.

It's not that PA doesn't work with CWM, just the ota app.
OmniROM requires twrp or CWM-based recovery. Not CWM itself if I recall.
You also have zero reason to install those gapps updates on either rom..
Gapps are updated automatically through the play store.

ok. Sorry if I am asking too many unnecessary questions. So since I have ClockWorkMod Recovery, I can easily install OmniROM by just flashing it and than installing gapps after that right?

Trouble with Google Play Services on Cyanogenmod

I have Cyanogenmod 13 installed on my gt-p5113. I love it except for one issue. Google Play Services does not work. When I installed the ROM, it did not come with Google Play Services. I installed a copy from apkmirror.com, and it crashes several times on boot, then does not run. How do I fix this?

I flashed both, then used the basic wipe. Flashing would wipe the system, and the basic wipe covers cache, dalvik, and data (except /data/media). So, yeah, I did the required wiping.

last chance
beginning from scratch.
boot into recovery. wipe system, cache, dalvik. then format data.
after format data reboot back into recovery.
now install rom and gapps. be sure that you dont make a reboot between rom and gapps flashing. flash gapps right behind the rom.
if all files installed. wipe cache/dalvik.
now reboot system.
if it doesnt help, i have no more idea. i never had those issue in 4years of flashing roms and 1,5 years of building roms.

I will do that. I'll come back on when I am done.

I am back. That fixed it! Giving you a thanks for that. (I would give 10 if the site allowed me to do that).

Wifi and bluetooth not working in R7 plusf

I run CM 13 and want to back to color os because it is not run so smooth. I format and then flash stock recovery image (then recovery) via twrp and reboot to stock recovery.
In stock recovery i wipe data and cache. That's problem come. Before finish, the screen goes black. I try to power on the device, back to wipe data then the screen goes to black again. I try to boot to recovery and fastboot but it remain the same, back to wipe data and then the screen goes to black..
I try repair it using msm tool but because my comp not recognize the device, i use QFIL. And then i can use the fastboot to boot stock recovery. Suceed. But no os inside. Try and error many times, i can power on the device at the end.
But now the other problem comes. My wifi and bluetooth not work. And message nv backup appear.
Flash project spectrum. Wifi and bluetooth work. I flash back to stock os. Wifi and bluetooth not work again..
May someone help me to solve the problem (make bluetooth and wifi work again)?

To get back to ColorOS from spectrum flash this rom from internal storage.

I think your initial problem was that you didn't flash open Gapps right after you flashed CM13.
Most users who are new to custom roms don't know that they have to flash Google apps separately.

Did you boot into CM after flashing CM? and then installed Gapps later on? This could explain corrupted cache.
Always follow these steps on custom roms. (first time install not upgrade)
Boot into TWRP, select wipe/factory reset.
1. Install CM Rom
after that select the next zip (or add more zips to flash)
2. install Gapps.
Let it boot and setup your phone.
If you follow this you will never have a problem in CM.
Especially the R7 series. Every change to the code is closely tripled (even quadruple) checked by devs.
Because the R5, R7, R7Plus, R7S all share the same base and its tested in on every phone.

I don't know about the R7Plus TWRP. I don't maintain that TWRP. I know that my R7S TWRP works with OTG.
Internal storage should have been fine. I think it will stay a mystery why you received those errors.

Bootloop upon flashing Open Gapps in CyanogenMod 13

Hello!
I could not find any other threads related to this issue, so my apologies if this is a "duplicate" thread
So I found my old Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 (Model GT-P5113 in Samsung ROM, identified as Galaxy Tab 2 in CyanogenMod) in a cabinet doing nothing, so I thought I would flash CyanogenMod on it and get some use out of it. And so I did; I flashed the nightly build of CM 13 in the "espresso wifi" image. Now, that worked just fine, but when I tried to flash open gapps (open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20161217.zip to be exact), I got some sort of boot loop; the device starts and gets into the App Preparer thing (pardon my ignorance) and begins preparing the google apps, and once it does all 16 apps, it starts preparing some other cyanogen mod apps, or at least I believe they are cyanogen mod apps, and then the app preparer just closes, and the boot animation restarts. If I wait long enough, it will once again get to the app preparer and begin flashing 2 apps, I could not see the first one, and the 2nd was the Google app. It would then begin flashing the cyanogen mod apps and then it would close, and the cycle would restart. I flashed Gapps right after flashing cyanogenmod; I did NOT boot into the rom upon installing open gapps. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I will provide more information if it is needed. All help is appreciated.

You should only flash gapps RIGHT AFTER you flash CM13. If you flashed it after Cm13 boots up, you will face some issues. (Like bootloops, force closes, etc)

Hi, Lightracer, thanks for the reply! I did not boot up the tablet after installing CyanogenMod; however the same result occurs whether I flash it with or without a boot up in between (I needed to reflash CM multiple times)

What happens if you let it complete rebuilding the ART cache (app preparer)? Does it do that everytime? Also, did you do a clean flash? (Wiping System, data, cache, art cache, and then flashing the rom? I never had issues like that with installing gapps :silly:

thats the cause of your problem. wrong twrp version. go to andi34.github.io and download the latest common twrp (3.0.2-8). choose the zip. you can install it with your current twrp. then reboot back into recovery and reinstall rom and gapps.

That worked, thanks! I was initially following CyanogenMod's guide for the specific Galaxy Tab 2 Models (P5100,P5110/P5113), which included older CM images and the older TWRP, but flashed the espresso wifi image upon realizing that the guide was out of date. Also, the newest version of TWRP I could find for the Galaxy Tab 2 was version 3.0.0.0, but it still worked fine.

You could download the common twrp which works for every samsung galaxy tab 2 model. The newest version is 3.0.2-8 which is found on andi34.github.io under recoveries. This could be useful if you want to flash newer roms.
