[Q] [Team Canjica] OmniROM 4.3 missing Play Store and Google account

I have updated stock Android 4.1.2 on Samsung Galaxy S Advance to Team Canjica OmniROM 4.3 (omni-4.3.1-20131218-janice-HOMEMADE.zip). Everything finished successfully. But when I restarted my device I can not see a Play Store app and in system settings in accounts there is no account type of Google. So I can not sign in and use my device. I also tried to install (omni-4.3.1-20131208-janice-HOMEMADE.zip) but it ends the same.
Please help me. Or maybe I am missing something and I should add my Google account somewhere else. I also tried to add it as exchanged account, but it can not connect to server.

Warning: No file_contexts
I am also getting following message during flash:
Warning: No file_contexts
but flash progress bar is still moving and when it has finished I can reboot to system but Play store app is missing

Second atempt
I tried one more time. I have restored stock Android 4.1.2 by download mode, then rooted and then installed again update with custom ROM, but still get the same warning and Play store and Google account is missing

Did you install Gapps (for Android 4,3)? And did you do a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cache?

Yes I have followed the instruction.
I have done a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cach.
Then installed OmniROM and Gapps.
After rebooting system I am missing Play store and Google account.
I have also rebooted to recovery mode and made once again a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, but it also did not help.
No I realized that even I have installed in recovery mode: Gapps it was also missing after rebooting to system.

Sounds like you forgot to download and flash the appropriate GApps package for your new ROM. Carefully re read the OP of that ROM thread and find the link for downloading GApps. GApps are the Google App packages for AOSP based ROMS. Those packages usually include the Playstore and other Google Apps.

I have installed this file with GApps

Sounds like your Gapps package isn't fully installing. I would try installing the ROM, boot into the ROM and let it settle. Then reboot to recovery and install Gapps.

I will try to install Gapps after first reboot.
Can you confirm that this is correct Gapps file I should install?
goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Previously when I tried to install Gapps there was displayed success message,
but after installing ROM there was only message: Warning: No file_contexts
but as far as I found on forum I should ignore this message.
But it was strange that there was no success message after installing ROM even if install progress was still moving when this warning was displayed.

That is the correct Gapps package for most 4.3 Roms. As I am not familiar with your ROM, I would double check the OP to make sure that is the package you should be using.

Tomorrow I will try your suggestion. But first I will have to make some backup of my phone because I do not want to configure all settings in my stock android again if custom ROM would fail again.

I use the same ROM with the same Gapps file. It works fine for me.
I have had the same problem when I had forgotten to wipe the dalvik cache after installing a new ROM, but if you have already done that (and again), I don't know what else to suggest (apart from retrying everything from scratch).

Thank you for information. I will try it again.

Play Services force-closing - fix?

Yes, this is a straight-forward fail - I am running a CM13-based ROM and flashed a nightly build (has been redrawn meanwhile) onto my N5 without backing up first. Right after the first reboot, I received a "Play Services has stopped working" error message and this keeps appearing all the time. Additionally, the Google Now Launcher has disappeared from my launcher list - and of course, all the Play Services-dependent features don't work, i.e. Chrome, Contacts sync, Play Store and so on. So, my phone basically is useless.
I suspect all the problems arise from the non-working Play Services. I managed to uninstall them after deactivating the Android Device Manager and re-installed the latest version, but this didn't fix the problem. Is there anything else I can try? Or is there no way around a complete wipe?

have u flashed Gapps?

Tried it, but didn't help either. I'll just go for a full wipe now. But thank you for answering!

try clearing Cache and dalvik cache and then delete the host file from "etc" folder!

I should've tried deleting the host file. Wiping Dalvik and Cache didn't work before...
Anyway, I took the opportunity, put my 32GB mainboard in and set up everything from scratch.

Are you using amplify?

No, I didn't use that.

[HELP] Gapps Keep crashing & no Apps or data Deleted After Wipe

Hello Guys i have a problem in my galaxy s I9003 : Gapps Keep Crashing every time and i can't open any gapp (APP) and also when i wipe data or uninstall apps they Get Back after reboot i tried factory reset and Deleted Google services data and cache or google frameworks but nothing Works even if i uninstalled an app i find it in apps after reboot it looks like data wipe or memory is not deleting data help me please , Thank you !

Hi, the only thing I could suggest is using a different GAPPS, below I have linked a website that has all the different types of GAPPS for many different versions of android.

Issue with Google Play Services after fresh install of ROM, normal fixes don't work

I was getting sporadic crashes of various apps on my old custom ROM, so I decided I would update to the latest Sultan's ROM since everyone seems keen on it. I followed the instructions exactly, including installing the CM snapshot linked in that thread. Upon booting for the first time I get the message "Android System There's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset." (I've reset the device in this fashion from within TWRP, and then reinstalled everything, to no avail.) And then I get constant "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped." messages. Installing just the Sultan ROM without Open GApps does not produce these errors. I tried the latest Cyanogen OS release for my One and it produces the same errors. Thinking there might be some configuration file or something that is leftover from a previous install, I deleted almost all of the files associated with older apps from the "data" folder on my Internal Storage partition and tried reinstalling again, still with the same result.
In the past, I had to perform a number of tweaks to get the phone to work correctly with the previous ROMs I had installed. For example, the proximity sensor was broken for a long time until I incorporated a fix. Is it possible that I tweaked something that has not been reset by the usual wiping process? I find it curious that it is some aspect of the Google apps that causes the phone to have these issues-- maybe the wrong version of Google Play Services is being installed? Is there some really deep wipe / reinstall process that can ensure that any such tweaks are deleted?
Incidentally, I have ADB working fine and have created a TWRP backup of a usable install of Sultan's ROM (without gapps). This gives me basic functionality, but without Google services I don't have access to (for example) my contacts, which is no fun at all.
Edit: I just tried again with the open gapps "pico" package and still get the error. Is there some subset of "aroma" that I can install that is even smaller? Trying to figure out exactly where the failure occurs.

See if google play services permissions are checked. Go to settings/apps/google play services/permissions and turn them on.

google play services stops when restoring backup

Hi All,
I just made a clean install of this ROM and also flashed the gapps (downloaded from opengapps.org-nano package). When i select 'copy from data-previous backup', after loading for some time, google play services force closes. and a small windows pops up at the bottom saying ' there was a problem in migration'. i made a clean installe: wipe data factory reset, cache, dalvik cache, flashed gapps-reboot. any idea why this problem persists and how to resolve this. i seriously dont wanna install each app from the playstore again. very annoying

You have not what version of android you have and what version you had before clean install. I am assuming that you are coming from marshmallow to nougat. You cannot have that data back as it does not support right now. Data from old version is not able to migrat to new because it has data from application which were designed for marshmallow and it cannot be migrated to nougat.
