I've been playing around with my phone for a couple days now, and have had some poor results. I have got to the point where I have the latest version that I can find of TWRP and have updated the os. No matter what I have tried to do or research I can't get any Gapps to work or let me log in to sync contacts or anything to do with the play store apps. Any and all help is greatly appreciated on where I'm going wrong with it.

Hey guys first time posting here, but have been reading up lately after getting this issue on my S3 i747 with AOKP ROM.
Did the auto update from my phone and it seemed to apply but now I cannot launch the Play Store, Gmail app or sign into my YouTube. When trying to launch the Play Store it tries, then crashes, same with Gmail. When I try to sign into YouTube by clicking on the sign-in option, it just fails. The biggest concern I have is that I cannot see Google on my list of accounts to sync in settings.
After reading some of the dev forums here I get the idea that I may need to reflash my gapps? But not sure how to do it or if that will in fact fix my issue. I don't know if I have a back up on the phone as I had a friend do the rooting for me.
Really appreciate what you guys are doing here for newbies like me. Hope someone can help!

Download gapps and flash it in cwm. It's probably located in the OP of your ROM
I unlocked the bootloader a few days ago and flashed a custom recovery and rom, ever since then some apps seem to either get stuck on the splash screen or just straight up crash on trying to open them. When I was on Pixel Experience android 10 rom, the whole os would crash when I opened some apps. Currently I'm running Resurrection Remix 8.6.7 and application like amazon, google photos, chrome and even F-droid and bromite crash when I try to open them, while other apps like firefox, whatsapp seem to work fine. Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. I can also provide a logcat if that would be of any help.

It works perfectly fine for me?
Maybe describing the issues in detail would help get the answer you need... an older version might work better.
Try uninstalling/reinstalling. Gmaps has been a mess for years now... the Swiss Army knife of maps that does everything, and nothing well.
Given time Google will perfect, then destroy their apps, even their OS.
Gmail reached its zenith 11 years ago.
Gmaps over 7 years ago.
Android, 2 years ago.
Picasso, Yeah... never mind
Use rooted google maps
My solution was I downgraded the Google maps app and it's working good now thank you for the advice guys very much appreciated

I always use the loaded factory versions of both Gmail and Gmaps. The Playstore updates screw them up. It's been like that for years...
Uninstall the one included with the phone or clear data for it (but don't disable it). Update to the newest one from Google Play, but also make sure Google Services is updated.
The preloaded versions are usually outdated and may have the wrong info (if you actually use it), but newer versions rely on the backend updates. It's been that way since Google Services became the dumping ground to support third-party apps.
Hello,
I have just installed tarkzim's Lineage OS 18.1 - the latest - version on my Z5 without Gapps. Unfortunately it turns out to be unusable because of a serious bug (at least on my phone it shows, and I have no better name for it than to call it a bug): launching the browser (indispensable on a smartphone) crashes the whole system and causes an immediate reboot.
I wonder if anyone else has encountered the same problem or if there is someone who has been able to fix this or has a workaround at least.
Otherwise I hope that the developer reads this here, too, and will look into the problem. For now my Xperia is bricked, but I will follow the development and forthcoming versions, of course, hoping for improvements.
I have another mobile - so I can live with that bricked one for a while ;-)
Hey,
I´ve got basically the same bug, but managed to play around a bit further. From what I could gather, the Phone crashes and reboots every time I open certain apps. I have Gapps istalled and notized two problems.
Crashes and reboot on startup of certain apps, like Chrome, pre istalled browser, Outlook, G-Mail, Mattermost or Amazon Shopping. Other apps seem to do fine. Firefox, k-9 Mail, Whatsapp, Telegram, Sotify work more or less without a problem.
Crashes and reboot on sign in. From the few that I tested, Vanced was the most interesting one because I could open and play Youtube Videos normally but it always crashed when I tried to log in. I could login through microg but since then my phone started to crash and reboot every few minutes. Uninstalling all vanced related apps did not solve the problem. Some apps crashed on sign in and since then werent able to get running again.
I really like the Lineage version, and I wouldn´t even mind finding the "working" apps using them (does´nt really matter to me if I use Chrome or Firefox) but certain apps I need to work like Mattermost.
I hope someone could help with our problem because I really want Lineage to work on the Z5. It feels so... clean and smooth.
Good to hear that someone else has similar issues with this LineageOS version - and regrettable, too, of course. Even without GApps it is unusable so far. But I really hope that this version is not the 'last word', and will continue improving. I know it is a big task for a programmer.
I have just seen that a new version is available. When I find the time, I will replace the version on my phone with the new one and report.
As many of you know, bliss os 14.3 and it's variants usually have mixed results regarding wifi/BT connectivity, depending on your device(s), which in turn makes it nearly impossible to get the most out of the OS in most cases. I can't say for certain that this is a % fix/workaround, but, I wanted to share with you all in case this helps you get your OS up and going to your liking.
By default, Google play services loops or FC's out of the box. So I went out of my way on a working pc to DL from "apkpure" a current/up to date version of said apk, as well as the Play store, FX viewer and chrome. Then, I put them on a trusty usb, xferred them onto the laptop I use with 14.3 currently and just installed them all without running any of them afterwards. Next, I rebooted and then opened the play store and I was able to log into my account and start updating/installing apps as normal. Hopefully, this helps you all out too because I'm loving my laptop now and I'd be glad to help ya'll out too if I can. If someone can recompile bliss os images properly to include out the box current versions of Google service I'd love to hear from ya.
I also updated all apps but the problem still exists.
