Trying to flash LiquidSmooth, and a few problems

Hi everyone, really sorry if someone has asked this before, but I looked through the forums and couldn't find much pertaining to my problem.
I installed LiquidSmooth 4.2.1 for my I535 Galaxy S3 on Verizon, and it loaded, but I noticed my appstore was gone, preventing me from installing Titanium to get all my apps back.
I googled it and that told me to install Gaaps. So I reflashed the stock ROM, and then installed Gaaps. When I did, every Google related app crashed simultaneously, making the phone near unusable. I figured I'd just reflash the stock image again, and that seemed to fix the problem. Is there anything else I should do, in case something goes wrong?
I have a feeling I might have used the wrong Gaaps? Is there a certain place I'm supposed to look as mentioned here? In that same thread, it looks like the dev doesn't even want to answer where to get the gaaps.
Again, I'm sorry if the answer is obvious, but I am having a little trouble here.

why are you trying to install an inferior dated version?

the google apps are right under the download button in the OP.

I saw that one, and noticed i535 wasn't one of the options listed. Do I just use d2vzw?

yes.

Always make sure to flash a Gapps package when flashing a ROM, unless otherwise specified. Also, when flashing a Gapps package make sure that you flash a gapps package that is compatible with whichever variant phone you are using, in your case d2vzw as well as compatible with the ROM, i.e. if flashing a 4.2.2 ROM make sure you flash the compatible gapps package. Doing an extra 10 minutes of research can save you hours of headaches.

[Android 5.0] Straight from source ROM

Hey guys,
So here is a straight from source build of Android L, 5.0. I have not done anything beside build it from source and flash it. I have not done extensive testing on it.
So anyways, here is the link:
http://d-h.st/zi0
I have not included gapps or anything else. They will be coming soon. This build is primarily to play around with. I would not consider this a daily driver.
Issues:
Probably a ton, seeing as I have only checked if it boots.
I am not responsible for any issues this may cause or anything else that may happen to your tablet as a result of this.
I also have a ton of schoolwork and other things that keep popping up, so my support may be iffy. Please bear with me or go back to 4.4.4.
Here is a screenshot for proof:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/lnmhdapeemskggi/1743495_10153594576754572_4551962379003400239_n.jpg?dl=0
Future Plans for this Rom:
GApps are not yet possible on Lollipop as far as I can work out, due to the fact that baksmali and smali do not appear to play nicely with ART odex files. I will be rebuild the rom to be odexed and then including a gapps package.

Hmm..let me know if you still have issues, because I was able to sideload on my device

Awesome!!
When first booted you need to erase it because it is encrypted. But after that it works (for now) like a charm. Wifi working, sound working.
The only problem so far is that after I installed the Play Store it didn't want to open but the Amazon app store works fine.

I am missing alot of the google stuff, which is probably why none of that works
That will come shortly, I just need to redo a lot of my vendor files and such to get gapps to be built in.

It worked even though it said no OS
first boot takes awhile but it works!

Confirmed it works.
Sideloading gapps for cyanogenmod 11 and hoping they auto update does not work. Worth a shot though. Time to reflash.

Woah, thanks a lot
Btw, how do I sideload gapps? (especially play store)
Since I think it won't be just installing apk, isn't it?

Working great! I think performance is even better than kitkat
Wi-Fi also working (maybe bluetooth, nfc and gps too)

Flashing GApps is the solution. Sadly, there isn't a package for Lollipop GApps yet.

Works great, now waiting for gapps
thanks

Gapps mostly work fine if you edit updater.script
I've only had issue with the keyboard crashing so I'd suggest removing it from the gapps package before flashing.

Woah
I can't wait for the final version, this one, using 4.4.4 binaries, is crazy smooth. Google outdid theirselves on the optimization department.

Awesome work, think im gonna givebthis a try atbwork tomorrow.

So far, everything seems to be working. Have to check camera yet though.

I cant seem to get much else to go with it, but I will share my findings.
I can get TWRP to install,but then I get a bootloop.
If you use the Nexus Root Toolkit v 1.9.3 and "Root" with custom recovery checked. It freezes after trying to temporarily boot the modified boot image.
Hard reset the tablet and boot normally. The toolkit should reboot your tablet back into the bootloader and into TWRP, but this is only good for one boot.
If you mount /system and run a fix permissions, then it stays installed, but never gets past the boot screen.
It boots far enough to get into ADB.
Not sure what to try next though...
I was thinking if we could get a flashable zip without the stock recovery, then we may be able to keep TWRP, but I am not familiarwith building the flashable zips.

Wait, So how do you flash the google play services after you lose TWRP?! I don't understand..

Really great work, thanks secretwolf98! Gave new life to my old Nook HD+, especially with some of my favorite apps starting to no longer support older Android versions. A few issues/questions:
How do I get root? I tried installing the official LineageOS addonsu-14.1-arm.zip as well as amaces' addonsu-14.1-arm-new.zip and they both fail in TWRP with
Code:
ApplyParsedPerms: lsetfilecon of /system/addon.d/51-addonsu.sh to u:object_r:system_file:s0 failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint
Maybe related to the previous if it's an issue with the TWRP I have, but I couldn't find a TWRP 3.1.1-0 zip for Ovation so I just replaced the img in amaces TWRP 3.0.1-0 zip. Is there an actual 3.1.1-0 zip that this ROM requires?
When I select Power Off, my Nook reboots instead and I have to hold down the power button to get it to really shut off. Not a big deal since I rarely power off, but a strange bug.

Thanks, and your welcome. Install this version, https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/file/239817874034
then install this, https://notredame.app.box.com/s/26a4bygh9vbaw7jjq08xr5evomvaw5ww/file/185013076312
Make sure to install G-Apps before ROOT. I recommend, ARM | 7.1 | Pico, from, http://opengapps.org/
Then I recommend going into system and enabling ROOT. Then play around in the system for about 5 minutes. Do a reboot back into the system. Download, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck&hl=en
and make sure ROOT is working correctly. If it's working... Reboot into TWRP then wipe the 2 caches in advanced. Install my latest version, https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=27077
Then wipe the 2 caches again (said above), then reboot into system.... See if you have ROOT in "ROOT Checker". If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask.

Hey I downloaded the twrp 3.1.1-0 from the official twrp site but it seems bugged, in that it doesn't read internal nor external storage. Where can I download a good version? Should I use a different version?

Use the latest ClockWorkMod here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062613
and install the ROM from there. I had this same problem with my first Nook HD.... I thought it was 100% Hard Bricked... But it is soft bricked. Nook's can get into soft bricks only. So I bought a new nook, and it runs better. The first Nook has been dropped so many times... After just using is for 30 seconds it felt like a oven. It was on stock... Until April-30-2016, after school I went to spend the night at my friend's house and then I used his computer to ROOT it. Bad idea only getting 30 minutes of sleep that night... Because I wanted to finish to install CM 10 on the Nook. Then a day or 2 later I installed CM 11. I was so tired on my birthday the next day. So I would say on May-9-2016 it did the same thing in the recovery like yours. I did own the Nook for like 5 years with stock.

stable android 11 released for op7p

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......

Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?

There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.

Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...

im on 10.3.8 and rooted..
can i just do the same old process.. twrp isnt an issue as long as may apps are safe and root..

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..

Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.

Help with nexus 7 (2012) rom

Hi. for 2 days I have been googling and looking on this forum on which rom is best for nexus 2012, but I can't find anything at all. most posts are for 2013 version or outdated with dead links.
I was able to get lineage 14.1 on it, but it was missing google play, after following some guide here and installing Gapps, it then stopped booting. it got stuck on the google logo and that's it. lineage 14.1 itself worked fine, installation of gapps succeeded, but simply won't boot. tried several times. always gets stuck on google logo (waited over 15 minutes).
before that i had some kali version on it, but out of the blue it stopped working and wouldn't boot anymore, that's where i deciced to try lineage. i dont want kali on it anymore as it was sluggish to start with.
so I thought I'll just put original rom on it and was looking for original 2012 rom download, but it seems like it comes in pieces like system.img boot.img ..etc and I don't want to overwrite my bootloader or lock the device again or cause other issues. I just want a working rom that can be sideloaded.
can someone please point out which rom is actually working with nexus 7 2012 and can be flashed using sideload or twrp loader.
I already have everything working, such as twrp, fastboot ..etc. I can easily sideload any working zip or img, but I simply can't find a working one.
I find only dead links on this forum and elsewhere, such as this one "xxxxxx" which is suppose to be for some nightly version. and some dead gapps links that point to dead domains or link just doesn't even exist.
please dont start suggesting to buy new tablet. i'm poor and i have no money and i only need this tablet to use with my smart plugs and camera. i'm not going to buy new tablet just for that. i just want to keep it on charger 24/7 so i can monitor my plugs and camera. that's all.
but for that i need working android rom and google play store so i can download and update apps.
I don't have any backups nor important data on it, however i want to keep it unlocked and keep the twrp.
any help would be appreciated. thanks.

it was bit sluggish and got stuck couple times during boot, but it worked.
I think better question to ask is: does any of the ROMs comes with gapps?
It was like 5-6 years ago so i don't remember much, but i installed some version of kali on it and it had everything included (play store and other stuff). however as i mentioned before, for some reason it got really, really sluggish and at some point it just stopped booting completely.

so your question is about gapps. ROMs always should provided without google apps for licence violation.
use older installer. check recovery.log
