On a tablet Samsung Galaxy tab 2 10.1 (3G) I installed Lineage OS 14.1, then after I installed the PICO Gapps I realized that the settings screen of the tablet was completely white without any writing .. At this point I tried to reflash from TWRP Lineage but it gave me an error, I then tried to do a factory reset wipe but the automatic startup configuration of lineage crashed, I then tried to make a format given by TWRP and this once android started but I found the gapps and the white screen on settings, how should I do so that I cleanly install the rom in order to solve the problem of the white screen in settings, then trying to install the gapps avoiding that it recurs the white screen problem in settings? Thanks a lot to those who want to help me, I don't know how to solve it.
I tried to do an advance wipe (Davilk, System, Cache, data and internal storage) and then I made a format data, doing so I flashed the rom correctly without errors, immediately after I also installed the pico gapps, thinking that maybe installing them at the same time as the rom that problem of the white screen on settings would not have arisen, while instead nothing has changed unfortunately .. so now I wanted to reflect the rom and try to solve differently with the gapps, but it always gives me error 7 as you can see from screen, the first time it worked facendadvance wipe and formed date now even doing this I always get this error ... the strange thing is that it worked before and now it doesn't ... someone can help me to solve it please?
read here in the post I wrote, practically the first time it worked by reading the guide you gave me and I managed to flash the rom, then I immediately put the gapps back thinking that maybe installing them together with the rom they worked while I always have the problem of the screen white ... so I wanted to reflect the rom without putting the gapps back and then maybe try to install them differently but it gives me the usual error and it does it even if I delete everything as the guide you sent me that the first time had worked ...someone can help me to solve it please?
update, after many tests in the end I managed to flash the rom, there is no explanation, simply trying and trying again it decided to work .. now I have not installed the gapps and the android settings screen I see it correctly ... now what I ask you how can I install the gapps so that I do not create this problem of the white screen in settings? I don't care who knows what google works, I just need the play store I downloaded the PICO gapps from directly from the gapp site by choosing ARM + 7.1 + PICO As you can imagine I would like to avoid finding myself with the same problem again since it is not easy to solve, I am not an expert, so I rely on you .. Thanks a lot to those who want to help me.

Use SD card for installation los zip. And download it again, if you'll still get same error than change TWRP version.

yes I used the sd card to install the rom, I just made a post a few seconds before you wrote saying that you have solved the installation of the rom. Actually I downloaded the rom again, but I don't think this is the cause since a few minutes before the installation of the rom had worked ... then I also tried to transfer the rom file back from the pc to the microsd and it always did not work, as soon as the 'i downloaded again it worked..so i guess it was a coincidence ... Now as I said in the previous post to yours, the problem is how to install the gapps or in any case, even just the play store is okay with me ... I would like to avoid the problem of the white screen in android settings that I had by installing the PICO gapps recur again ... anyway I wrote everything in detail in the previous post ... I hope someone can help me. Thanks

My bee it's gapps bug, this is not the first time to happening this.
I don't use gapps at all, specially not on that prehistoric device. It's laggy and pretty much slow and useless.. I advice you to check AuroraStore (FOSS Google play) on xda forum or install f-droid and search it there.

so the white screen on settings is a problem that has already happened to others with the installation of gapps, the strange thing is that I have seen on tyoutube others who have installed it without problems having the same device .. however if there are alternatives I can do without it.
I installed Aurora store 4.1.1, in the installation procedure I left the checkmarks that were by default and I always went ahead .. right? I did a bit of research to test this new app since I didn't know it .. and I saw that it has everything, but maybe not everything that the play store has, for example the YAP app (by nexi payment) it is not there, while for example on aptoide it is found .. why? From what I understood Aurora store should have all the apps from the play store so it is strange that there is not this one too.
For more info go to AuroraStore thread

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
hi there, i got a problem where after i flashed gapps, after i reboot, an error appears saids ''unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped.''
can any please help me... sorry im still a newbie....
Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

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.
Hello Everyone,
First time post. I scoured through numerous posts about the Play Store unable to find one related to mine. I will give as much detail as I can. Pretty simple if you are savy with rooting.
Phone: HTC Evo 4G
ROM Installed: MazWoz-Evo-B6 (Jellybean
GoogleApps Version: gapps-JB-20121124
Have attempted other ROMS and gapps versions. Just a few. But enough to know I must be missing a step or it is just broken and no one has it running :S. I have cleared all the cache, both the Play Store app cache and in Recovery mode Cache's. I just started into this Rooting last night. Very comfortable installing different ROMS. But why is the Play Store broken on each one? I have tried installing the ROM, Booting up, shutting down and than installing Gapps. Along with installing Gapps right after the Rom install. I clear everything for fresh install of both. It is getting me no where and the internet is full of all kinds of topics related to the Play Store. But nothing that fixes this issue.
I can not get connected to the Google Play Store. Using an existing google account to log in with, it never makes it into the store. But using this step does setup the email for the phone. Maybe that will help pinpoint an idea to you guru's. I hope someone can help.
Thanks!
Maveej
first thing. ensure that your rom download and gapps download are both good downloads and not corrupt. even partially corrupt files can flash unless you used md5 checksums. But since each rom is having a problem... really looks like your gapps might be the problem...
thats something to check at least...
Play Store DB reset

Android's play store is oddly configured. Depending on your rom's tweaks, a variety of things can cause playstore issues including: LCD Density (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.model= (via /system/build.prop), ro.product.manufacturer= (via /system/build.prop), and lastly the Google Play Database file.
Sorry I can't remember the location of this file, but basically on our phones there is a database file, I believe an SQL DB. If you have lots of problems, you can try to close google play, erase cache/data to the app, then rename the db file to **OriginalNameOfFile**.BAK
open google play, and it should be fixed
I have a rooted HTC Desire X.
I installed slimbean from scratch following the instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-desire-x/development/rom-slimbean-3-1-unofficial-t2842487
1.- Wipe everything from TWRP, factory reset, internal storage and system.
2.- Install slim-0.1-protou-090814.zip and gapps-jb-20121011-signed
3.- Reboot
After reboot I connect the smartphone to the wifi and when I try to open Play Store it opens and closes by itself.
I tryed everything! Clearing apps cahe, factory reset from TWRP after installation, updating Play Store and Play services from Aptoide, installing gapps-jb-20130813-signed, installed cm10 instead of slimbean... All with the same result.
The only way I could make Google Play to open was with MIUI ROM. But this ROM is only in english, german and chineese and has a lot of bugs.
I think that the problem is that I can't add my gmail account for some reasson, maybe a play services problem. If I go to settings/accounts and press + button nothing happens.
Please I would appreciate help because now I have an unusefull device.

Your best bet is to ask in the thread you got the ROM from or to post in the Q&A section of your device.
Have you tried turning off wifi to connect to Play? I see this was an issue previously and not sure it was fixed on SlimBean, but is fixed on SlimKat.

Thank you for your interest KennyG123,
Yes, I tryed to open it without connection to the Internet and it does the same.
It's a good advice, I will post this in the slim ROM for HTC Desire X threat since I think this should be a general problem, because I haven't installed nothing else.
I tryed to post this problem in the main slimbean threat but no one is answering there anymore so I keep trying.
I instaled cyanogenmod 10.2 with gapps-jb-20130813
I have the same problem but i found out that the problem is that I can't sign in with my Gmail account.
CM12 has a first set up menú that opens the first time you load android after flashing it. In this menú I am asked to enter my Gmail account but when i press add Nothing happends. So I can only ignore this step to continúe.
If I go to settings/accounts/+add account i go to another menú mail/work account/cyanogenmod/google. If I press Google it goes to the previous screen.
It looks like if gapps doesn't work for this old ROMs anymore.
Hi guys,
I searched the forum and I found a thread with "Google Play Services Stops Working" with no fix for this problem and unfortunately this issue started affecting me when I completely wiped the phone with OS (accident) on it and started from scratch.
I tried latest version of play store, not so late, different installation methods and the result is still same. After awhile the google account is deleted and play services are not working.
I forgot to mention when the OS was restored and updated I had to manually install Play services.
It says not supported by my device. Is there any way how to get it permanently fixed again ?
Thanks in advance,
E.
How did you install GAPPS (Google Apps with all the needed services?
I downloaded latest play store .apk and installed it from there. I even tried different versions, different sources ...
It's working for few hours and then it stops working ( I click on play store and it's just about to open, few ms quick white flash and nothing happens) and I have to reinstall it and redo my accounts.
You have flashed all the services and apps google play store need?
Try flashing the latest opengapps package.
Use the following options to generate:
Platform: ARM64
Android: 5.1
Version: you choose
maybe try install gapps from HiAPP (market from huawei)

No need. I had the same issue; at some point my stock Play Market just vanished, ran into a bunch of other issues, but solved it by installing a full gapps package generated on opengapps (I use the pico version).
I installed gapps successfully :highfive:
There was some error with MD5 but at the end it was fine.
Let's wait and hope it did what it was supposed to do.
Thank you guys

Hi,
I bought a new Xiaomi MiPad 2 64GB Android version but was bit disappointed when I didn't find Google Play Store in it. I tried different suggestion on the internet to install apks manually from various forums (not sure if those apk were legitimate, bit scary now when I think about it) and got play store somehow installed but none of the apps would install. It goes to the stage where you are shown the window with permission the app needs and it fails with a message.
I have restarted the tablet multiple times, tried installing many apps, uninstalled the google installer and reinstalled it but to no avail. Its very disappointing that its so difficult to get google play store on to an Androind tablet!
Has anybody got any suggestions, should I wipe off what Xiaomi provides and get a new ROM in (I haven't done custom ROM installations before)?

I Think You Have To Flash Gapps to Make Playstore Work Mate From Your Recovery ..
As Your Phone is New, You Have To Install A Custom Recovery Like TWRP to Flash Google Apps(GAPPS) ..
Check this link for That ..

You have to change the Data file system to ext4 and then reflash the OS with TWRP. Helps to have an usbOTG cable and a thumb drive with the os.zip and Supersu.update.zip on it because as soon as you reformat the data file, say goodbye to everything on the device. So backup all your stuff to a pc or what have you first. After that your Google apps will work fine. You can just download Google Services framework5.1-1743759(22), Google Account Manager5.1-1743759, Google Play Services10.0.84(x86+x86_64), and Google Play Store7.3.07 from APK Mirror and go to settings, Autostart and select the three that show up. Restart your device and you are good to go.
