Gapps help - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've flashed gapps before without a problem on my Hero, but when I flash them on the Evo, it doesn't give the option to login to my google account. When the phone first boots up, I get the account login screen, but on google accounts it says, "google_login". When I click it, nothing happens. It gives me the option to skip, but I can't sign in to my google account. I don't know if its the version of gapps I'm using. I'm flashing gapps-20110112.zip

What ROM are you using, that will make a difference.

I keep switching between them, I'm realizing that you don't have to flash gapps for every single rom. Right?

It might be the ROM, but I'd try downloading a different zip. Theres a lot. Might just be the one you downloaded.

If I'm not mistaken there are different gapps for GB and Froyo. Make sure you've downloaded the appropriate version and you've wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

That's correct. And you should always flash the newest gapps for the respective version when you flash the rom, and flash gapps after the rom. If you're updating the rom like CM7 #14 > #17, you don't have to re-flash gapps.

[Q] ggingerbread-6

I flashed this rom(I know it's beta) but today it just froze on me. I went to reboot to see if that would help and the phone got stuck on the HTC EVO 4G white screen, so I pulled the battery, hit the power button and nothing still. Just gets stuck on the same screen.
Now, I'm restoring using a backup.
I'd just like to know what happened. I was using it like normal, except I enabled 4G today.
sounds like a rare issue, if you can replicate it with the cm nightlies (being that gginggerbread is discontinued) I'm positive that they would love to see a logcat of it
I unfortunately dont have a fix or knowledge of one for that issue
I agree, wipe everything and flash the latest nightly and then immediately the latest Gapps

Why was it discontinued?
it merged with cm nightlies, they have 4g now
Thanks for all the info.
I've flashed the nightly cm7 and gapps and the gmail app is missing. I can't find it in the market either.
I should probably search the cm7 threads?
reboot your phone, gmail should reappear
you did flash the 20110120 gb gapps, or the one rom manager downloads for it?

I flashed the 20110120 gb gapps. The one in the link from the guy above.
EDIT: Rebooting didn't do the job.
did you flash over your gginggerbread install or start from scratch?
I'm thinking I flashed over?
I installed the latest version of Amon Ra's recovery, wiped everything, wiped cache then dalvik.
After that I flashed the rom.

Whenever you get stuck on white screen, boot into recovery and wipe dalvik and cache before rebooting. If that doesn't work, reboot into recovery wipe dalvik and cache and reflash rom. This usually works for me.

Do you use Titanium Backup? If so, open app list and look for "Market App Installer 1.0". Click on it and hit defrost. Now open up market. You should now be presented with list of GAPPS you want installed. See if you can click Gmail.

Yes, I used Titanium Backup. Just followed your instructions and nothing still.

Try clearing data in Market menu>settings>applications>manage apps
If this doesn't work, you might have to do a complete wipe and reinstall.

Sh*t didn't work. I just a complete wipe before installing this from ggingerbread-6.
I was thinking maybe I should use Calkulin's format all?

help stuck with Cyanogen Skateboard Screen Over and Over

I was having trouble installing GAPPS in Cyanogenmod 7 stable and I then tried installing an older version. Now I'm stuck with the Cyanogen skateboard screen that then goes to the Google welcome to PC36100-Touch the Android to begin. With and without touching it it goes back to the skateboard screen and continues the rotation. Any help please?
Boot loop, how fun. Wipe and flash.
How do I wipe and flash? I can't get past the above described screens?
Go into recovery, wipe data, cache, dalvik cache reflash the rom, then the gapps. Reboot. If your still getting loops, your either flashing the wrong zips, didnt wipe rigjt, or your data is corrupted. Download it again.
Oops let me add make a nandroid backup cause all your data on the phone will be deleted. Use an app like my backup or titanium back up to save your apps if you want.
Thanks I'll give it a try.
When I flash a new rom I only flash one thing at a time. Ex. Nand backup ... wipe ... flash Rom ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash gapps ... reboot ... wipe cache/dalvik ... flash theme ... etc. I know it takes longer but for me it is worth it because if I get a problem like a boot loop I know which thing is causing it. May not be perfect, may not be right, but works well for me
I always flashed everything at once. Wipe data/cache/dalvik/ flash Cm/gapps then reboot. But yea that's good advice also if there is a problem, I never thought of that.
I haven't had any problems flashing the 7 Stable, but I'm finding it really hard to install the GAPPS. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure you have the most up-to-date Gapps

When you flash CM7 and you wipe data/cache/dalvik do all of your contacts and apps come back?

the contacts and your apps will redownload from the market when you log in to your google account assuming you had the backup checked in the settings.
Ok Great- Thanks for your help.
I did all that, and I still don't have GAPPS. And can't seem to add Google sync.

Hey guys, I'm having this issue with cynogen skateboard screen over and over and I can't seam to stop it at all. I'm going into recovery mode but nothing seams to work. Can someone help please! Is there something I can install via hboot? I'm sort of a noob at this rooting stuff. Please help!

Just flashed CM7 Stable Rom Need help Read!

So i just flashed cm7 the stable version, first thing i do is turn on my wifi, but when it obtains the ip adress etc, it keeps rebooting and turning off rebooting, and just keeps doing that over and over again. any suggestions?? anyone?
Have you tried reflashing it on a clean install? You also flashed gapps with it?
yes, i even wiped alll that thing like dalvik and all that good stuff and flashed gapps right after. this started happening to me with rc3 rc4 and now stable cm7, works fine with cm2
Did you flash a kernel with it?
whats that?
cocoes4o8 said:

Well that's a no then. And the kernel is basically the heart of the phone operation. Different kernels do different things, but we can worry about that later.
Now I'd like you to backup your apps, then re-flash the rom completely, along with gapps.
If it is turning on Wifi only that causes the issue, it may be something with what is remembered in your wifi access points.
Delete your access point. Turn on Wifi and re-attach.
should i wipe dalvik cache also?

Yes; you need to wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache. The flash the rom, wipe cache and dalvik, then flash gapps, then reboot.
just finished doing all that
Any improvement?
WIFI Sleep policy set to NEVER?
thanks!! it works!!! ok i have one more problem, this has been happening to me since i flashed cm7 any cm7, i use email alot but it doesnt give the right time date etc, each and every email date is 12/31/1969

When you flashed, did you flash the gapps?
And facebook app has been giving people problems...I think the word was to go back to 1.52 [the previous version before latest update] and you should be good.
I don't have a facebook, so no help with that app, sorry.

yeah i flashed it right after the rom....but ok no worries no biggie jus tryin to see if it could b fixed...also when i run the car home app n select "navigate" it tells me "no activity found"...whats wrong
You should always do a factory like reset before flashing a rom.
When I went to CM7 I did this.
Ran a Nandroid backup of Stock rom
Ran the GPS Fix for CM7 before going to CM7
Cleared Dalvik cache
Cleared Cache
Cleared Data
Flashed CM7
Flashed GApps
ReBooted
If you used TB to backup everything on your old rom then ONLY install the Apps NOT the data. Also I have noticed that a lot of people are just running a Restore everything from TB that may have something to do with it. I only installed third party apps like barcode scanner, Game Fly, PicSay, Directv. Do not restore anything that was a system app from your other rom.
And so far everything has been great.

[Q] CM10.0.0 d2att / gapps-jb-20121011-signed (Gapps will NOT install)

I have recently installed the new stable version of CM10 that was released today. The rom seems to be working fine but i cannot for the life of me get the gapps to install.
here are the steps I have followed to do a FULL CLEAN wipe.
Phone being used: S3 1747 att / Carrier:Bell
Rom=cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
Gapps=gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
CWM= d2att 6.0.1.4 touch
1- Boot into recovery
2- Wipe cache
3- Under advanced wipe dalvik cache / battery stats
4- Under mounts: format system, data, and cache
5- Flash the ROM's zip file
6- Flash the gapps zip file
7- Reboot
This has always worked for me and i have no idea why the Gapps will not instal. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Ive tried 3 times now. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: forgot to mention, the actual install within Clockwork recovery goes fine but when I boot into the rom and check my apps, the gapps are not present. Sorry for any confusion.
Check to make sure signature verification isn't turned off. If it continues, try twrp recovery (to rule out a recovery issue).
Thanks for the quick reply!
I turned signature checking on in ClockWorkMod, Reflashed gapps, wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions. Still does not work.
I then installed TWRP Recovery (latest version for d2att) Factory reset, Wiped cache, Wiped System, Wiped Dalvik. Installed ROM then Gapps both with signature verification turned on. Still no Gapps. Any ideas?
Also tried going back into TWRP, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and fixed permissions. Still no Gapps.
Where did you dl them from? i would try dl'ing again from a different place.

Will report back soon. Thanks again!
I tried many different links including the ones posted above and this still doesnt work. I also got curious and flashed a few older nightly builds mainly:
cm-10-20121110-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121111-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121112-NIGHTLY-d2att
and gapps does not work on any of them. There has to be something im doing wrong but i cannot for the life of me figure it out. Im not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
EDIT: wait a minute... what apps does the gapps package include by default now?
EDIT2: GOOD LORD. I feel so stupid. I was under the impression that navigation, maps the new camera app was part of the 201210 gapps. I somehow forgot that recently I installed the 4.2 leaked apps which came with all the new goodies. Jesus lol. I also remember that installing the 4.2 apps made me lose the launcher options in cm10 settings which is why I have gotten rid of them. I guess this problem is now solved lol
Haha, well normally GAPPS don't include much. Just playstore, voice search (google now) and some other apps I don't remember. Not many though.

Safest Way to Reinstall Gapps on 14.1?

I am having issues with Gmail, Contacts and Calendar, so I'd like to reinstall Gapps from scratch, but would like to otherwise leave the phone intact.
I want to the stock package, so I downloaded this: open_gapps-arm64-7.1-stock-20180306.zip
So is it just a question of wiping cache, dalvik cache and system? the flashing the above?
I had quite a hard time get LoS on the device, so I don't want to start from ground zero again.

Re installation will only bring you the current status again.
First delete the app data and your Google account from phone.

I deleted my account, rebooted into recovery. Wiped cache, system and Dalvik. When I installed: open_gapps-arm64-7.1-stock-20180306 it told me that: gapps pkg is for 7.1.x download the correct version lineage and was implying that I need something for 6.z.
Is there any downside to installing the older version as a means of getting me back to new?
6.1 gapps are not compatible with 7.0 ROM
