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.
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.

as mhrsolanki2020 said ... When flashing rom, always boot it, and after reboot flash any changes that you want, like data/link2sd,gapps,gps fixes and so on ...
never flash few things in one step.
also clean cache and dalvik every time you flash new rom ..
I don't think he wiped data or cache.
You can flash cm7 and gapps at the same time with no issues.
I prefer doing it like this rather than multiple restarts and then I setup my accounts on first boot its never given me any problems.
Try again make sure in clockwork mod recovery you:
wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps
Restart and all should be fine.
Good luck.
so are those the steps i need?
and can u give me a link of the gapps i am supposed to use please?

here you go mate ht tp://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
can you give me the steps i need to fix the black screen please?
Boot into recovery clockwork mod and do what I said above and you'll be fine.
so once i flash cyanogen i do not reboot first, but i directly flash the gapps as well?
Yes that's how I been doin it for many months
Make sure to wipe the data that I said in previous post or it wont boot.
Its an important step when flashing a rom.
Like the problems that previously occurred.
sorry for so many questions but,
is it either wipe data or factory reset or both?
"wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
Then goto advance and wipe dalvik
Then flash cm7
Then flash gapps"
'Data/factory reset' is the same thing
Then 'wipe cache partition'
Then in advance right at the bottom of clockwork mod 'wipe dalvik'
Once done click back then chose install zip from SD
Choose your rom file then confirm.
Then when finished click back.
Then install zip from SD select gapps file and confirm.
Once finished click reboot system.
Done.
will this work for sure? or will it give me the black screen again?
If you do everything I said in the same order it should definitely work my friend.
Is your mobile a GSM or cdma? Does it use a sim card?
Thank you so very much!!!!
No problem.
I'm guessing your up and running And hopefully very happy.
Good luck and all the best.
You're a life saver!!!
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.
Phone: Samsung-SGH-I747
Carrier: AT&T
Andriod Version: 4.1.2
CM: 10-20121206-NIGHTLY-d2att
CWM: recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.2-d2att
I am unable to find a compatible Gapps that works with this ROM, anytime I flash Gapps I get the
Unfortunately Android Keyboard (AOSP) Stopped
As well as "Connection Error "Retry" when trying to access Google Play.
I've tried wiping the cache within the AOSP Keyboard settings as well, but this seems to be a Gapps error as the Play store stops working.
I have tried gapps-jb-20121011-signed and gapps-jb-20121130-signed.
This is the method of install I have been doing:
1) Wipe data/factory reset
2) Wipe Cache Partition
3) Advanced -->Wipe Davlik Cache
4) Install 10-20121206-NIGHTLY-d2att
5) Install gapps-jb-20121011-signed
6) Reboot
Am I doing this right? Should I wipe cache/partition/davlik cache before gapps install? Whats going on here?
Is there a proper flashing process to make these work? Or is there is comparable stable ROM that has Gapps included and works (JB ONLY)?
I re-rooted my phone and did a clean install with I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT then root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3 then ROManger CWM download to get where I'm at.
My whole reason to rooting was for Google Now, I've always liked CM's work but am willing to try something else if there are any other suggestions??
Please help, I feel like I've spent WAY too much time on something that seems so simple.
You're doing this right. I don't know what could be wrong.
As a last measure, try format instead of wipe. Format boot, system, data and cache, and flash CM and gapps 20121011 again.
Good luck!
