Flashing Google apps on top of old Google maps. - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I tried flashing the newest version of gapps (4.1.2) on top of old gapps (4.1.1) but it doesn't seem to stick. I tried to swipe away individual messages in Gmail but got nothing. I'm running the latest cm10 nightly
Is it possible to get the new Google apps (4.1.2) on cm10? I'll do a clean flash if it's actually possible

I've only ever tried to install gapps on a fresh flash, not sure about flashing over top of an existing install although unless the .apk is named differently it SHOULD overwrite the existing. You can always try deleting the gmail .apk from /system/app and reflashing.

I tried a clean flash and it didn't seem to work. Restored to previous.
Can you confirm you can swipe messages in Gmail?

Thats affirmative. Have you tried clearing the data and cache from the settings>app menu?

Try clearing cache and delvik cache than installing the new gapps. After it is installed clear cache and delvik cache again and reboot. This is the process I use when I'm not doing a full wipe.

CM7 App help, please.

I recently flashed cm7, works great. The only thing I'm having trouble is with the apps. I can't download the apps I had previously from the market because It says I have them installed already.
So how do I fix this/restore my apps?
thanks
Try and clear data for the market app and see if that works for you.
Erm, how exactly?
If you go into settings and then applications. Find market under all and click clear data.
Part of my problem is that I don't have the market app installed
Did you flash a Gapps package when you flashed your ROM? That will give you Market and other basic Google apps. I believe CM is packaged without an integrated Gapps loadout for legal reasons.

No I didn't flash Gapps, I just installed market via apk, cleared the data but I can't use the market cause I cannot set up a profile that its asking for.
How would I go about this Gapps package?
There was no data to clear anyways.
About to try this
wipe data+cache
flash cm7
wipe data+cache
flash gapps
If you wiped system, cache, and dalvik cache before you installed CM7, you shouldn't even need to wipe. You'll just reboot into recovery and flash the Gapps .zip just like you flashed your ROM.
As far as finding it, I'd just Google "cm7 Google apps" or "cm7 gapps", you'll find a download link for the .zip. Keep in mind that, unlike the ROM itself, the Gapps package isn't specific to one model phone.

Which cm7 version are you using?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
In that case you might want to start from scratch:
Boot into recovery -- nandroid backup -- factory reset -- wipe dalvik cache -- install cm7 -- flash gapps.
And yeah, check to make sure you're using a current stable cm7 build.

What version of CM7 did you flash?
depending on the version of cm7, i would flash one of aero's kernals
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7717-kernel-aeroevan-vivow-kernels-for-aosp/
v8 needs to be for 7.2 otherwise, flash .7 version.
7.2 + Aero kernel .8 is an amazing combination. Do that!

[Q] IC Senseless V1.0

Long time reader, not into posting, so my post count is low.
I have a issue. I flashed IceCream Senseless V1.0 yesterday. My market is not working. I keep getting the force close with the following.
"The application Google Play Store ( Processcom.android.vending) has stopped unexpexpectdly. Please try again."
I was able to download Titanium Back Up from the Market right after the flash. This morning I had notices for updates to apps, I clicked to open them, and thats when the FC startted. I was not able to download the updates.
This is my favorite rom so far. Any thoughts on a fix?
What GApps are you using? I had that problem when using evervolv so I just downloaded the newest GApps and did a full wipe plus a fresh install.

Right now I have only used Gmail. I uninstalled T.B. and restarted the phone with no luck.

Have you tried clearing data for the Play Store? If so, you may just have to reflash the rom either without wiping or doing a full wipe and flash.

If I'm not mistaken, the rom is based on Sense and Gingerbread so there are no GApps to flash. It's all included, just themed for ICS.

Thanks. I went into apps management and wiped the playstore cache. Then reboot the phone and all is well.

Custom Rom - Google Apps Gone

I flashed the PA rom (from stock Android) and the gapps package and it was fine. However, after I restarted, my gapps are all gone (icons are still there, but when I click them, it immediately closes) and the option to log into a Google account in Settings is also gone. I tried reflashing the gapps package but it didn't work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Even wiping cache/dalvik?

Do a full wipe then reinstall everything ... That helps in 99 % cases ..

Accident

I accidentally deleted the download file on my phone from titanium backup now i cant go on android market plus also whenn i start up my phone i get something like a gapp error
Deleting the download folder shouldn't effect the ability to open/use the play store.
The only thing I could think of that should fix the issue, is to do a full wipe and eflash the ROM (and gapps if required for the ROM you are using).

Or try to just reflash gapps first.

I think he deleted the download apk which is an essential system component. If reflashing gapp doesn't work, I would suggest reflashing the ROM.

Reflash the rom wothout wiping, then flash gapps. It won't delete anything of yours

i have stockorama...I'm sorry I'm new to this so I would have to go into the zip and find the gapp folder then flash it???
The ROM and gapps are two separate zips. Flash the ROM first,then gapps package.

There are no gapps zip for touchwiz ROMs, the apps are already included in the ROM.
Do a full wipe and reflash the ROM.
You could just wipe cache and dalvik cache, but I would recommend just doing a full wipe and starting over to avoid further issues.

+1 didn't think about it being a two ROM. Been on aosp for so long. Lil. Yeah always nice to start fresh and clean, especially after something goes awry.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
none of that worked =( luckily i had a backup of my phone before stockorama but now when n i try to readd stockorama doesnt work or if i do get it to work google play store doesnt work =(
also it just reboots into recovery each time but also during the installer it doesnt download any google apps
Touchwiz comes with the playstore and other samsung apps. You flash gapps when you are using an aosp based rom like jellybean. If reflashing the Stockoroma rom does not help my only suggestion is to download stock rom and firmware and then from there reflash the Stockorama rom. I'm pretty sure there is an easier solution to this but that is what I would try.

Not Now, Google Play "App isn't installed."

Had not now working great on my first install. Hated the camera that was described as fast, decided to give the special install script a run for it's money and did a dirty flash while backing up apps, data, etc.
Tried out the Cyanogen Camera and it is much faster and more feature rich than the ones described as such but now google play isn't installed. When I used some of my old apps I got from google play they continually pop up with play services is missing.
I installed gapps from recovery after getting sick of this and it is still not installed for some reason.
Any suggestions besides a full wipe? I am confident a full wipe will fix it but I was hoping I was missing something in the install.
I'm a little confused.... Are you still on Not Now ROM?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
Yeah, I am on Not Now. I did a dirty flash over my previous clean Not Now install and now google play is missing, even if I install gapps in recovery it says it is not installed.
Have you tried manually side-loading the apk? You can easily find it using Google

Eh, all the sites I have been finding look sketchy as hell alongside not knowing which version I need.
I will just do a full wipe and if that doesn't fix it then the xblast or xposed are whats doing it.
Download any version and it should update to the latest by itself. I don't think xposed would affect it... I've run xposed and a million modules on different builds of gb27 and never had that happen.
I would just back everything up, sync and new contacts, and do a fresh install, performing a factory reset and flashing tdunham's JB Format All x2 zip before flashing the ROM. There can be issues with /Preload if it isn't being wiped
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I ended up doing a fresh install, it has a complete wipe and I did that on top of the format all x2 which is actually included in the installer.
Really was hoping it was a setting in the installer that I messed up but it doesn't seem to have been, dirty flash was the issue.
