Can't get any of the GAPPS to work. Please help - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone. I am new to this rooting process for a kindle fire and am trying to get the Google Play store working so that I can download new apps. what I have done so far is to load Hashtag's version of Jellybean and then the gapps. when I try to use the play store I keep getting the "server error, retry" grey screen. then what I did was to remove Hashtag's version and load Jandycane's version of Jellybean and I am getting the same error message. I am able to use the GMAIL app with my google log in but after reading one email, the app crashes. if anyone can please point me in the direction to fix this it is greatly appreciated. I have looked all through this forum for a solution but came up empty.

Gapps are intended to be flashed as a zip also make sure you are using the correct ones GB, ICS and jelly bean all use different gapp packages. Avoid using the ones for 4.2 as there can be issues. Do a full wipe reflash rom and gapps this includes a system wipe, gapps for the various systems can be located here http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps#Jelly_Bean_.28Android_4.1.x.29 .

[Q] Having Problems with my Rooted Kindle Fire PLEASE HELP

Okay So I am tired of trying this on my own and failing so heres the deal... I rooted my Kindle Fire a while ago but for some reason something went wrong in the process. I couldn't browse on the internet without getting an annoying error message and the android market wasn't getting installed. So today I tried fixing it.. AGAIn but today I managed to reinstall CM7 and now I can browse the internet with no errors BUT I still can't get the Android market/ Google play store to get installed properly. So everything seems to be working fine but I can't install the market/play store. So can anyone help me? I tried a few guides most were a little out dated.
If anyone can link me to the proper up to date files for installing the google play store app on my Rooted Amazon Kindle Fire ( running CM7) please post here.
Hey. So you need to install the Google Apps (aka Gapps). I couldn't tell if you had outré if you just installed the play store. Either way, I would reflash the Gapps designed to work with cm7. You can access the Gapps from this thread of hashcode's. Just download the right one and flash it with TWRP in recovery or by adb if you're good with that.

thanks but I fixed it, well not really "FIX" but I installed Jelly Bean and everything works great and I like it better than what I was running before so I guess even though I really wanted to run CM7 this was a needed upgrade. Thank you for your help .

[Q] CM 10 Google Play Store refuses to work

Hey guys:
Unlocking and rooting my HTC Wildfire was the second most frustrating experience of my life. However, it's finally over and I flashed CM 10 onto my phone along with 4.1.2 GApps signed (I followed this tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1878031&highlight=unlocked+bootloader+but+s-on).
Everything seemed to go well, except the Google Play Store doesn't work. It keeps giving me the "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" message. I've also noted that Google Services Framework is NOT installed on my phone. I should note that I have 0 apps installed, meaning I do not have a file manager and there is no file manager/explorer that comes stock as far as I'm aware.
I've looked all over the internet and everything tells me to erase the cache because corrupted data seems to be the most common cause of this error message. This is obviously not the case with my phone. What do I need to do to get this thing to work? I've reflashed the GApps and even flashed a different one. I've tried manually downloading and installing Google Services Framework but it won't install. I've tried moving files around on my SD card (the only thing I can access from my computer) and nothing has worked.
I'm just about at my wit's end here guys. Please help me!
PS. I have a clockworkmod back-up from before my phone was rooted saved onto my computer. However it doesn't have my apps in it so I don't think I can get a file manager from it.
**FIXED**
I feel like an idiot, but the reason it wasn't working was because the CM 10 mod I was trying to install failed to install :S I wrote the warning sign off as something else and didn't read the message it sent me I guess.
ANYWAY I found a fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136011 use the SLIMCM-10 ROM instead and that's what fixed if for me (use all the other downloads he has there too, except for the regular CM10 mod). Thanks for the help that I received, and sorry for being a n00b. Love this community BTW, you guys are the best!
This happened to me the first time I flashed icu's marvelc port of paranoid android...I fixed it by wiping everything and just reflashing the whole rom and gapps. Try that. Tell me if it works.

CM11 + Latest GApps, Play Store Crashes

So i am at a bit of a problem here and i cant figure it out.
I have installed both CM11 from 04/24/14, and tried the 4/08/14 Experimental build, both with the latest GApps zip file for CM11 from
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The install seems to go fine, CM11 works, i can get wifi, connect to google account, gmail, internet, hangouts everything works..
Except Play Store...it crashes every time. Ive tried everything i can think of, those things include
Run the installed one from Gapps, it starts and i can see the initial disclaimer i have to accept then it crashes.
Download Google Play store apk and push it via ADB install, doesnt load.
Use GAppManager, the instant i select a version of GApps to install it crashes.
Try flashing an earlier version of GApps(For ICS) from KFFAide, doesnt work..
Go into Apps, find Google Play store that comes from the flashed GApps and clear its cache...
Ive tried flashing just CM11, booting it, then going back into TWRP and flashing GApps
Tried clearing dalvik/system and every other TWRP wipe except internal
Im really out of ideas...any help would be great nothing i do seems to do it...
I also tried flashing back to a version of 10.2 Experimental for KF HD but it just fails immediately when i try.

Try the GAPPS from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 find which ones you want to use and then choose goo as the download place. Then get a slightly older Gapps. I'm using a set from 1-23-2014 and have had zero issues. They will update anyway so having today's 0 day Gapps is not a huge deal. If you want mini Gapps, here is the link http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-mini/older versions

I've been using the latest GApps ("stock" experience) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and it works great. It will error out some apps the first time with a notification that you must update Google Play Services to continue. Sign in and update Google Play Services through the store and everything works like a champ.
A bonus of using the PA GApps package (if you want all those apps at all) is that they install to /system and don't use up as much /data space. Maybe not an issue for many, but every little bit helps right?
Keep in mind that the "stock" (i.e. Nexus-esque) package will remove the AOSP Browser, Messaging, and Keyboard. As long as you're good with Chrome, Hangouts, and Google Keyboard, this (again) saves you storage. If you prefer the AOSP apps, read the thread for how to keep them or install one of the other packages from the thread.
It turns out the issue is unrelated to Google apps, ANY application i use and try to download with will crash.
Try to grab an attachment from Gmail, crash
Try to download a file via Chrome, crash
Try to download via Play store, crash
I have no idea what the hell is causing this ive checked my Download and Downloader apps they are both running, ive tried restarting them, disabling them, and many other things...
At this point how do i return my Kindle to a "Stock" Kindle Fire HD as if i bought it from the store?
I may need to return it, im wondering if this is a hardware issue? Doesnt make sense though because everything else seems to work, i can go view internet stuff so the wifi isnt bad, and i can copy files to it via USB so the storage isnt bad...

Try flashing a slightly older KitKat Gapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579123 If you want to go stock then use the system restore tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2011126 Use the stock USB cord.

[Q] CM11 - "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"

[Q] CM11 - "Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID"
Okay... sd_shadow, I promise this will be the last edit and I'll find a way to use up those other posts!
After the hooplah that was yesterday, managed to get CM11 (06/14 Nightly build) and GApps (gapps-444-base-20150617-1-signed) on my Kindle Fire. It WORKS. Until I go to install an app, specifically Google Calendar. Then I get this error during installation:
Incompatible with other applications(s) using the same shared user ID

I installed Slack on the device, so now I KNOW it has something to do with the existing calendar app on the device. Any way around this? Is there a ROM for Google Calendar I could install to replace the stock calendar app?
I don't know, but you're not helping yourself by starting a new thread , every time you have a new problem.
Please change the thread title then post your new problem.
So I managed to get it working by installing Calendar from an APK and decided that's probably the best way to go from now on if I have any issues like this again. So everything works! But now I'm finding that I installed the wrong GApps... I installed the full version when I should have done the minimal version. How can I go about installing that without breaking everything again?
EDIT: Installed Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 4.4.x and now gapps is constantly crashing. Calendar will still open, YouTube crashes.

I tried this and it was still crashing. I ended up doing a clean install of CM11 and the minified GApps they provide a link to, and I install my apps via APKs now... I've had no issues with the device since! It's so great to have a full functioning tablet in this lil' guy!

Help me with google apps

Hi everyone
I have got a Samsung Tab Pro 10.1 (SM-T520) and it unfortunately stopped updating due to it been so old and was left behind on android KitKat 4.4.
So I decided to root it and download the lineage update to get android 7.1.2 custom ROM on it and give it a bit of life instead of never been used because it's slow and blotchy.
When I download the ROM everything worked really well, moment installed Gapps it when pear shaped. I was met with "android is starting" message stopping me from do anything but go on settings through notifications bar and it made my keyboard disappear.
So I just flashed the lineage ROM back to standard without Gapps. I have tried most of the Gapps packages that they make and I get the same thing every time with the missing keyboard.
My real question is can build a set of google apps through apk. I have tried installing google play, google play services and google play frame something (can't remember the last one) all of them either don't work or crash and just not stop being up a message saying each one of them isn't working.....what apps do need to install or flash to build up my own set of google apps without using Gapps
(Just some notes at the end to help, I rooted using root genius, my custom boot is TWRP, I installed TWRP via odin and lineage seems to be the only ROM that does a android 7 for my device, the apps I want working are google play store, google app, google maps, google assistant (if possible), gmail and maybe calender. The rest of them are on my non rooted s7e so don't need them on the tablet.)
Hope someone can help
hello

or there " https://www.apkmirror.com/ "

regards
Thanks.
In the end I just picked and tried flashing different Gapps packages, when a package I tried wouldn't work I just flashed installed the original lineage 14.1 ROM, to wipe the Gapps package....after trying about 4 different packages from Gapps I think the micro package worked.
Just can't get android assistant to work now, do anyone have any ideas???
hello
