You need to flash gapps for ics. Not gapps for GB. It should be listed on the OP.

Ok, just so I'm understanding this correctly, when flashing gapps, Its flashed just like you flash the rom, but you do so first then you flash the rom. I just go into rooting phones and so I'm new to all this.

1. Wipe the phone (especially if coming from GB). Wipe data/factory reset in Recovery.
2. Flash the ROM
3. Also in Recovery, Flash the Gapps for ICS just like the rom (they are in the Mimicry thread).
If you want Swype, go to beta.swype.com and sign up for the beta. They will email you a link to download and install Swype.
Very helpful thank you.

Did you clean flash this? If not you have to do a full wipe of your device before installing.
Also, make sure its for the right device...

Never mind. Clean install. I don't know then.

I would do a fresh download and try doing a clean flash with the new download. Make sure you do a factory reset and wipe system and caches.
sounds like a bad download to me.. download the rom again, and re-flash rom
i had this problem too!
but i install a launcher and use it very good!
i send launcher apk file to the device via bluetooth and install it and my problem is solved! but when i switch the system's launcher the problem is laughed to me!!!
i did clean and fresh install 3 times! but all of things i reached was my memory card simulated to/0/0/0/etc.!! and the problem was ......!
Sorry for the noob question. I searched but i couldn't find the answer I'm looking for. Here's the deal...i have had alot of rooted phones but i just rooted my own phone for the first time,obviously the GNex. I used the toolkit i found on here and it went great. I am using TWRP recovery cause it was recommended by AOKP and when i flashed there new Jb ROM i noticed how twrp is set up a lot different then CWM. I found out that i had to factory wipe before flashing. So getting to my question. When i flash the update do i do that same wipe or do i wipe cache,davlik and/or system? Also i gotta do a back up first right? Then with gapps is it the same steps as flashing the update? If someone can show me the way that would be great. Thanks.

1. Backup current ROM
2. Wipe
3. Flash new ROM
4. Flash GAPPs (if required)
5. Reboot
Well, for updating purpose you've only to wipe cache and dalvik (but i think it's not mandatory for all the rom) then you straight flash the rom and gapps (everytime both) then you reboot and you're good to go! And backup is always welcome!

If you're staying on the same rom with just an update you probably don't have to wipe unless you have issues upon reboot but otherwise you probably always should.
so i got an update notification from goo saying my rom and gapps have an update (aokp jb 4.2 mr1 build 2) so i flashed em and i got my stock reboot screen then every google app foreclosing over and over but rom still there. what the hell????
This is for sprint ain't it?!!?

well what happened here then? i looked on aokp and its not there. its the one i have now build 1. im really confused. the new gapps update is 20120429. it must be wrong if everything google was foreclosing. so what did goo.im give me?
ok it is build 2 on aokp. so gapps must be the same one i have been using? because this new one everything was foreclosing.
Better off doing updates manually and not using an app to do it for you

From the date I think you flashed a gapps for jb 4.1 on a 4.2 ROM. Pretty sure that the 4.2 gapps is dated 12/12/12.

ya thats what im about to do now.
i went and downloaded build 2 straight from aokp and flashed that with same gapps for build 1 cause that hasnt changed on there site. my boot animation is the stock nexus logo instead of that pink unicorn with the gears. i figured it still wasnt working but everything seems to be running normal.....actually really fricken smooth and snappier. thanks for all your input everybody!
Ok guys, these are modded versions of TDJ's tools to add the preload partition. This should allow you to wipe cache and dalvik without jacking up the symlinks. Also for you guys having issues installing a ROM, the superwipe should fix that. First flash the ROM and reboot (important), then if you are having issues flash the super wipe and then the ROM again. Reboot and you should be good.
Thanks again TDJ!!! You rock bro.

thx for this, i was annoyed by the preload problem.
Is this for CWM recovery or TWRP as well?

Will work for both.
Thanks Jamison this will solve alot of headaches!
So whenever we want to wipe cache/dalvik use zip file instead of built in twrp??

If on a TMo based 4.1.2 ROM, yes.
Whats the difference between the two downloads?

One is cache/dalvik, superwipe is data/factory reset.
Well before using the scripts ROM would not boot but after super wipe no problems, TWRP 2.5.0.0 :thumbup:

I used these scripts installing a ROM and I am having very serious issues. I was using Clockwork and when I rebooted I got stuck in a boot loop. I booted back into recovery but I was not getting fully back into recovery. I tried several times. I finally ODINed back to stock but I can't get the ****ing phone to boot up. It gets toa popup that says ""unfortunatley google partner setup has stopped" and then if I clear that "Google account manager has stopped", "google calender storage has stopped""unfortuantely the process com. android.phone has stopped". ****. I have tried ODIN to 3.5 stock and 4.0.3 both having similar issues.
Anyone have any idea, may have absolutley nothing to do with these scripts but any ideas would be very much appreciated.
What are you running and what are you trying to flash? Wouldn't be the scripts as they only wipe, format, align the partitions.

I was running CWM 6.0.2.9 touch and trying to flash the StockWalk ROM. I don't know if you have seen something like this before but it seems like I am totally unable to install any GAPPS even when flashing stock ROM in ODIN. I had flashed the same ROM before attempting to use the scripts, the reason was that I was unable to add my google account (may be a defect in the ROM but others are saying they have not had issue).
*when I say install GAPPS I am just refering to the ones that install on TW ROMS, I am not flashing a GAPPS file of any kind

OK so I thought I knew enough to not feel like a noob, but here I am with three questions.
First question is what is a "preload problem"?
Second question is this will only work on 4.1.2, and not 4.2.2 (CM 10.1)?
And the third question is will using the original DS wipes mess something up?
T mobiles 4.1.2 loads a preboot partition. Wiping cache with anything but these scripts also wipes these partitions. This script is modified to not do that. No preboot partition = boot loop.
Thus, if you're on anything BUT Tmobiles 4.1.2 you don't need this script and there's no advantage to using it.

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.

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.
