I have a ATT Note 2. I flashed a new Rom on it and some of my core apps didn't work. Message was a "app not installed". So then I tried another ROM and the I got several failures like goodle play, google mail, goodle sound and talk. Sometimes my texting would stop working. I tried to go to the cloud but continued to get network not working for that and maps also. I flashed a 3rd ROM and the same things I am currently on the NOTRtoriusrom now. I tried to reinstall the gapps zip file. No change. I do have some function of my phone. Different things stop work at various times. I cant download any apps or my back-up cause I cant get into play store. I would very much appreciate any help that anyone can give me.
Thanks Billy

I would suggest using one of the newer ROMs, such as the international port available for our devices. It runs super smooth and even has a nice AOSP theme to go with it.
Also make sure that you are performing full wipes between ROMs, as some of the symptoms you have described are that of an unclean flash when switching ROMs. Losing user data sucks, but comes with the territory of being apart of the moding community.
there is no " NOTRtoriusrom" for this phone; you probably flashed something not for this phone, and thats why you are having problems...
Yes there is

sounds like you are just dirty flashing everything.
my suggestion is have the most up to date CWM or TWRP recovery and make sure you factory reset and wipe everything before flashing a rom.
I would suggest flashing one of the TW roms like Novella, Jedi, and Cleanrom cuz its just one zip and you should be good to go after that.

This seems kinda dumb because everytime I flashed a new ROM before, I actually couldn't avoid the process. However now I can't get it at all.
So as we know, when you flash a new rom after wiping data or whatever, go through setup and whatnot, your phone then starts downloading the massive amounts of apps you had previously had installed. Lots of people hate it and want to avoid it, however I flash new stuff a lot and wipe data a lot. Ever since I got my GNexus, I can't get it to auto download the plethra of previously installed apps. It sucks, going through and downloading 50 different apps manually everytime I want to wipe data.
Any suggestions why it isn't detecting a new setup or whatever?

I think it depends on the rom you are using. I didn't have it with Manhattans rom for example but everytime I wipe and install the AOKP rom which I use all the time it works fine.
I think it has something to do with whether or not the dev of the rom has included Google auto restore process. I could be wrong though. What I used to do was use app manager to back up or titanium beforehand although I do think the auto restore is a lot easier.

From what you say, maybe more the GApps package I'm installing? I would think that would be part of it. Its just weird. Does this on both CM9 Kang and GummyNex, granted both use same gapps package (kejar31)
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
A possible work around would be to use TiBU and select just the apps you want back, +/- their data.
(auto restore works on bigxsie's rom but I stop it and use TiBU because it's faster out here in rural Aus)
Hello,
I'm having a problem where my touch screen is no longer recognizing where I touch. I have been in the process in rooting my kindle, flashing the CM10 jelly bean ROM with SGT7 enhancements, and trying to install access to the Google Play. I did a backup before I rooted the kindle, but I haven't done any additional backups along the way.
Everything seemed to be fine until I started trying to install access to Google Play. I did not have it by default with the ROM so I went looking for it. I read the forums and tried a few things that other people had done but had no success (the google framework would not install) until I tried a procedure I found on youtube that someone else had had success with. After I installed it, I had two new icons "Market" and "Market Opener". When I selected either one of them, I was prompted to create an goodle account for my device, but the request always returned with an error saying the connection could not access the google server. So, I began looking around in all my settings to see if I could find a setting that might affect the success for failure of trying to do this, and I started having a lot of trouble with the touchpad responsiveness as I tried to navigate around the menus. It was very frustrating. So, since I had not done a back up before installing the market apps, I tried to uninstall it. But, the touch screen was just not cooperating. So, I went a step further and rebooted to recovery to see if I could uninstall the apps from there. But again, the touchpad was still not cooperating. It was very inconsistent and would respond to very few touches. So finally, I decided the heck with it and want to restore my backup to the stock kindle and start all over again. However, the touch screen won't recognize the swipe to confirm restoring the backup. So now I am hosed and I don't know what to do.
Is there any way to restore a backup through my PC using adb?
Here's what I think I have installed:
fff-u-boot_v1.4a.zip
KFU v0.9.6
openrecovery-twrp-2.2.0-blaze.img
cm-10-20120817-2143-SNAPSHOT-otter-sgt7-linaro.zip
ROOTexplorer.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
KindleFireAndroidMarket.zip
MarketOpener.apk
I'm pretty new at this, so any hand-holding you can offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Valerie
P.S. It's also very puzzling to me why it seems to hard to find the right stuff to install in order to get access to Google Play. Any idea why it is so hard? I'd just like to understand. Thanks.

Wow, no one has responded to my post. This must be a problem no one has seen before. Leave it to me to find new ways to screw up!
Well, I've made a little progress getting my system back to a usable state. I was able to set the system back to factory defaults. Of course I lost all of my customized settings, but at this I don't really care. The touch screen works much better now. If I had to guess (but I could be wrong) I would say that my touch screen troubles were due to having played with the wallpaper settings (and maybe combined with placing widgets on the home screen). There might be something screwy going on there, but I don't know for sure, and I don't want to go back and attempt to recreate the problem right now.
Now, I still have the problem of not being able to connect to the market. I also have read other people's posts where they refer to the "google play" app. I have not seen a google play app. All I have is a "market" app. Where do I get the google play app?

You need to flash a gapps archive appropriate for the ROM you have flashed on your system. Those other packages you have installed are for getting google play to work on the stock system. For a custom ROM, you just need to install gapps.
http://goo.im/gapps
Again, make sure you match the right gapps package for the system you are running. CM10 is JB, CM9 is ICS, etc. I'm not sure how the play/market packages you've already installed would affect the ROM. Just to be safe, I would just go back to TWRP, use factory reset to get back to a clean slate, reflash the ROM and then the gapps package. Then a reboot will take you straight into google's configuration wizard. Register your google account and you'll find google play ready for use among the installed applications.
Thank you!

Thank you very much kinfauns, I am now up and running. Your help is very much appreciated!
I loaded the ROM in this thread and am having a couple of issues...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2481234
I am not new to ROMs but this is the first time I have spent any real time with anything other than a stock flash or a CM stable or nightly. I will list my issues below but am not sure if I should just pursue a different ROM for my needs or if I should spend more time troubleshooting it.
1) I get a google apps error when I first boot my phone. "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
2) google hangout sends but does not receive
3) instagram will not load my feed. I can install and login but get no content.
All I have really done is remove and reinstall apps. I did have to load the modem from the link the dev supplied to get data to work but it has been OK since. I was thinking about reinstalling the google apps package but didnt want to spend a bunch of time on it. I haven't seen huge performance differences really. I was jsut trying to save the time of going in and manually stripping out some of the sprint crap I don't use. I really only had two objectives with htis flash. First to avoid the Knox update and second, to make my life easier than going back through with a system cleanup app. I also secretly like the Sprint touchwiz interface but that is just a comfort thing really.
So what do you guys think? keep plugging at this or go to a less stripped ROM?
Hey, I'm sorry you are having issues. I don't think you should flash a gapps package. Did you completely wipe the phone before installing Barebones? I have another version you can try if you'd like. Try flashing version 1.0 and see if it works better.
Pretty sure I did. Its part of my usual routine to wipe it all before flashing anything. I did remember that I added an ad blocker app. When I removed that instagram and hangouts started working again. Now I just get the error at startup. Going to use the phone as is for a day before I decide to do anything else. Thanks for the help.
Let me know how it's working, I removed quite a bit so maybe I need to redo it. I don't think anyone had issues with v1.0 though. Thanks for the feedback
I got the phone as a gift from my uncle in China, it's working fine except I need google apps. From what I've read here and elsewhere I can download the correct version of GApps for my version of android and simply flash it by saving it going into the SD card and entering recovery mode.
I have some questions:
Is there a specific GApps file for the Desire 816 or can I just use any one such as from team android for 4.4 KitKat?
Will this procedure void warranty and how risky is it?
Should I do a back up of the stock OS? Nandroid requires root access and I don't want to root the phone unnecessarily. Also the methods for system back up without root such as holo backup seem unreliable for some devices. Has anyone done a back up for the Desire 816 with holo/Ultimate Backup Tool?

If you want to install the Gaaps, you should have clockworkmod recovery for sure, which requires unlocking your bootloader and rooting. Once you do that you will loose warranty. But do you really think that you ever claim for warranty ? I have used 11 smart phones so far and never went back to the vendor for any issues. I completely relied on XDA forum and never got disheartened. Anyways, thats your choice, whether to live without google apps in your smartphone until your warranty period expires and live like a king by rooting and installing the gapps? If you choose the later option, then start with unlocking the bootloader, followed by rooting, followed by custom recovery installation and then gaaps zip installation.
Btw, use the gapps from the following link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=10238 rather than the one you found that are for cyanogenmod roms.

Thanks for the advice. I wound up rooting the phone with Clockwork Recovery Mod. I've tried flashing the gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip file that you linked, the flashing completes successfully and the phone boots. However as soon as I try to go past the lock screen the error message "Setup wizard has stopped working" is repeated on loop. I did a system restore, tried a package from here to the same effect. I saw a post where someone had a similar issue and did something along the lines of wiping user data and dalvik however for the life of me I can't find it again.
EDIT******
Nevermind, I did a full system restore, wiped Dalvik, Cache, User Data then flashed the modular gapps package I got from the second link I mentioned. I then wiped everything again and started the phone. Went through initial set up and now everything seems fine. Will update if google apps starts playing up.
EDIT # 2
Play store doesn't work properly Will try again in the morning using the package you suggested.

Sorry to note the hiccups you are facing dude. I should have told you about setupwizard thingy, which I learnt about it ages ago. My sincere apologies. Flashing gapps on chinese roms will corrupt the existing setup wizard. So the work around for this is to, backup that system apk, using titanium backup or any other popular ones and then reinstall it once the gapps are installed. But now that you confirmed it working, I am now bit relaxed. But yeah so sorry for that.
Re your play store apk, Google has updated his play store apk recently. Try the new version apk from http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...issions-bigger-buttons-and-more-apk-download/ and then go to Apps, playstore and delete data and cache. Wipe dalvik cache (optional) from the recovery and then try if it works. I am sure it should work without having to delete all this caches and data, but yours being chinese version mobile and had troubles before with it, try those tricks.
All the best.

Thanks again, I followed your advice and my apps now seem to be working ok. I think play store is a little unstable still, I occasionally get errors attempting to download apps (Error 904 I think) but those go away if I just restart the download. I had Facebook messenger force close once but that was when it was going through its tutorial mode. It's now also working fine.
Unfortunately this process seems to break the FM Radio app which is a minor blow, attempting to back up and restore with Titanium Backup gives the message "App was not installed". Same applies when restoring setup. I'm not sure if having a corrupt set up wizard will create problems for me in the future.
The only thing I can think of which would cause the problems restoring system apps is that I didn't apply the wp_mod.ko which is recommended as part of this root procedure. That's meant to allow me to write to the system. The instructions for doing so weren't particularly clear and everything else seemed to be working at the time so I skipped it (I know, probably not the best idea).
Any advice would be appreciated, however right now I'm pretty happy with the rest of my phone working with google apps! I'm also investigating whether spiritFM will work as an alternative to the stock radio app.

Thanks for updating us with your issues. I think by your description, i can see that it could be cache's problem. What I usually do is, when you install any rom via backup, I try to do factory reset twice from the systems setting and security. This will eliminate all the cache issues that you are facing with google play and fmradio. If you cannot restore the factory settings for any reason, I would then try going to settings --> Apps --> find google play app - -> delete the data and clear cache. This will make you to re enter your google account again. Hopefully, your google play should work fine. Apply the same trick to your fmradio too and see if it makes any difference ?
Hit thanks if it works, so that others would learn from your experience and know that this trick worked.

Unfortunately it didn't fix the radio. Play store was working though.
I posted something similar in the general questions subforum but of course there was no response.
I'm on stock rooted 4.3. If it matters, I ALWAYS get a message about gapps crashing.
Basically, I'm sick of ****Wiz and its continuous bulkiness and slowness. Tried a few ROMs, settled on PacMan. Trouble is there just seems to be NO way to restore my apps.
Titanium is no good because it breaks push notifications for any app that uses them - unacceptable.
The Play Store just refuses to act right. At first it wouldn't restore anything at all, then on one of my million flashes, I started restoring from Titanium one-by-one, then got even MORE frustrated and stopped. Now that list of about six apps is what the Play Store tries to "restore".
I've flashed and Nandroided back so many times because of this. And no matter HOW many times I manually sync, or how long I leave my phone on Wi-Fi to do it itself, when I flash it's those same six apps restoring.
Today I thought to make an update.zip in Titanium before flashing. Flashed the ROM, then Gapps. Tried the update.zip and it wouldn't work. Booted, then tried it. It worked, but didn't "reboot in 5 seconds"... had to battery pull after 10 minutes. Then the apps didn't have data. Titanium restored them and recommended a reboot. When I did that, the menu button no longer worked. At all.
I'm really ****ing sick of this. What am I supposed to do? If I have to stay on TouchWiz I'm getting rid of this phone. It's counterproductive at this point.
Are the custom ROMs based on the stock Samsung kernel? If not, that may be why your apps are crashing after being restored.

Well, they're not crashing. When I restore them with Titanium, everything works fine about them except push notifications and that just can't happen.
And the ROM I've chosen for now is PacMan. I don't think it is?
