Hi, I've looked around quite a lot and I can't seem to find a thread that answers my question or even one that has the same issue.
Basically, I want to install the PACman rom with JB 4.2.2. I can get that working pretty well by itself, but the issue comes in when I try to install gapps. I've tried several different versions of gapps and every time, the second the phone boots up it says gapps has crashed. And it continues to pop up. The Play store crashes as soon as it opens, Gmail crashes. the Browser doesn't crash, except on download. And with certain versions of gapps, the Android Keyboard will not run (it crashes before it even opens every single time).
I've found other threads that talk about similar issues with the Galaxy S3 that tell me to go into Settings>Apps>All and enable Download Manager. I can't find that anywhere (which might be the real root of the issue I suppose). I see lots of other activities, all of which are enabled, but no Download Manager or even anything that really sounds like it could be a renamed Download Manager. I've hit the "Restore App Preferences" button too. No good.
I've deleted everything, wiped all possible caches, and repeated the process about 15 times. I've used different orders of doing things (that I find on different forum posts), and different versions of both gapps and PACman. I don't want to go below v20, I don't think, v20.1 doesn't work because WIFI doesn't work (known bug) and I can't find anything higher than that even though I believe v22 is the latest.
I have installed custom roms before. I'm currently using AOKP 4.1.2 and everything works fine with that.
Any help fixing this issue or any alternative suggestion that gives me jb 4.2 would be GREATLY appreciated. I am going for a daily driver rom, not something experimental and (overly) buggy.
THANKS!

I tried that yes. Though all the PACman stuff says to use 4.1 and it'll work fine. I tried both. Though 4.1 seemed to work "better" than 4.2. As in the keyboard worked.
I think I fixed it
Pretty sure I fixed it. The issue seems to have been that PACman didn't come with DownloadManager.apk ..... Not sure why or if I just happened to download from a bad source, but in any case, that would certainly prevent gapps from downloading things.
So I edited the rom, added DownloadManager.apk from another rom I have on my computer and flashed that with the 4.2.2 gapps. Seems to work great so far!!!!

Hi everyone! I'm new here
My epic is driving me insane. I've been battling CM10 issues for a few days now.
I'm on Cm10 (the latest stable version) with gapps for 4.2.1. I have cwm 6 installed as well.
Here's my issues and what I've done.
The first issue was that my sd card was randomly unmounting and refusing to mount and apollo started displaying song titles incorrectly when I would go into a playlist. I wiped data and cache in CMW and reinstalled cm10 with gapps.
After the fresh install, I was getting random reboots. It would sit there and then restart it's self to the point where it wouldn't even boot. So I odin it back to stock FC09 and then installed cwm, redownloaded cm10 and gapps, and installed them.
On the first start up, it didn't even go to the setup screen like it normally does. So i set it up like normal through the systems menu. But when I got to setting up my corporate email, it would give me an error "exchange service unexpectedly stopped." I fixed that by reinstalling exchange2.apk and email.apk. But then, I noticed that the "clear all notification" button in the notification drawer was missing and would only show up if "PM/AM" fuction was disabled for the clock. and it only showed up in landscape mode.
So I odin back to stock, installed cwm, downloaded cm10 with gapps, and installed them both. Again, on first boot, no setup screen. This time, the aosp key board app kept crashing. I cleared the data for that app but it kept crashing. home button and search button does noting. In an attempt to fix it, I odin back to stock fc09 and installed cm10 with gapps. Still the same issue, keyboard crashing, homebutton and search button not responding (they blink though so I know it works).
I'm at my wits end and ready to live with stock for the rest of my life. But I can't. I need to stay with cyanogenmod because that's how I can get picture messaging to work because my epic is on a different carrier. When I'm in stock, everything works all fine and dandy. It seems like everytime I use a new download file of the stable cm10, a new issue occurs.
Use a cm10 nightly from get.cm and redownload the gapps

Make sure you're looking at the right device. There are no CM10.1 nightlies for epicmtd yet, only CM10. And make sure you use the gapps for 4.1.2, not 4.2.1.

there is the link to get the newest nightlies and here is the one for the gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
Oh my god. Thank you guys! I downloaded the wrong gapps! I had 20121212 instead of 20121011. Such a dumb mistake! Thank you so much! I was wondering why cm10, aokp, and paranoidandroid wasn't working! Wrong gapps
This is kinda off, but is there a reason why cyanogenmod has nightlies for cm10 even though there's a stable version? Are those updates or just something else like jb 4.1.2 merged with 4.2? Wait... that's probably cm10.1. But what's the reason for those nightlies and do I really need them?
I've tried both liquid smooth and illusion 4.2.1 based roms and on both of them my voice search fails to initialize.
When I flashed them both I made sure to wipe everything including the internal SD. I used the included kernel for both and tried using it before restoring anything via TB.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong or possibly so I was hoping someone would be able to set me straight. Thanks in advance!
I found that it is related to the gapps-jb-20121212-signed version of gapps.. I went back to the gapps-jb-20121130-signed version and everything is working perfectly now. Feel free to close this thread
Also a simple update from the play store fixed my problem, try that too
As the title says
Rooted my wfs last night and flashed a custom rom to it today from here showthread.php?t=2283549.. Unlocking the bootloader, rooting and flashing the rom wasn't a problem thanks to the useful threads on this forum. How ever I've on major issue that is really starting to get on my nerves. I noticed the gplay store wasn't installed after installing the rom. I had a quick search and fount a way to install it using the apk, this seemed to go fine aswell, the play store appeared in my menu and loaded but after 3-4 seconds of it loading it force closed. I've tried numerous things I fount like force closing, clearing cache and so on but none of this worked. Anyone got another idea as I really like the feel of this rom and don't fancy having to choose a new one.

Installing the apk manually doesn't work..............you'll have to flash appropriate GAPPS(short for Google Apps),if your rom is a JB one(4.1 or 4.2) do remember to find a "lite" version of GAPPS

Hello =)
Short problem. I installed a new JB 4.3 version on my HTC Desire.
ROM: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2396747)
The ROM works fine, everything is smooth besides the problem with GAPPS. Installtion is succesful, but after after loading the ROM, no google Apps to see. I used the version mentioned in the thread, I tried the official PA Gapps, but nothing happens.
I cant define a google account for my device, not the usual stuff about "sync data", nothing. I have the google search bar... thats all. With the small official gapps version.
I got only one warning during the installation: No file_contexts
any idea?

Using a Root file explorer, go to "system/app". Are the Gapps there? Do they have the right permissions?
Rom comes without a file manager and without gapps, no makret. So no.
But I guess the ROM and my Phone have a problem in this combination. I tried severall 4.3 gapps versions and always the same.
Mad now ;(
Other roms work perfect, with gapps.

Hi Knallkopp, can you please tell me if you tried to install the full gapps or the slimmed version (if you don't know: is the size of the zip 40 or 170mb).
I assume you used the full version right now. If so, please make sure your device is S-OFF and your sd-ext is at least 256 mb (I'd definitely suggest > 512mb).
Otherwise, you can check the /sd-ext/gapps/ folder (if it's empty: good, otherwise: bad ). I'd suggest using AROMA FM. Put the zip on /sdcard and open in recovery.
well, I'll take this thread to expose my problem that also envolves Paranoidandroid, but the version 3.68.
I installed this like the previous ROMs (i've made this process dozens of times), but after i digit my pin code, shws to me the message error "Unfortunately, the launcher has been stopped" and then i cant go to mainscreen.
ANyone had this problem?

Check if S-OFF, otherwise post log or give me information about what you did (not) do.
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...
