hi,
I have installed a cyanogenmod nightly and gapps two weeks ago. But,,, I was too fast, something went wrong with google accounts. I don't want any google app but the playstore. To the playstore I have got 3 other google apps that I don't want on my phone.
Now I'd made a new installation vers nightly 31.07.2013. I tried all the things with the rom manager like installing rom from sd card, installing with the wiping the system in the recovery system...
The rom and the new gapps zip files are in the download directory together.
AND... after wiping and new installation I must not install gapps. Playstore one other google app were ein the system without installation.
Why????
In the recovery system I find wiping and there is a something like format sd card.
What's the differnt between wiping and formatting?
Wgat I have to do do make a very clean installation.
In linux I have for example 2 partitions (three with the swap), system and data. while a new installation I will delete and format the system partition to have a clean installation.

Can anyone help me out here?
I'm on the stable unofficial cm7.2 from alquez. Now the nightly builds are being released, but everytime I update by installing the zip via cwm my link2sd goes all nuts.
When I reboot after flash I get a mount warning, so I do a reboot.. then I try all sorts of things but all the liniks seem to be messed up and my internal memory goes full to capacity.
Does anyone know how to update without messing up my link2sd? I have to restore my nandroid everytime and so I don't get to use the nightlies.
I'm using an 8GB SD partitioned ext4 to 1GB.
Getting back up and running from a CM7 Nightly Update
1/ NANDROID BACKUP TO GET BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE IF YOU HAVE TO
2/ Titanium backup of all apps/data and system data
4/ Backup Titanium backup, ES File Explorer and LINK2SD apk's to SD card (Always have them there anyways!) using ES File Explorer
3/ Full wipe and install of new nightly and gapps
4/ Use CM7 File Explorer to reinstall TB, ES File, and LINK2SD
5/ Run Link2SD and relink SD Ext
6/ Turn on autolinking in settings
7/ Reboot
8/ Full titanium restore (files will auto relink to SD Ext with autolink on)
9/ Mass unlink the files you want on the Internal memory
10/ Redo your widgets on desktop
All your settings including WiFi, Google accounts, apps settings and data, System and Cyanogenmod settings will be retained.
Like I said. Pretty much all you have to redo is widgets.

After flashing new build of CM7
go to link2sd, then recreate mount script choosing your correct partition (ext4 in this case)
fully reboot (not quick reboot)
all your app should now shown correctly

Sometimes you can lose some but not all of your linked apps and they won't relink dalvik or libraries.
Last attempt at a normal update and remount script I lost 69 apps that refused to relink.
If you want to be safer than sorry...

OMg. That's the same as installing any custom ROM, just keeping the settings (which I backup anyway). I can't do this nightly! I might as well just update when there are major major improvements such as kernal, etc.
Can't we like, use a patch or something that saves all the links when updating, or something like that?

I'll work something out.
I too, always do full backup with Titanium, then full wipe, clear dalvik cash, install new CM build, then restore app using Titanium again.
My question is, why when I reinstall new build, gapps are always present, I don't have to install them again? I always do factory reset, clear cash partition and dalvik cash before update.

They're present because you included them in the full titanium backup.

that would be great, thanks in advance.
I don't know if this is a known issue, nor if I'm in the right forum. Yesterday I flashed Unofficial Cyanogenmod 10.1. It was working pretty good. I then proceeded to install my .apk's. I installed only two, Temple Run & Temple Run 2. After those, I tried to install everything else, but it wouldn't let me. Every time I pressed "Install" the phone restarts. I tried to do it via a File Manager and Airdroid, still the same result; phone restarting. Aside from that, I installed App2SD and when I tried to move to SD it restarted.
I did the obvious things.
Remove SD and reinsert
Unmount and Mount SD Card
Swith phone off, switch it back on
Formatting the whole SD/Erasing the whole thing
I don't want to flash the rom again, since it would erase everything,
Is there possibly any other ways? Please help.
Isn't the ROM blocking you from installing with the "Security->Unknown sources" unticked? Might be a silly thought, but it is possible, that you haven't allowed the ROM to install from non-Market sources. I'm looking forward to your reply, if it fixed your problem or not. Try and tick it :silly:
Did you full wipe when flashing CM10.1? What ROM were you using before? You could try dirty-flashing (only wiping cache and dalvik) the same ROM and version again, but if that doesn't fix it I would do a full wipe and reflash. You can always back up apps with Titanium Backup or something similar and restore them.
Hi,
The story (if you care)
I updated successfully the CM13 Rom (actually just wanted to update CM12, but what ever)
I found myself in a situation where i have CM13 but no gapps. So i changed CWM to TWRP to flash open Gapps aroma.
It worked but i found the system unstable so i decided to flash CM12.1 back and appropriate Gapps back.
But every trial I did there was a conflict with gapps etc etc. It worked, but Rom was always unstable.
During the flashings etc, I noticed that "factory reset" acutally left many files and apps in the phone. I figure "i juste do like on any PC, I completely Wipe the Data, and install clean OS".
So I wen't to TWRP and decided to wipe everything I could except microSD Card (wipe > advanced > checked all boxes : dalvik, system, cache, preload, data, internal storage ). The SD card had latest CM12.1 release and gapps aroma for 5.1, ready to flash
I found myself in a situation where neither TWRP nor CWM would flash a .zip file : and TWRP showing
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
After multiple TWRP / CWM flash and reflash and trying to press any button suggesting that it would fix something, I managed to remove the
Code:
E:Mount: Unable to find partition for path '/sdcard'
message on TWRP.
Though TWRP would still not flash .ZIP files, so I tried to flash the CyanogenMod recovery .img into the boot partition and from there I was able to install the ROM (.zip)
The actual situation :
So now I have a CM 12.1 running without GAPPS only able to flash .ZIP files. (Cyanogen recovery is gone now because installed the ROM over it).
So I wish there was a post/walkthrough that would explain how to install/reinstall a clean recovery, maybe even a clean ROM, clean kernel (not that I know what it is). This walkthough wouldn't expect you to have a working recovery nor a ROM installed.

Hi rsepierre,
I've got a few questions.
First of all, am I correct if I say that you're able to boot Android and use your phone normally (without GApps)?
Secondly, are you still unable to boot into recovery and use it?
If that's the case, I think you should try flashing a new CWM/TWRP recovery through Odin again.
Don't forget to boot into recovery immediately after it's flashed!
You might want to untick the option of rebooting automatically ("Auto reboot" or something similar) in Odin. In that way you can reboot into recovery manually.
If that's all done and you're in recovery, I'd use adb sideload (or an SD card) to flash the Open GApps zip.

I downloaded the Leneage Os 14.1 and i used Gapps mini (it worked alright). But the next day i installed a game, i found out that the phone had an error so i decided to flash the rom again. But each time i install rom, there would be errors like Google play store stopped working, calendar has stopped working, Google play services keeps on stopping and more!!!. Then i downloaded the Gapps aroma (due to my storage i cant install the full set), i selected the apps i want to install but it still displays the same errors. i even downloaded octos but my phine keeps on giving me such errors. [the setup guide is not even working.
Can anyone help me with this issue?

I tried both
User recovery to perform a full wipe before installing the ROM.
Hello so I tried installing lineageos. I used twrp 3.3.1, i opened it up from fastboot. I formatted data, Wiped, Dalvik cache, system, data. Then I moved the zip file from lineage os from pc, i tried flashing it and It ended up giving me error 1. I gave up on this. I wiped the whole thing again and tried backing up with backup I took before all that. It's giving me out partition not found. Im currently still in twrp mode. What do I do?

I am braain I read everything, when you install a Roms you must also have the gapps (open Gapps App site) then look you have to know armeabi7a which is your processor and click, then choose the size of the Gapps (I choose the nano) and then download i think you use pc? downloaded no extract put it in SDmicro, you have also downloaded the Rom Laneage put it together with Gapps so you have in the download folder in SD two zip. The rom stock that you backed up and tried to restore did not restart because you have to put back the original stock firmware, you understand why you have to do it all over again, then another thing you do back up just for the old stock and then in TWRP go to Wipe click and make cache, date, Dalvik, done system slides and again says done and go in the zip first the ROM flash has to say successful operation, then flash the Gapps and then it returns in the Wipe button click and go in Dalvik / Cache and then restart ok in boot. Remember if you want to put the Rom back in stock the Xiaomi firmware cancels Laneage you always have to start over it does so. By?
