Hi, I've asked in the rom specific sections but nobody's advice has fixed the issue. When I flash a custom rom, google now stops working, when I swipe up from the home button it just goes straight into a search box. It won't give me the option to opt into google now. I've tried wiping the data, cache, dalvik. I've tried uninstalling, rebooting and installing again. I've tried flashing multiple gapps packages, I've tried vanir, slimbean, aokp, but nothing works. I can only get google now on stock 4.3 (which is just too featureless to live with).

This is racking my brain. I've installed 3 different custom TW ROMs and each 1 there is an issue when I either sign into my google account or opening the Play Store. This has happened with the two most recent Gapps as well. I have also wiped more than once when I install the ROM, I've tried installing the ROM then rebooting into recovery and installing Gapps; none of these ideas have worked.
Anyone able to tell me what im doing wrong or how to correct this?
Hey everyone. I really am stumped to a solution to this problem. Before posting to this forum, I took the effort to look up answers on Google, and even XDA-devs forums. But it seems nothing worked. This are the things I've done before posting help in the form of a thread.
- I tried the disabling and reenabling the downloads manager. This is the very first troubleshooting I did. Didn't work..
- Tried clearing data and cache of Gapps. I did all of them individually. Nope, didn't budge either.
- One of my friends advise me to wipe dalvik cache and also the cache. Also didn't work. I tried factory reset. Gapps still refused to function normally.
- After factory resetting twice, I reflashed my Cyanogenmod 10.2 and the respective Gapps that worked with it. I still cant' sign in despite creating a new account and trying to sign in using the new Gmail account.
- Finally I downloaded Paranoid Android 3.99 and the respective Gapps that worked with it. Flashed the Paranoid Android 3.99 and the Gapps. Nah, nothing seems to work at all!
The problem is just with Gapps. I can't sign in to apps that needs my Gmail ID to be used. An important app for e.g. Playstore.
I don't mind losing my data, but the inability to access PlayStore and not being able to redownload my apps is highly annoying.
I'm able to access the internet, everything is normal except the Gapps. I really don't know what is wrong..
Please help! I've attached the screenshot that is consistently showing the same error throughout the whole process I was troubleshooting.
Did you try flash Samsung Stock Rom via Odin? Try it and look if it works.
I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,

Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.
Hello all,
I need some advice. I have tried CM11 roms and Gapps packages, only to break the keyboard or break the audio or severely ruin something, or have no working market place (google play)
I finally got everything working perfect and rebooted to do a nandroid and now the wireless is greyed out and will never turn on. I wiped and started over, setup my phone rebooted, wireless stopped working. I have come to realize that I can never reboot or power down or i have to wipe my phone and start over, as wifi is effectively permanently disabled, I have tried clearing cache and data on the settings app, i have tried rebooting, using CWM recovery menu to "Fix permission" or try reverting to previous backups like the ones i took after i setup my phone, but they no longer have wifi since i rebooted them too. for some ridiculous reason. I cannot ever reboot, run out of battery, etc,.. or i have to reformat and reconfigure all my settings its driving me insane. I've spent a few days with holding swears and refraining from throwing the phone lol.
Please help
I used KitKat 4.4.2 (CyanogenMod 11.0) 20140116 From NovaFusion and i found a Gio-Gapps-4.4.2.zip online it appears to be the only combination that isn't a total horrendous broken mess without audio, keyboard or play store can't even find google servers. Please any recommendation for fixing my wifi or maybe links to an updated or better version of cm would work?
P.S. Jenkins CM11 just says (Status 0) Installation Exiting, and won't install either.
For latest cm11(from jenkins maybe), u need CWM 6.0.5.3 recovery.
Thank you very much =), I have a new problem now though. I installed CWM from the link you gave me and Jenkins installed, then i factory reset, wiped cache, and wiped dalvik, and rebooted. The Setupwizard crashes though and I can't go any further, I tried flashing Gio-KK-Gapps-4.4.0.zip and rebooted and its still crashes. Any advice?
Follow this process:
1. Do a clean install of cm11.
2. Reboot & wait for home screen.
3. Switch off & then flash G-Apps.
4. Reboot.
If still force close occurs, just press home button & wait until home screen appears.
Or u may try different G-Apps.:thumbup:
Hope this helps...!!
Btw...there's thanks button for ur ease
Everything works except the keyboard, but i uninstalled the keyboard and used ADB to install a new one. Thank you very much for your help =)!
ur welcome bro
Phone is a Samsung s3, sgh-T999L on tmobile.
Problem I am having is if I install anything above like pico gapps, basically anything that has more than like google play services, my camera on KK 4.4.x roms force closes and locks up.
I have narrowed it down to somthing withing the gapps packages that is causing the issue with the camera, but I cannot for the life of me track down what app is doing it, if it IS an app, my assumption is that it's an app that conflicts with the camera.
What I have done thus far is a Ful wipe, data, cache, internal, dalvik, etc....everthing, and I do this kind of wipe on every flash/install of roms.
I have tried cm11 full gapps, pa full, micro, and pico gapps, and every one of them except for the pico gapps, causes issues with the camera.
I have tried this on 3 different 4.4.4 roms....carbon rom, cm11 rom, and Octos KK rom, and all three have the exact same issue.
I first tried without using gapps and camera worked, so I then proceeded to try different versions of gapps, and narrowed it down to pico gapps works, while other gaps do not.
So has anyone else run into this issue or problem? I've tried searching google but I'm not exactly sure what to search for so I tried different search strings with no resolve, so I decided to post here and see if anyone else has had this issue.
In TW roms camera works fine, no issues. In KK roms useing just the minimal gapps (pico gapps) camera also works fine, using anything above the gapps package be it PA or cm, the camera does not function. When I say not function I mean it locks up, fc's, gives an errors of "cannot connect to camera" (I've done a search on that as well and got nothing).
So if anyone has had this issue and/or maybe has a fix, please please help!!!!!!
