[Help] HTC Desire - JB 4.3 - Gapps doesnt work - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

[Q] where's the gapps?

I am new to the Desire but not to CM coming from the Hero where I was running 2.3 as well. I rooted yesterday and I got this running but I can't get the gapps to load properly (of on 6.1.1 for that matter). CWM shows the install was successful but when it boots nothing is there. Any suggestions?
Chances are they're removed so you get them yourself from the Market

Problem is I don't even have the market and I never get the setup to log into Google services
Ugh what a pain. To satisfy you all, link to the gapps. Get the right one.

Not to be a "pain" but that's where I got the ones I flashed. I have no idea why they don't load. It's not the first time I've done this as I flashed many roms on my Hero. I've tried wiping everything and starting over multiple times. I even got the Firerat mod to flash once with success.
I think the only gapps that get installed are the market and the one to get you to sign in, the setup basically. To get the rest of the apps, you can go on the market. This just sets it up like.
I know this seems crazy but I've tried flashing this about 10 times. I've tried full wipes and redownloading/installing everything with no success. It says the install is successful each time but when it boots up there is no Google set up and no market. The rom itself will boot up no problem and works great.
I'm not sure if this has to do with anything but after I format cache it shows:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkOp2
(file exists)

[Q] Gapps not able to run with PACman v20 rom

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!
PAC 20 is 4.2, did u manage to flash with gapp 4.2 ?

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!!!!

g play force closes after successfull root

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

[Q] Unable to install 3rd-Party Apps CM12 i9195

Hello, first of all I'd like to apologise if this is not the correct forum to ask about this.
Essentially, I have CM12 on my i9195, it worked perfectly fine for a period of time, but for some reason I am unable to install 3rd-party (non-play store) apps.
I am running the newest (20150206) nightly, and I have unknown sources enabled.
Furthermore, I've already done my fair share of googling, and no I am not using any kind of screen filter app, and I have sufficient memory.
Whenever I attempt to install an apk, it just comes up with 'app not installed' - nothing more.
I have also attempted to install through the terminal (using pm install /storage/emulated/0/Download/app.apk), which resulted in 'Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT]'.
I am completely new to any sort of android related things, so I have no clue how to solve this.
I'd be grateful if someone was able to help me out here.
Cheers
What app were you trying to install.
Usually the error occurs when the package name of the app u are trying to install is same as a preinstalled system app.
I was attempting to install a modded version of Snapchat (without installing any other version of it before).
Only thing that I came up with was moving the apk to its folder in system/app/.
However, the error comes up with with any other app as well, and to say the least moving the apps each time and changing the permissions is slightly inconvenient.

Try recovery and clearing cache and dalvik. Then when you boot up do nothing but make sure allow unknown sources is ticked, then go to filemanager and just install?
There could also be a problem with the modded snapchat version. Try redowning and older or newer version to see if that works.
Cheers,
Sora.

I really hoped it wouldn't come to that, but I did to a full format, which did not help at all.
It is an issue with not only snapchat, but all of the 3rd apps I tried to install.
I guess it might just be an issue with the ART runtime or something, and for now I'll just be converting essential 3rd parties to system apps.
@MedzikPL Did you try to install those apks on other roms. To see if they are working there. That points towards cm12. Which nightly are you running. I will flash cm12 today and i will try to reproduce the problem you are facing. Also give me link to snapchat download.
Very strange. Well I'm on latest nightly and all my 3rd party apps install fine. Can't be runtime. Please post a link to the nodded Snapchat and I will give it a go.

This is the mod, but as I said earlier I am generally unable to install non play store apps through the built-in installer.
Simultaneously, I did manage to get them to work by putting them in /system/app/ though, and they run just fine as I can tell.
After 20150208-NIGHTLY I am able to install apps, thread is for closure

T311 - Cyano 12.1 and Facebook

Hello all,
i'm having some fun installing roms on my T311 tablet, but it seems to me that the most "stable" and "usable" one is the cyano 12.1.
Now, the problem. I can't get the facebook app installed (i always get and "error -504"), and i really don't know why.
Obviously i've googled for a while, but i've tried:
- clearing cache of google apps
- wiping cache from recovery
- new install of cyano+gapps
and nothing worked.
I've also tried to install a different gapps than "open gapps" i have, but i got an error flashing (clean cyano install), so i turned back to open gapps.
The strange thing is that with cyano13 (with the same open gapps..) it works. With other roms, it works. It's only cyano 12.1..
What can i try?
thanks
(last twrp installed, if you need it..)
