Hi everyone, I've just flashed Codename 3.6.6 and kernel MS5 and everything seems fine However, when i switched on the phone my Google play store app is missing.So is there anyway I could re download it? Many thanks
did you flash the gapps for the rom? i bet you didnt.
what do you mean the gapps of the rom? Sorry im just a newbie dont really understand it
Download this: http://androtransfer.com/get.php?p=Gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
And flash it the same way you flashed your ROM. Wipe cache and dalvik-cache first though.
go into the thread where you found the download for your rom, and under the download link it says something like "Google Apps" or "Gapps download"
download it, flash it in cwm.
please read rom flashing instructions if you are a newbie at this.

Read the first post. Download 'Google Apps' and flash via recovery.
Having issues with latest nightly CM 10 (cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip) and gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).
Here's the process I followed:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Mounts and storage > format system
Advanced > wipe battery stats
Flash cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip
Flash gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After doing this, I don't have any google apps. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, do you?
If you have Google play store and can sign into your Google account, you are OK. Some of the Google apps such as YouTube and Gmail are now not included with the Gapps package as they can be downloaded.
If the packaged failed to install, what are the errors given by recovery?

I know the CM10 ROM includes play store, and that I have the ability to search for each Google app individually and install it manually, but why? Why do I have to?
Recovery does not give an error during install. I get the nice asterisk banner and it says 'Google Apps for Android 4.1.2' then it verifies md5 installs and says Installation complete! Successful.
I have tried with ClockworkMod recovery environment v6.0.1.0 as well as TWRP v2.3.2.1
I find it hard to believe I am the only one with this issue, but it also surprises me that I don't see any other posts with this specific problem. I'm sufficiently confused.

It seems you are not installing the latest gapps from Goo.im. According to this guide. You have to flash the latest available Gapps. You can find it here on the date 30/11/2012.
Try installing that Gapps and I hope it works with you

I appreciate the response. The latest CM10 for Maguro is only Android 4.1.2, which is why I used the corresponding version of gapps. In fact, if I go to your second link, the 30/11/2012, it specifically states '!!Not compatible with 4.1.x.!!'.
It may be time to try Paranoid Android or some similar ROM with gapps baked in. Although I'm a huge fan of Cyanogen's work.

Oh I noticed something now. Actually I read that it is always better to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing any Gapps.
One more thing, try installing the CM 10 only then download GooManager and use it to download and install the Gapps via GooManager.
I know that your method is very fine from recovery and these are only another ways but sometimes using another way really works
Good Luck

No, CM10 doesn't include play store. it comes from Gapps. In the past most google apps have to be provided separately from CyanogenMod because of copyright issue (for more information you can have a look at Rootzwiki's post on Gapps). Since Gmail, youtube, maps and navigator weren't available from google market (now called play store), they came packaged with Gapps. Now, those apps have appeared on google play store so i guess the dev has left them out from the Gapps zip to reduce size of the zip.
if you failed to flash Gapps, you will not have play store. the fact you have it means you flashed it correctly. I just checked with the included apks of your version of Gapps. you will get google talk, play store, voice search, calender sync and contact sync, face unlock, plus a collection of background services. no gmail, no youtube, no map, no current, no google+, no reader. anything the play store can provide are not included.
so, Gapps did install correctly in your phone, but it doesn't have those apps you expected to see.

It all makes sense now. Thank you. :victory:
No custom rom is allowed to include gapps. They are not a part of AOSP, but property of Google. Google doesn't OWN AOSP, but maintains it as a member of Open Handset Alliance, for which they're a major force.
Google asked CM - politely, i would expect - to remove them in the past, because it's the most used, AOSP-based, custom rom.
And stop with those myths that one needs to wipe caches to flash roms or gapps, not true. Wipe data (to switch roms) or format /system, yes, to start fresh; but even then, there's no need to wipe caches. I assure you, no bootloop comes because you didnt wipe caches.

thanks a lot for this explanation! i was going crazy, thinking that gapps just wouldn't install even after flashing it over 10 times... XD

I too was in the same boat but your thread helped me understand :highfive:
Hi, I just installed CyanogenMod,but the problem is the Play seems to be missing... I tried installing the apk I found within my directory, but with no avail, it would just open and close almost immediately.
Any/All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks, I installed those, and now the keyboard that came with CM10 will not work and constantly tells me it has crashed. Rendering the phone unusable. I then installed a custom keyboard, (found an APK) and signed into my google account, but the phone now will not use the home button, and the google sync and google services won't work.
Do a factory reset, flashing the Rom then the gapps package, then reboot.

^ gesture typing =D
back to OP
you need to install gapps
and the error you got after is because you need to wipe and then reinstall the rom and gapps
you can't just flash gapps after started the rom
I have had a few problems with Google Play recently.
I had an AOSP based rom that I backed up with TWRP and then I clean flashed CM13.
I booted, installed a bunch of stuff then realised I had forgotten the Gapps so I rebooted to recovery and flashed the open gapps pico package.
On reboot I would get a message saying Google Play Services has stopped every second or so.
I was unable to disable it from the settings and ended up restoring from the backup.
Now I get Google Play has stopped messages each time I try to go to the play store.
I could clean flash the system again but I would rather learn a bit more about where the Gapps end up on the filesystem and try to uninstall them manually, either with adb or with the TWRP file manager/console.
Assuming the pico version of Gapps, what do I need to remove to uninstall Google Play Services and Google Play?
Assuming you are rooted, try installing an APK for Link2SD and you will be able to uninstall system apps.
