Help with flashing AOSP ROMs

I have two Nexus 7 2013 models. One is a 32gb model I got from Best Buy; the other is a 16gb model from the play store. I have tried repeatedly to flash one of the AOSP ROMs on the 32gb model and have even flashed the factory images from google to wipe the tablet but the same thing happens. Every time I flash the ROM and add in any gapps package, the tablet will soft reboot on trying to access the location service. I've wiped everything on the tablet to the point where TWRP says there is no OS and then adb pushed the rom and the gapps package to the /sdcard/ and flashed. I am not restoring from backups at all so I cannot think there is something from a TiBu backup which causes the problem. If I stick with the factory image or a ROM based on the factory image or update, things are great on the tablet. I can flash a new kernel, root it, do all the usual stuff.
I've tried a number of different gapps packages like the goo.im and the Banks ones. A few developers have hinted its some issue with the gapps packages or some strange interaction on the 32gb tablet specifically.
Turning to the wisdom on Q&A for any help.

Wifi only version for the 32GB?
What ROM are you trying to flash?
Where did you get the gapps from? You're not flashing 4.2 gapps are you?
I have the 32GB wifi only N7 2013 and running a personal CM 10.2 build without this issue, so I don't think the fact that it's the 32GB version makes a difference.

HI! Thanks for the reply. I've attempted to flash two different AOSP builds. These are the AOSP builds I've attempted:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470542
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2474297
I've also attempted to use the latest 4.3 GAPPS from goo.im as well as Banks minimal gapps for 4.3 dated 09/19.
The tablet is the 32gb wifi only model and I've flashed the latest twrp using fastboot from the command line.
Thanks!

LTE or Wifi only version of the N7?
I am assuming the LTE version as one of those ROMs you linked is built off of 36C which is based off of the official image for the LTE version (36I was just released) .

After upgraded to 8.6.1, I cant connect to google server, google were calling me updating the google service, but I couldn't sign in my account, after that I sign out my account and log in again, but failed, anyone having this problem?

Yes. Problem disappeared after wipe data/factory reset. Don't forget to make backup before.

Ive downloaded 8.6.1 2 times. I cant flash it thru cwm. Its says installation aborted. (E: Error in /sdcard/0/Download/Slim-maguro-4.4.4.build.8.6.1-WEEKLY-7513.ZIP) I got a bad download both times? I am from 4.3.1 slimbean. Ive just downloaded the zip, 3rdtime, thru the phone, same error message.
So i restore my backup, so now my phone is slow to start up. Loads slow. Sometimes hangs abit and is fine after the long load.

Art vs Dalvik
Hi all,
I'm a new user of Slimkat 4.4.4 weekly 8.6.1 with Fancy Kernel.
It seems to be very good: faster and user frendly with all the settings.
I have a question. Is it better to use Dalvik or switch to Art?
Is it easy to switch between them? Are there any risk?
Thanks a lot

You should be pretty safe switching to art, but art is still in development and not all apps work with it. Check the link in my signature to see which apps may be incompatible that you need working. Roms these days have the old art bootloop sorted out pretty much, but just in case make a nandroid backup before trying art.
In case of an emergency, and if you have aroma file manager flash-zip, you can manually change your dalvik cache / art setting via recovery. You would flash aromafm.zip (search and download if you don't already have it) and open the terminal. Then to get back to dalvik, you enter:
Code:
echo libdvm.so > /data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib
cp -p /system/build.prop /system/build.prop.backup
sed -i 's/libart/libdvm/' /system/build.prop

Thank you.
I passed to ART yesterday.
All ok.

Hi,
Where I could find a list of compatible kernel for slimkat 4.4 stable?

Slimkat weekly 8.14
I'm using this weekly with Fancy kernel.
It seems to be good (only 1 reboot in 2 days).
Yesterday I tried to use ART, but the Gnex had lags somewhere, now I'm on Dalvik again and it's working normally
When someone calls the display doesn't wake up for 2 seconds, Is it normal? How can I fix this issue?
Thanks

weekly 8.18
*edit* fixed the problem by updating the APN settings manually
Did a clean install on my maguro after a full wipe today, with this rom and the full gapps package. Everything works beautifully and very smooth but my phone won't connect to data at all. I've tried disabling and enabling mobile data but nothing happens.
I've had lots of different slim roms installed before but never ran into this problem. Any ideas?

Should not someone a link to the latest version GApps for KitKat?

SlimLP for Maguro?
Are we sure there will be lolipop for maguro? Even Cyanogenmod din't release LP for maguro. So just asking.

Slimkat weekly 9.0
Since weekly 8.6 when I receive a call the display don't start for 2 seconds.
Is it normal or have I to do something?
Now I'm using Slimkat 9.0 with FullGApps 9, but the problem is the same.
Thank you

What can I use on my P3113?
I am intrigued by your SlimKat ROMA, but what to be sure I am looking at a system which can work on my P3113 Galaxy Tab 2-7 ...am I trying for a ROM which is not suited for my tablet? Also, I want to try a system which makes it possible to use my External SD card for more than storage by any trick possible...is this system capable of that? I am currently using Jellybean, rooted, and Directory Bind for the SD use, but I know it won't work if I upgrade the stock system and then root...

Problems after installing CM12.1 nightlies

Hi everyone,
Today I installed the new CM12 nightlies, after rebooting my HTC one m8 it showed me a popup message that google play services stopped working. I also couldnt launch particular apps. So after looking for a solution I tried reinstalling Gapps hoping this would solve the problem.
I downloaded the minimal Gapps ZIP file and flashed it using TWRP recovery, after I wiped the cache and dalvik cache. Once rebooted I started to get the anoying pop up notifications '' Gmail stopped working'' and ''youtube stopped working''. These two messages won't go away and makes my phone unusable. I think the reason why these messages keep popping up is because i flashed the minimal version of Gapps so I downloaded the normal version of Gapps on my computer since my phone isnt accesable because of the pop-up notifications that won't go away. What I did next was plug in my phone to my computer and moved Gapps L-3-14-15.zip to my SD card and installed it again. I also wiped the cache and dalvik cache. after I did a reboot and everything seemed fine for the first 20 seconds... It didnt last long. Im still having the same problem as before Gmail and youtube has stopped working. Do any of you know how to fix this without doing a system recovery?
Thanks in advance

To me it sounds like you installed a gapps 5.0 package not a 5.1 package. With the CM Nightly you need to make sure you're using an updated gapps package designed for android 5.1+.
I always use a minimal gapps package but usually CM has a link available on their page. Double check that you're installing a gapps 5.1 package. I am currently running the 5.1 nightlies and they're great thus far... 4/20 and 4/19 are both confirmable as working on my end. Good luck.
To correct Wipe /data /system /cache and dalvik reinstall the nightly and flash a 5.1 gapps package.

I guess the minimal Gapps package that I first installed wasnt for 5.1
In order to get rid of the pop up notifications I started my phone in safe mode. This worked and I saw there was a new update for cm12.1 after the update finished and I booted up my phone the pop up notification werent there anymore but google play services was also uninstalled. What I did next was installing the newest google play services pack. After it was done I installed the 5.1 Gapps version on my phone and now everything seems working fine again. I did get some notifications that an app such as chrome stopped working but a simple reinstal of the app fixed the problem. Somehow the apps that I moved to my external SD card arent here anymore but im glad I didnt have to do a factory reset.
Thanks for your help

every time i update my cm12 nightlies it has its own recovery (cyanogen recovery) but my zip files are not working with that recovery. (ex. cmzip.gapps, and kernels). for my device it works on PhilZ touch recovery. so the tendency is i have to flash fastboot boot.img(philz touch)again and again.
using Thunderzap kernel 4.15 im stock on bootloop.
running cm12.1 nightlies (4/20/15)
also gapps not compatible.

I use twrp and I've not had any issues with a cm recovery replacing twrp. On the 420 nightly I don't even see a recovery.img in the cm zip so I'm assuming you're updating via cm itself. I think there's a setting in there to choose to update cm recovery or not.
To flash Phillz recovery you're syntax would be "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimgname.img" the boot.img is your kernel. I'm not sure how many aosp 5.1 kernels the m8 has but I've not really been able to find any so I just use the cm one.
To correct your issues I would flash twrp 2.8.6 via fastboot flash recovery. Wipe everything from recovery (cache data dalvik system) and reinstall. If it was me I'd update cm via zip from now on if it was causing me these issues. Good luck
HTC One (M8) ViperOne + Hypernova

Everything seemed working fine again until 30 min. ago...
I got the notification chrome has stopped working. (Haven't had this message all the morning and chrome worked just fine.)
I restarted my phone and the first thing I noticed was that some of my apps have disapeared from my home screen, they are still in the app tray tho. Also my keyboard input mode has been set back to AOSP while normaly I use Swiftkey keyboard as my standard input. Chrome was still pushing me not working notification so I reinstalled chrome and now it works fine again. Not sure for how many time...
Its kinda anoying but maybe tonights nightlies will solve the problem somehow. If not, do you have any sugestions how to fix this?

Yeah I mean nightlys merge with code that it's being worked on and may break or fix certain things. Nightly builds may be perfect or they may not even boot. You kind of have to just flash them and see. Cm is very generic coding and depending on your carrier may not have the non open source vendor blobs necessary to make, say, your speakers work properly. It really depends. I don't believe Verizon had released their kernel source for lollipop so sometimes downgrading firmware to known source (ie 4.4.4) may help alleviate connectivity issues with Wi-Fi and things of that sort. Team UBs build and lollipop dream 5.0.2 have been my go tos as of late. The lollipop dream build is the smoothest running cm build I've ever used even on nexus devices. Very well made.

On which version were you prior to updating to 12.1 snapshot? If you were on 11.0 snapshot you might want to consider a clean flash (factory reset, then flash ROM, then flash gapps). I did it like that and had no problems so far.
Good luck

Try "open gapps" I always have good results using those. Maybe try a fresh install of Lollipop though with FULL wipes including system. If not at least wipe cache and dalvik after flashing.

Since I have less than 10 posts I can't paste links, but gapps file that I used is the one suggested by CyanogenMod. Google "CyanogenMod gapps". Go to first link (it should be CM wiki page). Scroll down until you find table with version 12.1 "Download: GitHub". Click on it. Now, when on GitHub scroll down and click "arm". Now select the latest zip file (at the time of writing this, it's "gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip"). If it doesn't start downloading click on "view the full file" or "View Raw".
If that doesn't work, try doing as RuffBuster said.

Cannot dirty flash
I currently have thomson.aa's unofficial lineage os build installed. This update shows up in the updater app, but after I download it, it says the zip is corrupt or unsigned and it does not let me install it. If I manually download it and try to install via TWRP, it fails saying "can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset". I would hate to have to reinstall all my stuff, though. Is there some way around this? Or is there something wrong with the update?

Got no problems installing it via TWRP. Works great, stable so far.
crdroid was fine too, lots of special settings (little too much for me), but I prefer a ROM with regular OTA updates. Thank you beroid anyway.
P.S. My grammar help changes "beroid" to "heroic"

Can this be installed over the top of cm13.0 nightly?

You basically asked the same question in 2 threads??? So as this isn't really thomson.aa's problem, I'll answer you here.
I dirty flashed from stock -> cm13 -> crDroid -> thomson.aa's LOS14 without issue. I tried with the official release and got the same as you. So after editing the installer script to force it to install, it did. But once it booted, everything kept force closing. It just wasn't happening.
So I wiped data and chose to restore my backup from google. I just installs most of your apps but it saves a bit of time. Still need to set things up properly though.

I figured this might be due to either
- Something being wrong with the currently installed build
- Something being wrong with the one I'm trying to install
That's why I posted in both places. Sorry if that is not the thing to do.
Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to do another reinstall then.

I have no wifi, too (after trying a dirty install over an old CM13 that resulted in an error). Here's the issue in their bugtracker, I think, in case anyone else experiences this.
Got the same issue when trying to go back to CM13 now -___-

Seems strange that I've had no wifi issues. I've tried turning it on and off with no problems.
A few (maybe patronising) thoughts:
Did you guys check the md5 hash?
Which recovery did you use? I used TWRP 3.0.2.5
Were you previously on COS13.1.2? I was.
I downloaded fresh open-gapps for the install - ARM64, 7.1, nano.
I wiped system, dalvik, cache. Installed LOS14.1, su, gapps in that order.
The dirty boot left me with lots of force closures so I wiped data, dalvik and cache, completed the wizard after booting and all was fine.

I was on the latest CyanogenMod snapshot.
I wiped data, dalik and cache, then installed lineage, gapps and su. Restoring a nandroid backup of CM13 did bring the wifi back again.
I then wanted to restore my backup of lineage, because I already transferred most apps and settings and don’t care to much for the wifi (hoping it will be solved in not too far future), but TWRP failed to recover, getting stuck while restoring data, only restoring the system partition. Strangely, after this, the wifi worked, however I experienced many FCs. After wiping data again, the wifi was broken again, the MAC adress showing as 02:00:00:00:00:00.
Wiping system, I tried to reinstall lineage without any extras, but TWRP just got stuck again with no progress being made after detection of the partitions. Strangely, restoration of the lineage backup worked now, including data The original problem persists, of course.

I mentioned COS13.1.2 specifically because it flashes partitions other than system that may affect your situation. CM doesn't. If you've had COS13.1.2 installed previously then these other partitions should be up to date.
If you're having inconsistent results using TWRP3.0.3 it may be worth trying 3.0.2.5.
