Friends
I have a HTC Desire HD, unlocked but S-ON, and I recently upgraded to cm-11-20140710-unofficial-M8.1-ace. Most things seems to work fine but I got a bit confused as to which version of GApps to install?
I installed the version found on the cyanogenmod.org /Google_Apps page, ie the latest, the 20140606 CM 11 version. It installed but gave me several errors about this or that crashing when I rebooted. After a few more reboots then finally it seems to have settled down a bit, and I get much less errors. But I still have problems using the Google Play store, partly maybe because I am in China and they seem to block it sometimes.
I noticed that when I installed the version of GApps I got, it said it is for Android 4.4.3 and not 4.4.4 which is the one I have installed. Could that cause problems?
Anyway, is that version of GApps correct, or should I find another version somewhere else? I would have asked at the developer forum but I am not allowed to post there.
Thanks

Thanks for the good suggestion.
I downloaded it just now, but now I am not sure what to do next.
Can I just install it over the existing GApps installation through recovery? Will that take care of the one already installed?
Thanks
Calle
Just boot to recovery ,clear cache and dalvik and install. Then reboot

Thanks a lot, that was good. But then I ran into another problem, a more serious one.
When I try to call it says "Unfortunately Dialer has stopped". I cannot call anyone. Neither can I receive calls, even when the phone is ringing!
I can send and receive SMS though.
The rest seem to be working ok, except that Google Play Store is extremely slow and I do not seem to be able to d/l any app.
Should I try some other GApps package or go back to some earlier version of Android? I need to be able to make phonecalls.
Thanks
Calle
Update to one of latest recovery;Otherwise you'll surely get an ERROR.
To do;
-Flash Full Wipe zip
-Flash Rom(M8.1)
-Flash GApps(4.4.4)
-Flash boot.img(via fastboot)
-Reboot system.
Version details;
-20140612 was last unofficial-4.4.3 before major changes has been made.
-20140618 was the last build with 4.4.3
-20140710(M8.1)
-20140804(M9)
I would just reflash ROM and install latest 4.4.4 gapps

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:
Hello guys, I've searched a little and didn't find any posts that could help me specifically for the Galaxy Nexus.
I've flashed my phone a long time ago and have been using Paranoid Android for probably over a year.
The problem is, my cellphone was really really slow. So I decided to try a new ROM and re-flash it. And So I did.
I've tried flashing this Full_Auto R11 kernel then the CyanogenMod 12 and finally GAPPS.
I was getting error status 6 on Clockwork mod on gapps, but eventually got around it. But it didn't install play store, I've tried manually adding but it didn't work.
So I went for another 5.0 ROM (I'm really interested in getting android 5.0). Wiped all the data, all the cache, installed everything and rebooted.
Bam! Infinite booting screen.
No, I didn't create a nandroid backup because I'm really dumb.
So, I need your help. What I want to do is to get my phone working again with a 5.0 ROM (if possible).
I can boot into ClockWork Recovery just fine, if that helps.
Thank you for the attention.
I would recommend to install latest full factory package from Google.
Then you will start with everything stock, so flash latest TWRP recovery via fastboot (CWM is no longer supported, so error 6 when installing new Lollipop Google Apps appears).
Then in TWRP, do a factory reset, wipe /cache and /system partitions.
Then you can install your Lollipop ROM (over ADB or by pushing ROM package to emulated sdcard).
After this, install latest Full_Auto kernel.
At the end, install Pico Google Apps.
You must install the Pico version, because our /system parition is too small to handle Lollipop with all Google Apps included.
This should work for you, and you will have fully working Lollipop on your Galaxy Nexus
P.S: If you intall the AOSP Lollipop ROM by @freshgiammi and you miss root access, install latest SuperSU flashable zip.
Thank you!
Thank you man!
I've ran into some troubles but managed to do everythings correctly =)

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

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.

Did you reflash Gapps when you upgraded? Was it the CM13 version?
You need to reflash Gapps FOR CM13 (ie you need a new version not the one for CM12) and it must be flashed directly after clashing CM13, I believe. (I've not upgraded to CM13 myself as yet). YOu should do a full wipe of data & cache too.

I have do a format /system, then I' ve flashed the Rom (Cm 13.0) and the Google Apps (Open-Arm Stock Package)

How I solved this problem
I had the same problem and solved it by:
downloading open gapps for ARM and 6.0
booting into recovery
factory reset
sideload gapps by using my PC
Now everything works just fine
