[Q] Looking for GAPPS download

Hey all, I downloaded and flashed MikG's ROM (Sense 2.1 and GB) - but it did not come with GAPPS. Is there a place to download the latest version of GAPPS for flashing onto the phone? Thanks.

Or, you could try rebooting your phone, normal. That worked for me.

Your link shows plenty of download links for Gapps for CM. No mention of a general download for any 2.3-based ROM.
Also - how does rebooting your phone add something that isn't there? I'm really doubting your "lmgtfy" skills.

The Google apps are available for download here and designed for a ROM with the new update

I've seen this happen to others from not wiping there ext partition but I've read you could clear cache and dalvik cache and that might help not sure though never happened to me and I'm on that ROM and loving it.
Everything has been working for 3 days now.

I wiped DATA: CACHE: and dalvik-cache before flashing the ROM. Was I supposed to flash ext data?
What if I wanted to revert back to my old ROM, would a wipe of the ext partition prevent me from going back via nandroid?

Don't wipe your sd card just the ext sd if you have your card partitioned.
I don't use a partition but I've read about this happening to some PPL that don't wipe it.

If you would have clicked on the first search result, you would have found what you were looking for. Sorry I didn't do a search for you and then copy the link so you wouldn't waste your precious time. By the way, The new CM is based off of 2.3, I think you meant to say a sense based rom.
Anyway
I assumed you were like me and didn't wipe your ext3 partition. I assumed, and wrongly so. My apologies. All I can say is when I flashed Mik's2.3 I had no GAPPS or ext3 files showing up. I figured it had something to do with the dalvik cache not reading the partition. My guess would be that A2SD is not activated on initial boot. All I know for sure is that it works. I've just updated this morning to Miks new version, and the same thing happened. All i had to do was reboot, and they showed up.
P.S. You could at least thank the guy who did search it for you, and pasted a link to make it easy, but what am I thinking, if you won't bother to do a simple search, then why would you thank anyone that did it for you.

[Q] ARhd the New update

happy to see arhd got an update the other day,,,
Just trying to make up my mind if I should flash it.
anyone tried it and noticed any improvement ?
also I understand I don't need to superwipe going from 7.0.4 to 7.1 ,,
my question is can I just place the new update on my sd card and flash it straight away or do I need to do anything like clear caches etc etc ?
also should I make a titanium backup or will flashing it over the old version keep all my old settings, apps etc etc.
Thanks for any help.

I usually put the update on the sdcard and flash it over. Apps and setting are intact except for some eventually system settings included in the update. But if you want to be safe make a backup before flashing the update.

Thank you

theres something problem with the aroma.......mike fixed it and will be releasing 7.2 tom............
so just do the dirty flash with 7.2.....................:good: :good:

Always wipe dalvik and cache at least. Doing just this is a "dirty flash". As long as data isn't wiped you won't lose anything.

Every time I reboot Apps/Data go missing [HELP]

Alright I going keep this simple. I checked all over the forum and can't find a sollution. My devs told me to come here and told me no one else has this issue.
Following is my specs. s3, running twrp 2.3.3.1 have sense it came out. I have a 32 gig SD card patriot. I am running super su (note that)
I use TB backup normal. I run inverted Gapps, normaly.
My attempts to fix.
Did a clean install, format system, factory data reset, cache, dalvik in TWRP. I installed rootbox, I installed normal Gapps 20121212, then
Get to home screen I dont reinstall anything except
TB backup, Root Tool box, and updated super su (which might be installed wrong)
anyways I reboot to back up when there done and poof Roottoolbox is no longer there, though icon is still there. Missing app.... icon still there WTF
TB lost its cousin TB pro (key) but TB is there.... wtf
Oh and super su lost its update as did gapps updates
All missing
Also I can reinstall apps restart again and BAM apps missing again same ones same updates.
Is this something I could of done in android comander? I use droid manager and droid explore too..
Never had a issue back on 4.1 jellybam I flased a few roms 4.2 roms..
baked bean, aokp , cm10 tried them now im on rootbox
I did flash the broken jellybam 5.1 a bunch times trying get to work (shrug) dunno if that matters and I flashed from 4.1 to 4.2 a lot of times
I assume some folder got moved its like my system picks apps to move to certain places
OR maybe I installed backed up apps with android comander somewhere i shouldn't so now I can't install them again (though flashing clean install should fixed everything)
Give me some ideas please thank you
I never had a issue that clean install didn't fix so Im worried. I still have old backup on my computer of before the problem started but there 4.1 roms and I don't wana compound my issues so I wait untill I get reply to try anything crazy

I think I know whats wrong I explored a bit and i dunno my data/data folder is FULL of old stuff I guess I asumed it got cleaned out with system wipe in TWRP
So my question is .... assuming im going to do a reinstall what should I wipe to clean out my system folders? I don't want to clean my SD card just the system I want a true fresh install thank you

my advice to you is clean up all partitions by using odin to flash back to stock, reroot, custom recovery and start flashing again. seems like your partitions need a cleaning bud, I'm 99% sure this will solve your problem.
p.s. wiping in recovery is not the same thing as odin back to stock, a full odin flash back to stock will fix EVERY partition on your phone and really clean things up. You can even do a full wipe after the odin to stock to really make sure your system is clean.
also use sdmaid (root app) to clean out your sdcard of crap

use this toolkit to guide you through everything, it will basically teach you how to use odin, I recommend it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746665
FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
root and install custom recovery afterwords using the toolkit
once again, FOLLOW ON SCREEN INSTRUCTIONS, don't get ahead of yourself, the tool kit tells you what to do.
once you boot up just factory reset inside the rom, reboot into recovery (toolkit will do it for you if you choose the setting) and start flashing again
also don't forget to reflash the latest modem for your carrier, found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898
also, I think you should format your sd card, just back up ALL your important stuff on your PC and move it back after, you will REALLY clean stuff up big time,

-I have to flash modem?
-Do I need a kernal?
-I cant use any of my backups after I do this right?
Last but not least I have my stock backup before I started flashing that isn't going to help right? Whats ever messed up im going need to do this all the way right?
Anyways I figure it can't hurt but I gotta make sure I get perfect directions I can follow but if I have guess on anything im doomed. I downloading the stock file now (I think right one its ATT) doesn't say d2att but I assume ATT means that all 3 recoverys are for d2att
anyways you helped me a bunch using search I know I can figure the rest out im going download everything get sleep and attemt in morning I come back let ya know if I get back to running.
Funny this problem effecs so few apps just a couple I must done something wrong. I don't get how anything can live past system wipe in TWRP... I mean it deletes system files right? They get replaced by my new roms files I thought but instead they seem like they get left over every time i wipe... I dunno why. If this don't work im using my warrenty
how come i cant just wipe data then install a fresh rom off my sd card? or could my recovery be messed up also.... (dam) i guess this makes sense oh well lol

Thanks a bunch man.
Every once in awhile someone really is helpfull on this forum and its cool when it happens. *Tips his hat* thanks
I already formated my sd card (will do it again if nessisery)
Just did it few seconds ago figured might help. umm only other question now is.. do I need flash kernal or is that included... and also the s3 toolkit (I have it already) and have used it I only sounds like a noob I just confused at this issue. Umm it doesn't have my specific model will that be a issue? I know it has i747 but not samsung galaxy i747 att
or does not matter only the i747 part needs be right only asking so i don't F up

i747m is Canada

that should help you out, also, the odin flash covers every partition. kernel, rom, modem etc. you will need to flash a custom kernel after your rooted and have a custom recovery. I would do a little bit more research, flash the rom in my sig (my own rom) when your up and running and use it as a daily driver untill you figure things out a little bit more with some good ol reading :highfive:

that was a long download. I know what im kinda doing. I done same thing on my S2 reverted it to sell. The only difference is my S3 is a girl about things. my s2 could take anything.
Anyways I had a long night.. i dunno what problem IS but I think has to do with me having android comander and backing up my APKs to my computer and my phone. and reinstalling apps with bolth programs.
Its so easy to use Android comander that I dunno maybe I been installing apps in wrong places and it finaly caught up to me
Or maybe phone defective.. *shrug* dunno others had my issues too but no fixes really. Nothing solid.
I give your idea a try but I did just wipe data, wipe system factory data and bla bla nothing helps it still happens. the same dam 3 apps too... over and over jezzzz
Thanks for help Im to tired to continue was just waiting for the reocvery to finish later

Anyone answer this.
If I format everything in Twrp all my
system/system/app folders
system/data/app folders
data/data/ folders
And so forth do they get delete and new one put in there place
do they get over written and merge with the ones from last rom
nothing happens to them?
I need to know. And this Full Recovery via odin the guy above says to do will it really get rid of them? all Not leave stuff behind
I think this is my problem if it isn't then its a faulty phone but problems just started so i think its something i did on acciednt
Even though I installed newest TWRP sometimes its like Settings get left over even after a full wipe. Including data (did last night)
Did data, system, cache , dalvik, factory reset, I even formated SD card
Then reindtall rom downloded rom manager. restarted and poof gone and left behind short cut on the desktop
So wtf ? and settings won't stick they revert back default like it can't remember **** its been smoking weed i bet... dam phone
any ideas help or will flashing odin fix this because i don't wana mess phone up worse

I took bolth out first trasferd exSD and formated on my computer... then after I did a DATA WIPE in TWRP which is a format of interneal sd card (correct?)
Just to see if help.. I ran SD maid cleaned up tons of crap... but still having issues... I dunno maybe its the roms and no one else noticed because they don't flash as much as me.... whatever this is going on its weird... Like I said its got something do with data from apps being stored in wrong place so when I update them they get sent to the wrong folder somehow but only some of them get sent there ( dunno ) then when I reboot they gone and I come back and my settings gone too... also when I flash a rom sometimes settings are picked for me already (then if I change them and flash again) they might be different... or I get settings from a old rom.. and I always clean flash btw
Very odd I dunno I going do odin thing tonight just waiting get more info I don't feel like I can do it right now with out Fing it up

Reguardless of what I did to cause this what I don't get is why wiping everything and installing fresh rom doesn't do the trick?
Is there any other way to clean out all /system folders / data folders / root folders of crap and start brand new? beside above post?

Wipe data doesn't format your internal. You need to actually format internal. Cant remember where that option is. Might be in "wipe" or in "advanced" . BUT....it will wipe everything of your internal. What ever you have saved.... Backups....pics.

everything important is saved on my computer honestly I make lots of backups im a carefull person I been reading about corrupt EFS folders, and bad system directories and stuff....
Seems only way fix it go back to stock and go through your folders.... Once im stock again I hope I do this right (im ready to do it now) just ... feel like this could all go wrong
What do I do once im stock? Just wipe the phone? factory data... its the not having a custom recovery (with stock) that scares me so much... I rooted this phone with a program I didn't do it by hand so Im worrried I might not get it right *sigh*

Once your back on stock n rooted install goomanager and installed TWRP again.

Alright so im stock now. with root... Havn't formatted yet (no point) I already did that ... I know how this happned I think..
When I kept going from 4.1 and 4.2 I would get 0 folders so I took it and moved it back by just droping all folders back into the main drive so alll combine. It seemed to work but does sound possible? Would that casue issues with /root folder or is /root got nothing do with internal storage because I can't see it from computer
HEY quick what do I do with 0 folder? delete it all? combine? cry..... hehe I only got 1 but what do I do with it thanks

Quick question on flashing ROM's...

So I have decided to finally root my Galaxy S III, and I haven't installed a custom ROM since my Galaxy S days a few years back, so I am a little iffy on certain things. I was successfully able to root it and everything, I just have a quick question about backing up. When installing a custom ROM and wiping everything, I will lose everything on my phone currently correct? This includes music, photos, etc? I have backed up my phone using Titanium Backup Pro, but I am assuming since that is just for data and apps, that won't include my music and photos on my internal storage, correct? So, will I need to manually back those up? Thank you for help. Also any suggestions ROM's would be helpful; I was thinking of flashing Masterpiece V7 since that is based off of Cyanogen 11 with KitKat 4.4.4. Thanks once again!

Internal sdcard wont be wiped unless you factory reset while stock recovery is installed. Still, you should always have a backup of ALL your important data. Things can always go wrong. You are never guaranteed anything.

Ah, so my internal storage won't be wiped when I perform a factory data/reset using CWM Recovery? That's mandatory since this will be my first ROM install, correct?

Yeah it won't wipe your internal SD and yup, its mandatory!

Thanks for all of the help! What exactly is erased when performing those functions?

Everything on the /data partition except internal sd.

Ah, alright. Are there any specific ROM's you guys recommend? I am trying to have the most stable version of 4.4.4, essentially.

We cannot "recommend" any specific ROMS here since everybody's needs and usability requirements are different and we don't want to take away from other developers who have worked hard on their ROMS. I can however suggest not to go with 4.4.4 because it can make rooting and modding more difficult and it adds absolutely nothing to the 4.4.2 usability. It just adds some security features. If you like stock and TW, go with a stock based ROM. if you don't like all that bloatware and want a more "pure android" experience, go with a AOSP based ROM. But I would suggest just trying a few out until you find one that you like.

From my experience, you don't have to do a factory reset if you are going from a TW based ROM to TW or AOSP to AOSP of the same or new version of android (4.3 -> 4.3 or 4.2 -> 4.3), although it is generally recommended. But you do have to factory reset when switching between AOSP, AOKP and TW or downgrading versions.

OMG help me! i hope isn't lost at all...

hi, when i wiped the cache, i checkedd also the DATA flag, so now on my one plus 3 there's NOTHING. just the recovery mode...
can i fix that?
of course i lost also the stock rom that i made backup before...
what can i do now?
usb transfer doesn't work obviously...
how to transfer a rom in the phone? there's no way?
what to do???

You can sideload the stock Rom via pc to the Phone.
try this guide: http://www.stechguide.com/oxygenos-3-1-3-for-oneplus-3/
But use the newest version of Oxygen OS, version 3.2.0 (can be found here at the forum) so you don't have to update again.
Did you wiped Caches, Data and System?
Normaly the phone should boot if you only deleted Data and cache partitions....

yes Damn me! i deleted Dalvik, System and Data!!! how can be so stupid...
i had also an idea:
can i use an OTG usb storage and use the file manager of TWRP to copy it into phone memory and from there then can i start the flash?

and another thing: is the best option to flash the stock 3.20 rom or other roms like resurrection are better?
i prefer of course some rom without any annoying bugs, what do you suggest?

Yes of course. I thought you have only stock recovery. But with twrp you can also connect the phone to your pc and copy the zip on the phone storage

Until now I only used the stock rom and it's really good.
I think I will only flash a custom kernel when 1+ release the source/binarys for dash change. Because that's what actually on the most or all custom roms/kernels don't wok as far as I know
So I would recommend Oxygen OS 3.2.0 for now.

I have wiped data, cache, and system and I haven't had your issue. Did you maybe wipe Internal storage?

Cesar, i lost everything, i wiped all data on phone
now i will try to sideload the stock rom...
ah to be detailed: i had a chinese rom with hydrogen os, it wasn't so bad at all
then i rooted it and changed recovery to TWRP and used a file to delete the bloatware , everything worked good, then i wanted to use GAPPS, but when i did, the start screen becomes dark, without showing any icons, but the phone was working...
so i just loaded recovery to wipe the cache, but i delete instead all data on the phone...
that's why now i will try with sideload and i will let you know...
if Dash Charge isn't working in custom roms, i will wait too...and of course this time i will try the Oxygen 3.2, i will not use anymore the Hydrogen 1.4

Try to reboot into bootloader mode and flash TWRP, then sideload stock ROM using ADB and flash that. Good luck!

thanks to the help of all of you, i did!
i flashed the Oxygen stock rom 3.20
well. i'm in China right now and all the Google apps don't work, so i cannot properly test this rom for a little while, but i have to say that Hydrogen OS (the version for china market of stock rom) seems a little more responsive, and faster browsing internet...a lot.
anybody agree?

Of course it's faster, because of all the content which is filtered out by your censoring government

actually i'm in China only for work and for a month... i'm italian , so it's not MY government
i Agree with you that all data are filtered, but also the hydrogen os and his apps are filtered, and the browser seems more responsive and fast...
anyway there's anybody tried the official hydrogen os 1.4 stock rom and live in europe/us/australia?
