I've Searched and all the posts i have found haven't helped.
I originally had CWM and CM11 installed on my S4. After some slowdowns and freezing on my phone i decided to do re-install/upgrade of the rom. However after the install and installing the required gapps all i get is constant app crashes/errors.
Steps i took:
Backup Via CWM
Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache
Formatted Data and System
Installed "cm-12-20150405-NIGHTLY-jfltetmo" then "gapps-lp-20141212-signed" from cyanogenmod website
When that failed, I installed TWRP via oden and tried again but with the same results. I tried other versions of G-apps but the errors persist. If i just do the CM12 without Gapps it works just fine.
Has anyone seen this, can you suggest anything i have not tried yet?

I have recently installed the new stable version of CM10 that was released today. The rom seems to be working fine but i cannot for the life of me get the gapps to install.
here are the steps I have followed to do a FULL CLEAN wipe.
Phone being used: S3 1747 att / Carrier:Bell
Rom=cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
Gapps=gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
CWM= d2att 6.0.1.4 touch
1- Boot into recovery
2- Wipe cache
3- Under advanced wipe dalvik cache / battery stats
4- Under mounts: format system, data, and cache
5- Flash the ROM's zip file
6- Flash the gapps zip file
7- Reboot
This has always worked for me and i have no idea why the Gapps will not instal. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Ive tried 3 times now. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: forgot to mention, the actual install within Clockwork recovery goes fine but when I boot into the rom and check my apps, the gapps are not present. Sorry for any confusion.
Check to make sure signature verification isn't turned off. If it continues, try twrp recovery (to rule out a recovery issue).
Thanks for the quick reply!
I turned signature checking on in ClockWorkMod, Reflashed gapps, wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions. Still does not work.
I then installed TWRP Recovery (latest version for d2att) Factory reset, Wiped cache, Wiped System, Wiped Dalvik. Installed ROM then Gapps both with signature verification turned on. Still no Gapps. Any ideas?
Also tried going back into TWRP, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and fixed permissions. Still no Gapps.
Where did you dl them from? i would try dl'ing again from a different place.

Will report back soon. Thanks again!
I tried many different links including the ones posted above and this still doesnt work. I also got curious and flashed a few older nightly builds mainly:
cm-10-20121110-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121111-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121112-NIGHTLY-d2att
and gapps does not work on any of them. There has to be something im doing wrong but i cannot for the life of me figure it out. Im not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
EDIT: wait a minute... what apps does the gapps package include by default now?
EDIT2: GOOD LORD. I feel so stupid. I was under the impression that navigation, maps the new camera app was part of the 201210 gapps. I somehow forgot that recently I installed the 4.2 leaked apps which came with all the new goodies. Jesus lol. I also remember that installing the 4.2 apps made me lose the launcher options in cm10 settings which is why I have gotten rid of them. I guess this problem is now solved lol
Haha, well normally GAPPS don't include much. Just playstore, voice search (google now) and some other apps I don't remember. Not many though.
I updated to 6.0.4.3. so I could install gapps 4.4 since i read it was required. First I tried gapps 4.4 with cm11 and it wouldnt boot, just had a black screen. tried rebooting into recovery to retry the installation after wiping system but the recovery wouldnt properly load, couldnt get past cache wipe. Afterwards I downgraded back to 5.0.2.6 to install CM10.2 so i could try installing 6.0.4.3 through ROM Manager. I think gapps is freezing up cwm because it still happened again with the touch cwm 6.0.4.3 while trying to install cm 11 with gapps. i downloaded the package from galaxys2root.com and first i thought it was just a faulty upload because many people were posting comments on it with no resolution. Then I came here and downloaded the new Hellkat and BeanStalk ROMS and Hellkat did the same thing where cwm froze at cache wipe and i downgraded back to 5.0.2.6. although after I downgraded to that cwm, the Hellkat boot animation is continuous. I'll try BeanStalk next. I've been using darkside sper wipe and cache wipe with the installation of these.
I am having an issue with apps working after doing a recovery from an AOSP rom. I had flashed c-rom and then went back to my recovery and now I am having an issue with apps not downloading like amazon app store, facebook, and some others. It will just say "ERROR SAVING" or "DOWNLOAD FAILED" Tried uninstalling/reinstall, wiped the cache in the rom, wipe the dalvik cache/CACHE in twrp, and fixing permissions in twrp. NO LUCK :crying: Any ideas besides reflashing the stock rom?
I also found a wicked folder that I can not delete or nething. Put a screen shot.
I have tried the roms below:
Pac-rom
LiquidSmooth
CyanogenMod 12.1
CyanogenMod 11
And the result is it always gets stuck at boot where the boot animation continues infinitely. I have gave it about 30 minutes to boot.
With LiquidSmooth I was able to run logcat, but CM12.1 I am not able to.
I have tried resetting system, data, caches in twrp and using the reset for new rom in philz.
I have tried flashing with both TWRP and Philz.
I am using the latest Philz and TWRP.
The only thing that has worked for me is samsung stock ROM, but I do not like the stock ROM.
Are there SPH-L900 phones you have to do something different?
Is there a way to get boot logs from CM12?
Am I doing something wrong?
See attachment from LiquidSmooth.
After flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086769 everything worked.

Hi,
I see that you got it working by using that thread, but what exactly did you flash from it? I had it working with CM12.1 but decided to flash the recovery from CM for my phone and it ruined the installation. Tried re-flashing with the latest nightly to get stuck in the CM infinite boot, returned to stock (that worked fine) flashed TWRP and CWM 6.0.4.3 Touch, re-did everything again with both, but cant go past the infinite boot. This happened the last time too, but it started working out of nowhere so I continued patching until I flashed "cm-12.1-20150828-NIGHTLY-l900-recovery.img". Now it doesn't boot again and redoing what I did the last time is not working (Wiping Cache, Dalvik...)
Thanks

Followed this guide from some post I found after reading for 8 hours, LOL. Don't remember who it is from... It's for the Cyanide ROM but worked perfect for CM12.1 latest nightly with the latest GAPPs
1.) revert everything to stock
Using Odin3 v3.09 I first flashed this: L900VPUCNE2_L900SPTCNE2_SPR.zip
2.) Reboot and verify it's not bricked, then use ODIN to flash Philz philz_touch_6.15.4-l900.tar.md5
3.) Reboot into Philz recovery and follow these steps exactly
1. Mounts and Storage
Format / system
Format / cache
Format / data
Format / data and /data /media (/sdcard)
(note this isn't the EXTERNAL sdcard, on to which I had loaded the ROM, Shift and gapps)
2. Power Options > reboot recovery
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache
5. Wipe data / factory reset > Wipe data / factory reset
6. Wipe data / factory reset > clean and install new ROM
At one point Philz asked me if I wanted to root and I said yes.
3.) Flash (from the external sdcard) the ROM (Tablet style ROM found in OP "5.0.2-RC-7.1-tablet"), Then flash Shift (Shift-LP-4.3 other versions DID NOT WORK), then flash gapps (GApps-5.0.2-20150315-signed NO OTHER VERSION WOULD FLASH, got Error 20 every time) Here's the
After everything was flashed I rebooted and got stuck at boot animation AGAIN, so I rebooted into recovery and wiped cache. Just cache, not dalvik or user data, rebooted, and it worked.
Installed Netflix from appstore, when I logged in to netflix it asked me to update google play services (I've seen it do this on other devices as well). Updated google play services and went back to Netflix, chose a random show and tapped on it, stuck at "loading" screen. Rebooted phone, tried netflix again and it works.
This was a tough one! But it's working now and I've saved all these files in one place incase it bricks again. Now to install the Note 3/4 style faux-stitched-leather back cover I got off Amazon.
Thanks all!
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I was trying to upgrade my CM 13 to 14 and I got stuck. It seems that ROMs will run normally on my device, but when I try to run GApps (both during first set-up or after), my phone reboots.
This is what I did, through TWRP:
- boot and system backup (which I can't get to restore !! );
- wiped data, storage, system, dalvik, cache and internal storage;
- flashed new modem and bootloader (which don't seem to give any problem);
- flashed CM 14 and GApps.
Whether I try to flash any other ROM or other GApps packages, these fail and my phone reboots. While I was trying some solutions, I found out an error during wipe: unable to mount storage. Maybe apps can't access storage, that's why it gets to reboot. But why anyway? Is there some way to solve this? I tried going back to stock and do everything, but I can't get LGUpdater to flash.
Thanks in advance
I solved this by flashing this ROM, wiping cache and dalvik, and then flashing back the CM ROM I wanted.
