CM11 otter with Google package - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
Installed the following on my Otter Kindle 1st Gen:
twrp-2.7.1.0-otter
cm-11-20141112-SNAPSHOT-M12-otter
gapps-kk-20140606-signed
all is OK, in that Cynogenmod is working, but none of the apps that require google services do not work (eg. youtube). Google Play Store is also not installed.
I have tried reinstalling gapps in TWRP but its the same issue.
any suggestions?

Thanks. I will tty that. I'm assuming I need to uninstall the current gapps package first, right?

CyanogenMod 7.2.0 / GAPPS

Hi,
I recently rooted my girlfriends Wildfire and missed the Google Apps.
So I wanted to download the latest apps and now whats about the Google Playstore?
I opened the zip file and couldn't find it.
(Here under Google Apps addon)
Is there a package where the latest Google Apps are integrated?
Or will they be updated through Playstore itself?
Don't worry just flash the zip, setup google account, open "android market" wait for some time and it will update itself to the playstore.
If it doesn't update then wait for a day or so, sometimes it updates without you knowing (like a ninja )

Okay,
I will install today and will reply if I have any issues.
Thanks for your help.:good:
EDIT:
Okay it was immediately changed to the new market.

Hi So I just flashed CM 7.2.0 and after tried to flash GApps 20120429 which as far as I can tell is the most recent one. I get to the part where I enter my google info and did all that the play store opened but now I am getting Play Store Force closures and I cannot get into the App store at all. I tried flashing again and it is still happening. Any advice on what to try next? Thanks!
You flashed ics gapps on gingerbread!
Latest gb gapps should be named gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip.
yup that was it

Hahah well that's embarrassing... I thought I saw somewhere it was ICS. Thank you so much.

Need gapps?

I want to install Codename Android 3.4.1 today and have been reading the thread very closely, but there is one thing I cannot seem to get the answer for.
Why does someone need to install gapps? What's the problem with just installing the google apps from the play store? If I were to install a gapps, and an app therein receives an update, the gapps version won't update correctly? Only play store ones will update?
Anyways, seems to me gapps is unnecessary if I can just download from the play store. Obviously I'm asking this as I'm somewhat clueless and am very possibly missing something, so if someone could please explain I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Thanks in advance!
Gapps should have the same signature and package name as the ones from the play store.
Any updates will thus still be available.
Also, Gapps includes the play store...so without installing them you'd have no place to get applications.

true, I learned this the hard way. :good:
People flash gapps as its needed to access their Google account, which includes access to the play store.
You could still install apps from a backup, for example.

google play problems

I tried flashing a rom and ended up resetting my phone, yet i retained all my messages. So I didn't lose all my numbers or anything. I can make and recieve phonecalls and text just fine. It says i have 4g and i dont have trouble accessing the network for internet (with or without wifi) . I have all my important apps and contacts saved onto titan backup but i cant access google play store to download it. "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
Google play movies and music wont open, yet i can open samsung apps. And when I try my google app it gives me a network error
Any advice on what I can do?
Try wiping days for the play store, play store services and Google framework. Then reboot.

you rebooted after? its google services framework
so did the rom you were attempting to flash actually install?
Did you happen to flash a Verizon ported rom? I.e. synergy, axis, hyperdrive ?
Or was this a custom ROM like cyanogenmod or aokp ?

also, go to settings > apps > all and scroll down to see if, google download manager is disabled. If it is, select and enable it, then try play store again
it was paranoid android, that didnt work so i tried to restore my backup. But it said MD5 mismatch or something and i ended up with a reset phone.

Nope. Still can't access anything google play related. Will a hard reset fix this?

yes it was.
and i'm assuming since the flash didnt work that you're on stock now? hmmm
Sounds like a Gapps problem. If you're on something other than stock, go to that ROMs thread download and reflash Gapps for your ROM.

Having some issues with last three updates of task aokp

I can't seem to get Google now to work anymore. It keeps crashing as soon as I give it a voice command.
For some reason now, it seems like my phone lost compatibility with lots of apps. I can't update top the latest versions of the apps and download apps directly through playstore app. On my laptop, the playstore site says the apps are compatible and "downloading" but I get nothing on my phone.
I ve done a clean install of the latest update and cleared data for the individual apps that I've had problems with but I'm still not seeing any changes.
Any idea what's going on here? Is this something everyone else is experiencing?
(Didn't want to post this in the Rom thread since these issues are not just about the Rom, i think)

I've been running his ROM for a long time and never experienced this issue... It might be your play store or gapps. I would download and flash his gapps again see if that fixes it.

Are you using a different dpi?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
It's the gapps that you flashed.. he posted an earlier build shortly after which fixed the issue (just have to update Google Search app in the Play Store). This was posted in the OP.
I'd probably fully wipe but at least system and both caches and reflash the latest ROM and gapps posted.

edit: Just noticed the post above saying the same thing. These are probably covered ad nauseam if you search in the QA thread as well.

I am. I changed it by editing the build.prop file. but even if i change it back to normal dpi, i still have the same issues. i just did a clean install of 5.5.13b update and still having same issues. im back at normal dpi.
is there a way to fix this?
explain clean install. i would recommend wiping data cache, dalvik, & formatting /system, /data & /media then flashing ROM/gapps. completely fresh start. what recovery do you use and what device was the version for (d2att, etc)?

clear data from play store and google services framework after reverting to stock dpi. then find a multidpi play store and flash it. then you can freely change the dpi.

[Q] After Flashing a ROM

So, after a while of searching the web, I never found a definite answer. As my first time I flashed carbon rom, and I knew to wipe my data and such before to have a clean install but what I forgot about was how to get google play and apps from the google play store. For example after flashing carbon rom I have all the basic apps, but nothing more. Also, when I try to link my contacts through gmail the setup asks for the domain and I couldn't get passed that step.:crying: So basically my 2 questions are:
How do I get Google Play and a few apps from the app store onto my new ROM? (Bloons TD5, Clash of Clans, IFunny, etc.)
What do I enter when linking a gmail account when it asks for the domain,port,connection type etc.?
Any help is much appreciated, I've gotten really frustrated with these too problems.
Thanks

You need to install the gapps. You didn't install them that's why there's no playstore. Once you install the gapps all will be normal.

Do you know anything about the domain and the other information you are supposed to enter when linking a gmail to sync the gmail?
