[Q] Installing cm12.1 on top of cm12 problem - LG Optimus G (International)

Hi guys!! I have been lurking around this forum for about 2yrs now (since i got my e975) and i have to say that you are all incredible and helpful!
So now for the question...i am running on a nightly build of cm12 and i am using cwm recovery. For about 2 months now i want to install the latest cm12.1 nightlies but i cant seem to do it correctly. The in-built installer doesnt work ( it boots into recovery and i get the error-android icon) and if i try to do it mannually (no matter what build i install , gapps or no matter what i wipe ) the rom always doesnt install correctly (i get force closing and crashing errors).
So i read somewhere that cm team changed the supported recovery for the inbuilt installer (dont know if its true). Can u help me install the latest nightly?

[Q] How to install the newst Nightly?

Hello
i have RC1 and i want to install the latest Nightly, but with reseting every thing because my rc1 got slow...
if i flash it again and than install cm7 from the begining will it work?
if u r on rc1 then just install the zip from sdcard through custom recovery..no need to wipe anything..u wont loose any data..
but if u want a fresh CM7 without any problem then u can start from the scratch
in recovery i have 3 options:
-latest recovery
-stable r.
-stock r.
which do i need to choose? latest?
use stable recovery to be on safer side..any recovery will work but i always use stable recovery
and what is "scratch" because i want that option because my old rc1 crashed totally so it is not able to boot neither...
will it work if i start everything again from flashing?
i meant to flash the nordic froyo rom and then install CM7 on it..
everything is given in this thread

[Q] Need help with PlayStore

Hi, I installed evervolv JB nightly 2 June 2013 for HTC Desire, but there is not playstore included. So I installed different versions of playstore but it opens and closes immediately. I flashed some other ones like aroma but then on the boot it says the wizard couldn't start and gives the same error over and over, so the phone becomes dead, I had to format again.. How can I install a working playstore ?

[Q] Cant install CM11

Just purchased this beauty (except for the LG's software) and went on flashing CM instantly.
Rooted, installed TWRP and downloaded latest CM nightly.
Upon flashing CM, I get the following error (its saying that my device is GPE, while it isn't)
I'm currently doing Nandroid backup, just in case (even though I mostly skip it). The device software is v50020a, running 4.4.2.
Any help with this?
I have the same issue...
Did you guys follow the guide here for installing twrp on 4.4.2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551499
if you guys aren't i'd make sure i was on the latest TWRP from that thread. I just installed cM11 june 19th nightly and it flashed and works perfectly.
EDIT: i see you are on the newest twrp, but you are on an old version of CM11..could this be the issue??

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

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.

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.

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
