[Q] Which version of GApps? CM11

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

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

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

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.

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.

Dual boot : Gapps not working

I made a thread on reddit but nobody is answering so I'll try my luck here.
Everything is working except gapps when I flash them in dual boot patcher. It flash ROM successfully but then I flash gapps nano version but I get error 70 even though I have plenty of space so I move the ROM and gapps on Data partition and there was no error. So I reboot to Crdroid ROM but there's always this sing that :,, Google play stop working,, and It close everytime I try to open it. I also tried Pico version but with the same result. I installed 6.0 arm version of gapps.

OPEN GAPPS ERROR (Arm64 - 6.0 - Aroma)

Installed on 3 different Roms (Dark Unicorn (unofficial), Bliss Rom and Paranoid. All 3 Roms boot fine, but when I install Gapps I get the " Unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped" or with the Paranoid install I got the "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" error.
This the 6-30 and 6-29 versions.
Has anyone run into this issue and if so, were you able to fix it? If so, how?!?!

You must flash the Gapps and the ROM at THE SAME TIME to make it work

it worked, thank you
