What is GAPPS?

Hi. I am planning to flash CM7 for a try. but i notice in some threads they mentioned installing GAPPS. what is this actually? an app available in market?

GAPPS stands for Google Apps... That includes stuff like the gmail app, google maps, google goggles, etc.
you can find some of these apps on the market, but not necessarily all of them. (I couldn't download gmail from the market)

Without GAPPS you have no Market, as Market is included in GAPPS.

Ic. so its apps related to Google's own app. Alright, thanks alot. x)

thanx so much for d info

Thank you for asking the question and all the answers. It helps.

And here's a link to all the GAPPS you'll ever need:

:angel: (At least I hope that's all you'll ever need!) :silly:

Use archiver program (such as 7zip, WinRar... etc) to open, delete all unneeded and flash

What's unneeded?
I happen to have a problem installing gapps, if you would be so kind as to have a look at it here, I'd be most appreciative.

I don't ever recall having to flash gapps with cm7. Please correct me if I'm wrong. However I've had to flash gapps with ICS and jellybean.

there are many unnoficial CM ROMs out there and each ROM reccommends a different set of GAPPS.
GAPSS are just a compiled list of apps and some might have calendar, some might not, every package is different.
They were made to reduce flashing time and reduce bloat, plus some regions of the world cannot use some apk's and need a localized GAPPS package (as some regions like Germany cannot download gmail and calendar fro the market)

GAPPS are not included in Cyanogen Mod because they include proprietary software developed by Google...
See Wikipedia - CyanogenMod for the whole History:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod
here's a cutout:
"Following a statement from Google clarifying its position[56] and a subsequent negotiation between Google and Cyanogen, it was resolved that the CyanogenMod project would continue, in a form that did not directly bundle in the proprietary "Google Experience" components.[57][58] It was determined that the proprietary Google apps may be backed-up from the Google-supplied firmware on the phone and then re-installed onto CyanogenMod releases without infringing copyright."

GAPPS per Android Version
In the AOSP ROMs, most famously CyanogenMod and AOKP the GAPPS are not included in the ROM.
Here you can find some info about the Recommended Package of GAPPS per Android Version:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Google_Apps
The primary mirrors for the Google Apps packages are here: http://goo.im/gapps
I hope this will help.

So I'm attempting to get the latest Cyanogen Mod for my HTC Vivid.
This is all the instructions I see and this doesnt do enough for a noob like me.
Installation Instructions
Requirements
* Rooted (obviously) -- Check
* A brain -- debatable
Installation
1: If you are coming from another ROM do a full wipe -- Did that
1a: if this is just an update to THIS ROM BASE you can simply wipe cache and dalvik cache
2: Flash gapps (download below) -- Does the Gapp have the ROM in it? I think not from reading this thread
3: Reboot --- But I havent installed the ROM yet.
4: Enjoy CyanogenMod 10.1
I've looked everywhere on this site for a HOW-to-Install a ROM guide and I cant find one anywhere in the HTC Vivid boards.
Any links would be most helpful.

Ok, so you just don't have the 2nd thing (a brain)...
Just kidding
Ok. The way you install the rom is
You have to have a custom recovery
You download the rom.zip and put that on your SD card
You go to your recovery, and do a full wipe (search what that is)
Then you install the rom.zip and boot the phone
If you are not S-OFF then you have to extract the boot.img from the rom.zip and flash that separately (search how to flash a rom when S-ON).
When you've installed the rom boot the phone.
IF you want GAPPS then go to the recovery again and install GAPPS.zip
GAPPS are just APKs and are not the whole ROM.
Now just boot the phone again.
And that's it, you're done.

Is it too late to change my name to FUBAR?
So made a TWRP back-up of my phone.
I did the wipe
I loaded Cyanogen 10.1 but it just cycled at the Cyanogen splash screen for about 15 minutes.
I pulled the battery and tried it all again.
This time I did it via the ROM Manager.
I did a backup to Clockwork Mod recovery
I wiped
But now NADA -- Just the White HTC screen.
I can get to the Bootloader screen but when I do fastboot it comes up saying No image found.
Methinks I backed up something non-existent and then flashed back to that non-existent or empty ClockWork Mod.
Is the white HTC screen symptomatic of a hard brick or soft brick?
Thanks for your response.
As the saying goes "Experience is the best teacher because it costs to much."
By hook or by crook I will NOT be a noob forever
Thanks again all - Be Well

Are you S-On or S-Off? If you are S-On, did you fastboot flash the boot.img?

I dont what S-On/S-Off is.
When I fastboot it says no img found.
I can't find my card reader but I'm pretty sure, nay hopeful, that all the images I need are on the SD card. So at this point I believe that I just need to find a way to bootload off my sd card. But I can't do that just using the phone alone because my phone has no OS on it at this point. It's just a device.
The more I write about this, the more dumb I feel

So you are S-OFF, right?
TWRP has some problems flashing some ROMs... I recommend you to flash 4EXT recovery and try flashing the ROM once again.
Yeah, you haven't bricked anything
TWRP should be able to flash the stock rooted RUU. From there install 4ext recovery and from then on install what ever you want

Havent figured out how to flash anything because my phone is just a device and no OS. All I get is the HTC white screen. When I go to flashboot it complains that there is no image. Everything I've tried from just the device has come up nil. Not restore factory settings, not anything from the bootloader menu. The device not connected to anything is poo-poo platter.
Assuming I need to find out how bootload from an image loaded on my computer with the device attached via my cord.

Flashed new rom, Now won't connect to Google

So last night i flashed a rom and when it installed i tried to add a google account. I tried to add an existing account. when i added my information it says that i couldn't sign in" there was a problem communicating with google servers." this means that i can't go into the play store. so i went into the TWRP menu to reflash a rom and it doesn't recognize the .img file that is on there. so basically right now i an app-less. any help is welcomed
i still can make calls and text, and my wifi still works. just no connection to google
my device is HTC One M8 AT&T (rooted and boot loader unlocked)
and i have a Mac computer if that helps

Delet your existing Google account from your phone.
Go into Settings > Apps > All and clear cache and data on all Google services:
Play Store, Play Services, Maps, G+ - the works.
Then restart and try again to add your Google account.

That could be it then. Something left behind from another rom install.
As a general rule, if you switch between roms - even from the same base - I would always clean install. Only updates of the same rom are ok to dirty flash.
For a clean install (if you have TWRP) just choose Wipe and swipe the button, then re-flash the rom. You will have to install your apps and tweaks again, but that's a small price to pay for everything working.

I figured it out. Basically because I used my Mac to transfer the ROM to my phone it was unzipped and that made twrp not see it as a ROM its all fixed now

CM 12 + gapps flashed but no google service and now can't flash anything.

Using Odin/towelroot/twrp I was able to flash CM12 on my tab pro 8.4 but after flashing gapps none of the google apps actually work - they all say that google play service is required. I tried flashing different gapps packages and also directly installing just the google play services APK.
I done a full wipe then attempted to reflash CM12 but the flash would just hang on "skipping md5 verification" or whatever it says and nothing is ever shown on the progress bar. Only way of getting out is to hold the power button and turn the tablet off which of course breaks it. Luckily I can use odin to flash the stock firmware and have my tablet working again. However I was very impressed with the new android and would really like to run it. Is there a way to flash CM12 with odin?
Thanks.

No help? Is it possible to use goomanager on these tablets?

Make sure you use LP gapps and not kitkat gapps.
Wipe system and factory reset / wipe data, install cm, install gapps, reboot. That is all that is needed.

I was using lp gapps. The problem is now I cant install anything from any recovery. Tried twrp and cwm with the same result, it says no md5 fou d skipping validation then just hangs there and never makes progress on the bar even after setting for some time.
The only reason my tab didnt get bricked is thankfully it was able to go into download mode and flash a stock rom with odin.

Got it flashed and this time gapps worked first try! After enable mtp it worked first try. Loving cm12 so far this is how this tablet should perform out of the box.

Could you explain how you manage to fix that ?
I'm currently having the same issue with my 8.4 tab pro wifi cm12-20150108-nightly.

I'm having the same issue here. What GAPPS APK are you guys using as well? I was on 6.5.99 (-036) and it wasn't working. I'm going to try 6.5.99 (-436) next.
Edit: flashing (-436) didn't fix it.

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.

Wow! Thank you, is it my birthday? I will flash over the next couple of days. Thank you once again.

I have just tried to flash the gapps version. I flashed with Majisk and got stuck in a bootloop for 25 minutes. Went back into recovery, went through the wipe process again and re-flashed Palladium. I got the 'successful' flash message in Twrp, but when I went to reboot it said that there was no OS installed. I was able to flash the ROM that I was on previously (Pixel) without any problems. Maybe I had a corrupted download, sadly I don't have the time to try again right now, I will try again in a few days.

Happened to me as well but i got it fixed by flashing the vanilla rom first and then let it boot, after that i rebooted back to the recovery and flashed gapps. Worked just fine. Hope this will help anyone having a similar issue

Any way to get rid of the home buttons and have a home bar instead ? Couldn't find any option like Derpfest has. Props for the great rom, I'm loving it and the battery life is just incredible.

No good for me. Whatever I try. It says that I have successfully flashed, yet when I go to reboot it says that there is no OS installed, both versions.

Make sure you have the zip files anywhere in your internal storage. But not inside a folder within the internal storage. Because whenever you wipe data,system,cache and dalvik it will also wipe the downloaded files inside the download folder.

I kept them in the same place that I kept Pixel ROM and was able to flash that afterwards. Plus the APK's that I had within that folder and the Majisk zip were fine too. Weird issue.

I was wondering whether my codeworx Twrp was maybe outdated. Can I flash Orange fox over the top of codeworx with a zip file?
Edit: Flashed Orange Fox, I'll try again.

Yesss!! Flashed it! It was obviously the recovery version that I was running. On the suggestion of @KeinePanik I flashed Orange Fox recovery and voila! (Thank you my friend)
My apologies to the developer and everyone else for flooding this thread with my issues.
I have been running the app for about 5 hours now and can report that it is really smooth, great battery life and some nice UI extras. Many thanks to the dev, will it go official?
