Hello,
Long time reader of the forums but this is my first post so be gentle if i'm just being thick!
Basically i've rooted the phone, flashed CM 7.1 and that works fine but no google app appeared so I downloaded the google apps for 7.1 and flashed that, it installs with not problem but then once it boots there's no market, gmail, maps...so it installs but they don't actually install?
Has anyone had a similar issue? Am I just doing something wrong? Tried wiping data and reflashing but also not working...please help...it's driving my crazy!
Thanks in advance!
Are you sure clockwork recovery shows message
Code:
Install complete
?
Or it spits out some error. Cause it it sounds like flashing fails.
You could as well try extracting that zip file and plainly installing APK's from SD card? Should work.
OK, I know this has been asked and asked again, but I have been reading and digging and googling for several days now, and cannot find a solution.
I've got a JB S3 At&t, and wanted to root it, so after reading for a few weeks, I got the "Samsung_Galaxy_S3_ToolKit_v7.0", donated, and got 7.2 (newest version). I flashed with the toolkit to get an unsecured boot image, with SuperSU 1.04, busybox, and TWRP .
Root happened fine. The phone booted, and when I went to open SuperSU (the icon was in my apps), it asked to update the binaries. I said yes, it failed, and the app opened anyway to allow me to access the options. Triangle away worked fine.
The update binaries thing was bugging me, so I updated to SuperSU 1.10 via google store, and the same thing happened, but now I could not access the program after the binary update failed. It still works (triangle away asks and gets permission) but I could not access the program any longer. It just closes after it informs me that updating the binaries failed.
I have tried installing the program as an app, pushing an APK, and installing a zip from recovery. No matter what I do, it ends up the same.
I have also re-flashed the boot several times, and tried a different method using Odin directly and CF-Root. (seems to be the only way to uninstall it) I have tried numerous combinations, but to no avail. I feel like I have done everything I know how to do short of an unroot to stock and try again.
Any helpful suggestions are welcome.
I'd like to be able to use the program, but this is turning into an OCD nightmare. I'd post this in a development forum, but do not have enough posts yet.
Install "SuperUser" from the market. Manually delete SuperSU from /system/app. Reboot. Reinstall SuperSU from play store and binaries should install fine...

Thanks. I ended up doing it the hard way. (I swear I had auto email notification enabled here, or I would have seen your post and tried it)
Anyway, I cleared caches/userdata/wipe cache partition first, then flashed a stock unrooted 4.1.1 rom from here,
Then I used CF-autoroot, and low and behold, SU was showing up as an app. (it was not previously when I used CF-AR)
I let it update itself and bam, it works! Installed adbd insecure, and it works too. (it was not showing up as an app when I did it before either)
Next I added TWRP 2.4.3.0. and everything still works!
Either the stock AT&T rom on this unit had something interfereing with root, or the root image I used in the toolkit has an issue. I'm leaning towards a toolkit issue since when I used it and it installed TWRP 2.4.1.0, I could not get into recovery, just a black screen.
I lieu of this, I'm limiting my use of the toolkit.
Curiously, the toolkit also allows a sideload via TWRP/CWM, but does not provide a driver. Windows 7 cannot recognize the phone in recovery mode with a custom recovery installed, although it does when a stock recovery is. I have yet to find a driver.
So i am at a bit of a problem here and i cant figure it out.
I have installed both CM11 from 04/24/14, and tried the 4/08/14 Experimental build, both with the latest GApps zip file for CM11 from
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
The install seems to go fine, CM11 works, i can get wifi, connect to google account, gmail, internet, hangouts everything works..
Except Play Store...it crashes every time. Ive tried everything i can think of, those things include
Run the installed one from Gapps, it starts and i can see the initial disclaimer i have to accept then it crashes.
Download Google Play store apk and push it via ADB install, doesnt load.
Use GAppManager, the instant i select a version of GApps to install it crashes.
Try flashing an earlier version of GApps(For ICS) from KFFAide, doesnt work..
Go into Apps, find Google Play store that comes from the flashed GApps and clear its cache...
Ive tried flashing just CM11, booting it, then going back into TWRP and flashing GApps
Tried clearing dalvik/system and every other TWRP wipe except internal
Im really out of ideas...any help would be great nothing i do seems to do it...
I also tried flashing back to a version of 10.2 Experimental for KF HD but it just fails immediately when i try.

Try the GAPPS from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 find which ones you want to use and then choose goo as the download place. Then get a slightly older Gapps. I'm using a set from 1-23-2014 and have had zero issues. They will update anyway so having today's 0 day Gapps is not a huge deal. If you want mini Gapps, here is the link http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps-mini/older versions

I've been using the latest GApps ("stock" experience) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942 and it works great. It will error out some apps the first time with a notification that you must update Google Play Services to continue. Sign in and update Google Play Services through the store and everything works like a champ.
A bonus of using the PA GApps package (if you want all those apps at all) is that they install to /system and don't use up as much /data space. Maybe not an issue for many, but every little bit helps right?
Keep in mind that the "stock" (i.e. Nexus-esque) package will remove the AOSP Browser, Messaging, and Keyboard. As long as you're good with Chrome, Hangouts, and Google Keyboard, this (again) saves you storage. If you prefer the AOSP apps, read the thread for how to keep them or install one of the other packages from the thread.
It turns out the issue is unrelated to Google apps, ANY application i use and try to download with will crash.
Try to grab an attachment from Gmail, crash
Try to download a file via Chrome, crash
Try to download via Play store, crash
I have no idea what the hell is causing this ive checked my Download and Downloader apps they are both running, ive tried restarting them, disabling them, and many other things...
At this point how do i return my Kindle to a "Stock" Kindle Fire HD as if i bought it from the store?
I may need to return it, im wondering if this is a hardware issue? Doesnt make sense though because everything else seems to work, i can go view internet stuff so the wifi isnt bad, and i can copy files to it via USB so the storage isnt bad...

I decided to update my phone from CM13 to CM14.1 the other day without having read anything about CM14 and not realising how new it was (yes I know, stupid thing to do!).
So after the update I've had nothing but problems with google services not working properly, so I uninstalled google services from the apps menu within the phone, downloaded the Android 7.1, ARM, Stock version of GAPPS from opengapps.org and booted my phone into TWRP and flashed the newest version of gapps.
This fixed the issue with google services not responding, however now none of my apps work.
Anytime I try to load an app such as facebook, email, browser. My phone will freeze for several minutes and then the app will just tell me its stopped responding.
Does anybody have any advice on what to do? (I dont care if the result is that I have to wipe the phone and lose everything on it, just want my phone to work again!)
Edit: an additional piece of info, any time I try to do something that requires root access (for example moving an app to my SD card) my phone will tell me that I don't have root access, even though I must because I'm using cyanogenmod...

Try doing a clean flash of the rom along with the respective gapps package. You have to flash the rom and gapps together. And for the root issue, you have to first turn ON root from the developer options in settings.

Scrap this, solved the additional problem I was having.
Thank you for your assistance, all is working well now
Hi guys, is there a way to change the carrier name? The correct name for my carrier is "telecom Italia spa", not "... Italiz spa". Thanks in advance.
Hi there. Has anybody built a ROM with the following specs?
- based on stock 14.6.A.1.236 (android 5.1.1)
- pre-rooted
- all security patches added, e.g. patches for those 10 critical bugs that have just been fixed
It is not stock but aosp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/orig-development/rom-jaguar-amami-lp5-1-1-r37-hardened-t3396713
In Jaguar you get all the patches within 1 or 2 days. I am using it atm.
Alright, I just switched to Jaguar.
But it wasn't easy. Dual recovery with Philz & TWRP 2.8.x defended itself very persistently. Installing TWRP 3.0.2 had no effect - neither in recovery partition nor in FOTA kernel. Even the uninstall zip of dual recovery couldn't wipe TWRP 2.8.x, although the script said it had run successfully. So I kept installing images into different partitions in fastboot mode (which was the only mode that kept working all the time). In the end TWRP 3.0.2 suddenly appeared after 3 hours.
In Jaguar it was also a bit fiddling to get AFWall+ working. Optimumpro's dowload has a rather old version, which kept blocking all traffic. But after removing it and installing the current v2.9.1 it worked. Now I've installed all apps I need. Everything seems to work except for Gmail. That one always crashes on start. Its background process also steadily crashes, so every other minute I see a popup that tells me "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped". Clearing cache and data has not solved the problem. Stopping sync had no effect either. Maybe re-installing the gapps.zip in TWRP will help...
I also had problems to install TWRP 3.0.2 persistantly. My solution was to install Philz TWRP 2.8 and inside TWRP 2.8 I flashed 3.0.2. After that only 3.0.2 TWRP was available.
OptimusPro pointed out that Internet is only working if you allow apps in AFWall.
I switched AFWall+ from white-listing to black-listing and put nothing on the list, so currently everything can access the internet. And that's also what I tried in the older version of AFWall+, but it didn't work there.
One more question: where did you find the zip (for installation in recovery) of TWRP 3.0.2? I can only find img files for installation with fastboot.
I think in optimuspro version he disabled it?
you do not need a zip. In TWRP 2.8 go to INSTALL and there should be a button "Install Image" Then you can load and flash an img file.
Oh, I didn't know that you can flash img files in some recoveries. However the only partition I can select in TWRP for installation is /boot. Well, I proceed with the installation just for the fun of it... (some minutes later)... and yes, it has really overwritten /boot. That's not where a recovery belongs.
Anyway, now I can hopefully solve my problems. I use a lot of Google applications, but I guess I took a package that overwrote some files in /system that are not compatible with the rest of optimuspro's ROM. So I just flash everything again, but this time with a smaller gapps package. Let's give "micro" a try...
edit: No, that was not the solution. Gmail is still crashing.
Which opengapps version are you using?
I use arm, 5.1, pico. And then I just download the gapps from the play store.
I do not have gmail account, so I cannot test gmail. It is strange that it is not working. I meand it is just a mail app or is it so deep diving in the system?
First I tried gapps "stock". Now I see that this package was too big, because it not only installed a bunch of apps I don't need, it also removed SlimPie launcher, the camera app, and the mail app that comes with Jaguar. I guess it also removed some more apps... probably every app that could be replaced by a Google app.
Now in the 2nd run I used gapps "micro". It looks like none of the Jaguar apps have been removed. Gmail still came with the gapps package, but now it has been installed side by side with the mail app that comes with Jaguar. The same for the launcher. And of course I had to install some apps in play store (e.g. maps), which were not included in the package.
Well, I'm not sure if I like the Jaguar ROM. Sure it has the right priorities. But aside from gmail I might have found some more problems. I installed Automate in order to automatically turn on/off wifi when coming home/leaving home. Turning wifi off (and using cellular data) works fine, but when coming home and wifi is being enabled AFWall+ blocks wifi traffic. So far I could manage to unblock wifi only by activating/deactivating airplane mode (or rebooting of course). And there might be problems with WhatsApp as well. Sometimes I don't receive messages until WhatsApp has been opened. Maybe the background process doesn't run or it is not able to receive data, even over wifi. Maybe AFWall+ is blocking traffic again... or some security defaults are blocking WhatsApp. I don't know. Threema doesn't seem to have the same problems, it works very well on Jaguar.
Whats App is working for me withour problems. And AFWall+ runs normal.
But yeah, I would say that custom roms are always trickier than stock roms. But for me Jaguar is the only rom where I can say, that I am on best security level. So I can live with the issues I have.
I realized that I need to do the gps fix which is mentioned in th main thread.
