Installed CM 12.1 everything went fine, went to flash gapps, getting UID error

Coming from stock rooted / unlocked Touchwiz KitKat
Cm12.1 installed just fine but when I rebooted and went to flash gapps I get a non-stop error saying "there's an internal problem with your device, and it may be unstable until you factory data reset."
So I factory reset the device and even installed CM 12.1 without gapps and it still gives me this error.
Factory reset again, try my recovery and I get an error mentoning UID's being messed up (I did this and it did not help http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...on-finally-t3151579/post61729442#post61729442 ) . So I factory reset again and flashed CM 12.1 without gapps and everything is fine.
Boot into recovery and flash gapps and boom the error again. Seems like the only way to get rid of the error (After many trials and errors) is to Restore recovery -> factory reset -> flash rom. The only problem is when I also flash gapps the error comes back.
Now here is the part where I can use YOUR help, in TWRP I keep saying red text that says
"E:error opening '/data/data/com/google.android.gms/files/images/games/de7f5650'
E:error: Not a directory"
on everything I do, from formating the system to flashing a rom. I think this is where my problem lies.
Other notes: No sd card,
when CM is working, I am getting no reception (Looks like a full but has ! next to it)
When CM is working, the messaging app does not even open and just instantly closes

OK I'll break into parts I see 1: gapps 2 signal 3:msg app.
1: GAPPS
cm 12.1 is android 5.1.* so you need to verify you have correct gapps. Use gapps for 5.1 hopefully that will fix problem. Factory reset, flash cm 12.1, flash gapps 5.1, wipe dev/cache, and reboot. Should be working fine after.
2: Signal is due to rom bugs but usually due to bad/wrong apn settings or bad efs/modem pretty much all the time from my experience. So I'll break that down from easiest to the latter and hopefully we'll fix it.
a: check you apn settings and see the attachments. I'm on lte tmo so if you aren't the Google apn setting for your carrier.
b: flash back up of moden/efs
3: msg app might be fixed since gapps was installed but if not only thing I can think of is clear data/cache for msg app.
Hope I could help

these days I'd use LineageOS for the Note 3/SM-N900T (I use nightlies and my note 3 used on wifi only) I can't test the normal 2g 3g 4g or lte cuz I dont have a compatible sim card (I have a nano sim in my j7 prime so it won't fit) it takes a bigger sim so yeah......I have gapps installed for my android version and they work fine for me

lineageos 16.0 is what I've been running on it, i needed a newer os cuz stock 5.0 was the last official version, and pokemon go was dropping support for the note 3 with stock roms, now switching to LineageOS 17.1 on my note 3 i'll update whether gapps works so you know
LineageOS Downloads
download.lineageos.org
LineageOS 17.1 is android 10

btw I have sd cards in all my spare phones 8gb normally, so I am recommending a small sd card 4gb-16gb because it makes it easier to flash roms with twrp

google play works, gmail works, yt works, sound works, flashlight works, and camera works on LineageOS 17.1
note 3 sm-n900t
i used the nano gapps from opengapps
the newest file version of lineageos 17.1 on their site

Mobile data does not work anymore on my C2005

I had no problem with mobile data on official ROM but from the day I installed CM 13, I can not using mobile data anymore.
First of all, I installed CM 13 beta, then CM 13 stable and some nightly builds. Nothing changed!
I installed AOPS Nougat 7.0 Beta2 few weeks ago on my C2005.
I had "CM13-UNOFFICIAL-20160104-NIGHTLY" and data did not work, I updated it to "stable-20160527-NIGHTLY" (via cmupdater) and nothing changed. After few months, I installed AOPS Nougat 7.0 Beta2 but I can not use the data yet. I installed Nougat Beta2 via TWRP boot manager and wiped everything (all the data, cache, etc.) .
There is few weeks I've installed CM 14.1 on my C2005 and updated it to some nightly builds but the problem still exists after several months and several Android versions.
I installed CM 13 "stable-20160527-NIGHTLY" on my wife's C2005 and the data works a charm! Even I tried to flash mine to that version but problem still exists to my phone even with that version.
The only different between my phone and my wife's C2005 is that I didn't install TWRP on her phone and just installed CM13 with it's own recovery.
I tried instructions described in this link and the problem has not not solved yet.
The last thing is when I enable mobile data (SIM 1 or SIM 2) the cross mark but it does not change to H+ or other marks that shows I'm using data (attached screenshot).
Is hardware problem possible for this issue?
How can I provide CM logs for this problem to find out what's wrong with my phone?
Does someone else have such a problem?

Any idea about debugging and providing some logs?

Device-related bugs
– Dual: no internet on 2nd SIM

Also, try flashing your device with official rom 4.3 again and try using internet on it. If it works you are doing something wrong in flashing other os, if not, it's device related.

Thanks for reply. Actually I can not use data on SIM1. It's OK for me and it shouldn't be necessarily on specific SIM.
I'm looking for another way of checking data rather than reflashing to official ROM and install CM again. Something like reading /var/log/something.log in Linux distros. Is anything like that possible on AOSP or CM?

No. You can try however reflashing and clean installing aosp 7 or cm14 again, alongwith with THIS patch for dual sim users. But before you install anything make sure you are on 4.3 firmware, or you are likely going to face the same problem again.

Data works on 2nd SIM.
Thank you all for your help.
Believe it or not, the data on 2nd SIM is usable, but 1st SIM.
It could be Edge or HSPA.
As the known bugs says, data is now work on 2nd SIM, I always tried to enable data on the 1st SIM, but few nights ago I had enough free time to check all the options and finally it worked!

Do I need to downgrade pie firmwre if I were to use oreo android ?

My whyred RN5pro come with global rom miui 10 with android pie I think ?
I unlocked the bootloader and flash PE pie latest version, it required pie firmware, and I flash latest pie firmware from https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/firmware/whyred/
After usage for half year, I decided to use oreo rom, there's a few reason.
1. I thought always keep update will make it more stable and safe. But I was wrong, the more I update the PE rom, the more unstable it was. After usage a few days, it will freeze and need reboots, sometimes it slow on animation.
2. I need call recorder, but android pie restrict this function.
3. The latest build now come with wifi drop or something, sometimes my internet access is unavailable while my wifi was working fine.
After that I think a lot whether to use pie or oreo, and which custom rom suits my need ?
After reading and searching, and thinking a lot in these 3 days, I come up with a solution.
1. Because the pie keep get updating, it always got bug and some glitches stuff, and I don't have a lot of time and don't like to keep flashing new custom rom, I decided to use Oreo Custom rom final version instead.
2. After a lot of research I come upon RR, PE, havoc OS, liquid remix, lineageos, and decided on lineageos 15.1 final version as my custom rom.
3. Because I don't need a lot customisation, I think lineage os is the best for me, as I only need privacy guard, network traffic indicator, and stability.
So I changed to lineageos 15.1, here is what I do
1. wipe dalvick cache, data , internal storage
2. flash oreo latest firmware V10.3.1.0.OEIMIXM from xiaomi updater site
3. flash lineage-15.1-20180709-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip
4. flash magisk 19.3
5. flash opengapps pico
6. flash lazyflasher no verify opt ( ended up failed / error ) Because I read some user getting bootloop caused by encrypted phone or something, I don't know about this part, so I just flash lazyflasher as the instructions said for uncencrypted phone ( ended up failed / error ) ( I don't know if my phone encrypted or not, so I just flash it as additional file)
7. reboot, after getting in, it shows android encrypting, and reboot again, after a few minutes, I thought it stuck on boot loop, but finally it gets into the welcome screen. I tried reboot a few times to see if it stuck or not, but it was working fine. Tested the rom 24 hours by now, and everything seems to work fine.
What I want to ask is,
1. Does my step on changing from pie custom rom to oreo custom rom correct ?
2. lineage-15.1-20180709-UNOFFICIAL-whyred.zip Is this the final version of oreo lineageos 15.1 whyred custom rom ?
3. Sometimes I saw my sim network bar gone completely, but I can make call and check balance, and in the sim status, it show -100dbm and 99 asu. Is this normal ? Or is it because I flash wrong firmware or something ? Or is it caused by my area unstable tower network so the bar completely gone ?
4. Should I use pie or oreo firmware in this custom rom lineageos 15.1 android 8.1 ? Or it's irrelevant because the firmware is flashed by the lineageos custom rom ?
5. Do I need custom kernel ? And what's the best custom kernel for android oreo ?
Other than that, I am satisfied with everything it offers. Thanks for reading and replying.

1. Yes. I've never flashed lazyflasher though.
2. Yes.
3. If you can call, it's probably just very weak signal and the indicator goes off. Otherwise it's a bug in LOS, I doubt the firmware has anything to do with it (I'm on Oreo too).
4. Oreo.
5. No, but it wont hurt you if you try a couple - just make sure they work in Oreo firmware. I'm on KangarooX R4.4 and getting over 10 hours of SOT.

Moto Z2 Force Lineage 17.0

Has anyone tried Lineage 17.0 with Android 10.0? I have seen on lolinet
But I don't pretty sure if it's working actually,
Actually I can't test it but I wonder that someone here could prove and tell us how is working this rom

Just got done installing it, and reinstalling twrp and magisk. It works. I had to sideload it and then when rebooting to recovery, it took me to stock android recovery. I tried to reboot system and it wouldn't- it took me back to stock recoverty. I factory reset and then it booted lineage 17. Right now I'm trying to get a compatible gapps installed. Overall looks promising. New features available in developer options
Edit: Gapps nano installed, this rom has good 3d graphics- 4120 on passmark 3d test. Not sure what kernel it uses but so far no complaints. Cellular radio and wifi both work. Cricket network shows as ATT (which it actually is) and getting LTE speeds.

Awesome! I'll be testing it too, had you installed from another Lineage rom?
I'm on stock rom (I've been trying another's based on Lineage rom but actually came back to stock)

I was coming from the stock tmobile rom. latest firmware. And like you, had a custom rom installed previous to that, it was crDroid, I believe.

I decided to go back to stock, everything worked except Bluetooth, well, Bluetooth was partially functional, the only problem was that I couldn't listen to music with my Bluetooth headphones, it was a little disappointing Jaja ):

can you explain the step for installation with gapps? did you just install rom then restart recovery then install nano gapps? and gapps for 9 o 10 android?

Problems with changing the OS.

Hi. I'm trying to change the OS on my device. I've been running on MIUI 12 beta for a year now, and this phone is not getting anything new from the developers, so I wanted to change.
I downloaded Lineage OS 18 with android 11 and NikGapps, wiped the phone, installed the zips and phone reboots into TWRP.
I've tried installing by adb sideload, result is the same. I've tried Lineage 17, AOSP, Bliss OS, nothing works.
Installed the MIUI back and it works normally.
I've tried again with every rom and still nothing works.
Now I've installed Havoc OS with Gapps included into one ROM and it works, for now. But I kinda still want to install Lineage OS. Why those ROMs are not working?
