[Q] gApps flashed but no sign of apps or picture sync? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I just flashed CM10 for the first time last night to my UK i9300. I followed the CM wiki guide and cleared temp/cache/davorik before flashing both the CM10 image (cm-10-20121114-NIGHTLY-i9300.zip) and the gApps image.
CM10 working 'fine' however no sign of the google apps. I used "gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip". md5 hash checked out OK. I believe I also need this installed to enable picture sync with my picasaweb albums too.
Can anyone point me at the right place to start looking?
Thanks

Try the zip from goo.I'm and flash via cwm

[Q] Cannot add gmail accounts in CyanogenMOD 7.1.0

Hi, I'm new to CM7.1.0 on my Verizon Samsung Fascinate ED05. It installed fine, and I flashed the gapps available.
* update-cm-7.1.0-Fascinate-signed.zip
* gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
* gapps-gb-20110828-signed.ziip
I cannot add any accounts via Exchange. Hotmail. Live. Msn. Google. Yahoo... Nothing works. It Gives me an error:
(Setup could not finish
Unable to open connection to server.)
I'm trying to add Gmail accounts. All my contacts and calender info is backed up and synced to my Gmail. I've managed to import my contacts via vCard, and I can make phone calls, surf the internet, and text... Emails are nonexistent.
Can someone help me plz? I love CM... but it looks like I'm unable to use it?
Thank you.

Ok... it's a good thing I have Titanium Backup. I ran into the problem before so I backed up all my google services. With a little trial and error...meaning, I had to flash CM7 a few times to get the backup sequence right... not all google services can be used on CM7... I managed to fix this huge whole in CM7.
I installed:
Setup Wizard 1.3 (not included in CM7)
google backup sync (not included in CM7)
Android Market (not included in CM7)
It works so far.
I think the best place to start would be to re-flash Gapps, or if that doesn't work, try a data wipe and repeat the initial setup process. I have flashed CM7 MANY times(too many to count) and had all manner of problems getting it to run when we were still on unofficial releases but have not had any problems since the stable release. Let me know what ends up working for you.
Make sure your flashing gaaps in the right recovery. I flashed it in the wrong one and it didn't stick, so I used the power button, reboot into recovery and flashed it that way ans it worked.

Thanks guys.
I flashed originally in cwm-recovery-ALL.tar which is 2.5.7.1 I think. Orange. It's very stable and works great... but when CM7 boots up, and I go back into recovery... it's the recovery that comes with CM7 which is 5.0.2.6 Blue.
All the flashing seemed to work. I just had a hell of a time getting the Titanium Backup sequence installs on the google services that I need to get the accounts working and synced.
Thank God for Titanium backup.
I don't understand fully why CM7 won't include the google account setup wizard. Someone told me it's illegal? So what... rooting the phone voids all warrantees anyway.
Whatever. I got it working. There are still a few bugs I need to log and report, but so far... I'm finally running CM7 at 1400SetCPU.

go here and download Gapps for you and you will have all the acounts back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386680:cool:

What about Dropbox?

Hi,
i bought my S3 second hand and it had a rom on. (Wanam lite 1.0)
It didn´t have Dropbox on. Now i installed Dropbox from the market, but i didn,t get 50Gb. Neither does work the automatic photo upload.
Is there a way for me to get those features?
thx, nearly
auto upload should work, check settings, unfortunately you cannot get dropbox limit extension because original proprietary has already activated it, so it seems.
Tapatalked.
I also run wanam lite. So I had to test dropbox on this rom. You just set auto upload in settings. Worked for me.

Backup your current ROM in cwm.
Just flash a original rom from intratechs thread do a factory reset and then sign in to Dropbox during the installation screen. You should have your Dropbox allowance.
Once that is done flash any insecure kernel to get CWM back and restore you r nandroid backup. You should have your original rom with usual setup and Dropbox as well
Hope this works for you.

Yes, I had to reinstall an official rom. During the initialization wizard, signup in dropbox and wait to receive the email. After clicking on the link in the mail, your account will be upgraded. After that installing any rom will keep your account updated .

clarification on installing Omega Rom

Hi Guys
I have decided my first Rom will be Omega.. hoping I an keep it for ages as I dont relish jumping from ROM to ROM.
I have read lots of posts about Omega and the official thread but I still cant seem to find a complete step by step installation guide.
is the newest version v28? it says on the thread (Indies thread)
Please read the following before flashing v28:
1. Make sure to make and keep in a safe place an efs backup, in case you need to restore it.
Uderstood
2. If you want to flash theme or kernel, please make sure first they are compatible with Jelly Bean Omega
Understood
3. Please update Omega Files to v1.03 from Play Store More additions to v1.03 will be added soon.
I have to download the Omega Files app BEFORE flashing the ROM?
4. Get New Play Store from here: Play Store v3.9.16 - install via CWM Recovery
Fine but when do I flash this? before or after flashing the ROM
5. Contacts mod with Greek index, download from here and flash it with CWM Recovery.
Dont know what this is about?
Ok clicked the link in the sig to be taken to where the Omege Roms are, there is JB and one for ICS. i assum its the JB one i go for if i want JB
do I flash using Odin or do I boot to recover and install from SD?
currently just running stock rom..all i have done do far is rooted phone installed CWM and Titanium and busybox oh and Rom Manger

Hi
Dl the omega .zip file, then flash it via the recovery.
The kitchen app must be updated after the flash. For the playstore, it's the same flash it after.
I don't know about the contacts. Maybe someone else can help you.
Don't worry, it's very simple with this rom, moreover you got AROMA so you will be able to choose some option at the installation.

3. If this is your first Omega install, then simply update the Omega Files App through playstore once your Omega install has been complete.
4. You can flash the playstore at any point before or after. I would suggest after you have installed Omega Rom.
5. If you dont know, prolly dont need it so dont worry about it. Sorry I personally have no clue what it is.
Reboot and flash zip via SD, Very easy to install with the Aroma Installer.
thanks done now with no prolems.. i think
however even though i went for the Bloatware removal installation and i did a factory reset through cwm recovery, then wiped cache then delvik cache, under storage it says i just have 6.5gb remaining even though the list above adds up to nothing really due to bloatware removal. seems the storage for my phone prior to flashing rom is still stored somehow?
Any thoughts on why and how i can fix this?
edit just installed es file explorer and under SD card all my apps are there prior to flashing ROM, although not showing in dock
I just deleted everything manually of the SF card
is Omega v28 supposed to be only have 11GB total space even wIth the bloat ware removed.mine shows 11GB free now thought it would be n more though
I am really looking the ROM though, quite slick.

11gb sounds about right. It doesn't sound like the factory reset worked 100%.
Sounds like you got it sorted now.
Now enjoy adding themes and mods!

I am indeed
Just flashed Siyah Kernal, 15 toggles (love it), and Blue theme..
I need to just get my head around the Stweaks now so I can sensibly try some overclocking.. saw a guy on youtube who has this overclocking pull down notification with a nifty little schedule that could overclock/underclock depending on the situation. I'd love to know if that is something available through the Omega ROM?
Haven't heard of that app personally. ...
I have undervoted my phone to -50v and very impressed with battery life. Generally get 5+ hrs of screen time and 2 days on 1 charge.
Haven't tried overclocking as it runs smooth as is
Not sure which blue theme but give motomoto blue a go if your not using that 1
Sent from my Jelly Omega SIII using XDA App
Yes its Mottomoto I haev installed. love it.
the overclock app I saw that lets you set profiles is called Android Overclock from Playstore. Its not free though its £1.49. looks like the one i saw though.. havent bought it. i'll see what I can do from the Stweaks first once I figure out how to use it
Once problem and it seems the only problem I see is that the battery life has depleted to 60 % since 7am. thats just a bit of browsing and installing the Siyah Kernal and Mottomoto theme and 15 toggles.
Normally I play resource intensive games on a 40 minute commute, plus calls, internet and streaming to spotify and on stock I would have close to 80% by the 9am.. and maybe 75% by now. so seems to be depleting rather fast. All connections off, sync off and auto brightness set to minimum..
any thoughts?.. I am using the Siyah Kernel from the Omege Kitchen.

[Q] Inverted GApps flashed but not evident

First off, I'm a noob (especially to this site) so I have to post here since I don't have the requisite 10 for posting in the andr. dev. site; please bear with me.
I have flashed to BAKED 8, seems to be running fine;
I have google synced and synced on first boot, whereupon all my apps (from my last rom paranoidandroid) were downloaded and installed.
I then flashed inverted gapps from recovery via Gooim (gappsinverted-unified-jb-20130308-signed.zip) and rebooted.
Problem: It does not appear that gmail app etc. are inverted (they have white backgrounds.) Any ideas what I've done wrong?
I do know that gmail is not included in the gapps stuff,,,
Weird I know,, but you have to download that sperate

The only ROM I seen with the best working inverts is slim rom if your looking for that dark theme its built in. With a switch of a button all those apps are inverted.

Syncing issues

Did I break my Tablet...?
I am a big PACman fan and have been using the rom on every one of my devices. I am also not new to rooting and flashing procedures and have done them on different devices many times including updating hundreds of times. PACman was quiet for a while but has started up again since August, so I was really looking forward to that until I had following problem:
1. Installed the newest rom with a factory reset beforehand.
2. Setup the device as usual.
3. Opened gmail --> Stuck on "Getting your messages"
4. Tried calendar, contacts and google music without success, as they display neither my music, contacts nor my calendars.
5. Drive and Maps are working though...
I have now done the following:
- Reverted all the way back to stock 4.1, rooted and upgraded to 4.4.2 stock.
- Flashed boot.img from PAC rom and installed it with gapps. Everything went perfectly.
- Added my google account during the setup process, opened gmail --> stuck on "getting your messages"
- Added a second google account, which is also not syncing.
Before this I already tried using different gapps (PA, CM, Banks), doing a playstore and play services reset. I am really not new to this and this is the 5th device I own that I rooted and installed custom roms on. My phone has PAC and is working flawlessly. I'm really lost here and would appreciate any ideas or help.
Rom versions I tried: nightly from 12th, 18th and 323rd with clearing cache and dalvik after install.
Gapps: Banks, CM and PA gapps 11th, 18th
When installing AOSB project, everything works flawlessly!
Something I am missing here? Please help!! This is getting so frustrating...
PS: Here are three screenshots of how it looks like (weird is that there are no timestamps in the sync tab)

the problem is in P.A.C ROM builds or in Gapps.

PAC rom can't be the problem, as all other users report no errors. I have tried different Gapps (always checked MD5 sums...) and this issue doesn't resolve. I am looking for any new ideas on the issue.
Personally I cannot explain the issue myself
So if anyone has an idea, please help!
Search for another boot.IMG, there have been issues with the cm boot and wifi modules, maybe the same with the PAC boot.IMG low/ connectivity would explain the lack of sync time stamps
