I just downloaded the latest cm7 nightly and I am trying to install the latest gapps as well and it appears that it installs successfully (meaning I don't get any errors) but when the phone boots back up I don't have any google apps installed. ie, no market, maps, etc...
Anyone else having this issue?
My apologies guys. I went back into ROM Manager and selected the option to install cwm and selected VibrantMTD and then selected cwm v3.x and reinstalled gapps and it works likes a champ now...
Was hoping someone can give me some insight here because I am at a loss. I have tried countless times to get Gapps to work with Cyanogenmod 7 but the market nor any of the Google apps show up. The ROM installs fine but after flashing the Gapps package it doesnt show(yes I'm positive I'm using the right Gapps file) I have wiped everyting cache/data/dalvik, tried using the format.zip and nvflash to start with a fresh tab, that didn't work. I've tried installing Cyanogen 6 first, but for some reason that just results in a boot loop. If anyone has this problem or knows what the probelm could be it would be greatly helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help
After booting are you connecting to your WiFi access point?
Market doesn't show until you are connected to WiFi, then it will install the apps directly from the Market.
Yup Ive connected to WIFI, let the ROM run for a bit, restarted countless times. I just cant figure it out. I dont get the account setup screen either, it just goes straight into the ROM itself.
And after you connected to your WiFi did you open the app drawer and click on the Market to launch it?
At this point it should ask for your Google account, ask what Gapps from the market you want installed and then do it.
Thats the problem, the market icon doesnt exist for me to open, none of the google apps show up even though it installed successfully in clockwork.
None of the google apps will show up, though Market should, if you installed the Gapps package and are connected to WiFi.
The Gapps.zip just installs the Market and some of the supporting/needed libraries and files for accessing the Market (plus some other stuff).
Connected to WiFi, launching the Market initializes the Google sign in and the "other stuff" that lets you pick the Google Apps you want installed. It then downloads them from the Market itself.
EDIT:
What version of CM7 are you running and what Gapps package are you installing?

I installed 7.0.3 stable with the 20110307 gapps package.
I'm telling you nothing comes up to install market or any other google apps. I must have installed the ROM about 30 times now. Probably gonna end up being something stupid I'm leaving out.
Have both the Rom and Gapps on your device.
Boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery and do a factory reset, then advanced and wipe davlik cache
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the ROM and install, do NOT reboot.
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the Gapps and install
ReBoot device, connect to WiFi before doing anything else.
Market should appear when you open the app drawer. Launch it to continue.
It's been a while......but I walked my sister through it via email a few weeks ago back...

Ive tried this, it either results in a bootloop or just doesn't work but I'll give it another shot when I get home. Thanks
Try flashing a different rom along with gapps see if that works. If it does then reflash your CM7 rom along with gapps & retest, hopefully it works, if it doesn't maybe trying one of the nightly builds might work.
Did you pull the gapps file from the Cynogenmod website?
Gapps link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Getting same thing my self, so don't feel alone.
I am in the same boat. Have gone so far as to do a full NVFlash restore. Gapps will not show. Appears to install without error via recovery but it just isn't there. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

The fix....eject any microSD cards you have in your device. Plug in usb. Copy update.zip to root. Enter CWM and flash update.zip. Since Cyanogen Mod messes up file structure for some reason external SD card becomes internal and tweaks the device out. If that does not work, nvflash and reinstall CM without an sd card in the device. Hope this helps.
Thanks fosser2...
What I did,
Pulled SD card
Loaded CWM update.zip and recovery folder/file
NVflashed as I was back running V5.1 again.
Vol + power to flash CWM
use CWM to flash CMod 7.0.3
then flashed Gapps
When Cmod loads, I now see the google account and ability to install all the gapps.
Thanks again, Now I can give this rom a spin. I really like Robeets HC, but it was not stable enough for everyday yet. V5.1 has bee running great, but the Netflix on GB brought me to GB.
Having same issue
I keep trying to install google apps but the market, gmail, etc, are not appearing on my screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am having the exact same problem.
Help!
I recently flashed 2.9.28 miui to my evo3d, after a while goo manager prompted me to update to 2.9.29. I did that and everything is running fine however goo manager is prompting me to update to 2.9.29 again. Is this normal, or is there another update i need to do?
Try clearing the data and cache of the goo manager app. Go into settings/applications/goo manager and you'll find it. Clear the notification. Then open goo manager again.
I did that now it says no updates for your rom were found, so i'm as up-to-date as possible for miui?
You should be. If you want to, verify in your settings/about phone that your number matches the one that you were updating to.
Nexus 5 just updated to CyanogenMod v13 based on Android v6.
After the updat got the dreaded "Google Play Services has stopped working" spaming error dialogue.
Tried wiping cache, Dalvik cache etc. No help. Unable to uninstall the app (Uninstall button greyed out). No updates to app that I can uninstall either. Tried to install the latest .apk of Google Play Services to install over the top - no dice. Install button for side-loaded apps is greyed out. Uninstalled Google Play store. Went to install side-loaded .apk of same. Blocked by greyed out install button again. Only thing I can think of to get around it is to install from zip via TWRP recovery?
Unable to copy files directly from PC either - blocked by "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected" error. Tried both with and without USB debugging.
Please help >.<
I have tried all the fixes I've seen in the forums. Nothing is working.
I have: Verizon HTC One M9, s-off, rooted, CM 13 (07/12/16). I put on this morning and all seems fine. Then I tried flashing the GApps nano package from https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_himawl, which told me to go to: http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano. I first tried the ARM but it would not install so I tried the ARM-64. It Did install and Gapps seems to be working fine technically...but it keeps crashing (Meaning play store works). I keep getting an error that says "Unfortunately Google Play Services has stopped" and if I look at the dump it starts with "java.lang.securityexception" and location provider requires ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION permission, on the file com.google.android.gms.
Of course I tried enabling not just location but all the permissions and it has no effect.
Does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you very much.
Joe
FIXED:
What I did: First, I introduced a bunch of new variables at once which is not the best thing to do normally but I needed to get it done if possible. The basic theory was just "reinstall everything with a tweak."
1.) Use this to put TWRP and CM back on (ie. pretend like you're starting from scratch). Use the latest build of CM so it doesn't have to update.
2.) Every time you get a chance, delete the DVLIK cache and regular cache.
3.) As soon as CM is done installing, install the Gapps package right over top of it without rebooting. Kill the caches again. And yes I used the 64bit ARM version for the "HTC One M9 Verizon."
Reboot...and you should get the Google assistant. It seems like CM wanted that package at first-run possibly.
