I am trying to install the G Harmony ROM with BL 1.2[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007455]. The install of the ROM itself is very smooth. After flashing the ROM, I tried to flash the G-apps using the file provided in the OP. The install went on smoothly. On reboot, however, I don't see any Google apps in the system anywhere. Indeed, even Titanium Backup, which was working well before I flashed the G apps, tells me I am not rooted. I tried wiping data,cache,dalvik and fixing permissions, but same result every time. I even tried flashing the CM7 G-apps, but same results. Any ideas, anyone ?
I am in the identical situation with BL1.1 or 1.2. about to try Cyanogen just to see if it's my tablet or not.
Just tried the latest cyanogen mod 7.0.3 and latest gapps. No Gapps or market from that ROM either. Dunno what we are doing wrong. Do we have to wipe our Internal SD's? I used gapps-gb-20110613-signed from cyanogen...and still no apps/market.
I also just tried wiping my SD card (internal), and formatting system. Had to nvflash back to stock. Atttempted G-harmony again. Same results. No apps will install from GoogleApps-GRJ22. It's really strange, the install appears to go fine from clockwork, then there is just nothing there.
Here is what I did to get gapps.
install rom, run it once.
innstall gapps, run it, and the screen will ask for gmail account and password
after failing to connect, its going to ask if you wanna connect by wfi..
done deal.

@hungrymr2 - that is what is not happening. After flashing the ROM, I am flashing the G-apps. I would normally expect to see the google set up screen on reboot, but there is nothing - no set up screen, no G-apps.
Interesting, i think it happened to me before. I had to reinstall the rom or a different one.

Went back to CM7 for now.
Looks like the matter has come to the attention of the dev. Hopefully there will be a resolution soon.
Make sure you clear dalvik code and cache. Might be a good idea to format the internal sd as well. Just good practice to clear everything each time you install a new rom.
Hello guys,
I tried the new version gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip with CM10, but it is not recommended. The playstore will not work anymore and the keyboard process will stop.
Question, flash doesn't work in the browser? I installed gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip several times but still flash is not working.
Somebody any idea how to solve this?

Hi,
Managed to solve this issue by reinstalling the previous gapps and then reinstalling the firmware. Hope this info helps.
gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip - I also had problem with this update

I also had problem with this update!!!!!!!
Problem with 28 Nov. GooManager received update for Jandycane 1.8
(updates jandycane 20121020 and gapps 20121011 done on 09/11/12)
........................
On 28 November GooManager automatically downloaded the following: gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
On the 29 November I flashed this on my first gen. Kindle Fire
As follows:
first did a Backup then wiped Cache and Dalvik and then started update - gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
after starting update got a Dalvik cache Directories wipe complete message (then)
Verifying Filesystem....
Verifying partition sizes...
Install ........ gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip
Finding update package
installing
......
......
(and finally)
Installation Complete!
(then once again under this the texts)
Verifying Filesystem....
Verifying partition sizes...
But there it seems to have stopped (completed?)
And under in TWRP I have the options: Wipe Cache/Dalvik - Home - Reboot System
I decided to choose Reboot system
The following happened:
I got a message "upgrading Android apps"
then it started in the normal ("turning mirror bits") loading window
then the usual password window
but the keyboard wouldn’t open!!! I couldn’t get past the password window
also I notice that the WLAN was no longer on/active (it had been on during the process)
I tried several reboots – still the same
I eventually decide to do a restore of Backup – this was successful!
I have no idea what is or went wrong
Is there something wrong with this gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip it certainly seems like it?????????
Any other experiences?
I've had the exact problems you both describe running a clean flash of nightly with CM10 on a Nook Color. Everything is great until gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip is loaded, then keyboard is disabled, crashes, etc.
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121128-signed.zip appears to have been removed from goo.im

Hi, and thanks for replying - now I know for sure it wasn't me that screwed up, wasn't sure!
Glad to hear that it has been removed - but that's really bad - sending out a really bad update like that - lucky we didn't end up with Bricked devices - really frustrating and not a nice thought at all - I'm really grateful for whoever it is that does all this work...but...putting something like that out ... that is scary ........ don't know if I will now trust the next download(s)!!!!!!!!
who is it that does these gapps anyway?
I had Viper 1.0.1 working. It wasn't broke but I tried to put Viper 1.1.0 on the phone. I keep getting the message "Unfortunately system UI has stopped " I have no status bar and no pull down for notifications.
I have dirty flashed, clean flashed, tried different kernels, fixed permissions, different download.
Any ideas?????
I have restored the previous version for the time being.
TIA
Dave
I had the same problem, and couldn't fix it until I updated to the latest version of CWM recovery. Even if you think that you have the latest version, find the thread for it and re-flash it anyway. Then, do a FULL wipe, install Viper, then install the suggested kernel and see if it works, only after that, then try other kernels if you want to.

you need to be sure to do a full wipe, because that is what happens when you dont

I will switch recovery to CWM, even though I don't like it, even from T'bolt days. I DO realize that the recovery will affect the Rom installs

Overnight I decided a complete wipe was in order. I also noticed something with the quick settings and notifications that is different. The quick settings scroll across the top of the notification menu and the page is skittish.
Time to back up all storage items.
Thanks for the responses.

If this solves the problem, please post back. I've seen two instances of it so far (one from twrp, one an early version of cwm) and I'm interested to see if these were isolated events or actual problems with the recoveries.

I installed the latest version of CWM and reflashed Viper. So far all looks good. Also one other issue has cleared up, unmounting the USB drive no longer causes apps to stop. The only other change I made was from ES File explorer to Root Explorer.
The recovery causing issues also surfaced with the Thunderbolts. CWM was the villan in those instances.:fingers-crossed:
Hi,
I was running a cm 13 ROM on my Galaxy S 3 i9300. With Google Play. But after installing several ROMs it's gone. I have the same ROM but when I now install it it comes without Gapps. How come? Is there a way to switch them off/on somewhere so they won't get installed?
How to get it back? I have tried to intsall Google Play separately but none seam to work. Google services just keeps crashing.

If it comes without GApps, you can try flashing them... http://opengapps.org/
To check your type of processor, you can try using Droid Info(this one is better I think) or CPU-Z. Since you don't have Play Store, probably APK mirror is a choice.
If this is not what you want, please explain yourself better.
( I am assuming you have a custom recovery to flash OpenGapps, since you tried several ROMs)
I have Clocworkmod recovery (if this answers the question). Since I rooted the phone, I have only tried like 3-4 different CM ROMs. Only one of them came without Google. Others came with Google. But few days ago when I flashed the same ROMs several times I suddenly didn't get Google anymore. How come if it's the same ROM file?
Thanks for the links, I'll check the out later. Gotta run ATM.

That seems very strange, since its the same file. Did you tried downloading and reflashing the zip again? Something weird could have happened, resulting in a corrupted file.
By the way, I just noticed that CWM 6.0.4.7 and 6.0.4.5 have some problems with the OpenGapps, according to their FAQ(section 5)

Opengapps was what I needed! And it worked. Thanks!
But yeah, I was certainly flashing same ROM files. First few times I got Google and at some point not anymore. I did not download new zip files in the meantime. I don't even remember where I did I get one of them. I have noticed a similar thing some time ago that flashing the same ROM gave me a little different outcome. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was something like although I wiped cache and user data, I still had all my settings in place after flashing.

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.
