I didn't see this posted yet so I had to ask, has anyone else had trouble with the play store? Every time I want to open the play store it says that there is no connection. I've tried it on perfect 3G and WiFi with the same results. The app will start and then it will show my email address and some options but at the same time it says there's no data connection. I'm on the stock ROM ROW 124. I've noticed many instabilities with this ROM, but this is the worst problem so far. Apart from that the next worst is that it often stalls, sometimes up to 15 to 20 seconds. Often that happens when changing apps or starting an application.

Well like I said it's a strange problem, but it's a problem that I have nonetheless. And every time it happens I have to reinstall the ROM to fix it. I tried clearing out recently installed apps and the dalvic and such with no luck. So after three weeks of the problem I decided to post this question. Which ROM would you suggest for the most stability and battery life?

I've had a lot of trouble trying to switch to the Chinese base and even more trouble trying to switch back. Which is the best for row with 8gb internal memory?
I had this problem on the AOSP 1.8 China. The GAPPS that i used are for 4.4.2, you should look for the one of your Android Version.
I know that the rom is different, but here there are my steps for the INSTALLATION of AOSPand to solve the ISSUE ABOUT GOOGLE ACCOUNTS, i think it should work even for your rom:
- I installed Vibe UI with Flashtools, just booted to check it then I rebooted in recovery. I didn't put any google account on it.
- From recovery I installed the AOSP 1.8 4.4.2
- At the first boot I get this 2 messages: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and I can't go on seting up the phone.
- Back in recovery tried a wipe to factory settings, it works, so I enter in the O.S.
Then
- Once in the O.S. I cant get to login in my Google Accounts, I get "there was a problem communicating with Google Servers"
- Back in recovery tried another wipe to factory settings, it DOES NOT works.
- From recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the AOSP 1.8, it DOES NOT works.
- Downloaded the GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip, it DOES NOT works.
- So i was tired, and I installed from recovery SLX v26a CHINA.
- In SLX v26 I tried to log in with Google Play, and I logged in with success.
- Back in recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the SLX v26 china.
- Booting the AOSP 1.8, Google Play icon and files exist, but in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT there is no option to put a Google Account (only standard EMAIL ICON) and if you try adding it from Google Play, it crashes.
- Again, back in recovery, I Installed again GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip
- Still in recovery, I tried a Wipe to Factory
- Back in the O.S. I tried to add an account in Settings->Accounts, and finally it works.
I found GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip on XDA but i cant remember the address of the discussion. Mine was of size of 47.4 MB not the one of 50 MB, the second ones gave me an error in recovery.
Here there is the file from my GDrive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwGOPBqfPRJXUzJvc0JOT2NfYlU/edit?usp=sharing

Well I'm not getting any force closes. I'm on the stock ROM that I bought it with. It's just rooted and TWRP recovery. I want to try the Vibe UI ROM but getting the darn thing to switch to a China base has been killer. So I don't know how this could be a gapps problem as I never had to flash gapps on this unit. If you know an easy way to flash over to a version of kitkat on an 8 gb set I would be very grateful for your imput. I think that my trouble is coming from the OS 4.2.1. I like Droid 4.3. It's still jelly bean but it's better than 4.2.1. I read on the Chinese site that version 124 is unstable, But I've had a horror of a time changing it.

Hey guys, I tried to flash the HTC One Stock rom ported to my DNA, which “bricked” my phone. I was stuck on the white HTC boot screen when I tried to boot, and was only able to go into the bootloader (CWM recovery would not boot). I have S-OFF, HBOOT, unlocked bootloader, root access. I then tried flashing the team win recovery, which worked, but also would not boot. After continuing to get frustrated, trying to run RUU (failing because my battery was below 30%), I did some more research and tried “fastboot clear cache”, then tried booting into recovery – tada! So now I was in recovery, cleared all my cache/data, flashed the CM 10.2.1 zip and the latest PA Gapps I had stored on the phone. Everything went clean and Cyanogenmod booted up.
Now, however, the Play Store will not open (connection error, “retry”) and Hangouts will not connect. Any ideas? I’ve tried clearing Google Play Services data, Hangouts data, Play Store data, rebooting, toggling airplane mode, removing and re-adding my google account. Also, I’m getting sync errors for my google account. Any help here would be appreciated.
Most of the other Google apps I’ve tried work fine and have all my data, including Maps, Gmail, Keep, Search/Now, Play Music, etc.
It may also be important to note that the phone is currently not attached to a number (I re-activated my old iPhone 4s so I can at least have a phone for the time being). I do have wifi access.
Thanks.
Try This
Everytime that happened to me it always ended up being because it was either an outdated version of GAPPS or it wasn't a minimal gapps install. What i recommend is to look up version of android you're running, google "*your android version 4.x.x* minimal gapps.zip" I always go minimal because having all of the extra play apps and google services isn't necessary and can cause issues with certain roms, plus dat battery drain is rough compared to a minimal gapps install. After this has happened and it still hasn't worked, let me know :good:

I tried two different "minimalistic" gapps - one was 15mb and the other ~60mb. For the 15mb one, my keyboard didnt work and I had the same google connection issues with the other one.
The latest pa gapps on 10.2.1? Do you mean the latest 4.3 gapps or did you accidentally use the kitkat ones? If you used the kitkat ones it would definitely cause problems like that. My suggestion: just flash the latest cm11 and pa gapps. I think you'll be much happier with it anyway.

Hey, been a little to busy to troubleshoot this. My problems began when I flashed a snapshot build of CM11 for the DNA. There is no "Stable" release on their downloads page yet: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=dlx&type=.
I did find this guy though: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714425
Should I try flashing this? Also, I was reading that you need new radio firmware for Kit-Kat. Is this true? I tried to flash the latest radio through fastboot but it gave me an error that had something to do with an unknown device ID.
Let me know your input, thanks.
Update:
I Flashed C-Rom 6.5 (Android 4.4) and the 4.4 PA Gapps and still had the same exact issues as before:
Play Store Connection issue
Hangouts connection issue
Other google connection issues
No 800 MHz cell band connection (device said Voice was Out of Service when I put my phone number back on). 700 MHz LTE, however did work.
Can't get adb to see my device, but fastboot can.
Corrupted model id and serial number.
So with all these issues above, the corrupted model id and serial number are what I've been mainly trying to tackle. I've read about fastboot flashing the ENG HBOOT and changing the model id that way, but I cannot flash zips in fastboot because of the corrupted model id (give the model id check error and fails). I'd be completely satisfied at this point with running RUU and getting onto the stock 4.4 update that came out. However, when I run the RUU.exe, it says it can't see my device and when I try to flash the RUU hboot, radio, and recovery zips, obviously the model id check will fail. I've since factory reset and flashed CM10.2.1 back onto the phone because C-Rom 6.5 was very laggy. The phone is pretty much just a wifi device now and I have to download apps via apk's in the browswer and manually update everything.
Anyone have any ideas on getting the model id and serial number back to normal? Really starting to get tired of my cracked iPhone.
Welcome to wilson3q's CM12 Unoffical Build!
As requested by some users, I started to build cm12 for I605. I don't own a I605, please help to test. If you like my work, you can donate here.
Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for bad things that happen as a result of flashing this.
My kernel source is standard cm12 kernel without any modifications.

Always nice to see a new thread for i605. This doesn't happen often. Thank you!
Thanks again for building this for us we all appreciate it!
will be testing this out and see how it spars. thanks for this! I was going to try and "port" it over from the t0lte with replacing some libs and such, lol.
Thank you! I'm downloading right now. Looking like a slow day at work, so why not?
Downloaded files. Backed everything up. Rebooted to recovery. Wiped / Factory Reset using TWRP. Installed both zips sequentially. Apprehensive when I rebooted. Took a couple of minutes of sweating watching the CM Logo swirl around, and then bam! I'm up and running Lollipop. I'll update soon...

So, I've got it up and running. It's fast and smooth, but there's a couple of glaring issues stopping me from testing any farther. The first screen that comes up after you initially select your language, is a new (to me) "Activating Cellular Service" screen. It has a message on the screen saying this "can take up to 5 minutes". I let it go for longer than that, but I got an error that it was unable to activate and I was able to try again, or skip it. I'll skip it for now just to see how the rest of the ROM works. Next screen is Wifi login, works fine., but you still have to hit "skip" even after you sign in to wifi.
Then it checks connections, for updates, etc and I keep getting the error that google play services has stopped. I haven't even logged into it yet...
Next screen is Tap N Go. Option to transfer all of your stuff off your old phone using NFC. Great idea, but I'm not testing because my new phone IS my old phone.
Then, it's google login time. Worked fine, standard stuff we're used to with options to download/backup your apps using google. It takes a minute here, and I kept getting popups about all of the google apps stopping, each individually. Annoying a bit... I hit the "RESTORE" option, this is my second try, and the first time I didn't have Root, so I couldn't download Titanium to restore everything. I also skipped the google restore last time, so I tried it this time. This is a new screen for me, but it takes me to a "Restoring" screen for a bit. It's not as annoying as on previous Android versions, having to individually approve each app that was updating/downloading. I keep getting the popups about one Google app or another stopping.
I get past the restore page, and the phone locks up. Reboot... After reboot, I have to go into the play store to download Titanium. It seems quite a few apps were restored by Google, but not all. I looked at the "My Apps" section of the play store, and there's a ton of apps cued up to download. It's what I was trying to avoid... So I hit "Stop" at the top, and it stops them all.
**I mentioned earlier that this is my 2nd try, the first try was about the same, but I didn't have root access. I downloaded SuperSU, but it wouldn't update the binaries, so it was useless. I tried SuperUser, it didn't work either. So, I rebooted to recovery, wiped, flashed the ROM, GApps, and the SuperSU zip I had saved on my SD card from my previous Omni Rom. Then I rebooted and now you can read what happened.
At this point, I'm having problems downloading Titanium Backup, SuperSU, or anything I really want. The Play Store is hanging and force closing. I can't even open the SuperSU I flashed from TWRP. There must be compatibility issues. I read somewhere that Lollipop has issues with root somehow, but I'm not sure. On my first try, I was able to download Titanium Backup no problem, but it wouldn't work because I didn't have root access. SuperSU and SuperUser didn't help after downloading. CM has always been pre-rooted on all of the other devices I've installed it on.
For now, I'm just going to restore my backup of Omni Rom and be content with 4.4.4 for now.
I'll try again if anyone can help with actually being on the VZW Network and Root. I didn't get a chance to play with the other stuff in Lollipop yet, but I would love to.

Giving this a try!! Downloading now
Update- Downloaded and installed without any problems. I did have to skip the network verification set-up as it never went anywhere and wifi set-up worked as with setting up my g-mail account,.
Everything seems good except for no service, baseband version still unknown and no service or apn's for data.
going back to Liquid till this gets updated.

Yes, I flashed the gapps from your post. gapps-lp-20141109 is what the file name was. I use TWRP, not sure if it's the latest but it works fine. I always do the "factory reset" wipe option in twrp, because I believe that's a full wipe with one swipe... Now, just to test it out and see if I was doing something wrong, I tried the Liquid Smooth build (latest nightly) from 1/7, and it loaded and booted just fine. Had to flash the ROM, Gapps, GPS Fix, and Super SU (so I can restore my apps in Titanium). It connected to data, and ran me through the setup in a flash. It's working well enough to be a daily driver. Do you have any other suggestions? I'm willing to help if you want me to try something else.
Going to give this a try. Thank you for giving this phone options. It is greatly appreciated.

I love to flash and then go through a process of testing. I actually got 2 gt-n5110s so I could test a couple builds at same time, kind of a back to back comparison.
I would love to pick up another i650 that still has unlocked bootloader for testing that way on this device as well.
Well back to this rom, I couldn't get past the getting data screen and had to abort. I did a clean flash and wiped everything with both philz and TWRP 2.8.3.0. I tried both stock and shift kernels.
Lets face it, I'm a flashaholic. lol.....

Hi Guys,
I'm needing a little help. I have my phone rooted and it was flashed with CM11. I switched back to the stock rom to check something and when I tried to reactivate the slot my rom was in, the reactivation failed. So I figured if I have to put a rom back on, I would try something new. After reading some reviews on a couple of roms, I choose the Pacman LP rom 5.1.1. Installed and flashed the gapps. All of the google stuff updated fine. A couple of days later I noticed I wasn't able to use the data to go online. The phone and texts were fine. I thought it was the rom, so I deleted it and reflashed. Again, couldn't go online. Contacted my carrier and the found out the APN wasn't listed. Added it and all was good again. So I thought.
After flashing the rom I again flashed the gapps, only this time google play services will not update. It keeps flashing error code 506. I've wiped the cache several time and have also done a factory reset to no avail. I've also deleted the rom and tried installing it in a different slot, and that isn't working either. I've downloaded newer versions of gapps, but cannot get them to install at all. When trying, I either get error code 40 or 70.
I've deleted the cache from Google Play Store and Google Play Services and I've also gone into data/data and deleted the cache from com.android.vending. Nothing seems to work.
After this long story, my question is, if go into the stock rom and delete safestrap and reinstall it, could that possibly fix my issue?

pac-rom 5.1.1 on the razor xt912 and droid 4 does not work correctly with gapps. Use a different rom.

I apologize for taking so long to get back and thank you for your response. Can you please recommend a lollipop rom that does perform well on the xt912 and works good with gapps?
Thanks

Try mokee, cyanogen, or one of the unofficial roms like resurection remix or something like. I am currently running on my droid 4 and razor resurection remix but based on android M. It all depends on what you like. If you like to customize and highly configurable rom resurection remix based on android M is good to go. I use open gapps projects.
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!)

Thanks for your reply!
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.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
