Hi all,
I 'formated' my S3 i9300 with LiquidSmooth last week with help from a friend. He had to download and install CWM 6.0.4.6/7 in order to get LS installed properly. He did a wipe, but my old files are still available.
Gapps did not install standard, and thus I downloaded and installed Gapps (not flashed). But Google Play and Services does not want to start or run on the phone.
Could anybody please assist with a fix or run around? (I will not have a problem in having to flash the phone again, but would like that to be my last option)

From my experience gapps have to be installed into the system with the right permission, so what you should do is download a Gapps package for your rom version and flash it, unless you want to download all apks manually and set the permissions manually on your phone, which would just result in a lot of more work and trouble.
Just boot into recovery mode (volume up + power + home), install zip and locate the gapps package. You don't have to wipe anything other than cache and dalvik cache. So you won't have to reinstall anything. I hope I could help!
My apologies all!
Originally, I found news articles that the S3 is not compatible with Android KitKat.
But then I found out that I was trying to install Gapps incorrectly. You install Gapps via Recovery boot, and do not flash or wipe the handset.
Spread the word!

Hello! So as a lot of you may have heard, a lot of people are having problems with lollipop ROMs bootlooping on first boot and not starting up at all! So, I have the same issue. I have a t0ltetmo (Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile). And whenever I install a lollipop ROM with the gapps, it says "android is upgrading", and when that's done, it goes into an immediate endless bootloop! I can't get it to work at all! Any ideas? Thanks guys!
you can post your question here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/qa-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-t2976843
Thank you! I'll move this over there.

Try to boot device without gapps
Then if you device is started good, go into recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash gapps.
I recommend you to download pico PA gapps. That is the smallest package. Only playstore and google play services, that is enougt. Try this.

I haven't yet tried it with the PA gapps like you said, although I should also add that the ROM doesn't boot without gapps either! I even went as far as formatting my internal memory completely to rule out that it wasn't a file on the internal memory! Same thing, "android is upgrading" (which i've never seen a ROM do after installation) and then a bootloop.
EDIT: I have been using these lollipop gapps. https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
Bump. Still haven't been able to get this working no matter what I try!

This could be caused by the corruption of google play store files. You should reinstall rom and install the proper gapps file. Make sure to wipe system, cache, data and dalvik cache before reinstalling any rom. md5 errors are caused by the corruption of flashable cwm zip files. Try a different rom and this should fix your problems.

thank you very much......I allready installed new ROM Cyanogenmod 11 and full GAPPS 4.4.2 with Rom Manager and everything is ok now.:good:
Hi;
So i recently installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on to my Samsung S4 GT-I9505 using the first download link on:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx --> cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
That all installed fine, but i wanted to get the Google apps installed aswell, which is where i am having some issues.
I have been trying to install the following package:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
but have also tried to install quite a few others as well, and all have exactly the same issue. Basically after the apps have been installed and i boot the device up, i get various error messages like:
unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
unfortunately, google play services has stopped
Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated, as nothing seems to download from the play store thats included in Cyanogen, they just say "your download will begin shortly" but never does.
Thanks in advance
I am a total noob, but I had exactly this problem. The issue appears to be that you have to flash gapps *before* rebooting after flashing CM. In my case since I had already flashed CM before I flashed gapps I had to put the gapps file on the phone (I did this by push with adb, you might find an easier way), re-flash CM, wipe cache/dalvik, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. It worked.
The easiest guide I found was on androiding.how, called "how to install cm13 (cyanogenmod13)." (The forum won't let me post a link, just google it, it should come up).
Hope that helps. I'm on a galaxy s5 and used twrp recovery if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, i gave that a try and it seems to be stuck on a loop now with "installing app # of 22" . it completes the installation and then reboots, after about 5 minutes on the Cyanogen boot screen, it goes back to installing apps again.
Hm, did you do a factory reset in your recovery before re-flashing CM and gapps? If not, that might be necessary.

Yeah, i did. Tried it multiple times now
That's about the limit of my ability right there, hopefully someone with more experience than me can point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Boot to recovery (preferably TWRP)
Wipe cache / dalvik cache / data / system
Flash CM13 and the gapps you were trying first
Reboot
Profit!
Since you keep flashing different gapps on top of the system, this is probably causing some issues. Once you fully wipe and reflash everything, it should work.

Ive tried that multiple times using twrp (i always wipe everything before i flash CM13 and gapps), i still get the exact same issue. The second the phone boots, i get all these "unfortunately ******** has stopped".
Perhaps try installing 12.1 with gapps, get it all updated then upgrade to 13. I did the accidental upgrade to 13 but have had no issues whatsoever.
yea so I am running before in cyanogenmod 10.1 with jellybean and I downloaded Cyanogenmod 12.1 from rom manager. I also downloaded gapps downloader from playstore to find gapps there.
I flashed Cyanogenmod 12.1 successful. I installed Gapps successful, too
I am now running in android 5.1.1 but when the phone starts, ALL THE GOOGLE APPS I INSTALLED STOPS. Even in the startup, all the google applications forces closes and the apps is not installed. When I looked in the settings>apps>all
the google apps is there but it is in my sd, it also shows com.google......etc and it is not installed in my device.
The android Keyboard (AOSP) also closes again and again so I cannot type when the phone asks me to input password in my WIFI. SO I AM ****ING STUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! ****ING STUCK
I wanted to try to flash it back to jellybean, but the Recovery my phone is running is the Cyanogenmod Recovery and there is no back up and restore option.
I want to fix this issue, I mean I still want to run my device on Lollipop. How can I fix this? How to make gapps work and the keyboard,
Take a backup of all your stuff in internal storage.
Download these files onto your SD card.
Kernel- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24407100847293132
TWRP- https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24369303960684130
Download the proper Pico gapps from this thread.
After that,
1) Boot into recovery
2) Install the recovery
3) Reboot your device again into recovery. If it does not boot into TWRP recovery then it means you're on an older version of CM 12.1., so flash the kernel first, then the recovery, and try to reboot your device into recovery) If it booted into TWRP then you do not need to flash the kernel.
In TWRP, select 'Wipe', and do a factory reset, after that's done, select install in TWRP and flash Pico Gapps.
thanks for the reply!
but do you think this would work?
do you think the cm recovery would accept this zip files, because I tried to flash my backup applications such as games, and other stuff and it showed err signature verification failed.

Man, I have successfully done that.I have flashed TWRP recovery and flashed kernel.
But i cant install gapps..
I tried installing gapps for Android 4.2.1 and it worked AHAHAHAHAHA. But when I rebooted it, com.google...etc stil, all of the closes. (unfortunately com.google,etc. has stopped) even the AOSP the android keyboard isnt working.
I have some gapps working now, THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE NOW IS THAT THIS ****ASS AOSP KEYBOARD UNFORTUNATELY STOPPED MESSAGE EVERY 2 secs AND I CANT TYPE,
What error does it show when you try to install gapps?
And by gapps I mean the one for android 5.1.

there is no error anymore. i installed 3rd party keyboard. thanks mate )
i mean the gapps are working but when I sync my google acc, it syncing error. they are working but after for about 5 mins or later, com.google.process.gapps unfortunately stops so i cant use it and more error stuff comes out. I think I am having issues with GApps, basically. how the hell i can fix this. I tried so many gapps from the xda thread, youtube, and other forums for 5.1.x. still, they unfortunately stop.
Take a backup of your stuff.
Download GApps (ARM/5.1/pico) from this link.
http://opengapps.org/
Copy paste the .zip file into your SD Card.
Boot into recovery (TWRP) and wipe /data, /cache, /dalvik cache
After that is done, install the open_gapps-arm-5.1-pico-xxxxxxxx.zip
Reboot your phone.
Now the unfortunately stopped error will be fixed.
that is what I have downloaded. I wiped data, cache and dalvik cache. and installed gapps
it says Insufficient storage space available in system partition. you may want to use a smaller Open GApps package or consider removing some apps using gapps-config.
NO changes were made to your device
Error Code: 70
E: Error executing updater binary in zip
Are you sure you used the pico version of gapps?

yeahh.
what solutions can I do about this situation. I messed up :crying:
That's weird. Download Diskinfo from Playstore and post a screenshot of it. I'd like to know the space free in /system partition of your device.
Man, this is what I did
And yea, I figured it out.
1. Factory reset
2. Flash Rom
3. Flash Gapps
5. Wipe Cache / Dalvik Cache
6. Reboot
THANKS FOR SOME HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everybody,
i was finally able to upgrade my i9100 to the latest lineageOS from a samsung stock 4.1.2, i've been using it for a week and it works beautifully, i really thank the developers for their big effort!
Now, i received a notification telling me that there is an update available, version 2017-10-04. I tried to download it from the phone, but the download keeps failing as soon as it starts. Did it happen with you too? I could download the .zip package on my pc and reboot into recovery again, but i'd like to ask all of you what's the best way to proceed, is it going to wipe all of my data? Do i just need to install the custom rom without any additional package?
Thanks in advance
Everything is updated in different ways. I'm through OTA, someone through the recovery.
Install in TWRP ROM lineage-14.1-20171004-nightly-i9100-signed.zip, make "Wipe Cache / Dalvik" and reboot.
Do not worry, it will not erase your data.
Good luck to you.

thank you very much for your answer,i have one question left:
in order to upgrade to lineageOS, i 've been following a youtube guide, and i'm having some doubts about these steps:
[...]
5) INSTALL ROM, GAPPS, ROOT and KERNEL
Still under TWRP Home screen -> go to Install zip and set Storage to External-Storage.
We need to install files 1 by 1.
Select lineage-14.1-*.zip and Swipe to flash,
Then select addonsu-arm-signed.zip, and Swipe to flash,
### You get this error : Updater process ended with signal: 4, Error installing zip file '/sdcard/Download/addonsu-arm-signed.zip'
### -> Just don't care Root is correctly installed.
then open_gapps-arm-7.1*.zip, and Swipe to flash,
then CustomKernel-[v1.3]*.zip and Swipe to flash.
Then wipe cache/dalvik,
then reboot system.
Do i need to install addonsu-arm-signed.zip and customKernel again after upgrading lineageOS? I dont' usee google apps so i don't care about that part, but the kernel step is bothering me, does the kernel get overwritten when i update? Thanks again
Don't worry about the custom kernel at all, just use the Lineage one. It will come with the rom and be updated with each update.
You need to flash addonsu for root, but it will keep you rooted persistently so you don't have to flash after updates.
In summary, since you're going gapp-less, all you need is LOS zip and addonsu.
thanks! I did as you suggested and it worked perfectly!
