[Q] GAPPS not working on CM 12.1 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
First of all apologies if I am not in the right thread to post this question. I am running CM 12.1 (Nightly CM12.1-20150430) on Nexus 5.
The issue is, I flashed the GAPPS as well for CM 12.1 (i.e. for Android 5.1) But after flashing GAPPS, I am constantly getting the message "Unfortunately the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
This is so frustrating because before when I was running CM 12 at that time as well these processes stopped. I somehow managed to reduce the frequency of getting such message by clearing app cache (for message "Unfortunately play store services has stopped" I used to clear cache for Play Store app from Settings--> Apps--> All Apps. And same for other apps as well.)
Its irritating to get such messages even after flashing the appropriate GAPPS for CM 12.1. Is there any way or updated GAPPS which could help me in this situation.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi all,
I have the very same error with the latest CM nightly (20150503) and the official CM GAPPS.
I use the Samsung Galaxy S4.
Thanks

Hi,
I somehow escaped from the issue All you have to do is reflash the latest nightly build along with compatible GAPPS (if you are flashing CM12.1 flash Gapps 5.1) Before doing so, you have to format your phone (Clean flash)
Thats what I did. Erased everything from my phone (after taking backup from Titanium Backup) and then flashed the latest nightly build with the GAPPS for android 5.1 and now I can run every google app without any issue
Hope it will work for you as well :good:

If you have same issue then.......
Guyzzzz after trying the method that is written above if you fail then try this method it work 1000% yes it works
Just follow these steps
1. just go to apps
2. Disable all apps that look like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. Keep them disabled for 1 day
4. After a day just enable them n use aaaalllllllllllllllll gapps
Note:---- It will remain till the reboot after reboot follow the steps again
N this time u need them disabled for 1 hour yes 1 hour. Good bye stay blessed brozzz
N if it works just pray for me........

Replace TWRP with ClockWorkmod
I've had the same issue. What solved it for me was replacing TWRP with ClockWork recovery tool. From there it was a breeze. Hope it helps.

Lost my root

i recently decided to install a new LP rom on my galaxy s2. i was previously running the unofficial cm12. but before wiping the whole phonei decided to do a little internal sd cleanup, which led me to deleting most files (some that were important). i then successfully installed the new rom without any problems. Once the phone booted up and i tried to run titanium backup to restore my data it didn't detect root on my phone. so i have lost root and need help getting it back. any ideas?
Previous rom: [ROM][5.0.2][I9100] CyanogenMod 12 by Lysergic Acid
Current rom: Resurrection Remix by varund7726
PS: i know i am a giant noob at this so save the instults pls
thank you

You didn't loose root, you just haven't activated it. You can do so by going to developer options and enable root access for apps and adb.

Your recovery version is too old. You need recovery version 6.0.4.7 and higher. Download newer CWM version here: https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/i9100/

First time root - few questions

It's finally time for me to do what every XDA user done already - root my phone and use another ROM. I haven't ever before done this that's why I'm very excited.
I'm trying to follow this noob-friendly guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2213910 . I read it like ten times already, but I still have some questions.
1. I want to have a CM rom. Should I get Lloir's CM 12.1 or the official CM 11? The thing is, I won't be able to get another rom for almost a year and I want a quite stable rom.
2. I guess I should install the latest TWRP 2.8 recovery from this forums, am I right? But then, why on the official CM download page there is a separate "Cyanogen Recovery" file?
3. According to the tutorial, I should install SuperSu, is this the right version?
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/
4. The thing I'm worried about mostly - my digitizer is damaged and I sometimes get "phantom touches", I can't tap anything on screen, the only solution is screen off & on. What if phantom touches appear when I'm in recovery? From what I read most things are controlled by physical buttons (which work), but not all, some requires to swipe. What then? Can I turn the screen off or abort the process and start again?
Thanks in advance for every reply.
If you need a stable rom you should stay on stock.
1. I use CM12.1 and used CM11 before. I prefer 12.1. They all have some more or less annoying bugs -> read the threads and make your own decision
2. Use the TWRP version which is linked in the rom thread. Cyanogen recovery has less functions and is not public released for x+ afaik
3. CyanogenMod is shipped with it's own su-management app. So no need to install SuperSU
4. you can turn screen on and off in recovery
Thank you very much!
An hour ago I installed CM12.1, I may say successfully, because it booted and now Play Store is downloading GBs of apps., so I can't in fact do anything .
Maybe just one lat thing. If I'd like to install a CM12.1 update in the future, do I have to wipe everything? Or just flash the boot.img and rom and that's it?
CM says you don't need to wipe, but Lloir sometimes wants us to wipe x)
In CM12 root must be enabled in developer options btw.

CM13 OTUS Downloading Files Crashes Browser

Hi,
I'm on build NOV29 (BUILD2 ) OF CYANOGENMOD 13. This is an error I have been facing since the november 11 build, however. Downloading any file in the stock browser causes it to crash, regardless of the file type. I guess with all the focus on getting Dual Sim RIL to work, this went unnoticed. HELP PLEASE. '

Go to app settings, then to the browser's settings, and enable its storage permission!

CM13 is really unstable in it's current state. I recommend you stay on AOSP-CAF if you want marshmallow, the latest build is pretty much 99% stable.

Not to be rude but this is the Moto E forum, not the S4 forum. Anyway, you don't have play store because as the error says,you ran out of storage. Flash a smaller gapps package.

(SOLVED)GT I9300 has 2 options brick doesn't: download & TWRP recovery, it won't boot

(SOLVED)GT I9300 has 2 options brick doesn't: download & TWRP recovery, it won't boot
I started off by using heimdall with the ODIN downloader to download TWRP 3.3.1 then discovered the "failed to map file" bug, so I downloaded TWRP 3.1.0.
Next I erased everything with an advanced wipe
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I tried to install Lineageos 16
but it failed with Error 7
Is it possible that I erased too much, and know the SG3 doesn't know what model it is?
Then I followed the instructions and removed the assert line from the updater-script, did an advanced wipe, and downloaded again
but the phone won't boot the installed OS, it just keeps going back to download
How do I get it to install and boot Lineageos or any other ROM that works?
TIA Banjo
This ROM
lineage-16.0-20190520-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip (theandroid02 (ArnauVF4))
is broken!
Some time ago, I tried it too, and it ended up the same way (stuck in "download mode")
I don't know any good Oreo and Pie ROMs for i9300, because all the ones I've tested (15 of them) were unstable, using these ROMs was just frustrating (for me).
But if you want something much more stable, try unofficial LOS 14.1
(lineage-14.1-20191223-UNOFFICIAL-i9300.zip)

Thanks very much - that worked!
PS: Which version of gapps/Mind-the-Gapps do you use?
It's good to hear it works
I'm using Opengapps ARM 7.1 Pico

open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20200307.zip worked. I found out the hard way it's not arm64.

Almost bricked phone

I installed TWRP on my N960N and it worked soon as i flashed any ROM it got some kind of issue
On AOSP based ROMs like
-PixelOS - boots keeps crashing on setup screen, and bootloops teeling "Bluetooth Keeps Stopping"
-PE+ - just bootloops
-ArrowOS - same as PixelOS
-Lineage - won't even flash using adb sideload
On OneUI based ROMs
-DEODEX | QQ ONE UI 2.5
-NobleROM2.6 - both of them just bootloops.
any idea?
​
If nothing helps, try installing latest stock rom using odin (find the steps on xda). Then go to developer options, turn on oem unlock (if its off) and install twrp again.
Before installing anything- go to wipe/advanced wipe (this will delete internal storage too so back it up first)/ select change file system and select ext 2 and swipe. After its done select ext 4 and swipe again. Reboot to twrp.
Try installing any rom- i sugest you to go with noble 2.6/one ui 4.1, follow the steps in the thread.

Try to follow
After failing multiple times with a few of the same ROMs you mentioned, I used the video to guide me and installed the latest NobleROM, all good.
I was on another ROM (iodeOS), switched back to Samsung official ROM and then simply followed the steps.
I used the PDF instructions from sammobile to get back to factory image first.
Good luck and cheers.
