"Unfortunately Setup Wizard has stopped working" - after trying to install Gapps
So I've successfully managed to get the current CM nightly on my S2, after a few trials and tribulations.
I'd left my phone alone for a bit, all working fine.
Then I decide to get it sorted properly, and install the Google Apps.
Googling told me to use the 20120429 version. So I downloaded that (using the phone's browser), went into CWM and installed it. No joy.
Silly me, I didn't reset + clear cache. So I did that. Still no joy.
So now I've re-installed CM and done a reset + clear cache.
And still I'm stuck looking at the 'setup wizard stopped working' messages, in an endless soul-destroying loop
What can I do?
Would re-installing a stock rom and then re-rooting do the trick?
I can't get Odin to connect, and so I've copied the zipped 4.0.3 rom into the internal SD card, but CWM fails (is it because it has a .dll file alongside the .tar?)
I'm wishing I'd left the phone alone now

What version of CyanogenMod are we talking about here? You need to be more specific.

Right, maybe I found the cause of the problem - I've installed cm-10.1-20130125-NIGHTLY-i9100 but when I wanted to find out which version of Gapps I needed I couldn't be sure what it was so I decided to just find the original download page again. But somehow I managed to find this page http://get.cm/?device=galaxys2 (a rather too easy mistake to make?) ...which has version 9! So I've tried to install the wrong Gapps file

I thought you might have! I'm not sure whether a simple flash of the correct gapps file will solve your problem or whether you will need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, reinstall the CM10.1 nightly and then flash the correct gapps file which can be found here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Try just wiping your cache and dalvik cache in recovery and flashing the new gapps file I linked, if the flashing process doesn't last for atleast 20 seconds, then you may have to carry out the steps I listed above for a complete reinstall.

Thanks but I've now tried the reset / wipes / reinstalls multiple times to no avail. And now when I connect my phone to my pc to try to put the correct gapps zip on there, Windows Explorer is only showing a few of the folders on Internal Storage. The stuff that I've already got at root isn't showing. Have I knackered my phone?
I'm going to have to leave it til the morning - the battery is nearly empty.
Edit: Damn, I couldn't get to sleep without fixing it first, and luckily I did: I rebooted my pc, and the explorer eventually did show the contents ok (just very slowly). I dragged the zip in, installed it with CWM and *huzzah* it's working! The only odd thing is the camera has disappeared from the applications...
I can wait until tomorrow to work that out.
Thanks for your help

That's strange. I recently flashed a wrong gapps file and it led to some things not working, especially the Play Store. I tried just wiping the cache and dalvik cache and flashing, but that didn't work. So I did a wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, reflashed the ROM and then flashed gapps. I think I may have wiped the cache and dalvik cache once more for good luck, and then repaired permissions in the advanced section of recovery. Phone booted up fine and all apps worked perfectly. I doubt the phone is knackered, perhaps try and different ROM just to make sure it boots fine, and then try flash CM10.1 again. Good luck
Samsung Galaxy s2 CM10 trouble Setup Wizard has stopped working
Im from Asia and I guess Samsung s2 int’l version has different features. I already updated my firmware to JB 4.1.2 (leaked) and since I am not satisfied with it,I rooted it and installed siyah as well as cm10 + gapps from XDA links. I followed everything according to the posts and vids.The problem is that after rebooting and CM start up showed up,the next prompt was UNFORTUNATELY,SET UP WIZARD HAS STOPPED WORKING. What’s wrong? I have tried 6x times and no one worked correctly. HELP me!
I was under the same problem few days ago...
flashed 4.2.2 gapps on 4.1.2..
and succumbed to 'unfortunately setup wizard has stopped' error, until i flashed the respective 4.2.2 gapps.
but sadly it ate away my internal memory (cant help )
So the point is
just flash the respective gapps
and then the ROM again
Hi I just installed cyangenmod and it works but setup wizard is crashing and I don't know how to fix this my phone its pretty much unusable. Need help urgently!
The key is to wipe regular cache partition after installing Gapp zip! :]
I think you have the key. I get my cm10.1.5 and I flashed a realy slim gapps (11mb), but after that I didn't wipe cache and dalvik. So the phone didn't woke up because it get stucked in the wizzard setup. So I have to do as u said. And like the other said, reinstall the rom and then the gapps.

sir,
i have samsung galaxy star GT-S5282 model but i am unabble to start the Device because of error of unfortunately samsung setup wizard has stoppeed
yesterday i installed CM12 on my sony xperia T (mint)
i installed the OS and the GApps with no problem except one: some apps couldn't access the external SD
i tried many tricks and guides but ultimately decided to reinstall CM
I did a data wipe/factory reset, flashed CM12, reboot into system, reboot into recovery, flashed GApps, cache/dalvik wipe out, reboot into system and now the GApps keep crashing
all the time
i've tried with the GApps found in the cyanogenmod page and the paranoid GApps
I've tried not installing them from GApps but rather installing the google play and google play services apk, and the services keep crashing
any ideas on what to do?
what is causing all of this?
update: i flashed cm11 and GApps 4 and it works without a problem, which just makes everything more confusing
update2: after successfully flashing cm11 and the gapps, i once more tried flashing cm12, which worked by itself, but when i flashed the gapps i got the same crashes again
Purchased a used rooted s4 today and installed the latest cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly. That installs and works fine and all but the second I install the GApps package it results in "Unfortunately _insert Google app_ has stopped" just spamming my screen. If I close it another will just pop up and I can't get into settings or anything. I've tried clearing cache/dalvik etc but same thing. Basically I just have to wipe the device and reinstall without gapps to get it to a usable state. I have the NC5 Verizon galaxy s4 with OUDhs CWM Touch Req0very v1.0.3.5 (was installed by previous owner). I've also tried different gapp package such as slim gapps and same thing. Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved. Updated my recovery and it worked fine.
I was on CM13 nightly 08/08 and I received a download to update to 08/09 and I downloaded it, rebooted to twrp and I dirty flashed the zip. Then I noticed that flashing the rom changed my f2fs system partition into a ext4 so I wiped the system partition and changed it to f2fs again. Then I reflashed my stuff: first the new cm13 build, radon kernel and finally supersu. I rebooted, did the android is upgrading thing, and when i entered the phone a bunch of my apps disappeared from the launcher and apps started crashing (hangouts has stopped working, setup wizard has stopped working) which then I realized that I forgot to flash the gapps along with the newly wiped system. I rebooted back to twrp again, flashed the gapps and rebooted to system. This time, my launcher wouldn't even show up and it was nearly impossible to use the phone because of a constant play services has stopped and setup wizard has stopped. I managed to stop the constant messages by force closing setup wizard and play services but the second I pressed the home button to go to launcher the messages would appear again. Strangely, when I switched to guest mode the messages disappeared and I could use apps launcher and play store normally. I then went back to TWRP, wiped the system again and this time flashed the gapps along with the rom, kernel and super su and the phone still displayed these annoying messages, which make it impossible to use the phone. Is it possible to recover my phone without wiping it?
Anyone can help?
you need to flash gapps before you initially boot your phone, otherwise it behaves like yours. i dont know why but thats what i encountered once
Hey guys,
Googe play services keeps stopping
android.process.media keeps stopping
bluetooth keeps stopping
at the first start (google register)
I tried: 2 different roms: mcaosp + pixel, newest gapps (nano), flashed data, cache, dalvik + system
Do you have any solutions/ tipps? I want to try pie
Greetings
I had this problem too, tried all variants of gapps, bitgapps. All variants of twrp, all pie ROMs and same error. You can try and see that if you create a second user in the phone, suddenly all works perfectly.
tl;dr:Just try crdroid ROM, the one worked for me on the owner user
Flash the ROM first without gapps then boot normally.Turn off phone,go to TWRP and then flash GAPPS.
Had this issue many times and its quite annoying.
Thanks for the answers. I tried this 2 times ;(
It just dont work with your tipps. I will go back to oreo until I get news about this
no fix yet ;/
Flashed all except usb otg + sd card, installed firmware 9.6.2 and tried syberia + arrow rom. (Followed the install tutorials)
Android PIE dont like me ;(
EDIT: Got AOSP Extended to work but now it searches for updates since 10 minutes. (I have good wlan <.<)
