Was hoping someone can give me some insight here because I am at a loss. I have tried countless times to get Gapps to work with Cyanogenmod 7 but the market nor any of the Google apps show up. The ROM installs fine but after flashing the Gapps package it doesnt show(yes I'm positive I'm using the right Gapps file) I have wiped everyting cache/data/dalvik, tried using the format.zip and nvflash to start with a fresh tab, that didn't work. I've tried installing Cyanogen 6 first, but for some reason that just results in a boot loop. If anyone has this problem or knows what the probelm could be it would be greatly helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help
After booting are you connecting to your WiFi access point?
Market doesn't show until you are connected to WiFi, then it will install the apps directly from the Market.
Yup Ive connected to WIFI, let the ROM run for a bit, restarted countless times. I just cant figure it out. I dont get the account setup screen either, it just goes straight into the ROM itself.
And after you connected to your WiFi did you open the app drawer and click on the Market to launch it?
At this point it should ask for your Google account, ask what Gapps from the market you want installed and then do it.
Thats the problem, the market icon doesnt exist for me to open, none of the google apps show up even though it installed successfully in clockwork.
None of the google apps will show up, though Market should, if you installed the Gapps package and are connected to WiFi.
The Gapps.zip just installs the Market and some of the supporting/needed libraries and files for accessing the Market (plus some other stuff).
Connected to WiFi, launching the Market initializes the Google sign in and the "other stuff" that lets you pick the Google Apps you want installed. It then downloads them from the Market itself.
EDIT:
What version of CM7 are you running and what Gapps package are you installing?

I installed 7.0.3 stable with the 20110307 gapps package.
I'm telling you nothing comes up to install market or any other google apps. I must have installed the ROM about 30 times now. Probably gonna end up being something stupid I'm leaving out.
Have both the Rom and Gapps on your device.
Boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery and do a factory reset, then advanced and wipe davlik cache
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the ROM and install, do NOT reboot.
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the Gapps and install
ReBoot device, connect to WiFi before doing anything else.
Market should appear when you open the app drawer. Launch it to continue.
It's been a while......but I walked my sister through it via email a few weeks ago back...

Ive tried this, it either results in a bootloop or just doesn't work but I'll give it another shot when I get home. Thanks
Try flashing a different rom along with gapps see if that works. If it does then reflash your CM7 rom along with gapps & retest, hopefully it works, if it doesn't maybe trying one of the nightly builds might work.
Did you pull the gapps file from the Cynogenmod website?
Gapps link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Getting same thing my self, so don't feel alone.
I am in the same boat. Have gone so far as to do a full NVFlash restore. Gapps will not show. Appears to install without error via recovery but it just isn't there. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!

The fix....eject any microSD cards you have in your device. Plug in usb. Copy update.zip to root. Enter CWM and flash update.zip. Since Cyanogen Mod messes up file structure for some reason external SD card becomes internal and tweaks the device out. If that does not work, nvflash and reinstall CM without an sd card in the device. Hope this helps.
Thanks fosser2...
What I did,
Pulled SD card
Loaded CWM update.zip and recovery folder/file
NVflashed as I was back running V5.1 again.
Vol + power to flash CWM
use CWM to flash CMod 7.0.3
then flashed Gapps
When Cmod loads, I now see the google account and ability to install all the gapps.
Thanks again, Now I can give this rom a spin. I really like Robeets HC, but it was not stable enough for everyday yet. V5.1 has bee running great, but the Netflix on GB brought me to GB.
Having same issue
I keep trying to install google apps but the market, gmail, etc, are not appearing on my screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am having the exact same problem.
Help!
It's a long story, but I'll have to tell it so you can understand exactly what happened.
I was toying around with some system files and ended up in a bootloop. So I made a new kitkat ftf file that I flashed in flashtool, then I installed the advanced kernel for twrp and finally I installed a prerooted lollipop zip in recovery that I made with prf creator. When I first booted the device the su binary didn't work, so I had no root acces. I booted the tablet in fastboot and installed advanced kernel for twrp again (over lollipop), then I wiped everything and flashed the prerooted firmware again, plus the supersu zip to make sure it works.
This time root works and everything seems to be ok, except that the device doesn't recognize the internal storage.
I think it's mounted, but the system can't see it. Installing apps from Google Play works, I even installed dungeon hunter which required additional files (which are normally installed in android/obb) and it works fine. But if I try to download anything from the web it says "no SD card".
If I open the preinstalled file manager from Sony it shows that I have 5.3/11gb occupied, but if I press on it it's empty.
Same story on root explorer, with superuser access granted.
What could be the problem? How do I fix this?
Hi,
I think I broke my apk installer...sort of.
Since a few days I can't install any apks that are from Google Play, so I think the whole installer for external apps is broken.
Ok, I use Lucky Patcher and I think it has broken it, but only to use the pro features of Titanium and Poweramp...they don't want to recognize their keys from PlayStore for some reason or recheck them and won't find them even after reinstallation of both, app and key. I already tried it with XInstaller and with formating /system and reinstalling the OS via TWRP (running latest PA 5 legacy alpha for LG G2, but there seem to be no such issue known) but both have not helped. I only can install apps by coppying the apk manually to /data/app or /system/priv-app and restart the device. I also made a logcat log while trying to install LMT Launcher so I hope this can help to identify the problem.
If anybody knows a solution, please help, installing apps and updates the manual way is quite annoying.
EDIT: It looks like the Package Manager is trying to install apps on a non existing SD-Card. There is no possibility for an SD-Card on my G2 (only on Korean models) without USB-OTG but the ROM has the buttons in App Overview to move Apps to an SD-Card, so I think the installer tries the same. Is there a way to find out the path where it wants to install apps and Link this (with XPosed) to the real installation folder?
I've installed stock 5.1.1 and am interested in hearing from anyone who has successfully got Xposed installed on this version. I did go through the process of downloading what I thought was the correct SDK (Wanam's ARM SDK22) and the installer, but it didn't work well and I actually had to flash the remover zip. At this point I'm wary of going through all this again, so if you've successfully done this, please let me know what files you used. Many thanks if someone can assist.
I have sucessfully installed xposed framework in my device with 5.1.1 so First you had to root your phone and deodexed your rom to install xposed framework for wanam .
OK, got it working. The latest version for 5.1.1 does not require deodexing, which saved me some work. I found the correct files and installed and all is good. I personally used xposed-v80.0-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160211.zip and xposedinstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk. Install the xposed installer first, then flash the zip, and I was able to use my favorite xposed modules. Anyone wanting to do this definitely read up on it first, and I keep xposed-uninstaller-20160211.zip on my sd card in case I install something that makes my phone have problems.
Hello,
I just bought a new Honor 9 and I'm trying to root it.
I unlocked the bootloader and installed TWRP.
The procedure says I need to install the Magisk apk and then reboot into TWRP and install the Magisk zip.
When I launch the recovery and look for the zip to install (that I previously I copied on sdcard when I first booted the phone) I just see a bunch of folders with random names (encrypted I guess). Moreover I can't find the zip file where I was supposed to find it.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

All you missed is a bit of reading my friend. To put it in a nutshell, actual versions of TWRP around here don't decrypt data. Yet. Now you should be able to access the content of a properly formatted (ExFAT or FAT 32) sd card.
Cheers.
Thanks for the reply. I actually upgraded latest TWRP and wiped from recovery. This somehow permanently removed the encryption.
Yes, it stays pending *almost* forever.
Play Store is already updated to latest version.
