What gapps zip are you using? Make sure that if you're running CM10 4.1.2 that you aren't using a gapps zip for 4.2...

can't install FLASH on 4.1.1 ?

Just bought our 2 nexus 7 tablets today....We want to root them but haven't yet. I was trying to update the FLASH to the latest as one of my websites and one game wanted me to do that. I was taken to the google paly and there was a message that the lastest FLASH can NOT be installed on this device and I read that it is NOT support for OS over Ice Cream 4.0? Can some one tell me what I can do? Do I have to root to do this?
Thanks

-- Funny.. i use that all the time
No, you don't have to root to install flash. You have to download the apk and install it, that's all.

I did root my nexus 7 and I did install flash by sideloading...but I get a blue box sometimes and other times I get the message that I need to upgrade flash...I used Dolphin HD browser on the nextus and chrome and the same thing happens in both.
Somewhere I read something about renaming two files...don't remember where I read that or what two file. I do know I didn't do it because 1. I wasn't able at the time to find the files 2. it didn't say what to rename them????
Any suggestions on what I have to do...my nexus 7 is now updated to 4.1.2
Thanks
Tried this doesn't work either...

[Q] Problem installing Franco.kernel

Hi everybody! I am quite new so please show some understanding recently I rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed rasbeanjelly ROM and trinity kernel. After a couple of days using it I decided to install Franco kernel.. So I downloaded it and installed it (thought so). When I boot up my nexus 7 the boot animation was still from trinity kernel, so I installed it again but same results. Please help :/ I install the kernels with CWM touch. Thanks in advance

i installed mine with fastboot because as far as i know the kernel file was an .img file and not zip (which it has to be for using cwm).
but donot forget to wipe your davlik cache after installing the new kernel.
It's beacuse the Franco kernel doesn't have a boot animation but you can flash the file i added to this post.
There is both ways to install the kernel, also with .zip! I cannot post the link right now because I don't have posted 10 times but I can send it by pm . thanks though

Are you running stock or custom? If it's custom, just try to flash this gapps: http://goo.im/devs/paranoidandroid/roms/gapps/pa_gapps-full-4.2-20130410-signed.zip
It comes with all the google application installed.
(Don't forget to wipe cache/dalvik cache before installing.)

Is possible to flash then with slimbean?
It's an official Gapps so yes! I did used it on PAC ROM earlier this morning, had no problems.

But why cant i download these apps via playstore?
Maybe caused by a problem when flashing your gapps package.

Didn't you flash the gapps?? Banks gapps are good and they are compatible with most of the ROMs, they also have the email apk

Press thanks I helped you. :good:

Simple ROM and Device compatibility question

I have a Nexus 4 running on 4.4.2 update base ROM. I've unlocked and rooted my phone, with multiple root tests to be sure. I've also downloaded the Franco kernel. Though its not working, so I assume its cause its a nightly version. From the information I've found those don't always work.
Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like you don't have the latest version of cwm on you're phone. Try updating you're CWM to the newest version. Or install twrp recovery ( newest version and try again.
Be warned if you install twrp recovery then you're backup made in cwm recovery wont work should you wish to use it.
Below is a screen shot showing you're problem.
Phone : Nexus 4 /Rom : cataclysm / Kernel : Stock.
Thanks. I updated clockwork and it worked perfectly. Though its extremely annoying that I don't get my apps and data and all that I would normally get when doing a regular Google based ROM. Is there a way to get all that with custom ROMs? Do I just need to do a flash of Google play store or something?

If you flash Gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, it should give you the options to download your apps and system settings during initial setup, if that's what you're asking.

You need to flash gapps package for google apps like playstore, gmail..etc. Link are often given together in the OP of the rom thread.
Excellent. Thank you all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those! You've all been a great help.

One more question. Kernels. I know some are ment purely for custom ROMs. But is there a place I can get Kernels for a stock ROM? I haven't decided on a custom ROM yet, but I'd like to tweak this one as much as I can before.

They support both, the exception being with CM kernels.
