So I flashed AOKP and the Gapps package but when I started up my phone my Google apps aren't installed. Everything else seemed to work fine. Is there anything else I can try or do I have to wipe everything then reflash? What could have gone wrong?
I got the files from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2025939

I got them from the official thread, don't know why they'd be wrong. Do you have to reboot after flashing AOKP before Gapps? I guess ill probably end up just redoing it if there's no other ideas.

no. flash gapps after flashing rom.
Yeah you probably flashed gapps before the rom.
I tried it again and same thing. Play Store is there but no Chrome, maps, People, navigation etc. Is installing this package any different than just manually downloading the apps from the play store? I really don't know what's going on.
I would try re-downloading the gapps package.

If the play store is there, it flashed. You can download the rest.
Those apps were removed from the rom you flashed.

This, they really need to stop calling it a gapps pack when it is really just the play store with which you can then download gmail/chrome/maps/books/etc.
Ok, didn't realize those weren't supposed to be in there. Thanks guys

Gapps is really only useful for account setup, play store, and talk in my experience.

It is a gapps package. When they first gave the package a name, chrome, maps etc weren't on the android market. Eventually it became a a available on the market and to avoid confusion it wasn't renamed.
Those apps were removed because it was more convenient to manually get them from the store as when a new update is pushed. Gapps wouldn't have to be updated

I think the package manager will always pick the newest package provided two have the same signing. An update will normally not overwrite locally installed app updates, even if older. I think.
Locally installed apps are in /data/app. Flashing a gapps package puts apps in /system/app.
Like others have said there is no reason to include all the crap in the package that you can download yourself in the market. It has been this way for quite some time now.

Gapps only came out because google was pissy about CM including google apps in their releases, it was called gapps because it actually included google apps (maps/gmail/store/etc.) that weren't available on non google approved devices. Since now gapps just has the play store (at least from what I can tell) they should just call it gplay or something so people don't expect gapps on their freshly flashed devices.

Why are you giving me history when I already know this? You're just quoting me just to few quote me. Hence my signature says G1.
Renaming gapps to gplay makes no sense. They can call it whatever they like, it's just a name and their fault for not reading.

You threw chrome into the mix when discussing gapps creation, that is a pretty clear sign you don't know the history since chrome wasn't around at the time. Your broken english doesn't help either, "Hence my signature says G1".
It is not just the play store. It is all Google apps that are not available separately on the play store and stuff that is not open source. So when you build aosp it is not included.
It is very simple and was already explained.
You can pull your current play store.apk and toss it in your roms .zip /system/app prior to flashing it. Then don't flash the gapps package since oh its just the play store.

During the time of gapps creation, Chrome for Android didn't exist, so those apps were included in the original packaging of the gapps. So no, I didn't bring it into topic. I was saying that those google apps (such as Maps, Chrome [now its available], etc) weren't on the Android Market. So because they weren't on the Market, it had to be included in the gapps flashable zip, but now that they're included, it isnt necessary to include them in the zip as you can get them from the play store.
I don't care, I'm not writing a essay where I'm graded on my english. This is a forum, I shouldn't have to proof read what I said if I got the point across. Don't reply back to me just for the heck of it, oh man you insulted me over the internet over my grammar and english. Does that mean you're going to insult everybody else who's primary language isn't English? Most engineers aren't the greatest when it comes to english, so dont insult them either

It isn’t as easy as just flashing a gapps package to the factory Nook Color firmware to get access to the play store, and full android experience. I have a package that does it for you located HERE. You can add any app that you would like to the package, and install it. The basic gapps package that is included with that is based off of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Wifi only model P1010, and included needed modified database files to get the Play Store to properly download, and install apps.
As of October 31 2013, the Nook Color with Froyo is dead in the water, as far as the Google Play store is concerned. Google updated to Google Play Services 4.0, and with it killed off the API support for Android 2.2 Froyo. That means that almost all apps being produced or updated since then will not support Froyo, I have a lot of apps that will not update at this time because of this. If you look up Angry Birds on the Play Store website, you will see that the minimum system requirements are Android 2.3 and up.
If there’s anything that I can do to help you out, don’t hesitate to ask.
Oh alright then. Is there a generic gapps package for 2.3+, that I can slot custom apps into?

The only fix is changing location to "DEVICE ONLY". If it still happens after that clear all data associated with "GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES"
Until google does something this is all we got as far as I'm aware. I've tried everything and this is the only reliable thing. Minus reverting versions.

This looks like a problem with an Xposed module. The posts I highlighted below are all from today and they all have the same problem. If that's the case the thread doesn't belong here. That's why I ask. Troubleshooting problems and not posting your phone's configuration is completely pointless. Hence your confusion as to why I'm asking a valid question followed up immediately by another user who has no problems whatsoever with the Google Play Services in question.

I had to restore nandroid backup since things got messy for me. Then i updated google again before i had xposed sdk installed on my nexus 6. Flashed the sdk installed GEL without activating the module, everything was until i did activate it. I disabled Xposed installer through TWRP recovery, updated GEL to 2.3.6 and now everything is working perfect for me.

im using stock 5.1 and stock kernel and i had those FC issues. I recommend to anyone having those issues:
1. Disable Xposed via twrp using terminal command like it says right here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-lollipop-stuck-bootloop-t3055816
2. Update every module to lastest version.
3. Delete disable file at /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/ with root explorer to able xposed to work again.
Solved my problem.

The worst part about this is the new play services work perfectly fine on the stock rom. The only roms that seem to have problems are AOSP based roms. The developers of all of the AOSP roms have said over and over that it's not the rom and that it's the new play services causing the issue. But if play services works fine on the stock rom and not on AOSP roms then how is it play services that's the problem? So that, to me, tells me that it's something that needs either fixed in AOSP source code or something needs changed in the rom config to work with the new play services, right?
I have flashed back and forth like 20 times between stock and AOSP based roms all weekend to test this and I never get the problem on stock. It's always just the AOSP based roms. For now I've managed to stay on chroma with play services 7.3 without it auto-updating, but I'm betting that will be short lived.

A reddit user has gotten a hold of a Nexus 5x early, and posted the new Google Camera. I know a lot of people have been interested in getting a hold of the apk to hopefully get it to run on the Nexus 6, so I figured I'd share.
"EDIT 2: Here's the Google Camera apk you've been asking for. I tried to upload to APKMirror but it told me it needs to be non-odexed."
APK:

Definitely worth a try, or if someone has time to deodex it that might work. I want to play around with it more, but I have to go to work, hopefully someone can get it running by the time I'm done!:good:
would you have to be rooted to push this?
you do realize that its just the google camera? you wont get any new features, as itll only show the features that are actually possible from your phone, just like the play store version. lol.
Wasn't sure if it was like moto camera in the play store, and how its limited to certain devices. I figured it could be a newer version than is currently available to all devices in that regard. The current published version is 2.7.008, the one posted is 3.0.026. It could at least have the updated UI, regardless of features.
Google will release Camera v3 for all devices running L and M, since its their first version to use the new Camera2 API. They could do it next week or it could take months, who knows.
If we're lucky, it'll somehow enable the Nexus 6 to do high-speed video recording as well... since as far as i'm aware, the hardware is capable of it, just no software support yet.
And am i the only one who's annoyed that pictures you take STILL look like crap when zoomed in using Google's Photos app?

why do you use the google photos app? i dont use it. i use the aosp gallery . and its working on marshmallow!
You have a link for where to download the latest version? Or is it in the Play Store as well? I've always used the gallery app before, but I've been running stock Marshmallow since it came out. Kinda waiting for the Slim team to get some 6.0 lovin before I switch back to custom roms.
i was waiting for the camera to be ported but from 6P since its the one with slowmo capability, 5X doesnt!
but still good if we can run this one. gonna wait for success results.
it dose not installed

All i see is some forum post with nearly 20 pages of people complaining about malfunctions. Please provide the official link for the mentioned firmware page.
I don't know if you really tried the file. This is a total abomination and should not be called a ROM. Its littered with ads and practically unusable.
To make an emergency call you have to click some ads away. This "ROM" would be forbidden in Europe and the USA for this alone. And i haven't even touched on user tracking and snooping…
google play services dos not work anymore
I got the new rom automatically by OTA and after it came up Google play services is always crashing.
now i can't use google apps anymore.
i tried to reinstall it but no use. i even tried a few versions of G.P.S , thats not working too.
this rom 028s sucks!
how i can go back to 026s without losing my data & apps??
I cannot give permissions for apps and ads everywhere Google apps are not working

If you want to go back official then your data will loast
First download 19s indian version
Then upgrade it then clear all data in recovery mode
You will downgrade to 19s
Now you can go for 28s

Take back up of your app data to Google account.
Next Goto TWRP and wipe advanced all except storage. Then install 26s. After install Done, restore from Google account.

Hi Guys, I tried 28s, lots of advertisements. Please do not install. I am currently using 26s which is still stable and good for daily use. 26s Comes with built in Google play services, so just install Google play store apk from apkpure.com or online.

thanks for your help but i managed to recovery my phone already and it was very simple.
i downloaded the 026s rom, copied it to extarnal sd card, started the builtin recovery mode in my phone (not twrp) and boom! my phone got back to 026s rom with all my apps and data.
nothing was deleted. i had to do some customization but that's it. very very simple.

Any way to change language from Chinese to English?
What modem is used in this version?
I've been looking at buying the phone since there's a sale going on Amazon for $249USD, but after reading a bit through the forum, seems like custom roms will have gapps preinstalled?
This would be a real deal breaker for me, as I'd like to go microG, Xposed FakeGapps, FakeStore, Fdroid route, Google Free, as much as possible...
But if gapps have to be presinstalled, anyone used Terminal Debloater and uninstalled gapps with it?
Hmm
I dunno about using the rom without gapps, but CarbonRom doesn't come with gapps.
I use it with gapps and its pretty smooth, so I'm assuming it should be the same without it.
CarbonRom also has signature spoofing included.

I was reading something on XDA over this, not sure now, sounded like because of some issues custom roms had to come with Gapps preinstalled for Essential.
But now you mentioning Carbon without, well, guess that throws that out the window, I hope... LOL
Every custom rom I've installed didn't have any Gapps installed, expect for just a few of the the basics, phone, messenger, calendar...
I never install Gapps, I use microG, Xposed, F-Droid here on my phones, I like to be as Google Free as possible.
Thanks
A lot of the essential (mata) roms have gapps included because it's actually a pain to install it post-install because of the 2 partitions.
So many users get confused and end up flooding the Rom threads with the same questions on how to install gapps.
I thought if they want the Gapps, then people would just pick and choose between the various OpenGapps and flash one in twrp?
hmm

Typically, you would do that, but for whatever reason Essential Phone is a lot harder to install gapps on; apparently it's not as easy as flashing in TWRP, I'm not daring enough to mess up the rom install by installing it on my own
My guess is, the partitions really throw a wrench into the equation.
Thanks!

Is the A/B partitions, that have just come out, pretty much the same on all Android devices?
Because I see on some phones with A/B it seems to all be working easier then then Essential... hmm
Anyone?

I use an Mi A1 which has A/B partitions, I wonder what is so different about the Essential then?

Nice to hear, carbonrom was mentioned with no gapps...
Are you going to try microG and Xposed on it, if so, let us know how that works out...

Actually just made a post about a huge issue I am having with Xposed that caused me to need to Uninstall it, but I really need to have it installed so I was asking for suggestions on what to do. As far as microG probably sometime soon I've been customizing the hell out of this phone.
