So I recently received my nexus 4 device and was actually debating if i should root the phone or not... however I ended up rooting it and this device been working rock solid (I highly recommend any Android user to root their device to have access to unlimited customization). Few days later I decided to flash AOKP, and I did however during the boot up process after flashing AOKP screen was stuck in bootloop mode (unicorn screen that says Initiating Swagger at the bottom)... it kept going on for almost 30 minutes, until I decided I should reboot the phone.... after reboot is complete I now see that my phone is flashed with AOKP, its by far the best ROM I have ever used Period... however here comes the downside, i have almost half of my applications missing including Playstore and many other applications.... i tried fixing the issue by rebooting, formatting, wiping data and cache, nothing seems to get my applications back.
I have few questions I would like to ask...
1. has this happened with anyone before ?
2. is there a way to fix this error and get my applications back ?
3. should I unroot the phone, then root it again and flash AOKP or that would not help ?
any answer would highly be appreciated... thanks in advance.
i tried unrooting the device...
everything seems to be fine until i type in the command (./fastboot-mac -w update image-occam-jop40c.zip) i get the following... sending 'system' (531281 KB)... ERROR: usb_write failed with status e00002be
FAILED (data transfer failure (No such file or directory))
any suggestions ?
You have to flash the rom AND the Google apps package.
You can find it here:
http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
Flash that in recovery after EVERY rom flash.
reply,
Thanks for the reply, I figured it could be the google apps package... If you don't mind am kind of naive when it comes to these stuff, would it be possible to tell me how to do it step by step ? Id be really thankful to you.
Ps. I have no clockwork recovery installed on my phone, and I cant seem to download anything with playstore missing
additional info
I can't seem to get into Recovery mode, every time I try to I get the android logo with the open chest and the red triangle in the middle, and it says ( No command) under it... any advice?

That's the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to flash gapps.
Boot into the bootloader and flash a customs recovery. Either cwm or twrp.

actually, dont flash the gapps after EVERY rom. some aosp roms like aokp and cm need the gapps flashed seperately. but many aosp and stock roms come with the gapps preloaded. just remember to read the whole original post and the directions to know what and how to flash and you probably wont run into problems like this again
---------- Post added at 04:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:01 AM ----------
oh and to get clockwork mod recovery follow one of the how to stickies in one of the threads, general or development, about how to use the bootloader and fastboot (just google how to get the android sdk where you get all the things like adb and fastboot) and also how to get back to stock which can be very helpful. oh and i highly recommend one you get your rom flashed to download goo manager from the play store to install twrp, its way better than cwm. and for your rom i also recommend the codefirex rom, i find aokp to still be in its earlier stages and just be a little slower and less battery life than codefirex. another good rom is xylon, its also very smooth.

the main reason I use AOKP is that it allows me to disable the navigation buttons and with fullscreen view on a device like nexus 4 especially after you get the screen color fixed with (nexus 4 display control) this is a TRUE BEAUTY. I replaced the navigations buttons with LMT, i find it highly functional and stylish.
Am thinking I should return the phone back to stock, then start all over again to avoid all errors, only issue is I have no idea how to return it to stock.... tried using mac and pc but both wasn't working properly... I guess am missing something here. Any recommendations ?
If rooted, download Rom manager, open it, flash custom recovery. Boot into recovery after install. Touch install zip from sdcard, flag GAAPS zip file and reboot phone .
There you'll have the Google apps package now.

Strange happenings going on with my Nexus S.
It has been rooted for a while and have been running Genexus S 2.0 ROM which was fine to start with but I have recently been getting lag issues with the screen, issues with character selection on the keyboard etc.
However, I have had a few crashes when the phone has been charging and the phone is being not just hot, I'm talking boiling to the touch!
I have rebooted into recovery but....recovery img and boot img have disappeared. They have been present in recent weeks but for some reason they have disappeared.
I have reinstalled clockworkrecovery via ROM Manager a couple of times but there is still no change. TBH I'm sick of the issues I've had with the phone since rooted and it's not for me so plan on going back to stock whenever I can, however, I need recovery!
Can anyone point me in the right direction to sort this out and if possible not by plugging my phone into a PC. I am away with work and don't have my own computer for a while.
Thanks
you can always flash the boot recovery back into the phone, just follow any of the how to root guides

its because you installed your recovery via rom manager. you want to reflash your clockwork recovery through fastboot so that it will stay permanently. look in the development section for instructions.

i got to say that youre the only xda mod, that i know of, that also helps out people with issues and not just xda/site stuff. thank you!
Thanks for your help guys.
I flashed the cwm recovery via fastboot and loaded up cm7 but each new ROM I used (that had been there previously) didn't boot into a fresh version, it had elements of the previous versions I had run such as MIUI (the clock), the Genexus S 2.0 drag and drop lock and wallpaper and some elements from The Infinity ROM. Very strange.
Prior to the latest mix up the phone had become very unstable, especially the touch screen and I am not exaggerating when I say the phone just wasn't usable. I even considered getting a BlackBerry Torch 9810!!! I mean wtf?!
Anyway, I have reflashed a stock nandroid backup via CMW and relocked the bootloader. I had a few permission errors but when I rebooted that seemed to go away. I'm now quite happy I'm back to standard because of the reliability issues I experienced.
When I reboot to recovery it comes up with a White box with an arrow coming out with the android at the side of it. Is this normal or should there be a standard recovery img? However, I have noticed if I press the volume up and power again it goes to a purple recovery screen with wipe cache partition, factory reset etc.
Also, all my ROMS and Titanium Backup files are still viewable from recovery, is that usual? Would I be ok to mount as USB and delete those individual files?
Thanks
When you switch roms you MUST wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvic cache. Then flash the new rom.

Hi Everyone,
Sorry my first ever post is a question, but I have looked around a lot and can't find an answer for my problem.
I have a 16gb nexus 7 that I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader. I have successfully flashed both CM10 and AOKP roms, but each time flashing the GAPPS afterwards results in absolutely nothing. The ROMs work fine, and I can still access the Play store, but none of the GAPPS show up in my Applications folder. I have tried this multiple times with multiple GAPPS zips.
I flashed ClockworkMod Recovery, but interestingly I can only get into it by rebooting via CM10 or AOKP reboot to recovery options, or through ROM Manager's reboot option. If I manually enter fastboot then try to go to recovery it hangs on the Google loading page.
I am okay with the CWM issue, but I would really like to be able to flash the GAPPS zips! I change ROMs a lot (I have a Galaxy Nexus, which I have never had any issues with), so manually installing the google apps each time would be a pain.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hello,
Are you flashing this right after flashing the rom or are you booting into the rom then restarting and flashing the gapps?
You should be doing this...
Be sure to back up your current ROM!
Update your radio to the above recommended version if you have not already done so.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Format /system (mounts and storage->format /system).
Install the zip from SD card.
Install the gapps zip from SD card.
ONLY IF YOU ARE ON NON-TOUCH CWM RECOVERY: Install darkside-wipe-cache-only.zip (which fixes bootloop due to bad /cache format)
ONLY IF YOU ARE ON TOUCH CWM RECOVERY: Format /cache (mounts and storage->format /cache)
Reboot. Let it sit for a few minutes after the first boot. Be patient.\
good luck!!
Yes I flash the gapps immediately after flashing the rom without actually booting in to the rom first.
I have been doing a full wipe, but I did not re-format so I will try that later when I have time.
Also, never heard of the darkside wipe cache zip so that is probably my issue with the bootloop!
As for the radio, I could be totally wrong, but does the nexus 7 even have a radio file..? I thought that was just for phones or tablets that can connect to network carriers.
Thanks for the help!

hey i tried everything you said and still no gapps... I tried to do a titanium backup of the stock rom then use that to install the gapps on the aokp rom but that didnt work either. I did notice though that when I did not install the gapps package the play store wasnt installed, but if i install the gapps zip, the play store is there...just none of the other apps.
Just search apps by Google inc on play if you have the store

It would nice to not need to do that every time as I frequently flash new roms but oh well I will do that for now. Maybe it will change with a new update
I have the same issue. Using CWM I've installed two different roms and two different gapps versions (using the recommended procedure) both times my Nexus 7 boots up & the only Google app installed is Play Store.
I'm having a related problem with GAPPS but it's much more severe.
I have installed the Kaos rom on a Nexus 7 (and that install would ONLY succeed if one de-selected the GAPPS option during the Kaos installer process, otherwise you'd be thrown into infinite boot animation land) and everything was looking perfect.
Then i attempted to install GAPPS from a zip that was linked in a Nexus 7 thread. the specific package i used was...
gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip
... and ever since that point the tablet cannot boot into the Android environment. It will attempt to, then hang for longer than it should at the Google logo screen (tiny lock at the bottom) and when that fails it will boot into the recovery environment.
I'm running TeamWin Recovery 2.2.1.4 because ClockworkMod constantly failed to work properly for me (never could manually launch recovery from the bootloader, but TWRP will launch manually just fine)
The TeamWin Recovery can see everything and even give me a terminal, and fastboot still sees the device just fine at the bootloader... so there's a lot i could try, if i only knew where to start.
The REAL annoying thing, however, is that i performed a backup just prior to attempting the GAPPS install (because of all the trouble this gives people) and now TWRP cannot successfully restore that backup. it can see both of the backups that i have made (stock and Kaos initial successful boot) but whenever i attempt to swipe to the side to start the restore, the whole recovery environment just restarts on me.
help? suggestions?
well, i see that i wasn't running the latest TWRP for the Nexus 7. i just used fastboot to flash to ver 2.3.2.1 and that appeared much happier.
it was able to see the two recovery images made by the earlier version and it's now restoring...
... and now we're rebooting...
... and KAOS appears to be proper booting...
... and back in business to the way it was before i tried the GAPPS install!
(this single run-on post -- as opposed to a series of small update posts -- brought to you by the faster processor and nice system specs of the Nexus 7 which kept on ticking along as i was typing here in my browser!)
---------- Post added at 06:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------
and now i have successfully installed GAPPS using a 4.1.2 package... gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
it's amazing how things can go sideways so quickly if you're simply using the wrong version of one thing or another. and it's also amazing how quickly these threads become outdated given the very fast pace that Android keeps evolving and how fast the dev community pops up with new packages, roms, and mods of other roms.
speaking of which, the KAOS fork of CyanogenMod is excellent! i already love the Apex launcher more than the stock Trebuchet (little interface tweaks like a quick menu popup whenever you long press a home screen item, for example) and i think this is a wonderful rom package.
great work, and a wonderful installer... just remember to NOT include GAPPS during the initial rom install process! uncheck that box!
UPDATE: gapps install incomplete / market installs failing
So it seems that while my Nexus 7 now shows the Play Store (which i still find myself calling the Market because Play Store is a colossally dumb name) i don't see most other Google apps.
Background sync and all that is working, but maps and youtube and such are not there. I've read that these are removed from newer versions of the GAPPS pacakges because it takes up less space and said apps are in the Market anyway.
however, when i search for them and pull them up in the Google Market they fail to install. i do not know why this would be. it doesn't matter a WHOLE lot to me, because i don't use GMail, i run Brutal Maps instead of stock Google Maps, and NextVid is far better than the stock, bloated YouTube player.
still, it made me curious.
so, it appears that i am not the first person to experience the "Unknown error code during application install" error, naturally. the (very simple) fix is in this thread.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992241
This is my first TouchWiz device, a GS4 on Sprint. I've tried to install several custom ROMs and I keep getting errors that seem like GApps won't launch or isn't launching correctly. I've tried the FreeGS4 ROM and the ForceROM with the same effect. I am not allowed yet to post in either ROM's thread and neither seem to mention a specific GApps download. I have been using the Gapps that GooManager downloaded automatically as I have not found another.
Any tips would be appreciated. More information available upon request as I'm not sure exactly what is necessary.

Make sure and back up your current rom through recovery first then do a wipe of system and data partitions. Install new rom wipe cache and dalvik cache, fix permissions then reboot

Okay, I'm really new to TWRP. It's completely different from CWM or the process is. I'm having a lot of trouble. Please give me as straight forward of steps as possible.
All I need is to install a ROM and GApps. Mostly, I want to know if GApps is included in the ROMs I specified: FreeGS4 or ForceRom2.1.
If anyone would rather suggest a ROM that they prefer and the GApps to go with it, I would try that too.
If I can't get this to work soon I will try the UnRoot method to see if I can get this phone working.

You don't flash Gapps with any touchwiz rom. So any rom you find in the Android Development forum be sure to NOT flash Gapps.
And other than a few minor differences TWRP and CWM accomplish the same basic thing, instructions from what to do in recovery will be same in either recovery unless specified.

Alright. That could have been my issue. Somehow my bootloader was corrupted too, so could only get into Download mode. Trying to format back to MDC right now, then will see if I can root and install TWRP again.
This is a lesson for everyone: Don't drink and mod.
One last question: Using ODIN to flash back to MDC, can anyone estimate the time it might take to reboot? I believe I waited around 20 minutes last night and the boot never finished. Not sure what to do at this point.
yea thats deff your problem bro.. u cant flash gapps on a touch wiz rom.. gapps is only for an aosp rom

So this evening decided to go back to CM11 after using stock for a while on my N4. So I downloaded the latest CM11 nightly, along with the latest PA gapps. I did a full wipe in recovery, then flashed CM11, followed by a flash of the gapps. However, it immediately appeared that the gapps file must have been bad (gave me the red exclamation triangle android background). So rebooting leaves me in a endless bootloop. Only problem is I don't have another gapps file saved on my SDcard. And to make matters worse (yeah I know) I didn't nandroid my system prior to this, though I do have everything (apps, etc) saved on my SDcard. Now my problem is, I need to find a way of loading a new gapps file onto my phone. I have tried ADB, but I suspect that as a result of the factory reset I no longer have USB debugging on, as I can't connect to the device in ADB. I am becoming more than a little stressed right now, as I need to get this phone back up and running. Does anyone have any idea what I might do next?? I am not a total newbie to flashing roms, been at it a few years now, but this is the first time I've been stuck like this. Ugh! Please help! :crying::crying::crying:

Nobody has a suggestion? This isn't looking good...
What is strange to me is, even after doing another factory reset, it still boots to the same CM boot screen and is stuck in a boot loop. I have no idea what is going on here. And at the very least, at least I have everything still on my SDcard (backups of apps in TB, and all my other locally saved stuff...just that now I have no idea of how to get to any of it, or how to load on a working rom & gapps so I can have something to boot to!)
Do a full wipe, flash CM11 without Gapps. It should boot but you won't be able to sign in to google and all that jazz. Just use the browser and download another gapps, then flash it.
Your computer won't detect ADB because ADB is only when android is running. If you're running a sideload-enabled recovery, you can push a zip and flash it through ADB.

Hmmm, yeah it could be.
1 : Download a ROM. Check the MD5 checksum.
2 : Copy the ROM to your ADB folder and rename it to something easy (eg: Rom.zip)
3 : Fire up CMD, Navigate it to your ADB folder
4 : Boot your phone into recovery, find for a function called "ADB Sideload" or something along those lines.
5 : In CMD, type in "adb sideload *romname*.zip
6 : ??
7 : Enjoice.
This can be done for any type of flashable files.
or yknow. just return back to stock and do everything all again if you're uncomfortable doing this.

Hang on....sideload looks like its working! But I ain't out of the woods yet, won't celebrate til it gets there, AND if it boots...
Now I guess the best bet is to try a fresh rom rather than a fresh gapps, would you say? I'm downloading both now, just wondered which would be my best bet. I mean at this point I just need something that will allow me to boot.'
By the way when a sideload is performed where is the sideloaded file saved? Just wondering where to find it when the time comes to flash.

Sounds like a plan. This time I'm loading the latest snapshot release of CM rather than the damn nightly, lol. At least we know that that version *should* reliably boot up....and we'll know shortly...going to save the rom to the appropriate folder, rename, and sideload....

I think all nightlies should boot up (i mean it IS cyanogen mod...). I think you just got a bad download. Remember to check MD5 if it's available!

WOO HOO! Friggin thing booted, baby! Hello CM welcome screen! Never looked so beautiful!
So now I just need to 1) get a fresh gapps, 2) load it on to my SD via android file transfer, do a fresh wipe in recovery, flash CM again, followed by the fresh gapps, and I should be in business...yes?

Congrats!
You can try just flashing gapps on top of it, that's what I do. but if you're worried you can do a full wipe and flash it again. Completely up to you!

Hey thanks a million for the help on this one! Like I said, I've done quite a bit with rom tinkering over the last few years, but sideloading was a first for me tonight. Though it is very good to know for the future! More importantly, however (and this is really not like me) in the future I either A) have to make sure I have enough SD space for nandriods, or B) keep a previous, working zip of a rom on the SD when I go to flash a new one (which is what I have always done but have not recently).
Again, thanks a bunch!!!! :highfive:

Hey guys,
I've known about this whole modding thingy going on for android phones, and i've decided to give it a shot myself.
I took a backup of everything (copied everything.. didn't use any app for that. not too smart of me..)
Anyway,
I looked around and decided to install Hells Core kernel on my phone, along with Cyanogen Mod.
So after installing the SDK on my computer, unlocking the phone, rooting the phone with SuperSU and Clockwork Mod,
I got to installing the kernel.
I put it on my phone, rebooted into recovery mode, reset all data (dalvik cache and all..)
then I installed the kernel from a zip file I put on the phone, and it all went smoothly.
However, when I reboot my phone - it's all messed up!
The screen is all half yellow, and half is just black - not even text.
In the yellow part, you can hardly tell that it's the first welcome screen - because the text is too big to fit the screen.
Anyway, the whole phone is fk3d up.
I just wanna put it back to the original stock kernel and rom...
How do I do that now?
Thanks a lot guys..
This is urgent >_<
Just flash cm again without doing any wipes. It'll get rid of the kernel

I haven't got CM on my phone,
and I can't connect it to the computer because it needs get past the welcome screen - which I can't click on any buttons!
****EDIT ****
nvm, I managed to do it
I used android toolkit, and now the computer can access the phone's internal memory.
Thanks!
***** EDIT #2 ******
Nop, doesn't work yet...
when I copy the other kernels zip's, everything seems okay
but when I reboot my nexus to install from the recovery mode, the zip are corrupted - and when I access from my computer it shows they're 0 bytes.
as if nothing was copied..
What can I do ???
***** EDIT #3 ******
Well, managed to get the phone to work!
Not getting anywhere near Hellscore now..
What I did was run 'install zip from sideload', and then from the pc I used 'adb sideload <FRANCOROCKS>.zip', and that worked
Phone's now up and running, installing my apps again.. lol
Scared to change the ROM though.. after all this >_<

Because you did all this the wrong way. Learn and study before flashing anything, it's not about some simple zip flash. that simple zip file can brick your phone if flashed without knowledge.
hells core kernal is not a CM based kernal that's why you got broken screen. there is a separate thread for cm based kernals. do flash a custom rom like Mahdi slimkat etc they offer great features but only after fully understanding what you are doing

Well, I flashed the kernel before I put the ROM, so this happened with HC kernel on stock ROM.
:X
you probably flashed the wrong version of the kernel
You did get the CM Version of Hells Core, right?
This happens to me all the time, just reflash the Roms .zip and you'll be fine.
Sorry to say that, but from your comments it's obvious that you messed up with wrong kernel's version and is not a fault of this specific kernel.
Also the zero kb downloads show bad downloads on your side again.
