Help with Rom install mainly Gapps - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello I'm new to installing custom Roms and I am having a bit of trouble.
I am installing AOKP Milestone 1 and that goes fine but I am having trouble getting my gapps to work.
So what I do is reboot into CWM, factory reset, install aokp, install gapps 4.2.2 2013.03.01 then boot.
Once I start my titanium restore I get everything as it should but my camera app and a few other g apps like chrome show up as a little green android guy and says app not installed. I also get error messages non stop and if I try to open gmail for example it just crashes non stop.
Am I just using the wrong gapps file or something or am I missing a step?

the error message is Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped.

try a different, newer gapps http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/?rom=rasbeanjelly&device=gapps
reflash your rom and the gapps.

Issues with some Gapps

I was running the HD rom, but got tired of the old battery life, so I used Rom Manager to flash CWM recovery 3.0.0.5, then flashed my old backup of build from 2/5/11.
Whenever I try to install a newer build, my Gmail won't install, Google Voice won't install, etc. I've tried using Titanium backup to restore, I've tried downloading from the market...nothing seems to work.
Could this be related to using the new recovery ? I've tried different builds and cleared the downloads to let it download fresh again, but nothing works
You're referring to cm7 correct?
You can update to the newest build through rom manager, and select the gapps option. No need to wipe, just install latest and you should be fine.

that's what I'm doing (and yeah, CM7, sorry)
but every time it finishes downloading and installing (and I do check the GAPPS option) Market's there, but everything else seems borked with no ability to install the GAPPS
just tried it manually by flashing everything, going to try going back to the experimental recoveries
EDIT: after going back, wiping everything, then installing over, I was able to install the Gapps, fix permissions, reboot, and they finally worked
thanks

[Q] Gapps failed to flash/install

I'm currently trying to update my phone from CM11 to CM12 using TWRP. In TWRP, I factory reset my phone, then flashed the latest CM12 nightly build. However, when I try to flash gapps, TWRP says that I have a status 7 error and it fails. If I try to run my phone normally, I get errors saying that Google Play Services has stopped, Setup Wizard has stopped, etc. I have no idea where I'm going wrong, how can I fix this?

What gapps package did you download? If it is a larger set of gapps, sometimes there isn't enough space in /system to install everything, so you have to use a more minimal package, and download the additional apps from the Play Store.

GApps not responding after flash of custom ROMs.

So I want to try out the newest CM 12.1 nightlies, but can't because of an issue that keeps popping up. I can flash a ROM and GApps package just fine, but when I boot the phone, I keep getting an error message saying "Google Play Services has stopped" or the same message for any of the included apps in a GApps package. I am unable to set up the phone because the pop-up is perpetual. I've tried multiple GApps packages from the CM Wiki page, but none for 12.1 are agreeable. Has anyone else encountered this? What did you do to fix it?

Failed root using CF-Auto Root please help

As soon as the root finished installing and the device booted up, some apps where uninstalled while the google apps kept force closing. I try to open the play store but it closes before any information pops up. Do I just need to install new Gapps? I am lost and a complete noob.
Edit: I installed the latest version of Gapps and that solved the force closing issue but now every time I try and download an app, I get the "Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped working" issue.
Edit 2: The errors are not limited to Gapps. I'm also getting "android.media.process has stopped" and "Unfortunately Contact Storage has stopped".

I would suggest wiping the Dalvik/Art and caches in recovery. Rooting I prefer to flash custom recovery and flashing SuperSU manually

I used the option on SuperSU to unroot and delete the app. I think it got rid of the root and the recovery. Would I have to root my phone again, install a recovery, and then wipe the dalvik/art caches?
I can update the apps already installed but can't install new ones. Apk's install just fine.

Unrooting shouldn't touch your recovery

That happens after rooting with CF auto root. You need to boot into recovery to fix the problem by wiping cache and restore to factory default.

Google play keeps crashing LineageOS d802

I have problem with flashing LineageOS second time.
I used LineageOS before. And I've decided to flash the updated nightly build. And I do the clean flash, wipe system, and data. Flash ROM, and then flash GApps again. (I knew after that I don't have to clean flash to update my nightly because it will erase your previous google account settings)
After installation I rebooted into the system. In the first setup wizard, At Google account login, it says "checking info..." and then crashed with the message "Google Play services has stopped". I've tried many flashing methods, and also flash ROM without GApps. But it same in the system. I can't add google account and can't open the playstore either. I tried with different build and different GApps packages and it went fail and fail again. Please tell me if you have any ideas so I could run 7.1.1 again. I would appreciated it. Anyway I'm at CloudyG2 3.3 right now and using TWRP blastgator 3.1.0-1.
Thanks.
That's why it's called "nightly".
http://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/Nightly_Builds :
Nightly builds are alpha builds from the latest development code. By their nature these builds are likely to contain bugs or might even cause data loss.

Sorry to say, but you got to deal with it till the next build shows up.
