PA GAPPS 15JUL2013 installation problems - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all... I am trying to install 15jul version over 10jun one. The video of the thread says that only Dalvik cache and cache wipe are necessary.
So I did both wipes and proceded with the instalation. After installing it i went to config>about the phone and saw that version of 10jun was installed (and not 15jul as expected). What AM i doing wrong?

It's fine. Nothing is wrong. The play store will update itself anyways.

Rebooting when installing an APP (Tranquility 3.6)

Hello,
I recently installed tranquility 3.6. I cleared the cache and installed via Rom Manager. I was running OTA 2.3.340 and the install went fine. I rebooted and had no bootloop or anything.
The phone booted fine and runs fine but I can no longer install any apps. I cleared the markets cache and all that and it still would not work.
I also cannot install any app through Astro manually.
When I cleared the cache it removed the Rom Manager recovery, since I can no longer access it.
My delima is I can no longer install anything to reinstall a new rom.
Now I would like to know if the System only 2.3.340 SBF will fix this or not. I read online going into the stock recovery and doing a factory reset would work as well.
I REALLY need this back working
I fixed this problem by booting into recovery and clearing data/factory reset and clearing the cache.

I did the same thing as the post above. Fixed everything for me
I think that's a common problem for Tranquility. I had to wipe and install it a few times to get everything working properly. No issues since then though.

i wasn't able to factory reset from recovery, however i was able to factory reset from inside Android which then booted it into recovery just fine (this was after SBF'ing the first time)
apparently doing a factory reset will fix tranq

[Q] Updating paranoidandroud rom guide

I know there's a lot of info on this subject, but im still confused about a few things related to simply updating to a new version of same rom.
some says i have to wipe all, clear cache and dalvik cache every time, others talk about dirty updating which i guess is without wipe, but do i still need to clear cache and dalvik, or just dalvik cache?, and do i have to flash gapps every time i just upgrade same rom?
like going from 2.50 > the latest 2.52, what i did was:
1. downloaded both pa_grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, and gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and put them in root of my nexus 7
2. went to goomanager and clicked "flash ROMs", where i selected my grouper-2.52-27OCT2012-190304.zip, clicked "Order and flash selected" and on next screen checkmarked "Wipe cache/dalvik cache partition"
3. clicked flash, and waited..
4. did same procedure (step 2 and 3) with the gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip and now im not sure if that all i needed to do, or if there's something i don't have to do next time there a minor update.. or can i skip wipe cache?, or skip flashing gapps (unless there's a newer version of gapps)?
thanks for any answers

but i still wonder if it's needed to wipe cache/dalvik because it seems to remove some login info fx. in gmail, wallpaper and such, and if it's not needed, then i might as well not do that

If you dont wipe them, it can cause troubles.
Also, it shouldnt affect anything, doesnt for me
Edit: Gapps must be flashed everytime for PA. Forgot to mention that

Found this thread by searching.
I have a question. When you upgrade the ROM, and do all the steps listed above, does this also save the installed apps on the device?

Yes. Flashing the rom, then gapps, wiping cache and dalvik doesnt wipe any apps or apps data

[Q] OTA update not working

I have a nexus 4 which I rooted successfully and installed cm 10.1 on android 4.2.2 factory. I installed one of the nighty roms last week and it has been working fine.
today I tried to flash the cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-mako-M2.zip which was an OTA update.
I used the update option in settings and after updating to cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-mako-M2.zip successfully I wasn't sure what to do,
I knew that I had to install the gapps again but wasn't sure how. So went back to square one, booted into recovery, did a factory reset, cache wipe, delvick cache wipe and reinstalled cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-mako-M2.zip and then installed the gapp package. After that my my google apps don't work, have done restore with Titanium backup and still not working . Don't know what to do.
I have gone back and wiped cache and delvic cache again and reinstalled the gapps but still none of google apps will run.
should I do a factory reset and start the whole procedure over again and reinstall everything?
Do a full wipe, flash cm10.1 and gapps and I recommend flashin Francis kernel. Make sure its the latest

[Q] Quarx 4.3 Rom: Settings are restored after reboot and playstore not working

Hello Guys,
I have came back to tinkering with my defy and I understand that Quarx's new rom has some bugs but I haven't seen or read where this is happening? So everytime I reboot the settins are restored (wifi, background, time, etc.). I came from Quarx's 4.1.2 rom with full wipe and fresh install of 4.3 rom. Another problem is that I also flashed TJKV's minimal gapps for 4.3 and market crashes right away and now my browser is also doing the same which it hadn't before. I have been through worse with this phone but now I can't seem to get pass this problem.

Using Bootmenu v2.2-beta
Recovery-Twrp v2.6.0.0
Try a clean install. Wipe system, data and cache. Then install cm10.2, and gapps. I generally remove a couple apks from the system partition after installation

Hey there, I did wipe system, data, and cache but I think the problem is that every time I do it in twrp it says failed but it also says completed. The log says that it failed to mount data and system so I think this is causing the problem.
I used aroma to wipe sys, data, and cache before installing rom but still have the same error. Browser and playstore is currently not fc on me anymore and it is just that the settings aren't being saved after reboot.
Good, now convert data and cache to ext4 from boot menu

Hello,
I have looked quite a bit, but I can't find anything to help (perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms or something). The problem I keep running into is that, even with wiping cache, dalvik cache, and data/factory reset, gapps keeps on coming back. I've flashed the latest CM11 nightly, the latest Purity, and the latest BS Harmony, all without flashing gapps, but when it boots up, sure enough, gapps are there. Why are gapps still there, and what can I do to get rid of them?
Thank you in advance!

Yes because it has backup system yo backup gapps, if you want to get rid of gapps, go to mounts and storage on cwm and do format system, and then flash cm11 or other rom

If I'm not mistaken, some devs do add some gapps into their roms. Not all of them mind you. Also when you do a factory reset via the recovery, it doesn't wipe the system partition. Most roms will wipe it when it (rom) is flashed, so gapps from previous roms wouldn't or shouldn't be there.
