CM9.... What did I do???

I have a question for some of you. I had been doing some research on CM9 for NC. I found a download, ( Though not on this site) along with some additional help from this website.
I installed everything to my NC and low and behold, it all works!! It looks just like my Toshiba Thrive tablet, except it's showing that its running Android 4.0 version.
Now for the drawbacks.... it has NO sound, NO Market, etc... Is there any way to install those? Or has this been the problem all along??
Thanks!

What links you got the CM9 from?
I got CM9 running with sound and market is working just fine.

I knew better than to trust another site, but ... I went to androidfamily.net. It had a "how to" to install CM9 ...
Could you give me downloads you used?
Thanks alot!!!

Check out the Samiam nightly builds in the development forum.

You basically need to flash three files that are available from there. Latest nightly main CM9 ROM, Google Apps (Gapps) and the telephony-permissions fix.
That will give you market, working sound and best CM9 for Nook at the moment.

I see the Gapps file, and the telephony-permissions fix file, but where is the CM9 main file you mentioned? Am I overlooking it?
I tried again, using the same CM9 file, and then installed the Gapps file you mentioned along with the telephony permissions fix. Still no market. Everything else worked fine!

So do I just download the link that has today's date by it?? That's what I did, and no market. I went back re-read everything, and then downloaded everything all over again, and again... No Market. Everything else is working fine.

Are you connected to wifi? When loading a new rom, sometimes the market doesn't show up until hooked up to wife.
If this doesn't solve your problem, then I would start from scratch. Can you boot into CM recovery? If so, go into mounts and storage and format data, system and cache. Back into main screen and factory reset and wipe cache partition. (so many debates on if this is all totally necessary, but I have had glitches with installs when I have not done every one of these steps in this order).
Install CM9 (I do recommend samiam's build. It works flawlessly on my nook.)
Choose reboot option in recovery. Connect to a wireless network.
Samiam has included Rom Manager in his build. I use this to boot into recovery. Install Sam's gapps, telephony fix and boot animation fix. Reboot.
Hope this helps. Post if you need more detailed instructions.

I don't think you are flashing the right ones or are missing one of the 3. There is a patch that fixes market, boot animation and SOD issues. In unofficial cm9 forum.

I am getting a little confused. When I clicked on the CM9 build....it shows parent directory and then all the nightlies. Which one do I use? I also tried to just wipe it and reinstall CM7... I did manage to get the market running the CM7. So, I think I must have just downloaded the wrong nightly??

You can click on the latest one (Jan. 28.) and download. I always check the end of samiam's thread to see if there are any hiccups on the latest builds. I am running Jan.26 build (haven't updated yet) and it is running beautifully for me.

I have tried everything! and still no market! I believe I'm doing everything correctly, because I downloaded CM7 again, and had the market.
Is there anyone out there with the same type problem that corrected it?
Thanks!

From Recovery you want to format cache and system (under mounts). Also format data unless you already have a good working set up and you want to preserve all your settings, apps etc.
Then you should be flashing 3 zips in this order
update-encore-2012xxxx.zip where xxxx is the latest
gapps-ics-4.0.3-sam-noinit.zip from the misc folder
telephony-permission-fix.zip from the misc folder
The gapps zip in particular has the google apps including the market. Note that if you are comparing with the CM7 MiRaGe ROM then that has the gapps in including the market already in whereas with CM9 you have to flash them in separately.
If you have formatted data then when you reboot it should take you straight into a setup where you set up wifi, then sign in to your google account. The market app then should work OK.

Went to CWM and did the above ..went to mounts and storage..format cache and system, and data. After I did this, I hit the power button, once to go back to the screen to install the zips. Now, when I hit that power button, the following message came up 4 times... E: can't mount/cache/recovery.log. Could this have something to do with it??
I tried your instructions again, and No Market. You said that it would take me to a screen to set up wi fi ..but it doesn't. My screen is black, with a clock, a picture of a camera, and box that says gallery.
I am just going to have to go back to CM7!

I think I finally thought it out. For whatever reason when I put the gapp file in my NC it shows installing..but I don't think it worked. CM7...No problems! Have installed twice today and both times had the Market.
CM9... runs great...but no market!

Strange. The only thing that I can think of at the moment is that you have a bad download of the gapps file.
If you haven't tried it before then I'd suggest downloading it again. You should then just be able to flash that one on its own.
---------- Post added at 05:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 PM ----------
As a double check the zip should be 16,874,937 and you should be able to open it on PC and see the apps files in the system/app folder with vending.apk

I checked, and BTW I'm using gapps-ics-4.0.3 -sam noinit ......my download is 18,275 KB ? and when I clicked on it to check the apps files as you suggested this is what it showed... 3 folder icons with MACOSX, META-INF, system. And then directly underneath the folders were 3 other things with the same words as the top 3 ... NO vending.apk ?? I clicked on the one that had system, and all the apps are there. I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Would you tell me which gapp file your using?
Thanks for helping me!!!

I go the Gapps I use from the link
http://sphsolutions.net/android/Encore/Nightlies/Misc/
However, it looks like I got a slightly earlier one (probably 1 day before). I retrieved the current one to compare them. The later one has the YouTube app in which explains the difference in size. All the Google apps are exactly the same as in the one I use and the Vending app is there as well under system/app
If you can't see that folder then there is something wrong with your zip download.
The other difference from the earlier one I had is that it looks like the later one had been put together on a Mac system as it has the extra __MACOSX folder and a few .DS_Store folders which are not really part of the required zip but should be harmless.
Just to check I just tried installing with the latest nightly 20120128 and the later gapps version and I got the market OK.
So two thoughts: either your download is still bad or maybe you have signature verification turned on in your clockwork and that is causing this gapps install to fail whereas the main ROM is passing and also the gapps when you do CM7. I have signature verification disabled (which I think is the default). Try toggling the signature verification menu item and get it set to disabled.

What and where is the signature verification? And..... how do I get there?

Hi,
first of all thanks a lot for getting this gem available for us Mi2s users.
Testing with true dual boot, BUT installing LP on "/system" i.e system1 from CWM.
Everything good with naked Android, but now I want to install the gapps, and here it fails.
I tested gapps-lp-20141107-signed.zip and gapps-lp-20141107-small.zip (you can find it there https://yadi.sk/d/HMFRTJarcjLZq)
I first wiped /cache, /system from CWM, flashed aosp-aries-4.11.11-android-5.0.0.ivan.zip within "install from zip" in CWM.
Booted it to see how it works: fine. Rebooted to CWM and then flashed gapps.
With big gapps : no google play available, i can add a google account from the settings > accounts > add Google Account,
but then I got from Hangout, Gmail messages like "Google Play Services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
So framework services got a problem apparently.
with small gapps : I got a Google Play icon in the application menu, but as soon as it starts, it just closes making the screen flicker for a microsecond. And it's not possible to add google account in the Setting > Account.
Guys, any hint about that problem with gapps ?
EDIT: I will investigate the size problem of /system mentionned here http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/...-problem-wcm-11-20140608-snapshot-m7-epicmtd/ and go again for the gapps-small version.
EDIT2: even with disabling TDB the "Google Play Service" problem persists
Cheers

there is an update
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=2248477701&uk=3926100596

yeah Bucci, well actually in-between there was an update, that worked without a problem with the Gapps : 4.11.28.
Now this update (4.12.5, http://en.miui.com/thread-67452-1-1.html, better to give the real forum post, than DL link IMHO) removes built-in GMS and after manually flashing different GAPPS, it never works and Play forces closes.
I don't know what Ivan did with the integration of GMS in 4.11.28, but it worked fine :-/
PS: well okay, after wiping everything and flashing againg 4.12.5 + gapps-lp-small, that's indeed working. Forget about it.

[Q] Play store problem

Hi all, mainly Blefish,
I have problem with play store. I tried many versions of Gapps, but every single one with android 4.4.4 od 5 (from legacyhuawei) had given me same problem. I wipe everything excepr ext SDcard, flash rom, flash gapps, run phone, add wifi, add account, skip CM account and when I try to look for some apps on play store, it fails.
play store tells me "no connection" and i can "try again".
I checked hosts file, it's fine (only localhost to 127.0.0.1)
I checked date and time, it is synced with network.
I tried to clear cache, to disable play store, reboot, enable...
Nothing worked.
What can I do?
Blefish's roms seems to be fine, but without gapps I can'T do anything.
If Gapps has gmail, it synces, get mails, but sometimes tells that sync fails.
I really don't know.
Thanks for help.
Bottomline:
it's U8800.
I will really love to see @Blefish if he can find anything usable. Maybe I am just using bad gapps, because gapps source thread mentioned in his rom thread is abandoned and wiped.

Hi @Blefish,
Yes, I wrote to you on legacyhuawei too when I tried Lollipop.
I would like to send some logs, but I don't know what to log and how to log it. Is there any information that can help you? Some thread or something?
Thanks.
I tried exactly that gapps you provided now, but with same issues. Account logged, play store cant connect.

[Q] pa gapps problem for several apps

hi all
I'm just upgraded to the new pa gapps full, all apps works fine except Google+, YouTube, and hangouts. it seems that not able to pop up login window, just see the screenshot.
and I've found there is no Google+ at Sync list.
what am I supposed to do to make YouTube work? I don't intend to flash the system rom again ....or change to another rom...

There is no more pa gapps. Hasn't been for a couple months. Use something newer

Lineage 15.1 Android Auto not working

I have installed Lineage 15.1 on my OnePlus 2 (20181016 nightly) and everything works apart from Android Auto. Every time I try to launch it I get the following error message.
"Something Went Wrong - Google Play Services doesn't seem to be working right now"
I installed Open Gapps (full) at the same time (no reboot between installs).
I have tried full wipes and resets.
Please can anyone suggest a solution? Can I try a more recent version of Google Play Services from APK mirror and if so do I need to uninstall the current version first?

I don't know if this is related, but my OPT with LineageOS 15.1/same nightly doesn't work with Android Auto unless I enable developer options and enable ADB debugging. Sometimes a nightly will reset that back to disabled, though usually it's sticky and doesn't change across nightlies. The last time it happened was about a month ago.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried that both in the car and just running the app from the phone and no joy.

When I first installed 15.1, I used MindTheGapps-8.1.0-arm64-20180320_011441. I had been having some camera issues with OpenGapps, and used MindTheGaps with some self installed camera software instead. Worth a shot perhaps. Also for reference my Android Auto (using autoupdate) is version 3.7.584044-release according to app info.

I have now resolved this issue by joining the Google Play services beta.
After the new version installed, I rebooted and Android Auto started working. Must be something about the version that came with the version of Lineage I installed.

Unbelievable! After searching the entire internet for a solution, this is the only thing that worked . Thanks!

Another Solution worked for me:
I had the same prolem on my Costum OS Lineage.
Then i uninstalled the GAPPS and installed the first GAPPS Version for my Android Version 8.1: (Release: 01 March 2018)
When I opened the app after that, i geted the message that the google play services is not up-to-date and i updated it through the play store.
I dont know why, but it is working now. for me.

How did you uninstall GAPPS and installed 'first' version ?
I've oneplus2 with latest LOS 15 (8.1) and GAPPS from https://opengapps.org/# (ARM64/8.1/mini).
My android auto has same issue as OP.

Download your 8.1 package from 01 March 2018 and copy it on your phone..
(Go to the page where you can download it, scroll down, click on "OLDER RELEASES" and replace from the url "releases/" with "releases/tag/20180301")
I am not able to post outside links, because i registered especially for posting this solution...
Reboot your Phone into the Recovery mode.
Then "Wipe > Advanced Wipe > System"
After this go to "Advanced > File Manager" and delete all files that starts with "/data/app/com.google..."
Now you must install your Costum ROM again and install GAPPS which you copied on your phone. (User apps and data are retained)
:good:

Thank you for guidance.
I've tried to avoid system re-install and only deal with google apps.
Version of google play installed by 12/7 opengapps was 14.7.99 110400
First attempt: removed /data/app/com.google* via "adb shell" and flashed "pico" opengapps from 3/1/2018. (original gapps were mini)
After launching "auto" it requested "google play" update but app still failed with same error (after update).
After update I got google play version 14.7.99 090408 which looks lower than installed by 12/7 gapps.
2nd attempt: downloaded "stock" opengapps from 11/28 and create gapps-config.txt to exclude unwanted google application from "stock" but kept android auto from gapps package.
Again removed "/data/app/com.google..." and flashed gapps.
It asked to upgrade "google play" (because of gmail) and after upgrade Android auto worked !
