Can you provide the link to the gapps zip you are flashing?
What apps are you looking for exactly?

The ones from here 'http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050821&page=149'

I didn't see any gapps zips on that page...
You need at least this package: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip
For CM10.1 Nightlies since they are 4.2.2 now.

I've used them but I will try again

What apps are you looking for exactly that you aren't finding?

All the google apps, I also re-flashed it and it still didn't work. :l

Well the apps that come in the gapps now are Talk, Play Store, Browser, Calendar, News, Quick Search, and some other minor stuff.
Gmail, Chrome, Voice, G+ and others are downloadable from the Play Store.

Is there not a pack with them in?

Not to my knowledge no. They are excluded in the zip as they as downloadable from the Play Store.

Make sure you reboot once with WiFi on.

As long as you have Play Store - just go in and search for any Google app, then scroll down and find the line that says MORE BY GOOGLE INC. Tap that and you'll see everything else you can install.

[Q] Play Store

Hi guys,
I've been using OmniROM for some time now and I'm liking a lot. I like their open source "philosophy" and so on but lately, I'm facing a problem that I cannot solve by myself.
I'm trying to find a way to install Play Store to gets some apps that I want/need but I don't want to install all the other Gapps that comes with the packages. I managed to get the apk but after installing it, I don't get it to work. It tries to start but before it even opens, it closes quickly...
Do I need something else in order to make it work?? Google services maybe? I wouldn't like to have more than Play Store if possible.
Greetings!

I believe PA gapps has a "micro" version which has the bare minimum needed for Play Store.
(FYI, most if not all of the Omni developers use PA Gapps - tkruzze does a great job.)

OK so I'll have to flash the Gapps...
What I don't like is that they overwrite some aosp apps :\
Ty anyway @Entropy512!
Edit: What about installing Play services + play store?? Would that be enough?

By the way @Entropy512 or anyone else, do you know which files are imperative to install Google Play (Google Play itself, GP services...)and which aren't? (Google tts...) I would like to install just the needed ones only.

I would go with Banks' minimal GApps. It's basically just Google Play

TKruzze provides multiple packages for the GApps, and most of them don't overwrite the AOSP apps.
In fact, as I read it now, only the "Google Stock Package" do replace AOSP browser, Calendar, Camera, Launcher, TTS, Keyboard and SMS by default by their Google products' counterpart. And there is even an easy way, using this package, to prevent some or all the AOSP apps to be replaced -- read TKruzze's posts to find out how.
The other packages don't overwrite the AOSP apps (except AOSP Calendar becoming replaced by Google Calendar). By default, they install the Google apps along side the AOSP ones.

Yup. That's why I suggested the "micro" package - I'm fairly certain this doesn't overwrite anything and includes the absolute minimum for the Play Store to work.
Now what is annoying is that some of the Play Store versions of Google apps have the same package names as AOSP variants which causes conflicts. Google Camera is one such example, which is the reason I'm in the process of renaming the AOSP-derived camera package in Omni.

Thanks guys, I'm gonna try out those options and see which suits me better

Lollipop is Android 5.0 so it's safe to assume yes.

I havent been able to install Google plus on a 5.0 source built rom, is there any version that works with 5.0?

I've been trying to figure that out. So far I've been unsuccessful.

GAPPS for Lollipop has been updated! Now contains working Material Google+!

Would anyone know if network location is dependent upon gapps package? maybe missing permissions?

Grab a logcat of the crash. I can't fix crashes that I can't reproduce.

Play Store, Play Services, and Gmail are out of date and I can't update the first two for some reason, it just says "App not installed" when I try to update Google Play Services to version 6.1.88 or Google Play Store to 5.0.38.

New 20141109 Gapps for Lollipop is up. Lots of new stuff included, and everything should be working normally now. Check the initial post for the full details and download link!

just to clarify, i deleted the GMS Core files from my tablet's /System/priv-app/ folder prior to reflashing, not the GApps zip
before that, i tried clearing data for Play Services, wiping cache/dalvik in recovery, installing a Play Services APK i downloaded from another XDA thread, & reflashing the 11/9 GApps zip. i would have tried the 11/7 again, but I'd already deleted that from my computer

Banks gapps problem - no play services

Hi
Everytime I install (or reinstall) Banks gapps.... I never have play services.
Opening any Google app then shows an error.
I have to manually install a play services apk... And I lose all Google accounts on the phone.
What is happening.... Can someone help please?

Does this happen with all versions of Gapps?

Because you have soo many different people and thoughts on what gapps are needed. Like I prefer to use a gapps that doesnt have google music, playstand, movies and such. All I need is play services, gmail and the libs. Everything else is bloat for me. That is why there are soo many different ones.

I don't mean why different sizes (nano, micro, standard, full, stock, etc), I mean why from different sources like Open GApps, BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps, etc.

Each one is done by someone that has different tastes in gapps. Gapps you have to remember is closed sourced so its not like one person can just put together a gapps package that fits everyone.

Yeah one uses a themed setup so the apps are transparent. The clear is transparent and the non-clear is normal. Also if you use CM themes there are add ons for theme ready gapps, so that themes can theme them properly. That is on the TBO G+ page.

Google Translate

Hi,
Can this device run the google translate app? i've upgraded it to v4.4 CM with Micro Gapps and it doesn't allow to download google translate so i spoofed another device and downloaded anyway only to have the app crash on startup. Any idea if this is possible? this is the first time i've seen such a thing.

Anyone?

Yes, it's working on latest CM 11 build. Here is the latest version downloaded today from Google Play - Google Translate 5.1.0RC04.124179590.apk
It works without Google Apps, which you can uninstall using Google Apps Remover

I have installed cm-11-20160608-NIGHTLY-mb52x, the newer versions have no modification as far as I know (CM11 Android 4.4 Nightlies Changelog).
I don't usually have gapps installed because they make the phone very slow. Last time I installed Open GApps pico, installed the apps I need from Google play, then used Google Apps Remover to delete them and make the phone usable again
