I installed CyanogenMod 7.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537457).
When I first installed it, I also installed Gapps. However, as I do not want to use Gapps anymore (like Gmail, GMaps, Googlesearch etc.), I want to get rid of them - but I am unable to do so.
I did a complete wipe in the Clockwork Recovery, meaning: wiped cache, wiped, wiped batt stats, formated sytem, data and cache and did factory reset. After that, I reinstalled CyanogenMod 7.2 again, this time without installing Gapps.... BUT: Gapps are nevertheless included.
What did I do wrong? How can I can a Cynanogenmod now on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360 without Gapps?
(Forgive me if I used wrong terminology etc., as I a new to this. I did, however, spent a lot of time searching this forum and others to find a solution before I came bothering you with my question. Thanks in advance!)
if you look at the features of that rom it says gapps are included so I dont know why you flashed it seperatly
anyway
if you want to remove any system apps install link2sd from the playstore then you can use it to uninstall any system app you want
Thanks for your answer. I just realized that Gapps are already included. As I am new, I used another, more detailled, step-by-step guide, which used the Percy Rom (with the above link), in that guide, I was told to separately install Gapps... :silly: Thanks for the other hint, too. :good:
Try to uninstall it after you flash CM 7.2

I'm CyanogenMOD BakedGoods 1.0.1
I themed it using Nextheme
I also added TrackballWake [v0.1] and TrackballSkip [v0.1]
Now..I wanted to do a fresh reinstall...and wiped everything from Recovery. After I flash BakedGoods again...and reboot. I still have the Nextheme and TrackballWake [v0.1] and TrackballSkip [v0.1] installed. Why is that?
Now I'm having problems logging into Google. It won't log In. Even when I switch to the regular CyanMod...I remember that his ROM didn't come with the Google Apps...but when I reboot...the Google Apps is still there.
I'm really confused! Why is my phone not being wiped properly?
Wipe data, wipe dalvik, reflash.
Yeah...I do that...but when I reflash...I still have the theme and addons.
Yeah I also have a feeling that wiping in recovery doesnt actually wipe everything.
As for getting the login to work, flash the gapps zip which is on the cyonogen page with his rom. Dont do any wipes just flash the gapps zip which is file gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip to be exact and it will let you login with google. I had the same problem after flashing cynogen rom coming from Desire rom.

O...I...C. Thanks! I thought that my N1 was starting to break...because I've been like flashing like crazy this past 2 weeks.
So anybody else have any ideas as to why the N1 is remembering what addons I've flashed? I've even done a Factory Reset from Settings...then went straight into HBOOT and use the Clear Storage before going into Recovery.
I would then wipe again in Recovery and then flash. Doing so actually got me a little further. It got rid of the theme colors but the theme icons were still showing up and also the trackball mod.
I **think** that some of the "themes" out there are basically modded ROMs as opposed to small theme files -- that may be completely wrong. Anyway, if they are modded roms, then wiping will not delete the ROM files (system files, inlcuding any icons).
Now, maybe this baked goods had those apps you mentioned in them.
If you really want to WIPE, and make it a definite that all the roms you've flashed are GONE, then WIPE --> flash stock rom --> reboot --> flash any custom rom
This may be the long approach, as you probably only need to wipe then flash any custom rom
Hey guys, so i'm trying to install the following items:
-SlimLp F2FS (Android L)
-M-Kernel_a73.zip
and
-Slim_full_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150213-482
I use NRT to get into TWRP and from there I follow the following steps (my system is already in F2FS mode which i reformatted from the existing Ex?? one)
Clean Flash:
Wipe syste, data, cache, dalvik cache
Flash the rom
Flash Slim gapps or L Gapps (IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAAPS AND L GAAPS IS and they take me ultimately to the same link so wtf)
Reboot
The main issue is, after the tablet reboots and opens up I don't see the play store, i don't see ANY google items and I can't install anything. It seems to me that the GAAPS zip isn't being installed properly. I've already installed the main ROM, then GAAPS, then the M kernel and nothing seems to work. I don't see any playstore icons even in the app drawer. Can someone please explain to me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks!
Can someone please help?
bump for a response
Hey guys,
Recently I flashed
ClockWorkMod recovery - v 6.0.1.9
Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly -cm-12.1-20150706-NIGHTLY-mako.zip
It all worked out (with great difficulty) and the phone works fine.
However, I have no google apps. Coming from stock factory setting to a rom with no google apps is quite difficult.
So, i tried flashing the gapps along with the rom but i keep getting a status 7 error message and the installation gets aborted, the result being when i reboot my phone i get a plethora or error messages of all the google apps which stop working (i.e none of the gapps work).
I have tried flashing the following (file names) gapp zip files with no luck.
gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-21
gapps-5.1-2015-07-03-13-41
gapps-L-4-21-15
gapps-lp-20150211-signed
BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-L-6-21-15
pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150315-signed
Even the gapps link on the cyanogenmod wiki page does not work. ( i think i included that filename in the above list)
On reading other forums, members say that the recovery must be updated.
Quite honestly i am quite apprehensive to do anything to the recovery as i got stuck into a bootloop once and it took me a day to get out of it.
P.S i am a complete amatuer in this process, this is the first custom rom i flashed after staying on stock factory images for 2 years.
I really do need help, as no other rom works well except the cm 12.1 and itwould be absoutely brilliant if i have the google apps too!
Thanks in advance.
solution found
Hey there, I have the s4 (GT-i9505)
I had the same problem until today and I have found the solution to it,
I updated my cm12.1 nightly to 20150706,
Downloaded slim gapps 5.1.x mini latest (20150706), [I searched for it on Google]
Tried flashing the cm and then the gapps but it didn't work, and gave me all the errors of apps that have stopped which was very annoying.
So then I did a little research and figured out that I was using twrp v2.6.0.0 which was quite old , so I never gapps after the root. So then I updated it to the latest version by connecting my phone to the PC in download mode and downloaded the twrp v.2.8.0 (latest) and recovery booted my phone.
Factory reseted my phone, installed both the cm12.1 and gapps by selecting the zip files and then flashing them. Wiped the dalvik cache. Finally rebooted my phone.
And to my surprise it actually worked. Thank god that now I have the play store and all the other apps without any annoying popups.
I'm on my phone so I can't seem to be able to upload any links .
I'm sorry you gotta have to search on Google for the download links.
Have fun buddy. Hope it works on your nexus 4. Enjoy !!
Got it working!!
So, followed some forums ( including mehsan23) and updated my custom recovery. The most surprising thing is that you can do this by downloading zip files of the latest cmw recovery and flash them on to your existing recovery and the recovery automatically updates.
Then flashed the gapps on cm12.1 wiki page and it worked! So relieved! However the Google app crashes but its alright I can do without it.
Thanks guys!!
P.s thanks again mehsan23
Hi,
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 and installed CyanogenMod 12.1 on it.
I flashed Open Gapps on it (I took Pico version for ARM) and I made the Wipe cache (I made a Wipe data before installing CM12.1) but I have big issues with it : there are a lot of errors like "google play service crashed", etc.
I came to the conclusion that I made a mistake with my version of Open Gapps.
I try to install TK-Gapps to replace it but I always have a Error code 40
On the TK-Gapps thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/tk-gapps-t3116347) it's said that about error 40 :
#40 - NON-TK GApps Currently Installed: Your device has an incompatible GApps package currently installed
Solution: Read FAQ #7 for an explanation and step by step instructions to fix

But the link to the solution is dead !

Hello,
TK Gapps were updated long ago.Try a recently updated one.Here's one you can try opengapps.org
___
v7
XDA Assist
That's why you get error 40,
You attempted to install TK-GApps over Open GApps. You need to wipe /system and install ROM + new GApps package.
I'm using Open GApps Pico 20151211 and it's fine.
Sent from my GT-I9500
From what I've seen, opengapps is pretty much like Russian roulette. Most of the times you get a good package, but at some point you'll get a bad one.
Try tomorrow's open gapps. Maybe they will work. My suggestion is to find an gapps package that works for you and just stick with it. The gapps apps will be updated anyway once you have installed and booted up the phone.
Ok for that.
KrasCGQ, you were right. I made a wipe system and reinstalled the rom.
At first it didn't work but finally, i don't know why but it came back to normal
Thanks for your help
:crying:hi,
I have recently installed Resurrection Remix ver 5.8.5-20171122 athene final to my G4 ,
(it's android 7.1.2)
whatever I try I cannot get gapps sorted out ... via TWRP I have individually tried open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190327.zip,
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20190327.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20190327.zip
(all downloaded direct from gapps site)
according to TWRP each one installed ok, but when I reboot my phone I don't have them showing in my app drawer -
there are just the 23 are so apps that the rom installed.
never before have I come across this, so any help would be appreciated
SOLVED!
in TWRP I wiped everything, including system, Dalvik cache & cache
then simply flashed the rom and gapps again ... BUT
at the same time, without a reboot
initially I had installed the rom and rebooted, not knowing gaps was not included,
so like the silly old 74 year old I am I forgot the basics!
