I'm pretty new to the Nook Color forum, but have been around flashing ROMS/GAPPS for a while. So I flashed the latest CM11 nightly build and associated GAPPS on a newly formatted and imaged SD. Everything looked good on first glance, but I could not run any google apps. I know that the Play Store is not included in the GAPPS zip and in fact it's a pretty stripped down version, but something doesn't makes sense.
I inspected the /system/app folder and noticed that there wasn't a google framework apk even though that file is in the GAPPS zip. Also Gmail got installed, but naturally did not work. I tried sideloading google framework and the play store but to no avail. I've been scouring the forums to see if I could find some direction, but haven't found my particular problem.
Does anyone have any advice on how to get google services working?

I had the same problem and I watched the install carefully and all of the GApps packages that I was using were failing part way through and not completing the install far enough to get to the Play Store install. The Play Store is in the GApps packages. The way I solved this was to try all off the packages on the following URL until one of them installed Play Store before the install failed:

I had no problems using the gapps mentioned in the first page of the CM11 Install thread.
Did you use the new generic-sd-rev8b-zip mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941858
You might try formatting the sd card again, install cm11 first, then install gapps after the first boot up.

gapps package is: gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
install: copy the zip to the root of the SD card, reboot into SD recovery
Messages: the first part seems to be normal, then there are a few errors that pop up which start with
cannot access tmp/install-optional.sh
I confirmed there is an install-optional.sh file in the zip
I also see where it is called in the updater-script in the zip and the lines after that are failing as well.

It is normal that the install-optional.sh would fail. But you said the lines after it fail too. You mean the 'set_metadata_recursive" lines are failing? If so, does it say why?

Okay, I rooted my N1 with Universal Androot and removed the stock Froyo Twitter app without backing it up. (Shame on me.) Now, I can't update to 2.2.1 because of it (a status 7 error complaining about not finding /system/app/Twitter.apk)
I have, at the advice of some other forum posts I've read, installed Twitter from Android Market and backed it up to the sd. Renamed it Twitter.apk and used the Terminal Emulator to copy it to /system/app. That worked and the file is there, but the update still will not apply. Do I also need a .odex file? Is there any way to update at this point?
Any help would be super appreciated. THANKS!

grab it from an older update like from frf91 update.. then do adb push /system/app

put the twitter app in sdcard then go to terminal and do

reboot then apply it.. i had trouble with amazon and i did it that way and it worked well

It looks as though I can't flash the GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader and installing a new recovery, correct? I'm really not that motivated if that's the case. I appreciate the information.
OK, just download the GAPPS, then use something like estrongs file manager to unzip to a folder of choice (with estrongs, longpress and select extract).
The Twitter apk will be in the extract folder/system/app. Just click the apk to install...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
BTW, if you have root, you may as well install a custom recovery (without touching the bootloader).
Easy way with ROM Manager (has Clockworkmod and Amon-Ra), or use adb if you wanna learn something...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Thanks for the tips. I'll check it out tomorrow when I can make a data transfer. I am doubtful that installing from the zip will solve much since I already loaded the app and its already in the system folder.
could someone verify whether or not the Twitter app has a corresponding odex file that I might need?
I ran into the same problem when I removed Amazon Mp3, but I was impatient so I ended up reflashing the stock rom and then updating.
There is a thread that has all n1 updates look for it and download froyo fr91 update then unzip it go to system app and look for twitter apk then put in sdcard and do commands again .. I tried to do with market twitter and it failed so I did it the way I'm explained andnworkd

I rooted my Kindle Fire and the only thing that isn't working is the Google Play Store. I used Kindle Fire Utility to root my device. When I open up Google Play, it says:
The application Google Play Store (process.com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I've tried installing the apk various ways but it's the same result every time.
Any helped appreciated.
Did you move it to /system/app and chmod 755 before installing?
I had this problem for awhile myself and it took me hours to find a solution. What I did was after I rooted my kindle and flashed it over to cm9 reloaded I noticed gapps was not working. So to fix this I rebooted Into twrp and reflashed the gapps zip rebooted once more and my problem was solved. Hope this helps

Flashing insecure stock rom 6.3 did the trick.
It was working. I could navigate through the market and look for apps but when I went to install Spotify, it went back to that error message. After that, I try opening the market and it shows the error message.
I'll be honest; I'm a little lost on what everyone said above. All I've been doing is downloading the apk's from the Internet and throwing them on my downloads folder. I open ES File Explorer and download the apk's. Is there anything simple I can try?

Do you have the zip on the CWM sd? And don't use 'install update'. Use install from SD or something like that where the next dialog is picking the zip to install.
Edit: And if you are already doing all of that you might want to toggle verification or asserts. And you are sure the zip is a good one? Did you try looking at it on your PC?

Do I need to name the folder as something?
Also after I extract the file into a new folder, do I just drag and drop the file on to the sd card?
Any other info is appreciated! Thanks
I'm pretty sure that if you have the 1.4.1 stock zip, you just install that using CWM and it will give you a stock Nook; you shouldn't have to unzip anything. If that's not working try the instructions here to get back to stock
You don't extract a rom zip. Place it on sdcard and then select it from recovery

Hey,
after tinkering around for some days I came to the conclusion, that the playstore crashes because of the Download Manager.
I tried to sideload the download manager from my phone but that didn't work since the Kindle's missing some framework. (newer android on phone)

I've just uploaded DownloadProviderUI.apk in my original post. Try these maybe this will work. Otherwise you could also try to patch your Google Play to a different version with Lucky Patcher (just google for it ) ('Toolbox' -> 'Install modded Google Play Store' -> select another version)
Also, now whenever I restart the tablet, I get a "com.google.process.gapps has stopped" message twice. I'm not sure what's causing that. It's probably from following the 5 different tutorials I've found. lol
I tried a few different Play Store version, but I'll give that Lucky Patcher a shot.
Do we need the DownloaderProviderUI.apk file too maybe? Maybe you would be so kind as to post that too?

I renamed the original DownloadProvider and DownloadProviderUi apks, adding '.bak' to the end, then moved the apks from this thread in there and changed the permissions.

From inside ES File Explorer go to tools > move down to root explorer and click on that (don't click on the word on.) Now click on "mount r/w > set permissions for both to rw and click OK.
Now choose device in you ES Explorer and go to data then app (or where ever your apk is downloaded.) Long press and select copy. Then click the device option again and go to system > app > paste.

I've got a solution:
Install GPlay Store as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2365224
Then follow this solution:
Backup your Downloads App via Titanium Backup
Download the files attached to my post to your device
Copy the DownloadProvider.apk AND DownloadProviderUi.apk into your /system/app directory
Set the permissions to rw- r-- r-- for both

I used Kindlefree, just google for a free search than that should set up google play store but it will not open on the kindle kfsowi amazon 7'' version, simply replaceing everything with what you said to do worked first try your the man!
Yesterday, I installed PhoenixOS v2.5.9.375 on an old laptop, and I must say that I really like the Android experience on a laptop that I thought was too old to be good for anything. One problem that I am having though is that I cannot update Google Play Services which is preventing some of the GApps that I want to use from working. I tried using the instructions in this thread to fix the problem, but sadly they do not work with this version of the OS, and I get an error message saying "App not installed" when I try to fix it this way. I also so this, which looked promising until I learned that it requires a dual boot into Windows, and I am using PhoenixOS exclusively on my laptop, meaning that this is ruled out as an option.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I am having the same issue with my Google Play Services, but the one I provided in the thread works with Google Play Games at least. I wonder why Phoenix OS comes with version number beginning with 070... This version is for x86 and for Android 4.0+ nodpi (according to apkmirror). Shouldn't Phoenix OS come with 270 or 480 since Phoenix OS 64-bit runs on Android 7.1.1 (32-bit runs on 5.1)? If so, my instinct is telling me that we have to forcefully install the updated Google Play Services (probably along with Google Play Store and Google Services Framework) to get it working correctly. This cold probably be done with root, so at least we know we can fully root the OS and work our way from there.
I have that problem also before... I downloaded the updated Google Play service in apkmirror, tried to manually installed it but still it wont install... But what I did in order to fix it is first to disable the Play Service on the App Settings and then I use Root Explorer to locate the location of the Gplayservice which is /system/priv-app/GmsCore. so what I did i rename the GPlayService that I downloaded into GmsCore.apk and then replace the app on /system/priv-app/GmsCore and change permission to "rw-r-r". and re-enabling back the GPlayService on that App Settings and reboot.... at Viola its fix... now I dont have an error on it anymore...

If this really works, then I will update my thread. What variant and version did you download? Can you provide a bit more information?
Thank you for the info, this looks very promising, please could you let us know which version you downloaded
Hi all,
This is how I got it working, several ways actually:
Using the toolkit http://bbs.phoenixstudio.org/en/showthread.php?tid=9661
Extract the system.img from the downloaded installation EXE or copy the system.img from your install directory
Make sure you download the GAPPS7.1 in the above post and put it in the \tools directory of the toolkit
Follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/repack
Copy the system.img back to your installed directory (C:\PhoenixOS)
Hacking it yourself
Download the latest GAPPS 7.1 PICO
Replace the APK in the GAPPS package over the ones installed on your PhoenixOS
Does this method require you to have a dual boot setup? Because I don't.
Android PC tool works!!
Used the PC tool and it worked flawlessly. On another note i have been trying to tinker with the OS and found out that the system cannot be mounted as r/w. Tried the command
Code:
su mount -o rw,remount /system
which gives me /dev/loop0 is write-protected mounting read-only. Is there any way fix to this.

Hi, I put the gapps in the tools directory, but I don't understand what you mean by follow the toolkit to unpack/update GAPPS/ repack. Am I supposed to make those folders? When I go to the unpack folder, just my system image is in there.
