Hello all,
I am fairly new to rooting so please bare with me, I'll keep this short since I know I screwed up big time. I have a Nexus 7 2012 running 4.2.1, I rooted it no problem. My issue is that I had the cyanogen mod rom and the gapps that I wanted to flash but couldn't flash the cyanogen, so I flashed the gapps. Needless to say..now google doesn't work (youtube, gmail, etc.). Tried to restore, but it keeps doing the same thing and it won't update at all. Still running the stock recovery and just wanted to know how to fix this problem so that I can eventually get on android 4.4.4.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, but I tried that and once it comes back up I still get the "Unfortunately, Gmail, Youtube, Google Play Music, & Text-to-Speech has stopped." Should I try to manually update to 4.3, I read that I can't get to 4.4 without being on the earlier version.
Flash the stock gapps.

well i just tried flashing froyo on my nexus one and it worked. but for some reason, flash sites did not work. i tried hulu, it didnt wor. i tried cbs.com, nada. flash is just not working and thats the only reason why i was soooo eager for froyo. i was on the desire rom first but i wiped and downloaded the file from MoDaCo and flashed it but nothing. i guess i will be going back to CM 5.0.6 for now. any body got any answers for my issues? i understand it just came out and people need time to understand it but any help, if there is any, would be really appreciated
PS, i really dont want to go back to stock....or do i have to? my N1 is rooted but idk what the problem is
Install Flash from the market.
i did. its the first thing i installed. i tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it and nothing
okay i got it. i installed CM 5.0.6 and then flashed froyo and it worked. its great
I recently went back to m y Nexus 7 Grouper, and it told me there was an update for the ROM.
So I updated, not realizing it went to 5.0.2 Lollipop. Google Play didn't work, and i had sync issues with Gmail.
PA Gapps thread is close, and all the links are removed.
Can someone recommend a GAPPS for PA? The one I thought I found just keeps failing to load all types of services and I cannot get to my home screen.
(and yes, I searched)
Thanks,
Evo

Here is the new thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/reborn-gapps-5-t3074660
I've tried Paranoid Android 4.6 and CM 11, both with the same result.
I could not get any custom bootloader to install, aside from safestrap. This seems to be on there ok now, and I can install PA or CM roms from my sd card.
When they are finished installing though (along with Gapps), when it boots into the OS I instantly get the popup telling me the process com.android.phone has stopped. I hit ok and it comes back immediately, no matter how many times I hit it. I can't get into the menus or setup screens, the popup comes back instantly.
Since PA and CM both did this same thing, I am guessing my problem is perhaps not the rom. Any ideas please on what I might try next? The phone is basically bricked at this point.

Yea, you can't flash cm or pa on your device. They can only be flashed on devices with the mdb or mdl bootloader. If you're using safestrap, and it's the only recovery you can use, you're probably on 4.4.4, nb1 or nc1 or nj4, bootloader. You'll need tw based roms. See the ones that work with safestrap.

Thank you,
I flashed to NJ4 after rooting. Could you recommend any custom rom that is tw based please, or am I basically limited to stock?
I tried flashing a new TW rom but now I'm stuck in a recovery mode bootloop (safestrap seems to be gone).
edit: tw = touchwiz? (Sorry, I'm new at this).
Really appreciate the explanation, thanks again.

Your stuck to 4.4.4 unless you do the method mentioned on the forums and GoldenEye comments.
But a caution its not for the new, is risky and you lose the safestrap recovery boot because safestrap is not lollipop compatible right now.
Got it. Thank you.
I finally found a 'stock' firmware that I managed to load via Odin. Looks like AT&T just pushed the lollopop update to my phone as well so I guess stock lollipop will work for me until I upgrade my phone.
Out of interest, I'm looking at the oneplus one phone. Am I correct in thinking I should have way less problems trying to root & install custom roms on that, since it comes loaded with CM and the carrier isn't going to be constantly fixing exploits that allow root?
Really appreciate the help guys, thanks again.

I don't own it so I couldn't tell you but I would look up the forum for it before hand and see what they say about it.
If it's not an ATT and Verizon phone most likely it's not boot loader locked.

Oneplus you will be able to root and recovery, I believe even unlock the bootloader. You just have to pay full price of the phone of course, but it's separate from carrier so no root patching OTAs.
Awesome. Thank you so much guys. I think I'm going to try out the oneplus one. Sounds like it'll be a lot more straightforward than with AT&T's devices.
Hi all, my family owns a Nexus 7 (2012) 16GB WiFi (no 3G) with Android 5.1.1
My mother mostly use it and I'm always disinterested about it, but recently they asked me for help because it became slower. I googled a little and found about the slowness/lags of Lollipop. I tried a wipe cache partition but it still has a long time boot and i'll try a factory reset.
I'm wondering which other ways to try, if downgrade to Stock KitKat or Root and:
1) Lollipop custom rom (which?)
2) KitKat custom rom (which?)
thanks in advance
This ROM was given a new life for my Nexus 7(2012)!

I hope it gives yours as well.

i keep getting stuck at the google sign, this is on a rooted 4.1 stock rom. I tried numerous times. Do I need to be on a different version instead on 4.1?
You need to update your bootloader to 4.23.
I suggest to do so by using fastboot, but keep in mind that there are some non functional / brick risky bootloader images around.
Pure Nexus ftw
Hi!
I'd like to suggest you to give a try for the Pure Nexus ROM (based on 6.0.1. MM, already pre-rooted), which is truly brings that new life to your N7 device, what it deserves... :good:

I agree with you
Hi everybody. I have a nexus 7 wifi 2012 and use it in my car. The only apps i use is:
Google play Music - listening music (obviously...)
CarHome Ultra - Car Dash application
Torque - Always running, mainly for fuel consumption
Tablet Talk - For receiving sms on my tablet while driving
Nothing else except maybe youtube very rarely
Which Roms sould i install? Right now i have XenonHD but it's laggy. Sometime my tablet freeze for many seconds. The only important thing is that i have always these 4 apps running at the same time.
Thank you!
Since nobody can tell me which one i should try i will try both and make my own opinion.
No luck with both roms. The first one give many errors (app has stopped) and the second one pure nexus rom stay stuck on the marshmallow animation. So I reinstalled xenonhd for now.
@mvez73 you should also read the OP when installing a ROM, especially when comming from a non MM-ROM. MM has changed much in permission handling and you need to manually enable some settings to be able to use it without issues.
I speak french and I don't understand everything when it's not as usual. Can you explain me what I need to do? I tried to fix permissions with twrp but no changes. Still have errors with apps stopped. Thank you
You need to go to Settings -> Apps -> Show System Processes
and grant all permission they are requesting to google play store and google play services
Ok. Doing a backup right now (forgot it last time.... -_-) and go for another try with your informations. Thank you!
Looks ok now. Thank you @AndDiSa
Did i missed that fix in the thread? I did a search but i didn't find a solution except fix permission with twrp. Anyway it works now so thank you again!
Fix permissions in recovery only helps when you are restoring e.g. a Titanium Backup and the application ids changed meanwhile.
I couldn't be the only one with this issue. I've tried stock Nougat, rooted and unrooted. I've also tried Substratum latest version, Nougat. No matter what I get a FC by Google Play Services every few minutes. Tried clearing cache and data for Play Services, it seemed to help for some time then the problem came right back. This happened on my 5X which I'm selling now, as well as my 6P. Anybody else having this issue?
Until it is cleared up I'm sticking with 6.0.1.
If you don't have the latest version of Play Services you can try updating to the newest version. Check your installed version against the newest one on APK Mirror.

Getting FC on 6.0.1 now too. Got the appropriate Play Services from APK Mirror but no improvement. Enabled all permissions for it. Only thing I can think of now is installing apps one at a time until I start getting FC

Hello all! I have the same problem on my Nexus 6P brand new...
Play Services stops all time, i cannot download or update a thing from play store, i cannot communicate with google servers (only some times)
Downloads some times gives me error 960...
Keyboard also crashes a lot
I've tried: Flashing different stock roms, flashed pure nexus custom rom... also tried bunch of different gapps packs... made an nandroid backup from another nexus 6p working and put it on mine... etc.. nothing happens... there is also a tricky thing on wifi connections... i have to wait much too long for it recognizes the internet connetion (it connets fine at the network).. tried in 4 different houses, and with 3 different sims...
Anyone has a clue here? im done reading and trying.
Thanks in advance!

Check your rom, under Settings > About Phone, verify your build number for example NBD91K or NBD90X for example. Most custom Rom's link the vendor img in the post somewhere. If your familiar with flashing then you shouldn't have a problem. If not use, skipsoft toolkit to help you root/flash or anything else android.
