OmniRom build2 - FC on boot NFC and phone service

Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.
Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?
am I doing something wrong during the flash process?
Wipe (default twrp)
install rom and gapps
clear cache/dalvik
reboot
Tried different gapps with no success..
I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?

Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

Got the Omni from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517309
and the twrp from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995
Others have succeeded using this so no clue what I'm doing wrong? I have flashed other roms, recovery works. Sometimes it seems like it is not wiping it all?

As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..

Having Problems in flashing roms

On flashing a Custom Rom, my phone gets stucked with continous FC ("Unfortunately Phone Crashed","Press OK") just after the phone boots.
I had faced the same problem earlier so someone on XDA suggested to use twrp recovery. Then i flashed the purity rom and it worked fine, but then as you may know now, as PA is out, so flashed it and again i'm getting continuous fc error....
currently i'm using purity rom, stock kernel and twrp recovery (2.6.3.3)

I would flash back to a stock 4.2.2 and start over. I find that this is the only way I can install certain roms.

Strange. Are you updating the bootloader and radio before flashing a 4.4 rom?

Are you doing a factory reset???? And flashing a proper gapps after ROM? You should always do this when going from one ROM to another. Sometimes a manual format of /system is necessary also.

no i am not updating my bootloader and radio before flashing (rather didn't know if i had to update them,fyi i bought my nexus 4 this september)....and yes i'm doing a factory reset (using the wipe option in twrp recovery which warns clearing of data, cache and dalvik memory)

[Q] [Q&A][ROM][5.0.X] ROM and GAPPS PROBLEM

Any Lollipop ROM that i try works fine but after flashing Gapps and rebooting, pretty much everything force closes and nothing can function. I've tried different Gapps packages and ROM's, wiping cache and dalvik but nothing works. Anyone knows what to do?

I can propose a combination that surely work great.
Rastapop Rom
With L minimal gapps

I tried this, but again all the gapps crash and force close. The only android lollipop rom that works for is the one that has gapps built in. Do you think it's related to CWM? My current version is 6.0.3.6

I have been using TWRP for the last 3 years and never had any problems.
You could give it a try.

I've used CWM for a year and a half now. No problems on Kitkat roms.
Ive tried literally all lollipop roms and gapps but none seem to work

Galaxy S4 i9500 - CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) - GApps crashing constantly

So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:

You need to perform a full wipe though.

Yes I did try Opengapps which also didn't work
Edit: The gapps is 6.x.x while my phone is 5.1.1, That won't break my phone will it?
~Chik

You need 5.1 gapps then.

Still :c I only flashed the base tho, Am I supposed to flash the add ons too?

I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Thanks for the reply, I'm downloading micro right now. Gonna fresh install CM 12.1 using TWRP then boot my phone fully before going back to recovery and flashing Gapps
Will edit my post within 30 mins with the result
Edit: No luck, And now for some reason my phone does not recognise my sim card

Could you try GearCM? Official CM for i9500 had lots of issues.

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I recommend against doing this. The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems. Stick with the latest TWRP.

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)

Flashed CM13, Cannot find Gapps package that works, help?

Hey everyone, I rooted my phone, unlocked the bootloader, flashed TWRP, and then flashed CyanogenMod 13 (Marshmallow). Everything worked perfectly, so I went back into my recovery to flash Gapps. I've tried Open Gapps and Slim Gapps, but both repeatedly crash setup wizard and clock among other things.
If anyone could help, I'd really appreciate it.

These are the Gapps that worked for me

Thank you for the help wikked26, but it didn't work. Those Gapps still crash for me. I think it's something incorrect in the way my phone is configured, not a case of downloading the wrong Gapps.
If anyone has any other ideas, please share them! I haven't cracked the case just yet

I know I was having issues with the Slimroms version where I booted into CM and set it up before installing Gapps. Fixed it by reinstalling/wiping the cache and installing Gapps before booting anything. Don't know if that helps, but I'm running fine now.

I'm hoping this is similar to the issue I'm having. Do you get it where you can factory reset in TWRP, then flash CM13, but when you go to flash Slim Gapps? Because I figured out that after factory resetting TWRP will only successfully flash 1 zip file. I also tried to wipe the cacher, dalvik, data, and system, then flash cm13 but Gapps still wouldn't flash. Maybe its a bug with TWRP 3.0.2? I'm going to try to use a different version of TWRP and I'll update with my results
EDIT: TWRP 2.8.5 did not do anything different

Wow, thanks for all the great responses. I made sure to try and install CM13 and Gapps at the same time, before boot, after wiping everything one last time. It worked flawlessly, and I can now use Google Play Services.
I hope this thread helps anyone else who is also a little stuck. I also found that TWRP didn't have any issues flashing multiple zips at the same time, not sure whats going on with you, Orange Officer. Perhaps try removing your battery after CM13 flashes, and then boot into TWRP again and flash Gapps without booting up CM13 at all?
