I Installed the Android 4.3 CM10.3 Rom of pjsports. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2426942)
I performed a factory wipe before. The rom is working good, but I don't have apps like Play Store installed. How do I get Play store?

Okay, I'm a few steps further, but one thing is blocking a good solid installation: The /data is not formatted fully. It keeps giving errors with the /data/Lost+Found/ operation not permitted on #10152.
I tried a factory reset from within Android, but then I get the Android man falling on the floor logo.
I think, when all data in /data is formatted, a clean install is possible. Untill then, I get parts of my previous installation. (Users still exist)

Make sure you're on a recent recovery.
Do the factory reset, then wipe cache, dalvik cache, and system (if on cwm recovery, you'll need to go to mounts and format system). Technically, most installers format system for you, but I've found that doing it manually first results in fewer issues.
Install Rom. Reboot and LET IT SIT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES - even after it finished the boot.
Then go back into recovery and flash gapps. This is why you are missing Google Play. Google Apps are not included in the Rom. Make sure you have the latest gapps saved to your SD card (if using a 4.3 Rom, your gapps should end with 813)

I was on CM11 Snapshot. Then I went to install Lollypop from http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-aosp-build-t2929544. So I go on TWRP and wipe Dalvik Cache, Cache, Internal Storage and System. Then after, I noticed that everything was gone. So I sideload the ROM and my Gaaps. Something went wrong and old system apps like Dialer and Camera were installed and caused problems with the Newer apps and the system. I Wipe again....this time making sure to wipe data. I sideload but....the gaaps did not install. I went into Recover and noticed that TWRP was uninstalled and everytime I installed it VIA Fastboot, it worked but only for the Timebeing. Sideloading was not working and when I tried downloading the GAAPS straight from the browser, it was unsuccessful. Also, everything that I tried to download via browser did not work. Then I connected it to my Computer as an MTP. This was not working either.
Please Help and Thank You
So I completely wiped my Nexus 4 yesterday (everything but internal storage) and clean-installed the 12/29 CM13 nightly + nano Gapps. Everything was working great, installed a bunch of apps from Google Play, etc.
Then this morning I booted to recovery and installed SuperSU 2.46 via recovery zip flash (not via the app), which appeared to flash successfully/with no errors (plus I now see a supersu directory at the root level of my device).
I then rebooted and got stuck at the boot animation. Went back to recovery, wiped dalvik cache and regular cache, rebooted, and I'm still stuck at the boot animation. Reflashed the zip and then wipes dalvik/cache, still stuck.
Any ideas on (a) how to fix without rewiping-reflashing, and (b) how to get root on CM13? Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to mention my bootloader is unlocked and I have TWRP recovery.
EDIT2: Appears to be solved. I simply deleted the "/supersu" directory in the TWRP file manager and it now boots fine. Unsure if it screwed up hidden stuff, but I didn't have to wipe my system partition, which is a win in my book.
You don't need SuperSU on CM since it has root acces integrated, you just need to enable it under developer options. Format system, cache/dalvik and reflash cm13 and gapps.
Well ****. Looks like I needed to use the newer beta versions of "systemless" SuperSU, like 2.56 or 2.61 for Android 6/CM13.
I wasn't aware that installing 2.46 would cause me to get stuck at bootup, though! That sucks. Still looking for a solution.
Ah I wasn't aware of that. Thanks!
I deleted the /supersu directory, reflashed the 12/29 nightly, wiped caches, and the phone got past the boot animation and booted normally. I'll reboot a few times and see if things are OK.
Saved me from having to format system yet again and redo everything.
Install 2.56b Beta thats working coz it uses systemless ROOT
Do not install 2.56b , because you won't be able to install 2.60+ supersu after that without reflashing system. Install 2.65 beta. It's stable and tested on cm13. I use it myself.
Thank you so much for this - I flashed 2.46 on cm13 on my motog3. I thought I'd lose all my data since I have device encryption and an external sd formatted as internal storage (which is unsupported in twrp for the moto3g, so it isn't accessible for backing up).
I just reflashed the rom and cleared cache and it's back to normal, encryption was fine, all my data is here, and the external sd card functions as well. Saved my ass.
I tried this and it didn't work. I installed supersu while on CM13 and it got stuck at the boot animation of CM. I deleted the /supersu directory reflashed the newest nighlty rom and wiped caches but still stuck at boot animation. I'm on TWRP btw
Doesn't cm13 have an option to enable root under developer settings?
Just before harming my phone because of any potential ignorance, I wanna ask: If I'm on LG G2 (D802) with a rooted stock LP + TWRP v2.6.8.1 which I've installed via an app called "AutoRec". Does that imply I've KK bootloader and ready to flash the zip file of Cloudy? Also will I get app notification badges with this ROM right out of the box?
Thank you in advance!
You are safe to flash, go ahead.
Not sure about your 2nd question, sorry.
i'd suggest to update your twrp to at least 2.8.7.3 just to be on the safe side...
autorec installs an older twrp version by default
you can update twrp just by simple flashing the newer version
1. download the newer twrp for your device variant
2. enter twrp
3. flash newer twrp
4. reboot to recovery
if everything went ok, twrp will show you the newer twrp version in the top left corner
now you can flash the rom
btw app notification badges are not present in any stock based rom such as cloudy...
you can have that option by using an app like Tesla unread in combination with Nova launcher
Thanks for your inputs Andeby & 60nine!
@60nine
In fact, I flashed before I've seen your post but it's good to update the TWRP anyways. I think I've seen v3.0.0 somewhere but I'm not sure...
I've seen badges for FB so I think badges are working OK with this ROM out of the box.
I'm still teased about the "Accounts & Sync" page since it doesn't allow me to selectively choose which accounts to sync or not sync as I've seen in different screenshots that came from different skins. In LG's skin, It's either sync all or sync none which is a bad implementation in my opinion and I really wished they've addressed this in the 2 official updates they pushed to me (KK & LP) but now I don't have any faith that they 'll push any "M" update, not to mention that sync setting I'm annoyed about so I'll have to live with what I've until I get a new phone (hopefully it'll be the 5.5 inch version of the coming Nexus, if it'll have that e-sim technology :fingers-crossed
P.S. I'm not sure why LG implemented the selective sync feature in some of their older mobiles but not the recent ones!!! (as I've seen in the screenshot in this thread http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/55728/how-can-i-select-the-apps-to-sync-when-auto-sync-is-turned-on)
about selective sync
some apps allow you to turn the sync off (i.e. soundcloud that i use)
google on the other hand has the selective sync that you can turn on/off for each google feature (calendar, gmail, fitness, contacts...)
it's accesible when you enter "accounts & sync" in settings, then choose "google" and click on your google account email address...
i think that's the lollipop and per app thing, not LG specific...
about twrp version
2.8.7.3 is confirmed almost 100% stable and working with all latest roms...
latest version is 3.0.0.-4, but it's still in development (although it works just fine for me since i flashed it)
also - make sure you're using blastsgator's twrp

Thanks for all the info. I'm just not sure about the last line you said about using Blastsgator's twrp. Is this some person's name who modified twrp? I installed my twrp via autorec because the twrp manager app didn't work for me for some reason so I'm not sure how to update twrp other than installing a newer version of autorec (if there's such one) that will update the twrp for me i guess

blastagator is the developer - autorec uses his twrp (although the older version)
twrp download page - http://www.gregtwallace.com/lgg2-projects/twrp/
xda thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/twrp-twrp-2-8-0-0-kernel-f2fs-tools-t2898705
to update twrp
- simply flash newer version via twrp itself
- reboot to recovery (not to system)
- check if the newer version is displayed in the top left corner
- continue with your flashing or whatever you want
also, make sure you download the proper variant of twrp which suits your model (i.e. d802)

this one has themal feature it controls the cores so device dont get hot ans it has been updated it.
Thanks for the great information!
Just one more question: In the TWRP manager, Install, I have options to select these:
Backup: No
Wipe Data
Wipe Cache
Wipe Dalvik
For the last 3 wipes, are they talking about wiping the old recovery itself if I wanna wipe it before installing a newer TWRP version? Is it the same for backup (i.e. if I wanna backup the older TWRP version)? I"m a little worried that these options have something to do with the ROM itself (system) I'm currently on!
What I'm planning to do is to leave these options unchecked & add the zip file I downloaded from the internet, then hit "Flash Now" OR it's best to wipe the old recovery first before installing the newer one? (similar to clean flashing a newer ROM).

i'd stongly advise you to use flashing directly from the recovery itself - not from twrp manager...
to do that:
1. copy your rom zip to the sd card (internal memory) somewhere - i.e. in the root of it
2. reboot to recovery (twrp)
3. choose wipe > advanced wipe
4. select wipe for system, cache & dalvik (DO NOT select internal memory because it will wipe your internal SD card where you've put the new rom zip)
- you can also choose "data" if you want a full clean install (just make a backup of your data - to your PC or something)
5. go to recovery homepage and select "install"
6. choose the rom zip from your internal memory
7. press install/flash
8. aroma installer of the Cloudy3.3 rom should pop up - follow the instructions
9. choose your device variant (in your case it's d802 if i remember well)
10. choose those additional options to your liking (no need for removing LG cover app for xposed to work properly - it's been fixed in xposed itself since then)
11. when the rom installs - you can reboot your device
first boot will take some time - sometimes you'll see just a LG logo and flashing leds for as long as 5 minutes until the "android is upgrading" screen popup appears...
good luck...
edit:
wipes explanation
- wipe system - wipes the old system partition (i.e. old rom files you had)
- wipe dalvik - wipes the dalvik cache for apps
- wipe cache - wipes the system cache
- wipe internal memory - wipes the devices sd card where all your private files are (if you wipe that one - you will lose your images, music, etc. - and there is no way to get them back after you do this)
- wipe data - wipes the personal data (contacts, phone log, messages,...)
most common wipes are
- system, dalvik & cache (when you want to keep your personal data & files)
- system, dalvik, cache, data (when you want a completely clean install)
- system, dalvik, cache, data, internal memory (same as above, but do that ONLY if you're installing your new rom from usb/otg stick, not from internal memory)

but I've cloudy3.3 already installed and everything in it have been set up (settings, software...et) and I'm pretty satisfied with it as it is much more useful than original stock ROM. What I'm talking about is updating the recovery manager itself (TWRP) from the older version I have (2.8.6.1) to the newer version (2.8.7.3). I assume that it's possible to update to the newer one without any harm to the system currently installed. Right?

oh, sorry then...
then just do this
1. put new 2.8.7.3. twrp file somewhere on internal memory
2. reboot to recovery
3. press install
4. choose the new 2.8.7.3. zip
5. press install/flash
6. after the flash is over - choose "reboot to recovery/twrp" to see if everything went ok
7. if everything went ok - reboot to rom
no need for any wipes
Never mind! Thanks for all the valuable info
moving to android 10, but installed update 9.0.17 with the settings app and magisk messed up something since the device after a twrp install boots with everything working other than the crashing.
I've wiped the cache for the install, tried out installing via twrp (with backups this time) and wipeing the phone cache (the phone boots fine just have to tap close and only have a few presses before a restart) but cant confirm the storage clear menu due to the crashing.
I'm currently trying to move over a magisk uninstaller but is there a way to remove the storage or uninstall and continue with an android 10 installation?
yep magisk uninstall and reinstall worked
