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?

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 The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems.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!)

D802, flashed CM 13, black screen after <1s LG logo

I have been using CM12.1 on an LG G2 D802 and decided to upgrade the device to CM 13 today. As the device was running the stock 4.4 ROM before I initially switched to CM 12.1, I figured it would already have the Kitkat bootloader installed and proceeded to download the latest CM 13 nightly from the CM page as well the stock OpenGapps package. I then booted into TWRP (v2.6.3.3), wiped system, dalvik, data and cache and then flashed the ROM and the Gapps package which worked just fine.
However, when I selected "reboot system", the screen went black. I turned the phone off by pressing the power button. turned it on again and found that the LG logo flashes up for less than 1 second, then the screen goes black again. Gladly, I am still able to boot into TWRP. I then searched the forums, decided to try the latest Lollipop bootstack from this thread and reflashed the ROM and the Gapps package, but the problem still persits.
I am now thinking if my seriously outdated TWRP version is causing the problem, but I hesitate to update that (as it is basically the only working thing on the phone right now) without making sure that it really could be the problem.
Do you have any tips for me what could be the problem and how I can fix the phone?
Thank you very much!

Any help is appreciated

to boot into system you need hybrid bootstacks, and definitiverly need thermal twrp 2.8.7.3
you could either do both. download twrp and bootstaclks the hybrid ones.
first update twrp if you want. but i recomend as it has thermal to control heat during installations
once you in twrp. wipe all. then reboot into recovery from recovery.
flash hybrid bootstacks then again reboot into recovery from recovery, and when you in twrp flash rom it should boot.
just remeber to reboot into recovery each time you flash twrp ot hybrids to take effect.

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?

Phone stuck on Android is starting. Running lastest PureNexus Rom

My TWRP is 3.0.3 and whenever I flash the latest PureNexus Rom, only thing that appears on my screen is Android is starting after I complete the setup.

Did you flash a GApps package? I believe Pure Nexus recommends Dynamic GApps... Check the PN thread for the download link.
Wipe
Flash ROM
Flash GApps
Flash vendor (although you shouldn't need to do this again)
Reboot system

You should search the Pure nexus thread. This is a known issue with the latest build and there are workarounds for it.

[T560] All Android 7 ROMs not working, stuck on bootloop

Hi all,
so I can't install any Nougat ROMs as they all make my device go to bootloop on the first reboot after flashing, and just keeps the device on the boot animation for hours
This includes LOS14.1, DotOS and ViperOS all versions.
When I flash the CM13 ROM (what I'm using now), everything works normally on the first try.
I can't be the only one experiencing this bootloop, anyone else having these issues?
Did anyone else get bootlooped? Did you manage to circumvent the issue?
Any help is appreciated

Did you flash magisk or supersu before fist boot?

I tried with and without rooting, of course before flashing the ROMs (and GApps) I would wipe everything except sd card.
Really don't know what's the issue as the majority of people that reported bootlooping on these ROMs managed to get it fixed later, but none of that works for me.
I tried restoring back to 4.4 then trying again, I tried leaving the boot animation until the tablet runs out of battery then trying again, still no luck.
When I flash the CM13 rom from xda, everything works fine on the first try and first boot takes only a new minutes. I also managed to install the CM12.1 and the latest LightROM for the t560. Weird
Anyway I can only hope this gets resolved, willing to try anything as I don't use this tablet for anything relevant. It's the UK version, if that matters.

Make sure the ROM is for your Device. T560NU has a different chip set that the LTE model and you can't interchange roms.
