google apps won't download for defy ics

Hi
I rooted my green lens defy and i'm currently running CM9-NIGHTLY-120416-Defy.zip.
I backed up all of my old settings and apps from froyo with titanium backup.Tried to reinstall gmail and maps but they do not work properly.
Also i can't download anything from the restored appbrain marketplace because it says i do not have android market installed, also tried via my browser, it says the download will start but never does.When i use recovery and load my old rom the apps are waiting and download fine.
Will i be ok to install gapps-ics-20120317 and get my google apps back and will this solve my problem?

That would be the wisest thing to do..

Was just confused,because the instructions given in all the threads I've read only mention flashing the gapps file if you have a defy±.My phone is an 18 month old defy.Please can someone else confirm it's OK to flash.

I made the same mistake, caused a right mess with force closes and the like. I started again, went through the instructions, but added in the flash gapps (same one you mention above), and now my phone works fine (apart from some minor bugs).
I'm currently using the same CM9 nightly, and have a green lens Defy.

Gapps have nothing to do with the phone model..For every Android version, the specific gapps is released.. So the gapps for ICS, can be flashed to phone running ICS, doesn't matter if its a defy or defy+

I had the same issues with Play store to download app a couple times. In app manager, select Google play store and clean cache and data. That`s work for me.
Otherwise try wipe data/cache then flash the last nightly from Epsylon for defy froyo, then CM7 Kernel then the last gapps-ics-20120422 then battery ics fix then reboot and restore your app That should work fine
Hope been helpfull

Thanks everyone, all working fine after installing the latest gaps. This was my first root and i'm very grateful for the help i received but the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100# could have been a bit clearer.
Anyway, as usual the problems encountered have helped me learn a lot more than i knew before.

[Q] Installing any app makes the phone to reboot

Hey guys.
Phone is CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4) and Paranoid Android (Android 4.4)
What happened:
Phone crashed (screen became full of colors and phone restarted). After reboot everything on the phone was gone - GApps, all my apps, save a few of like a 100. Basically a fresh CM install without GApps.
What I did was flash GApps (correct package). Everything worked fine until I've tried to install an app. Phone immediately rebooted.
I've tried wiping everything, doing factory resets, installing older CM builds, now I've even installed Paranoid Android ROM. Still the same problem persist:
If I try to install any app from Play Store or just from an apk with I file manager - phone immediately reboots. The only way I can now use it is by disabling Play Store so it doesn't start to update something
Has anyone ever encountered this?
Is this the right forum to ask?

Maybe you just need to flash gapps right after the rom. I flashed cm without gapps once and when i booted back into recovery to flash gapps my phone crashed.
Doing them one after the other is the way to go.

Thanks for suggestion, I've tried that several times, didn't help...

I had the opposite after a crash on a nexus 4 over a year ago.. phone would reboot unistalling any app wether by play store or settings/apps.
after trying everything for most of a day, the only thing that fixed it was formatting the data partition.. not wiping, there's a format data option in twrp

Tried various ways, no game

[Q] Problem with CM12 Play Store Error 505

Hi Community,
maybe somebody can help me with my problem
What happend:
I had a LG G2 (D802) with CM11M12 installed on it. Also Tasker and Taskwatch were installed. I decided to upgrade to the first CM12 official nightly. I installed it over TWRP without a full wipe (only Cache and Dalvik). Something with the Play Store didn't work. I wanted to install an app (I don't know anymore which it was) but it didn't install cause of error 505. I thought it was because I flashed it over CM11.
So this time I made a full wipe, pushed CM12 and GApps (KK) through ADB into my storage and installed it clean. It didn't start. There was an error at the homescreen. Setup Wizard or something like that crashed every second.
I flashed TWRP 2.8.3.0 and tried it again. Same result.
I made a full wipe again. Pushed CM11M12, CM12 and GApps through ADB and installed CM11M12. The phone booted. I installed CM12 and GApps. Now it worked. Everything is just fine, BUT I can't install Tasker and Taskwatch. If I install Tasker and try to install Taskwatch, then I get the 505 error. When I uninstall Tasker I can install Taskwatch, but can't install Tasker anymore. I uninstalled Tasker via ADB. Same result.
Edit 01/10/2015: I did a full wipe (cache, data, dalvik, internal storage) and format data. I installed todays CM12 and LP GApps. This time it booted and worked without problems with setup wizard. Problem with error 505 remains.
Question:
What can I do to install both apps and not only one of them?
Thank you in advance.

Well I'm on the latest CM12 nightly +LP gapps and I get error 504 when installing certain programs like facebook, viber but not all of them give me this error. On some I get it on the first try and then it works. I deleted playstore cache and all the crap I could find over web but nothing helped. Wiped/factory reset still nothing.

Seems like another problem. 505 is related to a permission error. 504 is bad gateway, but I don' know the answer for your problem. Maybe you could try to install another GApps Version. Can you install those apps through Amazon App Store or via an apk file? Because I can't do that, the permession is still present. And I can install both application, but not together.
In fact I don't even know whose fault it is (error 505), could be one of these apps or Cyanogenmod or Google. As far as the stock 5.0 or a Cyanogenmod Snapshot will come out, I will try to install both apps again or has anyone a better solution?

Still the same problem
Thought it would maybe work with the newest Nightly (20150207), but I was wrong. Wiped everything, installed with gapps. Can install Tasker but not Pebble TaskWatch. Or Taskwatch without Tasker (which makes no sense).

Can you solve it? I have the same problem

PureNexus 6.0.1-20160315: "Unfortunatley, Google play services has stopped."

PureNexus 6.0.1-20160315: "Unfortunatley, Google play services has stopped."
Hi there.
Yesterday i got my Nexus 6P rooted and flashed the latest TWRP version and the latest version of the PureNexus ROM on it. Unfortunately, I receive the following pop-up in irregular spans: "Unfortunatley, Google play services has stopped." The message pops up randomly when I use the smartphone, but logically especially then when I use apps like YouTube and such. It also goes away automatically, but it's extremly annoying.
Apart from that, the system runs great. I already tried the following, without success:
-installing another version of GApps
-deleting dalvik/cache and data
-deleting data and cache of the "Google Play Services", "Google Play Store" and "Google Services Framework" under Settings->Apps" with a followed reboot
-reset app preferences under Settings->Apps"
-manually install another version of the "Google Play Services"
-reinstall the zip file of the GApps.
-installation of another GApps file with the stock version of it from the official page instead of the one that's listed on xda.
-other small stuff...​
...but the problem still persists. I hope you guys can help me solving this issue, I'd really like to stay on the PureNexus ROM
Thanks in advance, aightbit

Exactly what Gapps have you flashed? Do you have any apps that suppress services, like Greenify or Servicely?

First, thanks for the reply.
I got GApps from the site http://opengapps.org/ with the following setup: ARM64, Android 6.0, stock.
I don't use any suppress services, the problem was there from the beginning after the first boot with the PureNexus and GApps flashed on the device.

Should probably use the ones from the Pure Nexus Post

Did you wipe properly (system, data, cache, dalvik cache) before flashing?

That isn't the cause, I use Open Gapps too.

I'm pretty sure I did, I might have missed one of these points. I will retry it later this week, unfortunately I can't do it right now, I have limited access to my smartphone due to work.

I'm aware of that. Tried it with this type of Gapps first, then switched to the Gapps I provided to after I experienced the problem...

I just wiped the parameters you specified and flashed the dynamic Gapps and the same version of the PureNexus ROM again, it now works without a flaw.
Thanks for the help guys and a nice easter.

google play services stoped - after flashing CM13

Hi there, came from stock galaxy s4 jfltexx with lollipop. Wanted to flash CM13 nightly with gapps. After flashing CM13 and gapps there is a problem with the gapps. Right after reboot "unfortunately google play services has stopped" appears again and again.
Here is what I've done:
- flashed CF-Auto-Root via Odin
- flashed TWRP 3.0.0.0 via Odin
- downloaded CM13 nightly from 28.03.
- downloaded gapps nano from 28.03.
- did a full wipe
- wiped /system
- installed cm13 (from internal /sdcard)
- installed gapps (from internal /sdcard)
- cleared dalvik and cache
- rebooted
- "unfortunately google play services has stopped" appears
things I've tested:
- repeated the steps - no change
- tried earlier gapps - no change
did some tricky advises:
- took off sim card & didn't use wifi to bypass setup wizard (worked but no change)
- set all permissions for google services and play store within preferences (done, no change)
- rebooted and cleared dalvik and cache (no change)
- re-installed play services as apk (worked but no change)
- re-installed play store as apk (worked but no change)
- stopping google play services isn't possible (grayed)
Hmm, I'm not a technical noob (I think) but this one makes me crazy. I have a galaxy s4 jfltexx with 32GB internal memory.
Went back to lollipop backup.
Anyone there with the same problem and maybe a solution? Would give CM13 a try but without gapps usability is
missing a little bit.
Sorry for bad english.

Might wanna try a different gapps package (package, not earlier builds).
Open gapps is pretty much hit and miss. Some days the packages work and other days they don't. So either try a different package, like micro or pico, or try different gapps altogether. A-Gapps and banks gapps seem to be popular. Note that A-Gapps is a very slim package, similar to pico gapps.
Or you could try a different rom.

clearing all the google related apps' data from settings/apps and then rebooting is also worth a try.
playstore
google play services
google services framework

Don't use Opengapps. That also gives me a lot of problems. Use Banks Gapps instead.
http://download.dirtyunicorns.com/files/gapps/banks_gapps/

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll experiment with different gapps like a-gapps since I already tried different packages from open gapps.

Yessss, a-gapps did the trick for me and works perfectly . Many thanks for the suggestions.

I'm having exactly the same problems. i have tried 5 different Open GApps ROMS,
I've tried BaNks_Dynamic_GApps_6.x.x_3_11_16_34.zip.
I've tried A-GAPPS 6.0.1_18022016_4.1.zip
I have tried numerous sequences of Cache/Davlik wipes. Makes no difference if I perform those wipes in between CM13 and GApps, or just do the wipes at the end.
I have tried the Permissions fix on Google Play Services.
I've tried removing the microSD card and only using internal storage.
Basically, I've wasted 14 hours on this, and every combination I've tried results in Google Play Services errors. Some packages produce the errors less frequently, but all do it.
Enough is enough, I've just reverted back to CM12.1. It all worked flawlessly and only took a couple of minutes.
(All this hassle because I'd read that CM13 nightlies had fixed an issue with ChromeCast and Photos/Slides)

It works!
I can happily say that after trying again with new nightlies, I have CM13 working with OpenGApps
I've used the 2016-03-31 CM13 nightly for jfltexx
With the 2016-04-01 Opengapps mini nightly
Used TWRP 2.8.7.0
Installation couldn't have been simpler.
On my newly installed CM12.1 phone
Booted into TWRP
Backed up
From microSD card, loaded the CM13 zip
also queued up the OpenGapps zip
Flashed both at once
Wiped davlik/cache
rebooted
Phone still has all my apps and settings.
Google play works
I can cast photos and slides to my ChromeCast.
I suspect a change in the 2016 -03-30 CM13 nightly may be responsible for the fix
"Fix ownership for files/folders created by ExternalStorageProvider on ext4/f2fs"
So far, CM13 seems very stable. I hope this helps someone

Confirmed! Tried 2016-03-31 CM13 nightly with 2016-04-02 Opengapps nano. Now it works without the "Unfortunately the Google Service has stopped" error.
Tried also CM13 2016-04-01 - no Google Play service error but any text starts with "MOD...". This is for sure a problem with the nightly, so 2016-03-31 seems to work well with open gapps.
