Issues with Custom Roms and Gapps - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've been trying to flash a new Rom after I got sick of AOSPEX on my gprimelte. I first went to Lineage OS 16, which went fine until I realized XDA Labs crashes. I then went to RR oreo but had some problems with my apps. I can't login to my google account as it gets stuck on "checking info" then goes to a black screen (The only way to remedy this for me is to install an old version of Mind the Gapps, probably because of Play Services). Sometimes Photos say that it hasn't been installed correctly, and other apps like GBoard say to update play services. After that's fixed, I see that ROM toolbox crashes and Magisk Manager also crashes when I try to check info on a downloadable module. I tried Lineage OS 15.1 GO and DotOS using TWRP 3.2.1 with the same results. Could it be the Gapps, the Roms (as they were all made by the same person), or the TWRP (also made by the same person).

Google Play Services is incompatible with your device issue

I have a YU Yureka running Android 5.1.1 ( cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO338-tomato.zip build) with TWRP Recovery (V 2.8.6.0) and OpenGApps (open_gapps-arm64-5.1-micro-20151102.zip build).
A couple of days back I got a notification saying that I have a OTA update to my ROM (cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-tomato.zip build). After i gave it the command, it automatically downloaded and installed my update (Just like CM Updater). However, when my phone rebooted, instead the Google Now Launcher, it reverted back to Trebuchet. When I tried to install the launcher, i found that my Play Store was missing. I went to the home area (not the app list) and tapped on the Google Search Bar(which remained intact) to check for solutions when i got a message saying Google Play Services is incompatible with your device. Contact Device manufacturer for help.
I tried to boot to recovery and flash the Open GApps zip file (the same as aforementioned) but it did not flash and it gave me Error Code : 30. In the end, I formatted my device and reverted to my previous CM build.
Please help. I need to know whether i can update my phone's software without having this issue.
Does anybody else have this problem????
Yes me too ! The Google Play Services demands update as half the apps are not working and ehen updated, the 'Play Services unfortunately stops' . The pop up irritating msg does not allow to proceed with any action till the update is uninstalled ! What damn irritating ! Can anybody help !

Several apps not compatible with device after installing CM13

Hi,
Just unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP and did a clean install of CM13 with latest Open Gapps nano.
Everything seems to be working fine, but I have several apps that are not compatible with my device now.
Just a few:
WhatsApp
TransferWise
Pebble
Amazon Shopping
..the list goes on.
I had these apps installed before.
Did a second clean install with OpenGapps mini and it's the same.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
[EDIT]
Never mind, it seems there's a fix buried inside the thread, but even with search I couldn't get there.

It is showing the same thing again and again. Also it tells me to locate my sensor on the back of the phone while it is in the front. Anyone, some help?

LOS15 is an alpha. Read the thread. You'll find that those are the current issues with the most recent publicly available build. Solution — wait for new build.

What ROM setup can I use Netflix with?

I have Lineage Marshmallow and Netflix did not show in Google Play. I installed Magisk through its manager, made sure Hide was on, then Netflix was still not in Play. I downloaded an apk from a trusted site (can't remember want it was at the moment, apkmirror or something like that). It started bootlooping during that install. Had to wipe and reinstall the ROM.
What ROM and magisk combo can I use to get Netflix running? I need Marshmallow or higher, and the camera to function. Suggestions?
Stock Nougat.
Face it, apps are getting better at seeing the **** you do, so just play by the rules. That or stop using ****ing Lineage OS, use AOSP 7.1.2 and stuff, its less customized and thus a bit harder for apps to see with safetynet or similar, but the thing is, at that point you might as well just run stock.
How do I get stock Nougat that has a working cam, and miracast? I was of the impression that Nougat roms disabled both.

Gapp crashes on 6.0 ROMS (Working Solution)

Okay so, ive tried every 6.0 ROM on the Shield forum for my portable and they all seem to have app crashing issues with the 6.0.1 pico Gapps (Setup, Play services, framework, play store all crashing, boot loops etc.)
I noticed i dont get these crashing errors whenever i boot the ROMs with no Gapps.
I spent hours and days researching why the crashing happens and ive seen things from "outdated/corrupted SU binary" to "incorrect permissions for 6.0.1 gapps" and i still dont know the cause.
SO i figured id try the apk route. i went to a certain APK site (not sure if we can link those) and grabbed every version for each gapp to see if i could get any of them installed. I found out when theres a corrupted app or incompatible app, android OS doesnt show the image for said APK/APP so i was able to weed out which apps would work.
Linked here are the apks i used to get the MM roms working with google/google apps again.
Install the PICO 6.0 GAPPS and then these APKs after getting into the OS to get going
The Pico-Apps are gonna make the initial boot time longer-- dont worry just let it load everything up (sometimes i had to button mash the shield button & home buttons to get past the boot animation-- sometimes it works and idky)
after installing all of the APKs, reboot the system, the OS is gonna initialize your apps again, might do it twice. after that youre good to go.
