:crying:hi,
I have recently installed Resurrection Remix ver 5.8.5-20171122 athene final to my G4 ,
(it's android 7.1.2)
whatever I try I cannot get gapps sorted out ... via TWRP I have individually tried open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20190327.zip,
open_gapps-arm-7.1-nano-20190327.zip and open_gapps-arm-7.1-micro-20190327.zip
(all downloaded direct from gapps site)
according to TWRP each one installed ok, but when I reboot my phone I don't have them showing in my app drawer -
there are just the 23 are so apps that the rom installed.
never before have I come across this, so any help would be appreciated
SOLVED!
in TWRP I wiped everything, including system, Dalvik cache & cache
then simply flashed the rom and gapps again ... BUT
at the same time, without a reboot
initially I had installed the rom and rebooted, not knowing gaps was not included,
so like the silly old 74 year old I am I forgot the basics!

I installed CyanogenMod 7.2 on my Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 (this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2537457).
When I first installed it, I also installed Gapps. However, as I do not want to use Gapps anymore (like Gmail, GMaps, Googlesearch etc.), I want to get rid of them - but I am unable to do so.
I did a complete wipe in the Clockwork Recovery, meaning: wiped cache, wiped, wiped batt stats, formated sytem, data and cache and did factory reset. After that, I reinstalled CyanogenMod 7.2 again, this time without installing Gapps.... BUT: Gapps are nevertheless included.
What did I do wrong? How can I can a Cynanogenmod now on my Galaxy Y GT-S5360 without Gapps?
(Forgive me if I used wrong terminology etc., as I a new to this. I did, however, spent a lot of time searching this forum and others to find a solution before I came bothering you with my question. Thanks in advance!)
if you look at the features of that rom it says gapps are included so I dont know why you flashed it seperatly
anyway
if you want to remove any system apps install link2sd from the playstore then you can use it to uninstall any system app you want
Thanks for your answer. I just realized that Gapps are already included. As I am new, I used another, more detailled, step-by-step guide, which used the Percy Rom (with the above link), in that guide, I was told to separately install Gapps... :silly: Thanks for the other hint, too. :good:
Try to uninstall it after you flash CM 7.2
Hey guys, so i'm trying to install the following items:
-SlimLp F2FS (Android L)
-M-Kernel_a73.zip
and
-Slim_full_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150213-482
I use NRT to get into TWRP and from there I follow the following steps (my system is already in F2FS mode which i reformatted from the existing Ex?? one)
Clean Flash:
Wipe syste, data, cache, dalvik cache
Flash the rom
Flash Slim gapps or L Gapps (IDK WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GAAPS AND L GAAPS IS and they take me ultimately to the same link so wtf)
Reboot
The main issue is, after the tablet reboots and opens up I don't see the play store, i don't see ANY google items and I can't install anything. It seems to me that the GAAPS zip isn't being installed properly. I've already installed the main ROM, then GAAPS, then the M kernel and nothing seems to work. I don't see any playstore icons even in the app drawer. Can someone please explain to me what i'm doing wrong? Thanks!
Can someone please help?
bump for a response
EDIT: the problem is solved, see my last post
Hey guys,
I'm not new to installing roms, as I did with my SGS 2 before. But I haven't done it for a long time and it's the first time I do it on my SGS 5... with no success at all.
The problem is that, out of all the roms I've tried, none of them boot up entirely without crashes. I've followed the instructions to the letter and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here's what I had before starting to fiddle:
SGS 5 G900F, no specific carrier, bought in Europe
stock android/touchwiz 5.0, never rooted or anything
Here are the roms I have tried:
cynaogen 5.1.1 12.1 20150508 for klte + these gapps http://teambliss.x10host.com/BlissStalk/Gapps/ --> stays blocked on the samsung logo forever
BlissPop 5.1.1 v3.3 20150515 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> google newstand and another google app are crashing in a loop during the setup, I can't tap any button
PAC 5.1.1 20150503 for klte + pa_gapps-stock-5.1-20150418-signed or pa_gapps-modular-full-5.1-20150418-signed --> the install wizard application itself is crashing in a loop
THe kernels I've tried:
KT-SGS5-LP5.1-AOSP-G900-05.02.2015
boeffla-kernel-2.0-beta8-CM12.1-g900f.recovery
My recovery:
twrp-2.8.6.0-klte (flashed with Odin, it works fine, and I could boot the stock rom without problems with it)
Any idea about the cause of the problem?
Thanks
I guess if you are not new to stuff like this, you have 100% wiped everything before flashing in TWRP recovery, and factory reset / wiped caches after flashing the ROM and Gapps?

Yes, before and between installing different roms, I wiped everything: system, cache, dalvik, internal storage
I've also flashed twrp previous version 2.8.5.0, and philz touch recovery. They all work fine, but still can't boot any rom
Strangely, I now works using this version of CM 12.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ent/rom-cyanogenmod-12-1-android-5-1-t3066252
I have no idea why I had all these crashes and boot problems with the other 3 roms.
Cheers
Odd.
Hey guys,
Recently I flashed
ClockWorkMod recovery - v 6.0.1.9
Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightly -cm-12.1-20150706-NIGHTLY-mako.zip
It all worked out (with great difficulty) and the phone works fine.
However, I have no google apps. Coming from stock factory setting to a rom with no google apps is quite difficult.
So, i tried flashing the gapps along with the rom but i keep getting a status 7 error message and the installation gets aborted, the result being when i reboot my phone i get a plethora or error messages of all the google apps which stop working (i.e none of the gapps work).
I have tried flashing the following (file names) gapp zip files with no luck.
gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-21
gapps-5.1-2015-07-03-13-41
gapps-L-4-21-15
gapps-lp-20150211-signed
BaNkS-dynamic-gapps-L-6-21-15
pa_gapps-modular-mini-5.1-20150315-signed
Even the gapps link on the cyanogenmod wiki page does not work. ( i think i included that filename in the above list)
On reading other forums, members say that the recovery must be updated.
Quite honestly i am quite apprehensive to do anything to the recovery as i got stuck into a bootloop once and it took me a day to get out of it.
P.S i am a complete amatuer in this process, this is the first custom rom i flashed after staying on stock factory images for 2 years.
I really do need help, as no other rom works well except the cm 12.1 and itwould be absoutely brilliant if i have the google apps too!
Thanks in advance.
solution found
Hey there, I have the s4 (GT-i9505)
I had the same problem until today and I have found the solution to it,
I updated my cm12.1 nightly to 20150706,
Downloaded slim gapps 5.1.x mini latest (20150706), [I searched for it on Google]
Tried flashing the cm and then the gapps but it didn't work, and gave me all the errors of apps that have stopped which was very annoying.
So then I did a little research and figured out that I was using twrp v2.6.0.0 which was quite old , so I never gapps after the root. So then I updated it to the latest version by connecting my phone to the PC in download mode and downloaded the twrp v.2.8.0 (latest) and recovery booted my phone.
Factory reseted my phone, installed both the cm12.1 and gapps by selecting the zip files and then flashing them. Wiped the dalvik cache. Finally rebooted my phone.
And to my surprise it actually worked. Thank god that now I have the play store and all the other apps without any annoying popups.
I'm on my phone so I can't seem to be able to upload any links .
I'm sorry you gotta have to search on Google for the download links.
Have fun buddy. Hope it works on your nexus 4. Enjoy !!
Got it working!!
So, followed some forums ( including mehsan23) and updated my custom recovery. The most surprising thing is that you can do this by downloading zip files of the latest cmw recovery and flash them on to your existing recovery and the recovery automatically updates.
Then flashed the gapps on cm12.1 wiki page and it worked! So relieved! However the Google app crashes but its alright I can do without it.
Thanks guys!!
P.s thanks again mehsan23
Hi,
Just installed ZTE_A2017V1.0.0B11 via here following instructions. I have the Chinese phone version by default.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68873487&postcount=4
Loads fine, I install SuperSU, couple of other minor packages through TWRP, everything works fine. Each time I'm clearing cache after install.
Then I install Gapps from http://opengapps.org/ (ARM64, 6.0), I have tried Nano and Micro, again clear cache and instead I get stuck at Axon boot logo.
Clearing cache again doesn't help, the only option I have is to wipe system and re-install OS but no gapps I have tried has worked.
Any idea why this might be the case? Thanks.
The phone that I got originally did have google play incidentally, probably installed by the aliexpress seller, but I'm not sure how. I had to wipe it earlier though.
Gapps are designed for custom roms. They probably don't work in the Stock ROM you are trying to use.
Have you unlocked your bootloader first? Have you installed the no-verity patch? Otherwise you won't be able to boot a modified system partition.
Yes, unlocked bootlader.
Oh wow, I had no idea, I thought gapps was a generic installer.
That explains it, I also didn't realize you could install Google Play through ZTE Market either.
All working now.
