Lost Stock Apps - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so i just flashed my Nexus 7 2012 grouper with the latest AOSP rom and i must've be over-zealous with my drive wiping in TWRP because i accidentally lost all of the stock apps e.g. browser, email etc.
Installed Gapps pico just to get the play store and i was hoping to run mostly off stock apps but when i fired it up all stock apps were gone.
So..... how do i get these apps back?
Yes i am an amateur at this sort of thing
Cheers

[Q] Play store closes when starting

Hi all,
My play store will not open after updating my PA Rom from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and factory reset before updating, but when I flashed the new rom and google apps the play store just simply shows a white screen and closes after a second - no error message or anything.
I've tryed clearing the data for Google Play Services, the Play store app itself, and disabling it and rebooting multiple times and still nothing. I've also tried reflashing the google apps package and redownloading it, and still nothing. Lastly, I uninstalled the play store app via TB and reflashed the google apps package and that did not work, either.
Running Paranoid Android 3.15 Android version 4.2.2 Grouper. Do you guys think it's an issue with the rom, maybe? I couldn't find anything in the development thread leading me to think no, so I'm guessing it's just my device.
I searched around for a bit and found something about the vender.apk - but not much help on that. Thanks in and advance - any other help would be appreciated.
just reinstall everything including the rom and do a factory reset.
Maybe you could try flashing Google Apps for 4.2.2 :fingers-crossed:

[Q] Buggy PAC?

OK, I recently rooted and installed the PAC rom, via NRT. Everything was doing just fine, until I flashed GApps. Now I'm having trouble with the Play Store (no connection, retry), and some apps (Google + and AOSP keyboard, for what I remember) keep FC, even though I haven't opened them... I managed to install GO keyboard through the NRT, but this Play Store thing really bothers me... Any help?

What gapps did you use? For pac, pa gapps are recommended:

Flash that and it should fix the issues

[Q] Play services problem

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice here. I have been running the last version of PSX rom that was released late last year. Yesterday my phone kept trying to repeatedly download google play tv and movies app with no success and I kept getting pop ups about google newstand not working. Then everytime I opened gmail with would say unfortunatley gmail has stopped working.
So I tried reflashing gapps. No luck
I restored a backup I had from january. same problem
I wiped and flashed jelly bean carbon rom and gapps. Same problem
I also wiped and tried a fresh install of psx and gapps. Lost root and gmail wont work but play store does work.
Not sure what I can do here. Any suggestions?
Well in case anyone else runs into this problem. I made it usable for me by freezing Google new stand with titanium backup and deleting gmail and replacing with the stock email app.

[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

I'll try this! But when? Before installing CM and Gapps, after?
Tried various ways, no game

Flashing and Restoring data Q

Hi,
I have been researching on these forums and want to know about permissions/uid issues when restoring apps via twrp. After flashing a custom rom and its accompanying gapps, (PA or CM11), my Nexys 7 is Grouper running 4.4.4. Are there any specific settings I need to use when restoring my apps after flashing? I.E. overwriting/not overwriting the fkashed gapps with my previously saved google apps. Tia,

When I successfully flashed ParanoidAndriod 4.6-BETA6 and gapps-kk-20140105, I then proceeded to restore my apps and data. I sync'd with my google acount at the play store and it downloaded and installed all my purchased apps. I noticing the new Hangouts is is ah different. I like the previous interface. So while I would have like to just restored all my apps, letting google do it wasn't too bad. I would like to get all my config data restored. I'm not positive which files restore configuratoin for usb tethering and wirelesss access point.. Which files/apk files would restore my configuration?
