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I spent hours and days researching why the crashing happens and ive seen things from "outdated/corrupted SU binary" to "incorrect permissions for 6.0.1 gapps" and i still dont know the cause.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.

-flashed super f
-everything booted and went well BUT THEN...
-market started acting up, it never worked smoothly on anything above 1.6 for me but i cant put my head on this one
-one app is killing me, my maps and nav will not let me download it, along with robodefense for some reason
-By "not let me i mean" its been stuck "downloading" for about two hours.
-tried cancelling the download but EVERY time it force closes the market [com.android.market.vending]
-i had to maunally start a download for the market to "autostart" the downloads on all my prev apps, thought it was wierd cause it was stuck for the longest time, downloads went okay
-so then i flashed gapps from the cm6 website, sorta fixed the problem, it gave me maps, no nav, but my market is still "downloading" the maps even though those gapps gave me the maps app already. cant stop the download because its still force closing
- it was a clean install no other issues, i did a full wipe, wiped via fastboot method aswell,
im not a rookie, but im no dev either so if you can help a bean out.
i was wondering if the "new" market on all the gapps all the devs are flashing are corrupt or wut?
or am i alone?
So, I recently installed MIUI version 4.713 and everything is working fine. I originally installed the wrong version of gapps and I kept getting force closes so I reinstalled the rom and instead of installing gapps this time around I just use the google installer app. If you don't know what that is. It's just an app that allows you to install things like the play store. Anyways though right now I'm not able to install really anything from the play store onto my phone. Whenever I try to I either get the error "Unknown Error" or "Unknown error -24". I think it may be because I don't have gapps installed on my phone. So my question is ultimately does anyone have the correct version of gapps for my phone or the solution to these errors I'm running into? My phone is running on Android 4.42 and MIUI version 4.7.13. I also found this thread with my error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038, but I'm not even able to install an app third party without downloading it from the play store either. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Hi all,
Been having some fairly major issues with this tablet recently. Sorry for the back story, but I'm unsure whether it's related or not...
I primarily use the tablet to watch videos on while I'm commuting from an external USB stick. Always used to be 100% fine, running AOKP ROM for around a year. In the last month or so, I would watch a video and it would work for a couple of minutes, then the video would freeze and the audio soon after. To fix it I'd have to close MX Player, and unplug/plug back in the USB stick. Then it would happen again.
I therefore copied files onto the internal storage, and didn't have problems with this (a 4GB video file would copy with no issues). Then watch from internal storage with no issues.
I decided to try a different ROM and see if it helped the USB OTG issues. This is where the real problems started. I changed to a different Android 4.4 ROM (Purity I think?), and had Google Play Store crashing soon after starting, if I tried to download an app. After the initial crash, I would continually get 'Google Play Store has stopped working' messages. Rebooting etc made no difference. I would also get the same issue if I tried downloading an APK through the built in browser (it crashes).
I have since tried about 5 different ROMs (Android 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 based) flashed through TWRP 2.8.4.0, with different Gapps, each time performing full or partial wipes/factor resets.
I have also tried restoring to stock settings through NTK, flashing factory images of 4.2, 4.4 and 5.0 builds through the 'restore stock and unroot' option (whatever it is called). I have also re-locked and unlocked the bootloader again.
Basically, I don't know what else I can do. Every time I get into a new ROM, I complete the initial setup, I can't go into Google Play store without the app force closing. I can't think of what would be causing this if it's the same between a lot of different ROMs, with the same issue.
Does anyone have any ideas..?
Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you're using correct gapps versions? They're specific gapps packages for 4.2, 4.4 AND 5.0.
If you're sure of the above, then yes, I suggest you capture `adb logcat` output when Play Store is crashing. Then share the log with us.
Basically some of the components of play store are located in the system partition and most of custom roms don't come with gapps packages you need therefore to flash them after installing a new rom. PA provides very nice and up to date solution. PA gapps on Google.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had flashed correct Gapps packages for each ROM when required, but was still having the issue.
Somehow, after many hours spread over the last week, last night I seem to have fixed it.
I had suspected that it was an issue with a corrupt partition, (or permissions, or something!) on the internal storage, as it was only when I tried to download something that the browser crashed, and Play Store would generally only start crashing after a first time browsing with it. Also sometimes from within Recovery I wouldn't be able to wipe data properly (it would complete almost instantly, sometimes not removing a previous ROM...). Sometimes it did seem to work properly though.
I can't pin down exactly what I did that fixed it though. I tried 2 things at once: I manually wiped each of /system, /cache, etc through fastboot in the bootloader, and I also (from adb in recovery) manually did mkdir /data and mkdir /data/media
I'm not sure which of these worked, but I flashed a ROM and Gapps (AOKP again), and I haven't had any crashing so far...
I'm afraid to flash any other ROMs as it seems to be working now, so I think I'll leave it!
Probably should have looked at the adb logcat output, but didn't think of that while I was still having the issue.
Thanks
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 !
"Google Play services has stopped" on 3 different 7.1.1. ROMs (RR, AICP, Lin.)
Hey guys,
coming from a stock 5.0.2 I wanted to install Lineage Nougat. So first I installed TWRP 3.x and then Lineage and gApps.
After the installation I rebooted into the system and the setup wizard started (albeit this also has been crashing sometimes on all 3 roms), letting me go as far as the Google account login, "Checking info..." which crashed with the message "Google Play services has stopped". I can go through the wizard without doing anything, but it's the same in the system.
Can't open Play Store, can't add Google Account.
I've tried 3 roms, Resurrection Remix, Lineage, and AICP. All Android 7.1.1.
I've tried different builds, different builds for gApps, different versions (nano, micro, stock).
Tried the usual clear cache etc. stuff for Google Play that you find online. Tried installing a new Play Services apk from apkmirror.
Nothing works, it's the same thing every time. Recovery, Wipe, Install Rom+gApps, Reboot, Play Services crash.
It doesn't seem to have to do with the ROMs.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
So I found something while looking for answers that seems to be my problem, but I don't really understand what this person did.

Can someone help me with this, what exactly did he do? When I go adb reboot-bootloader the phone restarts normally, I'm not going into a fastboot mode. And mkdir says the directory already exists.
Stupid question, are you using TWRP 3.1.0-1 by BlastGator? I remember reading something about the recovery being associated with this issue, I just don't remember where.

YES!
But I think I tried it with 2.8.xx as well, but I'll try again just in case.
Edit: So I tried it, to no avail.
Boot to Rec, Flash TWRP 2.8, Reboot, Wipe, Flash RR and Gapps, Reboot, Google Play Stopped.
Am I missing a step or anything I should try different?
I installed TWRP and root with SRK Tool 2.1, maybe there's something wrong there?
I have exactly same problem with you. I've tried many flashing methods and it went fail and fail again. Please tell me if your problem have been solved. Anyway I'm at CloudyG2 3.3 right now and using TWRP blastgator 3.1.0-1.
