Gapps not working on CM13 - keep force closing

[ceanth]

Hi all,

I am installing CM13 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini LTE serranoltexx and I have an issue with Gapps.

The ROM installs fine but once I install Gapps I get a forced closed messages. I checked a few guides and they suggested that this was due to the application permissions on CM13 but when I check these they appear to be fine.

Under the application menu I can see that the apps which Gapps installs are grayed out, almost like they are installed on the SD card but the SD card is missing! I have tried a number of times to delete cache but no luck.

I am using opengapps. I just tried using CM12 with open gapps but I get the same exact issue, therefore I think this is an issue with Gapps.

Can anybody offer any advise on how to get this working?


Thanks,
c

You can try different gapps (pico, micro ...) or recovery. I'm using cwm recovery

I tried different Gapps packages but not different recovery. I am using TWRP, do you have a link to the CWM which you are using?

I'm using latest version(6.0.5.1) of cwm on my serrano3g.

Hi,

After flashing CWM Gapps worked! I now have an issue where by if I try and update Cyanogenmod via the Cyanogenmod updates, the device reboots into recovery however it doesn't flash the update, recovery fails.

Can you advise which recovery I would need to install to be compatible with using OTA Cyanogenmod updates?

You can also flash updates manually. Don't need to outoflash ��
But if you want to OTA update you should use cyanogen recovery. https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=serranoltexx
You can see cyanogenmod recovery right of the cyanogenmod build.

Here's what worked for me.
First of all, I'm using TWRP 2.8. The root tutorial I followed gave me CWM so I switched my self. After that I tried installing gapps and I ran into the setup wizard and google app force closures. What seemed to have worked for me was to flash the ROM again which I downloaded through CM updates (it goes to the folder 'cmupdater' in your internal storage), boot, enable dev options, turn on advanced power menu, reboot to recovery through powr menu, install gapps micro and then reboot WITHOUT wiping dalvik/cache. I hope this helps some of you guys as it is what worked for me. It's sounds like alot but its the exact steps I followed.

Flash manually thought TWRP/CWM(TWRP recommended) . the ROM is saved in internal storage in a folder called 'cmupdater'.
