I just flashed a deodexed rom over the JB stock and I'm missing some google apps, even after flashing the gapps package. What should I do in order to restore them? TItanium Backup isn't helping since the restoring process is stuck in an infinite loop.

These apps are: the email client, car home, play movies, play music, play magazines and google voice.

Just restore the apps through titanium backup not its data.

If you are rooted, check the /data/app folder for the apks, sometimes they are installed but just not showing up (which could be why TB is messed up, probably a permissions thing). I would recommend checking if permissions are the problem (if using File Manager, it will show permissions and it should be -rw-r--r--) then do a permissions fix in recovery or long press each apk and change to Owner: read, write Group: read Others: read and rebooting, or deleting apks if they are there and then downloading the new ones from the play store

tl;dr fix permissions in recovery and if that doesn't work, check the /data/app folder for the apks and report back

I tried to fix permissions but I still couldn't restore them and also checked if the apps were in /data/apps but they weren't there.
