I came from ARHD 1.2.2 and wiped cache, data and delvik and flashed to OpenSensation 200121007 with 4ext. and gapps 20120429.

all is well except Play won't restore any apps. Not looking forward to a one by one.
Any suggestions for an easier fix?

Tried removing my settings/acct and adding in Play. Finds my apps, but that's all.

Should I re-flash CM9, then gapps, then OS, then Bricked?

Yes also before flashing did you wipe data factories reset after wiping cash and dalvik? Make sure you have nandroid backup incase something goes wrong. Steps, wipe cash, wipe dalvik, wipe data factory reset, flash Rom, flash gaaps , see if that solved your issue. Hopefully it will. Best of luck. Before flashing Rom in 4 ext I always wipe data factory reset along with cash and dalvik for a clean install. Hope this helps. Best wishes .

Darn the Luck ! ! ! No change. I did from scratch.
Guess it's a one by one.

If you have nandroid, restore nandroid, use titanium backup to backup all apps, install new ROM, Gapps and restore from titanium backup.

While you are at it, I'll suggest try CM10.

I do have nandroid, bur I figured the last time I tried OS it was unstable so I didn't use the nandroid.

Is CM10 stable with OpenSense 1007, WiFi calling and tether?

Perhaps you can answer this.
Some suggested that TWRP was a better recovery. I tired it with the todays re-flash and still have these (gapps) issues. But it seems to have overwritten 4ext though it does use some element of 4ext based on the progress log.
Is there a way to delete TWRP and just go back to 4ext?

CM10 is quite stable not sure how it compares with Opensensation. Bruce CM10 is getting updates almost every other day. I asked you to try because since you are between ROM's you can get a feel of what CM10 is and how it works out for you.

Wifi calling , I don't think works on any AOSP/CM based ROM. Tether I've never used so dunno again. Check CM10 forum.

I think you can install 4ext on top of TWRP to replace it.

WTH, I'll try another. So far (knock silicon) OS is pretty stable. I think I didn't properly wipe the first time I tried and/or this kernel is better.
WiFi and Tether do work with AOSP (pretty sure OS is AOSP derived).
4ext simple wouldn't reinstall over TWRP2, although it doesn't appear that TWRP is making some use of 4ext "routines" somehow.
Since OS is stable, I'm good.

That happened to me when I changed my hboot by way of upgrading the firmware and my phone got a different android ID. I think titanium Backup gives you the option to restore the latter id number if you run it just when you are starting to setting up your phone. I didn't know that so I ended up installing one by one but gave me the chance to discard the ones I wasn't using
