Why don't you try dynamic gappsI installed the ROM correctly and it works perfectly.
The problem happens when I install GApps. I've tried both ARM 7.0 Stock and ARM 7.0 Pico versions of Open GApps. Both end up in google play services crashing every time I try to do anything google, including just adding an account.
If I install GApps first, then the setup process will involve adding an account through google and I won't have the ability to get past setup and into the phone.
However, if I install the ROM, boot it and then go through setup, then go back and flash GApps, I can boot the phone and use it, which is how I know the whole ROM itself is working well, but as soon as I open a google app it will ask to add an account and play services will crash.
Is there a different set of GApps I should be using? Or is this a problem with the ROM's interaction with google apps?
