[Q] CM9 nightlies - Apps not dowloading/updating anymore - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have been running CM9 nightlies for some time now, periodically upgrading to the latest version available.
A few month ago, I noticed that I could not download new Apps from the Play store, and already installed apps would not upgrade anymore (it would see available updates and would try installing them, but download would fail).
I have tried reverting to older nightlies (through Goo manager) and re-installed Gapps (clearing all caches) - but this did not improve the situation.
Since then, I have re-ugraded to the latest nightly build (20130714), while expecting no improvement... I was right
Would you know what could be causing the situation? And even better, what could be attempted to fix it?
Note: I am using the latest Gapps for CM9. At some point I had tried using some seemingly newer versions proposed by Goo Manager (with "jcs" in their names), but I reverted to the official ones later. Not sure whether this could have caused the issue (and as I noticed the issue some time later, I cannot correlate it to the change in Gapps version).
Thanks in advance
Best Regards,
Ceredig

Goo Manager not working properly

As stated I am having problems with Goo manager.
When I check for updates it says none found and when I check available roms for nightly the latest 09/09 does show up but when I click on download it says completed but it is only a few kilobytes in size .
However if I DL from the nightly thread it downloads fine .
I have cleared cache/davlik and reset permissions . Is anybody else having this problem or have a suggestion .
Thanks

I got the same results... must have been an issue with the upload to the Goo servers or links or something. I downloaded the update directly and then used GooManager to flash it

Thanks , I had to do the same . Glad I'm not loosing it yet !
Another goo manager issue?
goo manager worked fine for me the last time I used it to download and install the 11_11 CM9 nightly build.
Now, when I use it (version 2.1.2) to get newer nightlies that I know exist, I cannot see them.
From goo manager I see the 10_28 nightly at the top of the list followed by 11_11, the 10_21 and a long list down to 08_14.
When I view the nightlies from the get.cm I see only 12_12, 11_25, 11_18, and 11_11.
Am i doing something wrong or is this a goo manager problem?
Add me to the list of people experiencing this. The GAPPS package it downloaded didn't add anything but the Google Play Store and didn't even add the Framework Services needed. Looking at the list I only see ROMs from October and earlier and only one apps package from way back in April 29.

Yes goo for some reason has not been updating the nightly Rom for some reason , it appears to have stopped since they sort of went weekly. But 4/29 is the correct gapps for CM9 Roms.
PS there is a new TWRP out which you should be able to get by checking for updates in the menu 3 dots in the top right hand corner but I haven't checked as am using CWM at the moment.

For some reason, Goo is not working. Every time I try to go to the website, it says the site is not available. Any ideas as to what's going on?

The site has been down for the last few days..... Nothing new with them. From reading other forums, it appears it's not effecting everybody. Some say they have no problem. I, for one, have not been able to get to it.

09/04 PAC-Man Nightly

Tried flashing this and lost root. I'm assuming Razr_blade isn't working because it's 4.3. Downloading the 09/08 nightly now to try that. Anyone else experience this?
This appears to be fixed in the 09/08 build. I did see Superuser is now integrated into the system settings, whereas in the previous build it was not (even though the change log said it was).

[Q] Google Apps not working with CM11, help?

I've spent the last two days trying to get Google Apps (at least the Play Store most importantly) to work on my TP again after I updated to CM11. I have the latest CM11 nightly installed with the latest (supposedly) working gapps.zip but I haven't been able to get things working.
Surprisingly, I haven't found any specific solution to my issue (Play Store crashes on launch, Google+ application loops on cannot connect pop up, etc).
Can someone tell me on how to proceed to solve such issues?
I feel like my last chance at trying to solve this is just going back to 10.2, help?

I would use ACMEuninstaller to clean everything. Then flash the CM11 again.

[Q] anybody else having issues on milaqs cm11 build?

I recently upgraded to milaqs 4.4 rom and have been plagued with issues since then, some of which include:
no camera
sleep of death (seems to only happen when using Google now launcher, may occur with other custom launchers)
random reboots, mostly when in sleep
google sync errors
getting stuck in a reboot
certain apps like youtube stop working properly after some time
time resets to jan 1st 1970 on every reboot
wallpaper and saved wifi networks reset seamingly at random when rebooting
playstore crashes when trying to install apps often
when restoring and redownloading apps, sometimes apps get stuck on "installing" until rebooting
can mount legacy storage but cannot open, transfer or delete items from it
sliver about 2 pixels wide on right side of screen when in landscape unless changing dpi to 155
This is running on the feb 27th nightly build
Is anybody else having similar issues?
Netflix
Hi for me this is a very stable build. the best I've tried so far.
The only Problems I have are:
No Camera ( I don't use it so not a big deal)
I do get the installing apps issue sometimes but hasn't happen in a week.
Netflix was broken. But I found away to get it working. after searching the web found someone who said to download the older 2.4 or 2.4.1 and it will work. I downloaded it. This worked. Now I have a working Netflix app.
It was quite a hassle to find the 2.4.1 version. Don't forget to turn off auto updates for the apps or it will install the lastet Netflix app which doesn't work for kitkat yet.
The kitkat 4.4.2 builds are new and I expect them to be buggy. But I'm really thankful that they are underdevelopment. They are really really good. The Milaq build in particular is great. I'm now using this for my day to day use. I don't really have to many complaints with it. I'm running the latests build Mar 02 nightly build.
sleep of death
Well I had the sleep of death on the Mar 2 build of CM11 Milaq. This is only the second time its happen to me since I installed this build about 3 weeks ago. had to press the power and the home button to re-boot. its works fine now. will keep you posted
webcam doesnt work

for me webcam doesnt work reliably
Tried it and cm10.2 back at Christmas, but some important - to me - things were not working - Bluetooth, camera, ... devs have since worked their magic... jcsullins 5/4 build seems v good - e.g. best Skype stability I have ever had.

Everything H/W is working for me on CM11 from milaq
:good: Everything hardware and application is working quite nicely and stable too!
Where I am having some issues is with ROOT access.
For example trying to create the moboot.default file with any of the valid file managers is not working. I have had to use a recovery file to actually get the file created with the default boot image I wanted.
Besides that it is running quite nicely and stable.
Mind you I have done a clean install from scratch (which is usually recommended) since I was running CM10.1 prior to migrating to CM11.
I believe the issue above is based on some modifications GOOGLE has implemented, but even the available fixes are not working for me to gain access to the SD CARD partitions.
A big thank you to milaq for this great still evolving ROM build.
Running the 20140429 nightly at the time of writing this post.
Try Rom Toolbox.

CM12.1-20151204 Problem

Just installed latest CM12.1 along with gapps latest pico (1204). Install all OK but on first boot it gets stuck at the "no sim card installed" screen. Every time I hit skip play services stop and then I'm back at "no sim card". Have restored to previous working backup of CM from 1202 (CM of 1203 was also OK but no otg).
Going to retry with earlier gapps in case that was the problem. Anyone else had similar?
Gapps Problem
I have heard reports of people having trouble with Gapps on 12.1 for the fire. From what I understand you have to use the ARM Pico Gapps for it to work properly. That is what I used and have never encountered the problem you are describing.

Yes, using pico and no probs with two previous builds of CM12.1, only with today's build. Unfortunately I can't find either yesterday's CM build or gapps, thought I'd saved them. Going to try today's CM again with the only other gapps I have which is from a week or so ago.
Re the above, what are the risks of doing a more complete wipe in twerp before installing a rom? So far just doing a factory reset and flashing over but would like to make sure I wipe any existing gapps otherwise I suspect that an older version will not update a newer. Is it safe to wipe the system partition?
I am also having this issue installing the latest version of CM. Just got my tablet today so I don't have any previous versions of the rom or gapps to test with. If you find links to older versions of these can you let me know.

I can't find yesterday's version of ggow's CM but for an earlier gapps you can go to rootjunkies download site at rootjunkysdl.com and in the "Android Fire 5th gen" section under CM12 there are earlier versions of both CM and gapps.
Where I am now is with a working version of today's CM12.1 (to whit, 20151204) which I flashed over a restore from a couple of days ago without installing gapps so that I'm using the gapps that were in the restored setup, those, I think, are from the 1st or 2nd of this month. So far all seems fine but I've only just down it so there's not been much testing (eg. Otg)
It's also worth getting rootjunkies "SuperTool" as it has a convenient option to boot recovery when you have trouble starting twerp (at least it helped me)

Guess its a problem with the latest gapps build, or an incompatibility between gapps and the latest CM.
OTG is now working for me but with the problem that when a USB drive is removed android seems to think that the SD card is gone and invalidates any apps stored on it ( though it is still available in file manager) until a reboot. This is is not unique to CM so I suppose it's an android problem; the same thing happens on my Hudl2 running kk4.4.4 and my Moto G running L5.1, though on the Hudl2 you can get around it by just yanking the USB device without unmounting.. Makes using otg a real pain!
I have been having this problem as well. I installed the latest CM12.1 with the latest OpenGAPPS and the play store (google services) kept crashing repeatedly. I tried all the different latest GAPPS. and nothing would work.
The GAPPS from rootjunkies 20151120 did however work. Thanks for pointing me to that version.
