[Q] CM10.1 + Gapps killing root - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. I'm having a problem with Superuser since it doesn't seem to work with 10.1. It keeps crashing and while programs seem to be able to get temporary root it usually ends with a force close of Superuser and the program looses its root.
I did search the forum and saw that a few people were getting the same error early/mid december but said that it was fixed ~ Dec 20th. I am however still getting these errors and can't find any permanent solutions. I even tried replacing Superuser with SuperSU which didn't work either.
My installation :
Installing JW4 per Odin
Installing CF-Root 4.4 for JW4 (flash as PDA per Odin)
Installing CM10.1 from internal SD-Card per CWM
Installing GAPPS from internal SD-Card per CWM -> ends with loosing root and having to restore it in CWM (which doesn't work apparently).
After this I get the beforementioned problems. If I only install CM10.1 there aren't any problems with root whatsoever. Is there a fix for this?
edit:
Ok what seems to work so far is reinstalling SuperSU after the GAPPS installation (which apparently breaks it). Still a bit shady though?

You sure you are using the latest nightly and the latest gapps ?

Yes. Latest Nightly from pawitp and gapps 20121212. Thought I might find newer gapps but had no success in doing so.

I hope the latest nightly that you are talking about has been downloaded from here http://get.cm/?device=galaxysmtd
I think the pawtip one you are talking about may be the pre-nightly version.. In any case I would suggest to download the latest one from above link and redownload gapps from goo.im and then try

CM 11 erros.

Hello,
I installed CM11 on my galaxy s gti9000. All went fine but I get some errors. I tried one nightly build and I constantly got this error: " Unfortunately media manager has stopped." Now with the latest build Download manager isn't working, neither does the gallery. I get a similar error. I can disable those apps but I'll not be able to download apps from google play store. I'm certain that I did something wrong as I'm a newbie in this stuff. Any help?
Hi,
from which version you have installed cm11 ??? Did you wiping cache and data-partition??? Please give us more infos, what you have done ...
Here is a installation-guide:

I think it was from 2.3 as the tutorial said. It was like a month ago so I'm not sure... Is there anyway I can downgrade to a good version and then install CM11 again? If yes, what version do you recommend me?

Actually, downgrade doesn't seem to be necessary in your case. I would on your place first try to install ROM again as "clean installation" and it should work well.
download latest CM11 nigtly ROM
download Gapps from the opening post
paste the files on the root folder of either internal or external SD card of your i9000
reboot to recovery mode
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced")
install zip CM11
install Gapps
reboot
enjoy
Any news about your CM11-Installation??? Does it work now with clean-install-tutorial ???

Hello, sorry for late response. I did a clean install as suggested with the 29 december nightly rom and everything works great now. Before the install, I was getting another error, something with android.process.media has stopped working and I deleted every media file on my internal sdcard because I had lots it (few hundreds I think). I don't know which solution worked but everything works fine now. Thx for the support.

No problem, thanks and great to hear that your CM11 now works as desgined :good:
The media-process sometimes makes problems, you can clean data and a few time later it will start again searching for media files ...this should work ...

CM 10.2.1 - play store no longer works

CM 10.2.1-ovation
Android 4.3.1
Date and time: Use network time
Kernel: 3.031-green+
After installing the latest CM "stable" update using the built in CM upgrade system, the google play store no longer works. I get "No connection retry" when loading play store. Prior to 10.2.1 play store functioned normally.
I googled this, and found none of the solutions worked. I've tried:
1. Ensuring network time is set
2. clearing data cache from play store app
3. Uninstalling and reinstalling play store from an apk
Wondering if this is a known issue with a known fix from someone in the community.
Thanks
If you were previously using CM 10.1.3 (Android 4.2.2) and have now upgraded to CM 10.2 (Android 4.3), you need to reinstall GAPPS for your new Android version.
So you'll need to download the latest GAPPS, found here: http://goo.im/gapps (for CM10.2.x) and then boot into CWM Recovery and install GAPPS manually. The automatic CM updater does not install GAPPS unfortunately.
Once you've done that, reboot back into Android and you're good to go. All the best.

Thanks! I did a factory reset and installed gapps. Everything works again. I guess when upgrading android versions using the CM updater, gapps will always have to be reinstalled? This is by design? Weirdly, no other gapps had any issues after the upgrade. Gmail, youtube, etc all worked fine, just not the play store.

You only need to update gapps when you do a major update like you did from CM10.1 to CM10.2. But you now have CM10.2 stable so there will be no more updates to it.

Doubts about CM12 Nightly

Hi all
I recently buy Droid4 (received 2/3 days ago).
I rooted, installed safestrap, installed CM12 Nightly , installed custom OC kernel and, now, flash Xposed framework Alpha 2.
I have some doubts about updates CM12
1) I can't update via OTA, CM updater stop. is this normal?
2) Yesterday i flashed the last nightly version (12, i had 11), and i lost some things, it's normal?
- Custom kernel (normal)
- Gapps (??)
- Xposed framework (??)
its too difficult download >200MB every version, flash it, flash gapps, flash xposed.....
3) what do you think about CyanDelta Updater?
4) how turn off vibration? xD

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.

Cyanogenmod 13 issues

I have the L90 I have rooted. I can flash CM12.1 no problem. When I flash CM 13 I get the following issues.
1. I can't update the Supersu binaries.
2. Can't flash supersu from TWRP. Just stalls at boot screen. Tried 2.52 & 2.66.
3. I can't uninstall any apps using Titanium backup. They uninstall & then just reappear.
4. Root explorer FC. Works on any other rom on this phone.
Any thoughts?

1. Known issue...it doesnt work on cm 13 .
2. Supersu you must flash from twrp to make it work fully... But it works on older builds 3. Make titanium backup as system app.
4. Try total commander...It's fully working.

Thanks for the info. Will there be a supersu that works or is it just the way it is? Which version would you recommend?
