Hey all
I've had my vivid for a while, I'm running CM10 with sultan kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39590429). The other day I rebooted my phone and it took longer to boot than usual, it randomly reset itself and I lost everything (luckily I had a backup ). for some reason the kernel had downgraded itself, went from beta 14 to beta 12. I restored it from my backup but then it kept resetting itself, all the while I stayed on beta 12. Now I've decided to start a fresh, reinstalled CM10 to find that its not installing google play, another weird thing is that my kernel wont change, it stays as beta 12 even after following the instructions fully to upgrade. I need the newer kernel because it has some fixes I need. Also I need ideas as to why google play isn't installing. Any help/ideas are appreciated
Thanks in advance

Which version of TWRP ?
latest i believe
The disappearing apps is because of a problem with sultan kernel... it seems to corrupt the file system if you reboot at a certain time... I have no idea what causes it to corrupt
The play store problem is from you doing a full wipe without installing GAPPS...

Really? I didn't think CM10 needed gapps. I just tried a standalone install of play store 4.0.26 and it installed, but it just crashes when I try open it
That's cause you need other files from GAPPS for it to work
And the play store MUST be a system app

ok thanks, will try that
Trust rignfool he knows what he's talking about lol. And yes you do need gapps for cm10. The only problem with cm10 that I have is very poor in call volume. Since I'm speaking of it. @ rignfool do you know a fix for that? (very low in call volume)

I just made the leap from the latest stock AT&T ROM to the latest Holics ROM. I'm really liking it so far... everything is working really smoothly, with two exceptions. Google+ and Google Keep do not work. Google+ simply will not open and freezes my phone for several seconds. Google Keep opens and immediately closes with the error "Google Play Services are not available". These are the only 2 apps that appear to be affected. I have done the following...
Cleared data from both apps
Uninstalled and re-installed both apps
Cleared data from Google Play Services
Uninstalled and re-installed Google Play Services <--- I don't recommend this step to anyone. It completely screwed all my Google apps.
Factory reset
Re-flashed the ROM - Step-by-step to make sure I did it right
Can anyone point me in the right direction here?

I have no problem here (not holics rom) Maybe try a different ROM?
Resolved - Sort of...
I discovered that the problem was not present when I would initially flash the ROM. I could install all kinds of apps and make all kinds of tweaks and changes. It wasn't until I powered off the phone AND pulled the battery that the problem would present itself.
Here's the kicker. What I found was if I simply went in and uninstalled the updates from Google Play and then opened Google Play and let it re-install the latest update the problem would go away.
So, while it's not a resolution per se... it is an easy 5 minute work around. The phone works perfectly as long as I don't pull the battery. I've tested this work around 3 times and every time the problem went away.
At least now I won't have to worry about flashing another ROM until the call volume issues with the Jelly Bean ROMs gets resolved.
:good:
same problem, resolution not working

I tried your trick, after the 3rd time it work for me. This problem also affects the YouTube and Foursquare apps as far as I can tell.
However the problem returns each time the phone is restarted. Is there any other permanent fixs? Any similar ROM suggestions? (S-ON HTC Vivid)
You've had a bad flash. Wipe all partitions and start fresh. This happened to me before as well. Only way to fix it was to wipe all partitions and reflash

Same here. Been running Banancakes ROM for over a year, and loving every minute of it... But this issue with Google Keep is driving me up the walls. Thanks for your workaround, it saves the day for now, but this is one annoying bug. I don't use YouTube so wouldn't know, but I'll give it a look see to find out if the same applies.

I don't know. I have wiped and flashed quite a few times to try other ROMs and that behaviour is pretty consistent...

I had this same issue with keep and google plus using codefire desensed Rom on my vivid. I was able to fix it by wiping everything and reflashing the Rom but I also flashed ics gapps right away after. Don't know if that was necessary or not but now I no longer get that play services error. Also my play store app updated automatically to 4.0 right away where before it did not update.
Just a thought, but reflashing fixed my issue.

I'll probably give it another try, but I flashed it again recently and did exactly that : full wipe, gapps right away and I have the same issue as OP. I did restore a bunch of stuff via TB, so maybe that's where I screwed up...
After some time with CM 10.1, which started to crash and reboot randomly from time to time, I decided to revert to CM7. I flashed completely new stock rom, flashed the recovery and then CM7, the latest nightly, and then I flashed Gapps. But every app that is Google-related is working suprisingly slow. Play Store takes like one minute time to start and Youtube, which is not even included in gapps pckage, is not even launching until my screen goes off which means that it takes at least two minutes for the apps to show me my subscriptions.
But on JB everything seems to work just fine, except random reboots here and there. I tried to reflash the whole ROM, reflash gapps a few times and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? Maybe there is a way for the phone to mimic JB and then everything will be fine? Or is it gapps' fault? Maybe I downloaded wrong package [but it was signed gapps-gb, so...]?

how about downloading play store(com-vending.apk) n then manually downloading the required gapps! also u can place them in system\apps.
Usually GB should be faster than JB/ICS on our ACE. It should be a problem of your rom or of the gapps-package

I am running jcsullins cm10.1 experimental Bluetooth ROM, latest jbgapps for job 4.2.2. Google Play does not work anymore. It roles no it install any new app when I click on "install". Also, Google play freezes when I try to get to "settings". I had already reinstalled gapps, cleaned cache, with no help. I would appreciate any clues. Tks.

If you have some apps installed, Take a Nandroid Backup and then wipe data, system, cache, everything.
And then install the ROM and GApps.
I Hope this should help you.

From what rom did you come before updating to the experimental?
I am also having the play store not loading on the same bluetooth experimental rom. Since installing with GooManager last night with no system cleaning. I didnt install any new gapps everything carried over from the previous rom. I think the previous rom was one the first if not the original cm rom for the tp dual booting webOs with moboot. It is also not showing charging but the percent stayed at 86% through multiple reboots and 30 mins of web surfing. I turned it off last night with it plugged in and now it is showing 93%. The wifi icon is grey but I still have internet on the tp.
Just loaded WebOS and it is showing 96% and charging.
I am not complaining and have yet to diagnosis or really trouble shoot. A fresh install might fix my problems and I will probably try it in a day or two. I dont need to save anything.
I think JC's bluetooth rom had a bug in it that caused play store issues. The bug was fixed in a later nightly but I don't think JC ever released a new version. I remember reading about it at rootzwiki - head over there and do a quick search. Maybe there is a fix you can install in recovery.
Just flashed the latest nightly version on my I9300 (intl.) and stumbled upon a camera connection issue.
Does anyone know what should I do with it?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong forum, I've been looking for the best match of all...

I am experiencing issues with the camera as well. I am on 4.4.4-20140709-i777-nightly.zip and on first reboot, the camera was not taking pictures. When switching from photo to video, the resolution drops drastically. It took several restarts and now I can say it's taking pictures, but taking videos freezes the app, and other 3rd party video apps.

It can be a bit hit and miss, sadly. I use gapps provided by paranoid android, and the latest boeffla kernel (test branch).
How i usually install is this:
Rom
Gapps
Reboot and get set up
Back to recovery
Install kernel
Flash camera fix
And for good measure, wipe dalvik and cache.
Like i said though, it isnt a guaranteed fix u.u you can blame proprietary licences for that. Making lives difficult.

Thanks for your reply.
TWRP was already installed, I rooted, flashed Omni, flashed one modem, wifi didnt work, flashed another, that sorted it, flashed GAPPS, no camera, wiped everything, tried again, not working, wiped again, installed camera fix, not working, wiped again, not working, installed again, wiped again, etc, etc. Still not working
Edit : was on 2014-07-26, updated to 2014-07-28 and all working !!
Hello,
I have same problem with omni-4.4.4-20140730-i9300-NIGHTLY.zip, and other, older 4.4.3 versions !
I also have this problem on 4.4.4-20142728-i9305-nightly, and sometimes i take one photo then the camera app freezes. Tried the fix at http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/themes-apps/17-fixed-camera-app-lib-cm-aosp-roms-t2505973 i like the camera app much more from the fix fyi, this is making me considering changing rom.
And one other problem i have with this rom is that, every option that is enabled in the rom as default i have to disable it and the enable it again to make it work.
I have not changed the kernel or any other tweaks or anything, just flashed rom with a clean flash
I am getting a strange error on my phone. Until a week ago Google play store was working perfectly on my phone but now suddenly whenever I try to use it, it says unfortunately stopped all the time.
The only way I can use it by uninstalling updates but whenever I do that, the play store automatically updates, I have performed a clean wipe and reinstalled the rom, still no luck.
I am using chroma rom, 5.0.2 build, the final version
Any help is appreciated.

How about your google play services, does that need to be updated? My version is 7.0.99 and I am on version 5.4.10 of the play store
Maybe try a different gapps zip?

Have you tried a different rom/gapps combo? It may make sense to do a nandroid backup and then try a different 5.0.x rom/gapps. If that helps you can probably narrow it down to which software is causing the error.
Thanks for the help guys, I solved the issue, it turned out a layer was causing the problem, I removed it and everything is back to normal.

Great news. Would you mind using a more descriptive thread title next time please? As this is a Q&A forum, "help" is implied
