I cant seem to find a reliable gapps for CM12.1, SlimLP and Resurrection Remix. I have tried Dankomans slim mini, TkGapps, OpenGapps pico, nano, full, they all install just fine but then when the system boots and i try to login to the play store to update my apps they all start 505ing and its usually just google apps and services, i seem to be able to install other non google apps just fine.
If someone could help point me in the right direction i'd really appreciate it, ive been flashing for hours, im at my wits end. :crying::crying::crying:

Open GAaps arm/5.1/nano works fine. Your problem lies elsewhere. Be sure to do a full wipe and flash GAaps concurrent with rom. Leave FlashFire defaults alone.
I tried to use Open Gapps and it didnt work for SlimLP, so I installed CM12.1 with Open Gapps, I am getting the same problems with CM12.1, So i said lets try another rom, I installed Resurrection Remix, same problem, so i tried tkgapps same thing. why is it 505ing with every gapps package and rom that i Use? is there something im doing wrong? Perhaps the newer builds on open gapps have probelms? Should i try an older build? I am using flashfire 0.53
Here is what i do when flashing list order first to last:
1. Wipe: System Data, 3rd Party apps, Dalvik, Internal storage, Cache Partition
2. Install Rom.xxx.zip (default ff settings)
3. install SuperSU (default settings)(if necessary)
4. Install Gapps package (Default ff settings)
everything goes through smoothly, i get to a good running environment. Then, once I add my google account and open the store, it attempts to check for updates. Updates are usually available for google webview etc, they all fail with a 505. Tried, removing account then signing back in, changing time, clearing cache stopping processes, nothing seems to solve the issue.
so ive finally encountered a solution to at least get everything running. Install CM12.1 with TKgapps (tk_gapps-modular-pico(uni)-5.1.1-20150920-signed.zip) NOT opengapps. Not sure why opengapps isnt working right now but its not, with no rom that i have tried (fire 7" 2015) other versions of tkgapps didnt work either they also 505ed on me, but these ones work great.
You can find them here:

Still hoping for good working gapps for SlimLP (my favorite so far)
yeah... so even after all of that, i woke up just to find it 505ing again. fml.
i have never had this problem with any rom for any other device, EVER. this is so frustrating.
I gave up on finding a fully functional gapps package for any roms on this device. What I did is just force update every apk 505ing on me through ADB. Everything is running smoothly now. Will update if anything changes. (should have done this like 5 hours ago... but when you are tired you dont think straight... hahahaha)

Sorry to hear of all the problems w/GAaps packages. Seems to be a 1-off as a large community uses Open GAaps on this device w/o issue. Multiple ROMs.

I'm running Aosp's Gingerbread Alpha on my Hero, but I haven't been able to get any of Cyanogen's gapps files to install. Every time I reboot after installing a gapps pack I go straight to boot-looping. The phone works fine though without any gapps installed though.
I'm thinking that one of the many apps in gapps isn't compatible, and causing the reboot. I have a backed up copy of my Vending-2.apk, but nothing else. When I go to open market, it immediately closes -- probably because it never presents me with a TOS screen.
What other apks do I need to make *just* Market work?
I could not get the market to load with the 10/25 gapps.. I used the 10/20 gapps and everything loaded no problem...
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
Weird! For me, the 12/25 gapps were the only ones that wouldn't cause a continuous reboot cycle. I installed them after I'd already booted into Gingerbread once, per the instructions.
I like having a clan system, so I was happy to see that Titanium Backup was on there and would let me remove unwanted gapps in "Chuck Norris Mode"

i dunno if this will work for you but i used these gapps....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782320 for my set up im using firerats mod with cm 6.1(s-off) and when that flashed only market, talk and i think lilke the google search was there and thats it
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.
I have a quick questions concerning the update to CM13:
(I'm running the latest 12.1 nightly, which is getting quite old I guess, so I read in the developer forum that the latest CM13 build are running quite well, but I'm not really sure how to update..)
- In the developer forum I seem to understand it's recommended to download the nightly, also download gapps and install both before booting again, right?!
- But - will I keep my data, apps, settings?
- Do I have to take care of sth else? (I already made a nandroid backup and copied the sd card)
- I'm also unsure because the CM updater just offers me the newest CM13 nightlies .... could I just click on install there?!!?!
(Hope it's okay to ask these questions )
Yes, you could just install CM 13 from the updater and lose nothing. However it is recommended to wipe the device, then install CM 13.
THanks for help, it didn't work as easy yesterday. (I had to flash cm-13.0-20160119-NIGHTLY-victara and open_gapps-arm-6.0-nano-20160120 in TWRP manually, or maybe just the gapps manually because before that CM would "optimize apps" until it would reboot again, it never stopped. After flashing nano gapps it worked somehow...)
But today I destroyed everything again, :crying:
I clicked on the cm-13.0-20160120-NIGHTLY-victara update from within CM (CM updater)
It went to TWRP, applied the update, rebooted and since then it is in this bootloop again, I had yesterday
but flashing gapps doesn't fix it today
- someone got an idea how to fix this?; the most thing I care about are the new Messages in Whatsapp Messenger I didn't read before clicking on the update ... is there a way to keep them? (For example, if I back up /data now, wipe my phone, install CM13, restore /data ... would this work?!)
it would be great if someone could help me, I read the forums, but so far nothing I tried worked.
(I tried flashing todays nightly, yesterdays, my last step was wiping /system and then installing CM, gapps ... but it stays in this bootloop)
Sorry for being a newbie; if there's no help, please just tell me that there's no way to get back my unread messages, then I'll wipe and start from scratch :crying:
I somehow managed to boot once again, backup my Whatsapp data, then I wiped everything, made a clean install and everything was fine exept some data loss ..
(If someone has the same problem I might have some tips, but I'm not sure)
Until it started to bootloop again
But I think I know what my problem was and is. Back in CM12.1 I had the Google Search app "deactivated", after the update to CM13 ... I think I deactivated it again and that's what caused the endless boot.
(I just tried it again now after an backup, it's the cause, I hope after restoring the backup I didn't destroy everything again
But ... is this okay behavior? Back in CM12 I could disable Google Search without problems..
- Should I report this somewhere? Where? or is it not important?
- Would there be a way to "activate" Google Search from outside the OS?
I'm right now I'm at a point where I hate stock and these custom roms are great, but hate being held back by the Play store no longer allowing me to download/update Netflix which is used often.
Previously I had installed
KatKiss - Nougatella #023,
SuperSU
Gapps - Stock
I suppose I could have just installed netflix through the apk but I figured that would only be a temp solution.
So my first steps were to wipe and go back to stock.
I then proceeded to add CWM recovery back (Also tried with TWRP)
I wiped
I then ran an uninstall SuperSU zip (which may or may not have been needed but seemed safer to try.
I installed KatKiss
Then Magisk
Then Gapps - Stock
This will cause lots of crashing right from the start of the setup wizard... the the app/stopped don't ever stop. A lot of google related stuff as soon as I conect to Wifi.
I started over.
This time I installed Gapps - Mini instead.
No longer crashes the set up wizard. Everything seems stable.
At this point I have access to the tablet through KatKiss.
When I run Magisk Manager, the safetynet check never finished. Just spins.
If I hide the PlayStore from root and try to find Netflix it won't be there.
However, if I now install Gapps-Stock through recovery at this point... I can then go back to the Play Store and find Netflix. It will be there.
However, I still can't pass SecureNet check. It just spins.
I first thought to myself... Thats ok. I don't need it, Netflix was really the issue I needed addressing and I have that.
So I started putting apps back on my tablet to find... apps were crashing more. Facebook for example will never work. Just crashes on startup.
So something just isn't right and I don't really know what I'm doing. In the past I always just followed easy to follow guides.
Note: I believe I have better luck with KatKiss build #021. 023 gave me more issues with this process so I had 021 on hand.
You really should go with the gapps version recommended by the dev of your rom and that would be pico gapps in this case. If you flash a different gapps package you're on your own for trouble shooting fc'ing apps and system UI and such...
I have no idea if this rom works with Magisk and would be tickled to find out, but I don;t have the time for it right now. On other devices there were problems when the rom was pre-rooted or for some the build-in busybox did not work and they had to flash a different version. There could also be a problem if the boot image has been modded for SuperSU and idk if it has been on this rom.
Try this first:
If you flashed any other than pico gapps version you really should format /data before reflashing the rom. That done:
format /system, wipe /cache and Dalvik, then flash the rom and pico gapps, then flash unsu by osmosis followed by the Magisk flash. Then install Magisk Manager and try to pass Safetynet with both Busybox enabled and disabled.
Let me know how it goes
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63615067
Edit: couldn't help myself - had to try it :cyclops:
So I tried a quick and dirty switch from SuperSU rooted Katshmallow v33 to the same rom with Magisk. No reflash, just wiped cache and Dalvik, flashed unsu and then Magisk. Root works fine but it does not pass Safetynet check, Netflix app does not show in Playstore, device is uncertified in Play.
The failed check says: CTS profile mismatch and I believe that is the problem with the Busybox version that comes with Magisk. Read something somewhere about replacing it with a different one which solved the problem for some folks...
I'll dig some more later....
Thanks for the info. I didn't realize the importance of using Gapps-Pico in this case. I just figured they were recommending a light-weight Gapps opposed to a larger one... So I always went with "stock" and never had an issue.
I'll keep that in mind for debugging future issues.
I'm not sure how important formatting /system was... I always left that one alone, but I was formatting /data /cache and Dalvik
That CTS profile stuff all seems beyond my knowledge at the moment. I guess let me know what you find when you do.
Thanks again
No issues? I thought you had "lots of crashing".. ??
So you want me to do all the leg work, yes? Sorry man, it's you who wants Netflix :silly:
I dirty flashed the rom, ran unsu, then flashed Magisk and osmosis' Busybox but Safetynet check still fails for me...
Don't have time to do a clean install just now, but that would be the next step...
I like Magisk as systemless root and I got it working for my purposes.
As for Netflix - I don't use it much on the tablet and I just squirreled away the 4.16.1 version. Just in case I accidentally update it to the newer ones....
Sorry if that was unclear. I meant I never had any issues using Gapp Stock before this whole Rooted/Netflix thing came up last week. Now it is what it is.
And yeah, I didn't mean for it to be like I was asking anything of you. I'm not. You just seemed like the type who would be tinkering with this kind of stuff. If not, no worries.
Information/guidance is what I'm after. Not leg work.
I'm sure I just need to be patient really. Since a lot of people use Netflix I'm sure this will get a lot more attention in the near future.
Thanks again.
Hi there, i'm quite confused and desperate. I was on Computerfreaks stock rom for a while untill i decided i needed to change the flavor of my device a little bit and installed RR 6.0.
Sadly it came with a lot of bugs, one day it logged me out of my whatsapp account every hour and i had to do all the first-time setup again, so i grew tired of it and installed the flashable stock 6.0 rom zip.
Everything was good, but then when i tried to install whatsapp google play would tell me that it couldn't install, error code 504. It had nothing to do with the avaliable storage obviously so then i did the whole google account removal/ erasing cache, uninstalling, rebooting, etc. Nothing, the mistake keep going. I downloaded the apk directly, and when i tried to install it, it wouldn't pass the setup and just display "app cannot be installed" only gaving me the option to accept it.
This is when i realized it had to be a bigger problem, so i switched roms ro RR 7.1.2, i could install the app.....however it simply crashed at launch, and wouldn't even allow me to complete the initial setup. I've changed the DPI, governors, tried with beta versions and older versions of the app, and nothing. I've tried with AOSP extended, Kang, and the roms mentioned above without success.
It's funny thought, every other app works wonderfully, it just this annoying thing that i actually need to use, that refuses to install.
In twrp i've wiped everything. System, Data, internal storage, dalvik, cache.
I've tried using another google account.
I just don't know what else to do.
Fun fact, i've also tried to see if this was the app's fault and just for the lolz i've installed it on my tablet.....it worked at the first installation like a charm.

I'm sorry you are having issues, but it has nothing to do with the ROMs you have used. How are you restoring data when you flash the new ROMs, if you are restoring data? Are you using Titanium Backup?
My wife and I are on RR 6.x and we both have and use What's App. Nothing is wrong with it. It doesn't log us out "every hour" -- never logs us out.
RR 6.x doesn't have "a lot of bugs" -- in fact it's rock stable and that's why I've stuck with it instead of going to Nougat ROMs. And because of xposed modules, which I am loathe to give up just yet.
Considering LOTS of people use What's App on all the ROMs you mentioned -- including my personal experience with two XT1225 on RR 6.X -- it's not the ROMs at fault in any way.
I know it's not the ROMs fault, I've ruled that out since I've changed 5 times of rom and it keeps failing. Yet I don't know what I should do to solve this problem. I'm not restoring any data, I've done a full clean install everytime, no xposed, even no root sometimes.
