I am running aokp 4.4 kitkat nighly and I wanted to update. When I update without wiping anything on top of my previous rom it works, but my google play is missing. Also , my folders and widgets went away leaving me with only gallery and setting on the main page. Google now was not there either.
How do I update without losing my data?
Do i have to wipe anything before flashing?
Thank you in advance
Gapps are stored in system which is formatted when you update, you have to flash gapps again.
Nightlys are not really for normal use so you shouldn't have any data that you're worried about losing on there.

I would think about trying another rom. You should be able to dirty flash an update for the rom that's already on your phone without losing anything.

Some nightlies can be a daily driver, just have to pick a developer who is well known for their work and not someone who just started learning last night!
Sure, you have to start somewhere, but I think you know what I'm saying.

Hi all
I've just switched to ICS from the rom uploaded by kwiboo.
everything seems fine except that i can't configure my Google account.
when i try to add an account, i can't see Google account. if i try to add it as a corporate, i always get a message saying "unfortunately, exchange server stopped"
any one faced the same problem ?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Sounds like you've got a bad zip download or flash. Try wiping system, boot, data, cache and re-flash. Post this stuff in Kwiboo's thread for support.
hmm hey ask around the glaxy nexus people might just be a ICCS bug too
ICS wifi issue
Google account works fine with me, 3G is a bit unstable though.
Been flashin all the ICS betas prepared by drew and on none of them my wifi worked.
Flashed newly published AOSP ICS rom but wifi still refuses to work
It doesn't seem to find any of the networks around me. Any suggestions how to correct that?
Also, i've noticed that battery drain is huge with this rom. 12% off in just 23 minutes.
it happened to me too, when i tried my luck flashing ICS on top of CM7 nightly without wiping data.
it works ok when wiping like we should tho
Wipe it! Should work afterward
Thank you all
I wiped the cache first but it didn't work.
then I wiped the whole thing. It's working now.
thanks again.

is there any way to do this without wipin all the data? maybe wiping just the data for google apps?
Yeah, I simply added my Google account like on any other Android release without any issues
Hey guys.
Phone is CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4) and Paranoid Android (Android 4.4)
What happened:
Phone crashed (screen became full of colors and phone restarted). After reboot everything on the phone was gone - GApps, all my apps, save a few of like a 100. Basically a fresh CM install without GApps.
What I did was flash GApps (correct package). Everything worked fine until I've tried to install an app. Phone immediately rebooted.
I've tried wiping everything, doing factory resets, installing older CM builds, now I've even installed Paranoid Android ROM. Still the same problem persist:
If I try to install any app from Play Store or just from an apk with I file manager - phone immediately reboots. The only way I can now use it is by disabling Play Store so it doesn't start to update something
Has anyone ever encountered this?
Is this the right forum to ask?

Maybe you just need to flash gapps right after the rom. I flashed cm without gapps once and when i booted back into recovery to flash gapps my phone crashed.
Doing them one after the other is the way to go.

Thanks for suggestion, I've tried that several times, didn't help...
I had the opposite after a crash on a nexus 4 over a year ago.. phone would reboot unistalling any app wether by play store or settings/apps.
after trying everything for most of a day, the only thing that fixed it was formatting the data partition.. not wiping, there's a format data option in twrp

I'll try this! But when? Before installing CM and Gapps, after?
Tried various ways, no game
A bit of a weird one.
Updated to CM12.1 Atares ROM :good: I have been running CM12 ROMS for ages and updated to the 12.1 via the OTG in settings and using Nightlies.
I have only noticed problem yesterday and going back to CM12 just causes more problems, also going back to the previous Nightly doesn't help
I cannot access Google Play Store. 'Check your connection and try again' All WiFi settings are correct etc... even when using mobile data, I still cannot get access.
My GT1905 has disappeared off my devices list on the play store too! I've also noticed that Google+ has disappeared off my phone too, but more interestingly my SUBCARD app has gone too! (not sure if others have gone but I noticed this as I like a subway :yum: ) But... if I go to the playstore on my phone (or PC/tablet etc...) via chrome it says it's installed! I cannot access it via my apps list.
So other than doing a wipe of my phone if there any other suggestions?
Did you perform a full wipe before updating?
You cannot just flash it over an old CM 12 you need a fresh install.

Well I would of done if it hadn't come via the OTA updates, never noticed it went from CM12 to CM12.1 until Monday/Tuesday last week.
Will do a full wipe later on today and see what happens.

Custom rom OTA's are not like official rom OTA's. Doing a wipe is still recommended. Anyway, force stopping google play and clearing app cache and data might help you in this case.
Had similar issues on other roms, even though I wiped before flashing.

Guys, an easier way is this. Just turn on Battery Saver mode and your update or download will start immediately...

Your phone download update of google play service in the background, that's why other download are in "pending" status

I don't think that's the case, because it took quite a lot of time
For about a week, I also have this problem.

You can also delete Google Play Services cache, this works pretty well in those cases. Even if you have problems trying to download a device system update.
Even it's data (in this case you'll have to add an account for Google's data backup again).
However, keep in mind this kind of processes won't work well if you have enabled apps, device features or Magisk modules that force device to save battery in some way.

Would be good to tell us which system you've installed.
Any custom ROM? Are you in stock?
On the first case, check ROM installation.
If it came with gapps preinstalled, better flash an updated version of that ROM (clean or dirty would change, depending of Android major verion in which that update is based), otherwise flash another gapps, I use OpenGapps.Try to flash, at least, nano gapps.
If you're on stock, things are quite different, since there you haven't the same way so solve things, more than than reflashing firmware.

Stock Android One version 9 (Pie) with regular updates. :silly:
Looks like something is screwed up there.
Is your device rooted?
I feel that would be better to backup your data and flash latest firmware with Mi Flasher tool.
The same is happening some times and on my A1 and is fully updated stock rom without root or any other thing...
I think it has to do with the latest version of Google store or Google services...

Oh, you've downgraded 9.0.0 to 5.1.7 and then updated to 9.0.2
That isn't a good idea... Anyways, let's see how we can help you.
Is your wife's phone rooted and has unlocked bootloader and TWRP? Anything?

So it also means the bootloader is NOT unlocked and you don't have a twrp recovery installed?

I'm sure the issue is cause of down and updating in a dirty way. You can maybe try again install 9.0.0 then 9.0.2
Otherwise a factory reset is the next option you should consider cause there's no way to wipe separate partitions or backup anything with stock recovery and without root or external help.
