So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:

You need to perform a full wipe though.

Yes I did try Opengapps which also didn't work
Edit: The gapps is 6.x.x while my phone is 5.1.1, That won't break my phone will it?

You need 5.1 gapps then.

I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Thanks for the reply, I'm downloading micro right now. Gonna fresh install CM 12.1 using TWRP then boot my phone fully before going back to recovery and flashing Gapps
Will edit my post within 30 mins with the result
Edit: No luck, And now for some reason my phone does not recognise my sim card
Could you try GearCM? Official CM for i9500 had lots of issues.
Sent from my GT-I9500

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I recommend against doing this. The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems. Stick with the latest TWRP.

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)

Just flashed OmniRom beta 2 build together with gapps linked in the OmniRom thread and I get fc on first boot on both NFC service and one more android service something something - can't get passed the pop ups and a reboot into recovery is all I can do.
Wiped system using TWRP 2.6.3.2 and cleared cache after install - did another wipe after reboot just to be sure. I have seen this on other roms that I try to flash?
am I doing something wrong during the flash process?
Wipe (default twrp)
install rom and gapps
clear cache/dalvik
reboot
Tried different gapps with no success..
I tried to flash the first OmniRom (build 1) with the same problems and I also got CM start tutorial when I had flashed OmniRom?? So it feels like the wipe is not working as it should?

Where did you get the build? If you got a CM start tutorial then you definitely didn't wipe, and i wonder what exactly you're flashing? This would be anything official Omni

As this is far from an official build, you will want to direct your issues to the porter/builder of the ROM in that thread you linked.

Think I found the problem - a "default" wipe in twrp won't do it - I had to go in to advanced and choose "cache,dalvik,data and system" now it works like a charm! Good to know for the future..
Every time I flash cyamogenmod rom in clockwork mod or twrp on my s4 I get stuck on boot symbol. I follow instructions but always fail please help.

1. You have to wipe all (system, data, cache and dalvik) before flash Cyanogen Mod.
2. Boot symbol needs time normally (~ 10 min loading the config).
In what order do you wipe everything ?
I do a factory reset, then wipe cache and finally wipe the dalvik cache
That's it, buddy. With emphasis on "FACTORY RESET".
Let's us know if that worked for ya...
Does it matter what custom recovery you have ?

Is clockworkmod or team win better ?
TWRP. Certain ROMs will not install with Clockworkmod as the recovery.

Let's clarify something. What model number shows up when you enter download mode? Also, is it hanging on the Samsung logo or the boot animation?

It gets stuck at cyamogenmod logo and the download mode model number is Samsung MSM8960
Umm, no. The model number should be GT-I9505 or something similar. Regardless, what GApps package are you using? CM12.1 has trouble with some of the GApps packages and bootloops occur because of it.
Sorry the model is i9505

I have tried to install cyamogenmod 12.1 alone without gapps but had no success.
Something with your phone isn't right. Either you're missing a step in installing Cyanogenmod, or else your phone's internal storage spaces are not configured correctly. I would recommend starting from scratch, meaning installing the latest stock ROM from your carrier. Once you're satisfied that the S4 is working properly with the stock ROM, install TWRP and then install Cyanogenmod.
Already done that XD

I've installed the stock rom(lollipop), rooted my phone and used flashify(Google play app) to download and flash recovery(TWRP). Should I use a cyamogenmod nightly or a stable version ?
That's up to you. Development channel ROMs have a greater possibility of bugs that could stop you cold. Release channel ROMs have fewer bugs but generally lag behind the Development channel in terms of bug fixes and, occasionally, features.
I personally use Optimized CM12.1 from AntaresOne.
Could you recommend a custom rom specifically for s4 i9505 ?

So I download the rom zip I want in the root of internal storage, go into recovery and do factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik cache. I choose install and select zip I downloaded. What else did I miss ?
P.S Can you flash gapps later on cyamogenmod if it boots ?
Nothing from what I can see. I simply think that the Cyanogenmod ROM you downloaded didn't like your phone. I've had no issues with Optimized CM12.1, which is why I recommended it.
Re GApps: Yes.

Hi all,
I try to run a 6.0 based ROM, but when I first boot the phone after an install the phone reboots after half a minute. It looks like it boots normally, but after entering language and other settings (or also when skipping all) the phone reboots and the process starts over again.
I tried to install factory ROM via ADB, this doesn't give any errors while installing.
The same happens when I try another ROM like CM 13.
Only stable ROM for me is CM12, all other ROMS give reboot.
Any suggestions? Am I installing the wrong ROMs? I have a XT1562, run Squid kernel and latest TWRP.

You tried tesla rom. Also first just flash the rom and boot. Once it successfully boots up, go ahead with gapps.
Thanks for your answer, it indeed is caused by the Gapps package. When I install a ROM without Gapps, everything works fine. Trying to find a compatible Gapps package now.

Only 6.0 rom I found that works is DU with Banks Gapps, and yes, had to install them at the same time.
This rom is a battery drain and has gps fix issues for me, not sure if I stay with this rom or go back to CM 12

Nope, there's no such requirement. I have just flashed the rom first cause sometimes the Gapps cause stability issues.

Did you flash a GApps package? I believe Pure Nexus recommends Dynamic GApps... Check the PN thread for the download link.
Wipe
Flash ROM
Flash GApps
Flash vendor (although you shouldn't need to do this again)
Reboot system

You should search the Pure nexus thread. This is a known issue with the latest build and there are workarounds for it.
