You haven't flashed gapps properly or your gapps zip might be corrupted. Did you verify the md5sum of the zip before flashing?

i flashed using clockworkmod
Ok, I see that jokersax hasn't provided the md5sum for the gapps v3 package, so I'm providing it here - E859E11A84C6A47FD53635E1A4E6B538
Whenever an md5sum is provided, always check the downloaded file to see if it matches. If there is a mismatch, it means the file is corrupted and you'll have to redownload it. If you're on Windows, an easy way to check md5sum is to install this program - http://sourceforge.net/projects/cyohash/
After it's installed, right click on the downloaded file, got to CyoHash>md5. It will calculate the md5sum of the file, then check the verify field and paste the md5sum of the file which is posted by the maker.
If you're on Linux, you just have to open terminal in the folder where the file is located and type 'md5sum <filename>'
Now you redownload the file, check the md5sum with the one I've posted and then flash it. Before flashing make sure you wipe everything properly (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik-cache). First flash the ROM then flash Gapps.
Just for verification purposes, I see the same MD5 on the gapps3 I use.

Are you using standard CWM recovery installed from ROM Manager or are you using jokersax's modified version? You're supposed to use his modified version for ICS and JB ROMs.

Ok, do this. Extract both the ROM and gapps zips. Open them in side by side windows and copy the files in the gapps folder into the same respective folders in the ROM folder. Then in the ROM directory, where you can see META-INF, system, boot.img and other stuff, select all of those, use 7-zip to create a zip file or Right click>Send to>Compressed zip file. Be careful not to zip the folder with the ROM name. You need to go one level inside and zip the folders there. When you open the created zip file, it should show META-INF and other stuff. You said the ROM zip is flashing fine for you but the gapps one is not, so you might as well try putting the gapps files into the ROM zip once and for all.

Is anyone else experiencing difficulty with the Kitchen in this version? None of the kitchen tweaks will work, they download fine, and it goes thru the regular process of installing, however none of the programs seem to be functioning after installation. Just checking with anyone else before I try re flashing. I did do a full wipe before install.

xxki4
Siyah 2.3
Checkrom V4
The same thing is happening with me. It downloads the files just fine but when it tries to install them, it restarts to the wrong recovery (not clockworkmod). You can see the things fail installing because of the <!> that comes up in the recovery for a split second.
How can we get it working? The only way I've done it is to manually restart to the right recovery, and then manually install each zip.
Reinstall the kitchen app

Try installing them from recovery, you have to delete or rename the clockworkmod folder on the external sd card in order to install things directly from the kitchen.

salted_hash in clockworkmod folder
Found the culprit:
Q: I am not able to flash via Kitchen???
A: Delete Clockworkmod folder
Reason:
Previously to make the kitchen flash in older version of CWM5 we need to use a salte hash file that was placed in the Clockworkmod folder, Now with the updated CWM5 the actually problem with CWM5 was fixed by the respective creator!
So now what happens is that all you people have that salted hash file remaining in ur sd card that doesn't allow to flash stuff in the newer better CWM5, thats why when u delete the Folder it stats working coz the salted hash file gets deleted!
Now you may ask why delete the folder, when u can delete the file only!!
LOL answer is simle the Android os never recognizes the file there so when u open myfiles you never find the salted hash file inside the clockworkmod folder! You can use other apps and methods to delete the file but then there is the obvious questions from noobs!!
So Moral the problem is only with that one salted hash file and not ur backup.

So you can delete the entire folder, or just the "/sdcard/clockworkmd/.salted_hash" file. This worked for me.
Correct just the salted hash needs to go, there's no need to lose your backups. If you do delete the folder next time you do a nandroid it will only get recreated without the salted hash.

Hi,
I currently own a rooted SGS2,
I rooted it yesterday and it has Superuser and CMW.
I am trying to flash İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection
Ive downloaded and put it into phone/clockworkmod/backup folder (or whever it is supposed to be)
when i reboot my phone into CMW recovery mode and i choose to restoe the downloaded custom Rom, it says it cannot find system.img cache.img etc etc.. and then it says it has skipped the restore process.
when i checked the folder that i downloaded from İCS REMİX ROM V7.1 XXLP2 4.0.3 resurrection, all the files are in .tar format except the boot.img
anyone know how to solve this??
Some1 just had same problem, and I thinkbthe files are in tar format so if they are, learn more about flashing.

CWM backup
It is a CWM backup, you have to put the zip file you get after unrar in the folder sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. DO NOT UNZIP
I did that, and after I unrar-ed the downloaded file, I got a folder containing tar files , one md5 file and a boot.img
I also had some trouble restoring this ROM and what worked for me was to get a standard 4.0.3 ROM that you can install from zip from the sdcard and then only do the restore from the backup as they say in the intro of that thread.
Hope this helps

I currently do have a different 4.0.3 Rom installed from zip on my Galaxy s2,
so what you did was you did a restore from backup with ICS remix rom 7.1??
Yes I unzipped the File and copied the folder to the clockworkmod/backup folder. Then boot into cwm go backup and restore and restore from that date folder. Thanks to Wescrip and all the dev on that thread. They've done an awesome job so far.

I did exactly what you mentioned above, however I get error messages such as data.img not found cache.img not found,... then it says it's skpped it all and the restoration process becomes aborted...
is it because the files in the folder are in .tar format not .img?
That might be a problem with the Kernel or the CWM version you using. Not too sure.
What I can tell you is these are the steps I followed and they worked 100% for me.
1. For the first ROM i installed I downloaded this one - http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS2/roms/CM9ICS/update-cm-9-SGS2-01122012-signed.zip
(Thanks to max at galaxy S2root.com for the link)
2. I did a full wipe and factory reset from CWM and then installed this zip file from sdcard.
3. I booted my phone and let it start up. Then switch off again and go into CWM.
4. Then chose restore from backup and restore (as you will see CWM is now 5.5.x.x which might have a influence not sure)
5. Let it start up and bob's your uncle.
Edit : just fyi there seems to be a problem with the cwm that comes with that rom as it doesn't read the sdcard and I couldn't restore from it. So either you must flash a new cwm from odin when you want to restore to your old rom or install the first rom again so you have a working one and then restore.
I was asking if there's any way to convert a .zip ROM into a .tar ROM to flash with Odin..
The reason why I'm asking this is because I'm unable to flash any ROM via CWM recovery. I can only flash ROMs via Odin. Please see this for further information to my problem.
I'm particularly fond of the MIUI ROM, but there's no Odin version of that.. and CWM doesn't work for me

This is the installation instructions from adys miui rom which i usually use...not sure if you do this already but this usually works for me (wipe cache n devlik aswell)
1. Copy Zip to SDCard.k
2. Reboot to Recovery.
3. Wipe data/factory Reset.
4. Wipe /system from Mounts and Storage.
5. Install *your Rom* zip from SDCard.
6. Reboot (First boot may take time due to alot of init.d scripting)

I don't think direct conversion like that will ever work, just ask the related developer to generate a tar file for you, ask one of the most helpful devs like salesale(NeatRom creator) or the dev of RevoltRom.

Why?
You'd need to write a script that specifies what files get flashed to where & create your own flashable zip. Or you could swap the files from the tar into an existing CWM flashable I guess; not sure if this will work tho, the script may be specific to those particular files & might not work with different ones (I'm not au fait with these scripts, hence not being sure). I personally wouldn't try this tho, just flash the tar in Odin already.

That's easy (well can cause catastrophe if handled without proper knowledge) just use android kitchen.
Edit :Seriously though must be very careful, I used it to deodex JB firmware for my tab 7 plus (it doesn't have any proper developer support so had to do it manually) and I had a plethora of minor bug's popping up, insignificant but annoying nonetheless, quite frankly must be ready to spend hours for proper tweaking and understanding framework to build a good flashable zip, I didn't have the patience nor the time.

Hello,
For a while now I have not have acess to editors choice apps nor top apps.Here is the fix.
1. Place the zip file at this link into the Main storage of device.
2. Take a look into the ROM zip file you flashed earlier or you are using ( system/app) and delete phonesky.apk and marketupdater.apk or vending.apk
( please make sure you have a separate saved ROM zip file bfore editing. just a precaution).
3.place the phonesky.apk in the zip file above or at the link ( system/app to get, to phonesky.apk) into the ROM zip file you are using.
4.Boot into CWM and Reflash ROM zip file. reboot device.
5.Boot into CWM and flash the zip file in the link above.
6. You are done. you should see the image attached to the thread, that's the full gplay look.
Please enjoy.
