Having another issue however not sure if this is related to gapps,(using 7/26 BTW)
I'm getting a notification saying that I can't login to Google servers and asks if I want to retry. But when I do the error keeps coming uphttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/12/09/20/ypuqu7yg.jpg

Google Servers are down that are related to Google Now.

No, I only flashed the monthly. I wanted to ask before jumping gun to another ROM but I will give that one a try. The ROM you are referring to, is that cm10?

Thank you
Is the whole point of the daily updates is to fix bugs? On 09/18 right now and so far so good. It seems mundane to have to update everyday unless there is a reason I'm missing..

I haven't figured out this back up script built into Euroskanks rom. When you flash the update you just flash it dirty right? My understanding is that it automatically backs everything up (gapps) wipes the system for you and what not. Anybody here just dirty flashing the nightlies?

If you're just updating to a new nightly, a dirty flash consists of:
Wiping Cache
Wiping dalvik
System
Install ROM
Install GApps
Reboot.
So you WILL need to install gapps everytime. You lose no data when you dirty flash.
I remember a conversation at Rootzwiki that all you needed to do was flash the update, that the built in scripts took care of gapps and system wipes. I just did this with today's update and I can confirm that it's true. Gapps are all there without having to flash them.

Its a matter of how much instability you are willing to put up with and how soon. If you do a dirty flash (cache/dalvik/system wiped) and flash the ROM and gapps, you are always gambling with instability, however, often you can get away with it for a number of nightly builds, and perhaps even longer, before any serious issues crop up.
The more wiping steps you eliminate (to save, what, 30 seconds or less from your whole procedure?) the increased chance of ending up with an unstable driver, and more likely you'll need to do a clean flash even sooner to negate them. Doesn't matter what install scripts the ROM claims to have implemented, and I'm not downtalking and ROM devs, but this is the way it is.

I dig what your saying, for me personally it gets to be a drag putting everything back the way it was that I'm now just sticking to stock everything, kernel, launcher, etc. (except keyboard, SwiftKey rocks) and this rom is awesome in those regards. Probably the best "as is" rom out there, no mods or tweaks needed. So you can see how inviting it sounds to just flash an update with no wiping necessary, when I see instability I'll know why, thanks!

Just want to put this out here--I went from a stock locked device running ICS to an unlocked rooted device running AOKP, fully restored and setup, in 34 minutes. IMO, the time complaints can be a bit overblown .
I'm sure anyone mentioning time is doing a clean wipe and manually reinstalling all apps and settings. I haven't had a good experience with Titanium Backup, the two times I used it. Even though I payed for the Pro key, I manually reinstall all my apps.
I've clean wiped at least 15 times in the last 2 months trying all the ROMs out there.
I like that the Market remembers every app that I've installed now, however scrolling through apps I don't use anymore is tedious too.

You seem to misunderstand though... Doing a dirty flash the way I stated does not cause you to lose anything. There is no reinstalling or setting up to do, all your stuff will still be there. That's why I specifically said this will add about 30 seconds to the whole process, lol. Just wipe the caches and system, flash the ROM and gapps, and reboot. Everything will be as you left it, since you didn't wipe the data partition.
