Can't install GApps on Cm12.1?[Samsung Galaxy S3]

Hey guys, its me again. I've tried everything possible, even went out and bought an SD card because CWM doesn't let you install a zip file from internal memory/internal storage.

But now, I keep getting a "signature verification failed" error. Each time. I've tried at least 4 different zip files of gapps and nothing works.

Any suggestions? Would appreciate it if you could toss me an upvote so more people see this. Please?

Thanks! I'll update this thread when I find a solution.

I thought about flashing TWRP instead but honestly, I don't wanna go through that stress again(check my last thread here).

Oh man. I think I'll get a Moto X next and just stick with stock :P

EDIT: So the issue was solved. My advice is, just get TWRP instead of Clockwork Mod. It's really something, I haven't even fully explored it yet.

Flashing another recovery is no stress at all. Just go with TWRP and it should work out just fine.

Had issues with my s4 mini flashing gaaps. I actually swapped to team win recovery and it worked like a charm.

No worries, I was nervous about flashing a new recovery but was really pleased when gaaps flashed and it worked well.

I ran into this about a week ago. Drove me nuts.

I see you went with TWRP. I was on it, but with an older version. Once I updated it to the latest, everything was gravy.

Oh yeah, dude. 3 days of chaos. I change the ROM about once a year and honestly, each time its been... a completely new process. It might be child's play for some people but for a guy who puts aside just one weekend to mess with it? It's a BAD idea.

But I'm glad you got stuff sorted out. Glad I did too. :)
