anyone that knows a easy way to put google apps on the new cyanogenmod update please help
mytouch 3g white
android 1.6 rooted
There are 3 ways that I know of
1) Flash a theme onto your rom and hope that the theme includes the google apps.
2) Follow this link and read this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=565155
And the third one, I can't find the link to it, but there's a guy on the Dream development forums that puts the google apps on the latest cyan for you to flash.
true well find the link lol i cant even get myfaves back on cm 4.0.4 i downgreaded till i find the way to do it. ive done the myfaves mount many of times b4 but now it wont effing work. any ideas why?
Okay well I found the link, but it seems the person that posted the rom with the apps has pulled it, your gonna have to use one of the first 2 methods i showed you.
Just curious, but what Google Apps are missing after Cyanogen 4.2.3.1? I've flashed my MT3G so many times over the last couple of months that I can't tell what's missing. I'm running Cyanogen now.
all the google apps are missing form the new cm update. google sent cm a c&d so he cant use google apps anymore
I can only recall 2 but they may be the only ones and they are Google maps and android market. Kush i recommend you follow that link and just do what the guide says to do and it'll work, i did that and it worked just fine.

I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but whenever I install CM I have both Android Market and Google Maps. I completely wipe and re-format my SD card when applying any ROM. Does the HTC Rooted Base .zip file contain Market and Maps because I promise those two apps are there after applying CM 4.2.3.1?

If you follow the full directions for flashing Cyanogen 4.2.3.1, you'll have all of the Google apps (the full Google Experience, even). I can attest to this, having done this exact install myself last week (from stock Donut, fresh out of box, 2 hours after the nice lady at the T-Mobile store handed it to me).
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
That guide also includes rooting your phone from stock donut 1.6, which you probably don't need as you've stated that you've flashed cyanogen's mod at least once. But note that it's a multi-step process the first time after version 4.1.99 (or so): do a full wipe, install the rooted 1.6 base, then WITHOUT REBOOTING, install cyanogenmod 4.2.3.1. Then you can reboot, and you should be golden.

Like it says on that wiki page, in the section labeled "File Download", "Due to recent events, CyanogenMod can no longer distribute Google specific apps with his ROMS. The way around this is to download and install the legal Google apps and then install CyanogenMod on top of those apps. The good news is that it works, the bad news is that it requires an extra step or two in the install process. Most people will need only two files."
Then in step 1, there's a link to a (mostly) stock 1.6 ROM image, the file "HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip". It contains a stock 1.6 installation, including the Google apps. This is the file that you want when the instructions say "download and install the legal Google apps". If you follow ALL of the instructions, exactly as they're written, you'll get what you want...

Sweet deal now that I Know that it HAS to be
That zip of 1.6
Hello.
I have followed EXACTLY the instructions given in the link (and in the wiki).
I totally have the apps. But the problem is that if I try to download an application from android Market it is blocked.
For example :
If I try to donwload facebook for android, I go on the android Market, search facebook, click on install.
And then there is a waiting bar on top telling me : download is about to begin.
But it never begins...
Anybody has this problem ?
Is it because I didn't format my SD card ?...

Hi all
I have been using CyanogenMod roms for a while now and everything has worked great. Yesterday I loaded an eclair 2.0 rom I found somewhere, did`nt work well at all, so went back to CyanogenMod rom however after loading the rom when it boots up for the first time it no longer goes through setup or askes for my google username and password, there is no market application showing or google mail. I have tried several of CyanogenMod roms, same on all of them I am wiping before loading new roms. Its not the roms as they have all worked well before. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Have you redownloaded signed_dream_devphone_userbug-ota-14721.zip ? I would flash that then DONT reboot then flash cyanogen's mod and then reboot. Here is the wiki you can look at its very informative http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod .
thanks for the reply, can`t seem to find a download for signed_dream_devphone_userbug-ota-14721.zip, can u point me in the right direction.
Thanks
Read the wiki, it's right there, or use google.
Maybe I am just bieng a little silly here but the links don`t seem to be working on the htc site, is there anywhere else they are available.
Thanks

Linking to HTC was part of Cyanogen's intention because you have to accept HTC's license agreement to use the software, making it the legal workaround that CyanogenMOD is
I did go to HTC site also and the only working downloads right now are the fastboot downloads. Could this be a bad thing another hurdle to cross in Cyanogen's development. A fluke, or maybe we'll be seeing a 2.0 ADP image???? I'm on pins & needles!
Found a work around to get the downloads needed,PM me if you need it.
Thanks

I'm having the same issue here. I tried to use the market and gmail app and neither are working for me. I'm quite sure that I installed each of the files in the right order, as I was following the exact instructions. But it's still not working right. I was on JF 1.5 and went to the newest CyanoMod update since JF is no longer updating his custom rom. Would it be best to go back to an earlier CM rom? Or is there a fix in the works?
by the way, I'm using
HTC_ADP_1.6_DRC83_rooted_base.zip
and
update-cm-4.2.5-signed.zip
(bumping to see if anyone might actually have a solution)
I have pretty much the same problem...
a few days ago my phone started spazzing after installing Cyanogen's 4.2.11 and there was nothing i could do except formatting my sd card and a factory reset... eventually, i got my phone back to work, but it only came with all of the default apps except for the Android Market.
So then i tried to install the HTC recovery image along with cyanogen 4.2.11.1 to see if that would fix my problem, but my market app is STILL missing. I really need my market app back -____- even though cyanogen's rom comes with slideme mobentoo marketplace, the app force closes whenever i try to open it.
can anyone help?
I am getting this goofy "Download Unsuccessful" message in my notifications tray every hour or so. I know I am not intentionally downloading anything. It drives me nuts though. Has anyone else seen this or figured out how to make it stop if you have?
Phone is rooted and I am running MoDaCo 1.1
Thank in advanced.
On a personal note, everytime I come to ask a question I get carried away on other posts and always forget to post my own questions! LOL!
I would guess it's one of two things-
There is an app in the market that is trying to download but is failing.
or
It's trying to push the 1.56 update to you but it's failing (or did you apply it already?)
Flipz, I need you in the office next to mine so I can constantly ask questions.
Well, I am running MoDaCo 1.1, which I don't think has the update packaged with it, but! I checked for Firmware updates and nothing is available.
Now as far as something downloading from the market, would it continue to retry or something if it failed?? Seems like everything I have wanted to download has worked and is installed.
Would there be a way to "Clear the queue?" if there was something that keeps trying???
you can go to marketplace/my downloads. if anything is pending it should let you know there.
otherwise i would guess its in the browser. browser/menu/more/downloads
this happened to me yesterday... well not exactly this but i started downloading an app from the market then did a nandroid restore real quick and as soon as it booted everything was messed up after that.

Market place has everything listed as installed or update available.
Browser download history is empty.
Just remembered I had Dolphin Browser installed, there was a download from 11/26 in there that had failed. I think I tried to download an exe without Crutch. We'll see if it was continuing to try and get this file.
Well guys, again thanks for the help. It seems that Dolphon Browser had a failed download being held hostage. Manually going in and clearing it out looks like it has been stoped. Wonder why it doesn't do this on its own after it warns you of its failure. Maybe I'll try and figure out who writes Dolphin and ask them.
Hi all,
I just had a little problem with my CW recovery not finding /cache/update.zip and not working properly. Doing some searching I came up with warnings about people getting bricked by using ROM Manager. Some are recommending not using RM
I also read a post that I did not understand saying that ROM Manager installs "fake" versions of CW recovery.
I reflashed CW in ROM Manager to fix the problem I had. I see I have an update.zip on the root of my sd card. I'm wondering if this is necessary for my system now and I'm hesitant to delete it.
I'm more afraid of getting bricked!
BTW- hope I'm posting in the right forum!
I also see that i cannot delete ROM Manager. Even Titanium can't delete it. Gives error saying it cannot find apk. I know it can be deleted manually.
So what's the verdict here?
ROMmanager has been broken on my incredible too ever since the new string of updates. You can install everything manually after it gives you the error. it is a pain in the butt, but i like to flash everything manually anyways... i suggest getting a file manager like ASTRO and after downloading from rom manager, moving the files from Clockwork/Downloads to your root, then going into recovery using quickboot... this has given me he best results when i do not have my pooter present, and i want to mess around. there are many others that are having a problem with RM on their dinc's as well. (i am guessing you are on a Dinc by your sig and problem)
you are not alone. Deleting the update.zip wont hurt. neither will keeping it until you need to install another updae.zip. wish i could help fix it, but manual install is he best i have found. i think you can dig through your SD in CWM also without ASTRO...
Honestly, most issues are user error, I have never had an issue with rom manager, both on my droid and incredible.
the updae.zip can be removed also.
and rom manager can't brick your phone, but installing bad files or roms with it can.

Well I didn't do anything except hit "backup current rom" in RM. Never had a recovery problem before that and I have used recovery a lot.

ROM Manager can't brick your phone. Unrevoked delivers a permanent recovery mechanism, while updates comes as fakeflashes, which are completely temporary.
Koush! The man himself. I'm honored. No intention of ragging on your good work. I had read a post yesterday regarding what you are are saying now. ROM manager can't mess with the recovery flashed with unrevoked.
I did have that weird problem. Used RM to initiate a rom backup. Then wanted install some extra. Was getting error message in recovery "can't find /cache/update.zip . Also was getting what I think was the old recovery screen with the triangle and exclamation point. Get remember the sequence of what happened when. Finally I used RM to re-flash the clockwork mod and that fixed it.
Then read some scary "brick" posts regarding RM. Made me leery.
Anyway, thanks for checking in on my post. I am now going directly to purchase the premium version of Rom Manager so I can have more fun while sitting around at work!
Best..........mm
Hi
I am new to Andriod, I just bought a Atrix from someone which came with the cyanogenmod 7. I was able to install Google market, however I am not sure how to restore to stock, atleast for now I want to restore to stock get more comfortable with it and then install custom rom
I downloaded the drivers off motorolla, when I plug-in into usb it is not reconized. I also downloaded the roms posted on the motorolla website and tried installing the different version ( gingerbread and froyo) but I got error code 7.
If anyone can explain me in lament terms what would be needed to be done to restore to factory, I would greatly appreciate. I do not teether or need hot-spot for now, so will do custom little later..Thanks
Also I checked, there were no backup, so can restore off backup.
Install ROM Manager from Market, flash CWM with it. Then download a fruitcake from XDA dev section to your phone. Finally open ROM Manager and install it, be sure to check both wipes when you get prompted to do so by ROM Manager
Easiest way
would be to install a similar ROM such as Alien 4 without the theme. It looks and works almost exactly the same way as the stock ROM but with added goodies such as Tethering (all you have to do is turn it on to make it work) and the Droid 3 camera app which allows you to record video in 1080p. Just download the zip file into the memory card and flash it and you should be good. Let me know if you need assistance
Just a sidenote, you asked for "stock Android"... CM7 is as close as you are going to come (at this moment) to what we call "vanilla" or even "stock" ANDROID. I understand you want stock MOTOBLUR, but that is far from stock Android.. I thought I would point that out to you jic.
Sorry for the confusion for stock android I mean motoblur gingerbread. I meant the one which ships with the phone and since Motorola came out with gingerbread update I would like to have that installed.
Someone I was talking to today said if you root you device and try going back, device will brick, is there risk involved in this process?

you're being misinformed, rooting your device poses no risk. all rooting does is give your device root access to system files.
however, if you do the Gingerbread OTA update through Motorola, you're going to end up stuck on Gingerbread. if you attempt to RSD flash a .sbf file to downgrade, you will break your device.
however, you can install a froyo fruit cake to downgrade to Froyo if you don't like Gingerbread.
just look at the top of this forum and read the noob thread, it has all the information you need. after reading it, read it again. and after that, go into the development forum and read all of the stickies there. after that, go and read the noob thread again and then you should have all your questions answered.
