I upgraded CM 6 to CM6.1 RC2 and everything went smooth, except when you turn the nexus one on there is no market or gmail from google as if they some how are no longer part of the phone.
When I upgraded I did it from the phone itself so when i was ask if i wanted google add on I click yes and once it went to the booting process and the new CM6.1 RC2 was running I could not find the market or my contacts I could not sync my phone to the google server...why?
Hum.....read the thread and find the link to Google apps. You will then need to flash Google apps on top of your CM6 ROM.
I know sometimes the Google apks fail to download in ROM manager.
So should i download the CM 6.1 RC2 from the phone since i have the ROM manager and not get the google add on and download it from a PC, save it to da sd card n then do it manually?...please explain...thank you!

Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about. CM6.1 RC2 is still available for download. If you still have it loaded, grab the GAPPS package from the wiki (link below) and flash it over your current ROM (no need to wipe first) to get the Market, Gmail, etc... back.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Passion:Installing_CyanogenMod
I notice if you go to cyanogenmod website and click on downloads and then experimental and you see CM6.1 RC2 and if you click on it it says you can not download it anymore because it was reported as broken because not having Market or gmail.
On the same website if you go to forums and then see nexus one it will give you a link to download it from the links they have on that forum....so my question is which one is really true?
any ideas?
Considering I'm running CM6.1 RC2 with everything working perfectly, I'd say it's not a problem with the build....
Edit: I just checked the page - you can actually still download the zip. Someone just reported the file as broken, but that isn't a note from the devs (they have better grammar).
CM Roms haven't included Google apps in a long time.
Google asked that their programs weren't included because they are copyrighted material. Android being open, you can still download the GAPPS (Google Apps) pack and flash over CM's latest.
This has been the method as long as I've been on Android.
I got downloaded it from your xda website and it works!!!...now can someone tell me what is the mayor changes from CM6.0 and CM6.1 RC2? the only thing I can notice is the fm radio...anybody can tell me what also is good with this ROM?
By the way....I love cyanogenmod!!...much better than the stock one!...Keep up with the good work developers!
Anybody has some input as what is da mayor change between CM 6.0 and CM6.1 RC2?...i want to explore my new ROM....any ideas where should i start?

You could do a little Google'ing and find out...maybe a search for "CyanogenMod Changelog"?
Here, I did the hard work for you:
https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/froyo/CHANGELOG.mkdn
Ooo let me be another canadian to google that for you !
See the link below

Look at the change log. Lots of differences.
Guys,
Is it possible to get the stock Gingerbread Launcher for the CM7 Nightly to replace ADW?
I know about the download on the market, but I'm not a fan as the screen animation for it is a little slow. Basically looking for a deoxed apk I can push to the phone.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
in for an answer as well..
It's included in SalvageMod. If you download the rom you could grab the apk from system/app and push it to the phone
Just search the market for "Steven Lin"
He pulled out the latest launcher, keyboard, and live wallpaper recently and made them available for all. Even non-rooted 2.2 and 2.1 phones can use them.
Edit: didn't read the whole OP. Saw the title and jumped to it. My bad.

Hey Guys,
I really like the option to turn the SMS MMS app into black in cyanogen so i replaced my oxygen app with the one from cyan7. But is there a way to get a black GMail app? Or did i just not find that option?
Thx a lot!!!

Would be nice if someone could make a 2.3 based black one. The text is black so you would have to edit the xml files to make the text white or light grey.
Ive tried this before on other apps, but unfortunately it is beyond me.

I get a not installed error.
UPDATE: I tried uninstalling Gmail and installing mikep99's apk and it still failed. I did get the droidforums version to install.

On a slightly related note, I've installed the black Mms.apk from the C7 via adb but it keeps reverting to the regular one on reboots. Any ideas?
EDIT: I pushed via adb and set the permissions and it's all good.
Thanks for your work! Black GMail would be awesomesauce! However I've tried to install it and I get "not installed" error. I'm using Redux 1.0 ROM. I didn't uninstall original GMail app first because uninstall button isn't enabled and it can't be pressed. I'm sure this is what causes error, any idea how get rid of GMail?
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Use ADB if you're not S-OFF to remove Gmail.apk from /system/app then push the black one I posted to /system/app.
Make sure the permissions are the same as the other apps in that location.
Boot into recovery, wipe dalvik cache and reboot.
If you're S-OFF you can do the above through root explorer or similar...
Should be ok.

Brilliant thanks for that. Its not quite black, but the text is white, so possibliy I can edit the grey to black if it is controlled by .png files. It is version 2.3 too, which is the latest version that works for me.

Thanks. Its not the same as yours is 2.3.2, which doesnt work for me unfortunately. The other is 2.3.
Hi,
can I use this apk on my Desire rooted and without any rom??
I run CM 7 RC (Honeybred theme) and as much dark as possible (although never only black). I try to get working as much as possible from the brilliant dark mods in here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/blacked-out/
There's updated GMail apks available there too.

You need a ROM to run your phone and this apk. What are you trying to do?
here its a flashebal ZIP
you can flash this , i did it over miui , cm7 , sens roms , and it's working
it's not my work , so don't tank me
and also you can extract the apk , replace the gmail app it in the SYS/APP folder
and flash you rom , it will work also

Yep and unlike 2.3.2, it actually works. I liked the 2.3 one I was using but would have preferred grey for unread email and black for read email not the other way around.
Thanks, this will help make Android more unified.
*WARNING* The leaked Gingerbread Radio, which is required for this rom, has been known to brick some Thunderbolts. Be sure you're aware of the risks of flashing this software by visiting this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1096104 *WARNING*
*NOTE* There is a new GB radio out now at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1115714 *NOTE*
Standard disclaimer:
While no Custom Rom can ever claim to be completely safe, and the very act of rooting your phone voids your warranty, I do my best to make sure that any Rom I release is fully tested. That said, if something does go wrong I am not responsible for loss of time/money/data/sanity/limbs/life that results directly or indirectly from the use of this Rom. Please enjoy responsibly.
This requires the leaked Gingerbread radio and a Gingerbread kernel, which can be found here:
Radio: http://www.multiupload.com/HU471CMQI0 (thanks Adrynalyn) Download this and rename it to PG05IMG.zip and put it on the root of your sdcard, then reboot your phone to the bootloader and apply it.
Kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1086518 (Thanks Imoseyon) Download your choice of kernel from the SENSE GB section.
First I'd like to say thanks to Adrynalyn, ThatDudeButch and Trident for making most of the following patches easily available, and a huge thanks to JCase (TeamANDIRC) for the leak:
Features:
Wake on Volume (thanks TeamBAMF)
Netflix Support (thanks rmk)
Removed recent apps from pulldown (thanks rbox)
Power options (thanks ThatDudeButch)
AOSP Lockscreen
Deodexed, Rooted, Mostly stock framework.
Very clean Rom (149MB base vs ~300MB for most others)
This is a stock experience rom, with all the bloat (and most of the stock apps) removed. If you haven't used Blackhole before the idea is to start with an almost blank slate (except for the stuff that's too intertwined to remove, or provides basic functionality) and add only the things that you want.
What apps I left in are stock (Browser, Gmail, Calendar, Phone, etc.) plus a few "essentials" (Superuser and Rom Manager).
Updates will begin being available in Rom Manager on Wednesday following the public release of the Rom, but in the meantime if you have apps you need added please let me know and I'll make an update.zip for you that will add whatever you need. Enjoy! And be glad that unlike some developers I didn't have the urge to put "Ginger" in the Rom name, or else you'd have ended up with "BlackGinger" or "GingerHole" neither of which is very appealing...
Download:
Available via Rom Manager, so you can choose your options while downloading.
Screenies ?
Any chance of AOSP contacts/dialer, MMS, gallery, and browser? Going to give this a go when I get home tonight. Heck, might even flash it at work.
EDIT: Nevermind....just saw that almost all of this is already included. Awesome work! I'm downloading now and going to try it out.
IRS421: I'll post some up later the afternoon/evening
litso: Dialer/contacts and Browser are a work in progress. When I find/make one that works I'll add it to the options.
sorry if i missed the screen shot links...
please make them more blatant?
+1 for AOSP Contacts, please

Seeing as he links to the new radio in the OP I'm guessing it's probably ok. Still subject to the same issues people are experiencing on other ROMs though.
Thanks for the reply litso, I didn't have time to get on last night. Yes, both leaked radio's work the same with Blackhole as with any other GB leak Rom. I'm uploading some screenshots now as well, don't expect too much tho, it's a vanilla theme. For the screenshots I'm running Launcherpro.
I vote ya call it BlackGingerHole
Getting FCs from Google Music (the new one).
I chose to have it installed with the ROM, but this morning when I went to play a track, I got an FC. I rebooted, still FC. I ".bak'd" the .apk from /system/app and installed the Market version. Now I'm getting periodic FCs on the music process, and instant FC if I try to open the app.
Sync Music was added to my Google Account settings.
Ideas?

Thanks for the report, I'll see what's up.
Also I've got my screenshots sorted, they're up in the OP. Like I said, nothing special about how it looks....
I installed it also after a clean wipe and used sense launcher and now my launcher looks ****ed up. Rebooted to see if that would fix but no luck

I've duplicated the sense issue, though i'm not sure what the issue is at the moment. I've removed it from the list of options until I get it fixed. Thank you for the report.
So far i've been unable to duplicate the issue with google music, could you please provide me with a logcat of the crash? Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
I've tried flashing several boot animations from ROM Manger, but I always end up with the AOSP Android animation. Any idea's why this might happen?
Sure the battery have percentages in the status bar icon?
also, its there a way to get r rid of the quick settings on the dropdown and have the power mod toggles?

I'll give it a whirl. Do you have the gmusic online service? I do, just wondering if that might be why you're not getting an FC.

hi guys - i can't find facebook on teh market - any ideas?
Unfortunately Facebook doesn't work on Android 3.2 yet, you can download an APK and manually install it, but you will find it mega buggy
great! Thought I was going bonkers!
I restored Facebook from my Corvus5 Titanium backup onto Vegacomb 3.2 and haven't had a problem yet, but I haven't pushed it.
Have you tried friendcaster tab or friendme?
