Hey All,
First I want to apologize if this isn't the place for this thread or if this has been brought up before.
Now onto what I came here for. I have a myTouch 3G phone (the one without the jack) and I have rooted my phone a couple of months ago. The rooting process went fine and currently I'm running the CyanongenMod 4.2.15.1 rom on my phone. It's running fine as it should be. Now my dilemma is when I tried to update to CM 5.0.7 or 5.0.8. At first when I flashed the rom, I thought everything was fine during the setup process but then when it came to using any Google apps, none of them seem to work with the exception of GTalk and Google Maps. I've tried the troubleshooting guide where it says to do the fix_permissions but that didn't work at all. After about 3 days of trial and error, I finally admitted defeat and flashed back to CM 4.2.15.1. I also came to the conclusion that my phone will only take 1.5 & 1.6 roms whereas any roms 2.0 and above will not work correctly. I even tried to flash CM 6.0 RC1 and it got stuck at the green boot screen.
My question is there something wrong with my phone or am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else ran into this problem? Please let me know because I would love to have the 2.0 and above roms on my phone.
Thanks in advance
Did you do a full wipe and then upgrade?
Yes I did a complete wipe, even did the command that you do in fastboot
u gotta install the google pack i think....for that u will find it in cyanogen forums
If you mean by installing the gapps after flashing the rom, I've done that already. Also I've even reflashed the gapps again just to make sure and I also tried the fix_permissions and that didn't work either.
I also saw that the browser was acting funny too (not sure if that's part of gapps)

Hello,
In your sign, you're using an old rom with the old method of app2sd (on /system/sdcard/), newer rom uses /sd-ext/ but 1.6.2 recovery is not compatible with the new method.
Not sure but try to update your recovery with 1.7.0.
Good luck, Scargoll.
scargoll, i failed to mention that I'm already using Amon Ra's 1.7G recovery image. I need to update my sig (my bad). also as i stated before, i tried upgrading to CM 5.0.8 and running into issues, that's why i'm still running CM 4.2.15.1
Yup. Wrong section. I'll move to General when I get back home.

jeff, if i'm correct the FRF91 Google Addon is for the CM 6.0 RC1 rom and i don't have a MyTouch 3G 1.2 32A phone to be using the EBI1 port.
Well, since you say so, your phone is just jacked.
Have you tried reflashing the whole ROM and GAPPS again? See if a different version of cyanogenmod works for you.

appledroid, i've tried relashing both CM 5.0.7 and CM 5.0.8 roms gapps. the roms flashes fine but when it comes to using the gapps (with the exception of GTalk & Maps), they either close without a warning or i get a app loop (GMail does that most before it finally closes without warning)
sounds to like your running out of space on a partition while flashing. try fireat's mtd partition hack and see if it works for u.
flash the 1.1 zip
flash cm6
flash gapps
flash 1.2 zip
and then reboot

hey chris,
running out of space on a partition - are you talking about the space on the phone or on the SD Card? if it's the SD Card, not sure how that's possible when I have 4GB card (also it's not partitioned as of now but before I did have it partitioned)
if i follow this route, do i need to flash CM 6 or can I flash CM 5.0.8?
also where can i find the 1.1 and 1.2 zip files?
in any case, i'll try both to see what's up
um does anyone know what chris is talking about?
c'mon....anyone?
hey im not to sure why u cant switch to the latest cm roms. cause mine is doing fine on every updates.
i use clockworkmod recovery
try redownloading the rom. while downloading, watch ur downloading progress bar, makesure u have good internet connection. do not let the data connection change speed( switching from 3g to e or g) do not let phone switch from portrait to landscape.
if any of the above does happen you will have to cancel current download then redownload.
try to download cm6 rc3 - its 2.2 and it have lots of goodies. gapps are also preinstall
well i had this problem too... i was stuck on green screen... setup abort... gapps was acting up... so i did the above and everything is fine...
i hope this works for
rooted mt3g 32b cm6-rc3 htcClay 1.3
forgot to mention... since u have this problem, i recommend a full wipe... i dont kno if it is ok to flash without wipe from cm4 to cm5 or 6... flashing rom over another rom is wat i normally do... cause i hate reinstalling apps

Ok I been reading alot about people having a problem getting gapps on there phone. I tried all I read none work. Here is what I'm working with. Rooted using unrevoked, I downloaded Tom manager and used it to get cyangenomod 6 r2. I had to download with out that Google app. Checked because it wouldn't load with it. I have downloaded the gapps file from some diffrent places. I see the files when I do clockwork recovery boot. When I apply it I can get. All the way to the screen with the android it says touch to begin but when u touch it just lights up and.nothing happens. If I back up and reflash the rom with the Google app checked it will get to thescreen where it has the blue Droid says cyangenmod with the circle spinning around and it will never load. But with no gapps it loads fine. Please help this is use less with no market.
Did you wipe data before installing the ROM?

I don't understand...it's simple. Download the gapps package to your phone, move it to the root of your sdcard (i.e. /sdcard) then boot into clockwork, install zip from flash card, choose zip, choose the gapps package and voila.
http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
The exact steps to follow:
1. Root with unrevoked.
2. Wipe data/factory reset
3. Install CM6.1 RC2
4. Install gapps
5. Reboot device and everything should work nicely.

It might be worth his while to boot into the ROM after flashing it, then boot back to clockwork and flash the gapps package.
This is what. II see the zip file and u click it and it say installed syccesfully Bujumbura when u reboot it never loads to my home screen.

dujumbura? What are the procedures you are following to flash the package? Are you using ROM manager? Do you have your phone plugged into USB while booting into clockwork? gotta be a little more specific my friend.

Sorry that word was a typo lol. I used rom manager to get the rom. I download the gapps to my SD card using the browser on my phone.
I go into clockwork to install the gapps and reload cygeno. Is this correct way?it works fine all but Google apps.

Are you using ROM manager to install gapps? If you are, don't. Just use clockwork. I understand it's the long way, and its somewhat of a pain compared to using ROM manager...but i've read about a lot of people having issues with doing things like this via ROM manager...
Ok here is what I just did. I downloaded the above link. I turned my phone off booted into clockwork. Found the above file. Installed it. Rebooted. It loaded. Past the cygeno screen where it then asked me if I wanted to back up with Google I checked no. Then hit continue. It goes to a screen says welcome to libirty. Touch the android to start. A little hand is touching. II do this and nothing happens. I downloaded with my phone browsers.

Should I just start fresh and do all his from a PC from the start. What do I do just format my memory card an restore from the very first restore?
Ok I'm posting to let any one know that may have this problem. I fixed this easy. I just downloaded the gapps for my phone straight from my phone browser except I got the tiny one instead. Clockwork, zip file, install the zip,reboot,bam all Google apps there. For some reason the tiny was the right one for my phone.

Okay brief background:
Originally stock VFAU supplied Legend, updated to the stock Froyo. Rooted by (roughly) following the steps outlined in the How to root HBoot 1.01 thread and am now happily able to flash roms using ClockworkMod 3.0.0.6 "fake flash" update.zip
Was keen to try out CM7RC2 on this phone so I have downloaded the update and Gapps .zips from the Cyanogenmod wiki page.
Tried multiple times now to flash the CM7 update and the relevent Gapps, always formatting user data / cache / dalvik before hand. After the process, I am always able to boot into CM7 on the device, but it appears the Gapps update hasn't been applied properly / at all. For example - on initial boot, I don't get the google android setup wizard, so no way to link the phone to my gmail account. Gmail app isn't installed, and when I try to launch Market it just goes to a white screen for a second, and then back to the launcher.
I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that the phone is on HBOOT 1.01, and S-ON? or is there another explaination? eg, a specific kernel, or radio that I should be flashing before I try to flash CM7 (nothing is mentioned in the install guide over at CM wiki).
Thanks in advance.
are you shure ou downloaded the right gapps

Hey mate, thanks for the quick reply! Just to clarify - are you sure this is the right version of Gapps for CM7 on the Legend?? Looking here under the "Google Apps Version" section it appears that the correct version for all devices running CM7 should be Gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and that gapps-mdpi is for CM6??
I tried your suggestion nontheless, and with that version of Gapps flashed - I'm now getting a boot-loop of the cyanogen boot animation
I'm on HBOOT 1.01 (Vodafone Legend) and CM7 was the first I tried, though it was back around the nightly build 31. I didn't have any issues and CM7 started up straight away. I realised I was missing all the Google stuff so did a separate flash, maybe you could try this. I'm yet to try the RC version hopefully no issues here...

I have tried flashing the gapps package as a separate flash (after the intial flash to CM7, booting into CM7, then reboot into recovery to flash Gapps), and the result has been the same as when I flash them together.
I had wondered about trying a nightly, but being new to CM roms please forgive my next question. To flash a nightly, do I first have to flash CM7 RC2, then flash the nightly, or can you just flash the nightly by itself, then Gapps over the top??
I'm definitely willing to give it a try at this stage.
Flashing the nightly won't need a prior RC2 flash, its a self contained package so you shouldn't have any problems. Hopefully the Gapps flash works this time.

Thats cool mate - made me recheck myself anyway
I just installed CM7 stable using eyeballer's guide but can't get gapps to work. When I installed everything from the bootable CWM it all seemed to work fine. CM7, gapps, the OC kernel, and CWM all said they installed correctly in CWM. I booted into CM7 just fine and it seems that everything is working, except there aren't any gapps. I tried reinstalling them several times with no luck. I saw in another thread that "fixing permissions" in CWM worked for someone, but it didn't for me. I did some more searching but didn't find anything else that seemed to help in my situation. I'm sure I missed something in my search, but it's late and I need to get to bed.
Any ideas? Sorry I couldn't find the answer on my own.
Thanks!

Did you actually look to see if they are there in /system/app? Did you try reinstalling them, maybe gapps didn't actually install?
connect to wifi after flashing gaaps
I never checked the systzem/apps folder. I just assumed they'd be in the launchers app tray that shows all your apps. Each time I installed gapps in CWR it looked like it installed just fine. There was never an error message. Ill check that directory when I get home.
I've been connected to wifi since I installed CM7 so I wouldn't think that was the problem. Should I disconnect wifi, reinstall gapps through CWR, boot into CM7, turn on wifi, and gapps should show up?
Thanks guys!!!!

Honestly I know it sounds weird but its been confirmed from several people that if after flashing GAAPS you dont see the market icon, then connect to wifi. I can also confirm that it was hidden for me after flashing. Then wifi connect, then then icon shows up on the home screen....weird.

yeah it wont show up right away after first installing - after you activate a WiFi connection then market shows up. click on market and it will ask you if you want to download the rest of the apps

Gapps Still Not Working
I have installed CM7 and Gapps on a Samsung Fascinate via this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116424
After it didn't work the first time, I started digging for a solution. Following the advise in this current thread I reinstalled Gapps, booted up and started WiFi. Still no market icon on the home page. So I disabled WiFi, rebooted for good measure, and re-enabled WiFi. Still no market icon.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
I figured out the issue! This is VERY IMPORTANT and I couldn't really find it spelled out anywhere. You cannot boot into recovery mode via the 3 finger method when installing the Gapps. You must use the menu within Cyanogen (reboot -> recovery) to get into recovery mode. Then everything works as expected.
Had same problem with ZTE v9 tablet, had to add my Google account in settings -> accounts & sync while having a decent data connection (wifi / good 3g) and then market app and associated apps installed automatically.
hey there.
i flashed cm7 on my sgs2. and with it the latest version of gapps. i had the market from the beginning. but no other google apps. i tried everything you posted here. but it did not work.
since i had access to the market i now installed maps (and along with it latitude and navigation). but there is no gmail-app on the market. so i do not have that. any other idea to get it?

I have this exact same problem. I have just installed CM7 on my samsung galaxy pop/mini. I installed the gapps zip file through CWM. Installation finished just fine without any errors. Reboot done. No market icon or any other gapp icon shows up on the homescreen on the app drawer. So I started wifi. Connected. Still no icon. So I installed just the market apk from the internet. The apk installed fine but it asks me to add an account. So I click on yes and it takes me back to home screen. I went to Settings>Accounts and Sync. Clicked on Add account but it doesn't give me an option to select the type of a/c(Eg. Google, FB, Twitter, Etc.). The wizard that I get says Add an Exchange a/c. It just simply doesn't allow me to add a google a/c. Please help guys.
Note: I never got any option to sign in with my google a/c at first boot..
I'm also having problems with installing gapps downloaded at http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Gapps#Google_Apps.
I try to reboot to recovery, but the blue text just says that "gapps was not found".
Is there a specific place that the gapps zip file needs to be saved? I downloaded it via the Nook and it got saved to the sdcard's "download" folder. I've read that I need to save it under the "boot" partition... how do I do that? Can I do this through the terminal emulator?
Thanks!

Yes... in T.E.:
mkdir /sdcard/boot
mount /dev/block/mmcbkl1p1 /sdcard/temp
cp /sdcard/download/GAPPS FILE.zip /sdcard/boot
For some reason "mount" was a not a valid command line operation... so I got off my lazy ass and moved the file over to the boot partition using a linux box that I had. Problem solved!
A couple of tips if you are installing the gapps. zip through CWR yet still find no google apis upon booting up.
1) wipe data and partition in CWR like usual, but also wipe DAVLIK cache before installing encore and gapps zip. you will find the wipe DAVLIK option in the advanced menu in CWR. I know that this step is omitted in many of the how-to's, because it is not always necessary. If you are having trouble with installed gapps not showing up, try this.
2) Pay attention to the version number of CWR! When I wrote the clockwork image to my SD card, I must have followed an old link. I didn't notice until much later that the clockwork that booted off mt SD card was 3.005. this caused major issues once I flashed a current version of CWR through the ROM manager (3.023). I encountered missing md5 sums in my back ups, and would get error messages "cannot mount system". Additionally, when I would attempt to reflash my zips, the google apis would not appear, and the only way to get them was to reinstall them through titanium backup.
I believe this wad because I wad using two incompatible versions of CWR. if I rebooted to recovery through the ROM Manager instead of simply loading from the SD card, I would be in the current version, where I wiped the data and partition like usual, wiped the DAVLIK to be sure, and then boom, the setup for google loaded upon boot.
Slip the registration process until you are connected to wifi. that is why some of the above users did not see the market until they connected to a network.
Hope this helps some people, it drove me crazy until I figures it out.

In this case... you can use:
busybox mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
Sometimes busybox commands are not symlinked but are available by specifying "busybox" command

Howdy folks!
I've just bought a Nook Color, and I followed these instructions to the letter:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Barnes_&_Noble_Nook_Color:_Full_Update_Guide
(I've done it before and it worked perfectly)
However, this time after installing CM7 and the GApps zips, I reboot and I cannot see the Market app. It doesn't exist. (see attached image).
I thought maybe it was just a problem where I simply have to add a google account...
I go to menu->settings->accounts and sync->add account
Rather than the normal "choose an account type" dialog, It says "you can configure an exchange account" and I am not given the option to choose a Google account.
I reimaged a different SD card and rebooted into recovery using that card and wiped data, wiped cache, installed CM7, installed gapps, and rebooted.
Once again, the same exact issue.
I reboot to recovery again and this time I just install gapps and reboot... same issue...
Any help would be extremely appreciated, and if you can solve this problem for me, I'll even 'donate' 5 bucks if you have that set up.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated here.
Thanks!
Could it matter what version of CM7 you're using?
Thank you for the response.
I've tried CM7.0.3 and the latest nightly [today]
Google Apps pretty clearly did not install. My best guess is either you somehow grabbed the wrong package or your download just got corrupted. You should scrap the gapps...zip you downloaded and re-download this package:
I just tried it to double-check, and the main download link was flagged malicious by Avast and didn't load, so I used the mirror. Try that.
With CM7 installed, make sure Wi-Fi is set up (sometimes prevents complications), then reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery. Insert the SD card with the new gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip file in the root directory. Choose "install zip from sd card," then "choose zip from sd card," then "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip," then "Yes."
You should see some text in the bottom half of the display indicating that the install is proceeding, and eventually that it has finished. Click the power button to back out to the main menu, then "reboot system now."
If that doesn't do it, I've about exhausted my knowledge.
Hello, and thank you for the reply.
I've tried it on two different sytems on 3 different nooks with 3 different SD cards and various different versions of gapps and CM7 including the nightlies.
This problem started when the nooks with the "green stickers" came out.
(Green sticker indicates that it has the new version of Nook software, while a blue sticker indicates that it has the weird new partitioning scheme. These do not have the blue sticker.)
I've tried enabling wifi and whatnot, and then reinstalling the gapps package but no bueno. The apks don't even seem to exist in the system\app directory.
This is a global problem with any new Nooks. I think i just happen to be one of the first ones to experience it.

This has been an ongoing problem for me since I came back to CM7 from HC last week. I don't think it has anything to do with the old or new because I got my NC on launch day.
I had figured that it was just something I had done (I get distracted easily so following directions is....oooooh! A bunny! ) but I've reflashed CM7 and GApps 3 seperate times.
It's only really an annoyance for me since I had most of my apps backed up and I've managed to get the Amazon store and AppPlanet up and running. I'd just like to get the Google market running just so I can have the Trifecta.
I really hope we can figure this out. I know this can't be just me.
What actually happens when you try to install the gapps zip? Does CWM indicate that it is in fact installing the package, and then that it's done?

indeed it does
some added info:
on the "green sticker" nooks, when you try to flash the update OR the gapps, it says it can't mount system or data to make logs, but still seems to work fine. If I manually mount system or data first, it doesn't throw the errors. After flashing CM7, I get fewer errors. CM7 flashes just fine, and the gapps install and CM7 both say install completed, it's just the gapps that don't show up :S
I've heard some people were having trouble flashing the latest stable 7.0.3 and getting gapps to install. This worked for me. I flashed cm7.0.2 from cyanogens site and the google apps add on on the same page. I then flashed 7.0.3 without the google apps add on included with 7.0.3 and it worked. Hope that helps some people
I'm not really sure what you're saying. The gapps aren't installing is the problem.
S/He's saying try installing the previous stable build and see if gapps will install with that. If so, you can then upgrade to 7.0.3 and gapps should remain in place. Technically that's what I did, just because the new stable came out after I had 7.0.2 up and running on SD, but I didn't have any problems flashing gapps with the 7.1 beta to eMMC later on.
ah, I see - I tried that. in fact, I know that on previous versions of the Nook, the gapps installed just fine. I think it's something to do with the 'green sticker nooks'.
I hope this gets or has gotten solved as I just bought a "green dot" NC.
The issue persists, I'm afraid. While it seems I'm not the only one with the problem, there appears to be no solution.
Update: The issue persists on the "blue dot" nooks.
Several 'green-dot' owners have reported installing everything just fine, so that may not be the source of your woes. Have you tried the repartitioning thread for blue-dots, even though you don't have a blue-dot? It seems like your best bet is to one way or another get your NC into a state identical to machines that aren't having this issue.

yes sir, I've repartitioned as well.
Could it be the fact that I'm using CWM 0.7?

I used the one on the CM7 wiki but I can see that wiki has been updated this week. I will try the one you linked and get back on this thread if it works. Thanks a ton. Hope this hasn't all been due to my retardedness. B-)
