Apps after installing CyanogenMod ROM

I'm only after installing CyanogenMod and I'm really happy with it but I have two problems.
1) The Android Market is currently not there? I tried to download an APK file, but how do I install it if I can't download an app to do that?
2) I did a backup with nandroid before I installed the ROM, if I restore the backup I made. Does this remove the ROM? I want all my apps back etc. Is there anyway I can make this so it doesn't remove the ROM but instead restores the essential things I backed up?
Thanks

You need to download the gapps file and install then you will have Google apps and market

Second above post. Legally CM is not allowed to include the gapps n the build. I believe they even received a cease and disist order for having gapps standard on the roms.

Yeah, I read that on the internet so I'll try that. Is that why there is no YouTube app etc.? Thanks

If you want to restore all your apps use titanium backup.

I need help

I really need help I need to know how to restore ALL of my apps and settings after flashing the SBF because I want to take gingerblur please help

You can use Titanium Backup to backup all your settings and then restore them after you flash....

I've been looking at this but do I need an sd card because if it's backed up on the phone won't that be deleted when I flash the SBF but I don't see an option for ansd card in titanium

What you do is, do your back up, after it's done, move your backup to your PC. After you do the SBF, move it back to your phone, and restore... this should restore all your settings and apps just like before it was flashed...

Ok thank you so much for your help I just started in with android about a week ago and I've learned some ADB and alot of stuff about flashing but this is the first time I've had to restore so thanks for your help.

App from arc-x8 to froyobread

I have the arc-x8 rom and i want to shange rom to froyobread but i have some apps that i want to save and i wonder if i putt them on the SD they will still work after Shanging rom? Sorry 4 bad English =√
Sent from my Arc-X8 using XDA App

indeed it will work. there are several option to do that;
1. copy the apps you want to save in /system/app, paste it somewhere in your sd and install after changing ROM.
2. Use titanium backup and restore after changing ROM.

Tnx alot. Ill do it today. Posting result.

flashing without loosing apps

Sorry, I am new and maybe this is a silly question. Can I flash a new rom without loosing my apps and their settings and my games and their saves ? Like backing-up all these.

If you are rooted use titanium backup from market, but the fact you asked this indicated you need to study more before you start flashing roms

hahaha. Thank you very much for your quick answer ! Maybe you are right. The fact is that I already flashed my phone 2-3 times but never interested in backing-up. On the other hand now, I have spent a lot of time with it and I do not want to loose my apps. Is there something specific I should do with titanium back-up ? or I just back-up with this app and then, after I flash, I restore ? ( sorry haven' t used it before )

Yeah you just backup before flashing, restore after. Bear in mind I don't think it is compatible between cm7/miui and samsung - based roms.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App

Well restoring app data can cause problems, but that is depending on what rom you are flashing to and from, and like any app you need to learn to use it I recommend paid version as it allows you to batch restore and backup

You may have problems with app data but I'm really not sure, you will know if you do because you will get a lot of fc of apps

thank you slaphead20 and jaju123 very much ! I will try to save anything I can with titanium. flashing is much more important for me.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk

Some games store their save files on the SD card (data or similar). So if you flash a new ROM, all you need to do is reinstall the game and you can start where you left.

Thank you !

ive never had any problems backing up and restoriing ONLY user downloaded apps between cm7, stock and miui using titanium. the only thing which would cause you problems would be restoring system apps..
if you wish to backup messages also and use them with other firmwares u could also use GoSMS, which has a backup function

need to do backup to games,apps and everything befor update custom
