Thanks. That worked but even after rebooting all my downloads say "Download Error" "Download was unsuccessful. Try again". This really sucks cause this ROM works perfect and its set exactly how I liked it

i would say restore any nandroid wipe data and cache reflash the rom, reboot, download gapps agsin, and take it from there

Flash apk?

I was setting up my wife's D2 last night and was trying to get hulu working. Well I tried to install the nexus modified flash apk and it didn't work and now I don't have the apk for the stock flash to reinstall it. I have even tried a resetbto get flash working with no luck. Anyone have any suggestions or am i SOL till flash releases to the market?

You should be able to download flash from adobe for 2.2 by going to a site that requires flash.

I need help updating my market

I just flashed to cm7 for my vibrant and flashed over the gapps package in order to get the Google close source apps. Unfortunately my market will not do the OTA upgrade and I'm stuck in an old version of the market.
My question is if there is a way to force the market to update itself or is there a package I could flash or push to the phone.
Any help would be much appriciated.

[Q] Why wont my MT4G run any ROMS that have the Sense UI?

I just started flashing ROMs to my phone and I do want to have the ability to run ROMS that have the sense UI. Every time I flash one, all these processes start crashing one after the other. I can never get to the homescreen. :/ Also, I LOVE the way the MIUI ROMs look, but this one process crashes every 5 seconds or so and it really gets in the way of using the phone. Is there a fix for this?

What recovery are you using and what version? Also, are verifying the ROM's MD5 before flashing?

Looks like a failed eMMC or a bad download. It successfully flashes in CWM though?

I thought about failed eMMC, but didn't think the ROM would flash or boot at all in that case. It's possible though.

have you verified the md5 sum?
done a full wipe?

Are you flashing the rom by itself or are you flashing anything else with the rom simultaniously before booting up? Like a theme, mod or kernel. Is always best flashing the rom alone, booting up, doing a nandroid and then flash anything else on top.

Are processes crashing before you get the to the GUI, before setup is complete, or after setup is complete?
Incidentally, MIUI is not a Sense ROM and is part of the AOSP/CM family. It sounds like you have a problem that extends to both types.

This is the reason why I asked the op if they boot up the flashed rom before flashing anything else.

I was wondering if the OP has got some bad apps that get installed by the Market on every ROM that is flashed.

I solved my MIUI problem by wiping everything before I installed.

You're supposed to wipe everything before you flash any ROM...

I now know that... I didn't have that issue with CM7, Which was my first ROM. Saved me from having to reinstall apps and restore info

Simple ROM and Device compatibility question

I have a Nexus 4 running on 4.4.2 update base ROM. I've unlocked and rooted my phone, with multiple root tests to be sure. I've also downloaded the Franco kernel. Though its not working, so I assume its cause its a nightly version. From the information I've found those don't always work.
Back to my question though. My devices is a Mako, which goes along with being a Nexus 4 right. So why is it when I downloaded the cyanogenmod mako latest ROM it didn't work? Came up with an error comparing device and product as being mako, and some status 7 thing. I did a restore and now I'm here.
I've tried to install it view clockwork recovery, and from the ROM manager app. Both came up with those errors. Am I doing something wrong?

It looks like you don't have the latest version of cwm on you're phone. Try updating you're CWM to the newest version. Or install twrp recovery ( newest version and try again.
Be warned if you install twrp recovery then you're backup made in cwm recovery wont work should you wish to use it.

Thanks. I updated clockwork and it worked perfectly. Though its extremely annoying that I don't get my apps and data and all that I would normally get when doing a regular Google based ROM. Is there a way to get all that with custom ROMs? Do I just need to do a flash of Google play store or something?

If you flash Gapps immediately after flashing the ROM, it should give you the options to download your apps and system settings during initial setup, if that's what you're asking.

You need to flash gapps package for google apps like playstore, gmail..etc. Link are often given together in the OP of the rom thread.

Excellent. Thank you all. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for those! You've all been a great help.

One more question. Kernels. I know some are ment purely for custom ROMs. But is there a place I can get Kernels for a stock ROM? I haven't decided on a custom ROM yet, but I'd like to tweak this one as much as I can before.

They support both, the exception being with CM kernels.
