if you not flash gapps after flashing CM7, maybe you try downlad and install from SD card *.apk file
Sorry for my bad english

The thing is, if he didn't flash Gapps, he also likely doesn't have the Google Framework files, on which the Play Store (and the rest of the Gapps) relies.

you're right - alternatively CWM also has a download: http://download2.clockworkmod.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip

Always have to flash gapps when you change rom!

Flash GAPPS. If PlayStore still doesn't appear (had this problem with my I9100), just flash twice in a row.
CyanogenMod wipes /system and installs itself without GAPPS - you have to reflash GAPPS everytime if you're using an AOSP based ROM.

true, but if I'm not totally mistaken it should be pointed out that this definitely doesn't apply:

so as long as you don't flash a new/different ROM you don't need to flash GApps. But even with minor updates I always would recommend to do the following (at least) when flashing a new ROM or an updated version:
- format system
- wipe cache
- wipe dalvik
- flash new ROM
- flash GApps
BTW this

hasn't to do with shortcomings of CM but with the license of GApps - pretty simple: GApps is not Open Source so devs shouldn't (aren't allowed to) include them with their ROMs

[ROM][BETA] cTouch Project - No Phone, Just Captivate.

cTouch
By Sepherian
No Phone, Just Captivate
Info: I have removed most of the phone files from the following ROM(s) to turn them basically into a cTouch (captivateTouch)
Phone Files I have Removed: Phone, Messaging, Modem, and any Icons related to a signal has been degraded to ONE pixel. Looks pretty goood.
Directions to flash:
1: NANDROID BACKUP
2: Download your ROM to your SD Card
3: Reboot into recovery, wipe data + cache
4: Install the rom
5: If Rom bootloops retry step 4
6: Prophet?
How I will be updating:
I will evolve the method I use to edit and Build these ROM(s) over time. So they will be labeled by V2 or V3, and the name of the rom will remain the same.
Also, the ROM(s) will update shortly after the developer updates it. (About a week or so)
CM9 and 10 (if they end up being supported) will be updated when I feel like it.
Rom(s) Built so far: (Please read all three posts before downloading)
Superbean 2.8.17 Built by Nygfan760 Download: Click here
If you donate to me, put your xda name and a rom you would like cTouch-inized in the memo and I will put it at the top of my list to finish (even before updates)​

Fixes:
For ALL:
Apply Airplane mode AT ALL TIMES. If it is on you should see a little CT in your notification bar. If it is off, your antenna will be on and wasting your battery. For no reason because you don't want this phone as a phone.
Bugs:
For SuperBean:
If you go to Mobile Network settings, the application will crash. This will happen if you long-press airplane or data toggles because those settings are under Mobile Data

And again...

First!

EDIT: There will be an update coming soon if all goes well. If all does not go well, I'll add another ROM to the Ctouch project instead. Any suggestions?

Works pretty well, although the phone app still exists. There are force closes from phone storage on boot. I was going to install titanium but there is no play store. Not very useful without it. I will try grabbing the latest jellybean gapps and pull the play store from that.
----------
Edit: pulled latest gapps for jb from cm wiki. Installed PhoneSky.apk and play store works like a charm. Why in the hell is it called PhoneSky? Backed up, froze, and un installed phone/messaging storage and have no more force closes from it. Did the same to Guard since it handles call and sms blocking, and also com.android.smspush. Everything is working well, going to figure out how to get rid of the phone app now.
----------
Edit 2: As I'm sure you've already figured out, the Phone "app" is just an intent sent to the Contacts app, and I don't think removing contacts would be a good idea...I did find this though: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5812909/removing-android-phone-app

If this ROM is based off of MIUI.... perhaps just CM10/AOKP with no phone functions? I'm looking to turn my phone into a mini tablet/music player for my brother when i get a new phone.

N4 Btldr Unlck & Rooted Trying to Install Gapps

Hey Guys,
So I'm learning a lot and still have way more to learn. I rooted and flashed my N4 to the most current stable build of CM 10.1. I am trying to install gapps so I can possibly download some apps back on to my phone. Can anyone help me with this? Also, am I able to link my google account with CM 10.1 or no? No kernel has been flashed. All I have done so far is what I stated in the second sentence. Your kind words of experience is much appreciated.
Thx
stoned_pirate

You have to flash ROM then gapps and reboot. Any other apps your missing you can just download from the play store
From my BLACKED OUT N4

You can get the Gapps here: http://goo.im/gapps
Just flash the ROM then the Gapps and reboot. You're good to go. You don't need to flash a separate kernel if you don't want. You can run the stock CM kernel for a bit to see how you like it, then try some others to compare performance and battery. When you do, just flash the kernel zip and clear cache and dalvik cache only, then reboot.

just deleted the unwanted libs files n kept it limited to files required just for play store, as the other apps r either useless or keeo updating frequently so no point in having them as system apps

thanks mate for for the share

@zeyaan Looks like an interesting strategy. Does it make a difference in performance, reliability, etc, whether Gmail, Hangouts, Calendar, et al are installed as system apps or not?

Gotcha @zeyaan. Of course, installing Gmail et al from Playstore afterwards is a great option to flash lightly.

SOLVED - Which GAPPS

Going to try OMNI but in reading through the threads have seen problems with different gapps, SO WHICH GAPPS should we use with OMNI.
Currently have PA_GAPPS for 4.4 from goo so will try that in the meanwhile.
Will also post my results w/PA_GAPPS.
Thanks

pa gapps works fine

PA Gapps minimal package or Core Banks Gapps.
Sent from my Find 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Most of the device maintainers have been using PA gapps.
You will need to use "mini" gapps on some older devices with small system partitions like i777 and i9100

Yes indeed pa_gapps worked just fine :good:
Thanks all.

Because, it's experimental, and not fully supported anywhere. All ROMs are not the same. Else, we'd only have one ROM, and not many.

Dear everyone,
Stop mailing <insert app developer here> asking them to fix their app when using ART. You need to stop using ART until it is fixed. It is experimental for a reason.
