I have recently flashed the latest CM6 release for HTC Hero. It is great apart from one MAJOR problem, there is no market app.
Is there a reason for this? or have I done something wrong
- did nandroid backup
- wiped data
- wiped dalvik
- wiped cache
- flashed (successfully)
- rebooted
Did you flash the google bits?
Same here.
I also just flashed CM6-RC3 and after flashing MDPI Google Apps (20100816) .zip file, I have Gmail and such but no Market and Home & Search buttons are not working either on Mytouch 3G (32B).

Check inside the googlebits zip if the market apk is included?
Yes MarketUpdater.apk is in that .zip file in fact the GoogleApp .zip files for CM5 and CM6 are identical but the Market only works for me in CM5. And since the Home & Search buttons don't work in CM6 either I am going to stick with CM5 for now.
It turns out...
for me at least, I should have used the "tiny" GoogleApps .zip file which could have been my problem. But a new CM6 ROM file showed up today without the -RC3 after it so using these two files I have the Market and my Home & Search buttons are now working in 2.2 Froyo on this Mytouch 3G (32B). Cool.

The file you're looking for is Vending.apk.
I used z4root to root my gf's hero and installed titanium backup , backed everything up and deleted some bloat ware . I was careful only deleted stuff like sprint nascar , football , IM , facebook and gtalk , stuff she never uses and now I can't download from the market just gets stuck at starting download .
I also get a gapps error and force close the only google app I deleted was gtalk , Titanium won't restore it or the other preinstalled apps . I would like to install gtalk apk but she doesn't even have astro or similar and can't download it .
any help is appreciated thanks

Yep, deleting gtalk did it. Go get a copy of the gapps from the cm thread, flash that, or pull the gtalk apk out of it and install it.

Thanks for the response
What's the cm thread ? And how do I install it without file manager
Swyped from my EVO
Get Astro or any other file manager, download the .apk file to the sdcard and select it from the file manager. It should prompt you to install it...
If not, read up on adb and you should be able to install it that way...

CyanogenMod thread. You'll have to use adb. There is a thread somewhere on how to push apk's with it. I'm not sure. Sorry.

Or you could just ruu and reroot. That would most likely be the easiest. You can find the 2.1 ruu floating around here somewhere or I think you can get it at sprint.com.

I can only get my vibrant to vibrate on corporate emails, with the stock 2.2 update from mini kies. In 2.1, it vibrated and had a Ringtone. But now all it will do is vibrate. I went through the setting removed vibrate, and it doesn't do anything with new emails. The new emails appear in the notification bar, but no sounds. I even went into the setting and picked a Ringtone.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem. I did a factory reset, formated both phones memory and sd card. I wiped my phone to stock JFD, before doing the udpate.
Any help would be much appericated.
Thank you.
I've having the same issues (tried KA5, KA6, KA7). On a different note, when I first tried KA5 from JI6, my data speeds were fabulous (got about 4Mbps dl and about 1.7 ul)and then since I moved to KA6 (and then to KA7 and back to KA5), my data reception has been terrible, often times switching between EDGE and 3G and never got HSPA. Pretty frustrating that I had it all good on KA5 (except the audible notification on my exchange email) and things are bad as of now.
~bump~
I see someone else is having this problem, is this something we did in the flashing back and forth or is this a problem with stock 2.2 KA6?
Any help would be much appericated.
Thank you,

It's working fine for me know. Someone gave me the fix off of TW website in the forums.
Thanks for updating. Apparently you could also use email.apk from GB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=910857).
I haven't tried this myself yet. So just an FYI.

The GingerBread Email.apk works great. I use now with every rom I install and have not had 1 issue.

Tried the Nero v3 email.apk and the GB email.apk - result for me was the same - zero sound notification. What's more is one email the vibrate is really short and soft, like the soft keys vibe is now, and the next one it goes for 10-15 seconds.
I have done a complete factory data reset in CWM since I have that installed with the stock+voodoo ka6 kernel setup.
I guess at the end of the day what pisses me off is the complete inconsistencies show across the Vibrants - one fix works, next one don't from phone to phone.

It took me about three times to get it to work correctly, because I was pissed off too. I slowed down and followed the instructions to the T and it work fine after that. Not say that you aren't following them, but with me I was allowing my pissed offness to rush the process to quickly.
I switched to Bionix-V 1.2, did the samething to fix it and it works again.
EDIT: also might want to try re downloading the email.apk.
I hope you can get it to work, because I am sure your email is as important as mine. Not being able to get notified of emails, can cause a crap load of problems.

Thanks for thr reply.
How is the bionix v working for you? I may just do that and then try again on the email apks. I downloaded via firefox and chrome, both apks twice.
But it was late, so may try again. Otherwise I fixed all the other issues (mms errors, gps, did the voodoo etc) and it has been running pretty good.
Being the Sr. Web Developer at a top ten sports organization, you got it, it is critical to get the notifications all the time.
EDIT - I should also point out, that when I went to copy the email.apk through root explorer into system/app I only had about 700kb free, not enough room for a 1.39mb apk, and that was after deleting the original email.apk. I removed a few other apks I knew I didn't need/want.

Downloaded the Email.apk from This post, did the following:
Copied Email.apk to SDCard
Menu-Settings-applications-manage-email-clear data/cache
root explorer, mount r/w, system/app, deleted email.apk
rebooted
after reboot, copied email.apk from SDCard (the only .apk on the sd card) and pasted in /system/app
long pressed, changed permissions to rw-r--r--
rebooted
setup email
same thing - highly variant vibration speed/lengths, zero tone
Copied to SD Card
Next I seen in the same thread, a CWM version of the Nero v3. Reboot to CWM Recovery, installed zip from SD card, same thing. Though it ocurred to me that didn't clear the data/cache nor remove the existing Nero apk prior to flashing.
So I just did that - removed Nero v3 email.apk, cleared cache/data. rebooted, opened CWM, reboot recovery, install zip from sd, rebooted, let it all load. Sent an email - zero sound. Again.
I can see in root explorer the file sizes have been different, so I know they are going in there (the nero is different size than original, as is the GB, etc).
I am at a complete loss at this point. 3 or 4 Email.apks, nothing is fixing it and it's to the point i am probably just going to throw a diff rom on it and move on, as notification is one of the key things I need.

Don't forget to change the permission on the Email.apk
Should look like this:
[*]long pressed, changed permissions to rw-r--r--
That might be a problem, just reading the steps you put after "So I just did that-", I noticed you didn't put that you changed the apks permissons.
I did the above setups and it works for me, but it did take me three times to get it right though.

Yeah, did that, probably forgot to type it in - coming from a Linux enviro, full aware of perms on files/dirs. In fact I ended up doing the nero and GB email.apk 3 times each, all to no avail. Ended up flashing Bionix-V 1.2.1, still no notification, pushed the nero email apk - and viola, working like a charm and as a bonus, Bionix is FAST n smooth.
What do you guys think compared with K9 email? i haven't had the best of luck with any of the email apps since the G1

I Did this and got the email notification and all vibrations to stop.
Downloaded same Email.apk file
modified stat_notify_email_generic.png 9wanted the yellow icon from stock)
Copied Email.apk to SDCard
Menu-Settings-applications-manage-email-clear data/cache
root explorer, mount r/w, system/app, moved email.apk to external SD
copied email.apk from internal SDCard (the only .apk on the sd card) and pasted in /system/app
long pressed, changed permissions to rw-r--r--
rebooted
setup email
Everything was perfect for what i changed.
Copied to SD Card
Hi all,
This should probably be in imilka's thread, but I can't post there as a new user. Since upgrading to his CM9 V.02, titanium refuses to open, and when I uninstall I can't reinstall from market, which gives the error 'Insufficient storage available'. I can install other apps fine from market, I have more than enough memory, I tried wiping market data and cache, and I even tried wiping dalvik cache and reflashing gapps from CWM. No luck. Can't install the apk from non market sources either, where the error is similarly to do with freeing up memory. I wiping titanium files from the sd, and searched for more in the root dir, but couldn't find any.
Running out of options for this one indispensable app - please help!
Thank you

Weird issue indeed. Installs just fine on my CM9.
Have you tried copying the .apk file to /data/app/ (+ reboot)
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
try using an application to set the install location on the external SD and check if it gives you the same message, this is probably caused due to lack of space a common issue in android.
Thanks for your very helpful replies, guys. I went back to the data/app folder and found a com.keramidas file (or something like that) which I deleted. Now installs from market no problems.
Thanks so much

He meant the file with .odex extension which is like a leftover.
