[Q] CM 6.1 RC2 Market Issues

I upgraded CM 6 to CM6.1 RC2 and everything went smooth, except when you turn the nexus one on there is no market or gmail from google as if they some how are no longer part of the phone.
When I upgraded I did it from the phone itself so when i was ask if i wanted google add on I click yes and once it went to the booting process and the new CM6.1 RC2 was running I could not find the market or my contacts I could not sync my phone to the google server...why?

Hum.....read the thread and find the link to Google apps. You will then need to flash Google apps on top of your CM6 ROM.
I know sometimes the Google apks fail to download in ROM manager.

So should i download the CM 6.1 RC2 from the phone since i have the ROM manager and not get the google add on and download it from a PC, save it to da sd card n then do it manually?...please explain...thank you!

Uh, I have no idea what you're talking about. CM6.1 RC2 is still available for download. If you still have it loaded, grab the GAPPS package from the wiki (link below) and flash it over your current ROM (no need to wipe first) to get the Market, Gmail, etc... back.

I notice if you go to cyanogenmod website and click on downloads and then experimental and you see CM6.1 RC2 and if you click on it it says you can not download it anymore because it was reported as broken because not having Market or gmail.
On the same website if you go to forums and then see nexus one it will give you a link to download it from the links they have on that forum....so my question is which one is really true?
any ideas?

Considering I'm running CM6.1 RC2 with everything working perfectly, I'd say it's not a problem with the build....
Edit: I just checked the page - you can actually still download the zip. Someone just reported the file as broken, but that isn't a note from the devs (they have better grammar).

CM Roms haven't included Google apps in a long time.
Google asked that their programs weren't included because they are copyrighted material. Android being open, you can still download the GAPPS (Google Apps) pack and flash over CM's latest.
This has been the method as long as I've been on Android.

I got downloaded it from your xda website and it works!!!...now can someone tell me what is the mayor changes from CM6.0 and CM6.1 RC2? the only thing I can notice is the fm radio...anybody can tell me what also is good with this ROM?
By the way....I love cyanogenmod!!...much better than the stock one!...Keep up with the good work developers!

Anybody has some input as what is da mayor change between CM 6.0 and CM6.1 RC2?...i want to explore my new ROM....any ideas where should i start?

[Q] Cyanogen Mod

please help. i have recently installed a cyanogen rom onto my htc hero and it works lovely. the only problem is there is no app market and im not sure how to get it. is there anyway i can an app market app? the link i downloaded is update-cm-6.1.0-rc1=hero-signed.zip

Hello Jamie,
because of legal issues the google apps is not included in the rom. You can find a zip to flash in the official thread of that ROM, http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/11667-cyanogenmod-61-for-hero-v610-12072010/

Reflash the rom. It comes with the market right? did you do your wipes etc? failing that, you can download a market apk i think from somewhere in 'general'. That will be the updated market anyway. I sometimes have to flash it as the older market doesnt seem to show all of my downloads...annoying when updates are avail. anyway, i'd say reflash.

no it isnt. CM7 will never include Gapps with the original packaging because of Google's C&D. If they did, they'd be faced by Google's attorneys etc etc.
Official GAPPS: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/
Unofficial GAPPS (Repackaged with a newer market): http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?cxlbp3zj1s5l92v
Steps:
1. Clockwork Recovery
2. Flash .zip
3. You're done.
If you're downloading from Official Gapps make sure you're downloading from the CM7 one.

ICS and ROM Quick Questions

Sorry guys, I unlocked, rooted and flashed the latest EOS nightly #33. All has gone well, but I cant see the Market app, or find a way to link my Google account to get my calendar, mail and apps restored.
Could someone nudge me in the right direction please?!
thanks
EDIT - In case anyone has this problem, the link to the GA package is below:

You'll need to install the GApps package linked in the thread for the ROM. AOSP ROMs generally do not include the Google Apps by default and must be installed separately.
There should be a .zip file you can flash from recovery.

You need to flash gapps as those are google apps and required to be a separate download. Check the eos thread, they link the latest gapps there (v8 I believe)

ok thanks, will look now, and any ideas about the Android Market app?

You could try uninstalling the Market App in the settings and then have it redownload the market. That should work.

It came with the Google Apps package - I have included the link in my first post just in case anyone has the same problem. Thanks for you help all

thanks again

Did you flash gapps after flashing cm7

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.

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
