I rooted my acer a500 using Skrilax Cz bootloader v8 and CM10-flex v6 rev 2.3. I also installed the gapps apk that was recomended. Everything seems to work except when I try to open google by taping the search bar on the main screen or the google icon is the apps area, the program starts, loads a couple of images and then shuts returning to main screen. this happens everytime. I have wiped data, cashe and have tried updating from the market. interesting enough when I tap the Browser button (not google) everything runs fine. Any ideas or tips I could try would be appreciated.

-flashed super f
-everything booted and went well BUT THEN...
-market started acting up, it never worked smoothly on anything above 1.6 for me but i cant put my head on this one
-one app is killing me, my maps and nav will not let me download it, along with robodefense for some reason
-By "not let me i mean" its been stuck "downloading" for about two hours.
-tried cancelling the download but EVERY time it force closes the market [com.android.market.vending]
-i had to maunally start a download for the market to "autostart" the downloads on all my prev apps, thought it was wierd cause it was stuck for the longest time, downloads went okay
-so then i flashed gapps from the cm6 website, sorta fixed the problem, it gave me maps, no nav, but my market is still "downloading" the maps even though those gapps gave me the maps app already. cant stop the download because its still force closing
- it was a clean install no other issues, i did a full wipe, wiped via fastboot method aswell,
im not a rookie, but im no dev either so if you can help a bean out.
i was wondering if the "new" market on all the gapps all the devs are flashing are corrupt or wut?
or am i alone?
So, I've recently bought a new vibrant and at first I was able to download some apps after booting, after a few minutes though I can't seem to download anything anymore, the downloads start and the download notification appears on top then dissapears after a second. Hope someone can help. I've tried everything, I've cleared all the cache/data(from checked in service, gtalk, market, etc...), signed out and logged into gtalk, uninstalled market update. I also tried doing a factory reset and even reflashed the rom back to JFD from JI6 but the problem still occurs, after I either hard reset or flash it to stock it works for a few minutes, from 5-30 minutes before the problem occurs again wherein it'd either stay at starting download or the download icon will appear at the notification bar, then dissapear after 1 second. It's been driving me crazy for over a week!
Hope someone has a solution.
Thanks!
This happens to me at times, but after clearing the market apk cache I'm able to download apps properly. Try to clear it a few times before deciding to reinstall the apk. Also, speaking from experience, I dont think that flashing different roms would help too much. Every time i flashed a rom the same problem came back and i would have to do the whole "clear cache" thing over again.
hi, thanks for the help. I've already tried clearing the market cache and other apps but it still doesn't work. I've read of a new market app version 2.2.11, I tried downloading it to the phone and installing it but the phone says something like "error parsing package".
First of all, I couldnt find an official 7.0 RC2 thread, so if you could point me there, that may also help, but here's my situation and what I did.
1. Downloaded RC2 updated from Rom Manager (opted not to download Google Apps)
2. Nandroid, FlashRC2
3. "Doh! I need Google Apps" - Went on web and downloaded/installed diff versions of gapps
4. Finally found the right one, Wiped Davlik Cache and Cache, flashed "gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip" from Recovery. (This is the right 1 right?)
5. Phone boots up, but I dont have Gmail app and Marketplace gives the following error when I try to open it:
The application Market (process.com.android.venting) has stopped unexpectedly. Please Try again. > Force close
I have other google apps (books, Car home, Maps) but the main ones dont work/are missing
I rooted my nook with my touch nooter when it has first arrived 3 months ago.
I've never bothered to update v.1.01 but now with release of v.1.1 I give it a go,
I've done 8'th failed boot type factory reset then installed the v.1.1
The thing I'm puzzled about is I still have the Go Launcher EX, Dropbox and other apps I've installed prior to reset and v.1.1 same time. But there is no market, and device settings as of an android device.
It's not rooted but still the major app "dropbox" and other pdf readers stays.
Is this a violation of any kind?
You need to do an L+R reset in order to get rid of all that stuff, which is under /data, as well as your settings. Turn on the nook, and then when it starts to turn on, hold the bottom page turn buttons on each side of the nook until it asks you to do a factory reset. Click the home button twice, and the reset will commence. Once you're done, you'll have to re-register your nook, but unless you changed something outside of /system and /data, I think you'll be golden.
Try talking to ros87; he's been extremely helpful and unobnoxious, in spite of my obvious n00bness

Factory Restore only restores the system files, it doesn't wipe your /data and that is why you still have your apps.
The Google apps resides in a different place (/system/app) and is therefore normally lost on Restore.
Use the method outlined above or simply go into Settings->Device Info->Erase & Deregister Device which will remove all apps, data and settings for you.
Well, I'm happy that I have them,
After I've sent prior message I've used touch nooter as GabrialDestruir's suggested method, using prior data to root:
"If you're pre-1.1 rooted this SHOULD work:
Run a Factory Restore to wipe /system only - 8 failed boots, or nookRestore image
Run the 1.1 update as is from B&N
Open TouchNooter and remove framework.jar from the TouchNooter disk
Run TouchNooter without 1.0.1 TouchNooter
Go through all steps for Market/Gmail/Youtube
You SHOULD be rooted with working market now"
Now I have SUPER USER, gmail app starts recieves mail but force closes , youtube app worked for sometime after re-installing the app but now it forcecloses....
Market and the market search however works.
Button Saviour and all works either.
Now I got a rooted nook 1.1 I think...

Glad you got it solved mate
New TouchNooter is also right around the corner, maybe that will fix your FC troubles with gmail and youtube.
1. The camera has many additional functions such as hands free, ISO mode, etc. But I really had no idea how to toggle these functions to use as I all see is seemingly a stock camera app. (Same happened across build 6 and 7, I wiped cache and dalvik, flashed the rom, and AIO addons)
2. Google search FC in every attempt to use.
Refresh the zips is not helpful and this is the only place I know of to voice out the issues I had...
update: problem 2 solved by uninstalling, reboot, and resinstalling the app from play store, but I really don't get how to use advance features brought by the rom. I can't search nowhere to find the way and the Q&A on the official page saying to look for the timer option from the circle menu doesn't apply to my case.. why?
