HELP! - my market and phone are acting up

So, I decided to do a full wipe (minus sd) and re-install a fresh copy of CM7 7.1.0 on my Nex S. Anyways, I went into CWM, did cache wipe, factory wipe, and dalvik, wiped /data manually for good measure, and went thru installing the ROM, then my custom kernel (TEUV morfic), and then the latest gapps.
Upon boot, I notice the following things:
1. The welcome screen never comes up! It just goes to the desktop/home screen.
2. The market is gone! I've never had this happen, but it's just not there anymore
3. I can't add Google accounts like I normally do. It only allows me to add Exchange accounts.
What am I missing here?!? This is driving me nuts. I've tried reinstalling, rewiping, reflashing, re-EVERYTHING to no avail. I don't understand WTF is up with this.

You forgot to flash the latest gapps.

Note. You may have flashed the one that is labeled new-talk at the end. This is not the full gapps. You flash that file alongside the gapps with the same date.

[Q] I have questions

First, sorry for my bad english. Hope you understand
I installed CM 7.2 and it runs smoothly but I encountered some annoying problems.
When the first time i install GO Launhcher EX it's ok with some beautiful wallpapers in GO Wallpaper setting but now it was gone, just leave a single one. And the label of GO menu setting disappeared too.
Same with Opera Mobile, you all know that it has Speed ​​Dial Page with some Facebook, Opera ... link by default. But now it clear although I did not touch it.
I did everything possible, clear app cache, wipe data and cache, even format everything in the menu CWM - mount and storage and install a fresh ROM.
But everything remains the same.
What is the problem ? Where a place not be cleared ?

Go back to CWM, mount and storage, wipe SYSTEM/DATA/CACHE.
Go back to Advanced, wipe Dalvik.
Flash your 7.2 CM ROM.
that should start you with fresh clean ROM.
Edit: don't forget to flash Gapps after you flash CM 7.2

Thanks for reply, im not a newbie i known what to do but it still remains the same. I dont known why !

[Q] MYAPPS missing from GAPPS

I just installed a custom rom PAC MAN 4.3 and then applied GAPPS 8-18_GApps_Core_4.3.zip and I can't seem to have a menu button for MYAPP in google apps.
So I flashed gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip instead with the same issue.
I can't see my purchased or installed apps in anywhere.
I wiped the Google Play App caches with the same issue.
I'm stuck, any help out there.

[Q] 4.4.2 deodex

Is anyone on the special 4.4.2 nc2 having a problem with rotation where it works on reboot then doesn't after five to ten min. My auto brightness is also flaky I've updated to the Bajarom12 and 13 and the issues persist. Also have had a com.sec.android.keyguard failure with the lock screen but noticed nothing different. I've looked through the threads and haven't found anything any help or links would be appreciated
Thank you

I personally use rotation locker and manually rotate my screen. I can't help you with the auto brightness, but as a rule of thumb when having problems with roms it's always best to wipe dalvik cache and regular cache in recovery. If that does not work you need to make a nandriod backup to a microsd card and then wipe your data also in recovery and start fresh and see if you still have the problem (most likely you will not).

thank you for the quick reply :] I have done a dalvik cache, cache, system, data, every time and have installed deodex 4.4.2, new hyperdrive, and baja 14. I also flashed the n900vkk firmware md5 file in AP in Odin after doing the fresh installs to see if that would change anything and sometimes it will rotate the first few minutes after restart then sometimes just not at all. Thank you for the rotation locker recom. I downloaded it and am using it right now :good:

i have read many times about rotation issue being linked to freezing/removing some of what is considered bloat. there is an ongoing thread right here about it. hope that helps.

[Q] Installing any app makes the phone to reboot

Hey guys.
Phone is CyanogenMod 11 (Android 4.4) and Paranoid Android (Android 4.4)
What happened:
Phone crashed (screen became full of colors and phone restarted). After reboot everything on the phone was gone - GApps, all my apps, save a few of like a 100. Basically a fresh CM install without GApps.
What I did was flash GApps (correct package). Everything worked fine until I've tried to install an app. Phone immediately rebooted.
I've tried wiping everything, doing factory resets, installing older CM builds, now I've even installed Paranoid Android ROM. Still the same problem persist:
If I try to install any app from Play Store or just from an apk with I file manager - phone immediately reboots. The only way I can now use it is by disabling Play Store so it doesn't start to update something
Has anyone ever encountered this?
Is this the right forum to ask?

Maybe you just need to flash gapps right after the rom. I flashed cm without gapps once and when i booted back into recovery to flash gapps my phone crashed.
Doing them one after the other is the way to go.

Thanks for suggestion, I've tried that several times, didn't help...

I had the opposite after a crash on a nexus 4 over a year ago.. phone would reboot unistalling any app wether by play store or settings/apps.
after trying everything for most of a day, the only thing that fixed it was formatting the data partition.. not wiping, there's a format data option in twrp

I'll try this! But when? Before installing CM and Gapps, after?

Tried various ways, no game
