I rooted the phone and flashed the ROM. I am looking to get Android market and figure out how to sync my contacts with GMAIL. I am very new to this and actually didn't really want to do it, but why not. I need all kinds of help.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony
The best advice I can give you, being pretty new myself, is to search the forum every question has been asked 12 times atleast. And the people here are extremely helpful. From my knowledge I would search for a Google addons zip and flash it. But I could be wrong.

Download the GApps file and flash it to your phone just like you did the ROM, and the Google Apps will all be there
I was able to get what I needed. Now, I am all set. Next is themes. Thanks guys

Make sure you keep the gapps file for future use. ROMS built from source cannot have googles proprietary files included.

Yes, this is the first time someone actually wants CityID. It's the only thing stopping me from applying the latest update.zip. I've been searching for quite a few hours to no success. Every search I've tried to find the stock CityID app has only led to how to remove it. These all would have been helpful to see before I deleted it through Titanium rather than renaming it. The couple of installs I found have been for other phones, none of which have allowed me to bypass the step in Recovery. Would anyone kindly upload the stock CityID, or even point me in the direction of it. I'm assuming I can just place it back in /system/app/ correct?
I'll add my request to this as well so this topic stays near the top!
I'm also stuck at this error trying to install the new update.zip! I've been doing searches as well and haven't been able to find CityID.apk anywhere!
I'm also assuming that you can just do an adb push of the apk back into the /system/app directory.... fingers crossed!
Try the HeyItsLouFroyo Rom thread in the dev section. He has a zip file of removed apps. Didn't look. But I think it's in there since he said he removed it.

Something is big and wrong here. My google account is gone, and when you go to add an account, there is no google. Essentially I cannot use this. Seems some things got fixed, and some things got broken. Sadly, big things got broken.

I am in linux, so it calculates my size slightly different. But there is something suspicious with what it is doing. I checked the update-script, and it is copying all blur and google applications and bloatware to system folder. I verified in a file manager that my system is full of everything. Now it isn't all showing up in my app drawer. I suspect there are some competing services messing things up here. Not sure though.
But to answer your question, mine says 117.1

Thank you, when he first posted the post, the file shows 117.02M, but now he updated the downloading link it shows 117.14 now, i wonder what the .12M change was
My google account is gone too. I used the newest download. I also noticed all the blur apks are still there. I thought a blurless rom removed all those. Im going back to my last backup I was running 2.0 great

Yep, i just flashed mine again with the newer download, that didnt work out too well. so im going back to tranquility
IRC room looks dead. People just standing around not talking.
Thankfully there is nandroid.
This is a mod for the lockscreen so that the capacitive menu button is disabled for unlocking. This has been tested on Vanilla Lockscreens, but should work the same on HTC Lockscreens. This also has been tested on 3.29* based sense roms, unsure if it will work with other bases. If you have other fixes (i.e. reboot button change) you will overwrite that. Please post if you need me to upload a fixed version of that. Thanks goto ViRuS for the idea, and brut.all/jesus freke for apktool.
Instructions:
Download flashable zip.
NANDROID NANDROID NANDROID? did i miss something?
Reboot into recovery.
Flash zip and reboot.
That was easy wasn't it?
No more accidental unlockings!
Cookers/Developers: If this does not work for your rom, PM me and i can make individual flashable updates.
Rom users: reply to the thread with the base rom that it does not work on. I can find the base myself and make a list of updates.
Edit: It will take awhile to reboot, because i added a cache and dalvik-cache wipe to the update script.
Added mediafire mirror.
Links:
Rapidshare
Mediafire
Just flashed on Fresh 3.3.0.1 and it took a while for the phone to reboot but it's working great. Thanks!
Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar. This is very, very appreciated.
Would you be willing or be able to get to the bottom of the graphical glitches with the Vanilla lockscreen? I know it's plaguing more than one person, myself included.

Locate the 2.1 fix, and I'll see what i can do.
Here is the page that talks about the fix and has the files, and this is the file itself.
Thank you in advance.
Just found a bug (and a pretty major one). It worked perfectly fine disabling the menu button unlock; however, it also FC'ed the HTC dialer, vanilla clock, and HTC gallery every time I tried to open them. Nandroid was my friend today. Not sure if this will happen with anyone else.

Fresh 3.3.0.1
Everything was working fine until I flashed this zip. Maybe I'm just the only one with a stubborn Evo. lol
i have been looking for this for the past few days. a couple of questions before i flash. does it work on stock rooted deodexed with a removed HtcLockScreen.apk? also what .apk have you edited, i have mods made to my framework-res.apk, wondering if they will be touched. Thanks!
EDIT: After flashing on Rooted Doedexed stock rom, it foze on the 4G boot screen. i did a battery pull and tried again... IT WORKS! THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!
so, i'm new to android. does anyone mind giving me step-by-step instructions on how to do this to my fascinate? thanks.
I'm experiencing graphical glitches too on Fresh 3.3.0.1, unless the colors are supposed to be different.

You won't be able to use this hack on the fascinate, you'd have to have one specifically made for your phone i think.

You are correct from what i have seen, also, there is an easier way to do this, also i didn't think the Menu button even did that, sure hasn't anytime i have tried it, or maybe it's because i'm using sense.
I tried to flash this and did not work for me im rooted on evo with no custom rom I just don't like the slider oh and i used unrevoked if that means anything. Im new to this also any suggestions or did I just miss something?
ATM I have two choices: Vanilla Lockscreen with this fix or Reboot Menu. Can you implement your fix with this reboot menu?

I decompiled and compared these two services.jars and could not find common differences to combine and recompile the fixes myself. I don't think you want to give up your secrets and I am not a programmer. Unless you have tips so I can accomplish this myself.

If all you want is try out new ROMs, no need to root. Follow the instructions for NVFlash (search the Dev thread).

Did you remember to Wipe before installing CM7? Wait, how'd you install the ROM? Did you flash ClockWorkMod using NVFlash or Rom Manager? Please tell me you didn't use Rom Manager.

Try searching. All your questions have been answered many times. With a simple search you could have had all your answers instead of waiting. BTW, many people don't reply to threads like this as they are tired of people asking questions that can be answered by searching first.
ilovebeerdanny: as a fellow newcomer I can share my experience which is that this community is super cool and filled with people who will help you out but no-one here is going to hold your hand. You're much more likely to get help if people see you've done your homework first.
When reading answers to your question pay attention to who's giving them. There's a reason members like jboxer and FatalityBoyZahy have high Thanks meters.

OK im sorry for the lack of info. I will do the best I can as a a noob I might not get all of the the terms right. I have the stock rom. I installed the mikeyxdav7 zip file. When I open google search it brings up google now, I can get cards but nothing with voice. The microphone turns red and pulses and there are square mars below it that usually turns into words but they just stay the same I hope this is what you were looking for. Please bear with me as this is all new to an old guy like me.
Thanks

Have you done this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29756226&postcount=2856
I think following that guide exactly should get you where you want to be.
However, I highly recommend SkyICS by seanscreamz, it is a touchwiz based ROM that has a fully tweaked and functional Google Now. The instructions can be a bit confusing on the initial install but once you get it, everything is awesome. (You can even go back to a stock "theme" by flashing the "no vvm no theme" zip.)
I know I didn't give you an exact answer but I would leave my trust in that first post.
