I was playing with a ROM and decided that it wasn't for me so restored a back up I had made a couple of hours earlier and Android Market is now missing.
I have tried restoring it and a couple of previous back ups but still no Market.
Found a couple of APK's for the Market and while the phone claims to have installed them, I have the icon, the app won't launch.
Any ideas before I return to stock and start over ?
What rom were you using?

Went from Cyanogen to Gingerbeast and back again.
Curious as trying new ROM's isn't exactly a new thing for me or this device.
Best bet would be do a full wipe and then a clean install of either ginger or cm7

That is what I was thinking but just wanted to make certain I wasn't missing a trick.
Thanking you muchly
All you have to do is flash the Google Apps addon. It will install the market app.
Knew I would find a better way.
Many thanks !

Ok here I go ....I'm ready to stick my toe in the custom rom pool and I thought I had read everything I need to know. Reading the installation instructions and the first thing it says is to "wipe data/factory reset" that scared the @#$% outa me. Will I be able to go back to my stock rom and everything still be the way I left it?

Backup before you wipe data!
There is an option to create a backup in both sprecovery and clockwork.
You will be able to revert back using this backup if anything goes wrong.
Cool thanks that's what I thought just wanted to make sure....sorry I have one other question: Once I install the new ROM will I have to set it up and get all my apps and widgets all over again or will they be there
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
You gotta do that backup. Have to download ROM Manager and install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Don't you dare do anything until you do that. Good luck.

After wiping everything, it will all be gone. Apps and widgets won't go with you but if you get Titanium Backup, you can backup each app and widget and then restore it once you flash the new custom rom and it'll be just like it was before!

I just flashed my first ROM last night and lost my contacts too. Luckily I had them all saved on my wife's phone. I don't know about your droid but my captivate asks where I wold like to save a contact when I add a new one. I saved all of them to my gmail account just incase this happens again. There may be an easier way to do it. But this seems to work for me.
Any idea about the 3G Hot spot for Liberty

I'm a newbie when it comes to this. But I learn quick. I messed up and didn't put the nvda. Instead I flashed the rom manager clockwork mod and so on. Everything was good I had eaglesblood, I was happy. Today I flashed cyanogen. Now I'm happy with the rom but I don't gave ANY Google apps. I have the GAPPS but I can't reboot my phone to flash them. Can someone help.......thànXx a million

After long hard work ......i found that i can do it with rom manager ......no nv flash or watever .....whenever you flash a new rom you NEED a new clockwork recovery . I remember reading a thread saying that when you do it thru rom manager its a fake clockwork mod. So i just made another one. Now my baby is running cyanogen with g.bread gapps. Thank you anyways......gope somebody finds both of our answees beautiful.....now how do i put the black market n black search bar -like eaglesblood??

I'm on CM7 #83
I guess I'm asking is there a way to get it back or do i need to delete it and redo everything as in delete cm7 totally from my device/unroot/reroot??
or do I just abandon this amazing rom...
This is how it happened>>
I flashed CM7 nitey #81 had it for the day and was loving it, installed a couple themes for the t-mobile theme app and played around with those at work. Then all the sudden I went to click on market to download more app's ..... Nothing happened the market flash on the screen for .2 milli seconds and then vanished into the droid lol not lol I'm pissed I loved this ROM so much ... so after doing this 10 times I looked online to seek for a solution, nothing turned out except, for one thing to uninstall updates so I did and it was forever deleted..
HELP ME PLEASE
try reflashing the ROM again...
I am very new at this, but I think that you should be able to pull an .apk for the market in the rom .zip file. After some quick research it might be called vending.apk. Like I said I am very new at this so take my advice with a grain of salt
Every time I have had this issue it has been because I didn't flash google apps with CM. No aosp rom comes with market built in and they all need a separate file to be flashed. Try downloading the google apps for your phone (posted on the cyanogen website) and flashing them from recovery and I guess your market should work.

Flash Gapps from ROM Manager or copy it to SD and flash from Recovery.

I think there's a 5/3 version of gapps.

Hey XDA members,
Ive updated to the latest SKY ICS R-3. i must say it is the best ROM I've used and always looking for the latest update.
the only problem I'm having is running Song Pop app. I'm addicted to it and SKY ICS will not let it load. it starts up and then a blue screen thats all.
any help here would be greatly appreciated
Yup. Couldn't get it to work at all on skyICS. which sucked because I wouldn't get rid of that ROM, but got JB now and it works!
I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from sky ics 4.2e to 4.2f(non dragon) and it worked on my old ROM, but not since I updated. I posted in the sky ics post earlier... no replies yet hope we can figure something out. I can even help get debug if people need it, I just don't know enough to change code... I only know Linux, not java programming.

Not yet . I posted about it twice on his ROM thread, once someone even quoted me and confirmed it doesn't work, but noone ever responded to my post . Maybe I'll try one more time.
Oh and I upgraded from 2.7A to 2.8B update, and still no go.
Maybe his update or new project coming out will fix this problem MAYBE

Currently running the newest SKY-ICS 3.0, and SongPop still does not work. Tried everything, including installing the last Adobe Flash Player with a Flash Installer. Adobe Flash Player runs just fine, but still no SongPop. Had the same problem with Screenshot from Google Play today, as far as force closing, and the same error message. Uninstalled Screenshot, and reinstalled it, works fine now. I did notice the last time I uninstalled, and reinstalled SongPop, it said a shortcut was already on my home screen, but I had just uninstalled it. Maybe it's not truly uninstalling all the way to get a fresh install. I don't know, but SongPop not working on SKY-ICS is the only thing that sucks for me.
Just for ****s n giggles, SongPop support sucks ass. I tried seeing if they knew what was up, and all they do is dance around the problem. Told them all of what was going on in my first comment on there, phone, o/s version, and exactly what was happening. The tech replies with, please reply with all of this info including SongPop username, phone, o/s, sreenshot of when it's failing. I was kinda harsh, and told him I already posted most of it in my previous post, and then sent another reply with username, and a couple screenshots. One of the blackscreen when it f/c's and another one of the error message. Next reply is, try uninstalling, and reinstalling SongPop. In my first comment, I already stated that I have done this many times, along with clearing cache, data, and even did a fresh install of this ROM to make sure none of my other apps, and or settings was screwing with it. Next reply is, We're sorry you're having this isssue, please check back often to see if your problem is fixed. Also, each time they reply to new comments, they close your help request, and mark it as solved. It took me 6 days to get told, sorry it's not working, and we'll try to fix it.
Works fine on CM10/AOKP. Sky-ICS is dead. Switch to a newer ROM.

try using the libCore.so from adobe air:
1. Install the lastet adobe air from google play
2. Copy the file libcore.so from /data/data/com.adobe.air/lib/libCore.so to /data/data/air.com.freshplanet.games.SongPop*/lib/libCore.so , you can use a file explorer like cm explorer or the terminal.
3. Start playing

I did my first root less than a month ago, so I'm super new to this too. I used Advanced Ace Hack Kit; it has since been taken off of XDA Forums, but Google it and it should be pretty easily found. After that, just try the different ROMs on XDA. Remember to do a nandroid (a full backup) before you wipe and flash a new ROM, and maybe even back up your apps so you can restore them (which can be problematic).
I strongly recommend spending some time researching different ROMs and how to do different things yourself; that seems to be the XDA way. The information's all here already. There's also just so many options: GB, ICS, and JB; AOSP, CM, and AOKP. I doubt anyone's going to give you extensively detailed information here when it's already available with a little Googling and searching.
With that said, welcome. I've found XDA a great resource in the short time I've been here.

I prefer Goomanager for flashing and full backup and Go Backup for apps and data backup...but that's just me.
Safe backup is also a nice lil app for doing your backups... pretty easy to use and allows you to backup to your dropbox as well...
