I just installed Cyanogen 6.1 on my HTC Hero from sprint. Everything works but there isn't any app market. I've been reading and its apparent I need to "Flash Gapps" but I have no clue how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
The reason you have to flash the Google apps separately is because Google told Cyanogen (the maker of CyanogenMod) that it's illegal to bundle them with his ROMs. While Android itself is Open Source, the Google elements (Gmail, Market, etc) are not. You flash them like you flashed the Cyanogen ROM through recovery.
You can find the zip files here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
You want the latest mdpi zip. hdpi is for high-resolution devices like the Evo. I would recommend using Amon-ra recovery instead of Clockwork, but for this purpose it's fine. Here's a direct link to the zip you're looking for: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip
If there is a rom up the i want can I install it to my phone from the phone? And how would I pay for the app if I wanted to??
You can try clicking the download link and saving to your SDcard (depending on what you are currently running, it may go there automatically, in downloads or similar). But if you have not rooted/installed clockworkmod, you won't be able to install the rom. Once you do, you can DL and install all from your phone.
To "pay", you probably want to click donate on the post of one of the rom developers.
OK so I'm having trouble understanding how to get google apps on some of the custom ROMS. I understand how to flash the zip but all the forms keep saying get the apps from your rom manager. The Tab 2 doesnt have a "supported verision" and can not find at all how to get the zip file. Little help anyone?
I don't think there is a difference between Google apps on a device basis, but you can try and go to http://goo.im/gapps and download for CyanogenMod 9.0.x

Are you running CM9? I have found that site too but I want to know if im missing something from the ROM Manager...
Yes i'm using CM9, and I just flashed the zip from the link and it work perfect.
Finally the first ever Custom ROM for Canvas Spark 2 Q334 is here
I have just finished porting this ROM and still Debugging
Debugging is almost finished and I have uploaded the zip with many improvements .
Till the date there is no available ported or official custom rom available for this device but now the first Custom ROM this Super Budget Phone is now available for download and that is too a Cyanogen based. It is an Resurection Remix ROM
The Device Name may show as "ASUS_Z00VD" but don't worry Check out the screenshots
The size of the ROM is 353 MB
YOU will need to ROOT your device first weather by KingRoot or by flashing Custom Recovery[TWRP Recomended] through PC [Custom Recovery is mandatory as you will need it to flash the ROM]
ROM Link: Resurection Remix for Micromax Q334
TWRP Recovery Link[flash through SP Flash tool only to relace stock recovery]: TWRP Recovery
Steps:-
1. Download the zip and place it in your SD Card
2. Backup your current System through TWRP Recovery[Check only the upper column while backing up not the bottom column;Save to SD Card ]
3. Then wipe your current system[not your sd card]
4. Then flash the Resurection Remix.zip file by going to Install and browsing to the location where you downloaded or placed it in
5. After flashing reboot
6. You will see the RR logo instead of Canvas logo while booting
7. After some time you will see a Update process to go on it will take 6-7 minutes to complete
8. BOOM after update process you have Custom ROM on you Spark 2 Q334
9. You will see the display to be abnormal [Due to wrong LCD Density value{320 DPI} ];To fix this Go to >Settings > Display > LCD Density > Select 240 DPI;The SystemUI will automatically Restart to apply the changes and there you go your System is Ready
10. Please check the Notes below to solve BUGS
Note: Some Bugs are still present:
1. You need to flash and install Xposed Installer And then XInternalSD in order to make apps save pictures and all on SD card otherwise they will save in Internal Storage:-
Link for:
Xposed zip: Xposed.zip
Xposed Alpha apk(install after flashing):Xposed Alpha.apk
After installing xposed search and download XInternalSD activate and reboot and then open it and check "Enable for all apps"[don't check Include system apps it will cause problems]
2. The Camera recording issue:-
If you use any Third Party app like Google Camera then you will face issues while recording a video though Stock camera doesn't have any issue like that except for it to store the video in internal storage.[Please reply to this thread if you wanna know the fix]
3. FM Radio:-
There is no FMRadio App so just download one third party app from store
4. Google Apps Package[GAPPS]:-
Like other custom roms this rom also doesn't have Gapps preinstalled so u need to download it from here
select "ARM" then Android version "5.1" and select variant as "pico" then download and flash BOOM you have Google Play Services now
5. Camera Improvement:-
Flash this if you want to improve the camera quality
[Link will be uploaded soon pls don't mind]
6. Video Playback Issue:-
There will be issues[lags,etc] while playing some videos to solve this Go to >Settings>Developer Options>Use awesome player
Otherwise use MXPlayer with hw+ decoder
7. Coming Soon
Please comment if any queries or bugs
In case you get stuck in boot loop flash the backup you took from TWRP Recovery and if you haven't taken backup then you need PC to flash the STOCK Firmware here is the Link for the Stock firmware
Thanks for reading this long,
And thanks to xda for allowing me to post my ROM thank you xda

SD card bug
Hey.. That SD card bug still exist after installing XInternalSD (Enabled for all apps)..
Whenever I take photos or take backup of any app it goes to internal storage. Also apps do not move to external SD card.
What to do..?? Please fix this.

Man I am late........sorry mate it's been many years not only I have lost all Q334 related files I don't even own the device anymore although I take that you don't need it any more
so recently I accidentally wiped everything on my phone except TWRP. Then I managed to boot up the phone with liquid remix installed with android 9.0 and now my phone is missing the Samsung apps (which I want on my phone) how can I get them back is there a flashable file or any installable pack I really want them back
so if someone can help please tell me what to do I will really appreciate it
Aosp based roms and Samsung apps usually don't mix very well.
You could backup your Samsung apps using Titanium backup, then try to install them one by one in your android 9.
You could also Google for a site that has Samsung apps apk's.
Don't expect much success ?

I have the APK s I just can't download them to my device if you know how to install them can you help me or redirect me to someone else that knows what to do
I suppose you've enabled install apps from unknown sources in settings.
Try to install as you would any apk, i.e. open in file explorer.
As mentioned before, don't expect them to install anyway (maybe 1 out of 20??); most are not compatible with aosp roms.
For your aosp custom rom - look for similar gapps or apps from the app store or XDA.
