My market.....she is gone!

Hey all, I'm running 2.3.3 Cyanogen 7 mod and when I first installed the mod I had no market. So I re installed it and the market was in there, I have since followed one of the solutions on the samsung galaxy forum regarding different themed markets and how to set them up.
This may seem stupid however I was able to get it working previously before updating to 2.3.3, in short I tried to install zip from SD card and the market has dissapeared and no longer is installed, I tried to install it again and even downloaded the stock and tried to install it as a .apk but it just wont work. I don't want to re-install 2.3.3 if possible but can't see any other options?
I've tried searching for any other threads about this but couldn't find any which actually gave an answer, has anybody seen or had this issue before?

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ if you can't find them, choose the CM7 version in the table at the top.

More specifically you should download this : http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip and install the zip file via cwm recovery

Hey guys, thanks for those speedy responses - this is why I love the XDA forum!!
Sadly installing the Google apps didn't work either, all looked to install but after clearing the cache and fixing permissions (just to be sure) there was no market installed when I rebooted

Just after flashing the rom you must reboot and in your first reboot login with your Google account.

Ah so I do have to reflash the Tom, bummer - that's what I was hoping to not have to do :-(
If its gotta be done then its gotta be done I spose, cheers for all the help.

Cod ball, reflash your rom without wiping anything, after that flash gapps and reboot.

[Q] question about cm7 roms?

I am using samsung Vibrant. I saw a post for a new cm7 tron rom posted today. I wanted to ask if you have to do anything special to flash this rom? There are no instructions. Is there anything special to flash, or just use clock work recovery,
and wipe first, then flash rom, then wipe cashe, then wipe davik, fix permissions is the way I flash all roms .
Thanks

You will get more responses if you post this in the vibrant forum

just wipe data,system,boot,cache,dalivik install the rom then gapps its pretty much the same process on any phone.
Also cyanogenmod should have a wiki if it supports your phone.

[Q] Flashing ROM over an emulator?

Hi
I have made some modifications to an MTD ROM posted in dev section.
I would like to test it on an emulator before I flash it to my actual device.
I installed Eclipse (with ADT plugin) and downloaded some Google APIs (2.1,2.2,2.3.3) but I haven't seen our device in the list...
So I just launched a virtual device based on 2.3.3 but I don't think it is heping me much, it's just a general 2.3.3 android device.
My questions are : (and I did read quite a lot, maybe haven't looked in the right places)
1. what target do I need to download and add to AVD to emulate SGH-T959V ?
2. How do I get it to function with recovery ? and actually flash kernel etc.
3. Do I need specific actions to emulate MTD over our phone ? same as in real phone ?
4. Will I be able to virtually flash a ROM on an emulator ?
links to constructive/informative sources are also appreciated.
Thanks a lot !

I'll rephrase, how do you guys test your ROMs prior to flashing them, or you don't...

I have been trying to do that for a while. What I've discovered is that you can build emulater version from source, or use a nandroid backup.

I was messing around with this last night, but couldn't get a nandroid backup image to load properly in the android emulator. I was following these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591924
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906161
I'll get back to you if I find anything else that works.

I couldn't get it tot work either, but I thought it was just me.

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?

You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.

Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.

Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.

Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Actually I think it did. But since your so quick to make BASELESS accusations I will explain. I'm new and didn't really know where to put it. After my first post I decided it fit better elsewhere. Tasks for inquiring jacka**

Had that problem before u just reflash the ROM. As long as u can still go to cwm recovery

It un rooted itself again! Wth. I dont have cwm. How do I get that?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

I'm not sure that I understand the cwm. Click work mod? I put that on my CPU and tether it with the market app? Sorry this is still very new to me...

Read through the post in the first link of my signature. Also read through the wiki.

[Q] So about this cyangenmod..

I'm trying to root my s3 and the goal is in the end to put cm on it. I'm bummed the installer doesn't work for our phone, but is there a good guide on here or elsewhere with the files I'll end and a how to?
Thanks in advance ( FYI, I've flashed and rooted multiple times before just never cm)

If you stop by Google and go to CyanogenMod's page, find the phone in the devices section. There are device specific guides there. If you want to try something else, go to the original development section, find the CyanogenMod ROM and follow the directions there.

I've found the site but I'm not too familiar with some of the steps needed. I've re rooted my device, I know now I need to unlock my bootloader. There used to be an app on the play store for this, is still there and whats the name of it does anyone know?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Never used an app but using an automated system like that without knowing how to do it the real way ends up crippling you for the long road of wonderful Android. Here is a link to a sticky that has your info:

Read the instructions here once rooted/unlocked
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405425

Yeah, those didn't really help me...if I gave the file on my sd card should I be able to flash it from there with rom manager or goo manager?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

If you're rooted, and unlocked, do you have your nandroid backup set up with custom recovery? From there just use Goo Manager to boot into recovery, and then wipe your cache and then flash your ROM and appropriate Gapps pack. Process was fairly simple on my SIII using TWRP. Make sure you look up the appropriate Gapps zip before starting or you will wind up with key features inoperable and will have to reboot and load it onto your phone before finishing setup.
You'll like CM 10.1.x on the SIII, it runs very smoothly.

Nothing in the post I linked mentions Rom manager. The instructions work if followed.

Don't forget to do this either. Just in case. I've never had to restore, but i still have A & B covered

Not necessarily. I think I flashed my SIII with about 85%. Then again, I did most of the steps with it plugged into the charger EXCEPT for flashing the rom itself. It took about four or five minutes tops.

Has anyone tried both cm and slimbean? I'm thinking of trying slimbean first bc I have usee cm in the past but I keep reading slimbean is stable and gives great battery.
