This is pretty much the only rom I haven't tried yet. I read about 10 pages on the dev page but Im just not 100% sure how to flash this rom. I'm currently running miui with blue recovery, so I'm good there. I've already downloaded the latest build according to the dev page, but I have no idea what gapps or whatever is. I read that I can download them in rom manager, I checked it out but there's like 10 versions. Do I flash the Google app then cm7?

With blue CWM recovery you should be able to flash CM7 with a normal flash in CWM. If you boot loop, pull battery and reflash. The gapps is all the google apps you need, Cyanogen can't include google apps in the Rom. If you download gapps through rom manager, pick the latest one. I actually downloaded gapps from the Cm7 wiki. (the link for it is in the OP for Cm7 Rom) Flash the rom first THEN gapps and you should be good.

I'm sure ill need to wipe data and such since I'm currently running miui, but I think I read that I need to format system or something within cwm, any truth to that...I don't like formatting anything unless I know for sure.

Ya thats what I meant by normal flash lol. I know when flashing from red you need to format but, I can't remember if I did so when flashing from CM7 to MIUI or if its needed. You can try it without, and if it doesn't work then format, just make a backup before you do. I just remember the format system part is before you flash the zip a second time after a battery pull.

I did a normal flash and it worked fine but the latest version of Google apps doesnt match the latest cm7 build. I tried it anyways but I did work, no Google apps appreared, so I went back to miui.us. I guess ill have to wait for an update.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using xda premium
MIUI comes with the market which is really all you need ( you can download the rest from the market) CM7 is what needs gapps, best way to get these is from the rom thread, he's got a link in the OP somewhere.

Did you flash gapps through rom manager or cwm? I had to mess with that for a while and could only get it to work when flashing through cwm (blue). Worth the effort though. This is my favorite rom and I'm pretty sure I've tried them all. A lot of them anyways.

The gapps work bruh......your either not flashing the right gapps. or just missing steps.
really as long as the market loads you can find the rest of the apps on the market.
why use rom manager the link in the OP has the latest gapps

@acmys, I think you might be expecting the Gapps installation to also include all the Google apps. Gapps only gets you the Market app and the automated Google Apps installer that pops up during the initial boot (that is why the Gapps file is only 5 MB - it doesn't have much in it other than the Market and the initial welcome stuff). You still have to manually download gmail, maps, voice, etc. either during that initial boot or you can do it later when you're on wi-fi. So if you've already got the Market app, then you are good to go. If I misunderstood you and you're not even getting the Market app, then disregard everything I just said.
Yup no market
Is there anyplace I can download an APK of market? for inspire?

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.

You try wiping and reflashing? Use prboy's intro to flashing in the general section, he uses a pretty thorough method.

Try reflashing without gapps. The rom might already include it.

Make sure you're downloading for p999 device, latest is 20120610. If still having problems, boot into CWM, Nandroid backup first, factory reset, wipe cache & dalvik-cache, flash ROM, flash gapps.

I didn't think the gapps were platform specific. Please correct me if I am wrong but I thought they were universal and more architecturial specific. Divided up into 3 key factors; Android version, architecture, and CM7 build. Not p999, p990, etc. I could be very wrong. If that's the case, I am sorry aand could you provide a link?
The gapps version I am using is 20110828.

So instead of taking the latter, I just uninstalled and downloaded the gmail app from the market. It worked. I feel stupid for not thinking of that before!

I think you're confusing some concepts. gapps.zip is required to enable Google Market/Play, it's not included in CM ROMs. Gmail app is supposed to be downloaded from the market once you can access the market.
BTW my prev post was referring to the ROM 20120610 for p999, latest gapps for CM7 is 20110828 (generic), which I assume you know how to flash, I just included it at the end for completeness since the factory reset will have erased gapps.
the link to get.cm works for me, but you have to scroll down on the left side and click P999 to get the ones for our phones. those are device specific, gapps is android version specific
try this link directly to the CM7 nightlies, the first zip is the one you want

whatever, take a chill pill man. your last post you asked if anyone was still having a problem with the link, so i posted one and gave a little info in case someone else read this thread and was confused. its not all about you
Well after a lot of reading and watching videos(apparently not enough),i seem to have gotten myself into something i am not sure i can get out of.I followed all the steps to install TWRP on my SGH-I727 AT&T Skyrocket using Straight Talk.That went ok,i got it installed,booted into it and forgot to backup my data first!I did a wipe first.... no idea why
I had the CM-11-20140106-nightly skyrocket.zip file on my external sd card.I get to the sd card and see the zip file,select it,I clicked install and the screen says checking for MD5 file...Skipping MD5 check no MD5 File found,then FAILED.
I also put gapps on sd card and it installs that fine.
So now when i try to reboot it just goes to the twrp screen and i can't get any further.Of course i can't restore because i didnt backup...
i was running 4.1.2 jb,am i totally screwed or what?I tried to reinstall with kies but it won't connect to phone now

do some more reading.
theres only one specfic gapps version that will work with cm11, its in their installation/instructions page.
hard bricking will happen if you flash something not meant for our phones, need it jtaged to fix it.
soft bricking will happen if you dont folllow devs instructions but is easily recoverable
