so as i previously posted, i flashed cm7 and lost all google apps. so i downloaded a android market apk file for android to get it back and it worked. now when i select the market app on my homescreen, its says " you must add an accout to the device to continue. do you want to add one now?" so when i click "yes" it closes and goes back to my homescreen. whats going on now. i dowloaded the file from multiupload and it installed perfectly. it seems once i get one problem fixed i run into another. any help would be much appreciated. thanx.

Go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications and erase all data. Then try again. If that does not work uninstall the apk file you downloaded and try installing a new one from www.RCmix3D.blogspot.com

Here ya go ....
Download and flash the universal gapps package ...(for CM7)(top of page in the center )
just click the link ,and the file will download right to your device .
then boot to recovery and flash it just like the rom ....dun
Happy flashing ....g
ok i downloaded the link to my device, now once im in recovery mode, what do i select? do i install zip from sd card? or wipe data/factory reset or what. i just dont wanna **** anything up lol. sorry im a total noob to this.
and when i bring the gapps up in ROM manager, a window thats says " rom pre-installation comes up. and has 1. backup existing rom, 2.wipe data and cache, and 3. wipe dalvik cache. the third is the only one selected. do i need to change any of this?
Install zip from SD card, it could be in the download section of your SD card. That's where mine was.
I.didn't wipe anything when I did it and I turned out OK. But if you get bootloops, pull the battery, boot back into recovery and wipe everything then install.
Btw I'm still learning but its a fun learning experience.

Well it seems like my last post wasnt learned from so now I have to repost it again.
This is the second thread you have opened without searching even after I advised you to do so. a search for "google apps on cyanogen" took me to this
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
As per your posts your new so please spend a few hours reading up before doing anything like running a CM based rom as there are things that only effect CM based roms.
Use recovery to flash things not rom manager (didnt know that was even still used lol)
hell, you didnt even have to leave XDA to find the information....ya know, since its in the FIRST EFFING POST on the CM thread.....

DI14_pick-n-pack_0.2 ROM for the Samsung Mesmerize
I have reworked this ROM to make it a little easier to work with. In the 0.2 version, you will be able to flash the main package without any need to add files like in the 0.1 version. As for the removed apk files, they are now flashable either individually or in packs depending on what they are. I felt this would be an easier way to still get what you want but not having to put things together before flashing.
I still recommend that you take a backup before you flash anything. I am not responsible for any damage you do to your phone while flashing any or all parts of this ROM. I also recommend that you download both the ROM and Addons at the same time so that you do not have to wait for a second download after you have already flashed the ROM.
Also, to be clear since there has been confusion, MMS is 100% functional in this ROM because it uses stock MMS, not AOSP.
*****This ROM contains these apps:
ADW Launcher
Browser
Camera
Clock
Contacts
Gallery
Gmail
GTalk
Latitude
Maps
Market
MMS
Music Player
My Files
Navigation
Phone
Places
Quick Boot
ROM Manager
Settings
Superuser
Task Manager
Titanium Backup
Video Player

*****IF YOU HAVE VOODOO INSTALLED, DISABLE LAGFIX FIRST*****
Download the ROM and Addons. Unzip the Addons and decide which packs you want to flash. Put the ROM and individual Addons on your sdcard and boot into recovery. Flash the ROM first. Then you can flash the Addons individually. When you are done, reboot. If the phone hangs at the boot animation for more than 5 minutes, pull the battery, do three button to get back to recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Reboot and things should be fine.

Awesome! I'm reading up some more on how to flash these roms in and I plan on using this one. I'm new to this and just learning.
I installed ROM Manager and installed "flash clockworkmod recovery" (it said I had to) and then I clicked backup current ROM. I have tried twice, and it said failed each time.
I'm afraid to try it again, as I don't want to ruin my phone.
Any ideas?

Try going in to recovery by turning off the phone, hold the power and volume down button. Once in recovery, select apply sdcard:update.zip. That should get you get you to clockwork recovery. From there select install zip from sdcard and then choose zip from sdcard. Find the zip and flash it.
Let me know if that works.

Thanks. That was my thinking. A lot of people were asking for apps to be put back in to jt's super clean ROM so I figured this was the easiest way that anyone could just drop in what they want and it would be custom tailored to their needs.
Since I've seen over 200 people look at the page but only 2 download the package, I'm thinking that there's got to be something to the hesitation. Feedback is welcome here, and encouraged. If this is too scary and people want something that they can just flash, throw some ideas out to me. I'm definitely open to suggestions.
I think the holidays may have something to do with it. Personally, I plan to use this once I get my phone rooted (for some reason z4root locks my phone up every time) But I want to wait until the rushing, travelling holiday is over because I cant go without my phone =)
I'm happy with the SuperClean Rom and Voodoo 5 right now, otherwise I'd have given this one a shot.
I'm still using this and I have had no issues. I like being able to choose which programs are going to be on my droid, instead of having all or none that I want.
I am getting same errors also..
I have done super one click..
Run Rom Manager and chose ROM it asks to reboot I get error.
When I choose SD update.zip it boots back into a image that has sceens that have black widgets.. All other Samsung and USSC stuff is still there as well as ROM Manager..

You have to do some work on the files to make ROM Manager working.
Get Clockwork Working
That will let you make the backup.zip and install from the SD card. Threw me for a loop as well.
One thing I do not want to lose or at least be able to find in another app is the SMART ALARM ..
I know... I got used to it in just a couple days. Love the way it sort of eased you awake instead of a full on GET UP..
So question would be. Which apk and dependencies would I need to keep and or anyone know of another app that would give me same with more options.
Thats it... A simple (but I want to do it without bricking my $600 phone) ROM flash.
This is the ROM I would like to install:
Stock Sense - 1.13.605.7 Basic DeBloat
Thank you. I give up trying to get help in IRC. Waste of time (except for Dr_Drache, he was very helpful)).
what part do you need help on? are you rooted?
yes, I am already rooted. I had a major malfunction in BAMF 1.6.3 this a.m. when a battery went dead. I replaced the battery and the phone went nuts... So I unrooted the phone and then re-rooted. I couldnt get help in the IRC channel to install this ROM I am asking about so I thought I would try to get some help here.
Thanks for replying.
I am not seeing the question here... Do you have rom manager installed? You could install simply from there. That's how I did my initial rom install.

Just download .zip place on sd card and flash using rom manager or manually on clockwork recovery.

Stock sense basic debloat ROM does not use the GB radio. And to install I would recommend not using rom manager to install it tends to cause problems.

Don't use Rom manager. Download the Rom. Reboot into recovery using Rom manager. Make a backup if you want. Wipe data. Wipe cache. Go to advanced. Wipe davlik cache and battery stats. Go to install zip from SD and select your Rom. When its done reboot.

And ya that's not a gingerbread Rom. Is it based off latest froyo ruu?

I'm still not sure what the question is here...but i'll lay some steps out for you.
FIRST AND FOREMOST: HAVE AMPLE BATTERY CHARGE!! I don't flash with anything less than 50%. If you do, then continue at your own risk.
1. Go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081930 and pick out a ROM you think that you would like. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND ANY GINGERBREAD ROMS. These are still in ALPHA.
2. After you have the ROM downloaded, plug your phone into you computer and put the ROM anywhere on your sd-card. I made a new folder called ROMs and put all my ROMs in there. This keeps things tidy.
3. THIS IS OPTIONAL, but saves you a lot of time in the future. Download Titanium Backup. I would HIGHLY recommend the PRO option. Costs money now, but will save you hours in the future. This program needs root. It will backup all your apps with their data so when you switch ROMs, everything is restored easily and fairly quickly. If you go with this approach, then open TB and backup all USER APPS with DATA. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS!!!
4. If you do not have Rom Manager, Download it now. Free is fine. Open up Rom Manager and make sure you have the latest Clockwork Recovery installed. If you don't, then install it. If everything is fine, click the option to boot into recovery. While some people use RM to install the ROMs, I find its better to do it manually.
5. When in Clockwork, go to backup and restore(hit power or home button to choose highlighted option). Choose Backup and let it do its thing.
6. When done, press the menu key until it goes to the main menu.
7. Choose Wipe data/factory reset and let it wipe the data. Do not worry, this will not touch your sd-card. All your pictures, movies, music, ROMs, and everything else on the sdcard will still be there.
8. Go into install zip from sdcard and choose "choose zip from sdcard"
9. Navigate to where you put your ROM from STEP 2
10. Choose the ROM and let it do its thing
11. Press Menu button to go back to main screen and REBOOT
12. ALLOW LOTS OF TIME TO LOAD UP. First boot always takes a long time, dont worry about it.
13. When booted up, ALLOW EVERYTHING TO LOAD. Now enjoy your ROM.
14. If you used Titanium Backup, get it from the market(if it isn't pre-installed). If you payed for it, you won't have to pay for it again as long as you use the same GMAIL account that you used before. All paid apps are saved to your gmail account. Restore all USER APPS with DATA. NOT SYSTEM APPS!
I am by no means a dev or claim to be a genius. I've been around since when the OG droid first came out and I'm just helping out. I am not responsible if something goes wrong. If anyone see's a mistake in this, please point it out or add a step if you want.

Thanks for the replies. For not knowing what the question was, it sure was answered pretty thoroughly.
I did buy Ti Pro a while back and use it a lot. That should be no problem once I figure out why I am not rooted now. I did the whole routine yesterday and Ti cant get su for some reason now.... yay for that. I guess I will try the whole thing again. (It may be that I need to get the proper busybox for Ti Pro to work and be allowed su)
So if I have read this correctly, I will be alright with the debloat ROM I mentioned earlier right? Since it is not gingerbread based right?
oastl: You said don't use ROM Manager then after one sentence you then say to use ROM Manager.... Using ROM Manager to boot into recovery must be a different thing altogether I suppose...

If you're using CWR (which i think is the only option these days?) you totally can. Just choose "install from SD card" and it'll let you navigate your folders. I have a neatly organized "RUU" folder on my SD card. Certain things like radios need to pushed as pg05img.zip on the root of the SD card.

Like R2 mentioned, a factory data reset might be helpful. You'll lose installed apps, you'll have to re-setup your Google account stuff, you'll lose phone logs, memos, and IMs. Someone else jump in here if I left something out.

- Go back
- Go into "install zip from sdcard"
- Go into "Choose zip from sdcard"
- find where you downloaded drhonk's KD1, and flash it.

Hey guys not sure if this is the right spot but had a question.
I recently flashed cynogenMod 7.2 on my inspire (att) everything was succesfull and i really love the ROM. However, I have no apps now. I did do a search (including the ones that pop up upon creation of this thread.)
I also dont have the market place/google play. I saw a site that claimed you just download the .apk file and move it to the support/apps folder (at least this is what i found worked for some) If i try to install the apps (by going to the site, weather.com for example) it tells me the app is already installed.
I dont believe i backed them up using titanium or anything like that. I just flashed the new rom. (actually flashed a few to see what i liked) If i can just get the market place and install apps from there ill be square.
Again sorry if this is such a noob question. thanks for such an awesome forum!

You can just unzip a rom on computer and take apk out of it in system-app folder. If you have es file explorer use it to install or root explorer to place in right place.
Also if T's not called market if its updated its called play store so you might have it but looking in wrong place blood under p in app drawer.
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
so basically i can take the cynogen zip file, open it on my pc, put the .apk for the google play store, put it in the ROMS syste/apps folder, then replace this zip file for the one thats on my sd card? or will i need to reflash from the new zip file with the google play in it?
I guess you are looking for the Google Apps. They are called gapps. Look in the CM post where you downloaded the ROM. There is a link for gapps.
All CM threads have a link for google apps or Gapps usually in the first thread. Look there. Do a search on google for "Google Play Store 3.5.16 download". Not sure if it is the most recent but it should be close. Just install it like a normal app.
Dang-it, kimtyson beat me by 2.83 seconds. lol
found the correct gapp file but how do i install it?
note: i installed one from an apk file but it crashed everytime i ran it.

alright guys, figured out how to install from the recovery page but its still not working, it all installs fine, but when i run it says 'server error.'
one is an older gapp build the other is the newest one, both did the same thing.
thoughts?

Use the file manager or other root explorer, find the file and keep press...when options prompt then press properties. You will get a large number (alphanumerical) just compare it with the one provided...
If not, use the adb commands...open a cmd session and go to where the file is (usually in the root of the sdcard) then type MD5sum "name of the file"

basically all i did was find a few roms to try out, flashed one, if i didnt like it i would flash the other. one hung up and wouldnt boot so i flashed cynogen back from a backed up installation.
from there ive tried just installing gapps of 2 different types from the option "install zip from sd card."

Also make sure that the GAPPS you are flashing is for the CM version you have flashed....don´t flash CM7.2 and GAPPS for ICS cause it won´t work...
got it figured out, somehow i found a link that listed a ton of builds for the gapps, but then i found 2 seperate links that were to individual builds, those were what i needed. thanks for your help guys!
1) The first Rom I flashed was eagleblood. I put it on my SD card from my computer, then I put the SD card back in my phone and did the rest from there. Can we flash Roms without using the computer like if we download right to our phones on the website and then flash?
2)Eagleblood is the first and only Rom I looked at and flashed so far but after clicking the eagleblood link, there was about 7 or 8 different downloads. I guess I got lucky and chose the right one so I'm assuming the others were updates. So for the future, how do I distinguish between them and know which is the actual Rom download link?
3) Which is the best Rom?
4) How do I get my home screen to show in landscape view since I'm rooted now?
5) When flashing from Rom to Rom, how do I get all my apps, phone settings, and everything else back without having to take an hour to resetup everything? Can you explain the procedure if you are going to recommend an app for this? Right now I downloaded the free version of titanium backup so I'm assuming that would be it. I see where you can back stuff up with this app, but after switching Roms, how do I restore if the flashing of the new Rom will erase titanium?
6) Which apps would you guys recommend uninstalling from eagleblood that wont hurt anything?
Thanks guys.

1. Yes
2. The newest one. Look at the version numbers.
3. That's up to you to decide for yourself. Nobody's preferences are the same.
4.You could have done this before. It depends on what launcher you are using most of the time. Play around in the launcher settings.
5.Get the paid version of titanium. Use it to backup user apps+data. Settings and system apps don't normally respond well to a new rom. After you flash something new, get on the market and just download titanium again. Restore from your backup afterwards. All your apps+data will be back. Your phone settings need to be done manually to avoid errors.
6.If you're unsure about uninstalling apps, get the paid version of titanium and freeze the app instead. If it screws something up then defrost.
All of this info is already here. Poke around a little more.

Thanks for all the answers. How do we do it from phone?
I believe EB has a mobile site, so just navigate to it using your browser and download the appropriate files. They'll wind up on the SD card where you can just flash through CWM.
what ever you download from the browser it'll show up in SD cards/Downloads... it'll be in there and then from there you can move it or you can navigate from the CWM to there

Who or what is "EB"?
As for your answer to number 4......how do you get to the launcher settings? I'm not sure what those are.
EaglesBlood
and some launchers have a custom settings built in some don't, including the stock EB launcher!
