First of all, wrong forum. Try Q&A. Or reply on the thread dedicated to CM6, that would most likely be more appropriate.
Second of all, there is a separate zip to flash for google apps. It is at http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/ ... you can either use the regular mdpi or the tiny (regular has a few extra apps, like Car Dock.
Third of all, google contacts are included in google apps.
Finally ... please search prior to asking a question, let alone beginning a new thread dedicated to that question.
sorry like i said I am noob.

[Q] Using app from another device?

Hope this is the right section as I posted this in the Epic 4G General section and had 50 views and no replies lol
"Ok I'm looking to spend free time trying to port apps and widgets to the epic. So are there any threads to instruct and teach me how to get into this Want to "sign"? a widget so I can use it on my epic
So I've tried to search and havent found a post in here or the dev section on how to do this. Can someone please assist me in finding the right place to start?
Thanks
"
That was the question originally
Any help is appreciated.
Is this thread where I need to be looking?

Thanks again
Bueler?.....Bueler?
I think that you don't need to resign the apk.... just install them..... if they don't work maybe is because they need resource not avaible on phone or different from the original
Thats the thing tried to just install and it fails, tried pushing it to system/app and it doesnt work tried pushing to data/app dont work either argh lol

MIUI.us warning for latest version

Don't flash the latest miui.us version from ROM manager. I just flashed it and there's no keyboard. Can't input text to sign in or do anything!
This is not development. You could of just posted that in a existing MIUI thread.

Thanks for that helpful advice. I chose to post here where someone might see it easier and save themselves the aggravation that I'm now going through. I knew that I would hear from a forum snob but if I save someone from flashing then its all good .
What's aggravating about just restoring your recent backup?

This has nothing to do with development. It's your personal comment. What if someone else that has used ROM Manager and updated successfully? You never confirmed with anybody else. You would do this by posting in a existing MIUI thread (preferrably the one you downloaded the ROM from)

There should be a rule on ignorantly posting spam about someone's thread. I'm sure there is a way to report a thread if you are so inclined.
Furthermore MIUI.us often has issues. They don't just translate, they change **** up. I've flashed them plenty of times before with differences that shouldn't happen. I always use MIUI Android. Made by UK but its exactly the same language wise and they don't change anything; they just translate it, deodex and what have you.

I can load hboot screen by pressing and holding down the volume down and power button. how can i get the 4.0 or 2.3.7 back?
Thank you
Read the stickies and use the search function please. Do you really think you are the first person to ask this?
Also, when you do ask questions, give more info about your phone so the guys who know what they're doing have a chance of working out what's wrong. :banghead:

Dont be a fool here. When people asked you to search, is because very similar or exactly the same questions/issues have already been asked, discussed and solved. And when people ask u to give more info, provide it eg, hboot, s-off, relocked.

Thanks Rain - you getting in there meant that I didn't go diving in and ripping the OP a new one for his attitude. I almost expect it from a newbie, but not from someone who has been on XDA for 7 years (even if they haven't exactly participated much). I guess that with him having not posted anything for almost the whole 7 years he probably hasn't been on here and is a virtual noob anyway.
I really don't understand why people are unable to firstly search and secondly to follow instructions given when they ask for help

I lost my imei when flashing stock rooted rom

im sorry if this is the wrong place to post...but the other parts of this forum dont get enough traffic.
I lost my imei when flashing stock rooted rom. I made a backup but when the phone restarted..the backups got erased. I dont know why this happend!! this is the worst case scenario. I tried flashing the stock rom from samsung dot com via odin....my imei still isnt restored!!
any other way i can get my imei restored even though i dont have a backup?? thanks in advancee
maybe this thread can help others with similar issues
So..
You ignored the installation and the forum instructions... ok.
I highly recommend the box at the top labeled "search".
Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
Good luck with that.

Fixed it for you.
Thread reported to be moved. Many of us worked really hard to get a forum for this device, so I'm sorry if I sound a little peeved when I see CRAP like this in the dev section.

I can understand why you would be peeved. But i used the search function. and found multiple ways of solving my problem. But none of which worked for me.
I was installing paid apps in other tutorials to try and fix my imei issue, and ended up with deadend after deadend. and furthermore..most of the guides werent specific to my phone. I didnt want to make my phone a "superbrick". I knew better than to post in the dev section...but i acted purely out of fustration and desperation. the user "orange808" was kind enough to point me in the right direction.
i know that doesnt justify it...but it wont happen again! i apologize
I appreciate all the devs hard work on this phone.
