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.

Too bad you weren't rooted because rom manager would have been the ticket
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

You may be able to actually. Brainmaster made a flashable cwm it doesn't work for me sadly. It may work for you though. Give it a shot
I'd post a link but I'm on tapatalk. Search the nexus development forum.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.

Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

Thanks but I have no option in super user to update binary.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

yes you do...open super user, slide your screen to the left, under the info tab look down and tap update binary...so easy a
caveman can do it!

Haha, not on this version Just says it's out of date. I think there's some kind of a flashable zip to update right now.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified

No, thank you. This may help someone in the future.

Galaxy S3 Rom

Hey I am new to custom roms and have recently downloaded the UltimaRom v8.1.1 rom to my Galaxy S3. It runs great but there is a new update to v8.1.2 and after downloading from the phone it downloads a zip file and asks me if I want to reboot into recovery. I am wondering how to apply the update as it is only about 16mb so I didn't want to open the zip in recovery unless this is the right thing to do? Thanks for help in advance
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

if it's a zip file then flash it in recovery mode, since it contains system files that can't be replaced/updated while the android processes are running

Okay does it matter about the size of the zip file?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

is there a thread for that specific ROM? if so, have you asked in there?

I have not seen one as of yet but I will continue searching!

so where did you download this UltimaRom 8.1.1 from?

Preferred kernel flasher apk.

I have used franko.kernel updater before and I really like being able to flash and backup a kernel from within the app, I have not flashed a custom kernel on the nexus 5 since I got it so the question is:
What good alternatives are out there to flash kernels from the phone itself?
Thanks.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

Falsify if it's an image file. Your recovery if its a zip.

I totally forgot I could flash a kernel via recovery, I also downloaded "kernel tweaker" from the play store and it seems nice.
Thanks

Why don't you just use FKU?

I used it when I had a nexus 4 a long time ago, I was looking for a new alternative just to see if there was anything better.
