[Q] CM7 with gapps built in?

Hi all,
on my very first flash of CM7, I had to install gapps. All worked well and I was happy.
Since then, every time I flash CM7, I get gapps already installed (yes I wiped all, yes I cleared dalvik cache, I even did the lock/unlock thing in order to clear all data).
I somehow get the feeling that my flashes are not a "clean" install.
did anyone else experience this as well?
thanks...

On your first time on CM7, wipe everything, flash cm7, flash gapps. When you want to update cm7, jus wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the updated cm7. No need to reflash gapps, no need to do a full wipe either.... unless you want to.
-Nexus S

So you mean that from now on. Gapps will always be installed? Even after full wipe/ factory settings?

That's not what he meant. He meant that if you are upgrading CM7, you do not need a full wipe at all.
But after a full wipe your Gapsps should be gone. It's weird that it is still there after a wipe. :S

It's still there after a wipe... is there a way to make sure I full wipe correctly?

Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache: Full Wipe
Wipe Factory: Removes Apps + Settings
Wipe Dalvik/Cache: Wipes the cache but your apps + settings remain.
Wiping factory will delete your Gapps.
Proper way to flash CM7:
1. Wipe Factory/Dalvik/Cache
2. Flash CM7
3. Flash Gapps
4. Flash Kernel (Optional)
5. Reboot
Proper way to upgrade
1. Wipe Dalvik/Cache (Optional)

Upgrading to newer versions will now keep all your data in tact, so gapps will be there etc.

great, I think it's all sorted out now.
just one question though, I've read that CWM dalvic cache wipe doesn't work. Is that true?
If so, what is the best way to wipe dalvic cache and do factory reset (fastboot/adb commands are also welcome..)

It works. Somebody confirmed this, the error that pops up during CWR is SD EXT.
You can check for yourself, run a logcat (search the forum) while the phones booting.

[Q] Stuck on HTC Logo after Flashing Rom (HTC Flyer)

HTC Flyer: Rooted with S-off, with Revolutionary CMW 4.0.1.4
At the first attempt, I flashed the SU.zip and got the tablet working. But then i decided to flash the Leedroid rom.
Within revolutionary, i wipe the data/cache/davche and then flash the new leedroid rom. There are no issues on flashing the rom and it was successful, however when i reboot.... it is stuck on the HTC logo screen. After 20-30 minutes, the tablet just shuts itself off.
Due to this, i decided the wipe again and install a different rom (CoolHoney3D) however same issue. Then i decided to go back to original SU.zip and that is not working now as it has the same issue.
I downloaded the recovery image for the HTC flyer and try to install it with Scottsrom. No LUCK
I believe i am missing a step in the whole process. please let me know what the problem is. I read all the tutorial to do the recovery but i am a noob and couldnt figure it out. sorry for my bad english..
Thanks!

IF you have done a full wipe then you will have to flash again the rom....you have no information in your device....

Which option is full wipe?
I did 3 types of wipe (System/Cache/Dache Cache) then installed the roms again. It said the Rom installed correctly but still got stuck at the HTC screen. Like i said, i installed the original su.zip again and that doesnt work anymore
Another question, do I have to install su.zip first before installing the leedroid rom?

This is what I do when I flash a Rom
Wipe dalvick cache
Format cache
Format data
Format system
Flash Rom

I will try that. Should I.....
1. Flash the SU.zip rom first
2. Flash the CoolHoney3D rom
3. Wipe Dalvik cache
4. Reboot
or skip the su.zip rom

Skip the "su.zip". So just flash the "CoolHoney3D" rom, wipe the dalvik cache, then reboot. You could format all partition before flashing the rom if you haven't already done so. In other words:
- Format partitions
- Flash the rom
- Wipe the dalvik cache
- Reboot

Did you check MD5 before flashing? Could be a bad download.

Usually boot loop issues are due to left overs from your previous rom so,
If you're on CWM recovery , use this ORDER :
1.Reset user data/factory reset
2.Format System
3.Format Data
4.Format Cache
5.Format SD card (back up your important files first)..
Then flash the rom ... Don't wipe dalvik it's already in /data
This applies not just to CM10 , use this procedure to any rom flash or any nandroid restore ...

In such case,you have a problem somewhere else...Redownload the rom check its md5 and try again...Make sure you're downloading the correct rom for your device...

1.Flash kernel using fastboot if there is no flashable zip.
2.You need to wipe all before flashing a new rom,Data,Cache,Dalvik Cache.
