Hello all,
I installed the excellent barebones v1.5 Rom yesterday and was very happy with it.
all that was missing was the google apps, so i installed them via a zip file.
my issue is that it upgraded the market app to 2.3.6 and it will not open. does anybody know what apk i can install to make the market app work again?

Nope. It will not work (saying without checking it).
But you can always backup the things and check anything.

Tip how make Gmaps usable
anyone got an issue with new gmaps on CM7 stable or nightly. The best way we can do is delete data and uninstal gmaps ten download attached apk and instal it. (then don't upgrade) leave at this version.
Is the older version of Gmaps 5.0 but works well on CM7 or other Gbreed roms.
Your choice to use the newest one with font issue and laggy or use older without all features that have new version but work smooth and fonts are clear.
I hope that help some users.
Sorry for my bad english.
Good info really.
Font is very clear and even the scrolling is very good. This should be the temporary option for those who worry about Google maps.

Thank you very much, you're a life saver.
I use google maps on a daily basis.
Using the old version of the maps does it. Thanks for the suggestion and attached file.

What features is lost in this version compared with new one? Is map cache available in this version?
Did anyone check the maps font issue in 2.2 sense custom roms. I think it was there in sense roms too. Just checked a sense rom.
Maps font issue maybe not the issue with cm7 as everyone is thinking.

I reinstalled the stock rom and am on the latest maps and I don't have any issues with the fonts.

The best way to make Gmaps clear ans usefull on CM7 is faind a way how we can extract Gmaps from stock rom and create .APK
If anyone can do this Gmaps will work well on newest version
the difference name of file is on CM 7 5.6.0 gmm-android-google on 2.2 stock is 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc probably if we got 5.6.0 gmm-android-htc then if we update to newest version we got a tweaked version by htc to work well on low resolution screens.
I'm interesting the problem occurs in othert low res android device like motorola flipout and some others

Answering my own question: no, this gmaps doesn't have map cache. Its too old.
I think that the problem with the fonts is related with 3D buildings on maps. Maybe this is the cause of lags on scroll, too.
I dont need 3D buildings, because I dont see any reason to it, but map cache is important to me. I'll try to find an intermediate version with cache and without 3d, and lets see...
Edit: My bad. 5.0 already have 3d buildings and cache also. Maybe its related with screen size.
I tried to install the older version of google maps but I don't manage to make it work. After I installed it the application stopped unexpectedly.
What can I do ?
EDIT:
I solved it, something strange (at least for me) happened, I was unable to uninstall the previous version 5.8 even with root uninstaller. I then browse with file manager in system/app and try to delete the map file but some problem can't delete it. Then I installed Titanium Backup and converted google maps into an app, moved it to SD and then uninstall it with success. I install the 5.0 and now I have a smooth app
maybe this will help somebody.

Hi,
Try to delete the cache of the market app.
It's a beta rom. Things like that are to be expected...
Guys, I need the latest APK for CWM's ROM Manager for Desire Z (the app that opens up just like any other Android app) ... I would have downloaded it from Play Store, but there's some internet connectivity issues with my ISP these days, because of which Play Store is not opening for me .. I need ROM Manager because I want to backup my current ROM, before I try to shift to another ROM ..
I did try looking here, but I didn't find any APK file as such, so kinda confused ..
Also, I have already rooted my Desire Z, in case you're wondering
The link to the APK is right at toe top of the page you linked. Just click on the ClockworkMod icon.
wow .... how could I have missed that ?!
Anyways, my internet seems to be working fine now anyways, so I just got it off Play Store
i see a lot of people are having trouble with the most recent update of Handcent SMS, myself included. basically what i am wondering is if i can somehow undo this update and rollback to a previous version. the current version is 4.6.1 and the one i would like to go back to is 4.5.
Thanks!

See if you can find that version on Google
You can't undo an app update, however you can uninstall the app, search for it's apk version on Google and install it. But then it won't be linked to the Play Store and you won't receive updates for it. For example, you can find the 4.5 apk here (link is after the overview section). The only reason I'm providing you a link to download is because it's a free app. Links to apks of paid apps must never be provided.
