[Q] Help with Market

Hello,
I recently installed [ROM]22-01-2012|LC ICS 4.0.3 - 1.0.beta4 | AOSP + CM + COMMUNITY on my Desire HD.
For the first day I had no issues and was loving it, however now I have an issue I can't quite figure out. I can browse the Market but anything I try to installed gets a 404 error. I have cleared the app cache and data and even wiped the Dalvik cache but still get this error.
I haven't flashed GAPPS yet not sure if I should or which version. ANyone else have this and know how to fix it?
Thanks for your time!

Market version?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Build Version 3.4.4

Try downloading market.apk from the web and replace the existing one with that.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

Thanks I have tried that and I get the same error. I have tried to push from my PC through the market, using the market itself and through boat browser all generating the same error.
I just reflashed the ROM as it was working but still getting that error.

I have tried to use enabler but it has changed nothing. I find it odd that I have no difficulty browsing the market, it's just the installs that fail. I have tried to install a younger version as well but Titanium Backup doesn't seem to want to remove it. I appreciate your help thus far!

Well not sure if was the enable r or what, but one thing I hadn't tried was to update an app, and that worked! After that I was able to install fresh apps. Weird. Anyway it's all good, mods can lock this thread and I appreciate your help!

AOKP Provides a Gapps download for each of their releases which includes the standard google apps (Maps, Gmail, etc..) just flash it in recovery and you are set.
You can also use ES File explorer and extract the specific APKs from the GApps zip and place them directly in your system/apps folder. You just need to make sure you set the permissions to RW R R

its annoying why doesnt them put the whole pack and thats it =/

You just might have to download from a random site...this site seems decent http://www.apktops.com/google-maps-6-7-0.html
Just install lookout and it will scan the app to make sure it's ok.

Be careful what gapps packages you download. If certain parts are not signed with the same key as the rom, you will break things.
For example, you cannot use BAMF gapps on AOKP.

Here you go.
I pulled that Maps apk from my AOKP so it should be safe to use as per adrynalyne's warning.
EDIT: What I mean is I am running AOKP and that Maps I downloaded from the Market and is running fine on my phone. So hopefully it should run fine on yours as well.

Market Updater

Hello, I just recently installed a custom ROM (Darkside Evolution 3) on a Galaxy SII T989. I noticed it did not come with the Market Updater app (com.android.vendor.apk) and wanted to know why something like this would not be included, and can I reinstall it. I have a backup from ROM Toolbox of this app, so I can restore it.
Will missing this app not allow me to update either Google Play or my apps automatically?
Thanks.

It should, although you might have a bad download a reflash would probably fix it. A restore would as well I'd think.

Thanks for replying. I actually tried flashing twice, with a full wipe in-between, and still no Market Updater app. I would have posted this question in the actual developer thread for that specific ROM, but seeing as though I don't have ten posts yet, I am not allowed.

Thanks

[Q] CM10.1 trashed my Google account

Hi everyone,
2 days ago, I updated my SGH-T989 running CM10.0 to CM10.1 Experimental. I shouldn't have done it, but at 7am before my first coffee my mind just said "Hey! There's an update to 10.1! Awesome!".
Anyway, it wasn't a good move. Since then I can't log into anything Google. When I go to my settings and look at the accounts, there isn't even a Google account type to add to my accounts. So no Gmail, no Google Play, no anything that requires Google.
Anybody else find this? Can anyone help me get it back?

Did you dirty flash from CM 10 to CM 10.1?

did you flash the correct gapps file for 10.1?
if you didn't, you won't get any google apps.

The question is did he even flash gapps lol

I guess I didn't. I just found a link (goo.im) and am downloading them now. I'll let you know if it works.

Worked. Thanks!
Got them from goo.im/apps

glad it worked!
for future reference, whenever you flash a rom of a different OS number, you usually need to flash a new gapps (google apps) file to get the correct apps for that update.
And a "dirty flash" means you didn't do a factory reset (wipes cache, dalvik, and data) before you flashed the new rom. You should always perform a factory reset before flashing a new rom (unless it's just an update of the same rom), to clear out the old apps and files. Otherwise you can have compatibility issues.

[Q] Rooted my phone, can't flash any roms (I made a huge mistake)

A couple of months ago, I was getting bored of my phone so I decided to upgrade to android 2.3.3. I like it, but I felt like I should root my phone too. Heres the problem, I couldn't get unrevoked to work so I used revolutionary instead. They didn't have my hboot version so I proceeded with one of the hboot versions listed.
Everything went smoothly, my phone was now rooted, and I was able to free up more internal storage. I really wanted to flash a new rom though, so I commenced with the MIUI rom, and ended up getting stuck in a bootloop. I tried cynogen and the same thing happened. I tried a couple of other roms too, but none of them worked. I was just continuously getting stuck in a bootloop. (Yes, I cleared dalvik cache, wipe data etc..)
Has anyone else on the Desire done the same thing as I have? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hard to say what goes wrong on your end. First, I would suggest you to go ahead with stock hboot from http://alpharev.nl/ and flash a newer recovery tool, e.g. this one (4EXT Touchrecovery).
Then try one of VJ's JB roms and post the results.

a2sd is a script that allows you to install apps onto your sd card (specifically an ext partition). This is very useful since the desires internal memory is pretty bad, and with a2sd you can have around 1gb of space for apps. Some roms need an ext partition to work properly/boot.
Follow this guide to make the partition.

It's worth a try. I've seen a lot of people not being able to boot into a freshly installed ROM because they don't have an ext partition.

You should have used titanium backup for backing up your apps.
If u still have a nandroid backup of stock, you could restore it, backup apps with tb, flash the new rom, and finally restore the apps with tb.
Its quite a bit of work though...

I don't have a playstore anymore. I tried downloading it but it wouldn't open. And sorry if I'm annoying you with my stupidity with the whole flashing process :L You have been great help though and I thank you for that.

No play store? Are you sure? Look in system/app. Is there a Vending.apk there? Does it have the right permissions?
