[Q] Google Apps on a CM7 ?

I flashed CM7 and gapps.
Now i was wondering how i can get the google apps?
Google Maps
Google Latitude
Goggle Mail
etc.
(would like all the google apps that came originally with the phone)
I'm new to the whole Desire world

I may be wrong with this so please wait til someone confirms but i think you can remove the apks' from another downloaded ROM and install them to your own. Just download the zip file of a seperate ROM find all the APK files you need and install ....
Not sure if any of these files have extra files on the ROM that you need to move with them so like i say please wait for someone with more knowledge to respond

my mistake didnt read the post fully

You can download them from Market.
That's why they're not included in gapps.

I didn't find it in market.
So i re-flashed the CM7 and gapps and got the menu where i can choose what i want to download. But it aswell couldn't find maps and gmail.
I had created .apk for all google apps of oxygen so everything works now.
Thanks for the help

That sounds very strange.
I flashed last night my HTC Desire to CM7, and flashed the gapps universal dpi.
With the first boot I was asked which Apps I would install and Maps & Latitude are downloaded from the Market.
Maybe you had the wrong gapps installed...

Same problem here. I installed the same way as you did, got the same install menue and some google apps were installed.
But not Maps and Earth.
So I tried via market. I find Maps and Earth in market but when I try to download, nothing happens. Can't DL, so can't install.
Tried Nightlies 25 to 33 with same result.
Also tried full wipe, but nothing changes....

I have a question about installing gapps. I found my gapps here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
how do I flash them? do I wipe all data/cache/dalvik first just like on done with the ROM?

Dont know about problem. Try downloading apks from internet via browser.

No need to wipe.

Ok thanks
quick question again lol
I'm with alltel but my ROM says US Cellular..does that make any difference?

i had the same problem with CM7 #34 on the first try (only cleared data/cache before flash)
gapps universal start up just fine, but failed on downloading maps
also when trying later directly from the market the download failed without any error, it just stopped..
cleared data/cache & dalvik cache and reflashed CM7, after that it worked fine..

Very strange, I have no such problems with flashing the google addon.
I have downloaded CM7 Nightly #32 last week, and am going to flash a newer version soon.
Good luck everyone.

That solved the install problem
Still don't understand why I could not install via CM G-Apps or Market, but anyway....
Thanks!

That's probably because you are not in the US and not all apps are available everywhere. E.g. GMail isn't available, for whatever STUPID reasons, in the German market for me.
If you want it, all you can do is getting an app called "market access". It will allow you to emulate a SIM card from T-Mobile US and then you have access to everything.

[Q] Flashed CM7.2. Got Market error.

I downloaded the Vision ROM and used ROM manager to flash 7.2. For one, it only found 10 of my apps in the market. But when I tried to install Titanium (or any other app), I got an error. I tried rebooting once and then clearing market data, but it was of no use. Any suggestions?
Someone suggested that it is gapps issue and that the previous 613 worked fine. How does gapps work? Are there more features in the later versions of gapps? Should I flash the ROM and gapps back to back in Recovery?

You can try that, if it fails delete the Vending apk from /system/app or overwrite it.

you can try going to the android market website, logging in and try installing the apps remotely. Sometimes if this works after a few hours the install from the phone starts working also.

What ROM were you running before you flashed 7.2 ? Was it an earlier CM or a different ROM ? Because if it was a different ROM you should have wiped before you flashed.

I was on CM7.1 Stable.

I had a weird problem with the market (google play) too where it just force closed each time i opened it. To fix that, i just went to app management in settings and i uninstalled all the updates for the market, i then opened the market, went to the homescreen, waited a few minutes and google play was back. Since doing that, i haven't had any problems.
Maybe doing the same on your phone could fix the issue.

I tried doing this again. This time I went into CWM and did all the cache wipes and did a factory reset. Same error. I even tried to flash gapps 613 version and that also would not let me download apps.
I am trying to understand how the market works. It shows me all my purchased apps on the new ROM. What about my free ones? I know I can get it back from Titanium, but is that the only way?

maybe try fixing permissions (had a guy come to #g2root having some problems with the market, and fixing permissions worked for him)

Ok got it to work! I flashed the ROM, went straight to Manage Applications and deleted App data under market. It works now. I wonder why.

Odd Kindle / Jelly Bean / Gapps issue

Recently put Jelly Bean on my Kindle - JB flashed, using TWRP, fine and runs great. Gapps will NOT flash, no matter which I use; it fails using TWRP each time, even after clearing cache and even redoing the whole install process.
I figured I would just sideload the Google Play store and any others I needed, but Google Play will not open once installed; it pops open for a split second then closes. I read that installing Talk and signing in would fix this, but after sideloading Talk it does the same thing.
So it seems no Google apps will sideload properly and I also am unable to flash any gapps.zip's.
Any idea? Did I miss something obvious?

Depends...are you using the CM10 gapps?
Also, what version of TWRP are you using?

Yes, CM10 (tried others too) and TWRP 2.

2.0? 2.1? 2.2?
Also, are you checking the md5s? It's a longshot but worth looking into.

Which version of gapps are you using?

TWRP 2.2 is what I'm using.
Not sure the gapps versions, but ive tried about 5 different ones. All from July and August.
What would I be checking in the md5's exactly?

TWRP 2.2 is still quite new and it is yet unknown of all the bugs that may come with it. Have you tried an earlier version?

Did you find a solution to your problem yet?

Hi sleep_debt, I was wondering if you have found a solution to this problem yet. I am also having a problem getting access to Google Play. I've tried loading multiple versions of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk, etc. I am able to get them to install, but when I open the "Market" icon it prompts me to create an account and sign in, but it is never able to make the connection. I am also confused by references to the "Google Play" store. I don't have anything called "Google Play" I only have an icon called "Market". So, I think I'm missing something, but I don't know what.

Which ROM did you use? The two ROMs I have tried both had an accompanying gapps zip file. I'm using TWP installed by KFU 0.9.6. I installed cm-10 from sgt7-linaro and jdaycane 1.7.2. I flashed the gapps ROM at the same time using TWRP and had no issues.

Not sure what this issue is, still - have tried every gapps & TWRP version I could find, but TWRP also throws an error when trying to flash gapps.
Also, sideloading the gapps just doesnt work, either, making me think the actual OS flash might be damaged? Been busy lately but plan on just flashing another OS and seeing if that clears it up.
If anyone has any other tips, it would be much appreciated!

Update:
Spent the weekend trying to re-root, flash Jellybean/Gapps to no avail. Same results (when Jelly bean is installed, Gapps will not flash using TWRP 2.2.2). I then wiped everything, leaving only TWRP. Cleared all caches, etc and tried to re-flash Jellybean; now NOTHING will flash successfully and there is no OS anymore, just TWRP.
How can I get an OS back on if TWRP isnt cooperating?

What errors do you get when trying to flash gapps or ROMs?

i would try adb installing twrp 2.2.2.1 and then flashing a rom, i read that the update fixed some issues that your probably having.

That's the version of TWRP I'm using; the error I'm getting when flashing anything is:
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip 'whateverthefileis.zip'

TWRP errors
I agree with nmaiorana, cm-10 from linaro is not throwing errors like you seem to be running into. Latest version I am using is: 10-20120831-2228. the gapps v that works with this rom is: gapps-jb20120726. In TWRP after clearing cache and dalvik cache, goto to Install, click on the ROM you want to install, then go back to install and click on the gapps file, then slide the button to the right. You can install multiple flash files this way in TWRP. See if that works.

If you've tried reinstalling every version of TWRP and you have tried installing different ROMs and they all return the exact error you posted, try this:
fastboot oem format
...and then reinstall TWRP. If that doesn't work, fastboot may not be working to correctly flash information to the recovery partition. If that's the case you may need to replace your bootloader, but not with fastboot. TWRP probably wouldn't work either and you don't want to open the case to do the shorting trick unless you have to.
My suggestion would be to use adb to install TWRP and see if that makes a difference. If that works and you can flash ROMs normally, replace your bootloader right away.
At least that's what I would try.

Pull the recovery log and see if it gives you more details on what's causing the flash to fail...
Attempt to install the gapps package. After it fails, run the following adb command
Code:
adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log recovery_log.txt
You'll find the recovery_log.txt file in your current working directory. Copy and paste the contents of the log file into pastebin.com and share the URL here.

[Q] CyanogenMod Play Store removed?

Hi, I just installed CyanogenMod,but the problem is the Play seems to be missing... I tried installing the apk I found within my directory, but with no avail, it would just open and close almost immediately.
Any/All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Toy need to install the gapps packages for your specific version of cyanogenmod. The gapps don't cone pre installed

Thanks, I installed those, and now the keyboard that came with CM10 will not work and constantly tells me it has crashed. Rendering the phone unusable. I then installed a custom keyboard, (found an APK) and signed into my google account, but the phone now will not use the home button, and the google sync and google services won't work.

Do a factory reset, flashing the Rom then the gapps package, then reboot.

^ gesture typing =D
back to OP
you need to install gapps
and the error you got after is because you need to wipe and then reinstall the rom and gapps
you can't just flash gapps after started the rom

It's the factory TouchWiz rom and yes it was a fresh 4.4 kk install and I did root it could it be the host file? Cause I did another fresh install and all the apps work fine now except Google play store I've tried uninstalling it and then downloading the new version and putting it in system/apps giving full permissions for install then restarting my phone and nothing seems to be working. I did mess with the host file awhile ago but I did a fresh install again.

I don't see what a host file would have to do with all of your apps crashing, but then again doing a full wipe and reinstall should fix it if it was something you did with a file. Maybe you have a bad image? Could always just try going to your recovery doing a full wipe without reflashing and see if that fixes anything. Is the play store just force closing or what?

Yeah its just the Google play store and I've already done a full wipe first it was all the Google apps force closing literally now it's the playstore
