Gmail.apk - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello pplz. I installed CM 7 mod over the weekend. All went well except for the gapps. I downloaded the gapps from the provided link and flashed it using recovery. But gmail, market and goggle maps failed to install. And they were also not be shown in the market. I searched the net and found the apks of all. Market and maps were installed successfully and gmail gives the error of application not installed.
Then using root explorer I copy the gmail.apk to the system folder n still smell problem.
Please tell me a way to install Gmail
Apk.
Thanks

Were you using a different ROM before? And if so did you wipe before installing CM7?

yes did both the things

Check the permissions and you need to be s-off if using root explorer.

That is strange then. Personally, I successfully installed CM7 and then (during the same session within recovery) Google apps and had no problems whatsoever.
What kind of error message did you receive when flashing Google apps in recovery? Did you confirm that checksum of the Google appps file was correct?
And are you sure you downloaded this file:

And no some other by a mistake?

Youtube installation unsuccessful

I have uninstalled it with Titanium Backup (Youtube.apk disappears from /system/app), rebooted, tried to install but has gotten "Installation unsuccessful" instead. Upon rebooting Youtube.apk magically re-appears.
ROM: OpenDesire
same here, running miui.
It's the same issue that affected Maps, etc. Updated fine on RCMixHD btw, installed over the top of the stock app via the Market

Installing over stock app doesn't work on OpenDesire, neither does uninstalling and rebooting.

please explain in steps how to do that! id be very grateful
Okay I wiped my phone and installed DeFroST instead. Had not used DeFroST for a long time.
and now it works?
Adb is kinda long try this first see if it works, replace the YouTube apk in gapps(system/app directory) with the new YouTube apk and flash gapps(with the new YouTube).

just S-OFF your device, which enables REAL write access to your system and you can uninstall. with S-ON, you cannot write to /system and other partitions - the SPL denies that.
Use titanium backup to delete it, reboot your phone then install it.

Ganjdroid, he already did that and it didn't work for him :/

With Titanium backup it only works for S-OFF phones for all other :
reboot to recovery
mount system partition
plug in to usb
open terminal and wirte:
adb shell
push C://Downloads/Youtube.apk /system/app/
or use Android Commander Instead.

[Q] Android Market on CM7

I've been googling about how to get the market in the CM7 rom for about two weeks , first I downloaded the market as a normal app , just got the apk and it doesn't work , then I read about that "gapps" package that I've flashed and no market appeared , I've just got three aditional applications : google search / car home / news and weather.
Looking for help getting thr market , thanks in advance.

Here you go. The newes Android Market. Just install the apk file on your phone.
You can complain about the absence of market after doing two things.
One is flashing the universal Google apps package for cm7 from recovery. And the second is signing into Google account on your phone. I hope you have done both.
And simply flashing the apk file may not install the market when there is no market on phone.
You can also check with a file manager whether or not there is "vending.apk" in the path "system/app".

How to get HTCtwitter to work again?

I deleted com.htc.twitterwidget.apk and twitter.apk about a week ago and then I found I needed them back.
I got them from LeeDroid's HD port rom zip (the one I'm using now) put them into /system/app and /data/app but they don't show up in the app drawer with all the other apps, not even a reboot of the device.
What I want to do is add my twitter account to friendstream and am having no luck thus far.
Your suggestions?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twitter.android
For friendstream you would have to copy it to /system/app and set permissions.
no twitter for android r not htc twitter
u can un zip the rom and search for htc twitter and install it again

Did you get an error message? What did you do to install the app?
TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
Maybe heck the permissions of the apk's when you placed them in the system folder then maybe clear dalvik and cache so it can rebuild everything including the new apk's.
Or just reflash the ROM again?

If all else fails I'll do just that, thanks.
Sign apk and try to install it again. If this does not work, move the apk to /system/app. If you are s-off, you can do this in runinng system with e.g. root explorer; if you are still s-on, you hav to do it via adb. Now reboot your phone.
But make nandroid backup before, just in case.
I reflashed the ROM as none of the above worked.

Gaaps MIUI
will this version of Gaaps work with MIUI ROM ?
Work on all CM7 androids?
AW: [TUTORIAL] Install Gaaps for Cyanogenmod7, Market and Google apps.
Some ROMs have their own recommended GApps so check first in your ROMs thread. If not, you can just browse goo.im for the latest GApps. Make sure, it's the right package for your Android version. Jb = jellybean, gb = gingerbread. For the flashing you can follow the guide above.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Thank you.
I will be an ungrateful dude if I do not thank you for this download. I was on Jelly bean on Lg P500 but had to downgrade to Gingerbread because I was not enjoying it much. But when I did, google apps was missing, and you provided a solution.
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Please will you marry meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Haha!!!:highfive:
GApps for gingerbread
Thanks alottt

I have the same problem and yes, using a file explorer there is no Play store at system/app.
Is it possible that there is no Play store or Market until I setup a google account on the device (because at the moment I'm right after factory reset, so there is nothing on the phone)?

I downloaded the proper gapps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, wipe data / factory reset, install gapps, reboot. Then now it's working. I don't know what happened previously after the first factory reset (it was from the menu, not from recovery).
:/
I've been trying that for a while now, and I still can't use Google Play Store.

For the camera part it looks like a battery problem... Have you checked the md5sum of the ROM before flashing it?

If you are using linux open the terminal and navigate to the folder where you have downloaded the ROM and type: md5sum nameofROM.zip. If you are using windows, search the internet for some kind of md5sum checker and install it or you could check it on your android phone via the app called hashdroid.
Compare the md5sum with the one you can download from Musta's site. To open that file in windows, just add .txt to the end of the name and open it with notepad.
