Hi I recently installed the cyanogen rom on my phone. I wiped the data and also the cache before installing the rom. I would like to know how to obtain the android market app. Also I cannot seem to sync my contacts when i try to add my gmail account. It says cannot connect to server. Can some one help me out?
Did you flash the latest gapps (Google apps)?

Hey,
I've switched recently from Oxygen 2.01 to CM7 RC2. I did a full wipe (factory reset/cache). Then I installed the Google Apps and had the problem that I couldn't download from the Google Market. I reflashed the Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) and now I could download from market and had apps like Google Maps.
My problem now is: I can't use Google Mail. The Market says that it is already installed on my device but it's not displayed anywhere on the phone. Neither can I choose it with the ADW launcher nor can I see the app in the settings menu of Android. I already cleared my cache again and reflashed a third time the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Or does someone know how I get to the screen where I can choose which Apps from the Google Apps packet I'd like to install ?
reflash is your best bet
If the market is saying its installed, can you uninstall via the market. Then install it again.

Can't uninstall via Market. I will try to reflash CM7.
Ok! For installation of the CM7, I normally do is wipe, install CM7, boot for the first time, don't install gapps just yet. Enter settings and enable your wifi connection. Now boot to recovery then flash the lastest gapps zip, reboot the phone and should have the apps and screen to choose which apps to install from the market. Well! It happens for the first time you use the market app of course.
That how I do things, hope it will help your situation somehow.
Now I've got Gmail installed. But I had to download the .apk file. Couldn't install it through the market.
Thread can be closed. Thanks to everyone.
Just to let you know, the gapps zip file doesn't include any market apps. It only includes the Market (vending.apk) and the Google Account Sync setup. Everything that is Google you need to get from the market.
You could of tried to have used the web market as well to install it. But seems like you didn't fully wipe it or something messed up.
I fully wiped my device twice. Market said that it was already installed but it wasn't.
Hi ekwinoks
I had promblems with the google mail installation. I found out that the Google-Mail app is not available on the german market. So i used the Market unlocker app to download the mail app.

Hmmmm very weird indeed. Did you try the web market?
i'm on ics 4.0.4 with dman's rooted rom and after a while my calendar stooped syncing to my account. does it happened to others here?
and does anybody got an error while installing from play store an app like this: "incompatible with other application using the same shared user id"?
had issue too. and with gapps. ditched android/stock samsung calender for Google Calender, solved issue, but had other issues. gave up on that rom, and went back to UCLG9 rom.
bumer, i should install the sync from uclg9 instead? maybe from literom apps zip ?
found a solution to the sync problem, just installed the UCLG9 after uninstalling the current version and left the apk as a user app and not system app and it works.
I changed my Bell P930 from rooted ICS to CM 10.1 RC2 but quickly discovered it didn't include any Google apps. I really don't care about most of the Google apps, but I'd definitely like to have Google Play and Maps. I went to the Google Play website but didn't see Google Play as an option as an app to install. Additionally, I didn't find it as easy to add on accounts besides Exchange or email accounts. Is this just what you get or is there an easy way to make it a little bit more like the Android experience I'm used to?
In the meantime, I've restored my CWM backup. I'm not sure what I'm gaining by switching if I lose the ability to easily install apps on my smartphone or sync with my Gmail and FB accounts.
Hoping for a real JB release from LG/Bell but doubting that will ever come!
Thanks for your help.
Did you install the gapps files for CM10.1?

Thanks, I will give this a shot.
cyanogenmod comes with no bloatware so you have to install even google apps if you want them, the link is already there just being clear that it is normal for them not to be there and you are suposed to install them on first install but u dont need to reinstall when updating CM
I upgraded CyanogenMod to 10.2.1 and had problems getting my phone back working, But I finally did with help from DocHolliday77. They problem I have now is, I no longer have Google Play store nor can I download it or any other apps back to my S3. I have tried downloaded GooManger both via the playstore website with my phone plugged in and via my phone thru the website. On the playstore it shows that the app has been installed to my phone, but it isn't there. When I search for my device via the playstore Android device manager it can not find my device even, though I have location services turned on.
Also I have all my old apps (before update) installed on my SD Card & I see them listed, but I can not get to them to re-install from the card. I tried going thru ClockWorkMod Recovery & it doesn't find any apps, only the backup I did after the update download.
Another problem is I can not figure out how to resync my contacts or calendar via gmail. There is no sync button available on my device that I can find.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 on Samsung Galaxy S3
Thanks for any help, suggestions, etc. I have also tried to find answers on YouTube vids.
Did you flash CM GAPPS ?
Hi,
after some troubles with updating the ACE II from Gingerbread to JB and then to Kitkat, the system is finally stable.
Unfortunately I still have problems accessing the google play store/ creating and accessing a google account.
I installed Macław/NovaFusion version of CM11.0 and the appropriate gapp (no matter if I use the same homepage or the cm original)
As soon as I want to create/access a google account nothing happens, as soon as I enter Login and Password it seem as if the internet conncetion fails (just no access there)
I tried to install a newer version of both CM11.0 and the gapps (no mather if mini, micro or...) it didn't help.
Do I have to clear anything before the update, to ensure that the gapps finally work?
Thanks for your help!
