I am running cynogenmod 7 and my gmail wont sync to my phone so i cant sync my contacts, is there a way around this dont want to type in all these number's
Did you happen to install the gapps? They are required to get the Market and the possibility of downloading Gmail, Maps, etc.

i did but it must not have installed but i did select it before flashing the rom. how do i do that without re-flashing phone?
If you can see the market, just go ahead and run it then search for Gmail and install. If you can't see the market, you will need to re-flash the gapps. If you have to re-flash the gapps, you don't need to wipe data or reflash CM. Just go to recovery and flash the gapps. Also be sure to check your Settings->Accounts & Sync and make sure you have a Google account setup.

how do i get the g-apps if it's not on my sd card to flash ?
Click here to download the gapps. You want the one labeled 20110613 Universal in the matrix at the top.

If you're gmail is installed and it's just not syncing, go into Settings>Applications>Gmail and clear the data and cache. I've had issues when changing roms where it wouldn't sync quite right and this usually fixed it.

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.

Ok I flashed cm7 rom doing the delete data/cache thing and it installed fine. My problem is that I could not get it to sync with google and their was no app for the android market so I couldn't download any apps. Is this rom suppose to download over the top of an existing rom without doing the delete data/cache thing?
Oh, I think I need to do the install goodle apps option during install. Why is that even an option?
Nope, I'm still stuck.
so i decided to flash the latest nightly of CM9 through clockworkmod recovery and everything was going good, i proceded to flash a mod for the status bar. once again proceded nicely. i decided to go into the market and when i do it closes immediately. it doesn't even finish the screen transition... i also tried with gmail and had the same problem. i made sure i had the latest gapps (2012,03,04). When i flashed the new rom i cleared the cache and dalvik cache. i did not wipe/factory reset because it is just an update and not a whole new rom. when i open the "people app" it says that i dont have any contacts and id doesn't give me an option to sign into my google account. (it never did even after i flashed the new rom)
UPDATE: when i go under accounts & sync and hit add account i only get 4 options (corporate, Dropbox, Email, Facebook) i dont get an option to add a gmail
can anyone help? thanks and ask questions if you need something explained better.

It seems u ain't getting me ...All am saying is u have to reflash the gapps again so do this
1)Reboot into recovery
2) On cwm navigate to MOUNT AND STORAGE click on it
3) Mount both DATA&SYSTEM
4)Go back & reflash the gapps zip & reboot

I use http://goo.im/devs/teameos/roms/eos3/gapps the latest gapps here. it gives synced picassa/google+ photos. I have not tried flashing over the gapps that is in rom manager so I can't say if you will need to wipe or not.

This worked! Thanks !
So last night i flashed a rom and when it installed i tried to add a google account. I tried to add an existing account. when i added my information it says that i couldn't sign in" there was a problem communicating with google servers." this means that i can't go into the play store. so i went into the TWRP menu to reflash a rom and it doesn't recognize the .img file that is on there. so basically right now i an app-less. any help is welcomed
i still can make calls and text, and my wifi still works. just no connection to google
my device is HTC One M8 AT&T (rooted and boot loader unlocked)
and i have a Mac computer if that helps
Delet your existing Google account from your phone.
Go into Settings > Apps > All and clear cache and data on all Google services:
Play Store, Play Services, Maps, G+ - the works.
Then restart and try again to add your Google account.

I put Android Revolution HD as the rom i tried to install. Its not the first time i installed this particular rom. I didn't have an issue last time. I'm not sure i did a clean install as I'm pretty new to this

That could be it then. Something left behind from another rom install.
As a general rule, if you switch between roms - even from the same base - I would always clean install. Only updates of the same rom are ok to dirty flash.
For a clean install (if you have TWRP) just choose Wipe and swipe the button, then re-flash the rom. You will have to install your apps and tweaks again, but that's a small price to pay for everything working.

I figured it out. Basically because I used my Mac to transfer the ROM to my phone it was unzipped and that made twrp not see it as a ROM its all fixed now
