Mine does the same thing idk wassup with that I tried figuring it out but gave up
Funniest thing was I broke my 0003 and got a 0004 signed into my gmail and it gave me all my apps I had on my 0003 everything from script manager to dropbox and the wallpaper was blown up to the max looked all distorted lol

Go to settings>privacy>uncheck 'Back up my data' 'and Automatic Restore'
Sometimes this doesn't take effect until you do it on your next flash so I suggest you flash and the SKIP logging into google on the set up and do the above 1st then go to accounts and log into google.

Its Google backup restoring prior setting. If you skip the setup wizard you can bypass this.

Fixed it by following blizzards suggestion. It started happening after I got off of infected eternity

Same thing happens to me whenever I flash a sense rom. Funny is that all my stuff gets restored before I even log into Google.
I have no issues with it though as it saves me time.

Does it have an option to connect your apps with the market if not made a backup and just download them it should be fine and np

I'm having a similar problem. After the 2.33 update, it FCs when I chose "My apps". I tried downgrading to several different versions, cleared data/cache, wiped cache/dalvik, but no joy. Now, after I press "accept" on initial start, it FCs. Any help?
Thanks.

Update: I used TiBu, wiped everything again, still no joy. I ended up deleting the Market app from Manage Apps. This left the /system/apps version of Market intact, but unavailable to launch. I rebooted the phone, the /system/apps Market became available in my apps list, and it worked. It then automatically updated to 2.33 again and now all is well.
I had similar problem with my htc evo with cm7 rom after flashing a google add on. As soon as you clicked maket it would try to open but then close right away,I tryed to wipe market data didnt work. Did as you sudgested and wiped catch and dalvik catch and reinstalled rom and the previous add on and no problems after that. Thanks
Question I already had a add on flashed after installing cm7 and tryed flashing another one over the other add on. Is that why I had problems with market?
The main reson I tryed flashing the second add on was After flashing the first one I did'nt have a voicemail app. The voice mails would come in a text with a link to hear the message.
Does anyone know a way to get my voice mail back? Thanks

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.

Backing up contacts? Those should be with google good friend. If you're saving them to the phone instead of through Google, well, I don't know why you would do that.
Did you use Titanium Backup at all? That will probably help with apps and their corresponding data. And no, there is no way to get back to your old nandroid without a PC. You HAVE to use Odin to go back to EC05 and from there, after you one-click root, you should be able to restore your nandroid assuming you're still using the same version of CWM you made the backup with.

Go to the market and search CM7 themes. There are tons!
Just install one and then go into theme chooser and apply it! Simple as that!

What is the first thing you do after flashing a new rom?

Just for fun. But who knows, it might help someone out there.
First thing I do is to install titanium backup and restore my preferred keyboard - Swype. There is surprisingly no rom that comes with this as default keyboard. Nobody here uses it?
After that I just check out what the rom has to offer and see if everything's working right. If I like it I start restoring my apps and setting up stuff.
Post yours.

just joking.
login my google account, and sync my contacts. install root explorer, link2sd, reboot, restore apps or data thru titanium, then explorer the rom. oh before i forgot, i text my own number to be sure that i have the correct csc.
and lastly, install opera mini, go to xda, give a feedback. hope it helps, just a reminder, reboot first. hahaha

after flashing new roms, I boot the Phone, then go over all the Android Introductory questions until i get into the phone's menu... after that, I restart my phone. Boot into recovery, and wipe /cache and /data. reboot. and then go over the android questions. Check the hardware if they are still working, and observe if there are any differences.. I then set up my calendar, alarms, ringtones... restore messages from sim card, reinstall apps as APKs. The last thing I do is login to google, then to Samsung for the SIM Change Alert...
First, I get rid of the bloatwares (if any). Then, I restore my apps w/ Titanium Backup. Then, I login to Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

[Q] No Gmail sync, No Google Talk access (Darkside Evolution 3 v5)

Hi, this is my first non-stock ROM so I'm hoping it's a simple fix. Using Darkside Evolution 3 v5 on my Galaxy SII.
My Gmail is not syncing and I can't get Google Talk to work, it says I'm logged in but I'm not "green" and nobody on my friends list is listed as online.
Deleted and re-added my Google account in "Accounts and Sync" but that didn't help. I'm using Google 2-Step Authentication, does that have anything to do with it?
Thanks for any help!

Did you restore Gmail and Gtalk from a backup after you installed the ROM? If so, I'd recommend just un-installing the app and re-installing it from the play store. Lots of times restored apps with data cause problems when going from GB to ICS, even if you didn't go from gb to ics at this point I'd just try to uninstall/reinstall.. Then check account sync settings and make sure they are checked off.

Yes I restored Gmail and Talk from Titanium Backup, went from GB to ICS. I just deleted Gmail and re-installed and it's still not auto syncing, it only syncs when I manually go in and refresh it. Also I didn't delete Talk because I don't see Talk as downloaded app so I'm not sure where to delete it.
I've had this problem randomly with titanium backup too. It's the restore that'd causing your problem, I'd bet. Did the phone sync before you restored with titanium?
I never found a solution, just had to manually restore everything.
Ive had this problem in the past. You have to delete your google account and then put it back.

Yes everything was fine before I rooted and went to the Darkside, I'll bet you're right. What's the most efficient way to do this, just wipe and re-install the ROM?

Well for me the rom works fine until I restore with titanium. I just downloaded all my apps again and let Google restore what it could.
So yeah I would just wipe and re flash the radio and the rom, then not restore using titanium. Alternatively you could just revert back to the stock rom you backed up before flashing darkside.
Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a comon problem of more heavy hitters would have figured out a real solution.

Yeah I'm sure it's my fault and not the rom, just didn't know where I screwed up. I never flashed a radio, is that odd? I like how Darkside performs (battery and speed) so I want to try to keep it, we'll see.
Because all the pertinent data is kept on their servers, i don't back up gmail or voice with titanium, i download them from the play store if not included in the ROM. I have had to go back into the "accounts & sync" to manually turn on the syncing, but other than that no issues. Darkside cache wipe is your friend as well, amazing the "glitches" it fixes.

Ok I'll try a clean wipe and flash with no backup. The original instructions I read didn't suggest flashing a radio, but the official instructions say to do so, which radio should I flash since there are two options?
I think I'm on the uvle1 radio. As i understand it, you can use either one. Try each to see if one works better for you.
