[Q] Google Mail not available in CM7

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.

Worked fine for me . Your phone has to be rooted...

from your link ,
I didn't work continue on
12. Go to market, clear cache and force stop (DO NOT CLEAR DATA)
13. Go to Google Services framework, clear data and force stop
14. Open market, and you should get an error. (This is good)
15. Restart phone again.
since it's not error on that step, but it's work well now.

Google Play keeps FC'ing

Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store

no luck.

Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.
What rom are you using?

okay last one that i think worked on me before:
- turn off internet first, then uninstall updates on Play store
- reselect language again,
- turn data/wifi on back, wait for Market to update to Play store

I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.

Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

Sandvoid ICS 0.13 rom, google play store doesn't load images

Hi all,
My HTC Desire with Sandvoid Beta 0.13 rom works greate except the google play store. It doesn't load images both in wifi and 3g mode. I tried to clear data but no luck. When I flash new rom, I formated all except the sdcard.
Does anybody have same problem or have solution?
Thank you.

which version do you use exactly? 0.13 or 0.13.1?
i have 0.13.1 and everything works perfectly. i just checked the market.
did you discover any other bugs or missing images, in other applications?
and have you tried to wipe data + cache again, and reinstall the rom?

I use version 0.13, not 0.13.1
I did "format all partitions (except sdcard)" before flash this rom.
I just tried to wipe cache + david and reboot (not reinstall the rom because I did format all partitions before install) but it doesn't work. I can use browser to browse the play store correctly, images display.
Is there any way to check what exactly error is? some kind of error log?
Thank you.

well, if your web browser shows the pictures correctly, then try to update your google play.
i think 3.5.19 is the latest version:
http://www22.zippyshare.com/v/99932187/file.html

I think I use latest version of play store (3.5.19).
I used the Android system info app to check the logs and got many logs about one application connect to a server with very long waiting time (~30 seconds). The servers are lh*.ggpht.com with * is a number 3, 4, 5...
I check that domain is belong to Google inc. I think those are images that is not able to load.

i don't know much about log files, but the one above looks fine.
try the following (if not already done):
go to settings -> apps -> all apps -> google play -> clear cache
and then tell me if anything happened ^^

I tried but no luck.
Btw, I confirm that those urls in log file are images from google play store. But I can't load them on both of my phone and PC. I think it's network problem.

that's strange, since you said it occurs on both wifi and 3G.
i can access those thumbnails without a problem.
maybe you should restart/reconfigure your wlan router?
otherwise i'm out of ideas

Thank you. I'm asking some helps from my friends to check if it's my ISP problem or not.

Now I can confirm that it's my ISP poblem. So we have nothing to do.
Thanh you for your help.

good to know.
can be closed ... or whatver

If you still have this problem, for me clearing the data and cache of the download manager did the trick.

It doesn't help.

I know it says a different version then what I listed, but that is what I installed. Maybe it updates, not sure.
I am getting it's number from the Settings -> Apps listing. Check yours, see if it's the same.
Can't explain the number difference, seeing as I don't have any other google apk's any where else, so I know for sure I installed those from that how to.

I have the same pbl with play store. Pls guys I need a permanent fix for this error. I have already cleared the cache and data but its not working. I am using the latest version of playstore
5.0.32. Pls I need a solution for this...
Thnx in advance

Did you install the Xposed Installer? Pretty sure that is needed for the google store to work. Otherwise, sorry, don't know why you wouldn't be connecting.

Drove me crazy.. but i still haven't figured what the prob was.. but i un-installed and installed the play store (manually via adb) couple of times and it worked

Don't you love it when stuff does that?

Great discussion. Thank you all for your efforts. My problem is I can't get past the log in screen it says the account on this "phone" all ready exists??? Not sure how I can clear the cube other than a total factory reset. Rather not.
