[Q] Problem: No market after flashing and installing cm7 - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, Had a quick search of the forum and cant find anything similar to what my problem is..
After flashing and installing cm7 I was suprised to see that I had no market/market had not installed.
I downloaded an android market app, however when I go to open it it says "You must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?"
If I press yes, it goes no where and market closes.
However in settings I have had a look at adding an Account to the phone through Accounts/Sync..
When I do this, It asks for my email address and password which I enter..
After entering the details, It takes me to a "server settings" page which is already filled out for me, but when I press next, I get "setup could not finish, unable to open connection to server"
Can anybody please help me figure this out!? Would be much appreciated!
Matt

Well to me its obvious you DIDN'T as there's plenty of people had the same problem as you, myself included when I first jumped in with two feet and flashed cm7 without even reading what I was doing! Only difference is it took me about 30 seconds to figure out that I needed to flash Google apps and I don't believe for one second that you searched anywhere before posting this so I'll let you make up the time by finding out how to do that yourself.

did you flash latest version gapps ?

Thanks shemulweb, That's exactly what I needed to do.
As for you scratch.. I have no problem with you "leaving me to do it" as I know exactly what to do now. Just because I couldn't find anything on it or typed in the wrong search keywords does not mean you have to come across stuck up. I'm not a noob, I don't need people to show me how to do things. I just missed a step in the process.

Sorry mate just p's me off answering the same questions repeatedly, especially when its been asked thousands of times in the cm7 thread and here.
A little tip I've learnt for searching is on Google type what you're looking for (obviously) and add xda and or wildfire if its something specific to this phone.

Will Donate For Answer!!!

Hey guys, I think I posted this in the wrong forum yesterday, so I figured it may help to be more specific to my device. Let me say, I will donate 50 dollars to the first person that can help me with this. And I have literally read every spec of information on the PPCgeeks Kitchen and each individual ROM, and not seen anyone else post this problem. So I'm pretty much begging for the answer now.
I have tried to use the vogue kitchen from ppcgeeks for a week now. I installed it, and ran the updater. Just to clear it up, I've re-installed it almost ten times now, and still get the same problem.
Anyway, after I bring up the program, it brings up the window to choose which ROM selection I want to use. I've tried three different ones , from three different people, with and without GPS, and no help. When I choose which one I want, It brings up the list to make my selections. I go thru and choose the boot screens, and then the apps I want (I've even tried almost every possible combination of apps to see if that would help), then I click the Icon in the toolbar that starts the ROM build.
After I start the build it brings up the window to make donations, then the window that shows the build progress. It goes through a bunch of stuff like scanning files, and creating things I know nothing about. Then it pops up an error message at the same spot every time. It says that it can't find a folder , and wont go any further. The folder it asks for is located in:::
"My Computer/ C drive/ Document & Settings/ "my user name"/Application Data/ hIq INC "
The folder it asks for ends in .layout or something very close to that.
Like I said though, I've tried every single thing I can do! Re-Installation, New downloads, everything possible. Guys, I've literally read everything on this program, and never found this before. So IM BEGGING FOR YOUR HELP. I will donate like I said, 50 dollars to the first person to help me fix this. If it's a file Im missing could you post it, or even if it's a step Im missing, I dont care! ILL DONATE THE SECOND I GET THE HELP!! So please guys, help me out!!!!
Reproduce the behavior, take a screenshot of the error message you are describing and attach the screenshot to a reply.
Also, with the screenshot of the error, indicate the operating system, version and the account on the computer security rights (i.e. Windows XP service pack 2 Administrator -or- Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Power User).
There has got to be a reason behind the error.
remember that wqhen you are selecting the oem apps to have on the new rom build make sure you are paying attention to the colors if you select something and it is shaded yellow it means it needs something else selected first so that it can work and so forth

hmm thats sort of strange. are you sure that you have everything that you need all in the same folder on the same drive? ie if you have it in c:\program files\ppckitchen.org\buildos, then be sure to have your selections as well as your oems/kitchens/etc all in that same folder too. make sure you have only one buildos folder and that everything is located there and that you are running it from there only. i know that sounds dumb, but i had an issue with it and...thought i might as well throw it out there.
keep us posted/updated!
p.s. which drive do you have it on, and which os are you on/using?

Hey fellas, thanks for the help, but I've give up. Ive tried everything. Tiermann, you all, ppcgeeks, everyone has helped, and nothing will work. It keeps asking for the same file with ANY COMBO of apps. 1 , 10, even when I try it with no apps selected. I've tried every rom selection I can find. I'm just going to try it on a different computer when I get a chance. But it doesn't make sense. I have a wicked pc. So im not sure. But thanks to everyone who has spent time helping out here. I will try again with a dif pc, but I'm going to keep messin with this till I find the cause. That way if it happens to someone else, then we can help them. But again, thanks guys.

Vista or XP?, which Service Pack

First post here! Yipee! And a couple of questions on removal of a few apps.

I will start by sayign I checked over the first 5 pages of the forum and used the search feature on the site but could still not find the answer I was looking for.
2nd I have OCD And I really want to clear out as much of the preinstalled crap that came on the phone that I don't use. I have already gotten rid of about 10 items and the phone is still running fine but I am unsure of how to tackle the rest.
Can I...
1) Get rid of friendstream and still have facebook sync working after mainly for syncing my facebook phone contacs? (I would/could disable my facebook sync account before the uninstall and add it back after but will this work?)
2) If I remove footprints can I also remove the CAR PANEL app? I (probably like most here) only use maps but have not seen anyone mention the removal of car panel. Also what would the command line be? /system/bin/rm /system/app/CarPanel.apk ???
3) Final question if I remove the voice dialer would that have any impact on any other services?
Thanks in advance guys.

Well, I'll put you on the right path, but you'll have to find your own way. You need root to remove system apps, which are stored in /system/apps/ I believe. You will need to research where such apps are stored, and how to root your phone. I recommend looking at the subforum specific to your phone.
^^^ I have the Incredible phone and I am on the General Incredible forums. Also I am rooted otherwise how would I already removed a bunch of apps? (Which I stated in the original post)
I am just asking about these 3 apps in particular.
This is like the most unhelpful forum I have ever been to.

I don't think anyone really knows the answer to your three questions. Why don't you just make a nandroid backup then experiment? Post your results here when your done so others can learn from it.

Thanks for all the lulz, bro. Although I'll warn you that deleting Footprints can break Facebook syncing. I'm pretty sure there's a "list of apps that are safe to delete" thread in this good forum. Not to be "unhelpful" or anything, Mr. Entitlement.
Yea I tried to remove friendstream and the sync problems start up right after so I just did a Nandroid backup and all is well.
I also tried to remove the car panel app but it wasn't going through.
If anyone else is reading this can someone tell me what the command line might be for that? I was trying all different variations with a capital C & P and nothing was working.

If you do a simple google search, you'll find this forum HERE , and will see that you have to manually tell android to stop the sync for this app
I also found the answer to removing car panel HERE

The search function sucks..

Am I the only one that thinks so? I see all these threads being quickly responded to saying "use the search before posting, thread closed, etc.. ". Well if search worked halfway decent on this site these threads would be unnecessary. I'm sure a good percentage are noobs being lazy, but for those of us actually looking for legit info, well, good luck. Maybe it's just xda's mobile app search function. I have not used the websites search on the full site to compare. Again, is it just me? Somebody help me out here..
Example: there is a thread asking for the .Apk file for teeter. A mod jumped in saying use the search, and locked the thread. I'm interested in this game aswell, so I used the search. And nothing..
What am I missing?
Sent @ 04:20
Just did a search for teeter apk and recieved loads of results, many of which detail where to get it from and how to install it
Even starting a new thread with teeter apk in it's title brings up a list of similar threads.
Something is deft wrong then. Just did the same search (teeter. Apk) and got nothing but random threads that are fiftyleven pages long. Guess u just need patience and free time to find what you need.. Oh well

You just have to know how to use it. Kind of like Google search. Know what you want or need and be able to use terms or phrases to get you results. I joined xda last year and since then I haven't had any problems with the search feature. I either find the solution using search or figure it out on my own. I really don't understand how people mess up some times. Usually devs explain things really well, to the point where they are holding your hand. I love xda and couldn't imagine an android experience w/o it. Thanks xda!

i'm a new member n just flashed my phone with a custom rom. now my phone has incoming call delay where the phone only starts ringing after 2-3 times ring tones at the other side. n since i'm a new member, i cant post to development thread. i need to have posted at least 8-10 posts to other general threads only i can post to that thread. i thought i can faster post 8-10 posts so i can ask for help but there is a 5 min delays between post for new member.
i tried the search function, many results returned but i cant find a solution n i urgently need to ask for solution in the proper thread. but this is only my 3rd or 4th post.
i'm sorry if i complained.
kinda frustrated to that i have to randomly post to get off the 10 posts limit...
or is there any better way?
@ACis0014.. it's nothing at all like google search... Not even remotely similar. With google, you type your query and you have answers damn near immediately. Here, it looks as though it brings up threads that your search query might be mentioned in and I guess it's up to us to flip thru all the hundreds of pages and posts to find out if it's even the answer we're looking for.
And yes, god forbid we need help right away with an issue and post a question about it. Oh man, it's like burning their flag or something. It is what it is tho I guess. One of those things where you either deal with it, or move on..
Sent @ 04:20
I mean I am not here to convince you, that's not my job. You can believe whatever you want. But as I mentioned before I have never had a problem. It's also a matter of working to find your answering. do you expect everything to be handed to you? Rooting and modifying your phone takes work and patience apparently you don't have either one or just aren't trying. If you can't "deal" with the search than stay with stock or visit another website. Personally I don't ask for help until I have exhausted all other options. There's also a sense of pride in rooting and modifying knowing you did something by yourself without really having much experience beforehand. The devs and members here are wonderful who work their asses off for themselves and are courteous enough to share their work without really asking for money. At the most they ask for users to press a damn "thank you" button. Whoop di do! The only real complaint I have about xda is that some members post these stupid, immature comments or act like total douchbags or some think they are the damn xda police who are here to shape everybody up. Thank god my fellow mytouch 4g users are pretty good for the most part!

Don't use . in the search, only use keywords, so: teeter apk
If you do get stuck with no results that give you the answer, then if one of the results is similar then try posting in there to bump it back to the top.
It's also a good idea (tends to quieten down the "Search n00b!" bunch) to start the post with "I did try to search but came up with nothing useful, so if someone can just direct me to a thread they know about that'd be much appreciated, anyway, my problem is..."
Well, dunno what is up with the search here. I am pretty sure the stock vBulleting search has options to use logical operators such as AND/OR in search terms (even accessible via checkboxes).
Why is it disabled here?

Thanks for the tip.. I usually just google my question and add xda in the query and it usually will give me a list of specific posts and threads containing what I'm looking for.. example: (teeter apk xda) i find this much easier and faster than the forum search..
And also.. Yes, I would like things "just handed to me" when I have a question or problem.. That's what the Internet is for!!! In fact, I think the word Internet is Latin for instant gratification. Or something.. Just sayin..

Suggesting something here apparently appears about as productive as screaming out for help in the middle of a deep forest. Maybe this sucky crippled search is a "feature", exactly as the crippled "report post" functionality.
Silently ignoring user feedback about apparently broken functionality is really NOT appreciated. The issue will not disappear if you ignore it.
The truly annoying thing about search on this site is half of the time when you want to use it, it is either temporarily disabled or otherwise not working.

I made a short "usability" analysis of the search feature here. Well guys, this way, you would not succeed even 10 years ago, when Google was just starting. Uh.
See below:
I gave up using the search function on the site and in the worst case scenario i search the forum manually (or use google directly)
The search function works fine for me. If you dont know how to use it optimally, thats not the same thing as it sucking

[Q] days searching forums for help, no SMS notification(supersonic MIUI v4 2.12.28)

I'm not getting any notifications when receiving a text message on my newly flashed miui rom (version in title and below). I've scoured the internet, forums, miui site, google... all search results come up with old dates... old answers... old version problems and fixes....
if anyone has had a similar problem, or have found a solution, please post it for me, i'd really appreciate it.
As of right now, i get a pop up saying "messaging isn't working" and to either report to miui button, or an OK button populates. this happens when a text message arrives (so i guess you can say, in fact, i am receiving a text notification! ) just not what is expected with the new rom. here's my info: (and if I'm forgetting anything please let me know, i'll be here all day!) I DO, however, receive notifications for email, etc... everything except SMS/MMS.

Additionally, this is my first post.

Thank you in advance if anyone has an answer for me!
Also, if anyone uses MIUI roms, i'd love to hear how it has worked out for you on the EVO 4G, as my past experiences have been rocky with this rom. i've tried countless versions, but always come up with some sort of error... although, it is my favorite in terms of customization!

Ok thank u for the reply. I will move it there. ...sucks being a forum newb! Lol

Q & A huh? Okay I have a question, about the new format here. What the heck?

Yeah, um. I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive. But the new format this page has. SUCKS! Oh yeah, I gotta ask a question. Alright, here goes. Why is it that I can enter something in the search bar here up to the right, and get NOTHING on a subject that I know for sure is here on XDA? I don't get it, and suddenly feel retarded everytime I try to use it since. It's a good thing I have a buncha bookmarks on my PC or I'd get totally lost within your search parameters. Believe me I already have more than a few times. Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated with it enough to write this little note for all you Admins, Moderators, whoever it is thats running things around here. Look, I should be able to enter something into the search bar and find it. But someone decided to change something that wasn't broke to begin with and now it's being difficult! Take this for an example. I'm researching a project I want to start. So, usually I would first start out in the search bar. Now go ahead, I dare ya! Enter this: Samsung Galaxy S Relay. That's an "exact" search parameter. Again with the no offense but, can any one of you tell me why I get directed to some page not even related? Where'd it lead me too? How to Root Any Device. Please fix your search parameters!

Sorry you're having trouble, but I get relevant search results using Samsung Galaxy S Relay.
Try clearing your cache? A different xda theme? Or to test, try another browser?
You can browse the devices section too, https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-relay-4g

Next to the search bar , there's a button called "search plus" , click on it and you'll have the right search bar ( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)
Okay, I'm back for a follow up, because this seems to be an obvious difficulty and I'll bet I'm not the only one that may be having issues with this. It's a navigation thing about the current format I see here on XDA. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it's not my cache. When I'm on my tablet I can navigate fine, but when I come here on my PC it's another story, and it's very frustrating. That's why you got this question before you in such a way. You guys who may understand it having set it up know how to get around. As I mentioned before it used to be fairly easy, now it's stupid not to belittle you. The problem is that it has suddenly become difficult to search for things in a normal maner. I use the search bar, which should dirrectly link me to what I am "specifically" looking for and let's put aside the search plus for the moment. If I'm searching for something that I know is there and I type in certain words that should bring me right to it, my question is, why aren't they! I'm getting redirected to some page, often of no relevance. And here's where I'll bet this is happening to others. So what's going on? There's a problem with your search bar, and I'm letting you know it's kinda frustrating. I can navigate through here with other ways, that's not a problem. I got some bookmarked, subscribed to, ect. The issue is that the search bar in itself is broken! Whatever you guys did to it, I saw it, pointing it out! Now fix it please. This might help. I noticed a difference about two weeks ago. Not sure what it is or was. I even cleared out from my PC anything that would suggestively lead to it being my PC settings. Being a good enough percentage to say it's not, it's therefore XDA.
On a side note for all you Admins and Mods. I've been coming here over 10 years now, I got questions and suggestions. But right now my suggestion is to please eliminate some obvious confusion I've noticed that affects an average user to navigate through your search areas.
Oh! Okay, there's the sudden difference!
[QUOTE( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)[/QUOTE]
Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table so to speak. I don't know why you put a link to articles in the search bar in such a way to begin with. It doesn't really make sense to me. Especially with your nifty new format of where everything is, except articles I'm going to guess. So you put them in the search bar with no notice of. Can you explain all that to me? Cuz right now I'm sorry to admit, I'm kinda laughing at this. I can just imagine all you went through, even deciding on how to change the old format to what I see now. It's good. However, when it comes to the search bar, whatever idea you went with. It's one that didn't notify anyone that the search bar isn't what it says it is~!
Ignoring your saltiness, why dont you use google and append each search with xda..

Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table... !

You seem to be angry and it's a pity. Did you try the suggestion provided by RaiZProduction in a previous post? Does the Search Plus button (see my screenshot attached) allow you to find what you are usually looking for on XDA Forum?
You might want to step back a second and read carefully!

I'm far from angry. But check this out. This is the Q & A section is it not? So i'm askinfg a question about a difference I noticed and the A's I'm getting are a joke! Really? Hey Wood Man? You're deflecting. Step off unless you got something relevant to say. To those of you at XDA I now have a minor complaint! You people need to read what I said. I said I noticed a difference with the search bar and could someone tell me whats wrong with it. The answer I got was a confirmation that the search bar was not functional as it says it is and that's it. So. Mr Wood Man. Did I follow the suggestion you mentioned? Ahem! Are you asking to get put down blatantly or what? I made a post, RaiZProduction made a suggestion, what may I ask you is the post after that? Mine! A follow up. Before you decide to jump in there, you might wanna inform yourself better.. This here Q & A asked, "Rather than sending a PM to an individual Moderator, please feel free to ask questions in need of Moderator or Admin assistance. We will all be monitoring this thread, and someone will reply without much delay." Well, I obviously came to the right place didn't I? Everyone has a personal preference and I used the search bar a lot.
OK, I'll stop this here.
Answers were given, some with ideas, others saying all is fine for them. And also your opinion on the search is noted. However, it seems to work for everyone else, so not sure what more to say.
And honestly, your aggressive posts are getting a bit much, so I'll end this before lines get crossed. I suggest a more respectful approach in the future Sir. :good:
