I am running CM 6.1.1 and for some reason since I tried to install the new market app I get repeated force closes.
I've tried installing it 3 ways:
1. I flashed the .zips from this post via recovery
2. I extracted the .apk itself and pushed to system/app
3. I even deleted the old market.apk then pushed the new one
However I'm still getting force closes. The app won't even open up for a second to use.
I also noticed there are 3 different apps associated with the market vending.apk, market.apk, and market updater.apk.
Do all of these need to be replaced?
Did you delete the market cache prior to installing?
Yes. I did, I don't know what this issue is.
You have to wipe dalvik cache first and then flash or push the apk

If not, try the apk I attached, it's the newest 2.2.7 one. My old thread that you found has an installer for 2.2.6.
EDIT: Actually, it seems that this version is also 2.2.6, but after you install it, the market updater updates it to 2.2.7. Anyway, push this file to /system/app.
I got that problem when I booted into my ROM before I flashed the gapps. If you still haven't fixed it, try wiping and installing the ROM/gapps again before you boot.
Finally got this fixed.
I think doing it in this order made it possible:
1.Force stop the market and wipe it's data
2.Reboot in CWM recovery and wipe cache/dalvik-cache
3.Push vending.apk to /system/app (or flash whatever .zip)
I finally got the new market with out tons of force closes.
Thanks to everyone for the help.
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.
Everything was working fine I went to stock 4.0.4 then rooted and installed rom and kernel. Clockwork wiped everything well. Today I noticed the app rom manager was gone. I installed it again and I went to flash clockwork mod and it started but it freezes at like 90%. Is this because its already flashed and the app got deleted some how? If I hold volume and power I can get into recovery.
So, is it just freezing at like 90% because its already flashed or is it another problem and how do I fix it?
EDIT* Fixed permissions, went back in and it flashed fine

For the last 3 years I've had an iPhone 3Gs and just upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday. I have the Bell Mobility S3, which is the SGH-I747m.
So last night I rooted the phone using Odin and the stock OS. I then installed clockworkmod and tried out Cyanogen Mod 10.
First I tried the latest nightly build and it worked fairly well until I released that GPS and network data didn't work.
So after that I tried the latest stable build and that worked for a while, but eventually it got to the point where data no longer worked. Also I wasn't getting any alerts for texts or e-mails.
So after this I went back to my stock ROM (just used Odin and did essentially what I did to root the phone).
Then I realized that I couldn't uninstall all these ridiculous apps, and am getting annoyed by some of the features.
Am I doing something wrong with Cyanogen?
I'd like to try ROMs again, but I'd like to save my current setup.
If I reboot into restore mode, and use clockwork mod to backup, will I be able to restore all my settings and everything later, or is there more steps?
Is there a cm build where everything works? So no issues with data, notifications, GPS, or anything else?
When I re ran odin, my clockwork mod seems to have disappeared. Can someone explain to me exactly what clockwork mod does?
I tried flashing multiple times before with both the latest nightly build and the most recent stable build. Both of them had their issues.
When u install cwm and reboot it wipes out cwm and reverts to stock. When u Odin cwm uncheck auto reboot and then manually boot into recovery

Also for a good ROM i suggest 4.1.2 builds of aokp by task. Very stable. Search for it. Welcome to the android community

I had an issue today where maps and navigation refused to work. I had network data and GPS was working (it was able to find my location), but I couldn't navigate anywhere. When I typed in a destination it just infinitely loaded.
Also facebook timeline refused to refresh, kept saying network error, but I was able to use the browser.
All on CM10 stable build.
Any help?

To uninstall system apps, you need a root enabled file explorer (I use Root Explorer) to delete them from the /system/app folder. The other option is to download a system app remover from the Play Store. Be cautious when removing system apps though, as if you remove the wrong ones it can cause your system to be unstable/unbootable. Stick to the bloatware that you know shouldn't affect the rest of the ROM (AT&T apps, ect.)

Yes, that is called a nandroid backup, and it will be a complete system image. Once you restore it, your system will be exactly the same as it was when you did the backup.
As far as CM 10 stable goes, I have only had one real hiccup. When I open Maps, sometimes the GPS doesn't want to engage. Not sure why and haven't had time to troubleshoot. My favorite ROMs have always been CM though. Make sure when you flash, that you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, and wipe the divalk cache (advanced menu) from recovery before flashing to ensure a clean flash.
Welcome to Android, and happy flashing!

In my opinion making a nandroid backup of your stable stock rom is extremely important. This will allow you to restore back to a stable build should a ROM installation not work. Aside from that it gives you the ability to try different ROMS without having to redo the entire process should you go back to try one you have already installed.
There are a lot of options for removing "bloatware" out there. I have tried several but stick with Titanium Backup only because I like the layout and the option to backup apps and data (this can create its own issues of course). I can't stress enough on suprtrukr425's comment regarding removal of system apps from a ROM. Read, read, and read some more to ensure that you are removing apps that will not cause problems. If you are unsure leave it be. Generally speaking, I found that most of the carrier specific software is safe to remove.
Aside from that, good luck and have fun.
eukross and
What I usually try to do is this:
1. set up one ROM just how I like it with all the apps and settings
2. than do a FULL backup (backup with Titanium and backup thru clockwork)
3. load up a second ROM and get all the apps restored and settings how u like it
4. do a FULL backup.
Now you can switch from one to the other on daily basis to test one versus the other and which one you like better.
I recommend MIUI. I been a MIUI user for 3 years and i love their work.
I am currently using cm-11 on my Xperia M. Few days ago I uninstalled the stock gallery app and installed the sony album app instead. But I recently found that without the stock gallery app, I am unable to set the wallpapers, edit images etc. I tried to install the stock gallery app from the .apk file but it didn't install. Is there anyway to install it back and fix the issue? Or is flashing the rom again, the only option? Also, if I flash it again(install .zip from cwm recovery), will I lose all my data or will it just upgrade the apps without deleting all my data?
i think you could just flash again and it will upgrade and give you the app back
