First and foremost, sorry if this has been posted already. i have spent an hour searching and posting on other threads, and yes I am still a newbie and cannot post on xda dev threads.
Alright, my htc evo was rooted with the virus kingdom b1 rom and I cannot use android market along with other google apps. And when I go to the "Accounts & Sync" section in settings, their is not google account selection in there. I assume this is why my google apps won't load. Now is there any to fix this or am I screwed? Everything else works fine by the way, and would love this rom if I could fix this.
when you go into "Accounts & Sync" through settings there should be a button on the bottom right "add account" .... I am on Virus Kingdom B1 rom had no problem with setting up google account.
It seems you forgot to flash the gapps file... go back to the virus thread, or the CM7 thread and look for the google apps file and flash it in your recovery.
You should be good to go after that.

I take everything I said back... I've never used virus and assumed it was an AOSP rom. But it seems its Sense.
You shouldn't need to flash the gapps.
I would flash the file again, just make sure you wipe your phone first.

I flashed the file about 5 times, and it seems exactly the same as when I restarted the phone. So which wipe should I select?
Redownload, then reflash. You may have a bad download... although only missing google apps is odd.
I wonder what would happen if you flashed gapps anyway? Or a modified gapps with only what you're missing?

I initially had a lot of problems installing this rom...
But this is what I did and now it works good
-BACK UP YOUR MEMORY CARD TO YOUR COMPUTER THIS WILL ERASE EVERYTHING
-Reboot in recovery
-Wipe Data
-Wipe Davik
-Wipe Cache
-Select Partition sdcard
-Select Partition SD
-I chose the swap at 32mb you can choose 0 if you like
-Ext2-size = 2048 (this is 2GB the reason so big is because of the 3.0 packages taking up so much space)
-First flash the PRI and hit reboot let it flash the 1.77 Prl
-Next flash the rom
Hopefully this helps ... it worked for me
This is where I got my instructions from I don't think this is listed in XDA post.
http://infectedrom.com/showthread.php/286-VR_Kingdom_B1-5-13-11-UPDATED!!!
I am running a nightly build and would like to upgrade to the latest nightly. I purchased ROM manager premium like the upgrade screen requested, and then go to the ROM manager premium page and hit "Check for rom updates" button.
Nothing happens. No error, no success, nothing.
Alright then, I go to the cyanogenmod settings page and attempt to register for push update notifications. It spins for a bit then puts up an error that says "Registration failed".
Not a great showing so far. What's going on?

lol thanks, that's not the point though. I purchased the software for hopes of being able to upgrade straight from the phone.....
Also, if I upgrade, will it overwrite all of my configuration (background, ringtones, email settings etc) and leave me with a default ROM install again?

Since we just got S-Off, it may take some time for the nightly builds to show up in RM. MIUI wasn't even available in there until this weekend.
If you are upgrading from an existing CM7 installation, your settings should remain the same. In my experience, I have done the following:
-Downloaded ROM in RM
-Reboot into recovery
-Backup current ROM
-Install .zip from SD card
-Choose the downloaded ROM under clockworkmod>downloads
-Install new ROM
-Advanced Options > Wipe Dalvik Cache
As long as you wipe your Dalvik cache after upgrading, *most times* everything will work fine for upgrades. It's down-grading that you will have to wipe your data and cache in my experience.
EDIT: I know you can choose the options to Backup current ROM and Wipe Dalvik directly from RM after the download completes, but I once had a problem and choose to do it manually since then. This was several versions ago so it may be fixed and fine to do it that way.
Rom manager was pretty worthless on my og droid, but has worked really well on my Inc2 so far.

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.

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.
OK, I might get trolled unrelentlessly, but right now I don't care...
The girlfriend loved the look of some of these themes, and asked me to install one. I didn't realize at the time that not being on a TW-based ROM that it would fail as badly as it has.
At this point in time, I can get into the OS, see her home screen. Google acct info is completely gone, home button does not work, and no matter what order of operations I use in terms of bringing this thing back to life will work. HELP.
TB will fail to restore ACTUAL settings for "Account", etc. If/when it does finish, the phone boots straight to boot-animation, but does not go any further, period.
I've been at this for 2hrs now, and I'm getting nowhere. Do I need to install a TW-based ROM, THEN wipe again and install AOSP like she had before?
For clarification, I've tried wiping EVERYTHING, including full reset in CWM.
The problem is that I get a FC on "False.4.1.2-eng-nocoast.20121030.123453", and the status-bar is completely gone. I can use TB to remove the "False" apk, but I can't find a way to get the status bar back. I've tried installing the ROM fresh after full wipe of all caches, plus factory-wipe from within CWM. All this amounts to is the ROM booting to its splash-screen without continuing, OR getting to Android, but the home button doesn't work, and there is no way to associate a Google account with it at that point in time. I thought I could remedy this by simply having TB update.zip run before first boot after fresh install, but even though it allows the Play store and other Google apks to install, it won't let me associate an account for Google. The list consists of Exchange and something else.
Basically - I need to know if this means I have to Odin back, start over...or if there is some way to get the phone to recognize the 2 missing components without doing that.
I do have one nandroid, but it was done right after the initial realization of failure with the theme install, so it essentially puts me back to square-one.
You need to be on a tw rom; as that theme is tied into the tw framework.
What you should do is:
-do a full wipe in recovery
-download / flash your tw rom of choice
-flash the theme
In the future, tw / aosp themes are meant to be used on the respective rom source.

What recovery are you using? If you flash twrp and wipe the system, along with the caches and factory, that will definitely be the end of that.
And you flashed the same rom with the theme?

If you're able to get into the os, I would install the goo manager app > menu > install open script recovery > install twrp recovery. Then boot into recovery, make sure to wipe the system. That should do it, cuz just seems something isn't wiping. Additionally, I may re-down that rom if its giving you issues; did you modify the zip at all?

I'll give that a try. I didn't modify the ROM; I never do, I just install them. It's the Liquid Smooth AOSP, and it has been just that up until I had my "senior moment" last night.

So, I got TWRP 2.3 on, wiped everything, flashed the ROM, Gapps, and ran Fix Permissions (which resulted with "failed"), and rebooted. Same story - goes into Android, home button doesn't work, and no Google account associated with the phone. Also, no menu option to add one. There is only "Corporate" and "Email".

This particular ROM uses a different SU app that I hadn't seen before using it, but I have the same phone with the same ROM, and it runs as the title says, "Liquid Smooth". So it's not an issue with the ROM or how it was packed. I'm trying a different ROM now, to see if I have better luck.

I was going to suggest trying a different wrong, because the instructions I gave you should have worked, not to say you're doing it wrong. If i remember, that was was ported, so it could have inherent issues, or some unknown ones; I haven't flashed it yet, so I can't advise. Flash aokp, I know everything is working there.

OK, here's the latest:
-Wiped everything in TWRP - caches, system, data, basically every option for wiping in the menu.
-Flashed AOSP ROM by codefireX, yet another that I've used before, and has worked almost flawlessly for me.
-Flashed JusTunBean's Aroma installer for gapps, been using it for months with no issues.
-Boots to OS, home button now works, and the status bar is there. Immediately get a FC on Gmail, without opening any apps.
-Still no Google account, and no option within "Accounts" to add one. <----main problem at this point.

Nothing in the menu button to add accounts?
And with that aroma installer, are you adding the thing for the account setup, that prompts you for the gmail account etc? I don't use the aroma installer, but I know it lets you select which packages to install, and you may not be installing it.

Nothing at all in the menu for it :/
The gapps installer menu is Aroma-driven, but it has its own menu. It's designed to let you choose which gapps you want installed "inverted", and what, if any, additional features you'd like added. I've tried everything from completely foregoing installing them altogether, to installing all of them. There is no menu option for adding account setup.
Since all else had failed just Odin back to stock and reroot. Then you should be good to go. You also might have something on the internal sd card that is not playing nice. So id wipe that too then use odin. Make sure you get any pics etc saved first so you don't lose them.

That's the last thing I was gona have him do, but avoiding it if possible.
I figured it out. It had nothing to do with remnants of whatever messed it up in the first place. For the first time since I've used that specific gapps installer - it has failed me. You were right when you said it should be creating a google account prompt as a result of installing the gapps (I always thought that was part of the ROM, not the gapps zip).
I loaded the previous version of the gapps zip, it still uses Aroma, and it worked like a charm.
Thanks a TON for the persistence responses, I sincerely appreciate it. Nothing like looking like an ass to your girl when you think you know your Android...heh
Holy hell, I've lost a lot of sleep, Batman.

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.

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.
