Not sure if this is Kindle-specific (probably not) or ROM specific, but I just installed AOKP milestone 5 on the Fire and after setting up Gapps I figured all the apps I downloaded/purchased on my rooted phone (Thunderbolt) would automatically start downloading to my tablet, as was always the case when I would try out a new ROM on the phone. I can see why that may not be the ideal thing to happen, but I wonder if after installing dozens of apps on the fire, if I choose to update the current ROM or try a new one, will I have to download them all one-by-one again?
You'd have to because when you install a new ROM they suggest you wipe user data saying apps and user installed data

After researching this further, I think that is not the case. Once one sets up GAPPS, the Google Play store should start auto-downloading everything that was originally on your device...even after data wipe and fresh ROM install.

Hi all,
I have a routed DHD and have used the advanced ace hack kit, everything went well and the root was successful.
Now when I'm trying new roms from XDA the problem is that for 1 week the rom work absolutely fine and after that suddenly it is in bootloop and then I have to change the rom.
I have tried the following roms:
1) Core Droid v9.2
2) Lee latest rom v5.1.1
3) virtuoso affinity latest build
4) bindroid
n a lot more but still having the same issue.
Right now I'm on ARHD 6.3.1
Requesting a sincere help from the dev community....!!

Look at what mods you do or what you install..must be some kind of trigger maybe..have u updated Rom only not radios kernels etc etc?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
apart from installing the roms i haven't touched on anything....as i'm new to all this.
Try cyanogen for a while..have you flashed any roms without sense?

Hmm, strange. What about ROM internal modifications or options?
As you tried LeeDrOiD 5.1.1 you seem to have that problem not always after 1 week (cause it's not that old *g*), so what about trying this:
of course make a backup of your data
full wipe your device (you can make sure to do it right by using a full wipe script
install a new rom and fully boot it
keep running it for a day without reinstalling your preferred apps
keep installing the apps step by step and watch the system's behaviour
When installing your new ROM and setting it up again, do you restore any data by using tools like Titanium Backup? If so, do you also restore system data or apps (+ data) only?
PS: maybe edit your topic's title to something better like "Problems with fresh installed custom ROM after a few days" or so.

I recently flashed cm7, works great. The only thing I'm having trouble is with the apps. I can't download the apps I had previously from the market because It says I have them installed already.
So how do I fix this/restore my apps?
thanks
Try and clear data for the market app and see if that works for you.
Erm, how exactly?
If you go into settings and then applications. Find market under all and click clear data.
Part of my problem is that I don't have the market app installed
Did you flash a Gapps package when you flashed your ROM? That will give you Market and other basic Google apps. I believe CM is packaged without an integrated Gapps loadout for legal reasons.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
No I didn't flash Gapps, I just installed market via apk, cleared the data but I can't use the market cause I cannot set up a profile that its asking for.
How would I go about this Gapps package?
There was no data to clear anyways.
About to try this
wipe data+cache
flash cm7
wipe data+cache
flash gapps
If you wiped system, cache, and dalvik cache before you installed CM7, you shouldn't even need to wipe. You'll just reboot into recovery and flash the Gapps .zip just like you flashed your ROM.
As far as finding it, I'd just Google "cm7 Google apps" or "cm7 gapps", you'll find a download link for the .zip. Keep in mind that, unlike the ROM itself, the Gapps package isn't specific to one model phone.

Thanks I'll try flashing gapps
It worked great, now im getting a server error in the market.
Also getting a network error trying to use weather
It broke my internet, completely. 3g and wifi

Which cm7 version are you using?
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
In that case you might want to start from scratch:
Boot into recovery -- nandroid backup -- factory reset -- wipe dalvik cache -- install cm7 -- flash gapps.
And yeah, check to make sure you're using a current stable cm7 build.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using XDA App
What version of CM7 did you flash?
depending on the version of cm7, i would flash one of aero's kernals
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7717-kernel-aeroevan-vivow-kernels-for-aosp/
v8 needs to be for 7.2 otherwise, flash .7 version.
7.2 + Aero kernel .8 is an amazing combination. Do that!

7.1.0.1 stable is the version im using.

A thanks to everyone else also.
I have just installed cm7 onto my epic 4g. I have been trying to get the stock apps, ie gmail, market, etc.. I love the rom but I guess it didn't come with the bloat ware.. is there anyway to get them? I cannot add a gmail account either, server won't respond.

Don't the instructions mention to flash the gapps? I remember reading that when I installed it. I know there is only a google search link for gapps now. Gapps as in Google Apps.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
So I'm using ROM manager and it has the gapps listed however after it finishes I get the options to "Back Up ROM, Wipe Data and Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache". Is this the proper way to get these apps to work? If so, which option would I choose? I am kinda a noob to roms so this is a little confusing for me.

If you want to backup the ROM then fine, otherwise wipes are not even required. I don't wipe at each upgrade at all. It never hurts anything to wipe Dalvik and cache and can only help.

Ok so I had attempted to back up my ROM however it froze so I had taken the batterie out and now I cannt get into recovery mode at all, it just goes back to that frozen screen where it was attempting to back up the ROM. Any ideas how I can fix that?

Try clearing data in the market app. Use Titanium.

So I think I'm pretty close to deciding on:
AOKP toro milestone-4
Franco Kernel-milestone2
GAPP
Should I reboot after I flash each one or could I flash all three then reboot?
Thanks
personally I would go: rom, gapps and kernel then boot and enjoy the show!

What's the point? Maybe for a theme but not for the other three.
Let the new system boot on its new kernel that way building the dalvik with the kernel it'll be using instead of building the dalvik with the roms kernel and again when you flash the new one.

Oh I know, I'm just saying!
I would always flash a theme after a boot tho.
I use AOKP M4 w/ Franco M2 and am very happy with it so far.
I would:
Boot into recovery
Do full wipe
Flash Rom & Gapps
Boot
Let settle 10 min
Setup phone
Let Play Store download apps
Restore app data with TiBu
Reboot
Boot into recovery
Wipe Cache & Dalvik
Flash Kernel
Boot
Let settle 10 min
Reboot
Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus.
Its not necessary to wipe before flashing Franco's kernel, or to let the stock one settle. Franco's kernels contain a script that automatically wipes dalvik cache. I always flash the rom, gapps, then kernel and reboot. It doesn't really make sense to let the original kernel settle since it'll be overwritten anyway
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
<_<
There is no such thing as kernel settling anyway.
Period.
Thanks all. looks like the consensus is to flash the rom, gapps, then kernel and reboot.
Dakota0206 mentioned that I should:
Let Play Store download apps
Restore app data with TiBu
I thought TiBu backed up the apps complete and I would restore them through it without anything to do with Play Store. Do I need to download all my apps again from Google Play first?

I have found that everything is more stable if you let the play store download the apps, but that's just me.
Sent from my Verizon 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus.
So that means I'd have re-install them one at a time? What selection in TiBu would I select to restore the data after re-installing the apps?
It kind of makes TiBu pointless doesn't it?
Thanks
I find that the order of installation is very important. In fact I've had perfect results using my combination through much trial and error. First i put my left foot in, then take me left foot out , then put it back in and shake it all about. Then i do the OCD and turn my self around.

Just Batch restore data. I go through and unchecked apps where data is not important though.
Open Tibu
Press menu soft key
Select Batch
Select Restore all apps with data
Select data only
Uncheck any unnecessary apps
Press run batch operation

Usually the play store downloads all your apps automatically. No need to do one at a time. It will do them all at once.

Sorry for being a pain here but does the play store download everything when I open the site or do I have to select something? It doesn't seem to do any downloads when I open the site. I have some apps showing there that I tried but then uninstalled and really don't want to re-install them.
Thanks again, for the umpteenth time.

When you do a full wipe and flash a rom and gapps you will go through the setup process. Like you did when you pulled the phone out of the box for the first time. Just make sure to select to backup with Google account. Immediately after setup, when you first see the home screen (you should have to x out of the tool tip overlay) you should see the play store app download icon in the status bar. This is the play store downloading and installing your apps.
I err on the side of caution so I don't like to interrupt this process. It goes one app at a time so it can take several minutes depending on how many apps you have. I have 110 and it takes roughly 30 - 40 minutes.

Got it! Many thanks.
Hi all, I am fairly new at installing ROMs on devices so this question is quite noob.
But, I recently installed the Beanstalk 4.3 ROM on my Galaxy S3 and was wondering how to update it without wiping out my current apps and data?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
You can occasionally flash the newer version over top of currently installed version (provided it's the same ROM)
Sometimes this will work flawlessly, sometimes you can run into all sorts problems. Most devs will always recommend a full wipe, this ensures any core changes they made will work correctly.
I recommend backing up your apps using a program like Titanium backup, and then restoring them after a fresh install. There is a free version on the playstore that will back up app data.
You can try to flash the new version over the old first to see if works well, but if you run into problems you will need to full wipe and do a fresh flash/install.
