I flashed CM7 and gapps.
Now i was wondering how i can get the google apps?
Google Maps
Google Latitude
Goggle Mail
etc.
(would like all the google apps that came originally with the phone)
I'm new to the whole Desire world
I may be wrong with this so please wait til someone confirms but i think you can remove the apks' from another downloaded ROM and install them to your own. Just download the zip file of a seperate ROM find all the APK files you need and install ....
Not sure if any of these files have extra files on the ROM that you need to move with them so like i say please wait for someone with more knowledge to respond
my mistake didnt read the post fully
You can download them from Market.
That's why they're not included in gapps.
I didn't find it in market.
So i re-flashed the CM7 and gapps and got the menu where i can choose what i want to download. But it aswell couldn't find maps and gmail.
I had created .apk for all google apps of oxygen so everything works now.
Thanks for the help
That sounds very strange.
I flashed last night my HTC Desire to CM7, and flashed the gapps universal dpi.
With the first boot I was asked which Apps I would install and Maps & Latitude are downloaded from the Market.
Maybe you had the wrong gapps installed...

Same problem here. I installed the same way as you did, got the same install menue and some google apps were installed.
But not Maps and Earth.
So I tried via market. I find Maps and Earth in market but when I try to download, nothing happens. Can't DL, so can't install.
Tried Nightlies 25 to 33 with same result.
Also tried full wipe, but nothing changes....
I have a question about installing gapps. I found my gapps here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
how do I flash them? do I wipe all data/cache/dalvik first just like on done with the ROM?

Dont know about problem. Try downloading apks from internet via browser.

No need to wipe.
Ok thanks
quick question again lol
I'm with alltel but my ROM says US Cellular..does that make any difference?
i had the same problem with CM7 #34 on the first try (only cleared data/cache before flash)
gapps universal start up just fine, but failed on downloading maps
also when trying later directly from the market the download failed without any error, it just stopped..
cleared data/cache & dalvik cache and reflashed CM7, after that it worked fine..
Very strange, I have no such problems with flashing the google addon.
I have downloaded CM7 Nightly #32 last week, and am going to flash a newer version soon.
Good luck everyone.

That solved the install problem
Still don't understand why I could not install via CM G-Apps or Market, but anyway....
Thanks!
That's probably because you are not in the US and not all apps are available everywhere. E.g. GMail isn't available, for whatever STUPID reasons, in the German market for me.
If you want it, all you can do is getting an app called "market access". It will allow you to emulate a SIM card from T-Mobile US and then you have access to everything.

thanks you for your external link , works now google map.

thank u
hi, im new to rooting. i've just rooted my desire with cyanogenmod 7, and the android market doesn't seem to work? i can't download google map or any other apps from it. any help? thanks alot.
any help? thanks
i guess you tried rebooting? that worked the last time I had problems with cyanogenmod, that being said i don't use it daily so I'm no expert
yup, i tried rebooting but it didn't work too..
Try wiping the cache, if that doesn't work, do a factory reset and wipe everything, do a fresh install and put gapps on.
does that mean i have to flash it back to stock rom and start all over again?
Have you tried to flash the G-apps again? Here's the link of the newest one: Google apps choose the CyanogenMod 7 (Gingerbread) version and flash it with Rom Manager or Recovery.
have you modified the .zip file , deleting some files for exemple?
I done it, and removed "Package Installer.apk" one time, so downloads were beginning but stopped each time immediately
Market download issues
I'm having similar issues using GingerVillain 1.9. Small market updates are downloading without issue, larger ones such as the latest Google Maps update are giving the message "download unsuccessful". I had similar issues when the market was updated from the old style, and wonder whether google are tinkering in the background.

i don't think i've removed any of those files..
I am having similar problems. I have installed the gapps, but it only installs a couple of google apps. When I try to install from the market some install fine but others (angry birds for example) don't. I see the downloading icon for split second then it goes away and the download stops.
Any ideas?

how does it help?
i have the same issue , it's stuck with ( Downloading... ) what ever the app is
Recently put Jelly Bean on my Kindle - JB flashed, using TWRP, fine and runs great. Gapps will NOT flash, no matter which I use; it fails using TWRP each time, even after clearing cache and even redoing the whole install process.
I figured I would just sideload the Google Play store and any others I needed, but Google Play will not open once installed; it pops open for a split second then closes. I read that installing Talk and signing in would fix this, but after sideloading Talk it does the same thing.
So it seems no Google apps will sideload properly and I also am unable to flash any gapps.zip's.
Any idea? Did I miss something obvious?
Depends...are you using the CM10 gapps?
Also, what version of TWRP are you using?
Yes, CM10 (tried others too) and TWRP 2.

2.0? 2.1? 2.2?
Also, are you checking the md5s? It's a longshot but worth looking into.
Which version of gapps are you using?
TWRP 2.2 is what I'm using.
Not sure the gapps versions, but ive tried about 5 different ones. All from July and August.
What would I be checking in the md5's exactly?

TWRP 2.2 is still quite new and it is yet unknown of all the bugs that may come with it. Have you tried an earlier version?
Did you find a solution to your problem yet?

Hi sleep_debt, I was wondering if you have found a solution to this problem yet. I am also having a problem getting access to Google Play. I've tried loading multiple versions of GoogleServicesFramework.apk and Vending.apk, etc. I am able to get them to install, but when I open the "Market" icon it prompts me to create an account and sign in, but it is never able to make the connection. I am also confused by references to the "Google Play" store. I don't have anything called "Google Play" I only have an icon called "Market". So, I think I'm missing something, but I don't know what.

Which ROM did you use? The two ROMs I have tried both had an accompanying gapps zip file. I'm using TWP installed by KFU 0.9.6. I installed cm-10 from sgt7-linaro and jdaycane 1.7.2. I flashed the gapps ROM at the same time using TWRP and had no issues.

Not sure what this issue is, still - have tried every gapps & TWRP version I could find, but TWRP also throws an error when trying to flash gapps.
Also, sideloading the gapps just doesnt work, either, making me think the actual OS flash might be damaged? Been busy lately but plan on just flashing another OS and seeing if that clears it up.
If anyone has any other tips, it would be much appreciated!
Update:
Spent the weekend trying to re-root, flash Jellybean/Gapps to no avail. Same results (when Jelly bean is installed, Gapps will not flash using TWRP 2.2.2). I then wiped everything, leaving only TWRP. Cleared all caches, etc and tried to re-flash Jellybean; now NOTHING will flash successfully and there is no OS anymore, just TWRP.
How can I get an OS back on if TWRP isnt cooperating?
What errors do you get when trying to flash gapps or ROMs?

i would try adb installing twrp 2.2.2.1 and then flashing a rom, i read that the update fixed some issues that your probably having.

That's the version of TWRP I'm using; the error I'm getting when flashing anything is:
* Verifying filesystems...
* Verifying partition sizes...
Error flashing zip 'whateverthefileis.zip'
TWRP errors
I agree with nmaiorana, cm-10 from linaro is not throwing errors like you seem to be running into. Latest version I am using is: 10-20120831-2228. the gapps v that works with this rom is: gapps-jb20120726. In TWRP after clearing cache and dalvik cache, goto to Install, click on the ROM you want to install, then go back to install and click on the gapps file, then slide the button to the right. You can install multiple flash files this way in TWRP. See if that works.

If you've tried reinstalling every version of TWRP and you have tried installing different ROMs and they all return the exact error you posted, try this:
fastboot oem format
...and then reinstall TWRP. If that doesn't work, fastboot may not be working to correctly flash information to the recovery partition. If that's the case you may need to replace your bootloader, but not with fastboot. TWRP probably wouldn't work either and you don't want to open the case to do the shorting trick unless you have to.
My suggestion would be to use adb to install TWRP and see if that makes a difference. If that works and you can flash ROMs normally, replace your bootloader right away.
At least that's what I would try.
Pull the recovery log and see if it gives you more details on what's causing the flash to fail...
Attempt to install the gapps package. After it fails, run the following adb command
Code:
adb pull /cache/recovery/last_log recovery_log.txt
You'll find the recovery_log.txt file in your current working directory. Copy and paste the contents of the log file into pastebin.com and share the URL here.

If you want help, you will have to give more info than that. What ROM are you running specifically? Did you make any changes before this problem occurred? Is this a fresh install?

It's the factory TouchWiz rom and yes it was a fresh 4.4 kk install and I did root it could it be the host file? Cause I did another fresh install and all the apps work fine now except Google play store I've tried uninstalling it and then downloading the new version and putting it in system/apps giving full permissions for install then restarting my phone and nothing seems to be working. I did mess with the host file awhile ago but I did a fresh install again.

I don't see what a host file would have to do with all of your apps crashing, but then again doing a full wipe and reinstall should fix it if it was something you did with a file. Maybe you have a bad image? Could always just try going to your recovery doing a full wipe without reflashing and see if that fixes anything. Is the play store just force closing or what?

Yeah its just the Google play store and I've already done a full wipe first it was all the Google apps force closing literally now it's the playstore
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.

I figured it out. Basically because I used my Mac to transfer the ROM to my phone it was unzipped and that made twrp not see it as a ROM its all fixed now
