[Q] Google Mail not available in CM7

Hey,
I've switched recently from Oxygen 2.01 to CM7 RC2. I did a full wipe (factory reset/cache). Then I installed the Google Apps and had the problem that I couldn't download from the Google Market. I reflashed the Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) and now I could download from market and had apps like Google Maps.
My problem now is: I can't use Google Mail. The Market says that it is already installed on my device but it's not displayed anywhere on the phone. Neither can I choose it with the ADW launcher nor can I see the app in the settings menu of Android. I already cleared my cache again and reflashed a third time the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Or does someone know how I get to the screen where I can choose which Apps from the Google Apps packet I'd like to install ?

reflash is your best bet

If the market is saying its installed, can you uninstall via the market. Then install it again.

Can't uninstall via Market. I will try to reflash CM7.

Ok! For installation of the CM7, I normally do is wipe, install CM7, boot for the first time, don't install gapps just yet. Enter settings and enable your wifi connection. Now boot to recovery then flash the lastest gapps zip, reboot the phone and should have the apps and screen to choose which apps to install from the market. Well! It happens for the first time you use the market app of course.
That how I do things, hope it will help your situation somehow.

Now I've got Gmail installed. But I had to download the .apk file. Couldn't install it through the market.
Thread can be closed. Thanks to everyone.

Just to let you know, the gapps zip file doesn't include any market apps. It only includes the Market (vending.apk) and the Google Account Sync setup. Everything that is Google you need to get from the market.
You could of tried to have used the web market as well to install it. But seems like you didn't fully wipe it or something messed up.

I fully wiped my device twice. Market said that it was already installed but it wasn't.

Hi ekwinoks
I had promblems with the google mail installation. I found out that the Google-Mail app is not available on the german market. So i used the Market unlocker app to download the mail app.

wildfire s-market

I bought htc wildfire s with android 2.3.3. Last friday android updated to v2.3.5. But andtoid market did NOT update. Now i cannot download apps from market. Where can i get new market or how can i solve this problem? Please send me a mail to: [email protected]. thanks

Normally the market upgrades itself if you are connected to 3g/wifi and you let it open for 2-3 mins without doing anything. If this does not work download the latest market apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392200

Android market is a quiet update. Open the market for about 1 minutes and close it. Do not kill the app. It should update on it's own. Make sure your connected to a wifi network. Good luck

1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Select Manage Applications.
4. Select Market (You may have to press Menu > Filter > All to see it)
5. Select Clear cache.
6. Back out of the screen and select Download Manager.
7. Select Clear data.
8. Also clear data for Google Apps, Google Talk, and Checkin Service. Some users are reporting they had to clear data for the Browser app as well.
See if downloading from the Android Market works now.
---Found at another tech forum...
btw, what do you mean "downloaded 2.4.4"?
And if that does not help factory reset and then open the market for a minute as theq86 and MrTaco505 said... anyway I am not sure theq86's idea to post link for downloading the market was helpful in you case.

Thank you. You helped me most. I tried to clear cache in all apps you mentioned but it did not work so reseted to factory and now it works.

Google Play keeps FC'ing

Anyone have this happening on their glide?
I tried all of the following:
- clear data
- clear cache
- wipe cache on boot screen
- delete and reinstall the apk.
- 3G only instead of Wifi.
When I reset everything, all works fine until I try to update an app and that's when the FC's begin
The google play apk I have is v3.5.15
Is this what you guys have as well?
I'm seeing few other posts on other forums, but no solutions yet.

Try reselecting your Language in Settings > Language and Keyboard, after re-selecting, a media scan should occur, then try launching Market Play Store

no luck.

Damn that sucks bro. I had 3 updates and i updated with no problem. On both my KF and Evo 4G.
What rom are you using?

okay last one that i think worked on me before:
- turn off internet first, then uninstall updates on Play store
- reselect language again,
- turn data/wifi on back, wait for Market to update to Play store

I'm using Stock Rogers ROM but the phone is rooted.
I've had quite a few calls missed recently (doesn't even ring), so i think i think i think I'm gonna give it a factory reset.
maybe take a gander and some of the new custom roms out there now as well.

Wow that was painful...
Did a factory reset and GPlay still FC's
Did a full factory reset + Wipe USB and SDCard storage and GPlay still FC's (v3.5.15)
I now have found a tool that allows me to download APK's from Gplay web site and load them manually onto my phone, until Google can fix their latest version of Gplay which has affected others as well.

I flashed back to Rogers Stock a few days back to replicate your issue, but until now, my Play Store is still at v3.4.7 and no FCs. I am still investigating for I got this one before but solved it with just uninstalling updates and re-updating...

Cool how do you do this? I have a cousin of mine that has the HP touch pad with Cynagen Mod installed on it but when he goes to the store a lot of apps say not available for you're device. So then he asks me to get them and backup my app with Astro and then send him the apk. If he used the tool you use he would not need my help.

"Unfortunately, Google play store has stopped" loop. Sgs3-CM11

*I have cm11 rom installed (and root permissions of course)
Google play store crushes even though I don't open it. After I click "ok" it crushes again. And again. And again. Until I disable the app.
I have already tried to remove store updates, remove updates of Google play services, remove and re-add Google account, delete cache and data (from setting>apps>play store) but all these didn't work.
Thanks for the helpers

As well as the above try wipe dalvik and uninstall lucky patcher. I had issues the other day too but on a stock rom. A combo of all the above worked to get it running again.

I don't know what "dalvik" and "lucky patcher" are, anyway they don't appear on my apps list...

I had to make google play services as user instead of system app to make it work.

When i reinstall gapps, old gapps app data is get losted?

I have installed open gapps using aroma installer, but when after i quit a beta program of google now, i can't activate okay google on any screen in my country's language.(it only works at english default state, otherwise, won't damn work. i can't enable it) Maybe somethings not work well.
So I'm considering reinstall gapps to solve this problem. but there is one problem. I installed Chrome with gapps so, if i reintall gapps, all open tabs(more than 150) are can lost(and im not gonna log in chrome in google account, so i cant backup or get list of it)
so im asking you guys, how can i re install google now only, or reintall gapps without wiping data of chrome?
