I've upgraded my HTC Hero GSM to Froyo 2.2 with CyanogenMod 6.0
I've lost my apps - including the ability to sync with google (only exchange account listed) and no marketplace
I have the apps backed up on my computer AND SD card but cannot find anyway to reinstall them on to the phone without installing another 2.2 which comes WITH the apps - which I am reluctant to do since the CyanogenMod seems to work great
Any ideas anyone?

So i just tried various Roms and I'm very impressed. The roadblock i am facing now is how to copy my contacts from the phone to PC and back again when the ROM isn't sense based. (HTC sync isn't working)
I've tried Android Commander, but i still can't figure out how to get my contacts copied off the phone.
Any Suggestions..
if you are using 2.2 then it have option you can simply import contacts from phone to sdcard . or use MyPhoneExplorer
I had this same problem, but then I figured I could start adding my contacts as google contacts. Now all my contacs gets synced if I should decide to flash a new ROM.
Hi Guys,
I just installed the megadroid 1.4.1 ROM for my htc sensation and assuming following issues:
How to add ICS widgets? If i hold on screens I only get possibilites to change wallpaper, no widgets or anything else :/
2:
Rom did not download apps and data that was synced before with Google. Of course I checked after installing that the phone should sync with Google.
Further on if I browse on the android market on computer and send installation via browser with apps, nothing happens.
Something I broke up myself or general issue?
Cheers,
Stefan
Hi,
As ICS ROMs appear for the Touchpad, there are ways of fooling Android Market and the apps themselves into thinking they are running on a different device. I know of changing the build.prop file.
I flashed a particular rom and hoped that when I set up my google account, my previously installed apps would start downloading from the market as I had apps and settings backed up through the options.
After I had flashed, my touchpad didn't start downloading my previously installed apps via the market or sync any settings. When I looked on my settings in the web version of the market, my previous incarnation of my touchpad had been removed from the device list and replaced by the freshly installed one. I could tell because the friendly name given to my device had disappeared and make and model had returned to HP Touchpad (It was previously set by me to Samsung and GT-i9100 through the build.prop file)
There were 3 other devices in my list, my current phone, my old phone and the CM7 version of my touchpad. This has lead me to believe that under the hood the market must be recognising the device from poissibly some serial number / ID of the device and the version of android running. I am thinking it can't just be the serial as the CM7 entry would have gone when I installed and linked the CM9 version.
So the market has removed the old CM9 entry and added the new CM9 entry, so it knows there is a link, but has failed to then get my apps and settings back. Is this due to the Make and Model no longer matching?
I hope somebody knows how this all works and then maybe we could have a sticky to advise when reflashing your device what to do to make sure the market sees it as the same device so the app restore and sync work ok.
Thanks everyone

You should just use Titanium backup to restore your apps and settings. However I know that when I signed into my google account, my TP started downloading apps i have on other devices (however I had ICS on my nook before, but not currently; maybe thats where it was getting it from).
Hey guys,
i am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 since yesterday.
I wanted to resync my contacts with my phone from the software MyPhoneExplorer (a great tool by the way).
I synced it after having some trouble because of the new usb debugging security policy of Android 4.2.2 and all the contacts...suddenly were in my google account.
I would never ever want that to happen. I deleted them all online via my browser.
Afterwards i tried to create a contact ON my phone, but i could only choose to create it for my google account.
Any idea what i am doing wrong?
Is this a bug in 10.1 maybe?
Greetings

I've got a couple questions on debloating a ROM if someone could help me please. I think my questions are pretty general for any Samsung ROM, but I've provided details of my setup below just in case. I've got the ROM debloated down to basically nothing except Play Store and Phone and everything works perfect except two things...
General Info:
- Verizon Galaxy Note 3 (Non Developer Edition)
- On latest OTA OF1 for Modem, Recovery and Boot (Lollipop 5.0)
- Rooted
- Running JasmineROM 6.1 as base and working on debloating
- Can restart from beginning with official OTA OF1 update if needed due to new Root found
Questions:
1. I've found that I must go through the official Samsung Setup Wizard after a factory reset for the built in Samsung Task Manager to work. If I remove the Samsung Setup Wizard, the built in Samsung Task Manager will NOT work after a factory reset. I guess the Samsung Setup Wizard enables the Samsung Task Manager? My issue is I have to remove the Samsung Setup Wizard due to the debloating of other Samsung apps or it will crash in a loop after a factory reset and I'll have to start over with the OTA as mentioned above since I'll be locked in the crashing setup wizard loop. I understand I could just not do a factory reset after debloating as the built in task manager keeps working, but I'm trying to make a ROM out of this to make my life easier later if I want to factory reset. Is there a way to manually enable the built-in Samsung Task Manager without completing the Samsung Setup Wizard?
2. Google account Sync error: "Sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly" shows up under my Google account under Settings. This only shows up after I debloat and continues even after I do a factory reset on my customized ROM. I did NOT debloat anything Google app wise that was part of the base ROM. All the Google Apps I install (Chrome, Gmail, Voice, Contacts, etc) do sync perfectly fine, however. I'm not sure what's causing this error now, but it will not go away and I'm not really sure what's not actually syncing. Any ideas what it could possibly be?
Thank you!
UPDATE:
1. I could never find out how the Samsung Setup Wizard activated the Samsung Task Manager so I simply just went without the option to do a factory reset. Considering we have root on 5.0 now, I'll just start from scratch if needed.
2. I figured out what the issue was with the Google sync. Considering I debloated everything down to basically the Phone and Play Store apps and built it up with my own apps, the sync broke because the Samsung Calendar was part of that debloating. The Google Sync error was because it was trying to sync my Google calendar data, but had no application to sync it with. It was hard to find because the Calendar data did not show up in my Google account list with everything else since no app was there. Once I added the calendar apk back, everything started to work again. I tried to install the Google Calendar app, but had no luck because no other Calendar app would work without the stock Samsung Calendar apk for some reason. The stock Samsung apk activates some "calendar storage" of some sort, I guess.
I hope this information is able to help somebody.
