Yesterday i installed Kaosgingerbread rom to my eris and it worked sucessfully...but i found out that all of my apps are gone EVEN MY APP MARKET the only app i have is superuser so now there is no market to get rom manager.! WHAT DO I DO?! i need help asap please if you are reading this help me an and if anyone knows what to do reply or something!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much//// o yea and also my messeging works but when i try to add a gmail account it wont load successfully to..
You need to find the appropriate gapps zip file and flash it along with the new ROM to get market back. Flashing a new ROM will almost always delete everything on the phone.
OK i am kind of new to this sorrry for being a pain in the butt but can you explain it more because i really like the rom and all but besides the fact that i dont have the marketplace it sucks...so if its possible can you explain step by step and if not would it be possible to contact you through something like xbox or maybe email?

Most, but not all of the time anymore when you flash new ROMs you have to flash the GAPPs (Google Apps) package immediately after flashing the ROM, before you reboot into the ROM. Otherwise things like Market and GMail aren't there and you have a crippled phone.
You have to start over from scratch from recovery doing a factory reset/data and cache wipe and then flash the ROM and then the GAPPs.
Enjoy!!!

Not really true. When i flashed my rom I reboot to homescreen, then flash gapps from recovery. No need to reflash the rom.

AFAIK, this advise given by most of the devs in their ROM threads was based on some reports, from time to time, that people who hadn't flashed the GAPPs before booting the ROM, and flashing it after caused their phones to not behave correctly. Flashing it immediately eliminates any possibility that someone might have a problem with that particular part of it, so it's wiser to be cautious and just give the blanket advise to do it immediately than to chance that with some ROMs or some phones, problems might arise.
yea well.. anyone wanna post a tut. on how to do this or something

Download the gapps file from kaos thread. Place gapps zip along with the Rom zip to the root of your sd card. Reboot into recovery. Wipe/factory reset. Wipe dalvik. Flash Rom. Flash gapps. Reboot. Enoy.
That is very true. You'll get the jist of things when u flash roms more often
wait i havent done anything yet but is there a way to restore my phone just back to factory settings?
OK WELL I AM TRYING TO INSTALL GAPPS ONTO MY PHONE FROM MY COMPUTER BUT IT WONT RECOGNIZE MY "DEVICE"/ USB PLUG IN so now what do i do?

Reboot both devices (with the phone unplugged from the computer to start with) and try again. Also, you can mount the SD card via USB directly from Amon RA or Clockwork Mod Recovery. Something like Mount USB-MS in Amon. In Clockwork Mod, it's in the partitions menu.
So I recently moved from Team Whiskey's ROMs for the Vibrant to CM7 Nightlie #22. So far have been absurdly impressed with it. However, the next day ( today ), #23 came out.
I've tried glancing around the interwebs for advice on the subject, but nothing is really clear. Tend to have noticed that about CM7, is the help and wiki for it tend to be a bit vague and what not.
Anywho, I'm mostly curious to what is the most painfree way of updating to the newest nightlie? ROMManager Premium or Clockwork Mod method are both known to me. I can easily do either one, but I am more trying to figure out which one would be the less work? Would both methods leave me having to redownload all the applications and restore backups each time I update to a newer version of CM7?
Use rommanager premium.easy as pie.

So no wiping? .....
Sent from My CM7 Monster
when using rom manager prem, make sure u pick vibrantMTd and 3x NOT 2x. And for ur first cm7 nightlie always choose all 3! wipe dalvik, wipe data, backup roms. And when u update ur cm7 nightlie then u only have to choose 2 of the 3 but to be better off always wipe ur first cm7 nightlie.
Movieaddict, I already have CM7 on my phone. Was asking if an update to a newer nightlie had to wipe my phone for each install. I.r. Having to reinstall apps and all, etc.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
u do not need to wipe anything just load on and flash the latest nightly
so if its not ur first nightlie, then u should know theyll aks u if u want to wipe data? yes or no??
Movieaddict, two problems I am getting out of your posts. One, you're contradicting what Kin says, and two, you don't seem to be reading what I am posting.
I said I just went from Team Whiskey's ROM to CM7 Nightlie #22. The next day, #23 came out. I am considering installing it, I know both methods to do so, but my question, and apparently the question of the internet that is so hard to get answered, was if updating from an older/previous nightlie to a newer one would require a wipe and having to reinstall all apps and restore data, etc.
Again, Kin gave a clear answer. But then you contradicted it again.. So.. I'm now back to square one, confused and unwilling to update until I have a better reply. So far you haven't been too helpful. Mind if I get advice from someone else?

Read that quote very carefully! U came from cm7 #22 correct, so if ur updating it and not installing it for the first time then u dont have to do a wipe data. As i say in my quote above in rom manager premium they will ask u to check off 3 things wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom as i said before. and if ur just updating to #23 then only choose wipe dalvik and backup rom but i said that already in the quote above from my earlier post. I dont know if i can make it any clearer?
again when u updating ur nightly wiping is not neccesary because all the neccesary info/component is already on ur phone and updating the nightly just only add new things to it so wiping are not neccesary and no all ur data and apps will still be there because ur only updating not flashing an entire new rom

Yes, but as I said. I cannot trust your opinion due to how you didn't apparently read my posts, and contradicted other replies. I'm not going to risk my phone and data on such an iffy set of circumstances.
So, I'll wait until someone else wanders in here and verifies.
people like u make me wanna not wanna help people ur very unappreciative! I made it very clear. Not worth my time...................
You don't have to do anything in life except die. But unless you don't want any headaches, listen to the people giving you advice, they know what they're talking about.
what is the best way to install the nightlies now? i have tried the fool proof tutorial and it never seems to install properly, just keeps taking me back into cwm. can i just flash nightly 62 from cmw 2.x? whats the deal?
When running CM7 (or any 2.2/2.1 rom), the easiest way is make sure you can get into cwm by hand. If you can, then dl the latest nightly (you can still do this using rom manager premium), make sure toy have gapps, reboot into recovery, and flash by hand.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Once I have cm7 on the phone, I download the new nightly and run cmw then select install rom and point to the new file. I leave the check for wipe cache and it keeps my info. It even works with the glitch kernel.

Just wipe and flash CM7 or your CM7 nandroid backup.
Easy to go back and forth between any ROM's. I have 4 different ROM's backed up that I go back and forth between.
it' svery easy. In recovery you have to wipe system, cache and dlavik and then you have to flash new rom from zip file
I suggest a full fast boot wipe , just be in the safe side
You could use the fast boot script found in the dev section to fully wipe
I found it useful when switching from cm7, motor blur and cm9
Also keep in mind you could lose the pds config between flashes

=)
Right... thanks !!
I always do a nandroid right before updating, if I don't like the rom or something goes wrong I can revert to my last rom from cwm.
What is the use of flashing clockworkmode??
cant we just root the device=>flash cm7???
and after I flash cm7 can I do a recovery??
You can't flash CM7 without a recovery

I think you don't understand what a "Custom recovery" actually means...
And by the way, LGDRM, KDZ Updater and fastboot can update firmware without an installed recovery

What are these procedures you are talking about? And are you saying that you were confused yet you still managed to flash cm7?
You should read the stuff in the links I posted. It doesn't get any simpler than that. If you are still confused after reading those links, I suggest you stop what you are doing and continue on with your life

You need a custom recovery to flash roms such as cm7. It is also used to make a backup of your phone and wipe the data on your phone. How is it that you've flash cm7 (which means that you've also used your recovery before) yet you don't know the purpose of having a recovery? I think you're going way to ahead of yourself.
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
I'm guessing it's more of a case of he's flashed cm7, using the recovery to do so, but doesn't understand the behind-the-scenes procedures that go into the actual flashing.
you need to read the sticky thread if you dont know basics
Think of custom recovery as the basic setup/installer tool for anything and everything related to custom ROMs, kernels, etc. .
kdz and lgdrm are only for stock(OEM)/official releases.
The reason you need it, because it's the only way to do it and carrier's don't give you access to change your ROM. Does Microsoft put mod chips/software in xbox 360? No, hell no, they only give you limited access and regulate what content can be yours.
Custom recoveries come with features that you normally can't do, like nand(full phone backup) backup.
It's this way because that's how it has to be done.

Just because your phone is "rooted" dosent mean you can install a rom like a app, you need to use clockwork mod, why do you need it? you need it because it allows you to perform actions that you couldn't do on a stock phone. With clockwork mod you can back up your system files, restore system files, install new roms for use or testing. If your phone is just "rooted" all it means is you can now access system files, use certain "root required" apps, being rooted is step #1 to installing clockwork mod, its like your phone is unlocked, if you just want your phone rooted to delete some system apps thats fine, but it is wise to flash clockwork mod because it can prevent your phone from being bricked and now you can install roms. so the answer is pretty simple, how else would you install a rom without clockwordmod? you couldnt so its just one of those things you need, hope this helps man

apart from all this custom roms come packed as zip files n kdz updater or lgdrm doesnt recognize these files so u need to hace custom recoveries like cmw or twrp or amonra

I don't think that you could do that... since the phone doesn't even come with CM7 in the first place. Doing a factory reset / restore wouldnt bring the phone to stock CM7. Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it bring the phone back to FroYo since that's what it came with?
CM7 is already a custom ROM so there is nothing stock about it... Stock means whatever the phone came with from the box (FroYo) CM7 is Gingerbread.

If your running cm7 or any rom you can do a factory/reset through the rom your using, it will just erase all info but wont delete the rom and it will delete apps so when you reboot you will have to set up Google account like a new phone, cm7 will still be installed and your current rom it will just be like new, to do a factory reset go to settings, security then hit factory reset, reboot and then back to a clean start on cm7 there will be a option to erase everything on the SD card, hit no if you want to keep all files on your SD or hit yes if you want it all gone, goodluck p.s the only way you can go back to stock is to flash a stock rom and if you made a backup of your stock rom before you flashed cm7
