I recently installed nightly build #6 of cm7 for the first time and I don't have market, Gmail,etc. I have searched the forums and have already tried installing Google apps via rom manager. My phone enters recovery for a split second then rebooted and still no apps. Also my Rom manager is no longer the premium version. Any help would be appreciated!

I don't use any of the nightly builds of CM7.
However, I don't understand why you can't just place the apk onto your root and click to install.
Or better yet, use root explorer and just place the entire apk into the apps folder.
Those 2 aren't options?
Unfortunately I'm not near a computer and I'm brand new to cm7 so I wasn't sure if there is just a quick fix. Also I would like to know how I can get my apps back without having titanium anymore and no market..

Hi guys...
I have some problem on my Vibrant of Android Market App not connecting (due to some unknown reason with my Google account). So, I decided to download and install Clockwork ROM Manager manually. I did so successfully. Now, I cannot figure out how to install Clockwork Recovery? The official site just gives me a .zip file. I don't know what to do with this .zip file. And I cannot download it from within CW ROM Manager, it gives some internet error...
If someone can guide me step by step, it would be awesome...
Thanks a lot in advance...

extract the contents of the .zip to anywhere on your sd card. then use a file manager of your choice (astro, linda) to locate the .apk and install it to your phone. however, keep in mind YOU ALSO NEED TO HAVE THE PREMIUM LICENSE APK INSTALLED IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. once ROM manager is up and running on your phone, just flash Clockwork through that.
edit: this is objective advice to help out, but please know that I do not support outside downloading of paid apps. and you might want to be careful because Clockwork is huge on this forum, and there are A LOT of supporters. you should be asking how to fix your market problem, not how to install ROM Manager for free. just my thoughts, good luck
Thanks for the reply...
I have installed ROM Manager through the apk file that I downloaded. But now how do I flash Recovery? The zip file is supposed to be for Recovery, but how do I do it?
Do I need to go into Recovery Mode and then click on the "Re-install Packages" thingy??? If yes, do I need to rename the zip file?
Your help will be greatly appreciated...

you need to flash the recovery through ROM manager....if thats not working its probably because you dont have the premium license for ROM manager downloaded. its used to protect against piracy...........why arent you trying to figure out how to fix your market instead
I did post a thread here but I didnt get much help...
I am not able to log into my Google account or any other Google based service (including Gmail and Google Maps). ROM Manager is also giving some internet error...
I am connected to WiFi and can use internet on my browser. Can do everything in the browser, including logging into Google...
So, if you can provide some help on this issue, that would even be nicer...

There are a few place where its mentioned to remove this folder: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
Now how can I reach this folder? How can I access the terminal? If there is a separate app for that, which one is a good one and from where can I get it? (Remember I cannot access Android Market...)
Mannnnnnnnnn.......
I am learning a lot of new things since I bought my Vibrant...
So I was finally able to add my Google Account to my Vibrant... The Android Market and other Apps using Google are still not opening on Wifi, its very strange... I can use internet on my browser but the apps are still not able to use Wifi...
I hope I can figure this out as well, with your help...
Hi!
I bought an x10 a week ago and have been trying various roms on it and it's fun.
I have a market problem with 2.1 roms modded or default and I have tried everything including formatting sd card and using xrecovery to format sys etc...
I cannot download apps from the market on any 2,1 roms only 2.2 and above work fine.
I see in all the 2.1 roms that the market has the history of downloaded apps but won't install them either so I would like to use root explorer and delete the market directory and hope to resolve this problem.
I have tried some 2.2 roms but I would like to use a 2.1 rom with working cam and find some cool themes but 2.1 roms are useless to me without market downloads.
please help if you know where the root directory of the market files are.
Thanks for your help
BTW I been to the website for a long time and got into phone mods on an old htc touch and thank the website and mods for hosting this great place.
Try using titanium backup, go market in the list and wipe data.
Also go to system, applications, manage application, find the market and uninstall updates.
Maybe that could help.....solves any issue i have had with the market.

Hi Mr Patchy Patch,
Thanks for your reply. Titanium backup did not work and I just used the program to wipe data and uninstall the market as suggested. (cool tip)
In xrecovery I also wiped all the choices available as well as went into the partition options and wiped everything I could there.
I have reset all phone data inside the phone and reset to factory settings in the phone with no luck. Uninstalled updates no luck
I have also used flashtool to install a generic rom with no luck in the spp installer.
I have also used sony pc suite to repair the phone and still I see I have downloads in my downloads in the market and they never complete when trying to install anything.
I am at a complete loss as to why I cannot install apps from the market on any 2.1 rom.
App installs work fine from 2.2 and up.
Any more ideas?
Cheers
Try deleting android and .android_secure folder of you sd card but make sure to copy those to a pc first.
Thanks for your reply,
I deleted the directories on SD card as recommended then went to xrecovery and wiped everything and installed factory x10 2.1 rom and setup connection and the market downloads still show the files I tried to download before and nothing will install in the app market.
Does anyone know of a 2.2 froyo rom that has everything working and some good menus?
2.3 with working cam etc??
I have no luck with phones
Maybe you can just go to your google market account and change your linked phone in the market that may be it.
Or uninstall market with manage application and use root manager clean all reference's to market
and reboot then reinstall market.apk. an sign in.
Make sure you have the market apk first.
Hi!
I tried root manager great program but no luck.
I wiped and uninstalled the vender and market update and changed my google id and no luck...
installing a generic rom either from xrecover or from the flashtool and the app downloads get stuck and never finish.
It appears I no longer have the download history on the new account with the old downloads and I guess I surrender.
I have no idea why I cannot download apps from the market on any 2.1 roms modded or generic.
Weird as hell
try opening your google talk app?

I have the same problem I've been stuck in this situation for a couple of days now and I've been searching the whole X10 forum for a solution. I've flashed to multiple 2.1 and 2.2 roms but the problem is still there. Seems like the download is running on the notification bar and in the market but nothing's happening at all. I even took out my SD card and it's still downloading. The Market.apk isn't eve listed on my phone when I want to clear the cache and uninstall the updates. I have no clue how this happened and I'm desperate to find a solution
Was hoping someone can give me some insight here because I am at a loss. I have tried countless times to get Gapps to work with Cyanogenmod 7 but the market nor any of the Google apps show up. The ROM installs fine but after flashing the Gapps package it doesnt show(yes I'm positive I'm using the right Gapps file) I have wiped everyting cache/data/dalvik, tried using the format.zip and nvflash to start with a fresh tab, that didn't work. I've tried installing Cyanogen 6 first, but for some reason that just results in a boot loop. If anyone has this problem or knows what the probelm could be it would be greatly helpful.
Thanks in advance for any help
After booting are you connecting to your WiFi access point?
Market doesn't show until you are connected to WiFi, then it will install the apps directly from the Market.
Yup Ive connected to WIFI, let the ROM run for a bit, restarted countless times. I just cant figure it out. I dont get the account setup screen either, it just goes straight into the ROM itself.
And after you connected to your WiFi did you open the app drawer and click on the Market to launch it?
At this point it should ask for your Google account, ask what Gapps from the market you want installed and then do it.
Thats the problem, the market icon doesnt exist for me to open, none of the google apps show up even though it installed successfully in clockwork.
None of the google apps will show up, though Market should, if you installed the Gapps package and are connected to WiFi.
The Gapps.zip just installs the Market and some of the supporting/needed libraries and files for accessing the Market (plus some other stuff).
Connected to WiFi, launching the Market initializes the Google sign in and the "other stuff" that lets you pick the Google Apps you want installed. It then downloads them from the Market itself.
EDIT:
What version of CM7 are you running and what Gapps package are you installing?

I installed 7.0.3 stable with the 20110307 gapps package.
I'm telling you nothing comes up to install market or any other google apps. I must have installed the ROM about 30 times now. Probably gonna end up being something stupid I'm leaving out.
Have both the Rom and Gapps on your device.
Boot in to Clockworkmod Recovery and do a factory reset, then advanced and wipe davlik cache
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the ROM and install, do NOT reboot.
Install .zip from sdcard, choose the Gapps and install
ReBoot device, connect to WiFi before doing anything else.
Market should appear when you open the app drawer. Launch it to continue.
It's been a while......but I walked my sister through it via email a few weeks ago back...

Ive tried this, it either results in a bootloop or just doesn't work but I'll give it another shot when I get home. Thanks
Try flashing a different rom along with gapps see if that works. If it does then reflash your CM7 rom along with gapps & retest, hopefully it works, if it doesn't maybe trying one of the nightly builds might work.
Did you pull the gapps file from the Cynogenmod website?
Gapps link: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
Getting same thing my self, so don't feel alone.
I am in the same boat. Have gone so far as to do a full NVFlash restore. Gapps will not show. Appears to install without error via recovery but it just isn't there. ARRRRRRRGH!!!!
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The fix....eject any microSD cards you have in your device. Plug in usb. Copy update.zip to root. Enter CWM and flash update.zip. Since Cyanogen Mod messes up file structure for some reason external SD card becomes internal and tweaks the device out. If that does not work, nvflash and reinstall CM without an sd card in the device. Hope this helps.
Thanks fosser2...
What I did,
Pulled SD card
Loaded CWM update.zip and recovery folder/file
NVflashed as I was back running V5.1 again.
Vol + power to flash CWM
use CWM to flash CMod 7.0.3
then flashed Gapps
When Cmod loads, I now see the google account and ability to install all the gapps.
Thanks again, Now I can give this rom a spin. I really like Robeets HC, but it was not stable enough for everyday yet. V5.1 has bee running great, but the Netflix on GB brought me to GB.
Having same issue
I keep trying to install google apps but the market, gmail, etc, are not appearing on my screen. Not sure what I am doing wrong but I am having the exact same problem.
Help!
Hello everyone,
I received my HPTouchpad today and updated my Webos to 3.0.4. I got Android running on my Touchpad and followed all the steps to install the Android Market. However, the market app wasn't installed. I can't find the icon anywhere. I uninstalled Android and use Webos doctor to reset my Touchpad. I repeated every steps and still not getting the market app to show up on my device.

Can you be more clear? Did you install gapps?
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO.
I had this same issue. Its not listed correctly in the how to.
You nerd to install the gaps zip from cwm. I'd post a link but i'm at work on my phone, prob easier to just do a quick search here on the forums for gapps
Go here on your Touchpad. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Download the one for CM7, then reboot to CWM, choose install zip from SD, go to your downloads folder and select to install it. Reboot back into Android and then add you Google account to Settings > Accounts & Sync (make sure you're connected to wifi) then you should be up and running with a little installer type thing appearing.
You need to add your Google account after flashing gapps, and the Market icon will appear.

I'm not a very experienced Android user, but I do know a fair bit about it, considered how much I've used it. I decided to root my phone today and I installed Cyanogenmod. I used the new Google Play app Cyanogenmod Installer, and I hooked up my phone, and I thought it had worked. It booted up Cyanogenmod, and when I unlocked the phone, it seemed to be running stock android (4.3.1, Cyanogedmod 10.2)! However, I could not find any way to access the Play Store, or anything else. I tried downloading a Play Store apk on my laptop and putting it on my computer, but after it installed, I was unable to open it. I uploaded my contacts and a couple other game files, which all worked fine, but that is all it allowed me to do. It seems that I used something called Clockworkmod, which I had not heard of, but I was wondering if there was any way for me to get all of my apps back, or at least access to the Play Store. Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

Make sure you have a Recovery installed such as Clockworkmod recovery, as you will need it for flashing stuff and for backups. After you flash CM10.x, you need to flash GAPPS - these are all of the Google Apps including the Playstore. Search for it online, CM has a GAPPS depository for downloading. Download to your device, and flash in Recovery.
