Hi, I'm new to CM7.1.0 on my Verizon Samsung Fascinate ED05. It installed fine, and I flashed the gapps available.
* update-cm-7.1.0-Fascinate-signed.zip
* gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip
* gapps-gb-20110828-signed.ziip
I cannot add any accounts via Exchange. Hotmail. Live. Msn. Google. Yahoo... Nothing works. It Gives me an error:
(Setup could not finish
Unable to open connection to server.)
I'm trying to add Gmail accounts. All my contacts and calender info is backed up and synced to my Gmail. I've managed to import my contacts via vCard, and I can make phone calls, surf the internet, and text... Emails are nonexistent.
Can someone help me plz? I love CM... but it looks like I'm unable to use it?
Thank you.

Ok... it's a good thing I have Titanium Backup. I ran into the problem before so I backed up all my google services. With a little trial and error...meaning, I had to flash CM7 a few times to get the backup sequence right... not all google services can be used on CM7... I managed to fix this huge whole in CM7.
I installed:
Setup Wizard 1.3 (not included in CM7)
google backup sync (not included in CM7)
Android Market (not included in CM7)
It works so far.
I think the best place to start would be to re-flash Gapps, or if that doesn't work, try a data wipe and repeat the initial setup process. I have flashed CM7 MANY times(too many to count) and had all manner of problems getting it to run when we were still on unofficial releases but have not had any problems since the stable release. Let me know what ends up working for you.
Make sure your flashing gaaps in the right recovery. I flashed it in the wrong one and it didn't stick, so I used the power button, reboot into recovery and flashed it that way ans it worked.

Thanks guys.
I flashed originally in cwm-recovery-ALL.tar which is 2.5.7.1 I think. Orange. It's very stable and works great... but when CM7 boots up, and I go back into recovery... it's the recovery that comes with CM7 which is 5.0.2.6 Blue.
All the flashing seemed to work. I just had a hell of a time getting the Titanium Backup sequence installs on the google services that I need to get the accounts working and synced.
Thank God for Titanium backup.
I don't understand fully why CM7 won't include the google account setup wizard. Someone told me it's illegal? So what... rooting the phone voids all warrantees anyway.
Whatever. I got it working. There are still a few bugs I need to log and report, but so far... I'm finally running CM7 at 1400SetCPU.

go here and download Gapps for you and you will have all the acounts back: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386680:cool:

[Q] Browser doesn't work on CELB Froyo 4.3 =(? HELP!
1. Check 3G signal, basically is the internet working?
2. Try re-flashing CELB and make sure to flash the latest gapps too
It would be more helpful if you gave a more in depth view of your browser problem.
it would help you more if you posted this issue in CELB's thread. You will get better answers faster by people who use the rom and that may have came across the isssue
When i try to reply it says i can't and should start using the Q&A Thread? smh

That's due to a recent change in XDA's site policy - new users can not post in the development sub-forums until they have at least 10 posts in other forums. So, you were right to post your question here, as you had no other choice. DirtyBubble apparently wasn't aware of this either, or he wouldn't have said that.
I tried a fresh install of 4.3 last night (w/ gapps 12/28), no bootloops, but no market access or Google account setups either. I'm going to look at a few different installs in a couple minutes - check back in this thread later.

I tried the following 3 trials:
Before starting, I did a Nandroid backup (from within ROM Manager/Clockworkmod) of my existing ROM - CELB 4.1. (I am not sure of whether this 4.1 ROM had gapps 12/28 in it or not - I believe it does, but iirc they were installed on a CELB 3.9 ROM, and then just overflashed to 4.1)
1) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Flash CELB4.3, Flash gapps 12/28
Result: account setup does not occur; market app crashes or closes immediately. Tried doing a FR on this; next boot the kernel actually crashed. Didn't bother to check the browser**
2) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Flash CELB4.3, Flash gapps 10/18
Result: Provided account creds; phone sync'ed just fine and restored settings; Market works; Web Browser worked.
3) Wipe Cache, Wipe Data/FR, Restore CELB 4.1 from Nandroid backup; Flash CELB4.3; Wiped CACHE ONLY.
Result: Everything works, including stock browser.
** I didn't bother to check the browser in this case because I have little interest in using a ROM without a Gmail account; it did occur to me later, though, that the default setting of the browser has been to use location-services, and that the stock browser has exhibited crashes on startup on other ROMs that did not have a Google account configured. You can turn this off in the browser - but only if it doesn't crash, because you need to get to the browser settnigs menu to deal with this, so that is impossible in this case.
I don't know if that is your issue or not, but you could try turning off location services in the Settings menu and see if that makes any differences. (I don't know if that will work, but it is easy to try). Anyway, that's two solutions: either overflash 4.3 on top of a prior CELB ROM, or do a clean install of 4.3 using the 10/18 gapps. (If you do the former, you can only wipe cache at the end if you are using ClockworkMod - or manually via ADB if you are booted into Amon_RA).

I installed one of the custom roms (could be cyanogenmod7 beta) for Wildfire 1-2months back, and come across a very handy app/tool, where I can sync contact with my older phone via bluetooth. To do that, i dont even have to select all the contacts from my older phone and send it to my Wildfire. I only have to pair it and connect, select the phone model that im using and press ok, and see it magically sync the contacts over from my Sony Ericsson K610 to my Wildfire.
But the rom wasn't stable, so I restored the original rom back to my phone. I couldnt remember what the app was called, or is it a build in function/tool for stock Android rom? Recently I install the stable version of Cyanogenmod 7 and couldnt find this tool anymore, been searching all around android market and Google too but to no avail.
Anyone come across this wonderful bluetooth contact syncing app/tool?
It's a feature present in the Stock ROM's. It's called Data Transfer (Or simply Transfer, can't remember exactly)
EDIT: Transfer Data, thanks to this YT video.

THANKS! thats what i was looking for, how come this wasnt bundle with Cyanogenmod 7
By the way, where can i get this app?
Its an HTC App, so it wont be bundled with CM.
If you specifically want to use this app, you will have to get a Sense ROM.
Or, you can use one of the many PC Apps which can backup your contacts from your K610 and import them into your Wildfire. (Including the SE Suite which is included on your disc)
EDIT: Someone has posted it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970907
Although it will probably not work with CM7, you can still give it a try.

The custom sense ROM i used previously doesn't comes with Transfer Data. probably being removed by the ROM developer. Anyway thanks for the info, the TransferData.apk in the link you posted earlier is not workable, with error message "INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES"
In that case, just use a SAFE RUU. They are untouched Releases, with only the Radio and Updated Bootloader Removed.
Try this one:

Or, you can install WildPuzzle. It definitely has that installed. (Just checked its install ZIP)
Couple issues after updating to jt's Vanilla GB tonight (link). I used the 2.3.5 vanilla GB gapps found in post #5 (gapps_update-2.3.5-gb-20110725-signed)
Flashed GB, loaded, rebooted recovery, flashed gapps, and when it starts the next time, I get the google account login which gives me the option to load some apps though not all. Those download, but then when I go to market, it doesn't show any of my other apps.
It grabs my gmail contacts, but not any numbers.
I have a titanium backup with everything (apps, data) but I'm not sure if I should use it
I also have myBackup with everything but it could not find the backup after I manually downloaded the app from the market, and searched my sd card.
Also, maybe I should put this elsewhere, but after one call, the volume does seem to be pretty low.
(I'd post this in the dev thread, but I'm too new)
Flashed to the nightly CM7, with gapps-gb-20110613-signed.
Market shows my apps now, but still only email contacts, no numbers.
Call volume still low (not getting fixed until later, I now know) This is pretty important to me, so I'm looking for a different ROM. Any suggestions?
Hi,
I am new to the forum and new to rooting/flashing mods as well. I have the AT&T version of the Galaxy S2. I just recently rooted and flashed the most recent CM9 nightly on my phone and everything worked great except a, what i hope to be, minor issue. When I first rebooted my phone after the flash, everything looked great but It was apparent my GAPPS zip had not installed correctly as I couldn't see my e-mail or the Play Store (obviously I'm needing to recover things). I re-flashed GAPPS, rebooted, and I saw the Play Store and my e-mail. My problem is when I opened the Play Store, it got stuck on the sign-in. It eventually signed in, I guess (my account has a check by it if I select "manage accounts"). SO, i'm signed in but nothing is loading. I cannot do any searches or retrieve apps. Baiscally, I can't use the Play Store. My phone works fine, otherwise, and it seems the rom flashed cleanly. I followed every instruction very carefully. Please help! I need to retrieve my backup from Titanium and use the market. Don't even have my wi-fi at this point! Thank you in advance if someone can respond quickly.
UPDATE: I think i have 4.0.3 gapps instead of 4.0.4 which is obviously my CM version..this is the entire problem? I just re-flashed *without* wiping data and I'm still getting the same problem. I have the check mark but it's not loading. Cannot turn on wifi. Now Market is not updating to Play Store. What is my problem? Sorry for so much detail.

IF YOU only want the google play (market) you can use this
full wipe and reflash with latest gapps.
latest gapps are always at goo-inside.me/gapps
Could also try clearing the app data in manage apps.
THANK YOU!

Did I break my Tablet...?
I am a big PACman fan and have been using the rom on every one of my devices. I am also not new to rooting and flashing procedures and have done them on different devices many times including updating hundreds of times. PACman was quiet for a while but has started up again since August, so I was really looking forward to that until I had following problem:
1. Installed the newest rom with a factory reset beforehand.
2. Setup the device as usual.
3. Opened gmail --> Stuck on "Getting your messages"
4. Tried calendar, contacts and google music without success, as they display neither my music, contacts nor my calendars.
5. Drive and Maps are working though...
I have now done the following:
- Reverted all the way back to stock 4.1, rooted and upgraded to 4.4.2 stock.
- Flashed boot.img from PAC rom and installed it with gapps. Everything went perfectly.
- Added my google account during the setup process, opened gmail --> stuck on "getting your messages"
- Added a second google account, which is also not syncing.
Before this I already tried using different gapps (PA, CM, Banks), doing a playstore and play services reset. I am really not new to this and this is the 5th device I own that I rooted and installed custom roms on. My phone has PAC and is working flawlessly. I'm really lost here and would appreciate any ideas or help.
Rom versions I tried: nightly from 12th, 18th and 323rd with clearing cache and dalvik after install.
Gapps: Banks, CM and PA gapps 11th, 18th
When installing AOSB project, everything works flawlessly!
Something I am missing here? Please help!! This is getting so frustrating...
PS: Here are three screenshots of how it looks like (weird is that there are no timestamps in the sync tab)

the problem is in P.A.C ROM builds or in Gapps.

PAC rom can't be the problem, as all other users report no errors. I have tried different Gapps (always checked MD5 sums...) and this issue doesn't resolve. I am looking for any new ideas on the issue.
Personally I cannot explain the issue myself
So if anyone has an idea, please help!
Search for another boot.IMG, there have been issues with the cm boot and wifi modules, maybe the same with the PAC boot.IMG low/ connectivity would explain the lack of sync time stamps
