I'm, a total noob at this - just did my first ever SBF, root, and custom ROM flash all in one sitting three days ago (after spending many hours on here over the last week or two reading up on it). I started from a totally stock, never rooted Droid X2 that had received the 2.3.5 update during the soak - and used Moon Shadow's guides to SBF back to 2.3.4 and then root the device (using zergRUSH). I then followed dragonzkiller's guide for installing CM7.2.0-RC1. I followed all of these instructions VERY carefully and didn't have any problems at all - or so I thought.
When I booted CM7, my old background pic was still there, but everything else was new and worked great, so I didn't think anything about it (but now know this isn't right). I realized soon after that the Google apps were not loaded (Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc.), but some of the other apps in that same ZIP file (that was flashed AFTER the CM7 flash per the instructions) DID get installed (like "Talk").
I was able to download/install the missing Google apps from the Google Play Store (still hate that stupid name) without any problems and they all work perfectly (including Nav from the car dock) - and everything else has been running flawlessly. The phone is very fast & smooth... no bugs... not a single force close or reboot yet after fairly heavy use for the last couple of days.
So... obviously something didn't go perfectly with my install, but as far as I can tell, everything is fine with the phone.
My questions are:
1) How can I tell if I'm missing anything else?
2) Should I just keep what I have or do I need to SBF back to 2.3.4 and start over again?
I'm perfectly happy with it right now - but maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
p.s. I would have posted this in the CM7 install thread in the Dev forum, but I'm not allowed to post there yet.
Thanks!
Well your post indicates that nothing is wrong. lol. If you have the google apps that you want on there and working now and everything is smooth then in my opinion, you are fine just how you are.
LOL! Well, yeah... as far as *I* know, I'm fine... but this is the first time I've done this, so I don't know what I'm talking about. Just wondering if something else may not have been done that could cause problems later - or if I'm missing any other apps that I may need/want. Is there a list anywhere of all the apps that are included in that Gapps ZIP?

You can extract the zip and look at what apk files are in there.
---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------
I just did it and this is actually all thats in there:
CarHomeGoogle.apk
FOTAKill.apk
GenieWidget.apk
GoogleBackupTransport.apk
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
GoogleFeedback.apk
GooglePartnerSetup.apk
GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
LatinImeTutorial.apk
MarketUpdater.apk
MediaUploader.apk
NetworkLocation.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
SetupWizard.apk
Talk.apk
Vending.apk
Thanks. Hmmm... I don't see Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. listed specifically in there. Is it possible that those apps don't get installed automatically along with CM7 when following dragonzkiller's instructions? Maybe I'm making something out of nothing. Is there an easy way to tell of those APK's are installed on my phone? They aren't in the App drawer by those names (well, other than "Talk").
I know some of them are on the phone though (Google Quick Search box is on the home screen, my contacts and calendar all synched from Google, and the Market/Play app was there (Vending.apk?), so maybe everything that's was supposed to be there WAS there. I thought I read in a post here somewhere that Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. would be there automatically too.
Told you I was a noob!

I actually dont remember if Gmail, Maps, Nav, YouTube, etc. were there when I installed it. I really didnt think much of it and probably just installed what I needed from the Play Store. The main thing you need to worry about is being able to sign into your gmail account and getting on the play store. If you can do that, it installed fine. A lot of those APKs are system files and services. They wouldnt show in your app drawer. If you wanted to see them on your device, you would need a file explorer and navigate to the system/app directory.
Awesome... I just used "File Manager" that's already loaded and found the system\app folder. Everything is there... I'm fine. I guess the only question left is why was my old background pic still there after SBFing and wiping the big 3, but I'm not gonna worry about that. Already changed it.
Thanks for the help!

Why do some apps not show up in the Android market on the Archos 101? For example, I use an app called My Backup Pro...it doesn't show up. I searched for Lookout Mobile...it doesn't show...neither does Norton Mobile Security. I searched around but didn't find an answer to this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,

not all apps will show up... from my understanding, protected apps do not appear. i myself have been looking for a few, and had to resort to side loading them.

Paid Apps Outside US?
I installed v5-final and have done the market fix several times but I only get free apps - NO paid ones. The catch is that I am located in Costa Rica - could someone comfirm that paid apps are only available in North America/Europe. If ALL (free and paid) apps are available everywhere then I have to figure out my problem, if not, I will just buy apps like crazy when I am back in the states (unless someone knows a work-around). Thanks.
I just tried the same thing and now my market app doesn't work. Any suggestions. Thanks
Just fixed it

Titanium backup in use?
i need to ask everyone with this issue, is everyone having this issue using titanium backup, and only seems to have problems after pulling from titanium's backup?
ill give my reasoning for this question...if you are having an issue, with certain apps just vanishing from the market on your phone.... even if you know its installed....
have a look at the list of questionable apps in TB, is there a yellow ball, with NO "M" overlaying it.... this may be the issue... you may have to delete all backup s for said app that DO NOT have a "M" ...wipe that apps data (in TB) and trying to restore from a backup that DOES have the "M"
please check this out, and let me know if i figured this out right... i have spent way too long pulling my hair out over this...and it seems like this was a fix for me...so far... ill edit in a few days if it all holds out
additional, if you are getting an "app incompatible" in the market... and have changed your LCD density , you will have to change it back to its default (240 for the DX) the new market seems to check for that.. and must label the device as unusable with the app, even if you KNOW its working just fine... i hope the market gets fixed to tolerate this...but im sure its part of the NEW market compatibility check
Hi Migamix,
If you have backups that don't contain a Market link, no need to delete them because they won't interfere - as long as you restore the one that has the link, of course.
When batch restoring it's a bit different, the latest backup for the chosen platform is picked, so you have to ensure that that one has a Market link.
But in any case, if you have the PRO version you can long-click and force attach it to to Market afterwards.

the force to market did not work for me, at all...many times, many tries.. some days im on a rom flashing fest...and some of those times ive done a batch restore and had only 20 apps in my market list.. its odd but it seems the only time it worked for me was after having the market attached "M" notification on all the files i wanted...i looked at this issue after letting the market auto restore post rom install, and manually pushed a few more that were causing problems...but i saw how 80% of the apps i restored (data only) refused to keep a link to the market... poked around.... uninstalled a problem app... noticed one of my older backups had an "M" while the rest didn't...so, i used that backup, and moments later that app was available in the market, and had an update... so i went and did it with a few more.... all those apps i managed to get installed in this fashion...still after 3 days, have not dropped their market links...where as...sometimes after a force market linking...would only last an hour if at all
i wanted to post this because i saw how many others were having the exact issue...i wanted to see if there is something in the way TB communicates with the data of the market ...causing market link confusion...
it seems like there needs to be a little more work with the market tools in TB....
ps, there also a setting i messed with that changed the way TB was getting market links... i think it was turning off accurate market check...
hopefully this post doesn't require too much re-reading....im a bit of a bad multitask'r sometimes
I would post this in the Dev forum, but seeing as I never post on here I can't yet access that side of the world. I flashed the latest version of MacROM just a little while ago, no Glass or Chrome, just MacROM, with ADW as home launcher because I have EX backed up with Titanium. I have never had this happen before so don't really know what's going on here.... I had Google Maps DL from the market as I was setting the phone up, and then downloaded Titanium. I had a previous backup of Maps and did not want it to conflict with the new DL, so I deleted the old backup before I restored my old User Apps with Titanium. There's that conflict done away with, now can anyone tell me why Google Maps will not stop downloading repeatedly from the market?? When I try to click on the download bar in my Status bar, it says it cannot be found, when I try to kill the market with ATK, it keeps going, I try to kill it with Optimizer, it keeps going. At any point it will also say "Google Maps, Google Maps" then the percentage bar.........any ideas on why or maybe how I can stop it? I'm gonna reboot my phone and it may work but either way I just wanted to get some feedback. And yes, I did all the wipes. Used Clockwork for the flash.
....
Just figured I'd update from yesterday and say that after like an hour, all the downloads of the app finally stopped and gave me a failure notification. So I went back and re-downloaded Google Maps from the market and everything went like it should. App works fine, didn't find any bugs, but it still has me scratching my head about what happened at first. I'm bout to flash over to the updated MacROM or aosp gin tazz since there are some freshies out. So I just wanted to make sure that nobody else had this issue with any ROM, or with any other apps, more than likely gapps?
I can't even get passed the setup wizard on MR6. Just when I press finish, the wizard stop working and brings me back to active my phone. I press skip there but nothing else happens.
that's weird did you do all the wipes? I was without a computer for a couple days so I'm bout to flash MR7 because my download messed up and it was a bad .zip on my phone. I had flashed MR6 before this past time and it worked perfect so I can't figure out what was wrong.
I can't find a definitive answer to this. My understanding of CM is Gapps need to be installed in order to get market, maps, etc... I installed CM7 on my touchpad today. Everything went very smooth. I never installed gapps. After the initial boot up it took me through the gmail account setup. After that was done it downloaded all of the apps I currently have installed on my phone from the market to my touchpad? Now the part that confuses me. When I uninstall an app from my touchpad, it also uninstalls it from my phone? Is there an option to stop this somehow? If it makes any difference I'm using a rooted HTC Thunderbolt, running a sensed Rom.
Ok after thinking about my question and reading more. I am not completely familiar with ACMEinstaller. I got to thinking that the installer reads what I placed in the cminstall folder and installs all of the .zip files I placed in it? If that is true, I did install gapps inadvertently, I planned on seeing what the device looked like without before I installed it. I was going to go back to the recovery and install it after I familiarized myself with CM a bit. Either way, if I did install gapps, is it possible to unlink these apps from the apps currently installed on my phone, or should I just make an extra gmail account specifically for my touchpad?
They actually shouldn't be linked as far as my knowledge. Even if you have back up this device with google account selected. I have that on both my devices Atrix on CM 2.3 and my Touchpad. I have not experienced what you have. I will look into it some but someone might know something exact before i reply
I thought it was odd. I uninstalled an app that was of no significance on the touchpad. Restarted my phone and it disappeared from my phone to?
I've been having like the same issue, if I go to the android market on the browser and check the devices assosiated to my account, it does not show my tp just my phones. Has anyone found a solution for this?? if somebody has, please share it... Thanks
If you hit menu button - settings - accounts you can click on your gmail account and unselect syncing.
I think that might do the trick with it syncing with your phone.
Or if all else fails, just create a new gmail account specific for the TP.
So, I purchased a Nook 16 GB tablet with the hopes of rooting it, and that proved to be very simple. Lots of great instructions from really smart people and all that. I am confused, however, on what apps are available in the Google Play Store and what ones aren't. It was my understanding that, once rooted and flashed ( I flashed CM7 using this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512373 ) I would be able to install apps from the store, and I can, but common apps like Kindle, Facebook, BofA, etc don't show up in searches and are unavailable for download. I have searched the forums and I can't find a good thread describing how that whole process works. Is it common for these apps to be unavailable or have I done something wrong? Do they need to be sideloaded, and if so, what's the point of having access to the Play Store? Any help or explanation is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

one of the many files the google play store uses to determine what types of apps a device can download and install is called build.prop
this file contains the properties of the device, such as device name, device model, kernel, os, etc...
you might have seen some threads regarding the modification of said file which has proved to work in some cases for getting certain apps to show up in the play store.
hope this answered your question...
I to recently got a nook tablet and flashed the same rom as you. The build .prop fix worked a little bit for me. I ended up trying to change the pixel density which was a big mistake. I had soft bricked my device and had to restore a stock b&n image. I finally settled with cm9 and am LOVING it except for a few bugs. On another note, I tried to install a baseball game from the play store only to be met with "sorry, your device is rooted. Please unroot and try again".

Ok, I thought this was it, but it appears it is more complicated than that. First, I did some digging here on the forums, and found this method that everybody seemed to have luck with. I followed it to the letter, but it didn't give me the access to apps in the store as it was supposed to. Next, I flashed the CM7 Beta that I I know I am able to access the full market with. I copied the build.prop file from that build to my SD card, flashed the ROM I want, and proceeded to replace the build.prop file with the one I put on my SD card. I went in, cleared the cache and data from the market app, rebooted and... nothing. Same restrictions as before. There must be something more to this than just the build.prop file that I am missing.

well i am running cm7 beta and apps like facebook twitter bank of america, etc show up just fine. its using the stock build.prop that comes with the beta as well...
so i am not too sure why your's doesn't work.
try flashing the cm7 beta but do the following:
wipe data, cache and dalvik caches before and after flashing the cm7 beta. that might be the reason why some apps don't show up. you might still have some residue data from your previous rom that wasn't wiped off...

I looked around and did some searches but did not find this question so here goes...
In the past, I've used Titanium Backup to do this (integrate updates for system apps such as Google's Play Store and Play Services into ROM space). Not sure why, but this doesn't work for me anymore.
BTW, my Rezound is S-On, rooted, using Neo's CM11 hybrid ( 【ROM】【4.4.2】【UNOFFICIAL】CyanogenMod 11.0【02-03-14】【GPL】【HYBRID】) with dalvik.
Is there a more direct approach I could use to do this?
If a link could point me in the right direction, that might work as well.
Thanks for any help.

System App Names in /data/app Differ from /system/app
Reporting back.
I did look into the respective directories and determined the same apks are not named the same.
I also read some of the thread for BaNkS gapps and saw mentions of libs associated with private apps and those that aren't That made me wonder if there might be files (libs or other) needed for the apks in the /system/app area that differed (for whatever reason) from those in the /data/app area.
Rather than spend much time fooling with it, I decided not to try any experiments.
Still looking for other alternatives but living with what I have for now.

Thanks for popping in to reply.
That's my understanding as well; that's why I don't use it to restore any system apks. But that's not really what I'm doing.
What I do is to install the ROM and then apply any system apk updates from the Play Store.
What I used to be able to do is to "integrate" the update into the system space with TiBu and eliminate the double space-taking. I keep a lot of apps on my phone so that saves some space for me.
Until/unless I can find a safe way to do what I want, I'll just live with the excess space-taking.

Hi, sorry to necro this thread but I just looked at Ultimate Backup Lite, and read about Pro's features, and did some Googling and I can't seem to find anywhere in Ultimate Backup to integrate system updates. Maybe it can be done indirectly by backing up the system apk's update, uninstalling it totally and then restoring only the updated version, but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing the feature somewhere. In the meantime, I'll make another Nandroid and try just what I described.
With TB, the only system app update I ever have problems integrating are Google Play Services.
Thanks in advance for any insight.
Edit: well, that didn't work. Restored both exactly like they were, original apks and updates in data/app.

Too bad I didn't read all of this first.
After "integrating" with T/B, everything Google stopped working... Google Play Services, Inbox, Gmail, etc.
Believe it or not, I couldn't even delete and reinstall apps because the Play Store wouldn't even recognize my phone and I couldn't do the "locate" thing on the Play Store site to ring back the phone because apparently Location Services wasn't working.
After doing a couple of hours online for all of the error messages about Play Services unfortunately stopping, I TWRP'd the backup that I had made.
In fact, I wasn't able to re-download anything like Inbox, Gmail or Maps because believe it or not, my phone wasn't even recognized on the Play Store... it was greyed out with only my old Moto recognized.
Yet another reason for frequent backups when messing around with things that one unfortunately puts too much faith in before using.
So, long story short... there are apparently things in the original APK that need to be there in order for the update to work.
Everything is back to working order right now, unless I haven't discovered something lurking in the background.

Download Link2SD and on that, sort by Updated then press on an app, and "Integrate update to system" or something like that. I use it for Google updates too, it works perfectly, only Google Play Services FC if i integrate.. But give it a try after a backup I hope i helped!

I did exactly that but i found an issue... is it normal, that every time I integrate an update into the system rom, the available space is less? In my mind, the updated app should replace the one into the rom, so the available space in /system should be more or less the same. What am I missing...?

Reboot, clear cache and dalvik, boot and check again. Remember that most updates are larger than the original in many cases.

Hello, is possible to integrate the updates automatically? I thought to create a script...
