I just did a fresh install of CM9 on my Nook Color. It looked good so I went to download all the software I had in my Play account. Next time I went to use my tablet the Launcher was missing. Is there a way to get it back?

I did a reboot in the recovery mode. I get a gapps installer not found. I have installed the gapps program. Should I try a different one or start over from scratch again? I would like to avoid this as I have already installed most of my apps already.

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!!!!

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!
I have a gtab with custom ROM Calkulin-Clemsyn Combo Overclock at 1.5ghz V6. It came with VTL Launcher V1.6.1 installed and running great.
I tried to update to VTL Launcher V 1.6.5 without any luck. It goes through the install process but I get a message "Application not installed."
What am I doing wrong???
Thanks.
You're not really doing anything wrong. THe market identified that you have the app, but since you didn't download it from the market (it came preinstalled) it may not install it becuase of that.
just go here:
http://vegantab.gojimi.com/vt-labs/vtl-launcher/
and download the APK and sideload it.
File link: http://vtlab.com/downloads/VTLLauncher_1_6_5.apk
They have instructions on their website, so I suggest you read them first
Still No Luck
I downloaded the app to a thumb drive plugged into the gtab, and opened the file. Told to install, but get the same "did not install" message.

Might be worth trying to uninstall the old one before you try to install the new one. Havent seen this on my gtab, but it happens on my phone sometimes. Uninstall using the Applications settings (or moving the apk if that does not work).
Since it is probably your default launcher you might have to download some other launcher (launcher pro?) and maybe Home Switcher to switch to it, make sure it works, before you uninstall VTL.
Anyway backup your rom (using CWM), before you try removing any system app in case you end up launcher less.
It's pretty easy but a guide never hurts!
The first way is to download apks straight from the internet. Credit to yaggermr for finding this first. Thread Here
1. Find your apk. Heres some to get you started
Go Launcher
Amazon appstore! You need to enter your email and they will email you a link.
2. In your notification area, when the download is completed click on it to open it. A popup will appear click the second option package installer. Now click on install. and you are done!
3. To find your apps click the nook button then click search and start typing in the app you want.
The second way is to use ES file explorer I was able to install apk's I had on my SD card through ES.
GO Launcher
**** started new thread ****
I have a rooted NT and GO Launcher v2.65 running with little to no problem except that everytime I reboot any widgets I have added report back:
"Problem loading widget"
None of the apps are loaded on the SD-Card. I've tried a clean install with a reroot with nothing done except Go Launcher and a gapp or two to test the widgets but still get the error. Am I the only one?
On a side note after I rooted I didn't have to search for the Go app link anymore it just accepts the default setting.
Thanks in advance.

This is a Go Launcher error, the program's data has become corrupted. Clear the program cache and then go to the Go Launcher settings and restart the program.
I don't know what happened, but I can't download anything from google play. When I click install on any app, it just get stuck at "Downloading...." and it never downloads the app.
running CM9, and just updated to latest 20120429 release and its still not working. I already tried wipe date/factory reset.
any ideas?

i had this problem with my first android phone
the solution was to re-run the phone setup (like you get when you turn on the phone for the first time), maybe the touchpad has something similar?
Have you tried deleting the app data (Settings => Apps => Google Play => clear settings), and then re-flashing the GApps package ?

Tried all of that, still not working.
Another thing, I could never get CWM to install, always had to flash through novacom command.
One fix on a phone was to open a terminal app and type the following:
Su <enter>
Killall drmserver <enter>
Don't type the enters just hit enter let us know if it works

Hi
First of all did you reflasg your GAPPS also after flashing with latest build of CM9? If no then you need to flash latest GAPPS from this site.
goo-inside.me/gapps
Also after that varify that you system date and time are correct in your settings. This could be another reason that google play doesnot load at all.
Hope this helps.
I abandoned Android for a while and used WebOS on my Touchpad. But today I decided to reinstall Android again with the latest CM9 nightly. I'm still getting the same problem. Here are the things I already tried:
- Installed latest CM9 nightly, CWM, and the latest gapps from goo-inside.me/gapps, this time I actually got CWM to work.
- Wiped data/cache, ran the google setup again.
Google Play still won't install anything, it just hangs on "Downloading". I can install apps manually by downloading the APK files from the browser. What else can I try to fix this?
Maybe you can try to wipe out all the data

may be you can wipe out all the data , and try again to install gaaps, i do it twice, everytime i wipe all the data, i have to reinstall all my apps, so you can just go into the advance option of the start menu
I had the downloading from marketplace error before when I used titanium backup to uninstall/freeze things i thought phone didn't need, some of them it needed, but if you did clean install/reset and still doesn't work, i doubt it is this
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.
