So after a lot of reading here on xda, I was able to install the CM11 Kitkat rom. What I've noticed with the rom is that there is not google apps that is predownloaded. I have a google app zip here and I flashed the file in the costum recovery but it doesnt appear installed when I reboot the phone. Anyone have a link for a working zip goapps file?
EDIT
Nvm that, I'm pretty dumb. After searching through the app drawer it was just there all along. Pls don't answer to this thread anymore

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...
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..
Hey guys,
I just installed a custom ROM into my S2 but inside there are only basic applications and nothing related to link to google data or app inside. (Example: Google play store, Gmail, Google map, etc). i tried to install the google play store app in my phone and i opened the app, it auto close off. Can someone assist me?
Last time i facing this problem too and i resolved it by went to some webs that taught me to install something but now i cant find it. =((
Did you install *just* the ROM or did you install another package called Gapps too? From your description I'd say you forgot to install Gapps. Gapps is an acronym for Google Apps, and without it you won't be able to access ANY of the Google services. Go back to the original ROM thread and look for a link for Gapps. DL the file and follow the install instructions.......
Advice from the (semi) experienced.....
Next time, read the ROM thread thoroughly, and download everything it tells you to.....if the link is there, it's there for a reason.......

you defiantly should download gapps and install them using cwm, for more information search google for ''gapps''
Like mentioned above DOWNLOAD GAPPS for you ROM. Dont know wich ROM you have but
IF android version 4.1.0 then download gapps for that version. If you have version 4.2.1 then download gapps for that version.
that´s why you missing Playstore
I folowed the instruction and cleared my device in the recovery menu. Idid not install gapps.
After that I installed Osmand and GPS Status. Non of them gets a GPS Fix. GPS Status do not show one satellite and the GPS Icon itself in the Info area do not appear while I use an App who need GPS.
what should I do?
Cyanogenmod I use at moment:
cm-10.2-20130914-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip from get.cm

install the Gapps meant for CM 10.2 and then check
Pleas Explain that.
That seams strange. What has Google to do with GPS?
I did not install gapps becaus I am looking for a minimal version. I Only need the Play Store. I do not net maps, gmail, +, Feedback, Talk, hangout, etc.
Must be a bug with the 10.2 nightly version did you try mentioning this in the main thread?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I was checking out CM 10.2 latest releases and found that its a pretty well known problem here is an official CM page which lists it
Thanks a lot...
Thanks a lot for that. My Problem was in this Forum I was not able to detect the main tread. My level of knowing was not high enough.
Maybe I could take your knowledge. Did you know how I could install gapps only with the Playstore? I checked the Gapps Zip file could I delete all other apks from /system/app/ in the ZIP file?

Yes u can give it a try, but first make a nadroid bkp of ur current setup
Aslo use '7Zip' on ur PC to edit that gapps zip file then copy it on to ur sdcard (internal) and flash it from recovery and see
PS- also try updating Cm10.2 to the latest available nightly wide 'CM updater' and see if it resolves ur GPS issue

As the above poster said you could try that pretty much safely, though you must be careful in not removing other playstore related file's like play services as sometimes their lack of presence will give you a barrage of fc's from play store, other apps like YouTube, Map's etc can be safely removed, I suggest you flash gapps as it is and use an app like system cleanup to remove the system apps you don't need as it will probably remove the associated lib file's and you won't have to worry about them yourself.

What you need is gapps, flash the gapps zip through recovery (after flashing your rom) and everything should work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
Gapps should do it like mentioned before. The store relies on other files to work- hence why on devices with Gapps installed there is both "play store" and "play services", the latter of which is hidden from the app drawer.
Thank you, i will get the gapps ,but i have one question? how would i flash it to my phone , i flashed the rom on my phone with the coustom flash tool tool for s890 that was in the file i loaded from needrom after i unsecsessfully tried to load row rom, and got the vertical colourd lines on my phone so i know how to flash the std rom but i would appriciate it if you could tell me how to install the Gapps
To put the google store files on i rooteded it with framaroot,and used es file manager and root explorer
to put them in the system app file
thank you
