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!
I was playing the game 8 Ball Pool made by Miniclip and one day the app froze and my phone, so I was only able to go to the power menu and restart.
Once it did, I tapped on the game and my phone said app is not installed. So I went to play store to download again and it gave an error saying something like "Couldn't Install On USB Storage Or SD Card". And when I tried to install by downloading the apk from another source it says: x application not installed".
I've tried things I searched on google like: Unmounting my usb drive, clearing data from all my google apps and the download manager, I've even flashed a new KitKat rom for my HTC Vivid. I still get the same problems.
The same exact thing happened to me. Have you found a solution yet? Ive tried everything you have and still nothing!
i'm unable to install '8 ball pool ''apk'' , however im able to install it from playstore.
any solution? I want to install the older version.
same with me guys..any solution?
Why can't install 8 ball pool Samsung Galaxy tab 4
please I want to solutionot it
solved for me
un-mount your sd card install game remount card
cant post url to directions
So after searching extensively for an answer and after not receiving any help via the Venom support page I have resorted to this forum for answers.
After I flashed Viper rom 5.0 it gave me the option to install native HTC apps, which I did select. However, only a few of the HTC apps installed, I am still missing HTC's clock, and calendar app. I have tried installing the apk to which I get the message; "app not installed" and when I try to install from the Play Store it won't let me download it and instead says, "your device is not compatible with this version". Does anyone have a solution, or a similar problem? Thank you for any help you can give me!
I rooted my tablet with CF Auto Root with odin. I had TWRP recovery installed but the root deleted it, I now have stock recovery. I have CM on the tab and 6 apps: AudioFX, Contacts, Google Settings, Play Store, Settings and Themes. I don't have a web browser, I don't have a keyboard, no bluetooth, no file manager.
What I tried to do was to install Gapps and CM from my SD card via the recovery but I get a error when trying to install both: "e:signature verification failed".
I also tried to install a new recovery via odin but it freezes on: "setupconnection:" and after 1 minute it says "FAILED"
I also added 3 apk's on the SD card: TWRPManager.apk, googlekeyboard.apk and webbrowser.apk but i cannot install them without a file manager. I need to download a file manager from the internet or Google Play. I don't have a web browser, so from the internet is hard. But when I open Google Play I get a error: "Google Play Service has stopped working". And even if I didn't get this error I would not have been able to enter my password to Google becuase I have no keyboard. And I can't connect an Bluetooth keyboard becuase Bluetooth doesn't work.
I've tried to factory reset it also, but that doesn't help.
Please help me.
Hi,
I am trying to get blankstore installed on my Magisk-rooted Android 10 Pixel 3 XL.
When I try to install the GmsCore, GsfProxy, FakeStore, or BlankStore APKs (from here: https://github.com/microg/android_packages__apps_GmsCore/wiki/Downloads)...
When I try to install through the Chrome downloads tab, I get an error that says "App not installed".
When I try to install through SAI, SAI tells me that the newest version is already installed on my phone in SPITE of the fact that I have never even tried to install them before BESIDES from the unsuccessful attempts at installing them through Chome downloads tab. AND, there are no icons in my app drawer for any of these apps.
What am I doing wrong, and will ALL of these apk installs produce an app icon in my app drawer?
