I am selling my incredible on ebay as a rooted phone. I cleaned out the phone and I tried reinstalling Gapps through HBoot/recovery on the phone and installing it through the SD card. I then rebooted the phone and it wasnt on there. I tried installing it on rom manager but it wouldnt let me because I needed to install something else. But I can't because I dont have any service/wifi...

Is there a way I can install Google apps on this thing before I sell it ?? or get rom manager to work to install of sd card?

Thanks..
 
What ROM do you have on the phone? Is clockworkmod recovery installed? Which gapps version did you try to flash and where did you obtain it? What error message did you get?

Not sure why gapps would be missing in the first place unless you just flashed a ROM that didn't already have it...but in that case you ought to be able to flash other things too.

Are you sure you don't have a Market icon in your app drawer? When Gapps is installed, you would still need to sign into the Market to download some of the Google apps, and until then they'd be missing. If you've got a Market icon, gapps has been flashed though.

It's always seemed to me on cm7 that after you flash gapps they are there but do not actually show in the app drawer or your home screen until you sign in to your Google account. Check /system/app folder and see if the vending apk is there. If it is then you're fine. Market should appear after you log in to Google.
