NOTE: On this release and forward the "Gapps" (Google Apps) must be separately downloaded and flashed after you load the ROM (before booting the first time is recommended):

http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip - Base Google Apps
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip - Google Talk (if you want it)" ...if you want voice recognition download and install this from recovery...install the first one above first or you don't have google marketplace...

Hi: You really would do well to read all of page one of this thread. You did not flash google apps (gapps) after you installed the rom or you didn't sign in to your g mail acc't or didn't create one. Quoted from tickerguy on page one of this thread...

I did flash the gapps. I am signed into the gmail app, I had to manually download it. I only flashed the base gapps file.

The other normal google apps are working for you?

Well. That's what I meant to ask you last night after the flash, I had the market, BUT had to install gmail, and there are no Google apps in my phone, I just figured it was to clean it up and they will work if I want to install and use them, should they be there? I flashed the gapps twice I'm pretty sure, they flashed so fast, I read to do it again if it worked so quick before the boot.

*quick question, I don't have the VM apps, activate, my account ect... I don't need them, but will this effect when I top up? I've read or seen no questions on this so I assume it's fine*

Nope. As long as you are activated, you don't need any of the VM bloatware. You are good to go my friend. :D

I am guessing you had something go wrong with gapps. Try to redownload it and reflash them.

You wont have a problem with topping up.

They aren't bootlooping. Try downloading again, then flash gapps, and reboot, and hopefully it was just a bad flash.

I know, but you don't want to bootloop. I have had issues if I don't wipe the davilk cache, it is just one of those thing you do when you apply something new to the phone. You don't have too, but I would do it anyway.

I agree though, hopefully it was just a bad flash.
 
OK I redownloaded, deleted the old gapps zip I had, went into CMR and then tried to find the zip, I can't, in android, data, there is a .Nomedia and In file manager that .nomedia shows up as the android market icon,is this what I'm flashing?

OK I found the zip, it worked said successful, reboot, and I have no apps besides the market

Try downloading Titanium backup and after you redownload and reinstall your apps make a backup with Titanium. If you then have this problem in the future you can just download Titanium backup from the market and it will find all your saved apps backed up from Titanium backup and you can do a batch install of all your missing apps....But remember, when reinstalling apps from TB, only install the apps and not the data or data and apps when prompted.

That is exactly how it should be. I hope it works for ya. If not, then we need to go back... WAY back to square one.

I still can't purchase from the market...this is pretty lame, I feel dumb, you guys are so helpful but it's just evil to me, the 2 folders with Google.apps are labeled as follows. Maybe this will help. Com.Google.android.apps.geniewidget. content-cache.

Com.Google.android.apps.Maps

Try downloading the new market apk, and installing it.

I'll try that, if it doesn't work after what I just did....I went to the site, and tried to buy an app, then it said error, and sent me to the google wallet terms and agreement. Never seen this before, so I accepted and haven't tried, could that have been it?

swype wont work

I think go keyboard is a very awesome solution to this if it doesn't work. The keyboard is built with the feature to edit keysize, font,themes, and it swypes, the swype line you draw is also changed with the rom, so it can be cyan, and green with cm7 with the 3 themes it came with in theme chooser

Does the gapps base zip come with gmail? I have gtalk, Google search, voice command, a few other apps but not gmail, I found I had these apps hidden in my app drawer...
 
Could this rom be killing my phones? Now I'm not some uninformed consumer complaining about the free service that has been given to me by the fine people working hard to provide a working service on a phone who's service has otherwise flopped but I have had three triumphs and all of them died of the same cause: I held down the power menu, booted the device off, and it then refused to boot up ever again.

Im not new to rooting android devices. I had a g1 and the process of running new roms on the thing was a bit more complicated than this device. You had to jump through hoops to run an exploit that rooted the thing, and you then had to install new radios in order to allow modern roms to run. It was a pain in the ass, but the device was a tank. Despite physical abuse, overclocking, and running tons of different roms of different stages of completion the thing never failed to run like clockwork for me.

Then after about a year of struggling with the pitiful hardware I switched to this phone with it's nice looking specs and it's attractive plan I couldn't go wrong with it. Well about 2 months after installing a rom for this thing my phone decided to just die. I held down the power button, hit reboot, and the phone refused to turn on. I figured this was faulty hardware, called virgin, and got a new phone mailed to me. The very next day I noticed my cell phone reception for my home was oddly weak so I decided to reboot to see if that would improve things, well that phone had the same problem. Booted off, and it refused to turn on in spite of batteries or charging or etc. So I figure " gee I must be really unlucky!" and then I have another phone shipped to me.

This phone takes a little longer to get to me thanks to the holiday season but I get it today, and it seems to run fine. So I root it, install clockwork recovery manager, flash this rom and it's gapps, and install various apps I like. Well I see an attractive kernel on this site that would allow me to run a swap partition and increase this phone's multitasking capability(I know it degrades sd cards and all that but after you drop $300 big ones on a phone who cares if you might lose $25 for a year of multitasking goodness when you need it?) . So I move the kernel zip onto my freshly booted phone and it's sd card and I hit shutdown(paranoid that something about hitting "reboot" might have been what killed the other two despite such a belief seeming a bit techno-superstitious) and it shuts down. When I go to hit the power button again I find that my phone is once again unable to power on. Removing the battery and waiting a bit does not help.

So longwinided rant cut short(or tl;dr if you prefer) I must ask if there is the remote possibility that this could be something wrong with the rom? After a third phone(which I rebooted multiple times on stock without issues at all) I have to wonder if perhaps there might be something that is killing phones out there. Maybe it's something hardwired into my two refurbished devices to punish rooting(though it seems counter productive since I wind up just sending them back for another one) or maybe after hitting the jackpot with my unkillable(albeit severely underpowered) g1 I managed to get very unlucky and gotten three devices that died the same way, I'm not sure what the issue is and I hardly have the education to figure it out myself, but I'd just like to bring to light the remote possibility that the one thing my three triumphs had in common(being rooted and running this rom) may have something to do with this because if there is something causing this on the software side I would hope that it gets taken care of before it winds up happening to anyone else.
