You must use 07/04 gapps proper with v2.4 as stated by jakeday and it's in the OP. I clean flashed both last night and everything EXCEPT for maps is installed. That is on purpose. You'll need to go to play store and download maps, easy enough.
Are you doing this from a clean wipe or dirty? If you're using RM (Rom manager) to do all of this (and I think you are), I strongly recommend not using it and boot into your recovery manually and do your wiping manually and then flash manually.
I did a manual dirty flash. Wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flashed 2.4. I had no contacts and no gapps after flashing 07-04-2012 proper gapps. I am downloading them again from another source. Don't see an md5 on gapps to check...so just downloading again.
