First of all, hi. I'm new and I have a LG GT540. Which I have updated from 1.6 to 2.1.

I think it would probably be best to put this in steps:
1. Updated from 1.6 to 2.1 (O2/Britain if it matters)
2. Rooted the device using superuser Z4 root.
3. Deleted a few default apps with the help of root explorer. These included Gmail and Talk
4. Now I have relised that they are both necessary to download from the market
5.I have installed APK files of gmail, Gmail Provider and Talk.
6. When I try to run them the following appears:

Google Mail: "The process com.google.process.gapps has stopped unexpectedly" and obviously the only option is to force close.
Google Talk: The application Google Talk (process com.google.android.talk) has stopped. Please try again" no matter how often I try the same message appears.
7.The device is not rooted at the moment

I cannot download from the market due to these google apps not running. Recently I have also found out that I cannot recieve SMS messages, which are pretty essential, but I can send SMS messages.

I can connect to the internet through my phones browser (Opera, as I have got rid of the default)

Any help to get the market and text applications functional would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
 
I think your best be would be to flash it back to stock and start over. It would probably be easier then to get gmail and talk re-hooked back into your system, if it's even possible.

That sounds good, is it like "reinstalling" the 2.1 OS?

Sorry to sound noobish but how would I go about doing that?

Dosn't that just factory reset the phone?

I've done that before and nothing really happened apart from having to install a file viewer from my computer.

My bad. You are right, that just resets the data, not the OS. Did a little searching and didn't find much. I couldn't get to the manual because LG want's to know your imei or serial number to download documentation. :rolleyes:

Might be in there.

Thanks lunatic59, You've certainly pointed me in the right direction.
Hope my future android-related problems are solved as simply :) Cheers
