Hey,
I've switched recently from Oxygen 2.01 to CM7 RC2. I did a full wipe (factory reset/cache). Then I installed the Google Apps and had the problem that I couldn't download from the Google Market. I reflashed the Google Apps (gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip) and now I could download from market and had apps like Google Maps.
My problem now is: I can't use Google Mail. The Market says that it is already installed on my device but it's not displayed anywhere on the phone. Neither can I choose it with the ADW launcher nor can I see the app in the settings menu of Android. I already cleared my cache again and reflashed a third time the Google Apps.
Can anyone help me with this problem? Or does someone know how I get to the screen where I can choose which Apps from the Google Apps packet I'd like to install ?
reflash is your best bet
If the market is saying its installed, can you uninstall via the market. Then install it again.

Can't uninstall via Market. I will try to reflash CM7.
Ok! For installation of the CM7, I normally do is wipe, install CM7, boot for the first time, don't install gapps just yet. Enter settings and enable your wifi connection. Now boot to recovery then flash the lastest gapps zip, reboot the phone and should have the apps and screen to choose which apps to install from the market. Well! It happens for the first time you use the market app of course.
That how I do things, hope it will help your situation somehow.
Now I've got Gmail installed. But I had to download the .apk file. Couldn't install it through the market.
Thread can be closed. Thanks to everyone.
Just to let you know, the gapps zip file doesn't include any market apps. It only includes the Market (vending.apk) and the Google Account Sync setup. Everything that is Google you need to get from the market.
You could of tried to have used the web market as well to install it. But seems like you didn't fully wipe it or something messed up.
I fully wiped my device twice. Market said that it was already installed but it wasn't.
Hi ekwinoks
I had promblems with the google mail installation. I found out that the Google-Mail app is not available on the german market. So i used the Market unlocker app to download the mail app.

Hey,
I'm running the HTC sense UI, that came with my phone, which I haven't rooted.. And I would like to know if anyone could tell me how can I update programs that came preinstalled..? Because they don't show up in the market, and I would like the new updated google maps, that just came out.. in settings->about->system software update I've tried checking for updates, but still nothing..
Thanks for any help you can provide me
Yeah sometimes the market doesn't detect the apps that are already installed on my phone. I usually just click install even if it doesn't say update. Have you tried just installing the Google Maps application from the market? I believe the updated version came out yesterday.

Sometimes the market doesn't detect all of my apps as well... The fix is to clear the market cache!
clearing market cache didn't do it.. and oh well.. now i can't even find the maps on the market anymore.. so who knows what's going on ..
This happens to me too on every single ROM I've tried (stock, Cyanogen, Virtuous). There's always several apps that the market doesn't detect me as having, but the one that always seems consistent is Maps. I generally just install Maps from the market manually. This puts an extra Maps applicaton in the /data folder even though Maps already exists in the /system folder. Since I have a rooted device, I then manually delete the maps apk from the system folder.
Super simply fix. Just download aTrackdog by a0soft. It will detect every app you have installed and check to see if there are any updates. If there are you can download them either from the market or the developers website (if one exists). It will even track apps that aren't on the market, like Wireless Tether. And you don't need root for it. Should do the trick, hope it helps.
i just installed cm7 and google apps addons... i think i skipped gmail app installation when first boot(after i installed google apps addons zip through recovery)... now when i search for gmail on market.. i don't find it..
i tried website version of market.. i found gmail app.. but when i want to install.. i get "This item is not available on your carrier"........
all this is getting very annoying..... why it's that complicated to install a simple gmail app?
re-flash gapps...
Surprised, as it's a core part of the app.
reflashed 3-4 times in vain... finally got the gmail apk from some black market... normally shouldn't be doing that though :S
now i need google maps... does someone know how to reflash the gapps properly... i reflashed it multiple times.. i only have market

Where are you from? Have you tried an app called marketenabler? It allows you to download apps in market even if they aren't available in your country.

GApps problem
Hi,
I downloaded and installed AppsPackPlus(01-01-12).zip then realised there was no gmail or google play app included in the zip.
So.... I downloaded SPEC-Gapps-4.4.2-BetaV6.zip which is quite a large file, and checked that it did contain them.
However, after installing it, I still have neither app on the phone.
Can anyone explain what's going on?
I've put CWM 11 and KitKat on a Galaxy Ace phone if that is relevant.
Thanks

Still no progress.
Take care

Uninstall and Reinstall again the App.
Or he installs above.
It is possible that form it gets ready.
Take a new app in forum, in #1 page Themes and Apps, it´s call Play store (new Market)
Or, asks in Post of Rom.
Grettings.
hmm, great.. I'v uninstalled google play store. and i download google play from what you said and now i can't install google play too... as i said before, i cant ttouch the install buttom when im accepting terms.
Try this...
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications
Choose the "All" tab and look for Google Play Store or Market (whatever you have right now)
Choose "Clear Data"
Go to recovery and clear dalvik cache (optional )
Check if it works now.
Had the same problem about a week ago. Do as stankyou said, it really works. At least it worked for me!
Hello,
I just installed BCM RC2.2U4 GSM on my Desire.
PVT1 AMOLED
16gig Class 6 SD-Card, 2 gig SD-ext
no swap
Stock hboot
latest radio
I went through the Aroma Installer and chose Play Store to install. Dalvik and Apps m2sd.
Everything went fine so far, I booted, did a reboot - then stuck on boot animation.
Pulled battery - second boot worked fine. Everything looks good.
But the PlayStore wasnt installed? Tried the same process again - same.
Then pulled the APK from the gapps.zip from cyanogendmod wiki and installed it myself. Install went through, but the PlayStore keeps FCing. I did clean cache and forced to stop and tried again - same behaviour..
No I dont know what to do?!
Thanks for you help,
David
Additional Info:
Chose Nova Launcher
I came from BCM version b0.3.6_1 so first time with HWA
And I installed the update for Camera Preview fix
If your "Android Market" works, just be happy and let everything as it is. There is no "need" to upgrade to Play Store.
Hi,
well I did have the Play Store on my previous installation, too. And it did work fine!
Just tried it again. I can open the app now and browse all the apps. But when I want to update an App it FCs immediately...
Also I noticed that the Play Store seems not be a system app. It appears under "downladed" in settings->apps

Try to unistall market using root explorer or root uninstall and then extract market .apk from RC2.2U4 or older version and then install it
Unless I'm wrong, which, you know, I'm not...
I got it to work with a complete reinstall, this time choosing the "old market " option in aroma.
Still it is shown as play store?! I didn't know about the different apks so I guess I had the regular market before, but it just has a new icon and name.. I was not aware of this.
Now everything works just awesome. Love this Rom!
And thanks for your help!

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.
