I rooted my HTC Dream using Cyanogenmod's 4.29.1.
I followed the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4848777&postcount=506
After installing the latest Cyanogenmod build I don't have any of the proprietary Google apps. I thought that by installing the Android 1.6 Recovery Image first I would have the Google Apps.
Is there something I did wrong? Before I installed the recovery image I wiped data and cleared my dalvik cache. It's frustrating to have an android phone without any google apps.
Cyan's new mods no longer have the proprietary google apps. (the whole C&D issue with Google + Cyan)
You'll have to search for the zip file here. It's on the boards.
Also - if you completely wiped off your /data/*, then you lost all the apps you had installed.
If you don't have a Nandroid backup or a backup from Android, you'll have to reinstall all those again.

Yea you're right installing the ADP 1.6 image before applying the Cyanogen build is the steps you have to take to make sure you have all your proprietary google stuff
Based on the guide you followed I'm guessing you have a Roger's Dream
Try following the guide that's on Cyanogen's Wiki for Roger's there must be some difference between the two guides.
Here's the link
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_Rogers_Dream_EBI1_to_CyanogenMod
I can't follow the Cyanongen wiki now because I have changed my radio image to work with standard Cyanogen builds without requiring a custom kernal.

If that's the case
I'd say pop the ADP file & Cyanogen file back on your sd card
Reboot Into recovery
Wipe Data
Apply the ADP update, make sure you don't get any errors
Apply the Cyanogen update, make sure you don't get any errors
cross fingers
reboot
Hopefully everything will be fine this time around
I had this issue.. i was missing gmail.apk even after wiping every single thing and formatting sdcard! i flash the 1.6adp then cyanogen rom and after the reboot i go and look for gmail and could not find it anywhere.. so for the time being i switched roms..
I have no fix for this at all either... and i dont have a rogers phone either
i say good luck to you and hope you get your gapps all back
Just download WG-Build. You can flash it if you want, and your problem will be solved, but it will be WG-Build, not CyanogenMod. If you want Cyanogen's official, download WG-Build anyway, and extract all the Google applications from his .zip. Then just push them to /system/app on your phone, reboot, and there ya go. Google apps on Cyan the easy way, you don't even have to wipe or flash anything.

I am having problems with my phone, specifically the dialer and messaging working properly, and I have a feeling it is some kind of remnant from a past ROM/theme I have installed, and I want to wipe EVERYTHING, but can't seem to figure out how.
I have a G1 with RA-dream-1.3.2 and currently have CM4.2.3.1, no theme. I have used all the wipe options available in RA recovery, but CM is still on there, so I know I am not wiping EVERYTHING yet. I want to go back to where I was right after I originally rooted and start over completely.
Thanks in advance.

1.Flash 1.6 ADP-choose any zip
2.choose any zip then cyan
3.reboot
4.reboot again
This seems to have made me lose root access...?
Ok, this weird, I flashed the ADP 1.6, which I should need root access to do. But I can't flash CM, I can't use Quick Boot....
Not sure exactly what I am doing wrong, and I am not sure if I still have root or not.
Fastboot your system and recovery NANDroid's, you werent supposed to boot on the ADP ROM.
Didn't you do this when you installed cyan in the first place?
If you dont have nandroids, follow post 10 in this thread

hi,
a few days ago i uninstalled google maps on my G1 running the latest version on CyanogenMod. So i thouhgt i would reset everything by doing a wipe in the CM recovery Console (v1.4). So after doing a wipe i see that Google maps is still not there again. Im aware that i can install it again, but i would like to do a complete reset of all system files.
Could someone give me a hint on how to do this?
Thanks!
We need a little more info to be able to help.
What version of CM are you running?
Are you willing to do a complete wipe?
Were you running apps2sd?
Were you running a swap file or compcache?
Were you running a modified boot img?
Do you have a nandroid back-up?
Do you have any form of back up?
IF you don't know the answers to any of those that is fine, an "I don't know" is better than a "No", when it was really a "Yes".
All CM roms after {at least} 4.2.3.1 need the signed-dream_devphone_userdebug-ota-14721.zip (signed.zip)
{You can do a search for the link on these forums.}
The Google Maps apk comes from the signed.zip. Reflashing the CM on later versions will not get you anything from Google.
In fact you can really mess up your phone if you don't have the signed.zip .
You might wanna find it, download it, and have it on hand for when you need it.
And let us know the answers to the above questions so we can help you out.
Thanks for the reply!
I'm running CyanogenMod v4.2.8.1
Yes, i would love to do a complete wipe
I was not using swap2sd or compcache(as far as i know)
Concerning the Boot Image i have Recovery 1.4
Yes, i have Nandroid backup
Firmware-Version: 1.6
Baseband-Version: 62.50S.20.17U_2-22-19.26I
Kernel-Version: 2.6.29.6-cm42 [email protected] )
Build-Number: DRC83
I hope this info helps.
To have installed 4.2.8.1 you had to have the signed.zip file listed above.
Do not wipe ...yet
Try this...
HOME+POWER to boot to recovery
Install from zip
the signed.zip.....DO NOT REBOOT
Install from zip
cm 4.2.8.1.zip
REBOOT
The signed.zip should replace your maps program.
You might look into putting Amon Ra's recovery program on there instead of CM rec 1.4 RA's is more detailed and will allow you to wipe more data on the sdcard such as your dalvik cache and any partition data...IF you need to .
Try this simple step first and see where it gets you.
Ok, i applied the signed.zip, and after that i reapplied CyanogenMod 4.2.8.1.
Google Maps is back but some setting didnt get cleared. For example, the USB Debug mode is still on, or it continued to download some updates which i started earlier. It didnt reset everything.
Any idea why that might be?
LOL You said you wanted maps back...I got you maps back.
And now your not happy Jeez!
USB debugg is automatically turned on by the CM rom.
go to Settings>applications>Development to turn it off.
We didn't do a Fresh install we just did an re-install.
If you want to actually wipe it clean, then I highly suggest using Ra's recovery since it is a one click wipe.
Cm Recovery will wipe too.
Home+Power to cm rec 1.4
Wipe
Install from zip
signed.zip
install from zip
cm 4.2.8.1
REBOOT
And you should have a fresh install with no other data.
If you have apps already on there when you reboot, then you have apps2sd active and you need to wipe the ext partition to clear those apps.
The Amon Ra recovery will do that for you.
Well, i want to wipe since i got the feeling is a bit messed up. Just seems very slow at times and my connection drops once in a while.
So i'm going to Install Amon Ra's recovery and perform a wipe.
I didnt have app2sd active. I never did any partitioning to my sdard. Im going to Low Level format my sdcard just to make sure nothing is left on there. But as i mentioned, i did the reinstall as you said and after it booted, and i didnt the sign in stuff, setting time etc... it continued to download 2 apps which i started earlier.
I'll let you know how it went with Amon Ra's
Ok, this worked great! I installed Amon Ra's Recovery and executed ever option which had the word "wipe" in it Then applied signed.zip and after CMod. Perfect!
Thanks a lot for your help
First off: one dumb question: does different rom need an updated Google Apps package?
Here's what happened: I was running CM6.1 with iNexus theme, everything was fine. Then Cm7 RC2 came out, I thought since it's a RC it should be stable enough for everyday use. So I installed CM7 RC2 using clock work recovery. Installation went fine. booted up and running. Then i installed iNexus theme for it. iNexus theme developer clearly stated that I should use RA recovey instead of clockworkmod. so i flashed RA recovery. once again it was just fine: booted up and running. Then i noticed I had no Google Apps working, i figured I forgot to flash Gapps package. I went back to recovery and flashed the zip. I thought since both RA and clockwork are custom recoveries, they should do just about the same as each other => RA 2.2.1 was used to flash Gapps package. Here's what I think that keeps my phone from rebooting all by itself over and over: The Gapps package i used was the old one that i downloaded the same time I downloaded CM6.1. I thought that since they're all Google Apps, they're just getting installed but nothing else. Now my phone just boots up to the Welcome page where it asks if you want to learn how to use your nexus one, the phone will then reboots back into the bootanimation after like 3 seconds showing the welcome page.
I did do a backup using clockworkmod, not RA recovery so I can not restore.
Anybody ever ran into this situation before??? HELP!!!! T_T
CM7 have a different gapps package, the one for CM6 will not work.
Theres a small gapps package that will work with both cwm and amon ra. if not you'll have to make sure the gapps your flashing is compatible with the recovery you're using.
umh...since i can't boot the phone into work. so I'm gonna download another Gapps and put it on my sd card then I'll flash it...maybe that'll work? hopefully!
Can you still boot into recovery?
I would do this
put the following files on your sd card
1-temasek extreme wipe file
2-cm7 ROM your choice of RC2 or nightlies
3-CM7 Gapps
Than flash them in that order
i'll be right back with some links
Get gapps here for CM7 http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15767-cyanogenmod-7-for-nexus-one-v700-rc2-3072011/
Actually there's a new GB Gapps package, let me find that link
Get temasek's extreme wipe here http://www.mediafire.com/?bxfijcp6f6bf1me
Flashing the Extreme wipe will lessen the headache of "little" things that could go wrong.
Also recommend you sticking with Amon Ra, too much problems with CWM lately
uh.... some of the apps don't work??? is it supposed to be like that? Neither Market or Youtube or GTalk work ^^!
No problems here, all apps working for me. You flashed the right gapps?
I deleted my Rom Manager in an attempt to refresh and install the pro version. I did this by using the force uninstall from TB, which actually did not remove it, but then I did remove it normaly via the TB remove app feature (not force uninstal). Now when I try install the rom, it will not load. I do not get any errors when I try to install it. It is just is not there / cant be seen by any app or in a directory. Any suggestions on how to fix this??? Are there any alternative apps???
Just fyi - I am also unable to install the latest CM7 version. It gets to the CM7 boot screen, but hangs on it ofr more than an hour with no progress. Just fro clarification, I have since reloaded the latest CM6 version, to see if Rom Manager would install, but it still wouldn't.
Current phone is a Sprint Hero, running the latest CM6 Version.
when you reloaded CM6, did you restore a backup or did you wipe everything and reload a fresh image?
I had a problem using ROM Mgr when I tried to flash the recovery. Ended up it wouldn't boot into recovery and after that it wouldn't flash the recovery anymore. I was able to flash the alternate ra recovery, wipe factory data/cache & davlik cache, reload clean CM6.1 with latest gapps. Still the ROM Mgr was goofy. I used the fix permissions tool in ROM Mgr and it finally allowed me to flash the CWM recovery (2.5.0.7) successfully and reboot into recovery mode. Maybe the fix permissions or making sure everything (besides your SD card) is wiped would help? Or, try using the ra recovery to load your CM7 image (not sure if that is supported).

You need to do a full wipe of absolutely everything and then update your recovery image. Do a fresh download(try from a mirror) of the latest CM7 version. Make sure that everything is fully wiped and you wipe your system, cache, data and davlik-cache. Do the wipe TWICE.
Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first and then boot up and see if it goes through.
Thanks for the info, Waffle_.. So to just clarify... I need to:
1. wipe everything twice
2. get a fresh download of cm7
3. then install cm7
What do you mean by "Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first" -- Like make sure it boots up before installing anything else????
Thanks!

Yes.
Meaning, when you flash the rom, don't flash gapps or anything else. Flash the rom only, then reboot and make sure it runs. And then you can go back and flash gapps, etc.
My current ROM is jaybob's CM6.2 w/ firerat and using Darchstar's RA recovery 1.7. heroc is s-on.
Removed firerats and tried flashing TeamHeroC-2.3.7-22OCT.zip plus several gapps but cannot get Market to show up in the app drawer. Car home, talk and books sometimes show up. They all flash ok but market does not show up in the app drawer. I've tried to the following gapps each time wiping cache, dalvik+factory reset:
From CM7
gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110325-signed.zip
gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip
From OMFGB thread
lithid-gapps-0504-signed.zip
GAPPS.zip
From Hero deck thread
gapps-hero-20110522.zip
I would post in the android dev section but cannot since my post count is < 10. I've gotten by in the past by searching and reading threads but this issue I can't resolve. Any help is much appreciated!
Hi
U may have to either update ur recovery or try ROM manager recovery, then factory reset, wipe all, then under under recovery format everything except the SD card stuff under mounts abd storage...then
reflash ROM by itself. While there sync ur account, then flash the gapps. The hero deck gapps with voicemail worked for me.
I hope it works.

Agreed, it sounds like a recovery issue. I'd flash a CWM recovery and see if that fixes things.

In order to get rid of Firerat's you have to either flash a new recovery and then format/wipe boot, system, data, and cache (you can use Rom Manager or just find one to flash from recovery) or you need to use the Firerat's removal tool and then do all of the format/wiping in order to really get rid of firerat's. Any of those gapps should work though as I believe they are all universal GB gapps. I use Jaybob's with some 6/13 gapps.
thanks guys! resolved it by flashing cwm2.5.0.7 and wiping everything.
