Is anyone else having problems installing Google SkyMap after upgrading to CyanogenMod 6? Is this a Froyo thing in general, or just a problem with CM6? Or is it just me? Any ideas on how to resolve this would be much appreciated.

Im actually having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Same thing here, I have not been able to get it installed using Eugene's kanged Froyo and now same issue with Cyanogen 6.0.0.0
Had this issue on my gf's droid incredible, it was the test 8 version of cm6, I wiped and put it to RC3 and skymaps installed just fine.
CM6 kills my phone so I'm still on 5.0.8
The latest CM6 on G1/Dream, can't install Google Sky Map. The rest of apps were installed fine.
BTW, initially I couldn't install anything until I wiped my phone (upgraded from CM6-RC).

same here......im thinking its a froyo problem........
I had no problem installing it, though I may have done it while running RC3.
I have Chromatic 4.5 which is based of CM6 stable and Google SkyMap installed and runs OK.
So I don't think it's a froyo problem.
I've had a few apps not install on CM6 Sky Maps being one of them. The fix i found that worked for me was:
1:set preferences to install to internal memory
2:unmount the SD card
3:install the apps
4:remount SD
5:move apps from internal to SD.
Like I said it worked for me, your milage my vary.

Tried this and I could indeed install it, Only I wasnt able to move it to my SD-card. I take it you moved it via settings>applications>Google Sky Maps>move to sd-card

Howdy folks,
First of all, thanks to Cyanogen for 5.0.7!
After running out of patience on the the hope that TMo would come out with a new phone to compete with the Droid, Incredible, Evo, etc, I decided to root my G1. I wanted 2.1 and A2SD because I would love to buy more apps from the Market, but my G1 just didn't have the damn space... until now.
So I rooted my G1 using the Amon Ra recovery and CM 5.0.7.
After I rooted, I installed the latest radio (2.22.32.02), flashed Danger SPL, rebooted, flashed CM 5.0.7 and flashed GApps. I didn't do any wipes since I had never rooted my phone.
When the phone booted, the apps did not show up. So I went back to to recovery, did a wipe and flashed GApps first, then flashed CM 5.0.7 and rebooted. Everything works great. Runs fast.
I took the advice of a friend and installed SetCPU (paid for it) and Auto Memory Manager. I've noticed that my battery doesn't charge as quickly and that there is some noticeable lag on the phone. I had my phone plugged in all night last night and the phone wasn't fully charged. I finally uninstalled SetCPU and the phone is charging properly again. Also, the phone is snappier.
My questions:
1) Did I do something wrong by flashing GApps before the CM Rom? Do I need to do it over again even though my phone is working properly?
2) Now that my phone is working properly, do I need to create a backup/recovery?
3) After having successfully flashed CM 5.0.7, do I need to Wipe anything (ie ext 2, ext 3)? During the root process, I created a 96mb and 512mb partitions. From my understanding, the CM Rom occupies the 96mb ext and the 512mb ext is for A2SD. Why does the phone only show 457mb of space? I thought it should be 512mb.
4) I backed up all the data on my SD card onto my PC before formatting it during the root process. How do I restore all my apps and such so that everything works like it did before rooting?
Thanks for any help. Will be donating to Cyanogen

1.Your fine, as long as you flashed them and they show up your good.
2. If you want, and it definitely can't hurt. It doesn't look like you will be doing too many crazy hacks to it since your still a beginner. It's also better to make a stable rom be your backup instead of experimental one.
3. No idea, try a repartition if you get any problems, but don't mess with it if it ain't brocken lol.
4. How did you backup your data? Did you use a backup app from the market? If so, download the app you used and put all the files from your pc back onto your memory card. Then, hit the "restore" option.
Welcome to XDA! Here is a mod for a black notification bar by cloverdale that I prefer to the plain white one. Flash from recovery if you like.
Thanks for the reply.
#3. I didn't use a backup app. I just copied everything onto my hdd. Am I SOL since I didn't use a backup app and just have to reinstall everything manually?
So your phone stores its apps on INTERNAL, and you copied files from your SD(EXTERNAL) stop and think for a minute if your apps are on A and you copied B, your apps are gone.

I messed up. What I wanted to say is that some of the apps that I had installed on my phone also had data/database files associated to it that it saved on the SD card (ie Aldiko, OI Notes, etc) Is there a way to re-associate those once I reinstall those programs? I re-installed Aldiko and it would not read the library db file so I had to re-download the books. I should have used a backup app. Well, live and learn. I'm going to re-install OI Notes and OI Shopping and transfer those files over to see.
Update: Well, looks like it didn't work. OI Notes and OI Shopping doesn't read the files I had created before rooting. Should have use a backup program.
Which is better: Titanium or Mybackup Pro?
I've never had a problem with my Nexus one with any of the cyanogen roms, but when I updated to RC2, now my phone won't install apps. It'll download fine, but will freeze at the "installing" part. I've wiped and reverted to my nandroid backup, but now it won't install any apps from the market. I've searched the forum and I've tried, wiping everything and flashed RC1 and RC2, still no luck. Is anybody else having this problem and is there a fix? Please advise, thanks.
This happens to me about 50% of the time when changing ROMS. Try going to settings>applications>market> Force stop, then CLEAR DATA & CLEAR CACHE. Then next time you open the market you will get the terms of service again and you should be able to download and install. Hope that works for you.
(It could be related to the phone having too many processes to do immediately after flashing as well, so give it a few minutes to catch up as well.)
I tried that method and it didn't work for me, however I did find a similar post and they mentioned to delete the folders .android_secure , Android, download, LOST.DIR on the SD card. That actually fixed the problem, hope this helps other people.
I found today I couldn't install apps, got a "Not enough space" dialog... My SD card was 100% full, must download to the SD card temporarily. Whoops.
im using cyanogen mod 6.0 works fine but i notice a major problem!!!
i notice some apps started to disappear??? i had angry bird the game yesterday today it wasnt on my phone like somoene deleted but no one did im the only user...now the flash player also i had it now i have to redownload it please can someone help is anyone out there having this problem???
You moved those apps to SD and they're not designed to be moved, by any chance?

you know that might be true i did do some move to sd card before i wipe and rebooted into the new rom... thanks
o by the way how much room does the nexus one suppose to have to store apps??
I think it depends on its capacity.
The internal flash memory is 512MB. You can expand the SD card to 32GB.
Nexus has ~190 MB for applications, their data and Dalvik-cache.
The best way to avoid that limit is to use Apps2SD+ (DarkTremor's, for example), or use a custom ROM that has it already implemented. Froyo Apps2SD doesn't help too much, and there are several problems with it when using custom launchers (ADW/LauncherPro), one of which you most likely saw.
I've had some trouble with CM 6.1 because I haven't been able to install certain kind of apps; first the restore failed with Titanium Backup, so I tried on the market, but that was unsuccessful too.
What seemed to solve the problem in 6.1 was telling in CM settings to install directly on the phone (CM Settings->Application Settings -> Install location-->Internal).
Now that I've got 6.1.1 the problem is back, and the previouse fix does not work. I can't seem to get back on the phone apps like StumbleUpon and SDMove.
I don't know what the problem is since everything worked in 6.0.
Anyone has any clues?
Thanks in advance
Do you have DarkTremor's apps2SD installed? If not, what always worked for me was to unmount the SD, install the app, remount the SD and then use froyo apps2SD to move it.
I am having the same problem but have DarkTremor's apps2SD and can't unmount the SD so I don't know what to do now.

Unmounting worked!
Well, thanks a lot.
But still, this is really annoying. I mean, I should be able to install without the need to unmount/remount every time!
Yeah it's really annoying now that unmounting isn't a possibility but no one seems to have an answer why this happens in either case.
I suspect it has something to do with the way the app wants to install. One developer I talked to mentioned that apps that want to install directly to SD have this issue and this is why unmounting works, it forces the app to install to internal memory. With DarkTremors though this is no longer possible so I don't know what to do.
Hi all
I have an issue with Cyanogenmod ROM here.
I runned on my Nexus One the 7.1 version with S2E script without problem for six months, then suddenly my 16gB SD Card reported a read/write problem and I have to reinstall everything.
Changing my sd card with a new sandisk 32gb, I decided to install the newer Cyanogenmod 7.2 official version (not nightly) but since then I have a serious issue.
Obviously, just to confirm, I wipe everything before installing pure cyanogen zip file. Then, I begin to install application but as you know internal memory is soon filled.
Then i backup, format SD card, partition it 1GB ext4 / 31GB fat, reinstall the backup, and install S2E.
The problem is that everything run smooth for almost 1 day - where i can install new apps and move to sd etc - but after some hours of use, if you try to install or update application all of a sudden market begins to report error message like:
error 492
file package not valid or signed
or, during installation, the phone has an half reboot.
Obviously i tried to wipe and reinstall everything many times but problem persists.
Also, when it happens, after some more time some applications began to work wrong, especially widget like simple calendar widget or beautiful widget.
I googled to search for a problem of this type, the only solution i found is to install latest version of the market as apk, which I do, but it doesn't work.
Any help?
Should I try another App2SD script different from S2E?
after s2E installation, do I have to launch something from terminal (which I don't do until now)?
thanks
I experienced similar.
I now use mounts2sd from DK Zero Cool. Fantastic script. What I do is to choose 'move data', and choose 'reverse mount'. With just those settings I have no issues. (You run the script from recovery and you're given the options in Aroma installer)

Issue solved
Hi all
Just to make you aware that I solved the issue reinstalling everything using a recovery older than Clockworkmod 5.2, in particular the Amon_RA 2.1, leaving the phone to work with this recovery I wipe everything and reinstall Cyanogenmod 7.2 and S2E and everything is working fine now.
Hope it helps
Thanks
Hello. Thank you it worked for me.
