Hello I was wondering if someone can help me. I download Cyanogenmod 6.1.2 which was a good mod for my first. I thought I was doing everything correctly, rooted my phone for the first time. I was following steps on how to access the ROM I recently downloaded, but unfortunately upon installing the rom I wiped my cache and data without backing up my Nandroid. Now everything is gone, I lost my contacts, all my data and on top of that I dont have GMAIL to restore my contacts nor do I have the MARKET.
If someone could help me I would appreciate it, or even provide me with a link in which I can restore my phone back to a default setting so I can start over. I tried looking through the forums, and I couldn't find anything. I don't know if I'm looking in the wrong places, or subforums.
Thank you.
I don't have your answer, not a droid user, but I can tell you that it's probably a very easy fix. Don't sweat it. Your contacts and gmail aren't stored on your phone.

Well I found out that my contacts were saved VIA gmail, so I found most of my contacts. For the most part I'm worried if I damage my phone in any way, by that I mean losing the Market application in which I can't find when I google market.apk

Did you flash the GoogleApps? With CMx you need to flash it after you flash CM. Google apps include account settup, googla apps downloader, market, etc
When you set you account up you will see your contacts again
The phone is not damaged at all! Stay chill )... As eXtink said, you just need to download Google Apps, put the .zip file in the update folder and run it from Androidiani, just as you did with the ROM. Here's the link (choose the one for HDPI devices). Have a nice day!
I rooted my droid 3 but for some reason my contacts app keeps force closing! Is there anyway to root the phone and restore it back to factory setting then try rooting it again? How would I restore back to factory default?
There is no ability to restore, reset or do-over with the Droid 3 until a .sbf is released (leaked).
did you delete anything after rooting your Droid 3?
yep...but i tried to play it relatively safe removing bloatware, but apparently I must have deleted something that was critical to contacts. How long do you think we will be waiting until an sbf is out?
Sounds like you deleted the yahoo stuff. Find the system.img file that was uploaded here weeks ago, pull out the two yahoo .apk and .odex files and push them back to /system/app/
That will fix your contacts.
There is no ETA or guess on the .sbf. It will require a leak from within Motorola.

In titanium backup, it lists Yahoo Contacts 2.3.4 and Yahoo Mail Authenticator 2.3.4.....so I didnt delete those. Not sure if there was other yahoo stuff that got deleted?

Nope, those are it.....those have been causing Force Close on contacts for all that deleted or "froze" them. If you still have those then apparently there is another app that you did remove that ties in to Contacts.
You must have deleted Corporate Sync Authenticator, if I freeze that one I get your error as well
guys, i am using super ics in my i9023. but Cant install Google Map 6.0 in ICS. i have wiped data and uninstalled maps with titanium backup and then tried to install maps 6.0 but it says install failed. tried many times but same result. any idea what happened? cheers
This is the latest gapps.zip (I think) with latest maps and music, but doesn't have wallet.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47770734/gapps.zip
I use koush's gapps @ http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip (includes google wallet)
1. Use Titanium backup and convert google maps to a user app (long press maps)
2. market doctor -> deselect all -> find google maps -> doctor that
3. uninstall google maps
4. download google maps
.... and it'll work.
Can't find market doctor on the market
When I try to update I just get an error
Edit I see its an option in titanium but I'm scared to delete because I'm thinking that error will pop back up has anyone done this with success
BEST DAMN PHONE BECAUSE WE HAVE THE BEST DAMN DEVELOPERS!

same here, exact issue
no good maps/gps and can't uninstall and reinstall(DL) from market
maybe a cache issue?
Use the following commands with adb installed...
adb remount
adb shell
su
rm /system/app/Maps.apk
pm uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps
reboot
The issue, I think, lies with ICS
No other roms have this issue for me
I changed to pico from google tts--no issues

in most ROMs the lib files needed for google tts are missing. Just add them and google tts will work.
tried it--didn't work

Anyone ever figure this out? I tried this method, but Maps doesnt show up in Market Doctor when you run it.
UPDATE: nevmind. I think you need to select "Detach from Market" as well, for it to show up in Market Doctor.
ALSO, this doesnt work either. I followed the instructions and it just reverts to the factory 5.11 maps, and then gives error when you update.
I followed the steps and got Maps 6.0.
But I didn't liked it much, force closes like mad, reverted back to 5.0.1 now
I know you guys are working on it, but I was just wondering if anyone has been able to replace the Search button with Google search after the ZV8 update. I've tried the renaming the apk files in /system/app, but that doesn't seem to work at a ll...
Also, after attempting the rename trick, I uninstalled Google Search. Now the market thinks I have it installed, but it's not on the phone... I can't get it back, either. I was thinking that perhaps if I had the .apk, it may work. Anyone know how I can get the Google search .apk since the market won't let me download it?
DeBing will require a custom ROM, which I'm sure MT is working on...

If the market thinks it's installed, there should be an uninstall icon in the market, can you click uninstall and then install it again?
Or go to the market on a computer and click install from there, it should send it to your phone.

Alas no
To remove Bing (and other Crap-ware installed by Verizon) you will need to have root access (The un-installer is unable to un-install items in the System directory)
Hope this helps

Sorry I wasn't very clear... Accessing the market from a computer shows that Google Search is installed. There are no traces of it on the phone either in the Play store app or in the applications list.

I have root on mine... I just don't know how to replace the Bing Search with Google Search. I'm a little worried uninstalling Bing will break the search altogether...

Just go to the Market and download Google Search. The only thing is the search softkey button and searching from the browser address bar will still be Bing. For me, when I hit the search softkey nothing happens at all right now because I deleted Bing from System/Apps, lol
I did that and unfortunately and tried renaming the google quick search to BingSearch.apk in the /system/app as suggested for V7 in a lot of online posts. When that didn't work, I uninstalled it from my phone, but now the online Play store thinks it's still installed and I get: "Error: Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes" when I try to reinstall."
Interesting. I have a rooted V8. I used "SystemApp Remover" (from the market) to remove Bing and the Bing widget. When I hit the search button, Google Search comes up.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but prior to Verizon pushing out V8, I was running GingerVolt 1.3 and followed the process to get a rooted V8 (load the stock V7, root, prep, OTA update to V8, root maintained). Perhaps something in GV1.3 wasn't blown away by V7-V8. After all, it seems to have left all my data and account information intact.
Well, I completely wiped all the data, reinstalled V7 from the .tot, rooted, upgraded and rooted and was able to get Google Search installed... I'm trying to go from there. Thanks!
Yeah, must have been a holdover... Removing bing caused my search bar to force close the LG home.
So I flashed my G7 Plus with the latest Lineage, 17.1 I think with no GAPPS. Great ! The only thing I don't have is speech to text so to get this I have to install the Google App. Tried a few of the latest version which I downloaded from apkpure.com becaue not a fan of the playstore. I keep getting an error saying "Google keeps stopping". and it does ! I've cleared caches and all that, but it just seems I'm probably missing some other required package or that it wants some permissions I haven't granted but I have granted all the network perms temporarily as well as mic and storage access. Still get the error. Has anyone else come acrsoss this and know how to solve it ? Or maybe you have to log in to a google account at least once before it will work ?
I'm no expert but could it be that you need google play services to run an app like that?
If that's the case, I guess I'll do without voice to txt. The whole idea here is to keep google spying off my phone.
Use a rom that has google installed and do a back up of the google apps u want to bring to los17 with an app called migrate.... After u install the los17 flash the migrate back up...it will delete the GSF file from the google apps so they can run without google play services

You need the Google play services. And if you want it to work, flash gapps
