OK this maybe a stupid question so I apologise in advance
But I have just installed my first custom ROM on my old Milestone
Followed all the instructions on the thread here
It all worked fine but no google apps ie. gmail and can't add google account
Is that normal?
Cheers
Guy
ps. thanks to all that are involved in doing instructions, creating these ROMs and other cool stuff that they don't get paid for
Google apps
Hello, u must install the google apps after u install the custom rom, just like u did with the rom, u take the googe apps and put them in Open recovery/updates.
The link from u get the google apps is :http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps
Go and download the gapps for your rom.
If u have CM6, the gapps are 20101114.
Brilliant...
Knew it was gonna be something simple
Thank you so much
Guy
Sorry quick question...
That version of gapps has old market
Will I have to update manually to latest version og gapps or will it now update automatically?
Is there a good forum post that covers these sorts of questions?
I haven't found one yet...

Yes, you can - not automatically though. Same procedure as the google apps. You can get the latest market from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918005
may I ask 2 extremely newbie questions myself ?
after installing CM6 in my Milestone, can I restore system settings and data from nandroid or Titanium backup.
thanks in advance
I'm pretty sure you can't do that...

You were right, but I was able to restore my apps and data with Titanium.

Yes, the new 2.2.6 market with the carousel jog wheel on top... it's very xbox360ish ... which doesn't appeal to me all that much, but it's still a nice change I think, and works well, little laggy here and there.
Blue theme for market

Im just getting into this stuff, and have a question. Currently I am running the Kaos Froyo V38 with the CFSv6 battery fix. Is this GAPP a rom all itself, or an add to your base rom? I like the red glass theme you have.

Hey, thanks! The gapps package is not a rom, it's got the google apps inside... the bigger "full" package has The new market, gmail, facebook, youtube, twitter, maps, voicesearch and all that. The smaller "tiny" just has the new market and some google files.
Hope that helps Just hit the thanks button if it does, enjoy!

GApps is Google Apps. The full (large) version has the Android Market, GMail app, Maps, etc, etc. Not sure what all is missing out of the tiny version.
ROMs that don't include Google Apps like CELBFroyo need to have Google Apps flashed after the ROM is flashed. For other ROMs it just updates all the Google Apps en mass. It's possible that you already have all the updated apps if you update them either manually or automatically through the Market.
Edit: Sorry, shed, I didn't see there was a second page with your lonely post. I guess it needed company. LOL.

Nothing as in you don't have any Google Apps at all, or you just don't have any newer Google Apps than you already did? KaosFroyo already comes with Google Apps, if I remember correctly, and if you kept them updated anyway then flashing the new Google Apps wouldn't do anything other than possibly give you the new Market, which you could've gotten in an update, also. I don't know offhand which apps the tiny one has or what you were hoping to gain by flashing the new tiny one.
Well not only did I not get the new market which wasn't updated but I lost my download list which would make updating a pain I assume. Dunno why.

Flashing a whole GApps package just to get the new Market was kindof overkill. I have no idea what or if flashing a GApps package on top of an already existing GApps installation overwrites besides the apps themselves.
If you have a nandroid backup, I'd restore it and find one of the links through here to download just the Market itself. I've also heard that people got the Market update by running the Eris Market Fix and then the update was available. Haven't tried it myself.

Just use proper ROM. In my testing only Dark Knight didn't like Market, plus it had other issues like nonworking Calendar. Try my ROM, M4 or Doc's V6.

And on a side note - I got my hands on hacked Market Vending.apk 3.5.19 with disabled compatibility and disabled Market self-updates. It is included in my latest ROM. did I say that it's waterproof too?
hi, i searched on forum but i haven't found a similar thread..
i can't download any apps from the market, either free or paid
the only way i found to download apps is to unistall latest build and restore old market, but then it upgrades itself to the latest build obviusly and the issue comes again. i tried also to clear data and cache but nothing..
i don't know what to do..anybody had same problem and fixed it?
thanks!

Now that i can see that you have downloaded the ROM. and place it in your SD card
Download Google Apps and place it in your SD card
take necessary backup of your apps from the previous ROM. _- if necessary
Do a clean wipe and flash Lacoste ROM and then flash google apps in recovery and restart your phone. Thats it.
wait till your new ROM boots.. and then enjoy. You should have google apps installed.
follow the below only if necessary -
The first boot might have some display issues which wouldnt show anything.. so just pull your battery out and restart your phone again..

There is a preinstalled app called S2W or something like that. Just turn it off from there.
As previously mentioned I have copied this thread to Android software development, so more people can learn about it. I have also moved my files and will now be uploading to Android File Host without mirrors, since they is a waste of time, AFH works great.
You can find the new thread here and subscribe to it:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/gapps-opengapps-oreo-unofficial-t3681960
I will not be updating this thread anymore so you won't miss anything. Please also post comments there since I won't be active here that much.
Another new thing is that I will be updating packages every two days, since firstly I don't have that much time available, but mostly because the apps itself don't get updated every day which means you are basically flashing the same apps twice.
That's about it, hope you join us on the other thread

Yup, I know, I use to use other people's versions. But they weren't updated frequently enough. Hopefully they will see my work and start updating theirs too so people can get more out of oreo.

Hey, thanks for your work.
I was wondering, tho, that if I have a previous version of GApps installed (Which I installed while installing the ROM), what is the use of these updates GApps? I can always update my apps through play store?

Yes, that's the best option. But let's say you have installed the pico package and now you want gmail as a system app. You can now dirty flash the micro package which will remove and replace all the installed apps and also install gmail and other apps from the micro package as system apps.

No difference other than that, right?

No, they're pretty much always the same, probably hidden somewhere in the pico package so if there was an update it would be installed anyway. The only other apps not available in the playstore would be Google Camera, Pixel Launcher and Pixel Icons (maybe others too).

I'd say wait a couple of minutes and if that doesn't work reboot into recovery, not system and reflash.

This happens on some roms, it's probably not the gapps's fault. After flashing remove the sim tray. Finish the setup and insert it again. DON'T insert it when it asks you to or it will force close again.
Since you've already flashed just remove the sim tray and reboot again.
Thank u
