[Q] No Google Account option on Pure Google Mod - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I've just flash the Pure Google Mod ROM to my nexus one but I found that the Google Apps are missing and when I press "add account" in "Account & Sync", it gives a Exchange account but rather a list of choosing. Any ideas?
Using ClockworkMod Recovery, for your information

U also have to flash google apps after flashing a custom aosp rom.
u can download gapps here > http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version#Google_Apps under CM7 is the one u can use for gingerbread it also works on other roms withouth google apps.
i advise to wipe the rom, maybe reflash it after that flash the GAPPS. so first rom than google apps. hope this will help good luck

probably easy question

I need to get my modded cyanogen 1.6 back to reset.
By reset i mean how it comes after you get it modded with cyanogen. With cyanogen on it, but just the apps.
How would this be done?
( this is because i need to input a new google account.. i tried doing the clear deffault google apps and enter new google account, but this app still reads old account)

Synch App Market

Hi,
Always after flashing a new custom rom the market downloading all my old apps
it's boring
I test a lot of apps and I don't want them back when I flash a new custom rom
Can somebody help me ?
Before you flash a new ROM uncheck the "back up my settings" options under privacy in the settings, or sign in using a different account. The apps are linked to you account, so every time you sign in, you will get all your apps again when using the back up settings and your account.
i've tried to uncheck the "back up my settings" but it's not working and i can't use another account because my contacts are linked with me google account
1. Reset the phone to factory settings.
2. Don't enter your Google credentials in the Setup Wizard.
3. Complete the wizards.
4. Go to Accounts in Settings.
5. Add your Google account.
This should prevent the re-installation.
I use a similar method, don't use the setup wizard and when in the OS start gmail and enter your details.

[Q] Google Apps

Hi,
I am running the leaked 606 froyo stock ROM but I wanted the stock google email app so I wrongly decided to flash the google apps package from http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/ . However now I can't open any of the google apps and the email app is missing anyway. Could you please tell me which package either from that webpage or any other I could use to make it work again? Possibly as a flashable zip as my command knowledge is dismal. Thanks
I believe that the google apps package you installed is compiled/optimized for gingerbread so that might be why you don't get it to work. Try reflashing the rom over and all should be reset, if not you might need a data wipe before. Then you should be able to find the stock Gmail app in the market and you can uninstall/freeze the LG one.

Trying to better understand the Backup and Restore feature

I just got my phone back from Motorola for warranty work. When I first got it I knew that I was going to be rooting it and loading a custom ROM but I decided to just install my sim and use it just to make calls for the time being. When I went through the initial setup and asked me if I want to restore my backup from previous backups. To my surprise I had a whole list of backups from when I first got my old phone a OnePlus and I was able to choose which apps I wanted to install. Well today I loaded Benzo ROM but after the initial setup it never asked me to restore a backup. Is there still a way I can restore one of my old backups or is this not a feature with Benzo ROM?
Am I missing something?
It could be that the gapps pack you installed didn't include Google's Setup wizard, if it didn't then the restore feature introduced in lollipop won't be available. Though I've noticed with that type of situation that opening the google play store will trigger it to download all the apps you used to have out of the blue for seemingly no reason. (like it did pre-lollipop)

So is there a solution to this? I always use the gapps provided on the ROM's thread page, is that always necessary?
Before I sent my Nexus back for warranty, I flashed CM 12.1 and it was able to restore a old backup. So where's the difference?
Using rom specific gapps are not required unless otherwise stated, I usually use Open-Gapps since I like their full Nexus pack and also their Aroma installer pack which allows you to set exactly what you want to install. Also if benzo rom has a feature request section you could ask them to include the feature in a future release.
The difference would probably be that CM 12.1 probably includes the setup wizard apk from google where benzo probably uses the aosp setup wizard which looks almost identical but is missing some "Google specific" features. This is my guess btw I'm not familiar with either gapps pack but I've noticed that not installing a gapps pack and setting up the phone on any rom aside from stock will result with it not giving the restore option.

Thanks. I'm not sure how long I'm going to run this rom I keep on getting app crashes. I just did the OTA update and installed the latest gapps and I'm still getting random crashes.

If you've flashed an AOSP rom you need to flash Gapps from recovery. You must use Gapps made for your android version.
