[Q] Rom Manager Will Not Run

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.

[Q] Quick CM9 question

I want to start off by thanking everyone that's put time and effort into making CM9 and the different roms/kernels what they are today. I'm still fairly new to flashing roms and such, only been doing this since CM7 for the Touch Pad and I've got it down for the most part.
I've kept up with the CM9 nightly build and just yesterday I flashed the update-cm-9.0.0-tenderloid-20120320-0800-signed.zip build. I did so by downloading the zip, rebooting into clockworkmod, and installing the zip. I then wiped the Dalvik and rebooted. All works fine with that.
I used the same process to install gapps-ice-20120317-signed.zip and all works well. Finally I tried to flash the update-lcd_density_120-nightly-eyeballer.zip and it flashes just fine but my app store stops working after that.
Am I doing the process in the wrong order or am I using a wrong build file somewhere? Any help is appreciated.

The app store (Play Store, Market, whatever we call it now haha) won't recognize the device if you change the dpi. There are a few workarounds you can find on rootzwiki. I'm not exactly sure what to do since I've never changed my dpi, but I know I've seen a lot of talk about the workarounds there.

There shouldn't be a problem using 120 dpi. Try clearing cache and dalvik-cache in recovery, and also remove data for the play store app.

I'm at a loss for words. I went ahead and did as you suggested and that had no affect, the play store still just flashes up real quick and closes out. I reflashed the 3/20 build without flashing the dpi update and the play store isn't working in there. Perhaps I need to start fresh by wiping the entire thing?

If you have a nandroid, you should be ok. You can always go back to it.
Try wipe/delete factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, then flash the Rom and the gapps. I also flash the gapps fixer, just in case. Once you're up and running, you should have market again. I use a dpi changing app (free in market) to adjust it. This worked for me, I hope it works for you.

Is it ideal to wipe dalvik cache between each Rom flashed?

What happens when you try to wipe from recovery? And some punctuation would help us understand what you mean better.

i tried to wipe/reset to factory using clockworkmod if thats what you mean and the process finished without any issue but the problem is there
the tp is stuck on the cyanogen9 mod boot animation this happened since i installed google play mod by chelpus (also tried installing gapps again)
so now i want to make a clean install of cm9

Try wiping only system and reflash. If that doesn't boot wipe system, data, and cache and reflash.

[Q] ROM'ed Phone, Factory Fresh, No ClockworkMod No Google Play

I ROM'ed my phone with CynogenMod 10.1.0 RC3. When I did that I got a "failure" message when I attempted to install GApps (I think it was a partial download). I continued with the ROM anyway. But now I have essentially a Factory fresh phone but I don't have Clockwork Mod or Google Play installed.
So how can I now install the correctly downloaded GApps? I also don't see how to go back to my previous ROM.
I ROM'ed my phone because I was getting the ("unfortunately, .... has stopped") for many programs again.
The problem is also that if I go to Google Play (in the browser on my phone or on my desktop PC) I can't install any of the Apps I had because they are "already installed" and anyway I don't have the Google Play downloader on my phone.
Help.

I sideloaded ClockworkMod ROM Manager.
(System Settings / check "Unkown Sources" to allow them; dowloaded the .apk and opened it with FileManager)
Used that to get ClockworkMod Recovery
Booted into Recovery and ROM'ed CyanogenMod and the correctly downloaded GAapps.
I now have a happy phone.

The real question is why these "unfortunately, .... has stopped" error messages keep coming back even after I ROM and do
- Factory Reset
- Clear Cache
- Clear Dalvik cache

Could be because of the Gapps package, I've had that problem before.

Okay, but how to I find out if GApps is the problem, and if it is then what do I do?

Try do a flash just without gapps, see if everything works then. If everything's fine, then flash in gapps. See if that causes any problems.
If that does cause problems, then I'm not quite sure, a fresh install fixes most problems...

Problem getting Gapps

First off, I'm new here despite having visited this site many times before. Glad to be here!
So, I recently flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 to my Moto G (xt1045). It's worked well so far but my only issue is that I can't seem to get Gapps on my phone no matter how many times or ways I've tried. I've wiped the Dalvik cache, done a factory reset, adb side loading...pretty much everything, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Does the developer recommend any gapps? Did you try these: http://opengapps.org/ ?
Flash through TWRP,in the upcoming menu you can chose which apps you´d like to have,which ones should be replaced etc. Wipe Cache/dalvik afterwards.
If you try to flash gapps what happens? Any error message? Just nothing?

Yes, the CyanogenMod site provided several links which I tried originally tried, and I also used your links but with no success. When the phone reboots, right after I swipe the lockscreen to unlock, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped working.". Sometimes it reappears several more times after I tap 'ok'.
I tried flashing Gapps using my first recovery which is CWM. When none of that worked I flashed TWRP, then restarted the whole process and still nothing. Does it make a difference that CWM was there first? Also, in TWRP I see no option for choosing which Gapps to be installed.

Normally you put the zip file with the Gapps on your SD card and when you push the "install"button in TWRP just scroll down until you find the zip and use the slider to flash them.
I don´t know your rom but often the procedure is to to factory reset and wipe the phone(Dalvik, Data, Cache and System), then flash the rom,wipe dalvik/cache and then let the phone boot one time. Skip all the steps in the setup process until you get to the homescreen,then reboot the phone into recovery again and flash the gapps. After that wipe cache/dalvik again and let the phone boot.
If you flash the gapps directly after the rom without rebooting there can be issues between sytem apps of the rom like for example playstore and playservices and the flashed Gapps.

Cool, I'll try that. I read somewhere to start with a clean slate ROM so I'm downloading CyanogenMod again. When it finishes I'll do what you suggested and report back.
