Hi everyone. I just recently flashed the new 6.0 froyo cyanogen and its amazing. At first, when I flashed it I had 2 problems.
1. No Market app
2. I didn't get a setup screen for my gmail.
That problem I fixed by downloading and flashing the google apps zip thing.
Now, there's a new problem.
1. Market continues to say "connection failed, retry or cancel" for everthing I try to download. I press on and download.
2. I basically cannot download anything at all.
3. Youtube as well isn't working... I get the same thing as the market.
I did see a google chrome apk in a cyanogenmod website, it said it would help? I don't remember with what though.
Do I need SDK in order to use apps?
- Thanks.
Did you flash the correct google apps? It schould be named gapps-mdpi-FRF91-3-signed.zip.
Did you wipe before flashing?
What version of CM6 did you flash? If it was a nightly, try another one ore RC2.

Yes, thats the name of the Google apps i flashed. The name of the cyanogen rom i flashed is -
update-cm-6.0.0-DS-RC2-signed
I tried flashing everything once more on my rooted G1.
This time i flashed DangerSPL. It was probably the reason it didnt work. I will post back if it works.
Noticed this in quite a few custom ROMs that market doesn't work after flashing. I kept getting the 'download unsuccessful' errors all the time. So on a hunch, I replaced the vending.apk and MarketUpdater.apk files in /system/app with the same files from CM 6.1 beta, and market started working again (as in I can download files again). However, now I am getting market FCs every minute or so. Is there any other that probably needs to be replaced? What are the market's dependencies?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
i have the same problem with market: download unsuccesful but i didn't flash my phone or anything. i tryed but it didnt work. after a while i've noticed that the market send me this msg when i try download smth.
how we solve this?
bump...
someone please help...
Ok, I have a solution here (sort of) which I've tried on various custom ROMs now and it works. Last time I replaced vending.apk and marketupdated.apk and it gave me FC's all over the market. So, this time, instead of replacing individual APKs, i flashed the whole Google Apps package from CyanogenMod via recovery. It solved the market issues for me.

and how exactly u did that? there are a lot of files/dirs there, which one to download?
Hey aatifahmad,
I also would like to learn how to apply this update.zip. I tried it via recovery but it seems I had recovery 3e and it does not do unsigned update.zip. Do you have a workaround for this issue or did you revert back to recovery 2e?
If you have an easier way, please let us know. I really don't want to mess with the recovery.

Why is that download so damn slow?
Mediafire is a real good Hoster to download directly to my cellphone, but for now, it downloads only with 5kb/s . Just boring :S
I hope this Version works for me, until it's down in 6 Minutes^^
EDIT: Does not work :/

are u running 2.2+ android ?
honestly I'm running CM6.1 final with 2708 kernel/hack
I never tried installing manually and created the flashable update and it worked like a charm on CM6.1 Final 2708
It simply replace Vending.apk to the newest version and chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk also...
You do need a recovery that accept test-keys AKA rooted & unlocked BUT why aren't rooted yet ?
Thank you
This looks great. No problems I just flashed and it works great!
I got this to work by going into "Titanium Backup" and on the MARKET app, chose the wipe data button, then un-installed the old version of "Market".
Then I rebooted and ran the update.zip and it worked!
Hope this works for you!

I did even release a 2.3 sdk port to G1 since so much ppl were kindly asking for it
Nothing worth a mention IMO lol
I'm gonna give a few of my spare time to G1 dev <3 paste your adb logcat on pastebin so I can check
That would really help

Thanks for your input, update wanted ?
It could delete more & do it all, just being safe here...
I can't test on so many android devices atm !
95 downloads so far since a few hours not all bad it works !
ok it didnt work for me...im using mytouch 3g...it flashed but the market says loading then goes white...i didnt nand (noob move) but i know froyo will just reinstall all the apps but i dont feel like going through all that.
does anyone have a flashable version of the froyo market so i wont have to wipe? thanx in advance
I'm wondering how to flash this onto a phone o.o
I'm new to the flashing, rooting etc stuff ><
Edit : Continued searching and found out it has to do with recovery mode. Just cant figure out how to switch to recovery on galaxy 3
Did a nand backup, flashed the zip, rebooted, FC on Market before even launching, launched Market and a white screen. Restored from nand to get back up. Running OTA 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
Any ideas? Manual installation via ADB?
To save you the trouble of putting the adb method , you can refer to my post .
It does the same thing but manually and its working for sure (Eclairs and Froyo ) : )

Cheers !
I just got this OTA update for market. I just backed up my old market, then installed this from the SD like a regular app. I didn't have any problems or need special permissions. Maybe someone could try this if they're having problems with the flashable or adb.
Two threads?
Ok so someone else started a thread for this in the development section which I thought to be weird, just wanted you to know, here is the thread. Personally I would rather just have one, yours : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526

did exactly what he did here, nd works like a charm
is this flashable to sd card? I have cyanogen 6.1.0 android 2.2(froyo). Its probably a dumb question. But I'm asking this because theres another thread which indicated on his post that he didn't make his flashable. And its similar to this except that one runs on adb. So I'm wondering if this is flashable?

same rom..same problem
even doing adb doesnt work
Okay. So i have my g1 rooted. With froyo 2.2 cyanogen 6.1 ROM. As you may know, it doesn't come with google apps. So market isn't available. I've been looking all over the web. Trying each and everyone's market.apk and market.zip . All doesn't work. I tried normal install from a file manager. Nothing. Tried adb process. Pushing it. Still not working. Tried android command, still not working. And finally, your file, which i flashed. Still didn't work. All of them I got the same. When I open market, I just get a white blank, then after 5 seconds, goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas to help me? Would really appreciate it.
Or I was thinking of doing this. Reflash the stock android 1.6 with root and then try the market. If it works, use nandroid back up. And then flash cyanogen 6.0 froyo 2.2 and restore the backup that i made with the market. DO you think that will work?
succesfully installed on my g1 cynogenmod but the market get fc when i try to download

Have you installed the google apps package after flashing cyanogen rom ?
wiki
Just wanted to post, thank you. Running SS4.9 on a droid, was having problems getting this app to work until your post. Downloaded and renamed to update.zip and so far is working like a charm.
Thank you very much.
I was wondering if anyone else is having issues with Supernova?
After installing 2.0.6 I could not receive calls. I flashed back to Stock and re-flashed ROM. Everything worked fine except the battery. It would drop down to 98% after disconnecting from charger. I decided to try to 2.1. Every time i would install it would say error or bad. I redownloaded it twice and even went to stock. Still said the same thing. No idea what went wrong?
So i went back to 2.0.6 and now my gmail force closes when hitting the menu button. I tried to install it from market and it says unsuccessful.
Any solutions? Is there a similar ROM with the 5 screen lock?
battery drops to 98% is a known issue for any rom on 2.2.1.
supernova needs sometime to be mature ...
Did you unzip the supernova and try to add/remove any apks to it? That's the only time I've ever run into errors when flashing.
2.1 should have fixes for your gmail woes...
What is the exact error you are getting when you try to flash 2.1?

I can't remember exactly what it says, it starts to install then says aborted, error installing the supernova_2.1.zip <and under this says (bad) the rest i cannot remember.
Open the zip and rezip it it sounds like a bad DL or just go and grab the 2.3 JS5 and give it a go.
Oooo, a thread dedicated to one of my ROMS shortcomings!! You like me, you really do like me!!

how can i install twlauncher on miui me and my brother have moved to miui and he wants twlauncher back but miui to stay. i know it may be possible
If you cant find TouchWiz from Market, download stock rom, extract it and find a .apk file called twlauncher or something liek that
tried pulling apk from samsung (darkyys) rom not having it keeps failing install
and cant find it on market

Hmm, I dont know.
It may be becouse MIUI is 2.3.4 right?
You could try downloading the app Nitrality from the market and seeing if it'll install through that. No guarantees it'll work though.
Another option is to try him out on a different launcher, such as LauncherPro and see if he likes that.
