So I successfully rooted my phone last night and this morning I decided to remove some bloatware. Somewhere during my exploration I deleted a file which caused all the text to on my widgets to appear bigger and in red. I did a Nand Restore and a factory reset. I'm still rooted BUT I don't have my Market Place, GMail, I can't sync GMail. I go to "Accounts and Sync" settings and there is no GMail add on...only regular mail. I downloaded through the regular phone browser the Gmail APK and Android Market APK and nothing. I click on the Market....it asks if I wanna sync an account...I say yes and it takes me back to the home screen. Gmail...same thing. Help will be greatly appreciated
EDIT (7-30-11 @ 1:10pm)- I did a Nand restore, apps and all and everything is back to normal....BUT still no Gmail or Android Market

Ahh that is unfortunate but if u can download Gapps separate. The Gapps=google Apps. Just look on most cyanogenmod threads for the link to Gapps. For future reference twrp can backup Gapps too its located in the nandroid menu.

So apparently even the Google maps doesn't work -_____- .........assistance please

bro, you gotta go download the gapps package.
Get the zip, flash it through recovery. Your problems will be over.
Here's the link, even.

Awesome....thanks for the help guys. Everything is now running smoothly and flawless. And I removed the bloatware that I wanted to remove.

So anyways,
I was using dsixda's kitchen to cook VillainROM 5.4 (add & remove a few things here and there).
Wiped data and dalvik prior to flashing and then flashed the ROM which went fine. Upon first boot, phone stuck and white-green htc logo so I took out the battery and rebooted and then it booted fine. Added my gmail account in the setup wizard, connected & synced.
Now this is where weird begins. Somehow, official Facebook app apeared in my app list, and Market was only showing free apps, and it should show all apps. So I went to check /data/app folder and sitting there is com.android.vending.apk. New Market apk that somehow magicaly appeared out of thin air. Also, my Market download list shows all my previously installed apps and among those, Facebook as already installed and with an update available. WTF!?
Can anyone explain to me what just happened? This didn't happen with untouched VillainROM 5.4.
Market is linked with Google account, so could be that?

Sure, but I've never seen Market app auto update itself. What's up with that? It essentially blocks me from having all apps in market.
Okay, I found out what was the problem.
It seems that there's an update to Market app to version 1.713 which silently installs without user approval.
To anyone having trouble with this new version blocking access to paid apps, go to Manage Applications -> Market and select "Uninstall update". After that, remove MarketUpdater.apk from /system/app folder (pull it before doing it, in case something weird happens)
I am pulling my hair out here. I followed all the steps to install CM7 including selecting Google Apps. After booting up it prompts me for my Google account info and it signs in.
Now the problems begin...
I cannot install anything from the Market. Everything comes up as download is unsuccessful.
However, if I go to the web market, I can install things from there and it works. I have cleared the market and download cache.

Tried reinstalling GAPPS? I had issues with contacts not appearing and no Google accounts listed. I couldnt even add a Google account. Everything was fixed when I booted into recovery and reapplied the GAPPS. What was weird was I could still make/receive calls and texts.
Yup, tried reinstalling Google Apps via CWM. When it reboots it asked me which apps I want to install, but wont install them.
Yes, I have network connectivity. I can install GMail from web market and get my email to work.

Not sure really. May want to post this in the ROM thread.
May have already done so, but I would wipe to factory, cache, dcache, and see if that fixes it. And I came from the Bionix FROYO build running the froyo bootloader. If thats of any help. Also, applying it in ROM Manager would not work for some reason. So I DLed the ROM and GAPPS to my SD and applied manually in recovery after wiping to factory and everything else.

NO
As for the issue, try going to accounts and sync making sure that background data is enabled and make sure you have things syncing to that account. Then remove the account reboot the phone and re-add it through the accounts and sync.
also try re downloading the package could be corrupt

If that doesn't work try wiping your phone.
Seems like this is with my account as my XOOM is doing the exact same thing.
Called Google for support, they cant figure it out either. Escalating to someone else.

Why not. The ROM thread said to not report bugs...not to ask how to fix something. The thread is full of being asking for help to fix issues.
it is not a CM7 issue at this point as it is happening with two different devices and even odin'ing back to a stock rom didn't solve it.
Hey everyone, I closed the Gmail account that my phone was using for the Android Market and now every time I start up my phone I get invalid email messages and can't use the Android Market.
I have looked and looked but cannot figure out how to remove the email adress and add the new one. When I try to remove it it says I cannot because some apps are using it.
I'm on the OpenOptimus Rom at the moment.
Any help is appreciated, I really want to download text to speech by Sonalight!

You could try wiping "Accounts and Sync Settings" and uninstalling all google apps (If you are rooted). Then simply downloads GAPPS and flash. Otherwise => install Titanium Backup, backup all your apps, wipe data and restore everything (Except google apps and "Accounts and Sync Settings") using Titanium Backup.
Edit: I decided to update the rom and everything cleared. Thanks anyways everyone!
Hello bought S3 from Three and when i flash stock room it always reinstalls these apps: Facebook, BBC iPlayer, Twitter, and 1 other cant remember. I know that google din't backup to my account, that setting is disabled. but when i flashed CM9 it din't install any apps, that happens only from Stock Room's. So it must keep them some where in device storage as a backup, hm i'm confused
If you put your Google account details in during the initial setup, play store will reinstall your apps.
Skip the initial setup and then add your Google account later. That way the apps won't download automatically.

Actually the setup wizard asks you if you:
1) Want to allow google to restore your previous settings and
2) want to allow google to backup your settings from now on.
Both on the same screen. I turn these off as google backup wastes valuable batteryl
Thats the thing it reinstalls these apps before the setup wizzard

But when installing CM9 rom all ok no updates. so something with Stock Rom. Maybe in couple of days or next week i will Flash another rom maybe i can get some videos. I also tried in the backup setting to tick and untick "Back up my data" then i'm getting a message "Stop backing up ... and delete all copies from Google Servers?" but still nothing stil the same.
Also i'm not sure if this is related but also on SD card getting these 2 files: efsbackup.tar.gz and efsdev-mmcblk0p3.img.gz
No seriously WTF just installed omega 9 same thing happen, before the setup wizard screen, it's installing apps Three, Facebook, Twitter, Smart Care, BBC iPlayer.
Ok using Root explorer, i found a folder "preload" and it has all the files includes so will delete and report back when i install new rom, does it restore again (from some where)
**** sake... just installed MIUI rom same thing.... what the hell samsung did....
GS3 (d2att) running Clockworkmod and Cyanogenmod 11-20140812-nightly-d2lte
Attempting to install blacked out version of Gmail but need to remove existing version of Gmail but I get the error "an existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed."
My search came up with most folks looking to remove their Gmail account not the app. The few I saw trying to remove the app were not rooted. Surely I am not the first person with this issue.
So I tried to remove Gmail with Titanium Backup but it just reinstalls itself automatically without prompting.
Tried to freeze then uninstall with no change.
Turned off my data and wifi and still have the same result.
Removed my Google account but still the same result.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to remove Gmail and install a different version. I have never had so much trouble.
Thx.

I'd use a file Explorer and go into two different folders. System/app and data/app if you find anything labeled Gmail delete it and reboot. That should solve your problem
