Guest rog8811 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 A brief history first, I now have two San Franciscos , First was a faulty OLED SF blade and am hunting down a display for it. While waiting I bought a faulty TFT SF blade, replaced the screen, rooted it and installed cyanogenmod 2.3.7, feeling really plaesed with myself (first time flasher :) ) I looked for either android market or google play, niether were installed. Downloaded google play.apk and installed it, when I tried to run it I was asked for an account to be added but didn't take me anywhere to set it up. anyway I found a place in settings to add an account, put in e-mail info, it retrieves data, click next then and get this. If I go to google play it can see both phones, so google knows it exists, I have tried sending apps from google to the phone but they never arrive. Can anyone shed any light on this? Maybe there is a box I need to tick or something but I am lost! Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bladebuddy Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 If your flashing cyanogen mod roms you will need to flash a separate gapps zip for that rom e.g Ginger bread gapps in you're case , then you can access Google play e.t.c.

Guest rog8811 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Having spent ages hunting around I have found this guide, http://sanfranciscoandroid.co.uk/android/how-to-choose-and-install-a-rom/ Would I be right in thinking that I can follow it down to Number 9, then skip to number 14 to instal the gapps zip?

Guest rog8811 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the initial input bladebuddy, it got me looking in the right places and finding the right answers, I followed the info from my own previous post and have got it all sorted! I have spent a few pence on widgets! Edited January 11, 2013 by rog8811 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
