About LinkBacksHi I'm new to sapphire and just did a full wipe and restore to the newest version. I have used many different ROM's and I do not understand this one. This ROM comes with nothing.... No market so I can restore any apps with Titanium. I googled this and saw a post stating I need to install google apps apk so I did and I have more apps but still no market. Where is that bastard hiding?

02-02-2011 12:24 PMThat's true. I didn't haze him about it because I did the same thing one time and I've been installing custom roms on my Droid for over a year now. Some times you just get so excited about a new rom, you just jump on it!! Originally Posted by JMTownsend83

02-02-2011 12:27 PMIndeed...and for one who is unaccustomed to this practice, even the term "gapps" is confusing...I myself have never tried a rom without them included... Originally Posted by BayouFlyFisher

02-02-2011 01:40 PMNow why is it that some roms install the gapps with it, and some you have to install separately? I have seen where people say that on certain roms Google says you have to, but I have never seen the reason behind it. Anyone care to elaborate on it for me?
Does this smell like chloroform to you?

02-02-2011 03:13 PMIf I recall correctly, Google sent Koush a letter stating that he was not supposed to bundle Gapps in his rom. It was assumed this happened because Cyanogen Mod had gotten so very big/popular that it attracted their attention. He was told he could provide the Gapps as a separate install and so that is what he did. CVPS then adopted the same procedure. Most others did not. Originally Posted by ukyfan

02-02-2011 05:04 PMThe way it works out is that Google does not want their proprietary apps included in non official phones/builds. Roms based on official OTAs for phones that come with the market can have google apps packaged into the rom itself, but aosp roms are not supposed to have them packaged in. CyanogenMod even got a C&D over it all a while back.
It's just how some low end phones not made by big manufacturers don't even come with the market. It's because google wants control over what phones run their apps.-----------------------------------

02-03-2011 09:19 AMGood info guys, thanks. Yea I installed Sapphire and I had a google apps apk, but it was the wrong one. It must have been one from another ROM and I accedantally installed the wrong one.
