Installed Sapphire 1.0 - Where's my Gmail & Market

Installed Sapphire 1.0 - Where's my Gmail & Market Also Gem Settings crashes

I did not wipe data or cache, I installed ultimate Droid 6 (Froyo) and Bugless without wiping everything was good with them except screen would blank out after closing Browser or camera.

Sapphire doesn't blank out but I lost some important apps and when Markets is one of those apps its hard to load up the rest.

You need to install gapps.

Also, please wipe data and cache before install in order to really eliminate any major issues.

Like what...? You never posted any questions at all...

Also, before you go saying it's because the market is missing, it's because google wants its apps to be packaged separately from roms so that people know that those apps are the google experience. Cyanogen even got a C&D letter over it.

I am positive that any bug you had was probably an oversight or easily fixed.

Just installed Sapphire do not understand how to install gapps without astro or some other file explorer. Please help.

You install it as a .zip.

I understand iinstalling it as a .zip. But how do I rename it if I can't see it?

P.S. I do not have a desktop.

Install it just like you did the ROM, but do not wipe data.

Oh, and by the sounds of it you are using SPR? If so, then you are kinda out of luck. If you could find a way to download astro or another file manager through the browser and install it, then you could rename it, but otherwise without a desktop, your only option is ROM Manager (though I hate to suggest it to someone with a computer...).

You can use Rom Manager to temporarily install clockworkmod recovery, reboot into recovery, install your gapps.zip then use RM to flash SPR back if CWM bothers you that much.

If you'd rather use SPR, you should be able to use Astro to rename the gapps file to update.zip and move it to the root of your SD card. Reboot manually into recovery and install it that way.

Personally I know there's been issues with CWM disappearing on rom installs in the past, haven't seen it happen in awhile though. When I did lose it it was simple as flashing it back via RM. In the mean time it makes life easier when you can install a zip without needing to rename it update.zip.

Well, I guess some of us really like bug-ridden ROMs.

Enjoy BB.
