Uncommon Sense won't recoqnice Google account.

[Dark Wizard Matoya]

So in my ever continuing quest to find a ROM that works for me I think I may have finally found it, Uncommon Sense 1.1 I think it's an older ROM but it's exactly what I'm looking for, the stability of Sense but the launcher and lock screen look like AOSP Android. I flashed it tonight and I loved it but I had a huge problem, so huge I went back and loaded a nandroid of my previous ROM, Senseless rEVOlution. When I loaded the ROM for the first time I loaded the ROM it wouldn't let me enter my Google account information. The option to do so was greyed out and when I tried to select it nothing happened, though it still let me enter the information for my Comcast.net email account. Then when I tried to open the market and the Gmail apps I immediately was sent back to the home screen, I didn't even get a forced close error. I went into settings>accounts and sync and found no option to add a Google account. I checked all my running applications but there was no opstion to update or uninstall the market (version 2.2.7). As a last resort I went to the web based market to download Astro file manager to my hone but it said that it was already installed and wouldn't let me install it again. I tried downloading another file manager (I forget what it's called) but it never downloaded to my phone. Finally I jut got fed up and restored my nandroid of Senseless rEVOlution. Not only did everything work the way it should but that other file manager had downloaded to my Senseless rEVOlution nandroid backup somehow. I really don't get it. I really want to use this ROM but this problem needs to be solved first. Doed anyone have know what the problem might be? Shoulf I unsync my Google account from Senseless rEVOlution and flash Uncommon Sense again?


Oh and I should mention that I culdn't get any of the apps and widgets that were installed, like the HTC colck widget, to recognixe my location. This too was fixed upon loading the Senseless rEVOlution nandroid.

i guess start at the beginning and work your way up:
Did you wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache before flashing? (clearly you prob would do this bc u seem to flash a lot, but one never knows...)
Did you get a bad copy of GApps? Did you flash GApps directly after flashing the ROM before rebooting? (not being able to enter ur gmail acct in the first startup would bring me to think this)
Did you use clockwork recovery or rom manager?
Maybe your DL wasn't good on the ROM you downloaded... check and ask for an MD5 for comparison, or reDL and try again...
Have you read anybody else in the forum for this ROM having similar issues?
that's where I'd start, I know it's very vague, but so goes troubleshooting... hope it helps...

Thanks for the reply.

I wiped everything before I flashed the ROM, and I actually did a full wipe and reflashed this morning with the same results. I'm still thinking that since Google still recognizes my Senseless rEVOlution nandroid as the ROM on my phone something is going wrong with the wipe process, though I can't imagine what. I downloaded the ROM from it's XDA Developers thread. Both times I flashed both times using Clockwork and I flashed the gapps package immediately after flashing the ROM, just like I always DO WITH cm7. Should I unsync my Google account from Senseless rEVOlution or maybe reload my nandroid of the stock ROM and try again?

I think the issue might fall in flashing the gapps, as far as I know that is not necessary for Sense ROMs.

Thanks. This is actually my first Sense based ROM so I didn't know that (though that would explain why there isn't a gapps package for download in the XDA thread...). I'm used to AOSP ROM's so I'm used to flashing gapps as well. I'll try it without flashing gapps and see what happens.

So I flashed the ROM without flashing the gapps package and it works as it should now. This really is an old ROM, it even has the old version of the market before it was redesigned. The only thing I;m worried about is that it;s telling me that there is a system update available, and with all the recent talk about carriers cracking down on root users I'm afraid to try to install the update. Other then that it's all good.
