Default mt3g broken root with google apps

Hello,

I've had a rooted t-mobile g1 and mt3g for many months now without any problems, except one. My mytouch was really slow when trying to bring my home screen up, it would stay black for 1-2 min until the home screen would finally show up. I knew it wasn't right, because my g1 acted quite normal.

To fix this, I re rooted my device by installing drc83 base defanged.zip from the boot screen, then installed cyanogen 4.2.1.14.1. After both files were installed, I rebooted the device.

The real problem: now my phone is quite snappy, but I cannot open any google apps like market, gmail, and sync. I have searched the web, and posted elsewhere, but no help.

Please help!!

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention, my device also reboots by itself now, like 3 times a day.

unroot your device, root it with the latest amon ra recovery for the MT3G. Use the recovery image to format your sd card to your liking. Then just enable usb in the recovery image and drag over the defang base and the latest cyanogen. just flash then both (first the base then cyanogen) without wiping. Change your ext2 into ext3 (not ext4 since some ROMs don't support it yet).


Also for your sd card I recommend at least 96 mb swap and a 512 ext3 partition.
LG myTouch Q

Recovery: CWM 6

ROM: CyanogenMod 9
