So i i tried rooting and unlocking my phone for the first time and it actually worked! when i got home and decided to flash the roms i got an option to boot to recovery and before doing so i cleared data cache. When it restarted i realized that I no longer had the majority of apps that came with the phone including the marketplace app. I also am not able to sign into my gmail account to sign in my phone with google. PLEASE help me im desperate! i tried unrooting but that also seems not to work because while i boot up my phone i still see this pink unicorn boot animation.

that is what i am using. if you are using the "builds" then you will need to install the Gapp.zip. if you are using the "milestone" rom then you do not need the Gapps.zip.
you should reinstall the AOKP rom and then flash the Gapps.zip

it seems you are new at this. you rarely doing anything from the bootloader. if you want to start fresh. a proper way of flashing a new rom is:
1. Go into recovery
2. Make a backup (takes a while; always backup when flashing something new, just in case)
3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
4. Wipe Cache
5. Wipe Dalvik Cache (in advanced settings)
6. Go to where the AOKP rom you downloaded and flash that (make sure its the right one, "toro" is for LTE GN, and "maguro" is for GSM GN)
7. Go to where the Gapps.zip is, flash it.
8. Reboot and done (make take a while, dont worry. flashing something a new rom always takes a while to boot)

this should not have happened. if its just the Android Market then go into Settings> Apps> All> Market> Clear data. reopen the market and try it again.
if it still is crashing, then go into Recovery> Advanced >Fix Permissions> Reboot

Ah... being a newbie at flashing. I learned way back on the OG Droid how to weave my way through android. I remember before we even had CWM... good ol' times.
At any rate glad your problem was fixed. You'll love that ROM for sure.

Glad you got it all working! Once you get the hang of it I think you'll find its less complicated than jail breaking an iPhone. It is for me anyway. Welcome to the addiction. LOL.
