uninstalled critical system app

hi, its my 1st post
was messing around with System App Remover and think i may have uninstalled a critical app without backing it up.
stupid i know.
now i cant use gmail, market, etc. in Settings, Account+Sync, my google account is gone and when i press Add Account, nothing happens.
is there any way to find out which app is missing and somehow replace it?
Heres the problem, i cant flash anything because for some reason the phone needs rooted every time i reboot (universal androot) and i cant get into recovery mode either by holding volume button down or using rom manager etc. i dont know why....
any help to either find and restore the missing system app or to get me able to flash a new rom would be much apreciated. Ps, i dont have access to a computer, i only have my sf.
(gen1, stock orange rom)
Cheers

 

hi m8, thanks for reply
yeah its that version of clockwork i installed (well rom manager says ive installed it) dont know why i cant boot into recovery.
if i could flash a rom, i would defo want at least a nice stable 2.2 rom.
when i go into Settings, Apps, Manage Apps, should there be an app there called GApps or Google Apps? because there isn't.
do you know where i could find a list of the stock 2.1 system apps so i could work out whats missing?
i would far rather upgrade my rom but as i said, this phone is my only window to the internet and my only phone so if i messed it up id be screwed lol

 

.....yeeha!
..ok i just went into rom manger+ it said "clockwork update available" or something.
i clicked ok+then tried rebooting into recovery and it worked!
beautiful orange text lol.
now..
is this when i should use titanium to back up apps?
i have 2gb sd-card, about 50mb of internal memory left so...
how much space should i clear on my sd-card to hold all my apps and a custom rom??
sorry for my newbieness but as you can see from my original post.... im blonde lol

hi el presidente. i want a custom rom m8. either a nice stable 2.2 or a decent 2.3 if u can recommend any.

hi m8, thanks

il probably get sick of it soon enough+want a 2.3 rom lol.
thanks for everyones help.

ps....
i found that i couldnt download the rom using opera mini so had to use skyfire.

 

ive used opera for years m8, on symbian+javd before android+havnt found anything faster.
downloaded dolphin+some add-ons lastnite but havnt realy tested it yet.
i like skyfire just for its flash support but hate it as a browser.
whats the ideal cpu speed i should set my sf at for performance m8?
think i have it at 710 max justnow usin no frills cpu but scared to set it higher lol

 

yeah i found opera mobile slower. just been playin around with dolphin+it seems realy rich+fully featured. also better for viewing desktop versions. im gona persist with it but keep operamini for fast on the go access

 

totaly. now that i finaly have app2sd anyway lol
where in scotland r u m8?
am in Paisley
