[Q] Google Apps on a CM7 ?

I flashed CM7 and gapps.
Now i was wondering how i can get the google apps?
Google Maps
Google Latitude
Goggle Mail
etc.
(would like all the google apps that came originally with the phone)
I'm new to the whole Desire world

I may be wrong with this so please wait til someone confirms but i think you can remove the apks' from another downloaded ROM and install them to your own. Just download the zip file of a seperate ROM find all the APK files you need and install ....
Not sure if any of these files have extra files on the ROM that you need to move with them so like i say please wait for someone with more knowledge to respond

my mistake didnt read the post fully

You can download them from Market.
That's why they're not included in gapps.

I didn't find it in market.
So i re-flashed the CM7 and gapps and got the menu where i can choose what i want to download. But it aswell couldn't find maps and gmail.
I had created .apk for all google apps of oxygen so everything works now.
Thanks for the help

That sounds very strange.
I flashed last night my HTC Desire to CM7, and flashed the gapps universal dpi.
With the first boot I was asked which Apps I would install and Maps & Latitude are downloaded from the Market.
Maybe you had the wrong gapps installed...

Same problem here. I installed the same way as you did, got the same install menue and some google apps were installed.
But not Maps and Earth.
So I tried via market. I find Maps and Earth in market but when I try to download, nothing happens. Can't DL, so can't install.
Tried Nightlies 25 to 33 with same result.
Also tried full wipe, but nothing changes....

I have a question about installing gapps. I found my gapps here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
how do I flash them? do I wipe all data/cache/dalvik first just like on done with the ROM?

No need to wipe.

Ok thanks
quick question again lol
I'm with alltel but my ROM says US Cellular..does that make any difference?

i had the same problem with CM7 #34 on the first try (only cleared data/cache before flash)
gapps universal start up just fine, but failed on downloading maps
also when trying later directly from the market the download failed without any error, it just stopped..
cleared data/cache & dalvik cache and reflashed CM7, after that it worked fine..

Very strange, I have no such problems with flashing the google addon.
I have downloaded CM7 Nightly #32 last week, and am going to flash a newer version soon.
Good luck everyone.

That solved the install problem
Still don't understand why I could not install via CM G-Apps or Market, but anyway....
Thanks!

That's probably because you are not in the US and not all apps are available everywhere. E.g. GMail isn't available, for whatever STUPID reasons, in the German market for me.
If you want it, all you can do is getting an app called "market access". It will allow you to emulate a SIM card from T-Mobile US and then you have access to everything.

Was this an Over the Air (OTA) update or something you installed yourself?

If you are rooted you can install market-enabler. This should fix your problems.

or wait, maybe I understood you wrong.
Can you see the apps you are interested in in the app-store?
Only the download fails?

no app fails
and where i can download market enabler?

Flash gapps
Hi, I just recently had the same problem as you (Ithink). The anwser is to download and flash 'gapps' on top of Mod Rom. Find the link by going to my question in Desire Q&A named 'No Android Market'.(look for blue question mark icon, near page 6) Make sure that you delete user history and cache before flash. You should then have working Android Market icon on your Desire. you will need to register with google as part of the set-up(after flash) so have your wi-fi enabled. Good Luck, baab666.

that means i have to flash my mobile again?

No
No, you just flash gapps,
1) download gapps.zip
2) place gapps on sd card
3) boot into recovery
4) clear user data and cache
5) install gapps
6) re-boot and register with google.

thank you very much
now my market is working
but all my data was lost

Sorry
Yeah, Sorry about that, you're meant to load 'gapps' straight away after Mod Rom. If you don't clear 'User Data' and Cache then it doesn't work. Shouldn't take you long to get sorted again. I use Cyanogen Mod 7 (Rom) and it is very nice, try that next time. baab666.

google play apk

Sorry, I have been searching for a while now and just don't have the answer. I used TWRP to load AOKP-38 on my Fire. Now I want to load the google play store and get the netflix app, but I'm not sure how to install the apk. I have it, and I put it on the SD card at the root thinking I could install it that way through the install function of TWRP, but that has to be a zip file, and I am just not sure how to do it. I've been searching but I'm getting worn out and no answer. I read about side loading possibly, but not sure what that is. I saw mention of that in the fire beginners thread, but I still don't know anything about the procedure. I'm on a Mac if it helps to know for any help.
I was previously on the Modaco rom so this was all kind of done for me since I was still using the stock fire interface.
Please tell me how and thanks for helping me install it. I'm borderline frustrated since I haven't been able to solve it myself, and I just wanna get Netflix on it and watch some Top Gear UK.

yeah just start fresh wipe wipe wipe but not your sdcard please!!!! Flash rom flash gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip reboot enjoy

If what the Thepooch said doesn't work which since you have not replied I think it did. Though you could flash a rom that already has it with it gede for example.

Thank you, I've installed the rom and it works of course though it looks like I'm back to stock. I did like the other one however, just wanted the google play store. Was I supposed to reset EVERYTHING and wipe clean like i did? I screwed that up. What was the proper way to keep the ROM and install this?

You should always wipe find the rom that you would like to install w/ the gapps that I suggest wipe wipe wipe flash rom flash gapps reboot.

I believe I gotcha there. I went with the Hellfire CM9 in the mean time and seems to be pretty good as well.

Thx for info

[Q] Google store force close.

Today i downloaded the cyrogenmod 10-20120827 for sprint s3 in clockwork after i flashed it google play store was no longer in my apps. downloaded the .apk from online but every time i try to open it , it force closes right away. what do i do?!

I think you need to flash the gapps package in recovery after you flash the rom.

First: CM10 stable is out.
Second: install gapps.
I think you need to go to the Cyanogen Mod 10 thread in Original Development.

CM 10 & Gapps won't install

Having issues with latest nightly CM 10 (cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip) and gapps (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip).
Here's the process I followed:
ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.0
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Mounts and storage > format system
Advanced > wipe battery stats
Flash cm-10-20121206-NIGHTLY-maguro.zip
Flash gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
After doing this, I don't have any google apps. I don't know what I'm doing wrong, do you?

If you have Google play store and can sign into your Google account, you are OK. Some of the Google apps such as YouTube and Gmail are now not included with the Gapps package as they can be downloaded.
If the packaged failed to install, what are the errors given by recovery?

I know the CM10 ROM includes play store, and that I have the ability to search for each Google app individually and install it manually, but why? Why do I have to?
Recovery does not give an error during install. I get the nice asterisk banner and it says 'Google Apps for Android 4.1.2' then it verifies md5 installs and says Installation complete! Successful.
I have tried with ClockworkMod recovery environment v6.0.1.0 as well as TWRP v2.3.2.1
I find it hard to believe I am the only one with this issue, but it also surprises me that I don't see any other posts with this specific problem. I'm sufficiently confused.

It seems you are not installing the latest gapps from Goo.im. According to this guide. You have to flash the latest available Gapps. You can find it here on the date 30/11/2012.
Try installing that Gapps and I hope it works with you

I appreciate the response. The latest CM10 for Maguro is only Android 4.1.2, which is why I used the corresponding version of gapps. In fact, if I go to your second link, the 30/11/2012, it specifically states '!!Not compatible with 4.1.x.!!'.
It may be time to try Paranoid Android or some similar ROM with gapps baked in. Although I'm a huge fan of Cyanogen's work.

Oh I noticed something now. Actually I read that it is always better to wipe cache and dalvik before flashing any Gapps.
One more thing, try installing the CM 10 only then download GooManager and use it to download and install the Gapps via GooManager.
I know that your method is very fine from recovery and these are only another ways but sometimes using another way really works
Good Luck

No, CM10 doesn't include play store. it comes from Gapps. In the past most google apps have to be provided separately from CyanogenMod because of copyright issue (for more information you can have a look at Rootzwiki's post on Gapps). Since Gmail, youtube, maps and navigator weren't available from google market (now called play store), they came packaged with Gapps. Now, those apps have appeared on google play store so i guess the dev has left them out from the Gapps zip to reduce size of the zip.
if you failed to flash Gapps, you will not have play store. the fact you have it means you flashed it correctly. I just checked with the included apks of your version of Gapps. you will get google talk, play store, voice search, calender sync and contact sync, face unlock, plus a collection of background services. no gmail, no youtube, no map, no current, no google+, no reader. anything the play store can provide are not included.
so, Gapps did install correctly in your phone, but it doesn't have those apps you expected to see.

It all makes sense now. Thank you. :victory:

No custom rom is allowed to include gapps. They are not a part of AOSP, but property of Google. Google doesn't OWN AOSP, but maintains it as a member of Open Handset Alliance, for which they're a major force.
Google asked CM - politely, i would expect - to remove them in the past, because it's the most used, AOSP-based, custom rom.
And stop with those myths that one needs to wipe caches to flash roms or gapps, not true. Wipe data (to switch roms) or format /system, yes, to start fresh; but even then, there's no need to wipe caches. I assure you, no bootloop comes because you didnt wipe caches.

thanks a lot for this explanation! i was going crazy, thinking that gapps just wouldn't install even after flashing it over 10 times... XD
