I just installed Cyanogen 6.1 on my HTC Hero from sprint. Everything works but there isn't any app market. I've been reading and its apparent I need to "Flash Gapps" but I have no clue how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.
The reason you have to flash the Google apps separately is because Google told Cyanogen (the maker of CyanogenMod) that it's illegal to bundle them with his ROMs. While Android itself is Open Source, the Google elements (Gmail, Market, etc) are not. You flash them like you flashed the Cyanogen ROM through recovery.
You can find the zip files here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
You want the latest mdpi zip. hdpi is for high-resolution devices like the Evo. I would recommend using Amon-ra recovery instead of Clockwork, but for this purpose it's fine. Here's a direct link to the zip you're looking for: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip

I have a Motorola Milestone on Telus running Cyanogen 6.1.2 for Milestone (Android 2.2, leaked Motorola kernel). My only issue is that the Android Market web site says that I have not opened the market recently on my device and to open it and try to download again. This is not true, and I am able to download and install both free and paid apps from my phone, however the web site will not work. Everything else on the phone functions as it should, with no problems (push, apps2sd, JIT, etc.)
I have tried clearing the market cache, and the download manager cache, as well as reflashing the market via openrecovery. So I was wondering How might I get the web site to be able to download apps to my phone?
Any help appreciated, thank you
*BUMP*, please. Oh I figure I should also mention that installing the stock version of the market wasn't working so I downloaded a blue version by Pendo and replaced the .apk in the update zip with the default 2.2.11 vending.apk and flashed via Androidiani.
Final *BUMP*, I promise. Hope somebody can help me
Hi guys this issue has been in my wy for a while now but now ive decided to ask
. I run Aokp build 40 on my nexus s. I then install a gapps-ics2012*** file from goo.im and from a couple of other sites. Rom works beautifully as usual. But every single gapps i flashed after rom flash the install becomes successful, yet when i boot my phone the only gapps i c r google play,talk, and search. Nothing else. Please help me flash properly so ALL the gapps can show up (music, gmail, googlr plus, play books, maps etc.) Coz all i got now is google play and talk. I can dowbload them manually from play store but thats irritating n hacing a google phone is supposed to present u with pre installed gapps.
Thanks! Answer shall get thanks as usual; )
Nothing wrong here, that's how it's supposed to be. You always have to download Maps, Gmail etc via store. (They're not in the zip)
However, you can add them to the gapps-zip yourself: Download all the apps you need and then fetch the apk's from /data/app. Open the gapps-zip and there add them to /system/app. Next time you flash the zip, they'll be installed as sys-apps.
Only app this didn't work for me was Chrome, complained about something's missing. But since I don't use it anymore, I never cared to investigate.
Edit:
Should you make your own zip and there's an update of an app via store, the new apk will be placed in /data/app on your phone, overruling the one in /system. So to update the zip, get it, add it... Not exactly rocket science, right? ^^
Thanks alot!but i do think the jellybean roms will come with preinstalled gapps included in the roms?Like the GN jellybean rom ect

Do you mean when you have to touch the Android?
That can be fixed by touching the 4 corners of the screen!

yeah I think in jb all gapps are included
@bony we need more info, Rom and gapps version, things like that. Also, if the Rom wasn't properly signed, then gapps won't work.
Any app that is available in the market is not included in the zip.
That's the way it is and there is no issue.
OK so I'm having trouble understanding how to get google apps on some of the custom ROMS. I understand how to flash the zip but all the forms keep saying get the apps from your rom manager. The Tab 2 doesnt have a "supported verision" and can not find at all how to get the zip file. Little help anyone?
I don't think there is a difference between Google apps on a device basis, but you can try and go to http://goo.im/gapps and download for CyanogenMod 9.0.x

Are you running CM9? I have found that site too but I want to know if im missing something from the ROM Manager...
Yes i'm using CM9, and I just flashed the zip from the link and it work perfect.
This is a simple tutorial for those on there who really want a fully functional Google Camera without needing to install a ported version or buggy version just to get away from the glitchy green flickering while recording video or who want a slight increase in quality and usability. It's simple, to begin all you will need are the following to get started.
1. Official TWRP Recovery installed and functional.
2. A LineageOS based ROM to install (E.g. LineageOS, Resurrection Remix, etc).
3. A specific GApps package is required for this step. Navigate to here: https://opengapps.org and make sure you have selected "ARM64" for "Platform". Now select your Android version and make sure you select Stock GApps package and above (Very Important!) (Optional: Aroma Package can also be used but was avoided in this tutorial.) The reason I asked you to install the stock package and above is because the stock default camera (AOSP Camera) is replaced with the Google Camera upon GApps install.
(Recommendation: If you prefer a pixel like device like I do with all stock AOSP based apps replaced with Google apps then install the "Super" GApps from opengapps.org).
4. Backup any important data before proceeding.
5. Wipe the appropriate partitions in TWRP.
6. Flash your ROM of choice + GApps.
7. Done!
I know that most advanced users already knew this was possible I just thought I would create this for the non-technical savvy folk. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy your new Google Camera!
Probably a silly question, but can you still download this and install each apk from the gapps file individually? Only asking because I'm on the Verizon s9 plus so don't have many options.

Will this work if we flash this over Touchwiz after changing the updater script?
Can you please post some pictures just for the sake of quality? So that we can see how good it is.
Hdr+ wont work this way
so recently I accidentally wiped everything on my phone except TWRP. Then I managed to boot up the phone with liquid remix installed with android 9.0 and now my phone is missing the Samsung apps (which I want on my phone) how can I get them back is there a flashable file or any installable pack I really want them back
so if someone can help please tell me what to do I will really appreciate it
Aosp based roms and Samsung apps usually don't mix very well.
You could backup your Samsung apps using Titanium backup, then try to install them one by one in your android 9.
You could also Google for a site that has Samsung apps apk's.
Don't expect much success ?

I have the APK s I just can't download them to my device if you know how to install them can you help me or redirect me to someone else that knows what to do
I suppose you've enabled install apps from unknown sources in settings.
Try to install as you would any apk, i.e. open in file explorer.
As mentioned before, don't expect them to install anyway (maybe 1 out of 20??); most are not compatible with aosp roms.
For your aosp custom rom - look for similar gapps or apps from the app store or XDA.
