Hello. I'm thinking of re-installing some rom which doesn't have the gapps pre-installed. Thing is, I want to INSTALL ONLY THE MARKET. I tried pushing the apk into system/app/ but it won't load the app.
Does anyone know how to flash only the market?
How about using the Amazon market?

The flashable gapps doesn't only contain the Google apps. Also contains the services needed. Download the flashable gapps, and delete with 7zip or whatever software the apps that you are SURE you don't want, like for example gmail. The apk's you don't know what they are, keep them because they are needed (Google services). I don't remember the names now but I can take a look if you want to. Then flash it.

I tried that with Winrar, but I was getting errors. I will try later! Thanks a lot.

What kind of errors? I understand you have CM7, right?
I will upload the CM7 gapps only with market in some minutes and you try it.
EDIT: Added GApps with only Market and required things for CM7 Gingerbread! If you use CM6 Froyo tell me. It's not signed now, but from what I remember you can flash it anyway. If not, sign it or tell me.

What device do you have?
I got an HTC Magic. Running Diet Gingerbead. Was running CM7 1 month ago.
Flashing this file works on this rom or only for CM7?
Oh, the zip file doesnt work. It says verification failed.

Is it possible to just extract and install Only the Google Market app from the gapps-mdpi-20100816-signed zip file. It does not seem likely to work but I thought I would ask anyway.
It is a real bummer trying to buy apps from developers when you have no access to the apk files. Not to mention the apps I already purchased and now I have to figure out how to contact the dev and get a copy. Should have backed up my individual apps, lesson learned.
Yea I just tried installing Vending.apk and MarketUpdate and they do not work. The market app shows up but fails to launch. This is a serious flaw with this rom unless I am missing something. How is every one putting apps on their phone? For example Evernote or any of the other apps that are only accessible via the market?

I removed the apps I didn't want from the zip and then installed via clockwork.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App
Thanks for the reply and it was a good idea, unfortunately it did not work for me. I have no idea why. I finally resorted to installing the whole gapps package and that worked. It would be nice to get this figured out.
When I removed various apps from the zip and re-zipped the recovery did not seem to want to install it properly. As a test to see if it was installing I added maps in addition to the market and niether were installed on reboot. I may reflash and try again, It bothers me to have those extra apps hanging around. I think it may be important to have the firstrun stuff (OnetimeInitilizer) on there but I am not sure.
Any more ideas?

Install the gapps package, then remove the apps you don't want via adb. After removing them, clear dalvik cache and that will remove the dex files no longer in use and free up the space.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735255 explains how to remove with adb, if you need the info.
ahh yes, that method works good thanks. I quess wiping the dalvik cache takes the place of the "pm uninstall *.apk /data/system/packages.xml" on 2.2 devices.
Guys, I saw a bunch of people asking for a flashable 2.2.7 version of Market. I created a signed zip file for you to flash. I am using this on CM6.1.1, but I think it should work for any ROM. Hopefully a lot of you are getting the new market automatically...
To install:
Wipe market cash (under settings, applications, market, wipe cash)
Nandroid
clear cached, dalvik
flash this zip
everything should work great
Best of luck!
Market 2.2.7: http://rapidshare.com/files/438811534/market_2.2.7_signed_12222010.zip
Market 2.2.6: http://rapidshare.com/files/438805930/market_signed_12222010.zip
DISCLAIMER: Flashing a zip could always mess something up, so do this at your own risk and DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
Thanks, I've been looking for this.
I flashed the update via Amon recovery. I got a couple of network errors when trying to access the Marketplace the first time, but hit the retry button about four times and now it works fine. Thanks again.
let me know how it goes, make sure to nandroid first just to make sure!
Just an FYI, v2.2.7 has been out for a couple of days now

New market apk!
I used this apk for my market and it's working perfectly. I never tried the flashable method, but i guarantee this is an easier method

How does this replace a system app in system/app? Seems like you wouldn't be able to replace a system/app with a simple apk install.
Thanks for this. I was getting a FC when I tried the other methods but, this worked just fine.
Any noticable difference?
I am running this on my Nexus One and besides the obvious visual stuff, it seems a bet slower. I know this is the EVO 4G thread so don't take my word on the performance thing as YMMV.
I doubt it would run that much better on the Evo than the N1. They are pretty similar when it comes to hardware.
How do you find out which market I have?

I guess it just needed to cache some of the info because it seems to have picked up a bit.
This should be in Themes/Apps. Might be seen by more foes
2.2.7 does not work on CM Nightly 203 with a fresh wipe, or previous install. And I have no freaking clue how I got v2.2.6 working a few days ago, so I'm just sticking with that.
Would someone mind attaching 2.2.7 to a post here? I can't get RS from work (blocked) and downloading from my phone gives me a corrupt zip (Dolphin HD & mini, android browser, Miren browser). Not sure what the deal is with rapidshare and my phone.
Also, has anyone had any success with CM 6.1.1 final and this 2.2.7? I haven't found a combination that has worked for me yet, but will try this.
Hey guys not sure if this is the right spot but had a question.
I recently flashed cynogenMod 7.2 on my inspire (att) everything was succesfull and i really love the ROM. However, I have no apps now. I did do a search (including the ones that pop up upon creation of this thread.)
I also dont have the market place/google play. I saw a site that claimed you just download the .apk file and move it to the support/apps folder (at least this is what i found worked for some) If i try to install the apps (by going to the site, weather.com for example) it tells me the app is already installed.
I dont believe i backed them up using titanium or anything like that. I just flashed the new rom. (actually flashed a few to see what i liked) If i can just get the market place and install apps from there ill be square.
Again sorry if this is such a noob question. thanks for such an awesome forum!

You can just unzip a rom on computer and take apk out of it in system-app folder. If you have es file explorer use it to install or root explorer to place in right place.
Also if T's not called market if its updated its called play store so you might have it but looking in wrong place blood under p in app drawer.

so basically i can take the cynogen zip file, open it on my pc, put the .apk for the google play store, put it in the ROMS syste/apps folder, then replace this zip file for the one thats on my sd card? or will i need to reflash from the new zip file with the google play in it?
I guess you are looking for the Google Apps. They are called gapps. Look in the CM post where you downloaded the ROM. There is a link for gapps.
All CM threads have a link for google apps or Gapps usually in the first thread. Look there. Do a search on google for "Google Play Store 3.5.16 download". Not sure if it is the most recent but it should be close. Just install it like a normal app.
Dang-it, kimtyson beat me by 2.83 seconds. lol
found the correct gapp file but how do i install it?
note: i installed one from an apk file but it crashed everytime i ran it.
dang 5 minute post gap...

you have to flash the zip file (GAPPS) in CWM recovery...install zip file....don't unzip it...
alright guys, figured out how to install from the recovery page but its still not working, it all installs fine, but when i run it says 'server error.'
one is an older gapp build the other is the newest one, both did the same thing.
thoughts?

Use the file manager or other root explorer, find the file and keep press...when options prompt then press properties. You will get a large number (alphanumerical) just compare it with the one provided...
If not, use the adb commands...open a cmd session and go to where the file is (usually in the root of the sdcard) then type MD5sum "name of the file"

basically all i did was find a few roms to try out, flashed one, if i didnt like it i would flash the other. one hung up and wouldnt boot so i flashed cynogen back from a backed up installation.
from there ive tried just installing gapps of 2 different types from the option "install zip from sd card."

Also make sure that the GAPPS you are flashing is for the CM version you have flashed....don´t flash CM7.2 and GAPPS for ICS cause it won´t work...
got it figured out, somehow i found a link that listed a ton of builds for the gapps, but then i found 2 seperate links that were to individual builds, those were what i needed. thanks for your help guys!

Download the rom to pc, unzip it and pull out the .apk files that you dont want, rezip and flash.
something like this?
try this i have not tried yet

So real quick, I decided to install the Google calendar and so I removed the calendar apk that came with cyanogenmod. Long story short. Now no calendar works.
If I remember correctly, there was a calendar and a calendar storage apk. I'm assuming I need the storage one to make the local files match and sync with what Google has. Could anyone happen to post the original .apk of that? Or even better, post both? I was going to download one off the S3 forum but idk if its compatible, considering its a different phone and they are running 4.2+
Thank you in advanced
There's the calendar apk, calenderprovider apk, and the gogglecalendersyncadapter apk. The last is in the gapps. You can pull them out of the respective zips if you download them. I don't currently have the latest zip. And I'm not sure exactly which you will need, or all. Make sure you fix permissions afterwards.

Would the calenderprovider apk be in the cyanogenmod zip then? I feel like thats the one i need. Gonna give the googlecalendersyncadapter a shot really quick though just in case.
Edit: Which gapps do i need? the last one for 4.1?
