Update: Added a few more apps and moved some things around. See below for changes.
I put this together for myself, but I figured I'd share it in case anyone else wanted it!
I got the idea from MagnusRagnarok and his Cyan Power-up. Thanks MagnusRagnarok!
The thing is, I didn't really like Cyan Power-up for two reasons: His inclusion of apps easily available from the market and his inclusion of a pre-installed theme.
I made this simply to put the Facebook/Market bug fixes, Gapps, and the CM6-Snap-4.1 Kernel in one zip instead of 3 plus another apk. I ended up adding a few small apps and a choice of keyboards! You know, for choices.
Just wanted something to make my nightly flashing easier, but not make too many changes to CM6
I noticed today there is a way to turn compache on/off in Cyanogen settings menu
Just flash this after the nightly in place of the gapps zip!
Includes all updated Google apps from Cyanogenmod downloads section.

You should also grab SetCPU to take advantage of the new kernel here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=355326&d=1278385677
This will probably make it into my next update, but until then, get it here!http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=744067 Thanks Shyfe! Good keyboard!
If you find any bugs or know of something cool I need to add, post it below! Thanks!! Also, if someone could provide a better mirror, that would be awesome!
Was asked in the other thread, noticed in OP you moved things here.
Flashing after RC1 do the trick as well?

Yeah, you should be fine with the RC1, or really any nightly now and in in the future, and probably Cyanogen's final release, as it is basically a modified gapps zip.
The only thing to worry about is if it's compatible with the CM6-Snap-v4.1 Kernel, which I believe has been compatible with every CM6 build so far.
Sweet, thanks and thanks for putting that Firefox link up too. Totally forgot there was a Mozilla one. Then again, I have been using Chrome a bit more ... =/
Good **** though, good ****.
OP, you need to remove Root Explorer from this as it is a paid app and you are basically giving it away for free to whoever downloads it. This isn't fair to the developer as he/she'll will be losing out and this is similar to pirating.
Not trying to be a douche, but I've seen this before in the N1 forum as someone included a paid app in one of their roms. The developer was pissed off and had that person remove it immediately.
is the facebook fix just the apk in there?
very cool... thank you
I heard the Facebook fix isn't needed since their latest app?
Also, that the most recent nightly fixed the market issue without the trick.
Other than that this looks sweet, and good idea - I didn't want to use Cyan-power up for the same reasons. This is much cleaner (though I'm still not sure why you include some of those apps, I'd rather it just be the kernel + fixes).
Nice work!

You need to quickly take down that zip. Root Explorer is a paid app. There's no place for app piracy on XDA, it's not tolerated.
EDIT: It's $1 dollar. Why don't you just make a recommendation page, no need for 'packages' that are full of software that isn't yours.
makes no sense to me why you would rip a bunch of my included apps out of my roms/themes and then up in one very similar package + a paid app like root explorer and then criticize what i chose to add to my work. i do this for ease of install so after a wipe you dont have to install 50 different zips to get your setup back. if you dont understand thats fine, just dont hack what i do and then criticize what i do here, i spend alot of time doing this to improve user experience.

lol really??!?!! why man, why?
I mean come on.. I didn't criticize, I complimented, but noted that I didn't like the heavy theming and installing market apps to /system. Since you didn't offer any theme-free/market app-free version, I put something together for myself and decided to share it because I figured maybe someone else out there might also have the same view. I even gave you props in the OP.
I didn't rip anything from your package. Everything I had, I found elsewhere on XDA. To be honest I didn't realize that root explorer was paid, since I got it somewhere on xda. I figured the paid market link was for donation, similar to setcpu. I was wrong...
Which brings me to my final point. The download link does not exist. The package has been pulled and this thread is dead. Why you decided to post in the first place seems crazy to me, but whatever. It doesn't matter. My job has become overwhelming and I don't have time to maintain it.
Next time, if you've got beef with me over something ridiculous or otherwise, please shoot me a pm or contact a mod or something. To me that looks like a flame post, and I,for one, would like to keep the forums clear of this sort of thing. Thanks.
I have the Perfect Storm rom that comes with the power widgets, which are awesome with a capital A. I saw a mod for it to add the recent apps back in, but installing it from recovery fails.
Does anyone know how to get both the power widgets and the recent apps?
I've seen a screenshot with someone with it here:
http://i52.tinypic.com/rw1dza.jpg
Thanks!
Didn't work in recovery because they are metamorphs. Can't be installed via recovery. Not sure if its written out here but on the mikmik forums there is a how-to for using the metamorph. I'm on the perfect storm1.3 beta 1 and have both the power toggles and recent apps in my pull down.

Because I wanted something new and fresh, I installed MIUI. But I now have some (major) problems.
1. First of all, I can't download anything. I logged in with my Google account and I am connected to Wi-Fi (I don't use 3g). When I try to install an app from the market, it is stuck on 'Starting download...' forever. There is no downloading bar in the notification bar. I searched a little on the internet, and I was told that I needed to go to the 'Downloads' app, press menu, and then 'Download using Mobile network'. It seems odd to me, because I want to download via Wi-Fi. Anyway, whatever setting I use in that download app, it doesn't work.
Browsing works fine by the way.
2. Second, what is this strange green app with the up-arrow on the homescreen? It isn't translated into english (I'm using the latest language pack). It looks a lot like the download app, but that app is on the homescreen to the right, and it is a blue app with an arrow pointing down. I can't delete this green app, because it is a system app. How can I get rid of it, or at least translate it?
Thanks in advance.
Can you post a screenshot of the app you're talking about? (Menu+Volume Down will take a screenshot)
About the Market, that happens to me sometimes, on various roms. Try this: Force Stop the Market and Talk. Then open Talk and make sure you're connected, then open Market and try downloading again.
That green app is the MiUi updater. It allows you to get OTA updates for MiUi. However, this only works if your running the original Chinese version. That app is usually removed in the English pack but in the latest MiUi 1.6.10 its required because the Theme Manager has some dependencies on it.
I installed Khal's MIUI ROM successfully. But there is no Desk Clock on the Home Launcher pages. I used the "search" button on my phone and type "clock" so I can found it and use it.
But is there any method to make a icon on the Home Screen for quick use later. Please help me. Thank you.
Is there any solutions. If you don't know just let me know, or you guys look down on me.......
You can use MIUI clock widget and just click on it to launch the clock app. Alternatively you can use a different launcher.
You can try going into manage applications & clearing the cache and/or data on Launcher2
im pretty sure the clock app is in the tools folder on the home screen. my phones at motorola getting fixed so i cant look right now.
@CrystalShield no one looks down on anyone here. well at least they shouldnt. we have all had problems and it never hurts to ask. thats why we all come here, for community support
@easye420: I am sure that when I install the ROM of Khal of MIUI in this link. There is no app call "DeskClock" on home screen. I can list them here.
Page1: Gallery, Camera, music, Settings, Root Explorer (it's mine) , [Chinese something] and Theme manager.
Page2: Some Google Apps, facebook, memory, overclock, fast boot, twitter, and FM Radio.
page3: Wireless tether, Voice Search, News and weather and some of my apps (because everyone know our apps will stay at the end the these)
But I also use the "deckclock.apk" in /system/app to run the Clock. But i want it stay on my screen. I try use Shortcut, but when I click the shortcut, it "open App Manager" (like when we try to Run a APK file in ASTRO) and I also need to click on "launch" to run the app. It isn't what we want when we try to make a shortcut for an application, is it?
@3rdstring: I did, but it restore to original (still don't have it on Home).
Is there any solution for me.
By the way, Thanks all you guys very much. English is not my first language, if there is something impolite or immodest in my words. I'm sorry.................
And I am also newbie of this forum, so I don't have enough 10 posts to post and ask in the Development Box. That why I disturb you guys here. Sorry about that.
Reinstalling the app works. I just move the apk out from /system/app and install it as if it's another use app.
I have the same problem. Copying and installing doesn't work as the app has 0 bytes (!) and I always get the parsing error-obviously
If someone could upload the original with its proper size that'll be lovely.
Thanks.

I removed the DeskClock.apk from /system/app. But when I use the "search" button and type "clock". It's still there (and of course it still can be used). I have no idea about where the real app is.
It's really weird for me.(of course because I don't have enough knowledge)
This is what i do to get deskclock app to show on the screen.
1)Using root explorer copy the deskclock.apk from system/app to sdcard.
2)Using root explorer again delete deskclock.apk from system/app and in data/dalvik-cache look for [email protected]@[email protected] and delete it.
3)Restart ur phone.
4)install the deskclock.apk from sdcard and the app should appear on your screen.
Use launcher pro. Its faster, sexier and will show all your applications!
hi, sorry if i am a begginer, but i have few questions: (i have cm10.1 on galaxy tab 2 10.1 - p5110)
1. i have to periodically update gapps (to flash them), or they update from play store?
2. i understand that cm is deodexed, the apps installed from store will be odexed? i will have both odexed & deoexed apps?
3. cm for my device is created specially for it, with the right drivers?
(because sound seems a little low and luminosity the same, compared to stock)
4. is there a possibility to have softkeys in left of screen?
5. it seems to me that the resolution is different than stock? because the screen looks a little bit condensed...
6. i can, for example, to disable apolo and install stock player?
7. how about the dialer, i have wifi version and it's missing, i want it for those service codes (imei, service menu, etc..)
8. how can i make my own flashable apps package? to not install them one by one from store. i have to deoex them?
9. how about wallpapers, they appear zoomed on homescreen ...
10. where i can learn how cm works, about deoex and all those things? on their site are not much things explained for begginers
Thank you for understanding
no one?

do not post twice! just wait someone will read it!
anyway i will try and help you.
1) no they update via play store if update is present.
2)all your apps are deodexed now.
3)yes it is, but kernel is different and so are drivers because it is compiled from source and not by modding samsung rom. so it differs in few aspect, but it will become better and better with the developing. nightlies are not the top notch version of any rom, just wait!
4)that i do not know hope some dev will answer you.
5)it could be due to different kernel and gpu drivers. like said before wait for RC and stable version to see good things in that aspect.
6)you can do that. but i suggest not to remove apollo, just install the music player that you want and set it as default player so you do not mess with system files.
7)wifi verion=nodialer! if there is a mod for that search or ask a dev to do it for you or study and do it yourself!(for the study thing read down)
8)long thing to do, just patiently wait them to install from play OR install titanium back up, do a back up of the app you want, then you just need to install titanium back up and restore those app from there!
9)don't know what you mean. sorry post screenshot!
10) to learn everything you need check in xda forum under android general! AND go to XDA-UNIVERSITY and learn what you need!
11) NOT ASKED BUT REQUIRED: IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT BUY A BEER TO ANY DEV THAT HELPS YOU OUT IN SOMETHING OR THAT GIVE YOU SOMETHING USEFUL!!!
i'm not a dev so just give me a thx and i'm happy
enjoy!
9. Use quickpic

Ok for the wp problem check some app.. i do not know how to fix that sorry.
For the second one, well dialer apk is the one for the phone dialer you do not need to find it directly, the same goes for a lot of other apps. For anyone those search Google or xda to discover what they are and why they are there
I use quickpic and still have the same problem with wallpaper. i'm hoping there is a better answer but the way i got wallpaper to fit is by extending the border.. exp wallpaper has black background and is 100x100 create picture thats 200x200 paint it black then c&p your wallpaper and center it.
complicated? thats what i'm saying lol. again i'm sure theres a simpler way.. and no ... just resizing the wallpaper so its smaller wont work
