With Cyanogen Mod 7, you can choose which Gapp you need when you set up the first Gmail account, as a CM 7 user I no longer update this gapps package.
By the way, the gapps package is only to be used with CM6.

If you have already installed your ROM and have been using it for a while, you may also try this more convenient way to move updated apps from /data/app to /system/app if you have Titanium Backup installed :

or you could manually move the files with Linux commands.. both options, IMHO and no offense whatsoever to the effort put in to these packs, are better than waiting for update zips.. use the market as it was intended

Thanks to Carig for providing the above procedure
-------------------------------------------
By the way. It's easy to make an update package by yourself!
Here are the steps that I used:
1. Download any gapps update pack
2. On your phone, update Google apps
3. Find your updated google apps' APK files in /data/app, copy & paste them onto your SD card
4. (optional) if you Want to immediately apply your update pack after making it, uninstall updates of all your updated Google apps from Market
5. copy updated APKs from your SD card to your computer
6. use any Zip file manager (e.g. 7-zip, a free one), open the old Google apps update package (the zip file)
7. Carefully re-name your downloaded APKs to the names in the update package (e.g. rename com.google.android.gm-1.apk -> Gmail.apk)
8. copy and paste your new APK files into the Zip archive
9. (optional) sign your package, using Zip Signer (freeware on Android Market) or using this tutorial:

Thanks man, it's so useful to me everytime I flash a nightly : )
Thanks a lot!
Thanks very useful
thankyou very much
I would love to see a program which can work with exchange Group adress lists. That together with a nice email widget is moving me towards sense all the time.
Good Stuff! Thanks
what abt market?
If it's not already on /data, will this move it?
Prob a stupid question...
What if we already have GApps installed and we don't want to wipe?
Maps 4.7 is out.
Thanks guys, new pack is now up, including updated Maps, soundback and Terminal Emulator, rebased on CM's gapps-hdpi-20101114-signed.zip.
This update package will not automatically remove updates which you already done in Market, but it's easy to remove them. Just go to Market and "uninstall updates" to all your updated system apps.
I'm currently learning how to make update script, I hope I'll implement that feature later.
Thanks for your work, I'll keep an eye on this thread too

Thanks a lot,
Now I'm on holiday so I'll give them a try I'm very new to Android development.
I had few problems with the Terminal Emulator, I can not simply replace AndroTerm.apk with newer version, it will force close if doing a clean installation (flash rom then immediately flash the update package)
I'll look into this problem....
Hey guys
New pack is now up
includes updated Google Voice, Voice Search and YouTube.
thanks, keep this updated
Thanks very much.

This is a reference thread to consolidate all the helpful information in the main Entourage Pocket Edge Development thread. If you have questions regarding the material posted here or need troubleshooting assistance, POST THERE instead of in this thread. I would like to keep this thread more as an index.
Many thanks to the original authors of the posts linked here. I'm just referencing them. They were the folks who did the real work figuring this stuff out. If you get a chance, hit the Thanks button on their posts. Especial thanks to kennyminot & brianb5010, who pioneered getting a working Market.
Nifty Things To Do with the PE:
Install the Amazon App Store
Entourage has closed its doors and will no longer be offering its meager selection of apps through the Store that comes pre-loaded on the device. They recommend installing the Amazon App Store. I do too because it's probably the easiest way to get z4root to root your device.
Root Your Device
Install z4root from the Amazon App Store and select the Permanent Root option. The app does the rest. So easy!
Sideload Apps from Your Computer or Another Android Device
Method 1: Download the apk to your computer and then connect your PE to the computer via USB. Mount your PE and transfer the apk file from your computer to your PE. Unmount PE, locate the transferred apk, click on it to install.
Method 2: You must have a Dropbox account for this to work. On your other Android device or your PC, place the desired apk in your Dropbox. Access Dropbox on your PE via the app or via the Dropbox webpage and download the file. Locate the apk on your PE (usually in sdcard/dropbox) and click to install.
Backup/Restore Your Apps
Install Titanium Backup from the Amazon App Store (or sideload it from another source). Titanium Backup is a Swiss Army Knife app. It does many many useful things, including backup your apps with all their settings. IMO, it's worth every penny for the Pro version. Having a working copy of Titanium Backup is necessary for getting Google apps up and running on this device.
Get Google Apps Working
Yes, you can get Android Market, Gmail, Calendar Sync, etc working on the PE. Detailed instructions are HERE.
Switch Internal Memory & SD
Restore Your System
If you mess up your device or simply want to return to factory settings, follow the instructions HERE. Note: restoring via this update.zip will revert your PE back to Dingo (Android 1.6). It's a good idea to download the update file now to have on hand in case of emergency because Entourage is discontinuing the PE and it's not known how long the related websites will remain available. Click HERE to download the Ermine update.zip so you won't be stuck on Dingo if you need to restore. Thanks to the geniuses on MobileRead Forums for discovering the download link for Ermine.
Have a suggestion for something that should be in this index? Have a clearer way of explaining how to do something? Post in this thread or PM me.

"Get Google Apps Working

The link is dead.
Tired from using different market unlocker or enabler apps that are not responding well and not downloading the apps that are not available in your country..
Are you fed-up from searching for the apk file of that app and can't find it..
Now you can follow these steps and I can assure you that most of market apps will be available in your country for installation (or buying --> need test).. "Some of them still can't be accessed by this guide.!!"
This guide was tested on Motorola Xoom and it went perfect..
So here we go (No need for any third party program ):
1) Go to your ordinary android internet browser that comes with your android device.
2) In google search, go to android market.
3) If it asks by which app you will open the market website, choose "Browser".
4) Now you are in android market website.
5) Search for the app that is not available in your country; here is 'drive mount' app as an example.
6) If it asks by which app you will open the page, choose "Browser".
7) Now tap on the app that you are searching for (don't tap on install button); here is 'drive mount' app as an example.
8) If it asks by which app you will open the app, choose "Market".
9) As you can see, the install button is active..
10) Set back till installation finish
GIVE IT A TRY NOW
tried on my SGS2(2.3.5) and the market version 3.4.4.
it worked only once, opening an app link with the market app but it says I'm not allow to install this app so exit from the market app and opened the link with the default browser instead, then hit INSTALL and logged in and hit back key, choose the market app, finally started downloading.
this procedure didn't work for the next time. maybe I need to be logged out before trying this.
thanks anyway for showing me the way around.
Thanks for nice tips,
it easy than update MNC and MCC code in pros
oky
I`m using Orbot and it`s great
with the market enabler I can be where ever I want and it solve the problem for me in syria
i tried this tip with my HTC Sensation, market version 3.4.4, app : Pandora
but it's not work !
thank you anyway
Worked only once galaxy ace, market v. 3.4.4 thanx anyway
why not try Market Unlocker? just one click to let you install these apps:
http://support.evanhe.com/2012/03/08/introduction-to-market-unlocker-2/
tried with both market enabler and market unlocker and no joy. even this workaround doesn't seem to work which sucks.
anyone know any other way round this.
using a htc hero with one of the MIUI roms
try apk downloader which is chrome extension. this is the ultimate solution for me.

My After-Flash AppsVersion 1.4.1
Hi guys !
Boring to have to download again and again and again the same apps after flashing a new rom ?!
Maybe this tool is for you !
I'm used to flash roms, several times a week, almost always AOSP ROMS, or ROM without apps like manager files or like that, and sometimes i can't flash, over the current , so i need to wipe, and lost my apps, and have to download them and install them again and again ...
So i made an AROMA Installer, using Aroma App Package Creator , which i can use after flashing a new rom, like i reflash GAPPS ...
Maybe it could help someone, so i decided to share this with you !
AROMA config of this package is a little bit modified by myself.
I Hope you'll like it
ScreenShots
Installation
Download zip
Put the zip on your SD-Card
Reboot into Recovery
Install the zip file
Make your selection with AROMA environment
Reboot
Give me your feedback =)

Q/A
For which device is this tool ?
> Because of the update-binary-installer file modified, it's made for Sensation and SensationXE,but maybe it could works on some others devicesHow can i put my own apps ?
> Open the zip file with Winrar for example, or your favorite tool, and just drag and drop your .apk files in My_Apps folder.
But be careful, names of your apps don't have to contain any spaces characters, replace them by an underscore "_", or something else !
Future Updates
Multi languages selection (English / French)
Possibility for people to add their own apps from a subfolder in SD-Card (without touching the zip file)
Suggestions
I don't want this package become too big, but any suggestions are welcomes
Will be updated regularily !!

Sounds like a useful tools, but I don't know if I get it right. Can I pull my apps into it or is it only for the above mentioned apps you already put in?

I made a little package with apps mentionned (that's why suggestions are wlecomes, if some could be added ), but you could try to put your own in, if you want. Or trying the tools i used before "Aroma app package creator".
I'm working on a dynamic online aroma creator, PHP based. You should be able to put your apk, and generate your own package ...
But not ready yet
Sounds great! :good:
Are those apps written in Aroma or only put into the apps sub folder?
I would try to put mine in...

The advantage of AROMA is to have a visual and make a choice of what app you want to install.
So you have to modify it to see your app in the list, and managed to select them for installation.
Or you could just add some lines code which will automatically install some apps, without prompting ... but better way to make a flashable zip instead of an AROMA installer if you have nothing to select
Will test it tomorrow when I reflash my rom. Tested so many apps, icons and themes, it's nearly full of crap :good:

Hi,
Like i said in first post, i used Aroma App Package Creator, to make my fisrt package, and see how it works.
After that, i made some modifications in the aroma-config file to had some features, changed the update-binary-installer file for one worked fine with our sensi.
So you can extract the zip linked, and add your apps in data, and changed some lines in aroma-config. there are some comments in this file, it could be easy to know where changes have to be done.
But i'm looking for the best way, to allow people to add in their own apps ... without making some dirty modifications directly in thoses files
i also said that i'm creating an online tool, which allow everybody to make it own aroma package, with apps they wanted into. But not ready yet.
For your apps, Facebook, is already in, i think i could add MX player ...
Most important i think is ES Files Explorer, which allow you to install other apps from your SD
For the others, if there are many suggestions about the same apps you wanted in, i will add them
Thx for your feedback
Little screenshot added !
Thanks For The Reply... I will flash 10.1 JB Today and will then try your installer
and yes the tools you included are best for basic installations , and most use them too , I had those in my app list but you already included them so i didn't posted them ..

Installer fully ICS themed
Possibility to add your own apk in the installer (read Q/A in first post to know how to)
