just rooted my optimus V and installed CWM, went ahead to try and install I.H.O CyanogenMod 7 ROM, but it asks that after i flash the rom i have to flash gapps.
sooooo, what is gapps.zip, and where can i get it/them?
gapps is a container for the Google apps such as Google maps, Google mail, Google talk, etc. they are usually provided on the thread where you get the rom
This post has it. Sorry couldn't provide external link.

I just installed the new Cyangen mod 7 rom and it installed fine but theres no Android Market app anymore. Without it I can't download titanium to restore my backups.
You should be able to find the latest version of the market in ROM Manager. Look in ROM downloads under Google Apps. It may be there. If not try doing an XDA or Google search for the download and I'm sure you can find it posted somewhere.

You have to flash GAPP's, its available wherever you downloaded CM7 from. Due to licensing they can't include the google apps in CM7.
ah thanks I got it now. Apparently the app didn't install during the first installation.
Hi,
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it had some great Google stuff on it (e.g. Market, Maps, YouTube, ...) and it asked me to connect it to a Google account at activation, so everything worked great.
Now, following Google's guide (source[.]android[.]com/source/building-devices.html), I downloaded the Android source, built it and flashed it onto the phone. Everything worked fine, but now it does not have any Google support, I can't even add an account in the settings to sync my contacts, so they are gone, not to mention that I can't simply install apps from the Market.
Is there any possibility to get this support back within this custom Android?
If not, is there any rooted ROM that has this Google support?
I have searched this forum and the web, but all solutions don't apply to my problem.
Thank you in advance!
Search for "google apps v7" it's a zip file u can flash in recovery.

Hi - thanks to you all here I solved my previous issue - now I have a question hopefully you'll have the answer to.
I tried to find the google talk app - the one that lets you chat with your google contacts - but it's not in the ROM I'm using (CM9.01):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1730954
Now I googled a bit and found some "inverted apps" that had all the google apps - so I tried to install it and no luck - It works but I can't chat with it - it shows my contacts and then I can type - but they don't receive the message and I don't receive theirs.
Is there an app or a tweak or a mod or a whatever that fixes this?
Cheers in advance guys!
Did you look I'm google play?l
I thought Talk was part of gapps. I am using FB's AOKP milestone 6, build 4 ROM, and I don't remember installing Talk individually. I use this almost exclusively to chat with one of my contacts all the time.

I did the additional install so that I could install the Google Play on the device - but no google talk was present.

I searched the Google Play store to see if it was downloadable and I couldn't locate it.
Any ideas guys?
Talk is in gapps.

That's the same gapps file I flashed, so you should have it. Maybe doing all the clears and re flashing gapps.

Hello,
does someone know if there is an official place where I can get the Google Play Store app?
I had the problem today, that I installed a new rom and there was no Play Store to load my apps.
Best regards,
Manuel
you have to flash gapps for your ROM, just installing the play store isn't enough as you will be left without google accounts

Additionally you'll have to install gapps for your specific android OS. There are gapps that are ICS specific, JB specific, etc.

And why wouldn't you just install the archived Flash directly from the Adobe site?
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
Scroll down to Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives and install away. That's the latest version and installs FINE on the SGS4G running 4.0.4 (as well as my Galaxy Tab 2 running 4.1.1)
That's why I provided the link, I made it flashable so you can install it while your flashing JB, and gapps, I provided the apk in case you don't want to Google all day. Last I even provided the link so you could down load it strait from Adobe. Frankly I don't care what you do, I am just trying to be helpful.
