Hi,
I just installed the 4.2.1 rom from aokp but I can not find out how to download any apps. There is no marketplace or google play app. Do I have to find the .apk and download it manually? If so do I need a special version for 4.2.1?
Thanks
Download and flash Google Apps. Goggle "gapps" and download the version for your ROM.
As previously mentioned you need to download the latest version of Google apps for ROMs based on Android 4.2.1 (Such as the latest version of AOKP) and flash the zip package in recovery. Google apps compatible with Android 4.2.1 can be found here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.

Thanks a bunch. I must have downloaded the wrong one before. Thanks for the links, that did the trick.
Wow, you all are really quick with the answers. Kudos.
Course, now bluetooth seems broken. It seems to be a a2dp issue. I'll post again with a different title but basically when I tried to listen to music/podcasts it is fine for like 3 seconds then turns really staticy and garbled. I heard the latest nightly from 13-01-28 addressed this so I flashed that which is definitely better but the voices seem off like they are speaking at 80% speed. Weird.
Thanks again you all rock!
A suggestion for you is to get Goo manager. Some of the devs have the gapps right there when you select the rom version for download, Lets you download them together. It'll help you get the right gapps for the rom your looking to use.

hi, im new to the whole root/flashing concept but decided that motorola are dragging their heals in too long to bring the xoom mz601 upto to ics if ever so ive managed to unlock/root and flash with everything all up and running apart from internet connection not working but ive found solution and the only other issue ive got is both the gmail and youtube apps fail to update from playstore with the message (package file was not signed correctly. uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again) so i need advice on how to fix this please, how do i remove apps and if so will it cause a system issue? anyone help a noob?
did you flash a gapps package with your new rom??
@draxin hi, yes i flashed EOS_GApps_ics_4.0.3_v10.5 immediately after flashing Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip
both gmail and youtube work but show update in playstore and give that package file was not correctly signed message when trying to update. just noticed there is a newer version of gapps named: gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip which ive downloaded directly from the goo.im app but am not sure if i need to flash Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip again first or can i just flash the new gapps and will i need to clear anything?
update
Just updating that I decided to try a reflash of Eos-umts_everest-2.0.0.zip and then immediately flashed new gapps (gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip ) and after a couple of tries I've now got latest Gmail and YouTube as the latest gapps had removed them which made life easier for a noob like me. Loving my Xoom even more now with team eos ics running on it and looking forward to the next stable build which hopefully gives the data arrows on network signal as its really odd not knowing if data is being transferred in/out plus extended battery life would be great too although I'm sure I along with thousands will be waiting for jellybean stable release by the year end.
Seems I came late in here. Anyway, you could have flashed the latest gapps without reflashing the rom. Good luck and enjoy ..

hi, never too late as its nice to know what is possible and what is not. is there away to get just play music to flash as ive managed to delete it as for some reason it wont play any of my songs yet it finds them ok, not sure if the old music.apk was in gapps but ive got that and it works but i would like to see if i can get the newer music2.apk to work
Music.apk is part of android (aosp)
Play music is on the play store.
Gmail and YouTube are no longer part of gapps I believe because they are both on the play store

I thought play music was in the play store but its not anywhere to be found in UK store which is why I was asking, I could flash gapps again as that's in there but it wouldn't play any songs. If there is a fix for it playing then flashing gapps would be easiest option I believe, I've been told I can flash gapps without flashing rom again but should I wipe cache and dalvik before any flashing?

Always give a new rom sometime to settle in before you judge battery life. Like 4 or five cycles and you'll see how it's working.
I'm glad to hear you're loving the Xoom, running EOS!
Can this be flashed onto cm9 at any point, or does it have to be at the clean install? Also is there any difference between using the zip and just installing the apps from the play store in cm9 other than saving time by having them all in a bundle?
Thanks..

1. Yes you can though some people have had some bugs where the home and search button wouldn't work if gapps weren't flashed before the 1st boot
2. Cm9 and other aosp roms don't have any of the Google apps including the play store so you HAVE to install gapps
Hope that helped buddy

True but have you tried it on 4.2.2? I extracted this one cause it was the best one that didn't crash.
so for me its the best version, its me passing it along not, nothing more.
I'm actually curious about this. I'm still trying to to find the best combo of browser and flash version. I'm on 4.1.2 cm10 now and the latest apk works fast with several browsers.
on 4.2.2, flash would freeze up and video would go black more often. 'tint browser' I found was the most reliable. do you find this older version works better?

After some weeks testing each with amazon video and embedded news reports, the newest version, 115.54, is working just a bit better than .12 for me.
I get less black video and fullscreen toggling is smoother.

Maybe coz your already running latest version that why it ain't updates but if you do want a the version on ere. Just extract it from a zip file it should work or what I did with flash awhile ago to use it with aosp when they was no flash for it was use app back up and restore. I backed it up from sense system file and when I flashed a aosp ROM I just installed it from a file manager so should work if it was other way round too

In general, are gapps updates backward compatible for all roms?
Specifically, I am currently using the Illusion Rom and flashed the recommended gapps package. Today I was alerted about a new gapps available. Should I flash this new gapps?

It Is Not required to update them cause they can be updated via playstore.
and if u still want it check the info cause if its backwards compatible it will be written.
Thanks!

Actually, in my recent experience over the last few days with flashing half a dozen roms and gapps you can't just mix and match as you want.
Certain gapps were made for different versions of android.
For example, I tried several roms built on android 4.2x and was installing gapps made for 4.3 and it kept crashing the keyboard which was great because without the keyboard you can't enter any text or info at all.
I found out later what was going on because I found the gapps repository which included release notes for each gapps zip package and in there it indicated for which android version they are made.
I thought the roms were bad but went back again and reflashed the roms with the older but correct version gapps and then they worked, no keyboard crashes.
So in short, flash the gapps package for the version of android you are installing and then later once you are up and running if an app needs updating it will do so via google play.

Hi, I posted this on the CM forum, sorry for cross posting.
I managed to flash CM and gapps, and it is great. Thanks everyone! I was reading the following article:
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013...ntrolling-open-source-by-any-means-necessary/
and realized we don't have the newest versions of some google apps - only those realeased with "vanilla" Android. Can we get hangout and other apps? What else is missing from CyanogenMod and you recommend installing?
Thanks!
Whatever is missing from our Gapps package are what is available in whole from the Play Store. So if you want Hangouts, head over to the Play Store and give a search for it.
