JH7 QuickOffice newer then market - Captivate Themes and Apps

Finally got JH7 to install via Kies and noticed the QuickOffice app that is part of the update has options to create new files. The whole splash page is different too. I went in the market and it offered me an update, but that version has no "create new" option. I uninstalled the market version and reverted to the ROM version.
QuickOffice about says 3.3.4 - AMS for version; while going into application -> manage applications shows "Version 4" under the name.
In the market, clicking on update for quick office tells me that "QuickOffice for Captivate 3.2.47 - AMS will replace the current version.
Weird!

Yeah that is weird. How did you revert back? Just looked at mine and I have the old version. Guess I updated it in one of the many mass market updates I do every other day. Haha
From a phone on an app

I just noticed the exact same thing as well. I had Quickoffice for Captivate installed before the OTA update, so I figured the same thing.
When I checked the version I had 3.2.47 with no option to create new docs.
So, since I figured that this other version was bloatware (and probably in the ROM), I just went ahead and uninstalled the version I had and rebooted. Sure enough, when I rebooted Quickoffice was there again in my programs and now I have a version 3.3.4 with create new option.

You don't even have to reboot. Just uninstalling did it for me.

Glad I read this post. I had also installed Quickoffice before the update and didn't realize that the new version didn't install over my old one. I just uninstalled and rebooted like you said and the new version popped up. Thanks guys!

Well the version in the market does have create new documents options as well. After you sign into your accounts(dropbox, gdocs) you select an account and press menu it allows you to create new documents for the account and then uploads em after i assume. But yeah i like the version in the update better.

Awesome, worked for me! Thanks!

Is there any way to get this 3.3.4 jh7 quickoffice in one of the i9000 roms? I tried flashing to stock, kies-ing to jh7, rooting, and backing up quickoffice with tibu, but I can't restore it with assonance 4.3 rom.
I really need the night reading mode option from the 3.3.4 version of quickoffice as I use my phone for reading medical texts. Any ideas?

nevermind...saved a copy of the apk with rootexplorer and re-installed with rootexplorer after reflashing ass

I'm not sure if posting the apk is legally legit, but if it is, that would be helpful to others not running stock.

I'd be happy to if it's cool with the mods...it'd be nice if devs would start adding this version to the new roms. It's way better than the market version

hi i am new to android. I have a samsung captivate. I had quickoffice 3.3.4 AMS which i could edit documents. But today i rooted my phone and took a backup of the products using titanium backup. I tried restoring the product i am not able to restore. I installed the cognition's lastest version. Please help me recover quickoffice.

Couldn't you just rip it from I897UCJH7 - OTA System, Kernel, Modem - Clockwork Flashable - Rooted?

Stuck in "starting download" in marketplace

D/L'ed Titanium backup last night and started removing unnecessary stock apps. Tried today to D/L from the marketplace and each D/L gets stuck in "starting download." I was reading somewhere that removing Google Talk might have something to do with this. Any suggestions?

Also, instead of starting a new topic..I have already rooted my phone but can't seem to find a step by step to installing a custom rom. I D/L'ed Darchdroid 2.7 but don't really know where to go from there. Link or see below?
Is this the correct way?
Download ROM ZIP of Choice: XDA Wiki - ROMs
1) Copy ROM ZIP to SDCard Root (/sdcard/)
2) Reboot into recovery mode>Flash zip from sdcard>select ROM ZIP

Okay so I have been experiencing the same problems. I am a bit new to this but have been reading like crazy on how go fix it.
So here's the deal: I have the Droid X 2.1 w/update (not 2.2), rooted, and yesterday I started uninstalling annoying stock apps, using Titanium Backup. Not thinking anything of it, I then go to the market and realize that I cannot download anything. My phones internet works great! (I'm using it to write this now) and I can even download apps from the phones stock browser, but the Market is stuck on download. I followed your instructions on uninstalling it, canceling it, rebooting it, but nothing is working. I think wiped my phone thinking it would reinstall the stock apps. To my dismay, nope. So now I have no apps on my phone except the few stock apps I have left. I heard the problem is Google Talk but if i'm not mistaken, DroidX can't flash ROMS. So any suggestions? I'm open to all!

You can find the Droid X bootstrap app in the market. Just download it and run, then select boot into recovery, scroll down to Mount & Storage, mount system, apply zip. This is all assuming your already rooted.

Rom manager doesn't work on my droid for some reason. It reboots the phone but nothing else. My phone is rooted. I don't know if I should buy this and it doesn't work
But thank you for explaining what to do very helpful
Rom Manager and the Bootstrap tool are two seperate utilities. Search under koush to find it if your having trouble. You don't need rom manager in order to install roms.

Hey
I downloaded it. I hit bootstrap recovery and then the second link. It rebooted and got to the "green screen". I went to back up and restore and hit it. Now my screen is black. Did I messed up my phone, is it normal and takes a while, or can I just pull out the battery and start fresh??
EDIT: Forget it got it, it was empty, I just hit the power button and it went back to normal....
Actually I'm supposed to hit the camera button not the home button, I just saw that :/

You are definitely NOT breaking any rules.
The leak is just that, a leak of a Verizon test ROM, or perhaps Moto, but leaked software nonetheless.
It is not anyones original work other that Google, Verizon, Moto.
If it was a ROM Developers personally modded tweaked themed built ROM, then it would be inappropriate.
I feel that leaks should always be given to the community for free if someone gets ahold of one, its better for the community.
Anyways...I have installed and works fine...no significant changes from. 13 I have seen.

The market speed on this leak SUCKS. If you're happy with what you have, stay there. You gain absolutely NOTHING from updating to this.
If you want, I can make you a build.prop that says your running 2.3.15 and it'd be the same thing. You'd never notice.

I had a similar issuing going from the first leak to the second. What I did is simply restored the original market that I had backed up via Titanium backup. I suspect just clearing the cache and resetting defaults will have the same result.

No, I tried everything. Clearing cache/data did nothing. I did a checkin, a *228, and replaced build.props, everything. Only thing i didnt do was restoring a market from Titanium. Glad it worked for you, but I really dont notice a difference or see any need whatsoever to make this "upgrade".
Look at the thread on MyDroidWorld.com about it lol It seems more like a bug reporting thread than a "thanks for the good work" thread.

[Q] To Froyo or not to Froyo... that is the question.

Hello everybody. I've never unlocked, rooted, or done any modding to a phone before... I'm also not much of a unix/linux guy, but have SOME familiarity with it.
OK, so.....
I've been doing some reading around this forum & am still confused about some things, and also have some questions I haven't found answered. I apologize if these have been asked/answered elsewhere, but I have tried searching.
1. Some terms are used in this forum that I am unfamilar with: adw, adm? jig?
2. After flashing to froyo, everyone has the same Android Device ID? So, how do you restore your own ID, I haven't seen this answered anywhere.
3. I've seen people mentioning phone batches... what is this info needed for? Mine is batch 1009 if that matters.
4. OK, so if you screw something up & brick your phone... you can use ODIN w/JF6 to fix this? There is no way to be unable to un-brick your phone, as long as you have ODIN & JF6?
5. I've downloaded the GalaxyS OCR software, but you still need to use another program to flash your ROM file over? Am I understanding this correctly?
6. Where do I get the ROMs for froyo.. and what is the easiest software to use for flashing the rom? I see people mentioning Cognition a lot, but they also mention some others like Axura. Is there a definitive comparison of the various ROMs someplace that I am missing?
Thanks in advance everybody!

1. Some terms are used in this forum that I am unfamilar with: adw, adm? jig?
Adw is a launcher
Not sure on adm
Jig is a device some have put together and used to recover from brick
2. After flashing to froyo, everyone has the same Android Device ID? So, how do you restore your own ID, I haven't seen this answered anywhere.
There is an app on the market android id changer. I believe you need to be rooted. Download app, click save id. When you load a froyo rom some will automatically use the saved id, others may not. In the case that it does not get same app load id, click change. Phone still reboot id will be changed
3. I've seen people mentioning phone batches... what is this info needed for? Mine is batch 1009 if that matters.
You should be fine. I am the same batch
4. OK, so if you screw something up & brick your phone... you can use ODIN w/JF6 to fix this? There is no way to be unable to un-brick your phone, as long as you have ODIN & JF6?
Odin will save you from just about everything. Couple things, only works on pc. Download drivers for the phone prior to flashing anything. Make sure your phone is recognized by the pc. Attempt to get into download mode. Pull battery, sim, external sd. Put battery back in. while holding volume up and down plug in usb while connected to pc. Screen should show orange guy with shovel. If works just pull battery to get out of that screen
Attempt to get into recovery. Volume up and down and per at the same time. When at &t screen comes up, let go of all three. A screen should come up with blue letters
If you can not get into either of these I would not flash
5. I've downloaded the GalaxyS OCR software, but you still need to use another program to flash your ROM file over? Am I understanding this correctly?
Yes
6. Where do I get the ROMs for froyo.. and what is the easiest software to use for flashing the rom? I see people mentioning Cognition a lot, but they also mention some others like Axura. Is there a definitive comparison of the various ROMs someplace that I am missing?
Roms can be found in the captivate development section. There are several froyo roms.
You install roms using free app, rom manager. Download app, open, top option says flash clockwork recovery, click and scroll to captivate. This puts an update zip on your sd card. Power phone off. Get into recovery, three button combo you tested before. Navigate in recovery using volume up and down, select with power. Scroll to reinstall packages. You may get butted back to the same screen, click reinstall packages, will take you to a green recovery screen. Reboot phone.
Find the rom you want and download, can be done directly on phone. Move file to the root If your sd card. Power off remove sim and external sd. Make sure your battery is fully charged. Open rom manager app. Click install rom from sd. Navigate to file, select clear cache and data. If you want to backup your current state there is an option to do so. Click ok, put your phone down, be patient. Couple minutes later you will be booting into your new rom.
Hope this helps
Thanks in advance everybody![/QUOTE]

Personally... I don't know if everyone should be trying to install custom ROM's on their phones.
Alot of people have too many issues figuring out how to root, sideload enable, and then download ROM Manager to install a custom ROM. Then when things go south they don't know how to restore their phone and end up having to warranty it.
Doing any of the above will immediately void your warranty.
But... with all that said I'm running a "stock" Eclair OTA JH7 right now with a few tweaks - and I really can't say I'm missing all the "Froyo goodness" at the moment.
I've rooted and allowed non-market apps with CLShortfuse's One-Click Root program.
Then I downloaded a Lag Fix (RyanZA's OCLF) from the market... and the phone has been screaming along just fine.
And of course.. GPS still doesn't work - but at this point I'm used to it.
No issues with headphone's not working, or terrible battery drain, or the other myriad of issues you will find by installing the latest and greatest. So... rather than start in with the latest popular ROM - I'd just Root and apply a Lagfix and see how it goes from there. If at that point your really comfortable with flashing a ROM - go for it.

OK, so I've dipped my toe in & rooted the phone using TGA_Gunnman's "GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Models"
According to the program, I'm rooted. Phone rebooted into that recovery mode & I chose "Reinstall all packages".
Phone rebooted as it's supposed to. Went into Market, all seems good, but I can't find this OCLF you mention. Searched on RyanZA, OCLF, and also "lag fix" but don't get any results... ??
Also, The AT&T programs are no longer listed under my applications manager, were they uninstalled by default? I still see a couple of AT&T apps when I go to view all applications, but can't find these apps to uninstall in the app manager section.
Thanks!
Bill
OCLF I believe had been taken off the market but I would not suggest using that program for anything other then rooting your f device
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
So it has... whats the deal?
Not sure why it was removed but I only used it as an easy way to root. The lag fix on that app was an ext 2 lag fix that is obsolete. If you are willing to apply a lag fix and want froyo read the cognition, perception, auxura, etc threads in development and decide which one you want.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
If you just want your phone to work, I'd suggest just doing one of the lag fixes and staying as "stock" as possible. There's a one-click root/unroot for the captivate for rooting. The rest is up to you. But, for me having exchange support for work is a must and Froyo works perfectly with my company's exchange set up.
If you're a "tinkering" type of person, then go for some custom stuff! I believe best way to learn is just go do it. Read through the development section for a week or so (post your questions in this section though... devs seem to be a little snippy lately) and have fun. Odin has saved me from bricking my device a few times. Like was said before just make sure you download and test working usb drivers and can that you can access your device from windows.
Good luck!

The market and some games access it. So with leaked froyo, when everyone has the same id it causes issues because there can be like a thousand people with the same id trying to download at the same time.
As far as the games,i never had a problem do I can not say which ones and what the issue was

AT&T applications are system applications and therefore do not show under the default application manager view. If you are still "stock", you would do Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Press Menu button>Filter>All. This will list all the applications on the phone. Be careful what you try and remove if you do this. Remove the wrong system app and your phone will dump. Most system apps won't let you remove them this way, you would have to use ADB or Titanium Backup to remove.
Search and read. Good Luck!
iirc batch 1009 doesnt have download mode.
you should flash the one click that enables the 3 button download mode before you do anything...
then make a jig so that you can recover if anything ever messes up...
then go nuts and flash 10x a day.
Ah thanks for the info, that shows them. So, I havne't done a thing other than root the phone so far. I've been trying to find the 'lag fix', but haven't been able to. I have however found a lot of posting on how the lag fix makes the phone much faster, but also drains the hell out of the battery. Any opinions on that? That's really all i wanted right now, a faster phone & get rid of some AT&T apps. One of them seems to run all the time (I use my wifi a lot), is it safe to kill AT&T Hot Spots, or will I lose wifi connectivity if I do that?

The only lag fixes out there come with custom roms or kernals. Battery life depends on the rom but common sense would dictate if you are driving 100 mile per hr it will take more gas then going 50
I do not think you will have any issues killing at&t hot spots. It is gone from all custom roms so it can not be too important. Do not mess with anything google especially gtalk

Thanks for the info! Well, I've bought the paid version of Titanium Backup & just backed up the phone; and I have Odin w/the correct ROM file, so I may start delving a little deeper into the phone now.
Any suggestions on a ROM for someone that just wants to speed up the phone a bit & lose the ATT bloatware? Don't really care if it's 2.2, I can wait for the official to come out & be ROM'd up by the geniuses here

Thanks for the info! Well, I've bought the paid version of Titanium Backup & just backed up the phone; and I have Odin w/the correct ROM file, so I may start delving a little deeper into the phone now.
Any suggestions on a ROM for someone that just wants to speed up the phone a bit & lose the ATT bloatware? Don't really care if it's 2.2, I can wait for the official to come out & be ROM'd up by the geniuses here

If you do not care about 2.2 a good starter rom would be cognition 2.16. You can get it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786532
Click on get cognition here. It will bring you to a page with a bunch of links. Personally I would use the 2.16 without hsupa. If you never use bluetooth then it does not make a difference. This rom uses the voodoo lagfix. The only downfall is that everyone had moved to 2.2 roms do if you post questions in that thread I am not sure you will get much back.
If you are going 2.2 I would read and try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856877
Perception is also an option but from what I am reading I would not flash the latest update until it gets worked through some.

I am probably not the best to explain this but it is a faster upload and download capability that us not standard on the Captivate. Meaning if you have it, and the data in your area is strong, you should have a faster download/browser experience

Thanks to Decad3nce

Since I do not have enough post's to leave a thanks in the Dev forum. I want to thank Decad3nce for the 1.1 update zip. Worked just like a kernel update. All apps continue to work and root was maintained. I will push a real thanks once I get the post number up.

I can't thank the guy enough. He made it infinitely easier to get the B&N update.
I've been waiting for this update as well as it fixes my Wifi sleep reboot issues. I can now actually listen to Pandora with the screen off. OMG!
Buying this device was like buying my G1. I was happy with the package that I received on purchase day, but as my happiness grew tired, new updates and fixes made it more enjoyable everyday. (There was no BT audio or virtual keyboard in Android 1.0)
sounds like it was a piece of cake to set up as well.
hopefully he sticks around as we need all the help we can get around here
thanks again!!
Same here. Flashed his update over my auto nootered 1.0.1 nook. And everything is exactly how it was. No issues with su root permissions or anything. And like first poster i don't have enough post to say thanks in the dev forum. So ill say it here.
Thank you!!!!!!

Could someone help me with this update? I pretty much understand Decad3nce's instructions, but I don't understand what clockwork is and how to set that part of it up.
I'm Autonootered with 1.0.1 right now and wi-fi is OFF until I figure out what to do.
Thanks!
Worked like a charm on all three nooks in our house! Thank you! such a great community on XDA! Donations coming shortly!

Download ROM Manager from the Market. Launch it and at the top, there will be an option to install Clockwork. From ROM Manager, you can boot into recover (CWM). Cool?

This thread shows how to use clockwork recovery http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...m-manager-nandroid-backup-custom-kernels.html
100% Agree on the Thanks! Updated mine in no time and had no issues at all!! Thanks!!
Now I need to make some posts so I can actually thank the people in Devs!
Wow! Nice. I was worried if it will mess up my auto nootered 1.0.1. I am going to all his update zip via CWR.
And that was my 10th post. Yay!
I haven't seen an answer to this question. Hope it's OK to ask here.
I followed instructions to block the 1.1.0 OTA update by editing the build.prop file, and everything still works right on my auotnootered 1.0.1. Do I need to" unmodify" build.prop before using Decad3nce's pre-rooted 1.1.0 ROM?
Also I saw some weird behavior after installing Rom Manager and Titanium Backup: my NookColor Tools app stopped working, so I uninstalled both, and the tools app worked properly again. Is there a workaround for this?
Thanks in advance. Great forum - i'm getting a lot more enjoyment out of my rooted NC and I have all you experts to thank.

I agree 100% with all of the posts that give this thanks. It worked well for me also.
Am I the only one getting an B&N authorization problem. It gives me a message saying that there has been an authorization problem and must reset. Resets back into 1.01. Happens a few minutes after the reboot into 1.1 ROM.
Good thing I have backups, so that's not a problem. I guess I can wait for a new Auto-nooter. Anyone have ideas?

I had mod'd build.prop on my 1.0.1. autonootered and recently installed Decad3nce's ZIP. Minor problems documented and easily resolved in dev thread. Everything working well.
I never saw your issue with Rom Mgr and Titanium Backup.
Also, big THANKS to decad3nce. Great job!

Thanks for your comment. I completed the process within about 10 minutes this morning, and everything seems to be working perfectly. No problems or hiccups whatsoever.

Problem with ADB
I was doing fine with the autonooter 1.01. Used Decadence's 1.10r2 and now can't install SlideIT and can't ADB into the nook.
I have double-checked that USB debugging is enabled.
I have reinstalled the ROM
I have taken off security, thinking that might have impacted it (didn't help)
I have tried using Astro and ES file managers to copy and paste SlideIT from the \sdcard\downloads to \system\apps\ --that didn't work because \system\apps is read only.
Slide it is in my app drawer, but doesn't show up in my list of available keyboards.
Similar problem with SwiftKey. and KeyPurr. With Slide It, I've tried to install the market trial app, and I've also gone the the developers website and downloaded the 15 day trial which (I believe) is the full app only good for 15 days.
Titanium, superuser, and softkeys are working.
Since I can't access the nook with ADB (btw, I'm using Linux), I'm thinking it's a permissions problem in the ROM.
Any suggestions?
I am also a happy customer. Was running 1.0.1 and installed Decad3nce's 1.1.0 R2 and every thing worked great except Wifi reconnecting after sleep.

Android Market Unstable?

Hello all,
After flashing CyanogenMod the other day, I decided I didn't like it too much. ( Mind you, I just use my phone for basic phone stuff, so please don't flame me for it. xD ) So I used a nandroid to go back to my original (rooted) stuff.
However, in doing this, it seems that it messed up my Market app somehow.
Whenever I try to search, open, or do anything involving the Market App, it'll say: Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
It's been like this for a while now. I can use internet, voice-to-text, and anything else that requires data ( not even WiFi works with Market ), but not Market.
What can I do to fix this?
Full wipe. Fresh install of rom+gapps.
Yea its Me Again With The
Modified Hero
@laie - he said he nanded back to rooted stock
@OP - try the nand restore again? Otherwise you could try adb shell fix_permissions?

It tells me that "fix_permissions: not found"
Edit: I've got it fixing now, will edit with update.
Edit(2): It didn't help, sadly.
I don't even remember, but does rooted stock 1.5 allow you to install non-market apps? If so, go find a market 2.3.6 apk on xda or google. Delete the one you have, boot into recovery wipe cache and then reboot, install the app - see if that'll work.
Nope, that didn't work sadly... Ironically, my Market worked perfectly without the updates installed. Is it possible just to block all updates for the Market apk?
this might work for you. a friend was having similar problem. this is what i did (note, i really really think that it was pure coincidence but...) go to SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS -> MANAGE APPS. locate Market, if Force Stop is not greyed out. then click it, then click Clear Data.
like i said, his was having the same problem, i really think that it may have been a coincidence, but maybe not.

Yes, you need to delete the system app "marketupdater.apk". Also, if you go into settings/manage apps/all/market - can you click the button "uninstall updates"? If not, do you know what market version you had that worked? If so try to find and install that one using the same steps as I mentioned before. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.
Also what ngholson just posted is a good idea along with clear cache from the same menu.
I hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Yea and??? He can still start fresh. He posted he did a nand back to his rooted stuff. Which means he can srart fresh. As in wipe data,cache dev-cache and sd-ext. Boot up and then reboot back into recovery reflash gapps. Boot up. Load tb go into settings, manage apps locate market force stop and clear data. Open tb up locate market updater apk. Uninstall. Reboot should be good.

The problem version is 2002306, oddly enough, I've overheard some other people having problems with it as well at a place a friend works. Maybe it's a stock hero thing. I'll revert to an older version, maybe one day this will clear itself out.
Thank you everyone for participating in helping me. At least it was a good effort.

Laie I was just telling you, don't get all frisky. If you read the OP again, you'll see he WANTS to be on stock 1.5. I couldn't tell you why lol. Maybe you forgot (it's been forever) but stock and sense based ROMs already contain gapps. You only flash those on AOSP based ROMs, so he can't reflash gapps. If he wiped and then nand restored it would've restored /system which is where the market would live in a stock ROM. His issue was likely a market auto-update which did not agree with old ass donut stock. Who knows. I wasn't bashing you, and I'm not now, calm down. Hopefully this info helps you help someone later. Peace.
OP- I have ONE MORE idea. Go grab a themed market zip from xda member "pendo" - he has green, blue, and red. They should flash from recovery. Delete your current market app FIRST, and clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery, flash and reboot. Good luck.
EDIT: 2 ideas I guess, copy the nand backup to your computer, find the "marketupdater.apk" in /system/app and delete it out of the nand. Copy that new nand to the same place as the current one you have and try to wipe all then restore that newish one.... I actally have NO idea if you can alter a nand or the system.img it contains, but it may be worth a shot. You could also just give up, and get gingerbread, because it's AWESOME.

LOL agreed.
@OP - You could also try one of the *ahm* market replacements. like *ahm* applanet or something (not sure how 'legal' they are but...)
also, i know someone mentioned it before but did you ever get your permissions fixed? if not try that too, you can do it from ROM Manager.

Duce were in the op does he say he's looking to get back to 1.5??? Humm think you might be reading to much " lol " eyes playing tricks on you??? He said he restored his rooted stuff. Not restored 1.5. And nope I remember 1.5 and I'm aware of the gapps only flash with aosp. I posted my comment because he didn't say 1.5 so I took a guess as he was not on 1.5 because he didn't mention it. So mabey this will help you help someone in the future slow it down when ya read. Because you know what happens when you assume. "" Read slow "" duce read slow lol

Pendo's themed market wouldn't flash, sadly. And it's a shame too, because they look really great.
@ngholson
I looked into that, but it's permissions are a bit much.
@laie1472
I'm really sorry, you're right, I forgot to mention what I'm using.
It's:
Firmware: 2.1-update1

Again, I'm sorry for not mentioning that.
I redid everything on it, the only thing I haven't touched is the radio file.
When I tried CyanogenMod 6 at the start of this thread, it had me flash 2.42.01.04.27. Could that be the problem?
And I'm terribly sorry for the delay in replying. Other issues are stealing my time.
Ok let's start from scratch. What rom,recovery, kernel & mods are you using?? Also whats your prl, and are you s-off???

That's about it. I think it's all worked flawlessly until the radio, but I'm not sure. If I'm missing any info, please let me know.
maybe consider starting completely over. download a new rom, i recommend aospcmod. download the latest version of gapps at the same time. if you don't already have it install ROMManager from errr. damnit your market doesn't work... hopefully you already have it. Open rom manager and install a custom recovery (i recommend clockworkmod) once that is done copy both the new rom and gapps zips to your sdcard, reboot to recovery (either manually or using rommanager) wipe everything. then select 'choose zip from sdcard' (or similar, can't remember exact verbiage) and install your ROM, then before you let it reboot, then use the same option and install gapps as well, then reboot. follow setup and it should work fine.
