Guys,
anyone had luck with installing Gapps? I can get all of the necessary files in their places, but I get the "problems parsing image" error. I am able to modify protected content mounting R/W on root explorer paid version.
I am thinking I need the correct version of Gapps. Can one of the XDA geniuses please help me out.
Thanks,
Rob

Supposedly the CM4.x gapps would work, but I haven't given it a look yet. Also I vaguely remember someone else posting about how the google stuff isn't 100% working due to some connection issues.
We are attempting to get Market to work and am having connection issues. Here is the thread.
Android Market Support (Vending.apk)
I found a link to applanet which is great for market, I just need a calendar that can sync.

Sorry for being a noob, i have the g1 dream sim free, it has 1.5 on it it has no market app. and when i hard reset it does not ask me to register but comes straight to home screen with clock
base - 62.41s.20.13u_2.22.16.17
kernel - 2.6.27.00205-gf2dabco [email protected] #15
build - 125040
how can i update this device please help.
I think if you know your kernel etc. you have root rights, am I right?
If yes, just flash the google apps. You find the link in the cyanogen 5.0.7 thread.
If not, I don´t know what you can do
not sure what right i have, m looking for the goole apps .. but is there a market app which can be installed, thanks for your reply by the way. though i was lost for a bit

I'm confused...so did you fix it?
gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed
search for that ^
nope have not fixed it yet. seems like its a original dev phone but it came boxed brand new. in the mean time, the data sync does not open
and
system update gives the error - com.setting error or something like that..
im looking into gapps-ds-ERE36B-signed.zip, thanks for all your help..
You can get Gapps from here:

However Gapps is not an .apk file. You need to flash Gapps with the help of a recovery ROM & for that you need to have Android SDK installed. If all this is latin and greek to you; you should visit here

I would also suggest you to go through ROM Bible sticky in this section.
Alternatively you can unzip gapps file and look for marketUpdater.apk in system>app folder and install it manually. I have not tried this method ever but you can give it a shot; it will not brick your phone.
Thanks for the answer guys, i think i have a dev phone had a look at the rom bible so i can root i . but i dont know what rc versoin the device is cos this does not exist in the build number as in post one. also can you recommend a stable rom update for a beginner.
at amitabhishek the first link you have posted does not work, also is there a way to root a dev phone, or is it already unlocked dont want to try a rom and brick the phone.
Moved as not Android Development.
Does anyone know where I can get the stock Android 2.2 Calendar?
*bump*
Does anyone know where to find an up to date apk file of the stock Android calendar (not the TouchWizCalendar)?
Is there still no better solution than the detour around CyanogenMod?
It's in the App Market.

Thank you for the info, but in my post I asked for the apk, a file which can be downloaded on the PC.
I believe this is it.
Calendar.apk
Here is CalendarProvider.apk just in case you need it.
Ian
Thanks again, this is exactly what I need at the moment.
A link to mediafire or any other filehoster is a good solution for the current release. In order to spare you from being bothered again in the future by me or anyone else with the same request I would like to know if there is a "direct source" which always has an up to date version?
I just did a search on Google, downloaded and uploaded it to Mediafire.
Google is the easiest way to get almost any file you need.
Also, most cooked ROMs come with an app folder with all current apps for the OS release.

I did that too, but I did not find any source apart from the cooked ROMs and some filehoster links which did not seem to be very up to date or "official".
Don't keep me in suspense which non-ROM Website did you use as source for the mediafire download link you provided?

I already mentionened, that I want to know if there is a better/more direct solution than following some outdated links posted by users in forums or always checking if an app is included in some mod.
I often come across free apps which can only be downloaded in the market. I already got the market running on the Android emulator (which requires some modifications described in several tutorials). But the market on the emulator does only show a limited number of apps compared to the market on a real mobile phone.
So the motivation of my request is also learning if there is a better solution than the previously mentioned workarounds.

Not that I know. I use the search on this forum and Google.
I found the calendar.apk file here.
Google led me there.
I download some of the new cooked ROMs and look at the files included with them. Sometimes there are newer versions of files. This is not quick or easy, but it's what I do.
Ian
I don't know anything about phones so please bear with me.
I just had to wipe my phone and put a new rom on it. But the market app isn't there and I can't find where to download the app on the forums here. I tried doing searches for it and still can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
What rom are you using??? And you might want to do a search for something called Google apps or gapps or gapps/midi. Usually were ever you found your rom it will be a link somewere on that thread for the google add on. Which give you the google market,gmal,car home and a few others depending on which one you decided to use. Once you aquire the zip file just boot into recovery and flash them. Good luck.
Yea its me again with the
Modified Hero--
I'm using purple glass on my phone. I guess it's a froyo rom.
I checked the thread and there was a link for the gapps. Thank you for telling me that. I would never of thought of looking there.
No problem. If you need anything else let me know, and if I can help I will. Good luck.
Yea its me again with the
Modified Hero--
Thank you, I will remember that.
Greetings to everyone. I haven't spent much time here lately but last month I've got myself a I9000, so I will keep it short.
Is there a possibility to find .apk for the new Samsung Task Manager version 1.6, and will it work on the froyo firmware XWJPA.
Thanks in advance for any answeres.
P.S. I've searched the forums but couldn't find the answer.

No idea if it will work on JPA but I just took the app and widget from my JVB so try it if you want, if it works post so others will know ok.
Feel free to hit the thanks button
Thanked
Downloading app. It seems that I need to deodex my rom to try this. Doing it now. Someone should try this also.
EDIT: Tried all but failed with the message: Problem parsing file.
Any solutions perhaps?

Don't think you needed to deodex as it came from official stock JVB ROM, did you just install it like a regular apk?
Use Root Explorer and go to /system/app/ mount it as R/W and move (not copy) the apk's there.
Let me know if that sorts the problem, it's how I've got apps from SGS 2 to run on mine.
Ha! This is just not going to work. Tried simple copying/moving to system/app/ and no luck. If anyone finds a way he can post it here.
Thanks for your help DMD9. A greatly appreciate it.

What did you move them with? If you just used the built in file manager then it won't work, you need to use Root Explorer with the folder mounted as R/W.
Happy to help, but would be happier if you actually get it working
Yes, I used root explorer and mounted the file system. I know that much There is no chance. If you have some other idea I am willing to try it, if not, I'll wait for the official app if it comes out.

Nook Color with CM7 Gingerbread running from SD chip.
I wanted to download some recommended utilities from Marketplace.
I get to the screen for the app in Market using the Dolphin browser and see the button to install. I press the button. Then get an error message that says something like this:
" No Android phone linked to this account. Login using another ID"
The app window only gives me the option to cancel or click OK. So I cannot download the app. I'm frustrated.
I admit I'm a newbie to this and I haven't searched through every thread. Just point me in the right direction and I'll be appreciative.
Thanks!
What stops you from using the market that gapps provided?
Sent from my PG06100 using xda premium
gapps ?
I'm afraid I don't know what gapps is. If it will work, then I'm certainly willing to try it. Could you provide me with just a bit of info on this, please?

What CM7 installation guide did you follow that did not mention gaaps? I have yet to see one.
