Problem installing CM7 google Apps Update.zip

Hi guys , I installed CM7 Rom (from 2.1 JFD) through Rom Manager, it works good, i put update.zip on card, but ddnt put google apps .zip file.
CM7 installed correctly. when i tried to put googleAppsUpdate.zip on card (and removed th CM7Update.zip ) and restarted in recovery from rom manager , i got An Exclamation White triangle Above and Android Man Symbol. and no progress !!!
wht is wrong ?? and how can i Install google Apps update ??
I'm kind of confused here bud, but update.zip is clockwork mod not cm7. By putting the update.zip and applying it via recovery, that would have installed clockwork recovery, and from there you would have needed to install the cm7 zip via recovery to flash cm7. The Google apps zip can be downloaded through your ron manager or via cm7 server, then it needs to he flashed the same way via clockwork recovery (install zip from sdcard).

Here comes the fire!!! :-D simple beginner mistake lol

google apps....are apps!
you can extract all the apps from the zip, and push them to system/app.
if you cant do that, try mounting system in recovery before you flash....if this was the hd2 forum, you will be hot Cheetos right now...flamed! lol

seems easy , but how exactly is system/apps ??
when i decompress the .zip i found 2 folders:
-META-INF
-system
each of , contains another files and folders , can you tell exactly where to put in details ?
thx
This belongs in the Q&A, NOT in the Vibrant Android Development

First fo all, this is in the wrong forum.
Second of all, I really believe you are probably trying to flash a version of gapps that is not correct for your device.
But either way...
The two compressed folders are
-META-INF
-system
decompress the system folder..maybe put it on your desktop or something. Inside the system folder is a series of different folders. Look for the one that is named "Apps" take that folder and place it on the root of your SDcard. Now, go back onto your phone and use Root explorer to manually move each of the apks from that app folder that you would like...and move them to system>apps. fix the permissions on the apk once you move it so that it has the same permissions as every other apk already in the folder and once you are done moving whichever apps you'd like on your phone and fixing the permissions, reboot your phone.

[Q] Can i use "Root Explorer" instead "Flash via CWM"

Flashing new ROM use CWM!
But some update (~ 3-4MB), can i use Root Explorer to copy and replace old file (in "app", "system => lib",...)?
Hate flash must wipe all!
Is replace file is safer than flash ? (flash not wipe cause bootlop)!

Yeah you can do it via root explorer but, why u told flash cause bootloop?? if u flash a Rom u MUST wipe data.. but if it's only a patch (like beats audio) you don't
What do the root explorer show is ROM or internal memory?

No need to wipe always.. if the update is small, just flash it without wipe. You can also wipe cache if needed.

Rom: system rom like folders system, bin etc..
Internal: your apps data that are stored in internal memory of phone

suppose you are copying some files and there are some critical file being replaced and while copying mobile restart and copying was not done then there are chance of bootloop
in some update packages permission commands are written which cannot be done by just copying (an example of this is while updating su binary with superuser app it shows the progress, in somewhere there it is written that changing permission of file, and if you do not do this and just copy the su binary to /system/xbin you will loose your root access
odexed app cannot be installed just by copying they need to be flashed
so flashing is better than copying
always use cwm that is safer than copyng and replacing files or folders

[Q] How to install themes?

My Galaxy Note is running Classic Rom V6 ICS and I just downloaded a .zip theme pack. How do I go about?
Usually you run the pack and it installs, if it's third party, you need to extract and place into the system file.

I tried exploring the zip file and for every type of theme, there is an app folder and a framework folder filled with .apks. Does that mean I can run
the apks in any order for a chosen theme?
No. usually there are 2 folders
apps = you hve to place these apks in system/apps folder a d change permission to rw-r--r--
framework = place the *-res.apk in system/framework folder and change permission as above.
but. make sure if you replace any file, you keep a backup of that so that it something does not work, you can revert back

Can you also create a flashable zip for the new 4.2.2 ROM? Is it possible to pre-root it?

Is 4.2.2 update out? Anyway I just need the ftf.
I did not post a Rom it's just a update.zip
If you already have root for 4.2.2 you can just add superuser.apk in system/app and it will be pre-rooted

Yes, the Nordic version it out. You can download the FTF here. If we flash it with FlashTool, root will be gone and we cannot use DoomLord's rooting tool for it since the exploit is fixed in JB.

I provide only system/app and system/framework, which in your request is 4.2.2, but the rest of the OS will be 4.1.2 , so the phone is going to reject it.
But if you have an unlocked boot loader then obviously what you requested might be possible. You can do it yourself if you have ROM Kitchen.
Again i'm just a noobie with some enthusiasm i might be totally wrong.

There is no 'XZR Deodex.zip.000'
Download and install XZR Deodex.zip.001 & 2 , they work fine.
I've used them myself.
Please explain how to install no executable file?
All OK, just your zips only suitable for 7zip archiver.
Hello,
I would like to get some more information on how to make such "debloated" roms. I noticed the hint at "rom kitchen" but i still don't know how to do it and which kitchen to use.
Could you please provide a link to the kitchen and a tutorial?
Thank you
