[Q] Adding gapps to Droid 1 with CM6

I finally made the jump and rooted my Droid 1 today and installed CM6. I had issues with Rom Manger giving me an error when trying to download CM6 with Google Apps, so I downloaded the ROM from the web and installed it manually. Works like a charm.
I tried to go back to ROM Manager and just install Google Apps, but it keeps giving me an error during downloading.
I still need the Google Apps installed... I have downloaded the zip and moved it to my SD card, but can't figure out how to flash it. (been searching the past hour for an answer) I have gone to recovery mode but it looks like that is only to update ROMs (update.zip) am I missing something easy here?
Thanks

It depends on what Recovery image you are using. For some reason ROM Manager gets a bad CRC or other error when downloading the GApps addon update zip. Don't know why. However if you get the latest file directly from the CyanogenMod site (hardware appropriate of course) you can install it from the recovery screen.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 and it allows you to specify a .zip of any name and directory on the SD-card (you have to mount it first). I'm not sure if normal SPRecovery allows for that. Make no mistake, installing the GApps is basically a ROM update, as it installs them to the System apps folder (which is essentially read only).
One thing to note once you get it installed. Sometimes you get issues with updating the ROM's apps (including GApps). This was notoriously noticed with the new Car Home and the new YouTube apps. In order to fix it, you have to use RootExplorer, TitaniumBackup or another SuperUser enabled browser or app manager to forcefully remove the system app, then get the updated app from the Market.
I hope that helps.

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.0.1 but didn't see a menu item for installing zip files. I ended up renaming the Gapps file to Update.zip and flashed it in recovery mode. Worked like a charm.
Thanks

Do any of you have this error itself?
I'd like to see if I could make sense of it. Back when I installed Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 on my new phone, about 2 weeks ago, I was able to install it with GApps with no problem.

After flashing it go to accounts and sync in adding your google accout after that ,market will be available on your drawer..
Sent from my GT-S5570 using xda premium

first thing after u flash the rom from cwm immediatedly flash the gapps
after that when the phone reboots u will be asked to sign in your google account
sign in and u are done

gapps
You can find gapps there in forum, download it on SD card, then in Odin, u must have lastest version 4.38, , download clock-word-mode, and flash it, in CWM install zip file from SD card, install gapps, Cache wipe data, cahce partition, and reboot phone, u r done

so you need to flash and then add a new google phone to work fully, eg calendar, etc.

you need to flash your ROM and GAPPS at the same time
If i helped you be sure to click
that THANKS button

it is not necessary to flash both package at the same time just do this extract the gapps package select all the apk files and copy them to /system/app folder they will get installed
to copy them download es file explorer
go to setting in es file explorer app and select both root option
give it root access and mount system rewritable(2nd option)

You need to mount /system and /data in CWM recovery before they actually work. Find the complete tutorial http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com

Install CWM without market/recovery mode/file explorer?

So I installed AOKP today coming from darkys ROM 10.2. First of all I wiped/factory reset, wiped cache/dav cache then installed from recovery with the .zip.
Installed ROM all works fine but now I don't have a recovery console. This is a PITA as I can't flash Gapps, I was originally going to get the CWM app APK and install it but I have no file explorer to install the app off my SD card. Without recovery I can't backup stuff, install Gapps or put another ROM on there.
As you can see I'm a little stuck. Help?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed. I had to get around the android.process.media FCs and then I just downloaded and installed the APK using the browser.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10.2 Problem.

Hey guys,
I'm very sorry if i posted this in the wrong area and please tell me if i need to post this in another area..
Here's the problem:
I just updated my ace to cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3), and the google play store is gone. normally that would be fine and i would just download an apk for that on the internet. The problem is that my sd card isn't recognized anymore. Any way to make it recognized again?
Thanks in advance,
P.S.
I backed up everything but my backup program is gone too, anyway to fix that

Don't worry I also panicked when i installed CM 10.2 but there is no real problem.
Download gapps from Cyanogenmod 10.2 thread.
Put it in your internal sd.
Reboot the phone in recovery,
CWM recovery will show up.
Select install update.
Navigate where you have put the gapps.zip.
Install it.
Select reboot.
Google play will be there.
Now for browsing your SD
Open cyanogenmod built in file explorer.
Go to settings - General Settings - Access Mode and give root access(always).
Your SD wil be accessible now.

When i select install update it says there's no such file, and i've installed the gapps zip via install zip from sd card again, but google play is not there..
So could you give me the rom you installed and your version of gapps? ill try it with those.
