You need to flash to ER27 Google add on pack here:

Current link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/jmmzywtlnjd/gapps-passion-ERE27-2-signed.zip

thanks...How do i flash it?

I would like to know also. I've gone into recovery and added the file to the SD card than tried to run it, only to tell it me it's not a zip. So I renamed it and also tried compressing it as zip(just to make sure) and I get an error.
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted

Download the add on from that page listed, place it on the root of your sdcard, reboot into recovery, flash it in recovery (the same way you flashed the ROM, but do not wipe), then reboot your phone.

That is exactly what I did. I sent a pm w/ more details. I tried covering all grounds just to make sure if one failed the other one would'nt.
Edit: Should USB debugging be on/off? Don't know if that makes a difference
Edit: Figured it out. Everytime i would downlad the file on my mac it would not be a .zip file so renaming it and compressing it did nothing. I downloaded it on my pc and voila, it works fine..weird...

This is because you enable auto open files in Safari. The actual zip file is in your Trash lol.
To disable it (and u should), open Preferences > General > Uncheck Open "safe" file after downloading

How to install the Google Addon?
You have to change the name of the file (ex: "gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip") to "update.zip". Move it to your SDcard and then install from recovery.

You don't need to be in "Debuggin mode", neither to rename to "update.zip".. Just use ROM manager provided by cyanogenmod and go wiki :

Hello Dacid1171,
I installed Cyanogenmod 7.0.0, with no google apps of course.
I used gapps-gb-20110307-signed pack, went to recovery and chose "Install from SD card", just like I would if I was flashing new ROM.
After that the phone wouldn't book. Logo of cyanogenmod would appear with the circular arrow moving around it, after 3 round it stops and restarts all over.
It was kept that way for a very long time hoping that the phone will come to life. It wouldn't.
What did I do wrong?

Try flashing it again but this time clear cache and dalvik cache.
Flash cm7 rom again follow by the gapps than reboot.

[Q] What does "apply sdcard:update.zip" do?

If I am in recovery mode, what will "apply sdcard:update.zip" actually do if selected, will I lose any data?

It runs the update.zip file found in /sdcard/ Its so you can update things like roms/kernels/whatever that can't be updated while system is running. You don't really need to use it unless you mod/root your phone

Thanks ickyboo I downloaded AudioBooster 2 and it prompts me to do that, just needed to know the implications or in this case there aren't any
Oooohhhh, my 100th Post...

does this mean this was made so that we can root?
why would they do that?

Short term,it's your cwm recovery
It has nothing to do with your root,but it need root to run

Apparently I don't have an "update.zip" file on my sdcard. Would it be beneficial to find one and update? I'm running CM10 stable and have re-flashed it a few time over the last month and a half for various reasons.

All apply update.zip means that it will flash the file called update.zip from your SD card. This is opposed to manually finding the file and flashing it. All you have to do is rename the file to update.zip.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

The update.zip is not one specific file, it's a file created by various programs or yourself to make it easier to update something in cwm...
Basically, if for example your OS wants to update, it offers to download the update ROM and then rename it update.zip, so you then can just select that option in cwm without looking for the file hidden in some weird unknown folder.
If a program like this Audio whatever thing asks you to update with update.zip, it's likely that it has packaged an update for you that'll benefit or be needed for that program or some of its features.
Be aware that since many apps use this exact same feature to update or add stuff, you have to do it (reboot into cwm and apply) on a one-per-app basis; two apps won't merge their files into one.
Hope that helped

Don't appologize for asking questions-we all need answers to one thing or another
The first thing you want to do is go to the android market and search for Rom Manager. You already have this installed if you are running CM7, but you need to update it to the newest version.
Then, Just open your app drawer and open up Rom Manager. When it opens, the very top line says "Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery". Tap on that, choose Nook Color, and it will update to the newest version 3.2.0.1.
Hope this Helps!

What's the best way to update recovery on sdcard? Mod manager only updates the internal flash..

I downloaded an updated version located HERE and extracted the files and attached them for you. Just download and unzip the files to your current CWM SD card.

Ok, thanks! So you can indeed copy the files as-is.. with Paleolithic dos 3.2 origin, I tend to expect you need to use special app to copy the system files. In any case, I've installed the boot menu on SD card so by defaults I boot internal flash. No need to lose sanity removing the easy-to-lose usd card.. I can also start the recovery from internal flash..

Yes, I have updated a couple times by just transferring the updated files onto my bootable CWM card. I have done a number of back-ups and restores without a problem. The files are self-contained file systems, so not much damage from a simple transferring of them. If you want to install a special app for windows to be able to update the SD card in the future, then I would download this very handy tool, ImDisk, it will allow windows to mount the updated img file and extract the files from it.

[Q] Make an image from a rom

Hello all,
I'm wondering if there's any way of make an image from my phone, with all the softwares and data already installed and configured (just like Macrium Reflect do on Windows). Just like a backup, so if I have any kind of problem, I just have to flash my .zip into the phone again.
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried ClockworkModRecovery?

Fruit cake maker is a better solution for your question. Plus if you name the .zip it creates pg58img.zip and place it on your SD card root. Then you don't even need cwm.

just make a backup through CWM menu, it will backup EVERYTHING on your phone and save to clockworkmod/backup/..... in your sdcard. The backup included few .tar files instead of a single .zip, but the result is the same --- you can restore it (overwrite everything) to your phone at anytime.

When you backup with the recovery menu(power+volume button simultaneously pressed until u see the android picture), you will find this backup files either in the EXT SD card or the Internal SD depending the CWM version, in the clockworkmod/backup. All you have to do is to get into recovery mode and restore.....it works perfectly

It worked!
That was just what I needed!
Many thanks for your help guys....

that's why it won't work, you can't install it as a normal app, it needs to be a system app. anyways, here you go. needs to be flashed in twrp recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/viper4android-t2952137

you can use any root file explorer to stick the apk into /system/priv-app/, then reboot and it'll install itself.

then you have partial root. its a normal issue, that happens often enough. to be 100% sure, you can try editing tour build.prop file. if the edits stay after a reboot then you have full root. if they don't stay after a reboot, then you have partial root. which is why viper isn't working. it can also be that your system is full. you can delete whichever apps you don't use from /system/app/, which will give you space. you did say you flashed it but it never appeared. if its full, it can't appear.

i know, google did it on purpose. to fix that delete whichever system apps you dont use. and storage has nothing to do with system space. system space iz held in a seperate partition.
