How to create our own Gapps.zip - Motorola Atrix HD

Hii guyz,
I see the gapps are given with the roms...
But i have my own apps and want them to backup and flash on the new rom i install.
How can i make a gapps.zip of em?

Well it wouldn't be a g apps zip. That's goggles app. But with titanium backup you can create an update zip that will do just that.

I hate to sound like a smart ass, but it still would be a GApps bundle. For instance, the current GApps that's available is from March 1, 2013. Google has updated many of their own apps since then. If I wanted to flash, say the latest CM10.1 Mod, I'd had to flash the GApps available from goo.im, then update them all.
It would be much easier for me to take the already updated apps, zip them up, then when I flash a new ROM, I could flash those updated apps. The problem is, I don't know which apps to get. The store/marketplace app isn't called store nor market place. The Maps app I'm pretty sure is called NetworkLocation. So, it's not as simple as you make it sound.
I guess the real question is, what apps are in GApps, and how can I replace them with the updated versions?

DL the latest gapps.
Review what's in it.
Update all of those apps.
Place all necessary files in folder
ZIP IT and label to your liking.
This is of course coming from someone that's never done it. Someone with real knowledge, please chime in!

Well If you read my post you'd see I said you could make an update zip which is what it would be called. Not a gapps zip because it wouldn't be just gapps.
Besides the fact that this post is almost 4 months old..

I hope am not duplicating posts ... is there any way one can revert to the old build? The new one 0.4.1.26 is really buggy. Thanks

Are you rooted? If not, then the version of GV which came with your stock ROM is definitely still there. Go to Market and find Google Voice, and it should give you the option to uninstall updates. If you're rooted it may still be there too depending on how you have or haven't modified the phone.
If there is a specific build you want that is newer than the one on your ROM, you may have to hunt for it.
I am rooted. Had disabled the auto update. Flashed with CM 6 and installed froyo apps with it and had the option to uninstall updates. Restored a certain back up from sdcard and that somehow made it pull the update. Now that uninstall updates option is now gone. Will hunt. Thanks.

If you know the release date of the current version, maybe you can try to find a Gapps zip from shortly before that date. Open it up and grab the .apk you want, and replace the one in the system apps directory.

There should be plenty on google. Search 4.0.12

accidentally uninstalled the market

Hi guys,
I have a rooted nook color, and I accidentally uninstalled the android market using Titanium. I was trying to install Adobe Flash, but I was getting a message that Flash is not compatible with my device, so I read in a forum to uninstall the market and downgrade the market app to the previous version.
Well, after uninstalling it, and downloading the apk for the older market version, it force closes when I go to open it. Does anyone have a link to a market apk that will work?
Sorry, I'm new to this

How exactly do I reflash the google apps?
check around for the google apps zip file. there are a few floating around. i will see if I can find one and post a link. but, once u have the zip file, put it on your sd card and boot to recovery, then install the zip file via recovery.

Hi, I'm new here, so please have mercy. This exact same thing happened to me. I went to the site below and since I flashed MN 4-5-18 and 4-6-16, I though I should download, at the site linked to above, the CyanogenMod 4 google apps. Is this correct?

I think you'll always want the CyanogenMod 7 gapps. I believe the CM version #s correspond to the Android version... Honeycomb is CM8, ICS will be CM9, etc.

[Q] AOKP and CM clarifying questions

Hey, guys. I'm relatively new to the custom ROM scene, I've been using MavROM for a bit, and it was pretty sweet. But recently it's started crashing in some larger applications (plants vs zombies for example. but that's neither here nor there).
I suppose first I should clarify that I have a Verizon Droid 3 XT862 with Hashcode's Safestrap 3.10 installed. (which is really cool!)
I did some googling, and many suggest that I give AOKP a try. I downloaded KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, KEXEC-cm-10-20121103-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip, and KEXEC-cm-9-20121108-UNOFFICIAL-solana.zip. But here's the thing that confuses me, I've tried all three of them, and they all seem to run fine, but they all seem exactly the same. I was under the impression that these custom ROMs contain no added bloat or unnecessary apps, but all three come with an NFL app, and Blockbuster app, and a few others I can't seem to remove. And in the case of KEXEC-JB-aokp_solana_unofficial_Nov-04-12.zip, does the JB in the filename mean that it's meant for JellyBean compatible phones, or will it upgrade my phone to JellyBean? My phone still says it's running android version 2.3.4, and looks exactly the same as the stock GB OS it came with out of the box. So what's so JellyBean about it?
Am I missing something? Also, what's the difference between the versions I've tried? They all seem exactly the same in terms of cosmetics and functionality, but at the same time aren't bringing anything to the table that my old stock ROM didn't do.
Sounds like ur still booting into stock rom. You have to change rom slots in safestrap.

You're right! Thanks! That didn't occur to me, I had initially tried installing it using safestrap 2.10, but I guess I needed 3.05.
Another question, I now have AOKP installed in my second slot, and it boots fine. But I'm not able to access the play store, and I only see options to setup my Mail and Exchange accounts, but neither of them will let me hit Next to progress to the next step after inputting my password. I'd like to add my Google, Facebook, and Exchange accounts to get all my contacts back, but those don't appear to be options. I chose the Nova Launcher if that makes any difference. Was there a separate app package I was supposed to install with AOKP? I read that the CM series requires a separate package. Is AOKP like that?

Is 3.10 a typo? I could be wrong but i think that the latest is 3.05, Hopefully you havent installed an apocolypse progger.

[Q] What am I supposed to have with a fresh install of CM9 nightly w/4-29-12 Gapps?

I installed the latest nightly from last night (CM9 12-12-12), the Gapps package from 4-29-12, and the Gapps fixer. I have things like Play store, GTalk, and Voice Dialer, bot no GMail, Maps, Youtube, etc. Am I supposed to have those too? I keep searching and it's not easy to find a list that I know specifically pertains to the TouchPad's CM9 implementation.
You have to get them from the market

But download what, exactly? I'm only thinking of those off the top of my head but I know that there are a lot more. The problem is, I need a list if I'm going to do that as a work-around and so that's partially what I'm asking for (that or help getting the Gapps package to install completely). The Gapps fix does nothing no matter what I wipe or what order I flash.
I checked with my brother and he did not download those from the market/Play store on his touchpad. Neither did I, and I was the one who put Goo manager on it. I'm trying to set this up for a coworker with all the apps as if it were the first time ever turned on and I don't want my account loaded on it.
I already knew I could download individual apps from the market. Thanks for your help though.

Those apps aren't included in the ics gapps. If you open up the zip file and look in the /system/app folder you'll see what apks are included in the gapps package.

i have cm9 (latest nightlys) and cm10 (latest nightlys) .. IIRC they both are 1212 builds..
for cm9 i had to install 0429 gapps..
for cm10 i used the JB gapps but i dont exactly remr the build date or name..
good probabilities that it was 4.1
im pretty sure that both roms require separate installs of gapps..because no gapps are built in

I dont get what you are looking for. If you have the Play store and were able to sign into your account then you have everything the Gapps offer. Gapps are mainly Google services that let you sign into your Gmail account, sync your Gmail account, Use the Play store, etc. There are some apps within the Gapps file which are system apps but like others have said, everything else you mentioned is in the play store. Gapps don't include those apps.

[Q] Problems with cyanogenmod update

I updated my nook hd+ from cm-10.1.3 to cm-10.2-20131125-NIGHTLY. Now, the Google Play Store doesn't work (says that it doesn't have a connection when it does), and Gmail also doesn't work (crashes when opened). I first tried to update to a newer nightly version to fix it, but that didn't work (always says it can't find the file), then, I tried to revert back to my previous cyanogenmod version, but that didn't work either. It always asks "install untrusted zip file"? But, whether I say yes or no, it doesn't work. So, any easy fixes for this?

No i didn't do that, I didn't know you had to when updating it directly from the about tablet tab. Could you tell me where to download it please.
Thanks,

Yes, you still need to upgrade your Gapps even if you're updating via Settings; since you're using a custom ROM. You don't have to flash gapps if it's stock ROM, since the manufacturer bundles the latest gapps with it. CyanogenMod doesn't bundle gapps; as some may not desire it.
You can download Gapps from here: http://goo.im/gapps
All the best.
