Please download it from nook.linuxhacker.ru
and put on first partition of this SD card
the name should start with updatei-cm and end with .zip
Then the cursor just sits. No installation of the .zip file. Do I have to have the original cm zip file on the sd card with the gapp zip file? I thought it was posted that doesn't work.

Would this work with an Android 3.0 Honeycomb Preview build, instead of a CM7 build ?
Seeing the same. Also tried naming the gapps file "update.zip", to no avail.
Actually sign-in does work for me, since wifi is setup and working.13. Skip everything until you get the normal home screen. None of the sign-in will work because it is looking for a phone signal.
Supposedly nothing. I routinely boot into eclair and then insert CM7 sdcard and it's fine.
I can't distribute gapps, like I said
Well, until I figure out why recovery boot does not work what you can try to do is this:
after initial install was successful (and you setup your wireless), power off the nook, get the sd card.
Download gapps-gb-...zip and put it on the first partition.
move the uImage file to uImage.bak and uRamdisk to uRamdisk.bak.
Copy uRecImage to uImage and uRecRam to uRamdisk.
boot with the resulting image. It should say that it found the gapps archive and unpack it.
After it flushes caches and reboots, power off, put the sd card back into the computer
move uImage.bak to uImage and uRamdisk.bak to uRamdisk
boot off the card again, hopefully the gapps are working after that.
Please let me know if any problems arise.
Hey Verygreen,
I followed your install steps using a 2gb card and a 16gb card. The 2gb card works fine. However on the 16gb card it only boots up to the ANDROID_ prompt. Do you know why it it would not boot properly on the 16gb card?

Is there any way to get your installer into an existing CM7 SD card (such as one from your original BT test) ?
Or conversely, get the personal files from an existing CM7 SD card into a new one made by this installer ? (I suppose the point of your installer is to make this a moot point ever after.)
Ok this is an update to my previous post.
I've got the gapps zip file to install.
I did the following:
1. Follow verygreen's instructions in original post.
2. Then I setup my wireless.
3. Turned nook off and pulled sdcard.
4. Connected sd card to computer.
5. Make backup of uImage and uRamdisk
6. Renamed uRecImage to uImage and uRecRamdisk to uRamdisk
7. Downloaded the latest gapps zip file and copied it to the sd card.
8. Copied the update cm zip file that I originally used from the initial install back to the sd card.
9. Ejected card, inserted card into nook and booted up.
10. Recovery popped up and started to unzip both zip files.
11. Let it finish and then it will boot normally.
12. Once the nook boots, the initial sign pops up.
13. Skip everything until you get the normal home screen. None of the sign-in will work because it is looking for a phone signal.
14. Once you get to the home screen, make sure your wifi is still setup correctly and click on the market. Then follow the normal account setup directions.
Hope this helps everyone.
