[HOW TO]Install Gapps on CM7 for Gen8

AlaskaPardus · Jul 19, 2011

This is just a short howto to bring Gapps on Cyanogenmod 7 for Archos Gen8 devices:

First you need two things:

-download a root file explorer like Astro or ES Filemanager or Rootexplorer(costs a few bucks but its still worth! you only can copy a apk of it if you purchased and installed rootexplorer in stock archos firmware. copy the apk in stock firmware from /system/app to sdcard, so you can install it in the bootet CM7)

-download gapps for CM7: http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20110613-signed.zip

Second you must extract your gapps.....signed.zip to sdcard.

Now make a reboot and boot CM7!!!
The following steps will not work in stock Archos firmware!!
Take your root file explorer and mark all apps in the extracted folder /sdcard/gapps-gb-20110613-signed/system/app and copy all apks to /system/app.

Now close file manager and reboot your device.
Once your device reboots it should take you to the start up wizard.

Open market and enjoy your CM7 on your device!!!

If this helps or if you can improve this how to you are welcome!!

Sorry for my bad english, i read it better than write it correctly

Hey ,

I followed this but it doesnt want to copy to /system/app

what can it be?

just says "failed to copy"

thx

AlaskaPardus · Jul 24, 2011

Sorry dont know what the reason could be.

Valorster · Jul 24, 2011

Its. Needs to be rooted to copy the files?

AlaskaPardus · Jul 24, 2011

I think you have root if you use cyanogen mod 7 - or do you use stock firmware?

Even if he use stock firmware, he have root

(installing the boot menu gives root)

What file explorer do you use? Try a different one

i used es file explorer and astro (payed version)

Astro gives me the notification that it failed to copy

Es doesnt do a thing

ill try root explorer too then.

Edit : root explorer doesnt copy it either :s

ok i got it , booted in cyanogen , used root explorere there and could copy

in stock firmware archos i didnt get asked for super user permission....

Because you don't have root in Stock.

Hope its clearer now.

I find it funny your saying boot to CM7 all gapps does is give you market, and other google apps. It does not give you CyanogenMod.

i find it funny you haven't read all lines......if you would have, you would have seen that i sayd "....copy the apk in stock firmware from /system/app to sdcard, so you can install it in the bootet CM7!"

that means i assume you have already installed CM7.....and the thread says it too:

"How to install GAPPS on CM7 for Gen8" and not "How to install CM7 and GAPPS on CM7 for Gen8!"

i think you should wear your glasses
