Market on offcial firmware

---

Cant see to find info on this. But I have sideloaded apps before, but not the market.

Is it possible? Can I just take a market.apk and sideload it onto a offcial A7 device?

I have installed Dexter's mod and it working fine. Just curious.

What??? DexterMod has Market already
If you want repeat as Dexter - you should sideload pack of apps, not only vending.apk
Curious to try? Did work with Root Explorer and terminal emulator?

Actually it is quite possible.

I used the google app package from Cyanogen (cyanogenmod.com). Look for the package "gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip". Copy that on SD card and use recovery mode to install (no need to wipe).
There is one catch: there is not too much space on /system partition and you need to delete some of the apps from that package before attempting to upgrade. Also you need to edit "updater-script" and remove those apk. Even more, you may need to re-mount /system in Read/Write mode and delete some from /system/app.

It's not too hard, but like Strogino said, it's not straigtforward - you need a little bit of experience...

Btw, package from Cyanogen has old market... Probably 1.83 version...

Doesn't the market update itself?

I will try your suggestions from the CM Mod

I just ordered my A7 from amazon a few hours ago with 2 day shipping. I've read up on on Dexer's mod and I think I will install it. I'm curious if there will be an apps to sd option soon. I would also like to see some cyanogen love for the A7 too
