[Q] Gapps problem in verygreen's CM10 for Nook HD+

[dguenther]

Hello,
I've scoured the internets and the forum to no avail.

After what can only be described as an ordeal, I finally got verygreen's CM10 to boot from an SD card for my Nook HD+
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2032364

However, I cannot get gapps, which is the whole reason one would switch to cm10.

I also could not get adb to ever work, so I just put the zips onto the sd card directly (not the boot partition, but the CM10SDCARD partition), and then loaded recovery mode.

Then I mounted the sd card. Then install zip from sd card. Then choose zip from sdcard. Then I choose the gapps zip.
Then

E:Can't open /sdcard/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.

I don't know what the problem is. I know there were a lot of problems getting CM10 on there to begin with, but now there is no problem.

Which gapps was I using? Xda people pointed me to http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip which is where I got it from.

Please any help or advice.

Thanks,
DG

i suspect a corrupted gapps zip file. perhaps it didn't download fully, or didn't transfer fully to your microsd card ?

Yes, I agree. Download the gapps file directly to your device and then install via CWM. Sometimes PC antiviral software will corrupt a download on the PC.

Thank you both. So, I downloaded gapps directly to the internal memory. Could you advise how to go from there in CWM? Is it mounting the emmc, or the rom? Then is it choose .zip from internal card? It can't mount the emmc...I don't know if there is something I need to do first.

No, not to internal memory, to sdcard. Copy now from emmc to sdcard. Then you can flash with cwm.

Edit: BTW, I meant to download with CM10, not stock.

I saw where this was posted, almost verbatim as how you mentioned it.

Does anyone out there ACTUALLY have experience with this happening?
In the 13 years of working on this stuff (tinkering with gadgets, etc) I have never experienced this.

Update:
Today, I finally got it going. Downloaded gapps from CM and it installed like a charm. Now I've got a pretty darn good android tablet for the price. Thanks leapinlar, much appreciated.

abense, i'm, also skeptical that it was actually my antivirus software. I would imagine the software would prevent the download entirely as opposed to just corrupting it. However, it did work when downloading from the nook itself.

Look at this exchange below. He kept getting corrupt files on download until he turned off his bitdefender.

gapps from sdcard for HD

Might be a dumb question but...
I used OP's auto-install version of his HD version of Verygreen's HD+ CM10 sdcard. It installs CM10 to the sdcard no problem. Works like a charm. My Nook HD runs CM10 from the card great. But no gapps.
Would this method you've described work for me? Is there an easier way I'm just missing?
If I load gapps to internal memory, do I then mount the sdcard in CWM and flash gapps to the sdcard that way?

The install from internal memory option is broken in the SD versions of CWM.

Boot to CM10, browse to goo.im and download gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip to sdcard. Then use the power menu to boot to recovery and choose install zip from SD, then choose zip from SD. It will probably be in downloads folder.

Thanks. I don't remember seeing goo.im in the apps, but I wasn't really looking. I've used it before in other circumstances. I'll take a look when I get home. Thanks for the help.

That is a web site, not an app.

Thanks. Never realized it was a web site. I always used goo manager from the app store. Should have realized it was pulling from a web site. I've rooted a bunch of different devices but I'm still finding out how much I don't know. Thanks again.
