root works perfectly!

how can I flash google apps?
I tried the update.zip from the other thread but volume down + power doesn't let me flash anything.

I get "E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip (Status 7)"

Don't y'all be afraid to click that "Thanks" button below

Custom recovery works?

No. Custom recovery doesn't let me flash the update.zip either Same error.
Is there another way to get the google apps? (and most of all a working market?)


edit:
does the camera work for you guys? I just get a black screen.

Nice. Well done, flashing worked like a charm.
But still, this thing is Blurred like hell and degoogled. I'm gonna flash back to 2.1 and wait till some deblurred rom with google is released.

I'll tweak it madly as soon as it starts booting, will adapt my guide to it

Titanium Backup doesnt work.
Fixed: manually install busybox

Restore works ok, but without google it's useless. Restoring the market from apk doesn't work for me. I'm flashing back to 2.21

In the Chinese post, it is said that there's a way to install google services.
But some users report the camera & video recorder somehow don't work.

Edit:
In the original Chinese post, there's a link directing google service installing method to
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-49941-1-1.html
and the tutorial there is as following:
1. copy the file to your sd card.
file mirror:
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B_...NTQzODUyZjY3N2Jk&sort=name&layout=list&num=50

2. volume down + power button to wipe

3. use motorola's recover:
Android system Recovery <2e>
-->Use Touch to highlight and 'OK'to Select
-->reboot system now
-->apply sdcard:update.zip
-->wipe data/factory reset
-->wipe cache partition
-->ok hide

Running froyo now, but the update.zip won't install from recovery and clockworkmod recovery won't boot

 

[walter79]

Clockwork MOD recovery won`t work.

 

[joergherzinger]

I currently have big troubles returning backup to 2.21. Flashing and everything works, but when running for 2 minutes or so I get an error that app.media.android or so has crashed and then mostly everything stops working. I'll see if I can flash back to 2.2.

 

[Sorensiim]

I've got market on the Chinese froyo

Unzip the update.zip from here, and using ADB or Motodev Studio, install the google apk's from /system/app found in the zip file. Easy-peasy

Edit: Getting a ton of force close's though...

 

[bihariel]

[Filipitripi]

The files from bihariel are working. I have installed them with clockwork recovery. The next step was the installation of Zeam + Systemapp Remover. After that i had deinstalled all these Chinese stuff Nevertheless big Thanks @ Tenfar
