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)"

I'll post a european mirror the very second I have the files.

Edit: My buddy is uploading them as we speak, I'll post links as soon as they're done :)

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. ;)

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

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.

I've got market on the Chinese froyo :cool:

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...

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
