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!!

Hey ,
I followed this but it doesnt want to copy to /system/app
what can it be?
just says "failed to copy"
thx
Sorry dont know what the reason could be.
Its. Needs to be rooted to copy the files?
I think you have root if you use cyanogen mod 7 - or do you use stock firmware?

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.
Just edited my first post to boot (after extracting all zips) to CM7.
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.

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

You can use android kitchen to cook custom roms
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
Can someone provide the modified vendor files for kitchen to cook X8 roms ?
If you have a friend who cooked roms before for hero/legend/g1/nexus devices, ask him to cook one for us, this is the fastest way
For those who never cooked a rom, this link might be a start :
http://source.android.com/porting/build_system.html
Cooked rom should use our original 2.6.29 kernel of eclair and our rild libs, rest of system should be prelinked to those files.
Gingerbread (2.3) is available in AOSP repository, there's a very good chance we could have it running before SE release froyo if ever.
I have tried this rom Prime from LG Optimus P500 (same cpu and screen).
Flashed with xRecovery, than before rebooting copied over xRecovery files back to flash (to be able to return to my backup).
To enable "adb logcat" debug, put adb-enable file in /data/property/ directory.
The rom booted, i saw android 2.2 bootscreen, but than it crashed..

If you have installed CWM (which you really should as this is your pathway to all the modding and custom roms).
Then you can flash via CWM this tiny root package.

would you please help me installing CWM?
All you gotta do is download it off the market and let it install.

Do not install the one off the market, it can't wipe data properly, doesn't support external SD card and might have other bugs.
Use the lastest CWM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Which would be : latest: recovery-en-goapk-0625-2034.zip
Use instructions from here, they are very straightforward:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154600
The instructions you need start with "INSTALL CWM RECOVERY:"
installing CWM needs root?!
step 3:
3) Use *Root Explorer* or some other file explorer app to navigate to: /system/etc. Look and see if there is a file there named "install_recovery.sh" If it is there, then delete it. If it is not, then you are ok to proceed to the next step

For now, you can just navigate to that folder and check if "install_recovery.sh" is there. If it's not there, then you don't need to do this step.

The Root explorer app bypasses non rooted phones. Don't worry I thought the same thing you did. Just buy the app. Its worth it anyways.

Always search first post of specific thread for answers you will find your answer, or at least search your question before posting
you are not specific to your question
Q.1 Which Firmware are you using
Q.2 Is it Rooted
Q.3 what kind of theme is that (a CWM Flashable, xRecovery Flashable or Manual)
If you are using stock firmware then you will have to root, then you find a compatible theme and apply it according to the method provided by the theme maker
same applies to Custom ROM but they are already rooted and you might already have a recovery software installed
e.g
if its flashable by xRecovery you can go to xRecovery and flash it
if its flashable by CWM you can go to CWM and flash it
if you don't want to flash it go to Root Explorer copy that Framework-res.apk and replace it in system/framework directory and change permission to rw-r--r-- and reboot your device
and above all Backup your device before doing these because first time you might do it wrong and stuck up in boot loop
im using cm mini 7 v20 for rooted mini pro, i dont know if themes are flashable or not, they dont write that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1217611

its a Flashable zip, can be done via CWM
or you can manually copy & Replace those apks to their respective destination after extracting
and change permission to rw-r--r--
but be sure to backup first

so you want to do it manually.
first i must tell you as it is for older miniCM version it might cause problems
First extract your zip in SD card
copy apks from framework and apps folders
mount /system to rw and paste them to system folder
change permission of each apk to rw-r--r-- by press-holding and clicking permission in root explorer
make sure all apks have permission of rw-r--r--
move and replace framework-res.apk from /system to /system/farmework/
move and replace all other apks from /system to /system/apps/
Reboot
Thats it; if you done it correctly then it will go fine
or you can try themes from here by installing apks Here
The apks can be extracted and installed directly, no copying and setting permissions needed. However the core framework of cm7 must have changed since these were made as they don't render properly on newer cm7 based roms
hello! i just installed cm10, led is not working and when i try to delete lights.msm7x27.so the phone show me this message: could not delete file!
what can i do?
thanks!
Install ES File Explorer from the market, then from its settings enable 'Up to root' 'root explorer' and 'remount /system' you'll then be able to delete it.

Yea its fairly easy, I used FX with root addon but use any root enabled file manager, go to /system/lib/hw and delete the lights_msm7x27.so file reboot your phone and your lights will be working again.

I'm trying to copy some files to the system partition after enabling write on read-only partitions and remounting it and everything is success, but when I restart the phone, files get deleted and partition back to original. I tried ES file explore and Total Commander.

Hey,
no not a hard question but a bit confusing
So the copy to system works without probs?
Do u have root-enabled on it?
U can try Solid explorer once, too, to be sure.

I enabled root explorer and I mounted the file system to be writable, yes I have a rooted phone.
I can copy to system root folders anything (media files), the files stay there until I reboot the phone then they disappear, they get deleted maybe? how to disable that?
Thanks

With new Titanium Backup u can create flashable .zips but for sure only from isntalled apps.
Maybe u have a look at google. I remind for a tool which u just say what u wanna flash an it creates the flashable .zip.
Much success....
