I chose Harmony as the device when downloaded the zip file, as Viewsonic is not listed as one of the devices and someone in the forum suggested to use it for gTab.
Now I installed the CM7, I am adding the exchange account, after filling in my gmail account, it moved to Server settings, now I have problem, not sure what should I enter as it rejected me all the time:
Domain\Username
\my username
password: xxxxx
Server
gmail.com
with SSL checked.
I did not get this screen when I was in Vegan.
Do I download the wrong CM7 zip?
How come I don't see Market in CM 7?
When installing CM7, Google apps (GAPPS) is not installed along with the rom. GAPPS are available as a separate download. That will solve your missing market app and will also fix your email problems as the native Gmail app is included in the GAPPS package.

Have you tried setting permissions ? Why haven't you installed GAPPS ? The download link should be in the OP of the Rom your using.

Yes i did changed the permission settings .
i dont want to install any of the Google apps on my phone
is there any way to install those apk's which are not getting installed ?
Error message is " X App not Installed"
Please help
Without installing Gapps it makes things harder. But the apps should still install normally. Have you checked your settings? Menu -Settings - Security - Unknown sources. Make sure it's checked.

First of all ROOT is required for it and as root you can kill your device so don't do any thing silly and blame me after it if you broke something
I want to keep my phone as google free as possible so i primary use F-droid¹ for software and Owncloud² to sync contacts and calendar with DAVdroid³
Sadly F-Droid do not have a replacement for everything so i have to install Play Store manual and upon android 4.4 i had some problems with it, but it is just as easy as before you just a little bit different
Grab you the latest gapps maybe here,
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Gapps
extract the file and copy PhoneSky.apk, GoogleServicesFramework.apk GoogleLoginService.apk and PrebuiltGmsCore.apk to /system/priv-app/ on your device
and set permissions to 644 or in words
"read" for owner, group and other
"write" for owner
now reboot and you can open Play Store and add your google account and happy buying
The first things i would do after it stop all updates so that google map will not upgrade to version 7 (i dont like it) disable all customised advertisement and auto update and everything else what can be disable
Now if you are happy enough to own your own webspace (preferred with https) install owncloud² on it and DAVdroid³ on your device and be happy that google dont know all your contacts and appointments
If you don’t have a webspace you can install owncloud² on your PC at home and sync your devices with it or you use some dynamic dns (i suggest to have a internet flat rate and a good firewall than) and you can sync from everywhere too.
I hope this is of interest for anyone and if necessary i can make it a bit more detailed.

Hi dark-wulf, and thanks for your guide !
I have a Samsung Nexus S I9023 running CyanogenMod 11 M6, and when I reboot my phone after following your guide (there's no PrebuiltGmsCore.apk so I'm using GmsCore.apk instead), I'm stuck at the boot animation.
The only ways to be able to go past it is to either :
1- Reflash a ROM
2- Use AROMA file manager from recovery to delete the aforemontionned .apk files.
Hi all and thanks for the guide!
I installed CM 11 on my Nexus 4 and then installed the required apk (as you explain) to get play store on my phone without all other google service.
It works fine but when I upgrade CM 11 to a new release I lose play store. Is it Ok?
If I install the complete Gapp, I don't lose nothing when upgrading to a new CM 11 release.
What should be the problem?

Hi luca_vs,
I've been using CM11 since M6, and managed to get it working by putting the following files in /system/priv-app (permissions 644 = rw-r--r-- for user:group = root:root) :
GmsCore.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Phonesky.apk
And then installing each .apk file in that order (you need to authorize installation from unknown sources first or you'll get a rather unexplicit error otherwise). Reboot when it's done just to be sure.
I've never had to reinstall those files after using CM's integrated updater. Just how did you upgrade yours ?

Hi breversa,
I upgrade CM from settings -> about phone -> Cyanogenmod update
I'm using the nightly series... should it be the problem?
I've stopped using nightlies, as Mx releases are stable enough for me.
It might be because of nightlies that you have this problem, tought I doubt it. But come to think of it : maybe the /system partition gets wiped when upgrading to a nightly release, and that would explain why you need to reinstall GApps everytime.
You may want to head over to the CM forum/wiki/G+ to check this out.
Alternatively, install an older M release, install GApps (the way you want), then upgrade to a later M release, and see what happens !

Unfortunatelly it continue to delete play store when upgrading from M8 to M9 .
Now I'm investigating why...
Thanks for you help!
Here's precisely what I did after a clear, fresh install of CyanogenMod 11 M11 :
Your device needs to be rooted.
Download the appropriate Google Apps (I used the latest gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip).
Extract the following files from the archive :
GmsCore.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Phonesky.apk
On your device, go to Settings/Security (or wherever it is) and check Allow installation from unknown sources. Otherwise, you'll get a rather unexplicit error message when trying to install the apk files.
Copy the previous apk files to /system/priv-apps, and DO NOT REBOOT your phone until you've finished the current procedure, or you'll be stuck at the boot animation and will have to either reflash your phone or delete the aforementionned apk files using a recovery file manager (I use Aroma FM).
Change their owner and group to root (= UID 00000). Actually, changing the group may not be necessary, but that way it's consistent with the other files in that directory.
Change their permissions to rw-r--r-- (= 644).
Install each apk. I did it in alphabetical order and there was no problem.
Reboot your phone.
If everything went fine, you should now have access to the Play Store without any extra Google component, especially not those pesky contacts/calendar/apps synchronizations.
Thread necromancy warning !
I've started using PA-GAPPS to install Play Store on my latests devices : http://forum.xda-developers.com/paranoid-android/general/5-1-x-5-0-x-4-4-x-pa-gapps-mirror-t3069879.
The original developer apparently retired and documentation has been moreless lost in the process, but the pico module only needs some slight tweaking.
Thought it might come in handy.
I'm running Cyanogenmod 12.1 without gapps installed and unfortunately I cannot use the calendar, because it requires an account. How can I set this up?
Hi, everyone. I'm a noob in custom ROM installing or Android in general so obviously my first try ended badly.
Device is LG Nexus 5 (just 5, not 5x,5p or whatnot). I chose LineageOS 14.1 to install, and followed all the steps.
OS itself installed, I believe, correctly (atleast without any errors during install), but Google Apps don't install at all.
I tried, like, every single option on opengapps dot org (choosing "ARM" platform and "7.1" Android) and there's always this message in TWRP log during install: "NO changes were made to your device".
I tried to download GApps manually afterwards, from the phone, but it's not the solution: Google Play Services are constantly crashing and connection with Google Account is interrupting.
I hope you can help me :crying:
UPD. Problem solved. There was not enough system memory
