Where can I find the latest version of Google Apps for the Viewsonic G Tablet running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-Beta4-Harmony and Froyo 2.2.1? I seem to not have had those updated from Google since the original install December 2011.
Thanks.

This would probably be the closes that I might give a whirl. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip,
If gapps is all you need then goo.im is where to look. You just have to be careful on some and make sure that it will match up to the device.

I'd like to try BaiduInput (Chinese handwriting among other input modalities on my G Tablet running Cyanogenmod 6.1.0-Beta4-Harmony and Froyo 2.2.1) but the program is not available on Google Market despite it states it is compatible with Android 1.6 forward.
I do have it running on my Google Nexus phone running Android 4.2 where it works nicely. I do have the Google Pinyin IME keyboard installed on both the G Tablet and the Nexus phone, it works nicely on both but does not offer handwriting input.
Does anyone have Baidu Input running? Thanks.
You could install ES File Explorer (from the market or internet) on your Nexus phone and make a backup of BaiduInput.apk (or whatever it is called). Then transfer it to the Gtab (using bluetooth or a PC) and install. No guarantee the app will work on the Gtab, but it might.
About your Gapps question in another thread, they should update through the market to the latest version available. You are running a Froyo build, which is old, so there probably haven't been any updates to it's version of Gapps in quite a while. If you want to use the newer versions, you will probably have to update to a newer rom/android version.

I do have ES File Explorer installed on my Nexus phone and will try your suggestion. Thank you.
As for updating to a later ROM, I would love to but last I checked - which is quite some time ago - there were no Tegra 2 drivers for the G tablet supporting later ROMs, thus adversely affecting speed.
Perhaps that has been corrected? If so, what would you suggest I update to (that is stable, works well etcl)?
I have since a long time ago installed CM 6.0.1 with Froyo 2.2.1 on my Viewsonic G Tablet. It seems that I am stuck on the same version of Market that I have had since this installation late 2010. Is it possible to update to the latest version of Market given the above version of CM? I have at least one application, Pleco, that does not allow me to download in-app purchased content to the tablet although I have no problem downloading same to my Google Nexus phone running Android 4.3.
Market is version 1.82, Google Services Framework was recently updated to 2.2.1 but I also have Google Play Services which is at version 3.2.25. Is it possible for me to get the latest version of Market, or Google Play, as it is now called, or am I forever stuck on version 1.82?
Thank you.
Hello there. So I'm using the latest rom, the 7/20 build that is listed here. I have the OTA updater app that tells me I have a update ready. However, my rom says that I am on CM10/1/4/2/2 Modded IrocEvo 20130720. The update says that the new rom is CM10/1/4/2/2 Modded IrocEvo (version 20130518). I'm wondering if I am reading this correctly, the rom it is telling me is the updated on is from May 18, 2013, and the rom I have installed is from July 20, 2013? If this is the case, why is it telling me I have a new update, if the version is 2 months old, based off my current rom. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Ignore updater app for now or use titanium backup to uninstall it. You can dirty flash the new build over the old. I haven't had time to add new file to ota updater app. The newest build is CM10.1.3_4.2.2_Modded_IrocEvo_jewel_20130908.zip . I am working on the cm10.2 update
Unable to open & use Google play services on my rooted (CM 12 instld) LG Optimus E970
Why am i unable to open and use Google play services (play store, play games) on my LG Optimus E970? I search all over the Internet to find a solution, but to no avail. Does the problem have to do with an error in the installation/flashing process of Cynanogenmod 12 (nightly) on my device? if so, how can i correct it? Also, Playstore (or other affiliated services) was not installed after the flash.

I don't think Cyanagenmod for the LG Optimus G E970 is being routinely updated anymore. There are other ROMS that are worth looking at, which are listed below that I have personally used and have had no issues with. The first one is Android 5.1.1 Lollipop based and the second one is Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow based.

The recovery I am using is Philz Touch 6.57.9 Clockworkmod v6.0.5.1
Thank you Kilogrm form your earnest reply. I guess would have to go with Android 5.1.1. I check the link but only saw a link to the ROM file. Can you please provide a link for the gapps file, thank you.

I see you already got your answer from the lollipop thread. I'm sure you know that if you are using Android 5.1.1 that you would use the gapps for 5.1 on the gapps page and not 6.0, which is for Android 6.
Hi all,
Its time to upgrade Android 4.0.4 to a newer version.
Whats-app isn't working anymore and some other apps.
I would like to run it smoothly with all functions working correctly, especially GPS. So the latest android isn't needed i think.
I am thinking of CM12.1 (5.1) to start with. I know i have to resize my system partition and flash a compatible recovery.
But i can't find a step by step guide as this is a pretty old version. I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
thanks
As far as I remember, you don't have to repartition until Android 6.
Also, Android 5 ROMs are quite outdated, and might contain several security vulnerabilities. I would recommend going for LineageOS 11 ROM (Android 4.4.4) by grzwolf here on XDA. It contains latest Android Security Patches. Here's a KitKat compatible recovery: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79196916&postcount=230

Thanks for your advice. I should get this working.
However I see Gapps from 2016 have to be used. Will GMaps and the Play store update themselves to a new version after installation or will i get stuck with the old ones?

It seems like you need to flash ROM, boot into it, then reboot to recovery and flash latest OpenGApps, reboot again and then you should be able to sign in to the play store:
