*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0
12/23/2010:
v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

Archos 101

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

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.

[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This Guide is designed for people, who are having problems with the GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711 package.
Only for CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5, but might help other people too.
Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

I created an application and ı wanted to set as a startup app. I tried different application manager programs but they didn't work.

I get my Mate 10 (L29 from Singapur) and install the 119 update over OTA, factory reset and start to install my apps (no backup/clean install).
First of all I can not install some games over Google Play, like Clash of Clans or Radiant.
Clean Google Play storage 2x and it works, so I can install what I want.
Than I can not run some apps, like PayPal so I make again a factory reset but this time over the recovery. After factory reset I install all apps which don't work. PayPal work, Tutanota work, AquaMail work but again a lot of games "is not compatible with this device", like Clash of Clans. Clean storage from Google Play and I can install anything.
So, after this anything works but it stop after some time. I do nothing, no reboot, no installation, don't change anything on the phone and AquaMail stop working. When I open a mail I can see anything, just not the message (white screen). Tutanota stop working, I click on the Icon, saw the logo and than just a grey screen. Sometimes (after reboot) I get now this application error: https://picload.org/view/drcollla/img_20171127_102900.png.html
The strange thing is I do nothing. I use my Mate, open Tutanota and AquaMail and after this no reboot, no new installation, nothing change on the system, dont connect it ro anything but the apps stop working.
Nobody?
