Integrating GAPPS in custom binary

Hey Guys,

As I have mentioned in my last post that Google account is not integrated in the custom source that we download from the Android site. I later learnt that this violates the licensing agreement. So we don't get google account integration with the cyanogenmode binaries. So here is a method I found on the internet to integrated the Google account and apps with the custom binary built from the source code:

• Download the clockworkMode Recovery binary for Google Nexus S (recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img) from http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager
• Then you can download the GAPPS from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip.

Now we are ready to flash on the device:

$ fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.0-crespo.img

$ fastboot reboot recovery 

Device in Recovery boot mode

This will install the recovery binary onto your device. Now we can do a recovery boot to browse the menu and install updates from the sdcard. To browse use vol up, vol down and power button.

• Go down to "mounts and storage" > "mount USB storage"
• Copy the GAPPS zip gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip to device sdcard storage.
• Select "install zip fron sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard"
• locate gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip.
• Reboot the device. 

Integrated GAPPS to custom binary

Custom binary properties :-P

 Now google apps are integrated to your custom binary.
