gAppsInstaller version 5 for Archos Gen8

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

• Stable Market (v2.2.7), no GUI defect
• Misc market apps do not FC (OSMonitor, WeatherBug, TweetDeck, etc)
• Voice Search works, but infamously badly (does some weird full screen thingy)
• Still no Protected Apps in Market - BAD (dont know of a workaround for this, sorry.)
• WiFi location seems to not work with the newer market installed

1. Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps...downloads/list
2. Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
3. Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
4. 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)
5. REBOOT!!
6. 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.

1. Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
2. Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
3. REBOOT again
