Can we just flash this and do nothing else or does this require a whipe or something? Also sorry for the noob question but why do we need to update the market?
thanks for the heads up.

From what I can tell, the icons are all new. Although maps is older version and will get updated via Market and icon will be replaced back to normal. Other than that, not much difference.
It has the Google search app and the updated Voice Search.
Would love to know why there is a Twitter client in the gapps package.
does anyone know where i can get GAPPS for CM6?....i just rooted about 30 mins ago and im totally lost and every link is broken......i really need some help LOL....i know that sounded desprate
we have moved on to cm7, can still get the cm6 gapps at http://goo-inside.me/
wow thats real overwhelming to me LOL....should i just flas CM7?.....would that be a better option for me? (and is everything included with CM7?)....sorry for all the questions...did my homework on rooting, but all the stuff that comes after root im not so keen on.....thank alot
can you tell me which one i need for my particular ROM?>
HDPI
MDPI
MDPI-TINY
MDPI-TEGRA
hdpi
cm7 nightlies have 4g now, they are working very well and have everything that cm6 had, there are a few minor issues such as dialer wakelock, titanium not auto restoring, slow pc to phone transfers
ok cool....but im having a problem....i downloaded CM7 onto my PC and dropped it into my SDcard....went to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY....but its not taking me to the Clockwork MOD....its just giving me the option to REBOOT, REBOOT BOOTLOADER, AND HBOOT USB..........did i do something wrong?....this is the first time im flashing a ROM over another
P.S. Do i have to delete Cm6 thats in my SDcard, then drop CM7 into the SDcard.....then try to go into recovery?....im not really sure
Here is a flashable zip for people who want the new market on Cyanogen Mod. This isn't originally mine. I saw it on another thread, but I am reposting here because it seems like a lot of people are looking for it (and I can't seem to find it again haha.)
Just flash from your favorite recovery and enjoy!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that it is working fine for me on 6.1 final

Guess I should have put in that it works fine for me on 6.1 final lol
I don't get it. I did a NAND backup. Cleared the data for the market. Flashed the zip. It didn't work. Force Closed evertime. So I did a NAND restore to my backup. And now my old Market is FC'ing non stop. What the hell

Loaded on my Incredible with no problems. Wiped Market cache, cache and dalvik-cache before loading. I'm running Cyanogen 6.1. Thank you all.
what to do with files?
Ok so i know how to install apk files, but seems when i rooted my cdma r800x experia play, using cyangen modd, i must have done something wrong, i had folders labled apps, and a ziped folder labled gapps-gb-20110613-signed, but i did nothing with these two, and now my market dont work, my home key dont work, well that seems to be the only complaints as i successfully have the spbshell3d working and that is amazing, the home key aint a big deal but would be nice if it worked, i would just like my market to work.
Thanks,

Settings and about phone. I am just wondering because Rumm is 2.3.320 and I think Fission is 2.3.340. If you want try this before you try Rumm. Backup current ROM and then run the Metro Flash from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=730289. Also make sure your APN settings are correct.
Thanks a lot I found that I can have everything working with the stock Rom. Using root explorer to push the u2nl and upstart.sh. it will only send mms using 3 mags pixel.

Help with mms!!!
Ok, I've followed everything step by step in order to make my stock GB DX work on Metro instead of VZW. All went perfectly until the last part. Flashing MetrOFF 1.2 (GB). I have put the file on my sd card and tried running it in recovery mode per instructions, and it seems to start, but then fails out saying that it's not signed and aborts. Does anyone know how to make it work? I like the stock ROM and took out most of the bloatware that I didn't want. The rest is perfect imo, except the MMS part. I don't have service yet because I want the phone working %100 before paying another company money for service. Pease help!!?

Try using the old version of CWM recovery.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
ok.. CWM Recovery. Sorry, I'm tired and I don't quite follow. I know I didn't say which instructions I followed, but I never had to dl another recovery prog to get this far. I did get the instructions from this forum and followed them to a tee. After all of that, I ran across another thread that showed me how to mod settings through ##7764726 with the code 000000 (Well, it led me there and I figured out alot just by looking around.), and then another prog allowed me to set the APN. Anyway, I wonder if between that and other forum instructions, did I bypass having to use the MetrOFF mod? I'd still like to because all of the other instructions there were right on the money and don't want to find that I missed something going through a back door. TY for the info...
Also (a bit off topic), I need a prog that will allow me to actively switch between apps (ie. Web, game, IM service, sms/mms, e-mail, etc) w/o having to back out completely or restart the app or navigate from the home screen to that app every time. Kinda like Task Manager in Windows Mobile 6.5??? I'm sure I'll have to designate a shortcut to that app on the home screen (wish I could make a button do it, like the back button ), but it would make "fast switching" a hell of alot faster and easier. TY big time for any help here!!!
Going further down the rabbit hole... Why isn't it told that in order to install CWM you need to get something from Java in order to undersrtand the SDK file of Android and then from there (God willing) understand wtf you're doing to install CWM on the DroidX? It seems pretty clear that this is the process to get an app from the AndroidMarket to work on this phone. Yes, for me it's worth the effort, but for a noob with no patients that just wants the better to be best, I think it should be an added must in all instructionals! Even my tech savvy self (still learning all things android) is perplexed and almost confused at all of this. I hope I help someone out there with all the same frustrations...
OK. I have since went round and round like most of us do to get things working correctly. I have had success in getting Bootstrap on my phone via .apk on my sd card (not the way I expected to after much hw and following guides), but even now that I have successfully installed CWM, I still can't run the MetrOFF zip file. I get an error stating that:
"Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5.
It was Necessary to remove it when upgrading to the ClockworkMod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to Edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip packages."
I then found the Metroff 1.3 [Edify] version that was also meant to remove a roaming indicator, and it was also aborted because of a yet unknown (to me) error. Again, I ask, Please HELP?
No older CWM...
@ Bigshotrob22
Ok, I finally figured out why you said to use an older version of CWM. Problem that I have now, is that I can't find on older version that works. I found 3.0.something and tried it, but it only booted to a black screen everytime I tried to use it at all, so I went back to 5.0.whatever for now. Can Anyone please post a link to an older version that will work on DroidX?

I know this is the wrong section but I got some kind of feeling that there are more people looking in this section.
I have read some guides in the Development section (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537'
But I got some questions about rooting/S-off.
Why is rooting/S-off necessarily, why can't I just put the rom on my SD and go right into recovery mode and boot it up from there?
Also the program visionary plus, I hate that thing so much.... At this step:
Open Visionary and tap temproot, then attempt permroot now. Your device will reboot.
How the hell do I open it? I use Astro File manager or something to go to the file but I can't install the program on my mobile/SD card >.<
Also what do I need to do more besides Wiping my phone? In this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11557769
It says to flash a Radio is this a must? Or is the S-off/Root enough.

No, the DHD has a protected system which precludes overwriting the system partition so without S-OFF you can not make any permanent changes.

Don't use it then the instructions here, achieve root without the use of visionary.

Actually all of the roms now are running Gingerbread, and sense roms are on sense2.1 (With some sense3.0 elements).
My bad, when I was choosing which rom to load yesterday, everything i read said AR was still 2.2. Must have been old threads.

just for the record, nobody can help you based on this information. you need to quote the error message.

+1 for this. definitely give LeeDroid a go if you can. admittedly, it's the only custom one i've used to date (and for less than 24 hours at that), but i can't rate it high enough compared to the branded rom i got in the first place. amazing!

There is no error message. I just can't find a 'exe' or AKP file which will install the program on my SD/Mobile.

No, I haven't flashed a ROM yet since I heard there are some problems with ClockWorkmod of ROM Manager so I am going to wait for a few days xD

sorry to hear that. it's news to me, though. i downloaded it (CWM), and used it last night in the process of flashing the rom, no issues. but i understand the whole 'there may be issues, so i think i'll wait - don't want to brick my phone' line of thought. good luck when you get there. i'm sure you'll be fine if you follow the various guides posted on here. they worked an absolute treat for me (and i'm the definition of n00b).

So basically I'm screwed? Since I need to downgrade to root, and to backup you need to have root >.< but when you downgrade you lose everything xD
I will try it tonight ._.
If you want to back up the new GB OTA ROM then yes but if you just want to back up your apps then No, you don't need root.
Titanium works with root but doesn't need it. Also, if you ticked to let Google keep a backup then your apps will be re-downloaded when you next perform a wipe.

Using Windoze is great....
One word for you: Linux.
At the risk of high jacking this thread, have you installed HTC Sync? Can you connect to HTC Sync? If not, try another USB port (if using front port use back ports or vice-versa). If none work uninstall HTC Sync and reinstall it after rebooting PC.
If that works when you are in adb (making sure USB Debugging is on) try
Code:
adb devices
Do you get a result?
