Google Apps contain the proprietary Google applications that come pre-installed with most android devices.

1. Download latest version of Google Apps (aka. gapps)  from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/. You can flash latest universal gapps if you have cyanogen mod 7. It is called universal since it is DPI and architecture-independent, and thus can be flashed on all android smartphones.

2. Copy the download gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file to your sd-card.

3. Reboot your android smartphone to clockwork mod recovery ( Home Button to select and Volume Buttons to navigate in CWM recovery)
