Hi,

Just flashed CM9 onto my SGS i9000,

Have downloded the gapp zip, but cant see how I can move the file to the root of the sd to enable me to flash via CWM Recovery.

Can anyone advise on how to acieive this?

Thanks,

Total newbie here, so check my work before proceeding because I didn't take careful notes.  I had the problem of the google play store not working, so I downloaded that gapps.zip file you mentioned and it was either saved directly to the phone (SGH-i897) or I somehow copied it onto the phone. I used a program called ES File Explorer to figure out where the phone put the file.  It seems there's something not quite right with Mod 9 and SD cards. They're not referenced in the normal fashion so stuff shows up in other places than what documentation you read elsewhere may indicate. Anyway, after I figured out where the phone was hiding the file, I restarted in recovery mode. There's a way to use the volume key as up and down and the power key for "enter" and then you can navigate to the file and select it. After I did that, the gapps was added on and everything worked.

Now, does anybody know what I should select as my phone type in ClockWork? I have SGH-i897 Captivate, but the radio says i9000UGKG3, which I think is from a different model. Therefore, I don't know if I should select i897, i897 MTD, i9000,etc.  What is MTD?
