You must manually put the apk in system/apps Folder and adjust permissions. Not sure of permissions but you can do a search for it. Good luck.

Sorry, forgot to add that to the list...
8.5. Flash gapps zip same as rom, (don't worry about wiping data, cache, dalvik... It's just Googles apps and permissions for the rom)
Also, depending on when the gapps zip is from, sometimes I find the Market app instead of the Play store app... It will update on it's own.
Update: Flashed ThunderShed-v1.6_CM7.2-tbolt.zip, restoring Nandroid backup. It's been over an hour now...what should I do? Can I restart the process somehow?
Also, does anyone know what the folder in the sdcard is for Instagram? Those got deleted earlier, but I saved them and would to put them back in the gallery.
Thanks for all your help!
Update: All is well, getting used to having a new ROM now. Gotta figure out what bloatware to uninstall and the customization. Anyone have theme recommendations for TS 1.6, let me know. Thanks for everyone's help!
