Hi,
I just got a 7f G3 (which, BTW, is already out in France since about a week and for 99€) and tried your method. Everything has been working fine except that I get “The Market app has stopped” when I launch the app; any help?
This method is not the most reliable option to install the Market, maybe it needs updated files for ICS. I’ll have a look when I get my hands on a device, will try to make a custom firmware, which is the prefered method to get a properly running Google Play/Android Market. When we have something work, it will be announced here on the blog and/or in the forum.
Alright. And while I’m at it, I went to the Market on the browser of the tablet and the Market now detects the device (“Unknown AN7FG3″). I clicked on an app and asked for it to be send to the tablet, we’ll see if it works. I’ll keep you posted.
What devices will this work for? I have an Arnova 10 G2 will this work?
It will work on the 10 G2, you can also check a custom firmware that will give you more possibilities

I followed the steps above but didn’t work for me.
I have an archos 7c g2.
After step 9, gmail produces the same error..cant establish etc..
The 7cG2 is a bit of an exception in the Arnova G2 products. It needs a specific firmware, that requires some manipulations, please check here:
