7. DONE. Sit back and relax
This is what you will get.

Note: 

• You will have clean CyanogenMod 7.1. Very FAST!
• No Google or Samsung apps. Need to download and install separately
• Do not use new market. Download Old Market and copy into you phone SD Card.
• Remove "marketupdater.apk" and "vending.apk" using DarkyROM tool. Install this first.

 Copy Old Market "market.2.3.4.apk" into "Darky/uninstalled/sys" folder

 Uninstall "marketupdater.apk" and "vending.apk"
Install "market.2.3.4.apk".  DONE. You will have Old Market and continue your download business. :)
