[Q] Acer D250 Market Installation

Salutations all,
After spending a hefty amount of time googling this to hell and pouring over similar threads both here and on other android forums i figure now is the time to ask.
Without the Market built in, or any sort of file browser to speak of:
how can I install the Market on my Acer D250 on the Android side.
Seeing as how it runs what seems like a custom version of 1.0 (with out any google apps) if i could just get the market and possible the standard google apps id be all set. If anyone has any ideas I'm pretty much willing to try anything at this point.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Disgo Tablet 6000

Hi,
someone is interested to develop a Rom with Froyo for the device "Disgo Tablet 6000"?
Thanks in advance
Il Conte 81

I'd love any info on this too. Disgo Tablet 6000 has a rather locked down version of Android that doesn't even have Marketplace nor Facebook. I like it but it's currently useless until you add in some apk's.
I'm therefore willing to experiment a bit with loading roms onto it. Done so on my Hero but would need a few pointers on this one as I go.

Ive updated my rom to 2.2 using a rom for the sylvania tablet - but have lost root access and considering downgrading - I aslo have a running android market but no paid apps (looking into how to enable this)
Its a good cheap device - any input greatly recieved
I downgraded my rom to 2.1 and got root back!! YAY!! Im trying out getting android market on it tonight and seeing if I can get apps2sd working.
Id love to know how to build roms....but...there is no recovery image just the option to install from sd or via the OTG port.
Rom building I have no clue with and unlike regular android which can utilise the recovery process and a rom in zip form you need special drivers and program to push it to the device (if doing it via the otg port) Similar to the RUU for winmo.
The file extension is IUS - I have the files for the 2.1 update and 2.2 and uide if anyone is interested?
Plus Ill post back if I get market working.
Gurry

I've been trying to update a disgo (hwver=12.2.0.5) to froyo but have no idea which of the ius files are safe to flash , i did flash disgo_12.2.0.5.1.4.ius but it seems to be exactly the same as i had already

noticed these are down to £70 on play at the moment has anyone had any more luck with theirs?

No "official" 2.2 Froyo, however some newly purchased tablets are pre-loaded with 2.2 but it seems to have issues. Others, as noted above, have manually updated using the Sylvania files which seems to be the same as Disgo is doing causing issues.

This string of Tweet's is telling, the distributors (Disgo, Sylvania "Digital Gadgets", and others) are having issues with infoTMIC delivering working firmware for these tablets.
Disgo 6000 owners hang in there you may get an update soon.

Since the Disgo 6000 is similar to the 7" Sylvania's tablets, this post, in response to Should I get one? in the Sylvania Tablets forum at adroidtablets.net, maybe applicable.

i have got a disgo 6000 and it is stuck in a boot loop any ideas on how i could kick it out of this, pls??

Choppah, use the three finger salute.
Hold a finger on the screen, keep the menu button pushed in, and hold the power button. Keep all three fingers on until you see text, then remove all fingers and push the menu button once.
You're welcome

Hi all, know this thread has been quiet from quite a long time but.... I have exactly the same problem as choppah When you switch it on it sticks at the
" Disgo tablet 6000RL
Finger touch
Stylus Free"
Boot screen
I have been given the tablet to try and "fix".... I have tried the 3 finger boot to recovery however i then get "Getting recovery Image" "No recovery image found, try recover from SD."
As you may be aware the usb's on the sides are both HOST apparently the one nearest the HDMI port is the OTG port but when i try and connect it to my pc neither device recognises the other. I read somewhere that you needed to press both the power and menu buttons and i did that to no avail.....
I would love to just get the thing working optimally by installing a Stock ROM, from all my searching i believe that there is no stock for this device but have also found it may be possible to install a sylvania rom. As i have never had this tablet boot up and i have not got any box\instructions, plus there is no serial number on the back only model etc i have no idea which sylvania rom would be safe to install and if this could be done by sdcard at all?
Any and all help/advice welcome

Hi All,
I have managed to get a little further with this.... But only a little. Using Techvendetta's newsd.img i have managed to get to a point where the tablet will load images from the sdcard! Thats about it though. I am still stuck at the inital Disgo screen as i dont know enough about how the boot actually works... i am unsure how i can sort this issue. Is this an actual hardware failure? I suspect not as the recovery appears towork using the newsd.img. At least it appears to write the correct data. I cannot as i have stated beofre get otg working.
If anybody reads this... please help if possible....

[Q] Collaboration to Port android to wm8650

Good Day Everyone,
I have been searching the forums for a few days and installed a number of apk's all of which don't seem to work.
There seems to be so many posts on Chinese tablets and getting Android Market to work. And a number of work arounds that I have tried have so far been unsuccessful. Many of us have bought the WM8650 models (VIA8650,High-performance 800MHZ CPU+300MHZ).
So my question is can't we collaborate as a group who own these tablets to donate an amount (say $10 or $20 each) to the developer that ports an Android version which runs all the Google apps and Market?
That way we won't have to look for workarounds, and those who purchase after us will have a much easier upgrade path.

I have the wm8650 and can't access to the android market, even though there is an icon for it. I get an error that says, "Authentication error. Please check your account/password". Have you figured out the problem yet?

Not yet
Hi guytimes.
The Android Market apk that I loaded won't open, however it seems the pre-loaded Market app on the device only shows applications from China(did not return any results when I searched for Angry Birds). The icons look similar but I'm not sure if the pre-loaded app goes to the Official Android Market place.(If someone knows, please could you correct me?).
In the interim, to at least to get some apps loaded, I managed to get the application from Slideme ( an Android application website) which works well. It does not have all the apps on the official Market but it will let you download and install. I am still trying to find a way to get the Google apps and Market place working or to Port a different ROM to this type of device.

Wow, that stinks. I had no idea the marketplace was blocked on these devices. Please let me know if you find a real work around and I'll do the same.

Hi everyone,
I too opt-in for a possible collaboration.
I'm still waiting my baby to arrive.

Thanks
Thank you boshkop,
Let's hope we can get enough people to agree. And then a technical person to port Android for us.
By the way I found another nice app market at Androidpit

What do you mean by "porting the Android"?! The device already runs Android 2.2!! Am I missing something here?

As far as I understood, he meant that Android market doesn't work and no apps can be installed even via .APK files, am I correct?

I just found a possible solution for the AndroidMarket (using the application Applanet).
Check here (the last post):
androidpit.com/en/android/forum/thread/420722/Table-7-wm8650-VIA-926-REVIEW

I have this tablet and I can tell you, it run 90% of the apk aplications
No need to have an android market. You can install the applanet market and get all free without registration and any complicated steps.
Now the only thing I'm searching is to know how to root the tablet.
I can access all the system files directly and edit any archive but need some special permisions.
Hopefully soon we can find soemthing for this awesome tablet.

rom
Hi everyone, I will have a ROM posted for the Eken m009s with the via 8650 cpu within the next few days, so far I removed the chinese apk's, a different lockscreen (froyo default), and launcher pro as the default home screen, also, Slide Me marketplace works perfectly on this, and Applanet does as well, the market I tried also fails to open.

There are lots of ROMs some of them still under development here:

I really dont know how to tell which one mine is though? It is a MID tablet running android 2.2 froyo 7" display I can post my model number and other specs if you need them to be able to tell which one it is.

Unfortunately there are at least 3-4 models with same tech specs.
The only difference is their LED color or if they vibrate on startup or not...
So far, the only way with the custom ROMs for these tablets is trial-and-error.

I tried on last night and it is stuck on a loading screen tried the install again and nothing... mine has green led and does vibrate on startup

Just keep trying with different ROMs made for the Green LED tablets.

Thats the problem the only roms I found that will actually load on my tablet dont work the other green led roms wont even load???

[Q] can someone help me get newer maps onto a cheap hacked gps?

Hi XDA guys!
A couple days ago I bought the maylong FD-220 "gps for dummies" gps at CVS pharmacy. The unit was deeply discounted ad I got it for $19.99 I knew it was a junk piece of hardware but I tried to go to the MFR website anyways to look for any map updates. No luck- the maps in the unit are from 2009 and they are NOT updating it- EVER. I guess the whole project completely tanked for them.
Anyways, I wanted new maps, and to eliminate using the ugly "for dummies" interface, so I figured I'd use MioPocket to hack my way in to a proper home screen, and install some windows CE 5.0 compatible gps software with newer maps etc.
I used MioPocket Mini 4.0 R2 and created a bootable sd card using the YFgo2CE.bld file trick to boot and complete the install. I was careful to use the Mini version because I ONLY wanted to do this to get more current maps and I don't care about using the device to do any other tricks whatsoever. Plus, I wanted to use whichever method was least likely to brick the device. I was successful and now I have a bootable sd card that loads MioPocket and the unit boots stock without sd card inserted.
Anyway, my question is this:
I know the unit was a el-cheapo Chinese piece of garbage, that's why it's discontinued now. I don't expect much but maps from 2009 with no updates is unacceptable. Does anyone know of any freeware, or even pay gps navigation programs that will run on windows ce 5.0 from an sd card? I just want newer maps- even if I use another discontinued program that at least had its last release in late 2010 or better etc.
I have done some web searching and have not been able to find a single tutorial or hack video etc which is written specifically for this model number. Just a few comments here and there.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Same problem..
I grabbed one at my CVS as well..
Looking for the same thing!

[Q] Ematic Funtab

So I just bought my children each a tablet 2 different brands. The one I am having a problem with is an Ematic Funtab (pink and purple silicone kid like tablet). I have searched high and low on the web and have had no success.
First of all it is a 2.2 Android Froyo, and when I try and go onto her fav website (the whole reason I got her this was to play this game and leave my computer alone, lol), it is called animal jam, it tells me I need to download Adobe Flash, and when I try to download Flash, it tells me my device does not support it.
I was told to try and get the Flash app from the market, and here lies problem 2! It is preloaded with some generic ''app market'' with a pic of the android avatar, and another market, Appoke or something, and they both suck (because they are not Google Play), and do not have Flash, or much else for that matter! So I added (thru the browser, website, and email) the Amazon Market, but when I tried to download any apps I was told I needed and sd card, so now I am waiting on that to arrive to try that again.
So I was wondering about this whole ''rooting'' thing? If I root this device will I be able to add Flash and Google Play? Also, since there is so little info on the internet about this Ematic Funtab, does anyone know how I would be able to root this specific device? And after the device is rooted what version of Android will it be, still 2.2 or what? And what do I do after it is rooted? Like do I have to install the OS or something?
I know this is a lot, but if you can answer even one of these questions or point me in the right direction my baby would really appreciate it, because I got this on ebay and it is going to cost more money we don't have to return it, she used her birthday money :crying:
