[Q] Gtablet newbie - G Tablet General

Hey guys I am new to the website and just got my gtablet today at sears. Seems like a pretty good product from the reseaarch I've done but I could use some help getting it to do what I want.
1. How do I get the standard android market and gmail on it? Like the one I have on my phone. If I get the normal market I should be able to get launcherpro and customize the homescreen correct?
2. Do I have to root the tab? I looked into rooting my phone but never did so I'd need directions if I were to root the tablet.
3. How do I get flash to work on the tablet? Right now it says download unsuccessful when I try to click on the link on the 207th page of the "[Q] Viewsonic gtablet" thread. And if I get flash to work, that will play YouTube videos and similar online videos?
Those are my major concerns right now but if anyone has some helpful hints on ways to make this tab better I'm open to suggestions! Thanks

follow directions here and this will get you root, flash and at least a partial market(you may have to do one more thing afterwards to get all apps to show up)

[Q] how to get full market

So I installeed tnt2.02, that was easy, but I still dont see a lot of apps, like nook or kindle in market. Am I missing a step after installing tnt 2.02 to get there?
Edit/Answer:
Thanks for the post directing me to the thread where roebeet explained how to do this, and thanks for roebeet explaining this, worked great!
For those of you who missed this part, after installing tnt 2.0.2, to get the market going follow the instructions roebeet posted at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175
Repeated here for convenience:
roebeet said:
First off, this is not my fix and I take no credit for it - I am just passing it on. Many thanks to xguntherc for posting the original fix, and KorbenD for pointing me in the right direction on Titanium Backup.
Their posts, as a reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9294190&postcount=2835
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9302719&postcount=2846
I will summarize the Titanium Backup solution, as that's the one I had gotten to work. The non-TB solution did not work for me, but still relevant as some people have gotten it to work in cm:
- Get a copy of Titanium Backup and sideload it (free version is fine). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/
- Make sure the Market is working with your Google ID, of course.
- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps.
- In Titanium Backup, go into "Backup/Restore", look for "Google Services Framework 2.2", click on it and then choose "Wipe Data". Then go back to the home screen.
- Run the Market app. You should get an error (that's a good thing, as that's what we want. If you don't get an error, re-try the steps above until you do).
- Reboot, and wait at least a minute after the OS is up to let things stabilize.
- Run the Market again. You should see an immediate difference.
EDIT: You might have to do one more reboot to get apps to actually download and install. I had this issue, but it might have just been me.
I tested this on TnT 1.02, but keep in mind that my TnT is further modded so results may vary. Good luck!

You need to apply the market hack: see roebeet's original post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
and scroll down to "what did you change?". Even I could do it on first trial so it's really easy
Good luck!
I'm having the same issue, fix didn't work either.

Much has been written on this topic; in short, the g-tablet won't get full access to the market since it has no (phone) radio. Maybe the situation would improve with gingerbread?
The hack works. I've done it many times on different roms. Just follow the steps exactly. Then you'll get the full market.

x2. Sometimes you have to do it more than once. On my second tab, I had to do it twice before it worked. Why? No idea.

X3 works for me. Make sure you get the error message first. That's how I know it works. I perform a reboot after that.
The hack works, I had done the same hack on the emulator I had running of Android on my PC and had access to the market.
Remember still though that the build.prop has test.keys in it instead of release.keys and some apps will not show up for test.keys.
Overall though...the Market hack will open up the market completely (minus the few exceptions)
Definately more listed but still not finding chicktionary (which is listed on the website)
Can I close this if it is solved?
i Have done it 3 times so far with no luck. When i search for angry birds or ADW or launcher pro nothing shows up. I get the error message and reboot and launch marekt which asks me to agree to the terms again and still no dice...

Not sure its definately not "full" but maybe 90%. Actually getting an android phone and will try buying what I want on that and sideloading it.
This worked great for me and I just wanted to say thanks!

[Q] how to root or watch hulu? help please.

Ok I am new to this all. so I am going to go ahead and say that do not get mad if I do not understand something.
anyhow, I am wanting to watch hulu.com on my asus tf101. the builder number is 8.6.5.13.the android version is 3.2.1
I have heard people say to root it, but I am unsure how to do it. I tried a couple of sites, but they seemed old and I would find myself half way through with a link not working.
so all I have is what came on it. I just purchased it today. if you know what will make it work best to watch hulu.com thank you so much. I'll be watching this thread so please ask away if you need any more information.
also I do not paying for anything as long as it works. hence I purchased hulu plus. BUT it did not carry all the shows like it does online.
thank you,

on your TF .
Do the allow unknown apps permission first.
Just click on apk and it will load
Once you are rooted Do the following
go to market get superuser load
go to market get OTA rootkeeper then load
If you are strugglng with this I recommend you do not go any further (ie roms kernels)
I'am almost sure razorclaw will not work because it is based on 8.6.5.19.
It checks the version and also needs (fixed) asus-backup which was delivered with 8.6.5.19.
You can try it, but it will fail.
easy to upgrade from 13 to 19. harder to get back. But based on difficulty with simple Nachoroot poster asking questions should stick with stock.
only luck I've had so far is with www.playon.tv . I'm on their 2 week free trial right now but considering the upgrade.

Nextbook Next7s Hacking

E-Fun's latest Android tablet is now on the shelf at BigLots. It's a $99 budget device running 4.0 ICS.
I tried to install Android Market (the easy way) and the app crashes. I take that means this tablet will require a little more work. Has anyone hacked it yet?
I am also interested in knowing how to get Gapps to work on this as well...just purchased mine on the 27th at Big Lots too for the $89.99 special, been trying all apk's with no luck..keeps on crashing when clicking it.
When I sent a note to E Fun asking if there were any plans to update and add Google support, the response was:
This is not an issue we can change. Like the majority of tablets on the market Google will not grant a licenses to use their app market. The tablets are designed to work with third party Android apps sites where you can still download Android apps, the only difference is it's from a different website.​
Of course I sent them a list of bunches of budget tablets that come with access...
I don't have the technical savvy to create the necessary mods -- but if anybody out there is interested, and there's anything I can do to assist, please let me know! With access to the google apps, this would be one sweet little tablet for the price!
I found this but it is for the next7 ...shouldn't be much different, or so I'd think...I will give it a try I suppose.

I'm pretty sure that was written for Gingerbread, not ICS. The last couple of posts kind of imply that it didn't work on the Next7S.
Your right...besides not finding the USB drives anywhere (as I cannot get the sdk's to work on it) I tried to uploading the files then install and cannot get some of the apks to install, like the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk & GoogleServicesFramework.apk all others installed fine. With no luck on keeping the market from crashing boo! I am sure someone will be able to come up with something in due time, I hope.
Look at freaktab.com - Finless Bob has cooked a rooted rom with Google app,Super user and /system mounted r/w.
The download includes all neccessary instructions, files and utility - including driver - for Next7s. There is one clarification that I think will help... To get into the download / flash mode you need to hold down on volume rocker so that BOTH (volume up | down)switches are activated.
Thanks SO MUCH Moonpie! This has worked! With no problems and coming from me I always flub up something but the directions were very nicely typed out.
Try this blissb2599, only problem I am having is quiet a bit of apps are not compatible like my banking ... facebook, but I have an apk for facebook, old version but works lol...
Great to here reddtessa! Sorry to hear about apps not working. Maybe there will be some tweaks in future.

It's days like this that I feel somewhat challenged... I'm not seeing the Next7S ROM. Would one of you kind people point me in the right direction? I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but I'm just not seeing it...
EDIT: Yup, it was right in front of my face. Got it, installed it. Loving it!
Glad you found it..took me a min as well to find.

In case anybody else is having a hard time it's here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread....Cream-Sandwich-Finless-ROM-1-2-Root-and-Gplay
Thanks for the link. I just picked up a 7s for my kid yesterday after the Next5 we got him originally quit working. I DLed the Play store APK and was like OMG-WTH every time it kicked us out. The Next5 came rooted (out of a sealed box) and had no issues with Google Play from a standard APK. If you guys have this working on the Next7s (YF031 serial) then I'll flash it.
One thing I find hysterical is on the box it states it is a Capacitive Screen, but my kid used his generic plastic stylus (intended for an older Nintendo DS) and it worked! I even tried a pencil eraser and it worked too. Does that make this a hybrid Capacitive/Resistive screen then?
****Update, I got clarification in the other thread on the two different versions of the rom. All is well, the tablet is now rooted, and is running Google Play on the Finless Rom. Very happy with how quick it was to do as well. Thanks again for the link!
Please help!

google plays store on chinese mid tablet

I recently purchased a mid tablet off of amazon that shipped to me from china. It came with the goolge play store but it looks like it has been limited. when I open the play store it does not appear with any of the books movies or music that it usually has on other devices. I'm running 4.0.3 but some apps like chrome show up as "not compatible with this device", and there are many more like that. Some wont even show up in the search. I thought it might be a different version of the play store so I tried installing a different apk that I found, and that did nothing. I also tried going to the browser to use the store but the device is blacked out. Then I figured I would try to root the tablet, however I can't seem to find any drivers for it. I have read that changing the device name in build.prop folder can fix this but with being able to get root access I can't even try this.
Can someone help me find the drivers for this? It is a parkly rk2906.
Or maybe a different way to to get root.
Am I on the right track trying to change the device name or is there some thing else I should try?
I tried posting a link to amazon here but I'm new to the forum so they won't let me. If u would like it let me know and ill pm it to u.
I know a bit about android but I'm still pretty much a noob thanks in advance for ur help.
same issue

I am having the EXACT same issue. Chinese tablet (Ainol Novo 7 Advanced - II) with ICS 4.0.3 but Google Play wont let me download ICS apps because it thinks my device is incompatible.

[Q] best way to root Motorola ultra 4.4.4

Hi. Sorry if this has been answered, but I need help rooting my Motorola ultra phone. Normally I'd look up stuff like this on YouTube, but haven't found anything close to being semi easy. I have a galaxy tab 2 that I was able to root, and still works today, so I can follow basic instructions, just need to be pointed in the right direction. Included is a snapshot of my phone info, hope it can help. All I really want to do is use titanium backup to create multiple profiles for games I play, like I did on my tablet

This root method was just discovered. It's somewhat tricky but works; however system partition remains locked, so no installing an alternate recovery for roms, etc.
