[Q] how to get full market - G Tablet General

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

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.

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!

Paid Apps Disappearing

So between flashes I started backing up my apps to the sd by using the AppControl app. Worked like a charm–no problems. So after flashing a new ROM, and installing the apps I had backed up, package installer had issue with a few, and said it couldnt install, even though they were apps I had on my previous system, and were fully paid for. So now im thinking, no problem, ill just go to the market and re-DL them...and this is where it gets strange, but the actual listing for the apps that I had problems with no longer show up in the market for me. I mean, they really dont show up. I have searched by name, scanned QR codes and went to the dev's other apps and went to the visit more apps link. Even stranger is that one of the apps that didnt install and is now gone (nesoid) is made by the same guy that made an app that did (Snesoid). When i go to view just his apps, Snesoid shows as installed, but I just get the listing for nesoid lite, no nesoid at all.
Any ideas?
The only thing i can think of is if you flashed an ADP1 which you cant see paid apps with.
On a side note i dont think this belongs in development more like QA
I'm having a similar but probably unrelated issue. I went to use I tweet! today only to notice its no longer installed on my phone. Neither is Hello IM, which I paid for. They show up as installed in the market, but when I open the market listing, both the open and uninstall buttons are greyed out.
I tried repairing the ext partition using the cyanogen recovery, no effect. Movies by flixster is also missing, and I'm sure there's probably more that I haven't noticed. These apps are not in the manage apps settings, so I can't uninstall them. I do have nesoid still, as well as many other paid apps.
I think my sdcard is just dying, but wonder if anyone else has experienced this as of late?

Anyone with the knowledge to help with this is going to be a dev type. Thats why I posted here.
If it was a problem with just the rom it should have been solved by flashing to a different version which i did. I have tried this on 2 versions of eclair and 1 donut.

New Market working on GTab

FYI, got the new market working on my gtab. I used the update.zip found in the Nexus forums.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9741682&postcount=56
..sorry bout the pic, can't get my screenshot app working

Wow... It looks like it was redesigned for landscape screens... Like tablets. I like it. Was the update automatic?
I had to apply the update

Sorry, I think I misunderstood- you were asking the same question. Me duh.
I have not done the Build.prop edit and I can find everything I search for, but after I update I had to do the basic market fix again.
Also I used the update file and flashed with clockwork mod
Nice interface, but not the full market. Games like Tank Hero and other apps still do not show up.
Update:
Seems the graphics are broken, since stars for apps are cut off and no button options to actually update the apps.
Something is wrong with this app in relation to the Gtablet and at least TnT 2.20.
Looks like I will be restoring with clockwork, since this app appears borked as far as interface.
Did you folks actually try to update or download an app?
Update 2:
OK, the tiny cut-off line above the uninstall icon bar is what you press. Just have to be precise to press it, but it works. Press it twice.

Confirmed, couldn't find Tank Hero though it shows up on a search. To be honest, I'm not sure if it showed up prior to me updating the market. Was that game available on the original market fix? I'll try applying the market hack to see if there's any difference, but so far all the apps I've looked for have been able to be downloaded. May pull the trigger on Pinball Ride as I'm hooked on that game. Since I just did an update, all my apps remained so I haven't had to reinstall any.
I've downloaded quite a few apps. D/L'd about 4 screenshot apps til i realized they don't work on the tab.

Never has showed up and can not even mine that app from my Incredible's Titanium back-up. First app that errors out when trying to unzip. Copy protection?

What in the name of Zod is LocalTryTry?

This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weatherwondered the samething. just looked on the market page. It says in the url com.asus.weather. thanks for making me look.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

Clearing Google Market Info

May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

That's OK mate! I'll find a way I'm sure
Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!
EDIT: OK, sign into your Google Dashboard and you can see what's backed up and when but you CANNOT delete it. Why the hell not?!?!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

They're all from the Market, but I'll try the TI option, thanks
EDIT: I'm not paying for an app I'll never use, but thanks anyway. Funny how the old Market never had this issue. just the new one
Haha yes yes I agree old market was fantastic
Yes i do try before I buy if I like the app then buy

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!
Yh I did it I was playing around and now I have like 20 updates but can't update them.as there ermmmm not from Google

I'm just glad to have it sorted, was doing my nut in! At least now everything is cleared and setup from scratch so hopefully won't have to complain again. Still think Google should have the option

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!
