[Q] Looking for someone to install google apps - G Tablet General

I received the G Tablet as a Christmas present. I did the OTA update this weekend and the tablet is definitly working better then what it was when I first took it out of the box. But I would like to have the full power of the Android OS (talk, mail, marketplace). I am not sure how to flash the rom. I have found some of the files in the Forums, but not sure how to install them. I am looking for someone in the Atlanta, Georgia area that could possibly do this for me.
Thanks
Nick

Enhancement pack
to make the gtablet fly you don't need to do a full ROM. go to the android developers form. look for the thread called enhancement pack (started by rothnic). it's a simple zip file that you extract or copy to the gtablet internal sd card. all the instructions are at that site.

Switch on it with pressing the menu button and the home button until displaying the penguin.
So, the screen will be in maintenance menu.
You can try to download from slatedroid forum the image for the tablet. But you need to open the tablet, as its "flash" is a microSD card and you need to flash using a card reader.

I purchased one of these a few days ago. Pretty solid performance, though there are some quirks (mostly due to premature software). Likewise, really hoping there is some takeup and development on these units.
I'm a new poster, so I can't post links, but I have written up a review (with Quadrant benchmarks) and also had a look inside the unit (with pics) in my teardown, which should be the latest articles on my site in my signature.

Speed is good, as Apad Andriod 2.2 8' (nice big), 512mb RAM, 800 MHZ CPU. play games are good.
But a lot of apps not able to install on it, not sure why, Market apk(not installable), Facebook apk installed but crash during start up, XDA apk crash all the time, very limited /data/apps disk space, apps2SD do works, but does not help much of reducing disk space usage of /data volume.
I wish there are a scripts from old android 2.1 version of a2sd, relink /data/apps -> SD card.
My old Huawei U8220 2.1 + custom ROM apps2sd link works better than this 2.2, although slow.
Do not try to sell firmware on XDA. Read the forum rules please
To androidtouchpc,
I paid twice to download touch8 firmware, however the file was ~640MB size, it was not easy to download over internet.
Both download was failure, and you download session has expired me, I end up paid you twice via paypal, but do not get my product deliever.
To all users in XDA user, be careful with this androidtouchpc.com. I send many email to them, but never get responsed back.
I loss twice payment with no purchased.

black pandigital novel w/barebones firmware

i flashed my black PDN and now have the basic android..i want to add more apps etc. there is no market..i put some apk's on the sd card but dont really know where to go from there.. since the flash, when i connect usb, it can't find driver for the device, but i can see the device in Explorer... i dropped apk's on the device main folder too, but nothing.. i read somewhere to get Panda Home, so i went to the website to download pc suite, and after the download, it was detected as a virus..i feel like i am close to getting this to be what i wanted it to be..any help would be appreciated!
I picked up one of these and am pretty much in the same boat. My best way of getting the apk's onto the device was install dropbox, then i just dump the apk's into that folder on my pc, then open the dropbox app on the novel. I've been able to put lastpass, kindle app, etc on it that way. I'm not sure on the market, still looking around for something that lets you do that...
Will be getting a 9" version of this at Christmas, (supposed to be a surprise) and will be reporting back on it as soon as I can tinker with it. Hopefully with a file browser like ASTRO you can install the .APK'S with minimal problems. If you can even get that on there.
any chance you can link me the kindle version you installed that works i cant seem to get any to install
Got dropbox too and works great to transfer apk's to the novel. Also been using a couple of sites like www.slideme.org and www.androidpit.com both of these have android apps that work great to get some (not all) market apps on your device. Still looking for a custom rom for the 9" version though.

3.0 Honeycomb Release, and a Lazy Saturday Morning

Good morning fellow Androidians! (i like the sound of that )
This has been a VERY exciting and adventurous morning for me! I have been researching the Android 3.0 Honeycomb SDK release built for the Motorola Xoom, and I have spend all this morning installing it to my Nook! To my surprise, it worked well, actually, AMAZINGLY well.
After the install, I had the Android Market, Google Maps, YouTube, and with logging in to my google account, I could download ANY android app that a normal Android device could.
And here is the best part.
I have ADOBE FLASH 10.2 working! Yes! Just downloaded the .APK in the browser, and voila, installed and working great!
Now some may ask, how did you install it? Rosenbaa29, HOW did you do it? Actually, it was fairily difficult, but if my father and I could do it, anyone can
These are the directions written by Will Shanklin, all credit goes to him.
***NOTE: HONEYCOMB CAN NOW BE INSTALLED TO YOUR NOOK'S INTERNAL MEMORY TOO. SEE THIS THREAD FOR INSTRUCTIONS. THIS THREAD IS FOR SD CARD INSTALLATION.
* UPDATE 2/8 MORE FIXES:
(quoted from dev's thread)
"v04 - 02/07/2011
increased touchscreen sensitivity and made touchscreen more usable close to the borders (kernel change)
fixed heap size issue to get much more programs running (e.g. nook app, kindle app, etc.)"
Those updating from the previous version, see updating section at bottom
Here's how to get Honeycomb running on your Nook Color right now.
Credit to dev deeper-blue (Rafael Brune) whose thread can be found here: Android 3.0 Honeycomb Image - xda-developers
1. Download the image:
nookhoney04.img.zip
Torrent: nookhoney04.img.zip (might be faster than either of the above options - of course you'll need a torrent client like bittorrent)
Unzip the image onto your computer using WinRAR on PC, or or Stuffit Expander (on Mac).
2. Get an SD card, at least 4GB.
Some had problems with 4GB cards, others said the image stalled burning, but then it worked anyway. Worth a try, but larger than 4GB, you should be fine.
3A. PC Users:
- The usual program for this, Win32DiskImager, isn't working with this large file. So download WinImage, and under 'Disk' choose "Restore Virtual Image to Physical Drive." Change the files shown at the bottom to "all files" and select the file.
On Mac:
3B. Mac Users:
- Open a terminal window
-Find which drive the sd card is mapped to: type in the terminal this:
diskutil list
- Be very careful to identify the SD card and not your hard disk. Be VERY careful.
- Now unmount that drive typing this:
diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk#
(My computer is was disk2 replace # with your number. Do NOT use the disk#s)
The computer should say: Unmount of all volumes on disk was successful
Type:
dd if=nookhoney04.img of=/dev/rdisk# bs=1m
Everything needed should copy right over to the card.
4. Power down your Nook, insert the microSD card, and it should boot into Honeycomb!!!!!!
Installing the Android Market on the Nook Color running Honeycomb:
1. Download this version of the Market (2.2.11).
2. Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk.
3. Place the files in your adb tools folder (or platform-tools on the newer version - wherever adb.exe is)
4. Open a command prompt in that folder, and issue the following commands:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 /system
adb push Vending.apk system/app/Vending.apk
adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
adb shell
cd system/app
chmod 6755 Vending.apk
chmod 6755 GoogleServicesFramework.apk
exit
adb reboot
Then go to apps, open the market, sign in. If the Market won't open at first, reboot and try again.
**Overclock instructions greyed out until new kernels are confirmed working with the new update**
Overclocking Honeycomb to 1.1GHz (might work, might not, might work then stop working):
Credit goes to dalingrin, his thread: [FYI]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
1. Download uImage (extract the uImage file somewhere on your computer)
2. If you haven't yet booted Honeycomb, skip to 4. If you've already booted it, see 3.
3. With the Nook booted into Honeycomb, connect via adb, and issue the following:
adb shell
cd data/dalvik-cache
rm *
exit
. . . and then power off your Nook immediately, without opening any apps. It's probably best to power it off with a hard reset (hold power down 10-15 seconds).
4. Remove the SD card, and place it back in an SD reader.
5. Open the folder (it should say boot) and make a copy of that uImage file on your computer. If you discover later on that the overclocking kernel doesn't work, simply replace the new one with this original that you're backing up now.
6. Now replace it with the uImage folder you downloaded earlier. Reboot, and enjoy the overclock!
Updating
To preserve much of your data, first, you'll need to root. See our stickied root Honeycomb on the Nook thread. This has nothing to do with whether the Barnes & Noble ROM is rooted or not on your Nook.
Now, while still on version 2, do a complete backup with Titanium backup.
Then, open a command prompt in your adb folder and enter the following:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1 /
adb pull sdcard/[path to your adb folder, such as c:/sdk/tools/]/honeysd
Then update to v2 by the procedure above. Then root again by the procedure in that thread.
Now open another command prompt in the same place:
adb shell mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk1 /
adb push [path to your adb folder]/honeysd/ sdcard/
Then restore apps in Titanium Backup (one at a time, starting with your most essential apps is recommended. This is still an early build and some apps can causes crashes).
You should have all your apps now!
Features currently not working:
- not much to mention - lets play with this new update and see . . .
***note that you may need to turn your screen off/on once after every reboot to avoid touchscreen lag (much like w/Nookie Froyo)"
Have a great week, and if you have ANY questions or comments, let us know on this forum!
Wow great effort! A few more links to where we can download these files would help.
Although... I don't have a nook Tablet so do you think this will work on other tablets too?
Specifically the elonex e-touch 10
http://direct.asda.com/Elonex-eTouc...-Music-10gb-storage/000505981,default,pd.html
The specs are;
1024X600 Pixel screen
Android 2.1 (Upgrade to 2.2 out)
1GHZ Processor
256MB Ram
The ram seems a little low but seen as its cough *cheap*.... I couldn't say no!

You definitely have the specs to support honeycomb. Currently, the eTouch 10 runs android 2.1, but I will definitely figure out how to get a 3.0 release for it.
The Nook is a total iPad alternative, especially if we get an extremely stable android release for it, even if its only Gingerbread. How long have you had your tablet? What do you think about it?

I've ordered and paid for it, I just need to pick it up in the store. Its supposed to be delivered in 3-5 days. So Tuesday hopefully.
Theres actually a fair amount of folks that have bought it.
http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/zenithink-zt180-10-generation-1/v
Unfortunately there is no app/rom development for it due to lack of support (Maybe as its just been released in the UK). I've been looking at support for similar spec tablets (Galaxy Tab ect) its just a question of whether it'll all work.
If we can get honeycomb working for it, it could be huge on XDA. A £129 tablet that has Honeycomb... yes please! And seen as your from the US it should come to Wal-Mart at some point (ASDA is owned by Wal-Mart).
Anyway, yeah any support would be greatly appreciated.

ok.... question from a lurker here....first of all, as a newer owner of Android OS, (an unREVOKED, rooted Evo), I'm trying to help my dad with his new "gadget"... it's a 7" tablet, google iRobot that came from China and has andoid 3.0 Even when he attempts to download from the installed App Market (not a true version of Android Market it seems...) most apps tell him there is no phone associated with the account... AppBrain doesn't work either.... any method or resource that would be useful to him? Most of the icons on the device mimic Apple's, such as the Safari, Settings, etc...
He's 60... trying to download card games, etc lol... any and all help would be appreciated!

The thing is, you need to log into market with your google information on an android phone to activate "android market" on your specified google account, then you can use that google email to access any android features that may later come. Does that make sense?

The thing is for me, I already have my droid pro on verizon, so I can access the market on my nook as long as I use the same email that I used on my droid. So see if you can use a friends phone. You would need to back it up, then do a settings_>privacy->factory reset on it. Then when it starts back up, enter your gmail account information and download at least one app from the market. then he can do the factory reset on it and put on his old email and information again. Let me knwo if that is a possibility for you.

[Q] How to share the Nvidia Tegra SDK ...it's 73MB

It was frustrated for me to do the NVFlash because I couldn't find it after hours of searchs and attemps. And finally I found the developers.nvidia.com/tegra URL (actually their web site) is very highly unreliable, it's been up & down but I managed to download the Nvidia Tegra 250 SDK.
Thus, I was able to do NVFlash for my ViewSonic Gtablet. Why I wanted to do NVFlash - it was because of my stupidity, I rooted the Gtablet with TNTLite 2.0 and the ViewSonice Tablet internal SD storage was partitioned as 3GB for Kernel & 13GB for user access. And so as you all know, we will lose the access to the root doesn't matter Z4root, Rootexplorer ..etc I wasn't able to do anything except staying on TNT Lite 2.0 for 2 days until I found NVFlash method (even the ViewSonic 3rd party support guy doesn't even know about "What NVFlash is")
After all, I'd like to share the SDK with anyone been looking to download so can move on the NVFlash method of ViewSonic Tablet. Anyone knows any other share method to upload the big SDK here? it is 73MB
Thx,
rcjpth
If youd like i can upload it to my personal webserver and can give you link to share where ever youd lile.
Thanks, but I would like to publish to the Internet since everything I learn since I bought Gtablet is Internet sharing - must do something to contribute the power of sharing -
Anyway you can download this msi package from NVIDA developers site but it is very highly unreliable - if lucky you can download it otherwise it takes days to find the download source!
I need NvFlash too
why not upload it to a free service like rapidshare or filesonic?

[Q] Google,Motorola n developers doesn't make an update to write/delete in sd card.

All i want is to create office files, edit, save the edition and delete those files or other type of files, such as music, photos, anything. I can't do it, in the motorola foruns they told me xoom is a ged, google developers made some sort of lock, an api is missing or something, and xoom will never let me do this in the sd card unless i root. I tryed to root onde and bricked it, i lost lotta money trying to fixed it. If would exist some root program such as Universal androot to xoom and other android devices i'll gladly root and unroot my device. For now i'm hating it. I should buy an Acer Iconia or asus trasformer 1, but i didn't know by that time that xoom has this stupid thing in it, if i knew i would never buy it, now i don't know what to do. gmanapps from Xoom forum in motorola told me to use sdcardxd, but i can't buy it, i don't have credit card, and other ppl told me it won't work, even tryed to delete files with File Manager HD but no success.
with File Manager HD, you can delete media file (pics, movies, music), you can not delete other files. It really makes no sense going from forum to forum asking or complaining about the same thing. Either sell your device and get something that can do what you want or just deal with it.

[Q] Google,Motorola n developers doesn't make an update to write/delete in sdcard.
I am not sure what make and model of Xoom you currently have; however, I have the original Motorola Xoom 1 WiFi + 3G. I then sent my xoom back to motorola to be 4G upgraded in October 2011. At that time i was ibviously running Honeycomb. Short time later, i backed up everything and simply unlocked my Xoom..... (Different that root). Although I did end up rooting later when I discovered all the incredable upgrades and controls you get with rooting, I am and did confirm full read and write to and from my external sdcard without problems.
If you are convinced to not root (Even though you can unroot anytime you wish, then look me up and I will gladly work with you to get you were you want / need to be. It's much-much easier than you would think.
