Quick newb question. Need a simple answer so i can do market fix

I installed the performance pack that goes with the stock tnt 3389 last night.
I am ready to do the market fix, i have read the instructions and am good to go.
Just one problem, i was a long time iphone user and do not have an android market account. All three of the "how to" guides on here remind me that i need to have that done first.
I did a search around the web on how to set up an android market account and saw a few things that seeem to indicate you set it up by launching the market app on your android device....since i have no such device, how do i set up my market account so i can start the market fix?
Sorry, i am an INCREDIBLE newb i realize.
Thanks in advance for the help.

My market account is my Gmail address and password which I had before I had an android phone. Have you set up a Gmail account and then tried to enter that info when setting up the market

Yeap.
When i run the fix it goes like this.
1) Run the fix
2) Launch Market
3) Market launches google services framework and asks me to sign in
4) I get an error message that my device does not have proper connectivity.
I have confirmed my gmail id and password are correct.
Ok, thanks for the answer.
At this point it seems i am messing up step or two while applying the fix outlined in the 3389 Performance pack thread.
Ill try it a few more times and then its Off to install titanium back up and try that method!

if you are prompted to login to google services framework after doing the market fix, you are not doing the fix correctly - you must be logged into google services framework before doing the market fix

Try a reboot after you do the market fix, I had the same issue with it saying you don't have a proper connection, i rebooted, got that message again, tried to get in market a couple times and then it worked.
As for a market account, yes you sign in with your gmail account, if you don't have one, i think you can sign up for one when doing the market setup.

Are you sure your WiFi is enabled and connected?

Well..
Last night i was using the hotel wi-fi and i was able to stream from tv.com so i assumed my connection was working.
Today i am at the hospital.
i have something new to report...it TOOK my gmail and password and moved to the next step (finally).
However i am greeted with a solid white screen and the word "loading" with a little loading animation next to it. This was on a FRESH boot up, and the loading screen/animation has been going on for about 5 minutes.... (attempting to do the first step in the fix which is to run market)...

Attached screenshot.
I aborted after this went on for 15 minutes.
Launched the market a SECOND time and...viola. It came up.
Ran the fix.
Rebooted
Connected to the wi fi
Ran the market
Got a server error.
Closed market
Ran the market AGAIN.
It is working now.
Lets chalk this one up to connectivity issues going on in the back ground while i was running the fix!
I am good now.
Hey everyone thanks for your help with my initial question and guiding me along the way so that i knew i wasn't out in left field some where!

Happy now.

The new Market looks sweet on our GTablets!
Full-screen in landscape is awesome (many of the apps on mine also go to fullscreen on it).
I just wish I could get TV.com on here somehow. It doesn't show up in the Market and I have no idea where the [.apk]s are in my Nexus One (or on my GTablet either, I'd love to get Swiftkey Pro as my keyboard).

I am able to watch tv pretty good on tv.com using the web site.
Hulu is still a project i am working on...right after getting MS exchange to work and picking out a favorite browser. (not sure about this dolphon, although do like gesture. does xscope do gesture as well?).

[Q] [HOW] Yahoo Messenger with video call

I tried the latest Vegan and CM 6.2 ROMS and I wasn't able to install a working official Yahoo Messenger with the video call.
I also force install it by downloading the APK of the yahoo messenger and the video call update apk. It installed but it didn't work.
I want to know if this will work since I still have time to return this g-tablet to Sears.
PS: what's the best Facebook app with widget support for the g-tab?

I was able to install Messenger and the video plugin from market this weekend, no problem.
Fyi, on Gtab-to-pc calls the video on the pc end was rotated 90 degrees.

I was able to install yahoo messenger just fine through the market. I just tested video calling and the PC user was able to see me just fine with no rotation issue. I'm using vegan b5.1 which also has the gsensor fix. I wonder if that fixes the rotation issue people may be having.

Hi,
That's both weird and good news ...
As mentioned above, I was on stock 3053 at the time, no gsensor fix, so it's possible what you said.
There's a thread under Apps about video calling:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882637&highlight=video
and can I suggest you post that info there? Seemed like a few people interested in it.

I tried..
I can't see the official yahoo messenger app on the market so I downloaded the apks online instead.. I Installed them. I lauched it but then it says that the app is outdated and it redirected me to the market but that link to the market wont show anything since not all apps will show on the gtab.
Didn't work on CM6.2 either.

Sounds like you need to do the market fix. Yahoo messengers is one of the apps I check to verify if the market fix was applied correctly or not.

I thought market is fixed once I install third party ROM such as vegan or CM.

Problem Solved!
Part Three – Install Flash and fix Android Market
This is needed to view websites with Flash based content, and to download apps from the market. (Fairly obvious, I know, but just in case somebody doesn't know.) Log in/set up your Google Account before trying the market fix (steps vary on the ROM you are using…in most cases you can access the web accounts by opening the Contacts app, pressing the menu button (the one above the back button), and selecting accounts).
Step 1.
Download “Adobe Flash Player 10.1.120.1.apk” which you will find attached at the bottom of this post and save it on your tablet (I recommend creating a separate folder to save .apk files in).
Step 2.
On your tablet open up whatever file explorer comes pre-installed with the ROM you’ve selected. In there, open up where you saved your .apk, then select Adobe Flash Player, and follow the on screen instructions to finish installing that.
Step 3.
Open the Market app. Once it loads close it (press the home button).
Step 4.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Google Services Framework – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 5.
Go into Settings – Applications – Manage Applications – Market – Force Stop – Clear Data
Step 6.
Go back to your home screen and open up the market. You should get an error. If not, redo steps 3 and 4 until you do.
Step 7.
Reboot your device. After it starts back up let it sit for a minute or two to let things in the operating system normalize. Open the Market. Reboot your device.
Step 8.
Open the market again and enjoy. You now have Flash and the Android Market. (Keep in mind, this is not the FULL market, it just makes around 99% of it available. It is unknown which apps are not available. There is a full market fix, but it is MUCH more complicated).

I followed this and everything is working fine now...
Thank for the help..
-- just clicked all the "THANKS" button!

Although I applied the market fix previously. I searched for yahoo messenger again on the market and didnt find it. I had to reapply the fix once again for it to show.

After the awesome fix POST # 11... the Gtab with the latest TnT and unlock market worked for a day and started me giving pop up errors every app click/open.. The virtual keyboard isn't showing up also. I got pissed and returned it to Sears..
Now CES 2011 is showing me so many cool honeycomb tablets, it must be a blessing in disguise.

New gTab and questions

My wife surprised me last night and took me out to get my gTab a week early! I brought it home and charged it, played with the default installed for a bit, and as we all know...it was awful. I proceeded to install VEGAn b5.1.1, that went as smooth as one could want...15 minutes and I was chugging along on a MUCH better/faster interface. The issue I am seeing now is there are certain apps (not Angry Birds) that aren't showing in the Market. I can't seem to find ADW Launcher, Facebook or Launcher Pro. Any thoughts on this? I cleared the cache and user data when I did the install so I don' think there should be any lingering issues there.
Thanks
Scott

When they are talking about clearing the cache and data for the Market fix, they are talking about clearing it for that app and not the full cache/data wipe when installing the ROM.
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then select the All tab, scroll to find Google Services Framework and Market. You clear the data/cache of those and force stop them. Back out to the main home screen and try to access the Market again. It should error out....reboot the device and after it boots...just wait for a few minutes. Try the Market again...it should ask you to accept it's terms again and hopefully show you more apps then before.
It's just one of those things with having a device that isn't supported by Google and hacking the Market to work.
LauncherPro is one I've seen appear and disappear in the available apps on my Gtablet running VEGAn 5.1. Without real Google support, even tricks and hacks can only go so far.
Luckily for me, I have a Motorola Droid and use that to grab anything my tablet doesn't see and then push it to my Dropbox account and get it from there for my tablet.
Most things I can see with all the Market fixes, do-overs and what not. My test being LauncherPro....saw it once...then it never appeared again after many "fix" attempts. That particular app is also available from the developers site ( http://www.launcherpro.com/ ).
This (using Dropbox) really works well since my other tablet will not boot so once I nvflash boot it....it needs to stay on. Market fixes (requiring a reboot, etc..) aren't possible, so Dropbox has been awesome for that tablet.

Two things that may help
Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Also, This video really worked for me with getting full market (roughly 98.9% really) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related

i got this this morning at CVS for 79.99 with my employee discount, i thought for that price it would be worth trying out...thanks for this

thank you for this release I just bought one today and had to get it rooted ASAP lol. Even the market works. Thank you for the awesome release.

can you make a striped down version or better yet how are you removing those apps for example how do you get rid of the book club it keeps saying uninstall not sucessfull also i downloaded applanet 2.7.6 and it wont fully download stuff it will begin it and then stop and try to install a parshal package then saying theres a problem parsing the package

Just bought one this morning, cant wait to install this, but the drop box account says This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled, anyone able to mirror "CMP-738a-update-2011-01-26-rls4.img" Thanks!

Agreed, need alternate download sites plz!

Sorry Guys, Didn't expect that much traffic - DropBox temporarily suspended the account. Looking for a new home - will be done by tonight.
Shad

Why not try multiupload which sends it to 7 different hosters for instant mirroring? I see you already have release 5 being tested which rumor has it allows adb access. I won't ask for when you expect to release but am curious how smoothly the tests are going?

mirror for the img
hey heres a mirror for CMP-738a-update-2011-01-26-rls4.img
megaupload.com/?d=RV84C5SC
i also have rls3 if any one wants me to upload that one so how about the help on my post lol

megaupload.com/?d=6YPW8UNB
CMP-738a-update-2011-01-24-rls3.img

I literally went down the list and wiped data/cache for all the apps cause checkin service, download manager....anything with google in it and gmail were not doing it for me..but after wiping all of them and doing a reboot it finally worked for me and I've installed a dozen things since then like soundhound(recognize song app), palringo(instant messenger...does voice chat walkie talkie style), google voice
(free sms from tablet)....miren browser (in my opinion the best phone browser and ironically originally a chinese browser ported to english.) etc...be interested to see what yall consider must have tablet apps.
Bargaincell has a mini hdmi 6 foot cable as the daily special for $3.99 shipped @ http://www.bargaincell.com/bargaincell_daily_deal.html

cache
I had the same issue. It took a few cache wipes and reboots but it finally worked. Neat little gadget but it does have some draw backs, for it's price point not a terrible buy. Would like to see Honeycomb on it but not sure the CPU could handle it. Tried to find an overclocking app but none seem to recognize this chip.

Market worksss!! Can this be used to make calls via sipdroid?? GV?

Fantastic work...I grab one of these today at CVS for $100 just to play around with it. As my evo is my daily driver...got rooted with no issues. Having a bit of problems with the market but I am troubleshooting this via posts in this thread and on slate droid. Thanks for the great work!

[APP] Youtube Dogfood edition!

I was able to backup the Youtube dogfood developer edition that was pushed out OTA on 12.03.14. I was perplexed when I first noticed that the
app had a bone in the center. But with a little investigating I learned that there was nothing sinister afoot. Anyway I backed up the apk knowing
that Google would surely pull dogfood asap. I figured it would be a cool little novelty item and wanted to share it with anyone interested.
Here's an article about the mixup: http://goo.gl/oXZJH3
And if you want the Youtube dogfood edition, here it is: http://yadi.sk/d/eZoSxqMxKSkzm :cyclops:
To install:
1. Goto settings>apps>all
2. Scroll down and tap youtube
3. Then uninstall updates
4. Click ok to return to factory
5. Install dogfood edition!
[EDIT]
* If you want to keep your dogfood edition you have to turn off auto update for youtube in the playstore. Open up the
* playstore, find youtube, then tap the menu button in the upper right corner and uncheck auto update.

Like I said, I posted this as a novelty. It's nothing special except for the dog bone icon and exo options meant for Google internal testing. If it is not working for you, I suggest you use the latest YouTube app in the play store. Although, this version and that one are almost identical.
Good luck.
