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.

I'm looking for the barebones firmware for a black pandigital novel 7inch tablet, anyone have that file or know where I can find it. Unable to up to this point. It was running eclair before updating it, update was terrible. Thanks.
If you have more than one Gameloft game (which is easy when they are buy one get one at $2.99), you've probably run into the problem of not having enough space on your tiny 8GB internal SD. I personally have been fighting with ~200mbs free for the past few weeks and its been annoying me, so I decided I wanted to "fix" the problem, at least till Gameloft gets together and adds an option of where to download the app data.
My first idea was some sort of syslink or bind mount at boot between the Internal and External SD, but while I was researching this I ran into this "convertor" which modifies the apk file to install the game data to the external SD card.
Create the folder called GL on your external SD and the game data from your main folder (sdcard/gameloft/games) copy to "external SD/Gl"

I am still looking for a better solution that doesnt require EVERY apk to be modified, so if you good w/ scripts or can think of a way similar to my original idea, please let me know.
Check it out and leave your feedback

EDIT: Confirmed working on NOVA 2 and Shadow Guardian. You MUST copy all the game data to /_ExternalSD/GL/ (make sure to remove the "games" folder if it's there, all the data needs to be in the "GL" folder. Also, confirmed it only works on games purchased from Gameloft's website, not the Android market versions.
This is how your GL folder should look on your External SD if you run ls in terminal:
ls /sdcard/_ExternalSD/GL:
GloftN2HP
asphalt6
GloftBPHM
GloftSGHP
nova

works great... except with Starfront.
EDIT: looks like starfront works.. just needed wifi to verify the files
Damn, what the hell are the people who buy the Sensation going to do when they only have a measly 1GB for appdata?
having a hard time downloading that file. It isnt working for me. I need this
People w/ the sensation are screwed and r gonna need to create scripts to move stuff SD. I successfully patched all 4 of my Gameloft games and they are working fine. Just make sure you put them in the right folder (see OP). No issues downloading the one-click patcher, but I'll see if I can get another link.
Despite this working well, Id still like to figure out a way to syslink or bind mount the gameloft folders on Internal and external sd.
EDIT: Posted mirror link in OP. Enjoy!
I did this and it worked perfectly (thanks btw!!) but all my saved game data and progress is gone this is for Dungeon Hunter 2 HD
guys - im having a problem with Data but not sure if its different - any time i download the gameloft data via wifi to my 32GB SDCard - the game crashes after the gameloft logo and asks to download the data when you restart (even if the data is already there)

Im not really sure where the save games are stored for Gameloft games. Glad to hear it works, but please let me know if you resolve this issue.

I would double-check that the folders are set up properly. it is case sensitive, so be careful. I layout exactly how the folders should be arranged in the OP. Another thing u can check is have it download SOME of the game data, and go and find it. It may help you track down the issue, (like folders arrange incorrectly). Hope that helps!
i tried to launch the program but it crashes after loading.. this is so frustrating.. i feel like going back to HTC (never had this level of problems)

This has nothing to do w/ the manufacturer of your phone. We are essentially "hacking" these games to trick it into using the external SD. You would have this exact same issue, on say, the newly releases HTC Sensation (if not worse because of the lack of space on the Internal SD). Also, I just want to point out that I doubt this will work on "cracked" apks for Gameloft, so those may cause crashes as well.
Im not very fond of hacking each APK to work, as it will eventually cause issues, and this would best be solved by syslinking or bind mounting the two folders between the internal and external SD card. Unfortunately, I dont have enough background knowledge to write the script from scratch, as it requires some kernel modification, and would have to be unique to each phone.
cm7 by default installs your games to the sdcard, but if you want your games to install on internal storage i have attached a config file that goes in /system/etc make sure to back up old one first, ps i dont know the site i got the infop off of and the re done config file it isnt my work im just letting people know here ill post in a second post since its on my phone and im using a computer
never mind found the website for the info:

Do you have any strange side effects from using it? Did it require any modification to the files from the other thread to be used on the G2x?
I'm using trinity kernel and it was just a matter of changing fstab so no
G2x pwned, cm7 (trinity) killer combo "density 190"

Hmm, Ill have to give it a shot?
EDIT: This DOESNT work when using the files from the other thread, as it mentions its specifically for the i9003. Tried it and both SD cards cant be seen. It may need to be modified, as I looked at both files and they are completely different.
Its basically the reverse ill post the fstab file when I get home the 1 for external storage it wont let me attach from my phone so got to wait till I get home

Okay, I used the changed from the Samsung version and modified our vold.fstab to mount the partitions properly. Give the attached vold.fstab file a shot and see if it works. Seems to work for me Please post your feedback.
Backup your original vold.fstab file (its in /system/etc).
ADB push this file to /system/etc after mounting it as R/W (u can do it in terminal but I use the app Remount)
Reboot
Check SD "layout" in Settings
EDIT: Seems you cant mount either SD card as MASS storage after switching files :/. Anyone w/ experience feel like chiming in?

Dont try the vold method. Use the APK Patcher in the OP and please post your results .
I have not been as successful as I originally thought, as some of the games refuse to work
Nova 2 works great, but Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, Asphault 6, Nova, and the Shadow (forgot the name) crash after loading the main menu.

Sorry if this is off-topic but I'd really like to know if there's a way to do this.
I recently finished the Galaxy on Fire 2 storyline on easy and wanted to replay it on the hard setting (yes, I think it is THAT good )
So I started the game and in between I reflashed the newest version of Prime, having previously backed all up with TB.
Sadly (I have no clue why) TB failed on me and the folder was empty, fortunately I had also backed up the Android data folder on the internal SD where the GOF2 save files were so I copied them back... to my surprise the game saves were on the easy setting again!!!
So here's the question, does anyone know of a way to modifying the save files to set the game to hard without starting all over?
Thanks
So, after countless hours of searching and trying many ways to install some of my favorite games from my bionic to my tab, I had found 0 luck. (Completely stock tab and phone, Free games just not compatible) I stumbled on something interesting though:
The ES FIle explorer allows you to back up apps on your phones sd card! So, with that said, I did that... plug my phone into my PC, copied the backup file, drag and droped onto my tab, and boom, it worked! No longer do I have to play my games in a foreign language! I have only tried 2, but had success with the game working and I have to head off to work...
The one down side is, the backup is for a phone sized GUI, so I did run into some control problems, but Im sure this could be remedied i *think* by using another compatible tab device, backing it up on that tab, then repeating the process! (IE.., Moto Xoom, w/e 10.1" tab) My wife just so happens to have a xoom, so I shall try it out and report back in a day or two!
Just wanted to share!
The backup isn't for a phone sized gui, the app is. Each app has settings for all the resolutions it supports...
Hi guys
is it possible to take my own GTA:SA save game that I still have on my PC and copy them to my android in some way that this will work?
I already tried it, I put my save game files (GTASAsf1.b) in: /sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstargames.gtasa/files/
but when I open the game and look at the list of available saved games, there is nothing there! of course I did a backup to my current Game progress before I tried it...
Well, I guess the way each of the games are saved has changed since we are talking about different platforms...
anyway, Is there a way to make it work?
Thanks,
hmm... I installed GTA:VC to try the same thing and no luck...
and yes, I've got all my GTA savegames backed up from PC
