installed 4349 today....had some minimal trouble with this hack when installing mybackup pro images but works fine besides. anyways i wanted market and the other gapps on a stock rom with zero other changes. ie ota still works etc...
1. save the update.zip to your root drive on your gtablet
2. turn off then reboot pressing the power and volume-up key
3. choose wipe data/factory reset (must do or the next step will not work properly)
4. after it completes choose apply internal update.zip
5. reboot, allow android to stablize
6. run market (apps will show up but the following steps make sure more do)
7. run android settings-> applications -> system applications -> market
stop market
8. run android settings-> applications -> system applications ->google services frame work
clear data then force stop
9. reboot and your market should be fully functional.
link for to gapps on cyanogens site, remember to rename it as update.zip before saving to your gtab http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/gapps/gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed.zip
Thanks for taking the plunge. I'll give this a shot tonight when I get home and report back.
After I installed 4349 and booted up I took your linked file, renamed it update.zip, and rebooted the tab into recovery. I just flashed it and didn't do anything else. After the tablet rebooted I skipped some of the setup screens for Google framework and when I ran market it started to update apps automatically. So it worked without doing steps 3,7,8 & 9 for me, although updating Angry Birds from market made the tablet quick reboot... Which was fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling. Everything else works ok.
times i tried to skip step 3 the gapps package would not install properly. it would stop early on the install progress bar and no market or any other apps showed up on reboot. as for steps 7,8,9 those are market fix steps...few apps were missing and those are needed to get them to show up. though the default market is much much fuller then previous hacks. would love to know if anyone else has any other issues similar to mine or not.
also has anyone got myback pro working on 4349. i can install it from market but as soon as i restore any of my programs my reboot-up freezes on the tnt logo. only cure is to nvflash and reinstall.
Tried this a few times with a fresh 4339 installed, followed the steps exactly, but never get the google apps to show up. Oddly, during the install of the update.zip, the tablet resets, and boots normally. I expected to be returned to recovery after installing the update.zip
i have done the fix several times now with the same needs step wise and results...mainly cause i am trying to figure out mybackup pro cause it keeps borking by device and i have to nvflash and start over. turbo you did all the steps and didn't get the gapps package working? make sure your stock 4349 other wise the bluish CWM like thing isn't there to load update.zip's. otherwise i am at a loss? anyone else having trouble?
I an ran through all the steps up to 6.... but now there is no Market app.
I checked the update zip that was on my root (/sdcard is what I assume you mean by root as there is where the other update.zip is, though I initially assumed you meant / as the root) and it is the one that was downloaded from here.
What am I missing? It seems to be it installed the basic 4349
the only way i get those results you speak of is when i omit step 3. are you rebooting between as i am not.
I did step 3 as I had to run through the setup again.
I did not reboot in between step 3 and step 4.
should this work if i installed clockwork after the update?
I just went through it again, step by step, and it did the exact same thing. No Market.
Just to clarify, when I hit apply internal update.zip, the gTab reboots for me. In your instructions you say reboot. When mine boots it takes me into the first time user setup for the gTab, which is UELA, timezone, wireless, username then into the Non-Classic (not sure what it is called, but the one with the weather, news, etc) UI.
haven't used cwm with 4349 as i heard it crashes it though a very similar interface is built into this stock rom.

Yes, followed all steps, from a completely stock 4349 (with the 4349 recovery), and no gapps installed.

if you have done the steps exactly i am not sure what to tell you. and yes it should reboot itself. i have tried the fix a dozen times with no issues so i am not sure what it is your doing differant if anything at all. as of right now i can't reproduce anymore results on 4349 as its not showing up on the OTA anymore as my mybackup pro borked me into yet another install. is 4349 still showing up for other people?

Can you verify that when you say root you mean /sdcard/?
Outside of the Market is there any way to tell if it did it right, like some file someplace? I checked the /system/app folder and it has none of the apps that were in your update.zip in the app folder, does this mean anything?
I renamed my old update.zip to update_old.zip, could this cause a problem?
yes the root drive i spoke of is /sdcard. i do not think your renamed file should cause a conflict though you might try deleting it and see. again the only time i had this trouble was when i didn't do a factory wipe first...every other time it has worked but i don't know if their is some trouble with 4349 as it seems to have been pulled from the OTA in the last half hour. can anyone else confirm the OTA now set back to 3588?
I deleted update_old.zip, and no dice.
If you come up with some troubleshooting steps I am happy to try them.

Don't apply Clockwork .08, you will soft brick your tab.
Well I applied the gapps using clockworkmod from roebeet for 1.2 bootloaders and everything flashed fine. Running the latest version so I dunno.

Taking some advice I saw on the BAW forum one step further, I deleted the entire /data/boot-cache directory (after doing a nandroid backup of course).
Took about 3-4 extra minutes to boot up, presumably to recreate the contents of the directory, but now all of my apps are showing the correct version, correct icon, and correct name. Haven't run into any issues yet.
I didn't want to suggest this just in case something else would mess up. If you have a lot of bad apps this is perhaps faster than deleting each one.

Hey there you are! Hah.
I did have a lot of bad apps and had some trouble finding the proper directories for a few. I had just done a backup so I thought I'd give it a try.
I also figured this was the perfect place to suggest it for people to try - around here people are smart enough to do real backups before they start deleting things
Is this with just rooting the phone or after you install the custom rom?

I haven't touched the custom ROM yet. You do need to root the phone to do this, and it must be done from a shell.

It should, yes. I had a bunch of apps misnamed in that way (EasyMoney, Spades, a few others) and it fixed them.
One of them, Buka Lite, reverted back, though.
I tried this out and all the programs I'd been having issues with were fixed. I rebooted. Still fixed.
But then I installed three updates and after reboot, the same issue came back again. There must be another cache store somewhere...maybe Android Market related, or at least the Android package manager. Either way, I guess some more digging is in order.

I think there's just a bug with the way the phone handles the cache. Did the versions go back to what they were before you deleted the cache, or what they were after you deleted the cache and before you updated the apps?
Looks like the versions didn't revert. Last night, I used aTrackDog to send myself a list of all my apps. I can't remember the three that I updated today, but the two I do remember, Flixster Movies and Handcent did not revert.
Lastnight:
Movies,2.0.1
Handcent Sms,2.9.12
Now:
Movies,2.1.0
Handcent Sms,2.9.13
Well, I decided to remove Dolphin browser since I noticed it kept opening up and running in the background (active, at least that's what Taskiller says). Of course, the next reboot caused all the icons to get messed up again.
So, I thought to look for other cache directories. Does anyone think that deleting /data/dalvik-cache in addition to the /data/boot-cache directory might help? Is it safe to try it out? I'm assuming it'll just get repopulated automatically.

After you install any updates you will have to continue to remove the /data/boot-cache version until HTC/Sprint fixes the bug.

Damn. It sounded good in theory.
I had this issue with Google Sky Maps and it worked to let me back in. What was displaying after a day or so renamed itself to 'End User License Agreement' and wouldn't let me get past the EULA screen, only offering the option to force close.
The only caveat is that now Sky Maps is still named 'End User License Agreement', but it at least let's me in.
Odd
I tried removing both boot-cache and dalvik-cache. Didn't make any difference...eventually, the errors return if/when you update or install an app.
this must be a bug with the hero. i had the Moment and no apps renamed themselves at all. reset after reset the apps were fine. i reset my hero once and it messes up the apps
Doh! Doesn't seem like there's any easy perm fix in sight... hope it doesn't happen w/ 2.0 and Sense...
hey, first off, i'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting. however, i followed the instruction that you provided to root the viewsonic tablet below and it worked great. thank you very much for that. it was really helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=865245&page=3
anyway, the first time i did it with tnt lite 2.2 everything worked out great. i had flash installed and market. however, i saw that there was a new release of tnt by viewsonic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882521
so i downloaded that and followed the same instructions as above for rooting it. i got the rom to work just fine, however, now i have a problem with getting the android market back on the tablet.
basically, when i go to the manage apps and try to force stop market and google services framework, they're not there. furthermore, when i go to the ti, there's just overview, no backup/restore any more. i'm not sure what to do now. can you please help me. thank you very much. i've tried searching how to fix it and tried to install the tegra gapps, but it kept on aborting the installation. the more post's i read, the more confused i get about what i need to do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842590
Link to install tegra gapps and instructions
yes, i saw this post and tried it. downloaded the tegra file per instrustions, saved the downloaded file to sd card. turned of the tablet, got to recovery, went to install zip from sdcard, tried apply sdcard:update.zip and it just abort's because no file exists. i tried renaming the downloaded file as "update" and doing it, but it doesn't work. what am i doing wrong.
i opened the zip file and it contains two folders
1. system
2. meta-inf
when i did a recovery with the cwmod_v08.zip file originally, it contained
1. recovery folder
2. update.zip
could there be something missing in the first zip file?
Don't unzip the tegra gapps. In the clockwork menu there is a way to select what zip you want to install. Choose that option and then select the gapps file. The gapps file has to be on the internal sdcard.
man, i just spent over 1.5 hours reading the forum to figure this out and it was this easy. my mistake was that i was installing it on the external sd card. lol. it helps to know what you're doing.
thanks for the help. it seems to have worked.
No prob....glad you figured it out
one more issue now. i got the tegra gapps installed. however, when i go to TI to do backup/recovery, the option is not there. also, when i open ti backup for the first time, it says "sorry, i could not acquire root priveleges. this application will not work, please verify that your rom is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again"
how can i fix this?

i think i'm going back to tnt lite 3.0. this update sucks. not everything is working right. youtube the app won't even open and some other apps too. the youtube video from the actual website keep clitching. i keep getting force closes randomly. after all the time i wasted on this, it's funny that the roms provided by the xda community are still better. thank for your help.
I received my G Tab yesterday and within 4-5 hours last night I had installed 4 different ROMs, installed multiple kernels, and tested a ton of apps on each. I even got in to a boot loop, couldn't get the standard market fix to work, when installing at one point it FCd and then said it couldn't install more, etc, but I worked them all out. A few things that I learned that may help people (All instructions are with TNT 4.4 but work with other ROMs in different directories)
Market fix:
The standard market fix that is floating around is not always sufficient. To be sure that it will work, you need Titanium Backup installed.
Steps
1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop
2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop
3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup
4. Select Backup/Restore tab
5. Select Google Services Framework
6. Select Wipe Data
7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)
8. Reboot your tablet
9. Open Market and you will have full market (I can't find anything I don't have)
----------------------------
For me, my boot loop came after installing 4 ROMS and on TNT 4.4 it crashed while using an app and went in to a loop. I had cleared everything in between all the installs but something must have been left over. I needed to repartition my sd card in CW. It worked great, but remember, select 2048, and for the second option select 0 or it won't work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
Also, remember to back up the titanium backup folder and anything else to your computer before doing this. It will wipe everything.
-----------------------------
The last issue was when I was installing a few apps the market FCd and then when I went back in it wouldn't let me install the apps that were going to install. I tried all the regular things like wiping data and cache but it didn't work. What worked was removing the corresponding asec files within the .android_secure folder at root.
-----------------------------
Almost every single app I have installed works great. The only major problem so far? The Grooveshark app. TinyShark works though.
I just got my Gtab too. I installed VEGAn and the kernel to go with it with the latest ClockWorkMod. When I installed Titanium I got an error saying 'ROM is not rooted' or something similar to this.
For some reason the Market did not download apps and updates anymore. All downloads simply failed ending up in paused downloads. I figured maybe a Market downgrade would fix this so I uninstalled the Market with Titanium Backup. After that I put Vending.apk (version 2.3.4) in /system/apps but for some reason the Market does not start. It doesn't show up in the app drawer either and simply clicking on vending.apk does nothing. Am I maybe missing a step here??
Maybe try with the one linked in the 2nd post on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896312
That is what I used since my chinese stock rom did not include a real Market.
Just put the zip on the root directory of your SD card and install it from the regular recovery (power ON + volume down).
Hope it works for you.
Both the stock recovery and clockworkmod report an error in the zip file. It's in the root of the sd card. It opens fine on the pc.
*edit*
It seems that this update.zip is specifically made for the ME525.
Out of despair I decided to flash another rom (Pays 5.1). But to my surprise the problem remains! This is horrible because now I can't reinstall most of my apps. Simple things like clearing the market cache has no effect. Why doesn't the Market work as it should?
*edit*
Also tried to download apps over the mobile network but same result. Seems the ISP isn't the problem.
Have you done all the wipe setp?
Check if Data Saver is enabled.
Well after having changed nothing at all the downloads started working normally again. After doing some more online research I noticed more people had similar problems, probably due to problems with google's servers. At least it wasn't my phone although it made me flash a new Rom resulting in a now undowngradable and warranty void phone. Oh well at least it works again. Nevertheless thanks for all the suggestions!

Dear community,
honestly I considered myself not a noob anymore when it comes to flashing, rooting and installing devices. But obviously I was wrong: Cyanogenmod, Titanium Backup and SuperSU are fooling me to madness. :silly: So I hope to find help here because all I want to do is to restore all apps' data. But I will start at the beginning:
I updated my rooted Nexus 7 LTE to CM 13.0-20151226-NIGHTLY-deb and it turned out that Google Play Services continue to crash, no PlayStore could be loaded and so on. I've searched for this issue and don't want to discuss this here as there are many threads for this already.
However, I deciced to switch to OpenGapps and downloaded the pico package for Android 6 on ARM.
By the way I also switched from CWM recovery to TWRP 2.8.7.1.
Finally, CM was running as expected and I danced my pants off!
During all this I formatted the device completely, but made a backup of all apps using Titanium Backup.
So, I re-installed Titanium Backup, copied the backup files to the device and started to "restore missing apps and data" from the bulk operations menu.
All selected apps were installed perfectly (danced again) but then I noticed that the apps' data was not restored.
I searched for this issue and found instructions saying that SuperSU is needed for Titanium Backup to restore data. That was new to me as TB worked fine without SuperSU on my device all the time.
However, I flashed the latest stable Version of SuperSU from chainfire.
After rebooting, the SuperSU app was installed and when it starts, an error popup appears saying that no su file is installed and this has to be done manually.
When I now start Titanium Backup, it prompts missing root access and consequently does not start up.
Furthermore CM is really unstable and freezes from time to time.
So, I lost root by flashing SuperSU? What irony!
Anyway, I am willing to format and re-install my device another time and I would gladly set SuperSU aside as I never needed it in the past. But I really need to get Titanium Backup working to restore the apps' data.
Can anyone of you help me on this, please? Is SuperSU really necessary or do you know a way to manage Titanium Backup without SuperSU on CM13?

lmao, your title is nice!
i believe your problem is you used the wrong su zip, you need the latest beta, not stable. should be .52 if im not mistaken. .52 is stable even though its not listed as, i have been using it for some time, and its whats needed for M. you may even find some .6 versions, dont use those, they are systemless, well you can if you want lol. i havent tried them yet, so i dont know what pitfalls may lurk.
Thank you for your help and I am happy to entertain

I will try to update SuperSU as soon as possible.
But sadly TWRP now freezes a few moments after I start the device in recovery mode. When the device starts normally, it freezes as well while showing the CM launcher screen. It stays animated but nothing happens. I will try to re-install TWRP via fastboot flash and then install SuperSU .52 and post my experiences here. :fingers-crossed:

Sorry to say so but SuperSU .52 does not solve the problem. In fact, after flashing the BETA-SuperSU-v2.52.zip using TWRP, CM does not start up anymore. The loading screen with the hypnotizing smiley appears and stays animated but even after 15 minutes CM does not start up. Even TWRP was freezing from time to time.
So I re-installed TWRP, CM and Gapps like in my first post again.
So, is the problem that my device is not rooted indeed? Could this be fixed with CF-autoroot or any tool like this?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448352 although it is for the device deb-razor and my device's bootloader says it is a deb-zoo. By the way, the bootloader displays "LOCK STATE - unlocked".

hmmm,
i havent used 2.52 on a cm rom, but i have used it on plenty aosp 6.0.* roms without issue.
clean things up so its booting again, then look in developer options and make sure root is turned on. i have seen a few times devs default it to off, but i have never seen a custom rom come not rooted at all.

Thanks for your support!
I cleaned everything up -- meaning re-installed everything -- so the device boots up. I checked the developer options and root is set to "apps only". That worked up to now.
Speaking of root: As I wrote I used to have CWM and switched to TWRP. Anyhow, CWM always asked to "fix root" when exiting. I think that's why things worked then and now with TWRP this "fix root" option is gone. But why is SuperSU not working for my Nexus 7 deb? I also tried to install older versions like advised in the Nexus 7 thread here but there was not even a SuperSU app.
So, I recap: CWM used to fix root, TWRP does not. That's why installing SuperSU seems to be a good idea. SuperSU's latest version freezes CM at start-up. Without SuperSU Titanium Backup does not restore app data while other apps do not have problems to get root access. I'm confused

so to clarify your last paragraph, when you say that installing supersu breaks things, were talking about the zip right?
i just want you to get the app from the play store, if you havent tried that alone yet. but change the root setting too.

Correct, I was talking about the zip which is meant to be installed through TWRP.
So, I downloaded the SuperSU app after double-checking that root is set to "Apps & ADB" in the developer settings. Btw. debugging and installation from unknown sources (I hope this is the right translation for this feature) is enabled as well.
When I started the SuperSU app, it first says the binary SU needs an update and I could choose the installation method: When choosing "normal", the app tried to install but failed saying "Installation failed! Restart device and try again!" but even after restarting this was what the app gave me. When I chose "TWRP" the app rebooted the device to recovery but I assume this would end up in installing the zip file which crashed my CM.
Finally, I installed CF-autoroot for deb via the .bat file included in the CF-autoroot package. Now, SuperSU and Titanium Backup are not complaining anymore, so I think this root issue is fixed! :highfive: (couldn't find a dancing smiley).
However, Titanium Backup is not bringing back my app data The restore process seems good as Titanium Backup installs missing apps but even if I install an app the official way via PlayStore and then restore the app's data from my backup using Titanium Backup, there is no effect and the app acts like being installed freshly.
TB claims "restore successful" but the app's data is still missing. I will now check if the backup files are really sound and if I can get them to work on another device. The worst thing I could imagine is that TB did not backup data of apps which had been installed on sdcard. In that case, the data is lost, I'm afraid...
Do you have an idea how this could be or what I could try?

Correct, I was talking about the zip which is meant to be installed through TWRP.
So, I downloaded the SuperSU app after double-checking that root is set to "Apps & ADB" in the developer settings. Btw. debugging and installation from unknown sources (I hope this is the right translation for this feature) is enabled as well.
When I started the SuperSU app, it first says the binary SU needs an update and I could choose the installation method: When choosing "normal", the app tried to install but failed saying "Installation failed! Restart device and try again!" but even after restarting this was what the app gave me.

sorry, i really dont know what happens as far as titanium when you put an app on the sd.
glad you got root working though, although i still dont understand why it wouldnt work the right way.
if you run into any more specific road blocks, ill try and help if i can, but this general problem with the data, i havent a clue the problem or solution, short of the data isnt there completely.
Hi again,
sorry for my late reply! I tried a couple of things but here's the most obvious one:
Apparently the backup files are kind of corrupt. I don't know what went wrong there but TB did not create a full backup. Indeed there is a .tar.gz file for every app but in fact none of these has more than 2 KB. So I strongly assume that this might be the mistake - which also means that all my app's data is lost.

At least this is a success and I am happy to have TWRP, OpenGapps and Titanium Backup running on a fully rooted device :good:
Thank you for all your time and help! I really appreciate how supportive we "techies" are :highfive:
Have a great day and - a bit late but anyway - a happy new year!
