I recently purchased a Pandigital 7" Tablet from Kohls this weekend that is running Android 2.2.1 (Froyo) on it. Of course it didn't come with the Android Market and was hoping to put it on there. I used the program Z4 Mod and it says my tablet is rooted but when I try to open the Android Market it flashes and just closes. Does anyone else have a suggestion on what I should do to get this to work by chance? I'm fairly new to the rooting scene, Thanks in advance!
Well my device is rooted using the Onesimpleclick and my tablet shows the Superuser on it and says it rooted. The problem is when I try to open the Android Market it immediatly closes before it can even open up all the way. Does anyone have any suggestions? I can't clear the cashe since i haven't even been able to use the program yet. I'm so close, yet so far away from this working the way I hoped...

ok so i bought this xperia x10a two days ago and never personally had an android before so i didn't know anything about rooting or custom roms until recently i've been shoving my face in the middle of it. heres whats ive done so far...
installed android sdk r08 windows
installed x10 usb phone drivers
adb in cmd prompt shows device listed with serial number so i have the install right
ive installed universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 using adb install
i opened up androot and rooted the phone with superuser and matching firmware option, androot says it worked.
i tried to load google earth apk, and im STILL security blocked--what gives?
so i didnt sweat it, i figured maybe i should try another rooter. i installed z4root using the same method. i opened the program and it asked me if i wanted to re-root (because androot thinks it worked i assume) so i went ahead and hit re-root. it went through its process and says it worked as well.
yet, i still cannot install google earth because of the ATT security block. could i somehow be rooted but still have this security block? i don't see how, isnt that the purpose...to unrestrict the phone?
anyway, my x10a is still running 1.6 eclair and ive used sony ericsson's update service program to try upgrading to 2.1 and give it another try but their program says my phone is up to date when clearly my phone shows its firmware being 1.6. ive hit a brick wall with this...can anyone give me a sledge hammer? for the brick wall i mean, not the phone.
The reason you still cannot install non market apk's is that ATT has turned off the "install non market apps" by default at the factory. you are going to have to install a custom ROM in order to get away from the ATT branded phone. Google installing a ROM for X10. I did it on a friends phone a few weeks ago and got him up to 2.1.1
Good Luck!

well, i can install non market apk's...i installed both universal androot and z4root USING Android SDK. once installed, both of them say they can root the phone. now, i actually get asked whether i want some programs superuser access, and when i say yes--it allows it. i think my problem with google earth not installing via android sdk is that im still running android 1.6 and Earth requires at least 2.1. I don't see a x10 rom for 2.1 on the market to try it and ericsson update service still says im fully updated with the latest. if i can manage to get 2.1 i bet you i can install google earth and anything else that will run on 2.1. android sdk seems to be a viable workaround to the non market app restriction if im thinking about it right...i just need 2.1 now and continue using android sdk to install my 3rd party apps until a fully functional and stable 2.1+ custom rom comes out for the x10. anyone have any thoughts? give me a another 3rd party apk to install that will work with 1.6 and ill try to install it and see what my results are.
Hello all
I have been having problems with my lg gt540. Recently minecraft pocket edition was released on android market, I really wanted it but much to my dismay it wasnt on my market (it was on a friend phone HTC desire HD running android 2.3.2). So i decided to put cm7 on my phone to get it to 2.3.2 (it was already 2.1). I did that, installed the market fine everything was good. However i went onto the market and it wasnt there still, went onto the web version signed in and it said incompatible firmware (yet i was on 2.3.2). I downloaded an .apk version of the internet tried to install it only to get "application not installed". so i then installed alogcat to see what was going wrong:
"E/packagemanager(1274): package com.mojang.minecraftpe requires unavailable feature android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch: failing!"
Will some one please help me to get a way round this.
Thanks

Read what it says: android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch. Your device doesn't support this, so it Android won't allow it to be installed.

I rooted my Nook tablet per Indirect's guide and everything seemed to work flawlessly. I have the android market, and installed the Amazon market and messed around with things briefly before bed. Today various apps like busybox and and titanium backup are telling me they need root. Superuser is installed and my various markets still work fine.
I read Indirect's ENTIRE THREAD tonight at work and the only thing I could think maybe happened is similar to this recent post.
Im pretty much an android noob. My Nook Tablet shows version 9.9.9 Is there some way to verify I didnt update to 1.4.1 and break root while I was in the process of doing it or am I completely over looking something? I figured I would check here before trying to downgrade and reroot the Nook Tablet.
Hope I didnt leave anything out.
After some discussion on IRC and trying to su from terminal it appears that my Nook Tablet did update to 1.4.1 while I was rooting it.
Hi,
I installed Electron's ICS rom on my Verizon GT 7.7. It works great! However, now I'm getting constant update notices to install the update that Verizon is trying to push out (for the reduced battery consumption). This update is for honeycomb, so I'm sure I don't want to install it. The tablet is working great and I wouldn't want to mess with that right now anyway.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update checking, or freeze the update process? I saw in another post that someone was able to freeze the process, but he didn't say what process it was. I did some searching on the interwebs but came up with nothing.
The tablet is rooted (the Electron ROM came pre-rooted).
Any advice would be appreciated!
Hi guys,
I bought a cheap tablet, It worked fine until i got an update to lollipop, it slowed the device down horribly and it can't multitask at all anymore. Even opening a new tab in google chrome is terrible laggy and slow.
I managed to get the tablet rooted with kingroot, the programs that came with it to clean and speed up the device work great, but the tablet still not works optimal.
When i tried to install the old rom from the asus website in recovery it sayd it cant find the root destination folder or something like that. And rom manager says there is a more recent version of cwm but when i want to install it it says my tablet is not supported. So how can i go back to the kitkat version of the rom? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!

anyone?
