Cruz Reader useful apps: Version 0.01, please check out:
This is *nix archive with a script that installs some well known apps on the Cruz Reader!
It may be that rooting the device is needed before, maybe not, have only tried with a rooted reader...
(want to go to the Market anyone?)
To give the due credit: This was inspired and uses parts of the RPMscript archive for the ePad zt-180...

Cruz ereader needs Android market
Just bought the Cruz ereader. Are you able to get Android market on it? I downloaded the Flash APK and installed flash 10.1. Everything installs fine but flash doesnt work. Is there a work around? If you having trouble using youtube try downloading the youtube apk from Velocity Micro Cruz support site. With a few tweaks this can be a good device. Specifically flash, android marketplace and overclocking.
Market, Maps and Gmail on the cruz

Yes, you can install Market with the pushgoog.sh script. Thi should work on machines with android sdk, and as available from the download link in the slatedroid post that is referenced in post #1 above.
The pushgoog.sh script should work on linux and Mac machines as it is, for windows boxes the script can be easily changed into a batch file (pushgoog.bat or so).
script, rooting and all that stuff is foreign to me. I'm a newbie when it concerns computer stuff. I was hoping had an APK file ready to download/install.

It is now somewhat easier, since all is needed to install Market on the Cruz using Windows XP is available through two downloads linked here

but still no apk, sorry.
I just got a Cruz Reader. It is very slow and unresponcive. I flashed the Macho Rom. Market works and Gapps work. If someone could develope a dounut rom based on something like ZXdonut. It would be perfect for this device. It would make this device usable. Right now is so slow and makes me think of G1 running Froyo.
Velocity micro cruz reader??
Yeah I ordered one last week can wait to root it and I wonder if there will be any chance of 2.1 or 2.2 coming to this reader???
I just picked up one last night from BestBuy for $99, and I used a modified ROM from user PandaBomb over at SlateDroid that roots the device upon flashing the ROM. I'm happy with the device...for simple web browsing and twitter/facebook updates it'll be fine. I installed Pulse to have a Flipboard-like app and I'm happy with my e-reader . Here is the link to the forum over at SlateDroid that will guide you: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=12820.0
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out, as I just picked up the Cruz Reader at Best Buy as well! It's a neat little device to be sure, but I was upset when I discovered that there was no pre-installed Android Market app installed... (And the Cruzmarket is a bit it a huge let-down for me)!
I thought I read something about one it the (hack/mods/???) not working with the R103, but the 101 & 102? I'm new to Android hacking, but have messed around with a few other devices in the past (moto razr, Dash 3G, etc), but don't want to brick this thing on my first try!
Anyone else have any recommendationsof what to do with this little device?

I am stuck too! I downloaded the ROM update and updated the Cruze. Then I downlaoded the java SE SDK and the Android SDK and the ADB drivers. The write up said to install java SE on root of your harddrive at C:android-sdk I did not have that file on my laptop so I created and installed there. Then the write up said to install the android SDK there and the ADB drivers as well. So I extracted those two files to C:android-sdk-windows. then it said to open the SDK manager from that file and so I opened it and then it said to plug Cruz in via usb. I have done this but it seems everything is being installed on laptop not Cruz! HELP PLEASE
any news on updates 2.1 for the cruz reader?

Android Market - I used the JGM ROM, rooted and had blank Market. Acessing market via laptop showed my Cruz listed, but no serial number. Gave up, but then by luck a week later, I went to the Market on my laptop, found an App and selected, and selected my Cruz as the device to download it to. 2 hours later, sure enough the Market was working, and that select app downloaded.
It almost seems like you have to prime the market first for the Cruz via a computer...
ok im not sure if this is the right place if it isnt please move it. ok so i updated the software on my android tablet, it is an off-brand made by pioneer computers called "dreambook 7." anyways after i updated the software, the android market somehow got erased. its nowhere on my device. so i was wondering, could someone that has a rooted android 1.6 upload the android market apk install file?
Ok so i am building a rom, and I used Zipsigner 2 (android Market) the first time and it worked , and used Signapktic by Stericson (Android Market) and it worked, but after i used both of them once, they never worked again, then i googled how to sign a rom and i got a link from this site and android forum and those didnt work. So does anyone have a way to sign a rom on Windows vista w/o some Ubuntu system or something like that. Just directly on windows! Thank you

I have a Nextbook 7, September 2013 model which has a AMLogic chip inside it, not sure which one, which has a stock rom, but is rooted using motochopper. I have on my computer Android Ultimate Toolbox Pro, which I downloaded either off here or off a google search result. The message Can not install on USB Storage or SD Card is coming up whenever I install certain games on Google Play. If I install them from LEGALLY OBTAINED apk files, it just says App Not Installed. I have tried the smdl2tmp.asec fix, but according to the logcat which I just made with Android Ultimate Toolbox, smdl2tmp.asec can't be made. I have got certain apps to install by decrypting the apk, editing the AndroidManifest.xml to say internalOnly, signed it with a pre-made keystore thing, and they work, except for Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing. The game runs fine, but I can't sign on to Google Play Games using this app, as the certificate doesn't match. (I Think.) If someone could help me, that would be great. I also attached the logcat I made to this post. I'm on Windows XP at the moment, but I have XUbuntu on a seperate HDD in my computer, with dsixda's Android Kitchen. Thank you in Advance.

Hello Guys,
I have a Hilti Laser PD-C device that runs:
android: 4.1.2
build: sparky_silver_2.3.15
I want to note that all apps should be arm not x86 but Im not sure of the DPI.
This runs a special modified Hilti rom. I would love to be able to get a custom rom and add more apps. I am willing to toss some donations for this. Has anyone done anything with this device before?
**** Update: ****
I was able to get root access via PC version "KING_ROOT"
http://king.myapp.com/myapp/Kingroot/kingroot_pc/KingRoot_pc_en.exe
1. I downloaded the most current sdk for ADB
2. I also downloaded the Hilti update app.
www.hilti.com/updatepdc
3. I was able to use King_Root even while the app didnt see the device and it recognized the device after I clicked connect.
4. The main ROM is very difficult to get around. You cant just click an app you side-loaded. Download a launcher that matches the android version. I used smart launcher, no reason, just the first I found. Use ADB to sideload on to the device.
(adb install "app name") https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/smart...1-build-054-android-apk-download/#description
5. From here I got full control to the apps I sideloaded. I am still having issues with connecting to BT on my note9 for the internet.
It is what it is... But thanks for the help. I hope anyone else looking finds this.
