Few Questions...Plz Help

Hi I'm new here and have a few questions. I downloaded some apps off the web but when they are updated I cannot update them using the market. Is there any way for me to update them or add them to the "My Downloads" list in the market? If I root my phone, but do not install a custom rom will I still get ota updates, be able to install market apps, and so on?
Details:
Phone: Nexus One (T-Mobile Version)
Android Version: 2.2 FroYo FRF50 (love it)
If you guys need baseband and kernel information let me know. Also, what it different in stock froyo vs cyanmod vs any other rom? Sorry if this is in the wrong place to post this and the length.

Hi there, as of right now all that I can point you towards for you apps would be an app called apktor that can be found in the market the rest you will have to figure out on your own. Or you could also just redownload these apps through the market...
From what I have read besically when you root your phone you give up any chance to be able to OTA update. BTW I have a Telus Milestone so I am not sure about the phone you have because it might be different but I think it would be a global rule of Rooting= No OTA... Although while being rooted you can install apps from the market.
About the custom roms you will have to do some reading untill the Milestone's boot gets cracked I won't have a chance to play around with any roms, I guess best advice would be read read read and read some more. And after you have done all that reading, choose a couple of roms that interest you try each one for atleast a day and find the one that you like. If there was a best rom, there wouldn't be such a wide variety of them...

Nope, even if your phone has root you can still update apps via the market. I know because I updated my apps via this way. 2 Rules apply though.
1) The apps that you downloaded off the web are freeware and are also on the market.
2) The apps that you downloaded off the web AREN'T warez. (I'd suspect that's what you're trying to do, but do correct me if i'm wrong)
It is highly unlikely that in following these 2 simple rules you still can't update via market.

A little direction...

Hello Everybody!
It's been 3 days I am reading different discussion and threads. There is so much that it confuses me. If any of you pros can just redirect me to the resource which will full my need then please help me.
I have HD2 (Leo, T-mobile). I want to install Android on it but I don't want to lose WM6.5. I have been reading about installing Android SD card which seems like the option to work but still I have confusions in that.
Can you just provide me some or anything where I can follow the procedure and get Android install with disturbing my WM...
Thank you

There are plenty of SD builds for the HD2. You'll find the HD2 SD Android forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735&order=desc
If you like stock Android and not HTC Sense, I had a lot of good times with this particular ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870518. It hasn't been updated for a while because more and more people are running it from NAND these days.
I'd recommend checking to see whether it's completely compatible with the TMOUS version (some ROMs aren't). Also, check a few out before settling on the one you like most, don't just take my word for it
Good luck, and welcome to XDA

I installed SuperRAM_Froyo_v1 on SD and it was working smooth. The next day I installed AmeriCanAndroid and it was also working fine. I kept switching back to WinMo. Just now when I tried to run CLRCAD or HARET it just says "The file 'CLRCAD' cannot open, etc etc".
I tried deleting the files and pasting again but it's just not working. Anyone been through such an issue?

[Q] Q: Dorinmax ROM, CMW 7, work perfectly, but problem with Market.

Hello, I am a newbie to this forum, but I have already read many posts before making my first thread. I have HTC HD2 (LEO), I have installed NAND Android (dorinmax ROM) with CWM 7, it works perfectly, the system is stable. I made it with SWAP & with SD EXT partition 1GB, no issue till then. But I have problem with market, I get error "Error downloading "Angry birds" there is insufficient space on the device" everytime I try to download and install ap bigger then 2.5 MB, so I am really confused, I have read all possible themes about it, like coding in terminal, wiping cache or Davlik cache and others. also I tried to install marketfix (didn't help). So I have tried all possible options except downgrading Market (but I don;t know how, mine is 3.4 already installed with dorinmax latest ROM). So someone, please help with us. Thank all of you in advance. I would be appreciated if devepoler of dorinmax ROM will answer & help to asssist. Cheers!

Complete Guide to Root and Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Hi all.
Complete noob here - just wanted to document my journey for resurrecting my daughter's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet to make it usable again.
It had stock rom on it (android 4.0.4) ICS and would not update. Consequently, none of the apps were working and basically it was ready for the trash.
Yes, it's 7 years old, but hey, why throw it in the trash - I thought I'd have a go at rooting and updating. It took me a couple of days but now it's done, it's updated to 7.1 Nougat and working flawlessly.
So here is my Journey - I hope it will help someone. Big thanks to all the Devs out there who have put countless hours into keeping this tablet alive (especially decatf who appears to be very nice person
This assumes no prior knowledge - but be warned - I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your device or if you "brick it". If that worries you do not proceed! By following the below guide, you will be wiping all data from your device so proceed with caution!!
The following worked for me to install Android Nougat on my device - mine is a GT-P7510 but I used the files for the GT-P7500 because when I tried the specific files for the P7510, they didn't work). You might have to get creative here and there to get yours to work!
1) Create folder on your PC / Mac computer desktop to put the required files in;
2) Download the files from here:
- Odin3-v1.85.zip - or do a search for it (this will be for "flashing" twerp onto your device)
- twrp311-20171009-p4.zip
- aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip
- P7500-open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170416.zip
- GalaxyTabHacks.com_SuperUser.zip
- USB drivers if you need them are here: http://gizmoword.com/Files/2017/09/24/samsung-usb-drivers/
3. Instal Twerp / Custom Recovery
Before you can install custom software (Nougat etc) you will need to root the tablet. Before you root the tablet, you need to install TWERP which will allow you access to things like backup and recovery etc.
To install TWERP follow this guide and ensure you make backup before proceeding to step 4 - that way you can always go back to your stock image if there are any problems.
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/11/h...od-recovery-on-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
NOTE: in the above, it mentions ClockWorkMod (CWM) - However CWM did not work for me, so after installing CWM - I then installed TWERP (they basically do the same thing). I am not sure if you can simply install TWERP instead of CWM - but I installed TWERP over the top of CWM after I had followed the above guide.
4. Root the tablet: The following guide was very helpful to me;
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/18/how-to-root-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
and / or this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361571
5. Now you should be ready to install the custom ROM (Nougat)
Follow these guides:
https://www.droidword.com/2017/11/2...10-1-gt-p7510-to-android-7-1-nougat-aosp-rom/
and here is the source code and infos;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350
6. After following the above, I installed Gapps Pico (very small google basic apps needed for tablet boot e.g. playstore etc)
7. Reboot device and enjoy the setup. Congrats - if all went well you should now be on 7.1 Nougat and can download all your favourite apps.
You can also download and install other software e.g. Chrome browser optimised for your old tablet
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/app-chromium-m56-optimized-tegra-2-t3550210
Best of luck! Note - I am not developer of any of the above. Kudos to all the devs.

I followed your directions and now play store does not work. Can you help me??

I had to experiment with this because some of the files gave me problems. Aside from the aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip which does work some the files don't. I ended up using TWRP version 2.8.7.0. (there is no official TWRP for the GT-P7510. Closest one is called "Picaso" you can search specifically for that one). Whichever GAPPS you decide to use must be an "open" Gapps such as, open_gapps-arm-7.1-full-20181106.zip.
After flashing there were difficulties. Google Play apps won't download or install. Google Chrome or any other Google related apps do not function. There are no developer settings. I even tried to download some Developer Setting apks of which none work. The ROM in itself looks and works good except for those bugs. Camera and flash actually work properly.

X L ENT.

Android 8 or 9?
Great post. I'm also a noob but am going to give it a try since you've laid everything out so nicely. One question I have before getting started is do you think this will also work with the latest versions of Android (8 or 9) rather than Android 7? Thanks much for any advice before I take the plunge!

My curent opinion is that the Android 7 version works better overall.

thread: Complete Guide to Root and Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
ok so most of the roms i have tested are overcome v2.3, nougat AOSP 7.1.2 , cwm clean rom v2 and others on the GT-P7510MA and i must say they are awesome builds to try and ressurect the tablet giving life to it but these Roms seem to dont give it the core functionality of playing games or even being able to handle the YouTube app version came in the pico packages or downloaded from the play store, can you developers from GitHub please work on this tablet.It gives constant crashes on playing games downloaded from the app store or opening certain apps other from that you guys would make my day and i would generously donate cause you guys deserve every penny!!! please fix this and we are ok worked for me but everything except games and the YouTube app. People remember most of these developers don't have the tablets, time or cash so we have to test on our tablets, donate so there cup of coffee doesn't runs out and report to them effectively right before there coffee runs out!

I'm still using mine. There were some similar issues I had and if I remember correctly Google play was the main issue with other Google apps. I think and this is going on memory. You would install the ROM then the GAPPS, but not flash both at the same time. Or Google apps would lock up for some reason and give you some issue. So for it to work correctly you flash the ROM. Turned it on and let it load up. Then you would turn it off so you could start up the TWRP recovery, then you would flash the GAPPS.
But Channel 48 put out a video on this if you get confused. This is the easiest way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN1Xwskjjfw&t=914s
And the update to 8.1 is also an option.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_bsR1Az3Sw&t=312s

Thanks @Casper Young I will take a look at the 8.1
It seems Channel48 has a lot of helpful videos. You can search for your exact model on his search page: for example, I am checking on P5110 here:

Hi, there, everyone
I've been trying to download the files needed, but most of the links no longer work. Where can I find the programs needed?

Help with Viper4Android on MTCE_WWW Android 8.0 unit

So I'm trying to get Viper4Android running on my MTCE_WWW Android 8.0 headunit running the stock ROM. I've rooted the system via the adb "injection" method (SuperSU). Root access seems to work fine for everything I've tried.
So then I downloaded the Viper4Andrid files (Viper4Android_FX_v2505.zip) and installed the "Nougat_IO_test_fix.apk" version of the app. I run the app and tell it to load/update the Viper driver - it takes about 30 seconds and says that the driver was installed successfully and tells me to reboot. I reboot the device and try to run Viper4Android, but it goes back to the driver update/install prompt. The actual driver install doesn't seem to be working (even though it says it loaded successfully).
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Thank you in advance!

Ok, I finally got Viper4Andorid working on my MTCE Android 8.0 head-unit... I ended up having to do everything manually (manually editing audio_effects.conf, manually putting the lib4a_fx_ics.so driver file into the proper directory, etc). Since there is no custom recovery available for these MTC? Android head-units, I couldn't just flash any of the flashable V4A .zip files I found online - so I basically did everything a flash would do - just did it manually via a file explorer.
Let me go back and figure out the *exact* steps that I took and then I'll come back here and make sure to document the exact steps I did - may help someone else in the future...
I do realize that I could have just installed one of the custom ROMs that have V4A built in, but they seem to run a lot hotter than stock (from what I've read) and I would rather only install mods that I acutally want to use - instead of installing a bunch of stuff that I will never use and will just make the system run hotter.
So far, from my VERY brief testing, V4A seems to work very well though.

Hello mate, where i can found the steps did you use?
