How does one get GTalk running on this thing?
I'm pretty sure you just download it from the market.
There's a "Talk" app preinstalled. It uses the accounts you registered on the phone through Settings -> Accounts, I believe.

GTalk is not in the market. If you need the apk, you have to get it from a rom and install it.

Why not just flash the google apps addon and use the Market app?
yea, download the "gapps" file
This is the best replacement out
applanet
Yeah, the second step when installing cyanogenmod is to install the google apps. No one would use cyanogenmod if they couldn't have the market.

2.download attached apk.
3.open root explorer (must be rooted)
4.hold downloaded apk then select move
5.move it to system/app and thats it!
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!!!
Cheers for the download. The market I'm running looks identical as far as I can tell.. do you know if there's anyway to check the version of what market you have?
Yes indeed you can download atrackdog from the market and it should say version number you have and wether there is an update or not
Sent from Inc via premuim app
Menu/apps/all or running/market.... it will say what version you have at the top... I don't think all of the roms are setup to work with any market
Yeah my thoughts but like I said if you know what you are doing or at least make a back up of the old market apk just in case it forcloses or even a nadroid, it won't hurt lol

Sorry but not seeing backup old market or nand in your instructions...
Usually if it doesn't work you can just uninstall update in menu
Just checked my version, looks like I've been running this version for 3-4+ months now

Usually when someone says " like I said" that means they already stated it. Sorry I thought you'd of understood what I was saying. Carry on
yeah looks like this is old news lol. CM7 has had 2.3.6 for a while now.
For those wanting to check your Market version, no need to download an app to do it. Just go Settings > Applications > All Apps > Market.
thx

I am running Cyanogen 6.1.0. It has the old market. I downloaded the apk you provided, then used APK Manager to install it. It reported the application was not installed and sure enough I still have the old Market.
Any ideas how I can upgrade?
Umm weird, it should overwrite the old market
Try deleting old market using root explorer the ln reinstall new market
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I did try delete the old Market using Titanium Backup, and it did delete it. Then I installed the new Market using several installers, but the installers all say "Application not installed".
Did you try to move the apk to system/app ? Then reboot?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I did and it just would not show up in my apps. Eventually I came across a file someone put up which I flashed and it did install the new market. So, I am OK now.
alrighty good for you

I had to go looking for it again, wanted to post it here, I found it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=871585
I thought I would post this to make it easier to find as it was buried in the gummy charge thread.
Basically, after you get up and running with gummy charge 1.5 or other roms, you may notice the market will be missing apps and you will have a problem downloading a few too. To check to see if your market is working correctly do a search for MLB at bat... if you can't see those apps then you need this fix. The fix is listed below. The fix edits a few lines of code in your build.prop file which gives you all apps in the market no matter what rom you are using. Its completely harmless and will fix issues you are having
1. Download fix.apk from the URL below
2. Install the fix.apk
3. Go into your app drawer and find the app called 'market fixer' and open it. Then select fix.
4. Approve root request
5. Reboot within the market fix app
You should now have all apps in the market and your market downloads should work

Find it here. I can now download mlb at bat 2011 thank goodness.

My fingerprint now shows "shadow" in it. Whatever, it works for me. Hopefully nothing else is screwed up.
THANK YOU! This was one of the main things bugging me about this phone, just got it a couple days ago
You, sir, are awesome. Thanks much!
Cool, same problem with EE4 debloated. This fixed me right up. I found if completely stock EE4 has the same problem?

MLB at bat doesn't show up for me in the market.
but Trillian does show up.
does that mean I still need this Market app fix?
just install directly

I am running Debloated v4.2.1. I installed fix.apk, and then rebooted.
If "MLB at Bat" is supposed to indicate that my Market is fixed, I'm not "fixed" yet.

It sounds like you may not have followed my instructions in the original post.
You must install the fix. Apk
You must then immediately find the app in your app drawer called market fixer and open it
You must choose the fix button then accept root request
Then you must reboot within the market fix app

This fix doesn't work without rooting and I am not prepared to do that. Is there a fix without having to root?

Was begining to think I had bought a BIG DUD, Thanks to this post, I am thrilled with this little tablet,

For all those who have got a Zeki 7 inch tablet who found out it does not come with google apps like Google play, Google Maps, and gmail.
Now to start off your zeki comes fully rooted, so no need to install superuser or any of that stuff.
1st: you need to have a micro sd card to do this process.
2nd: Use your PC to download the update.zip file.
3rd: Put the update.zip file on the micro sd card. (put the card in to your tablet) make sure zip is on root not in any folders
4th: go in to settings, go all the way down to About tablet and click that, now you will see systemUpdate
5th click check now. It will ask if you want to update and it will auto find the update file. just click yes
6th the system will boot to recovery mode and flash the update, once done it will reboot Android 4.0.3 and you have you Gapps
Now it can take up to 10 minute for Market place to update to the google play store. You can start upgrading your apps and downloading the goodies you want.

Google Play erroring out downloading apps
When I downloaded the setup file my Zeki I had the Google market app installed when I tried to download an app it errored out when attempting to download in google store
Does the device have to be rooted? Hope not...

Does this install google talk? If not does anybody know how?

Why don't you get the latest gapps at http://goo.im/gapps, rename it to update.zip and install that? Then you'll have all the latest gapps, updated as well

Since I haven't been able to get google talk to work I have been trying other programs. I tried oovoo but their was a screen rotation issue, it kept making me appear sideways. Then I tried skype and it works but I despise skype and I would much rather use google talk. At least I know I can try tango and see if its better than skype, I'm still hoping for google talk though.
Do you have netflix on your zeki? I tried installing it from the play store and when I tried opening it would just go black then go back to the zeki homescreen. I was able to get a hacked version of netflix on there but I was just curious if anybody else had the same issue.

I have recently installed the Android SDK and found that i could pull system apps form emulators! i used this to get all android apps that i thought would be cool to have and these are the ones i could get to work with no root.
Calculator
DevTools (Development)
Spare Parts
DeskClock
Email
Custom Locale
Music
Terminal Emulator(Can be found in DevTools)
The apps that I tried that DON'T work are:
Launcher
Browser
I don't know if Gallery works or not... i haven't had the chance to try.
EDIT: sorry for cutting off... accidentally hit submit then internet went out :/
EDIT: added more apps that work and linked Gallery for you guys to try out.

If your using the XDA app, click dpwnload then use a file manager and go to mnt/sdcard/xda-downloads then click the one you want to install.
If not, click the link then use a file manager to go to mnt/sdcard/downloads and click the one you want to install.
