[Q] Google Talk on an A13 - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

So I bought 2 x All Winner A13's cheap off ebay (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/400337692134?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) so I could talk to my kids when Im away working using Google's "Talk" app. Turns out when the tablets arrived, the App wasn't installed. I cant find an APK file that works and Ive even tried instal GAPPs for 4.0.x with no luck.
My tablets are reporting themselves as:
Model Number: SoftwinerEVB
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: 1.5
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+ [email protected] #80 Wed Nov 7 15:50:24 CST 2012
Build Number: nuclear_evb-eng 4.0.4 IMM76D 20121108
Please can you all tell me how I can find and install the "Talk" app which is installed on pretty much every main stream Android device out there but for some reason not on my A13's.
Thanks all and have a great Christmas everyone!

I think I found it for ya!

Ahh sounds good I'll PM you now..
If anyone has bought an A13 and cant install from the Play Store go into Settings -> Applications and go into every Google App and delete its cache. Reboot and you should be ok.

Hi,
I have to same tablet and would really appreciate if someone could share with me any Google talk app/ Google + that would work.
Thanks in advance.
PS: for $52 this tablet rocks !

[Q] aPad, iPed, iRobot (whatever the name is) - NO MARKET.

Hi guys,
sorry for already asking for help on my first time posting, but I really need help with my aPad that I've purchased on eBay the other day. Yes, it's a VIA based one, which really is why I've had a pain trying to get Android Market on it.
These are the specs from About device:
- Memory: 256MB RAM DDR2
- Model: generic (that doesn't help -.-)
- F/W: 1.6 (bloody liars claimed it was 2.1)
- Kernel version: 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty
- Build number: WMT2.1.2_88
Need moar information?
ht tp : //cgi. ebay. com. au/ws/eBayISAPI. dll?ViewItem&item=320633764893
^ That link has most images of the pad, but more are in the attachments. Obviously, remove all spaces.
Thanks for viewing and thankyou in advance for helping.
I'm having the same problems with you. You can check out applanet.net. That's the only solutions I can find for now, but as you know our devices is only v1.6 there are quite a number of apps can't be installed on to it.

[Q] Root HTC One ST (T528t) China Mobile carrier

Dear All,
I've recently purchased an HTC ONE ST with Android 4.0.4, which I believe it's only sold in China. I would truly appreciate any help in order to be able to root my device. I like it all in all, but in Chinese devices/Android it's not possible to use many apps, especially Google Play, which has way more and better apps than the local AnZhi (which is not bad itself).
Here's my phone's Software specs:
Android version: 4.0.4
HTC Sense version: 4.1
HTC Sense version: 4.1
ROM version: 1.24.1403.2 (Tue Nov 27 xxxxxx 2012)
Software number: 1.0.0.T528t
HTC SDK API level: 4.25
HTC Extension version: HTCExtension_403_1_GA_26
Kernel version: 3.0.8+-gb21afcb [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT
Baseband version: 0.11.w1233p2.013.23-553.13.03.01
Build number: 1.24.1403.2 CL130246 release-keys
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
If my HTC does not apply as ONE S, then I apologize for the trouble. And if you can help, I'll be forever grateful.
Cheers to all, and Happy Holidays

I'm in the same situation. No Google apps on the phone and tried to install Google Play Store manually and although it would install it wouldn't run. I figure it must have something to do with Google and China not getting along too well - perhaps some pernicious China Mobile software preventing the installation of anything that would make the phone useful?
Has anyone had any luck?
To root this device, first you need unlock the bootloader, then you can use the tool from here.
To install Google Play and other Google services, you can do it by copy the APKs to system/app then modify permissions, owner and group.

How to install Google Play services on Htc T528t
HTC ST by Uel said:
Hi! Please share to us how you did it. I need the google services badly. Thanks! Hope you'll read this.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
First you need to unlock the bootloader following instructions from the Htcdev.com website.
Goto htcdev.com and click unlock bootloader -> Get started.
Select Htc One as your device and proceed, you will be asked to login or create an account in case you don't have one.
You need to acknowledge that you have accepted the terms and conditions first.
The instructions on how to unlock the bootloader are then shown to you, follow that step by step guide and you will have an unlocked bootloader at the end.
You may need to flash a recovery on to your device, don't remember if this was quite necessary but for my case I flashed the recovery i have attached here with fastboot.
You need to download GAPPS For ICS 4.0.4(haven't attached any link for this but please look around) you will get a zip file which you will copy to your phone's SD card.
Reboot into recovery and choose update zip from SD card, browse for it and apply the update!
Note: Not really sure whether its necessary to update the ROM but I did it for my case because I was basically trying many things out.
still needed to do this rom change ?
if this is still wanted then contact me ....
i work with rooted telephone containing 4.1.1 rom and google play plus europe keyboards, google play etc
easy to make recovery file and send it
I can not speak English. I have a Htc t528t. No Gapps package. I have not installed Ruu yet .. I have not installed any recovery with FastBoot .. I did not load the above recover.img file .. no recovery is installed (twrp.cwm .. Touch) .. please help .. there is no gapps package .. root is on the device ..

Maybe it`s because the rom you`re currently used doesn`t have google framework installed,you could either flash another rom or flash gapp.

[Completed][Q] Hasee E50 S1 | Google Play Store Error

Hello All,
My uncle has recently came back from china and brought a Hasee E50 S1.
He tried to install Google Play 4.9.13 using an APK file, but anytime I run the play store I get the following error message:
"Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."
I've googled a lot, no concrete information about the specific device, but many suggestions generally that didn't solve my problem.
At first I deleted the app data and cache, which seem to work until I've tried to download an application from the store and the same error came back. following attempts of this method didn't event get me back to try and download an application.
I tried to install a different version (4.5.10), download APKs of Google Play Services (3.1.36 and 4.4.48) and delete app data and cache again.
I've read that making Play Store a system app might help, but the device is unrooted, and I do not know how to root it.
I have experience in rooting Samsung devices, and maybe an HTC or two, but I didn't find a guide for generic rooting who seemed "safe" enough to try, especially because I didn't find any "unbrick" guide for this device (and no one will probably ever create such a guide...)
I've switched to a different Google account, and too - no change.
More information about the device:
Model number: Hasee E50 S1
Android version: 4.2.2
Baseband Version: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V11.P7, 2013/12/12 21:57
Kernel version: 3.4.5 Thu Feb 27 16:07:13 CST 2014
Build number: Hasee_E50_S1_V1.3
Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks to all those who bothered to read this post,
wipkiko
Hi,
There may be a way to root but you will more than likely need more thank just the playstore apk to get it working
Being there is no device specific info for you that I can find either try asking in the general q&a forum found here

[Completed] Updating OS on a Visual Land VL-107?

Hello. I'm not sure if this is a good place to ask, but at this point, it can't really get much worse. I know that this is a good, reliable site, and I figured that if anyone could help me, they'd be here.
I got a VL-107 (Visual Land Prestige 7) the other day and it's been a nightmare. I can't use Pandora because it crashes constantly, I can't use my favorite texting app because it freezes and crashes the moment I start typing, I can't use Snapchat because "my device isn't compatible". I spent several hours yesterday just getting the Play Store installed and working.
I suspect that the OS is the main problem (4.1.1, but I've never seen such a horrible Android OS, so I don't know if it's clean), and I'd like to update to a more recent Android version (hopefully 4.4.2 or so). I've seen a lot of stuff talked about, like Clockwork Mod, something called LiveSuit, etc but the most recent .img file I've seen was I believe 4.0.3, so obviously that's not what I'm going for.
In some places (maybe tabletroms), I've seen talk of people being able to make modifications by treating their VL-107s as "Allwinner tablets", but I didn't fully understand whether that would still be valid. I'm willing to do some experimentation with updating if need be, since at this point I basically consider the tablet as good as bricked.
I have a basic understanding of installing ROMs, and my tablet is rooted. There are no system updates available.
Specs (I don't fully understand these, so go easy on me):
Model Number: VL-107
Android Version: 4.1.1
Baseband Version: inet1.0_20121016
Kernel Version: 3.0.8+, [email protected] #19, Fri Jun 21 14:04:01 CST 2013

Hello, and welcome to XDA!
Based on the kernel version, looks like you have been upgraded to something custom already, and it's buggy. You may want to go back to 4.0.3 for some stability. At that point, some of the failed apps you tried may start working (assuming they don't have a minimum requirement of JellyBean or KitKat).
I would, check out this thread, it's the best place where your device experts can be found:
> General discussion > Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking > Creating a Backup/Recovery/Dump
Note, in order to post there, you will need to have an XDA account.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Thanks a lot, I found out that I'm registered already so I'm going to head over to that board right now and see what I can find. I'm happy to go back to an older version if it means a working tablet.
