[Q] CynogenMod 7 issues on the GTablet

I apologize if this is the wrong area for these questions. I'm having a few issues with my installation of CM7. I've tried looking in several places, but nothing seems to address my problems.
First thing I noticed upon installation was that I was never asked to set up my touchscreen or input my google information. I tried doing this manually by adding an exchange account, but that would not work. I next tried looking for my apps to see if they installed automatically this time around or not and none of my previous apps show, nor does market exist anywhere. Without any instance of market to be found I can't use any of the market fixes. However, without an inputted google id I don't think that would have mattered.
Can anyone guide me to where I can find help for these issues or post any possible solutions?

Google apps - Flash right after you flash CM7. You might have to bypass the setup, but should be able to open the market and input google login. It won't auto download, but you'll have some market access.

Read the dev thread for other issue and such, don't have the time to dig through and help further.

As the previous poster said, install Gapps. That will give you the setup screen the first time you reboot the GTab. As a word of warning, I wasn't able to bypass the first screen (touch the droid) on the main version posted in the development thread (the Beta05), even with the click around the screen. I was able to get past it right away on the "offical" build in post 18 of that thread, however (Beta01).
Let us know if that doesn't fix your problem.

Thanx alot guys. I was finally able to get market going by installing gaps and using the CyanogenMod 7 bet01. I ran into the seup screen issue with the Beta05 just like you warned. I didn't do the full market fix as everything I wanted was readily available. I'm not even sure if the full market is absent or not.
I am noticing that after you mount the USB connection you can't unmount. Also, my internal storage isn't recognized. I think there were fixes for some of this in Beta5. Is there a way to update to Beta 5 without having my previous problems or some other fix for the USB and storeage issues to anyone's knowledge?

flash to vegan5 and you will be way happier.
I tried CM7 and it had so many issues.
Once you flash vegan5 you will actually enjoy your tab

You can try flashing beta5 over beta1 and clear cache/dalvik. I'm not sure if that will work, but would be my best suggestion.
On the other hand, I actually agree with the previous poster saying that vegan is probably the better option at the moment. It seems much more stable and feature complete, even if it is froyo instead of gingerbread.
Either way, make a nandroid backup so you can go back if things go sideways.

I didn't get to post this before the responses. I did actually go ahead and flash over Beta01 with Beta05. I just didn't wipe the data or cache. Everything came back just fine. This fixed the storage and usb issues in Beta01. However, you have the previous audio issue from older builds where you have to plug in headphones and unplug them to get the audio back. I've tried VEGAn 5.1 and it works awesomely. I'm merely choosing aesthetics above overall functionality.
My tab has been delegated to fancy entertainment device (comics, casual browsing, games and video). It does all I need for now. I figure since VEGAn and CM7 are joining forces, why not do the switch early and test it out. I love where they're going with this ROM. I can't wait to get my grubby paws on a finished product.
Again, thanks big time for all the assistance. I generally skulk and read through the threads, but I love this place and all that everyone provides for the lesser technophiles like myself.

I thought maybe I could post my own problems to this thread?
So I'm on cynogen 6.1.1 on htc evo 2.2.1 kernal [email protected] #1
Anyway... I've tried 3 times to install the update to 6.1.2 today and each time it's gotten stuck around 58%. Any links to places I'm sure are there and I just couldn't find?
Also, for some reason, for the first time since I got my evo, I'm getting TONS of errors when attempting to send sms. theres a pink like traingle with a ! in the middle. Any suggestions?
How do I fix the bug with the camera?
You can email me if you like, at [email protected].
I am sort of inbetween a newb and whatever the next level would be, lol. This past week I was able to root, and install a custom mod, AND install an update to that customed mod (which is the one i'm on now) all w/o ever posting any questions to any forums. Hopefully that'll get me some brownie points?
Please PLEASE please!! I will even paypal $10 once I get this resolved.

This usually means the installation was corrupted in some manner.
And it's usually because of a corrupt zip one would flash with.
You can reflash cm7 with another fresh downloaded file if you still have access to recovery mode.
Which I think you should be able becase the boot up process makes it up to the "Android" Bootscreen before it starts bootlooping.
From Advanced Recovery mode you can mount the USB option for the SDCard then transfer the fresh DL to your SCDard that way.
Also make sure you are using bekit's version .8 of CWM while in recovery mode.
Grab CWM v.8 from here
Other versions of CWM don't work well with the GTAB.

Market loads but will not download

Like many around here I picked up a Woot GTab and suffered the soft brick problem where one could not get past the Viewsonic screen on both Cyanogen7 and VEGAn-TAB, I finally was able to use NVFlash to go back to stock and then flash Cyanogen 7 this evening without any issues.
Now, I have (had actually) a working Cyanogen 7 install but the market (even after performing all market fix steps) will not function. I can load up the market normally, I can search and select apps to download, but once I select them for download, the download will hang and nothing will come down.
Out of frustration I flashed the ROM again over to VEGAn-TAB and while the device works fine otherwise, I experienced the same exact problem with the market. So right now I have VEGAn-TAB installed, it works fine, I can browse everything in the app market, but nothing will download. I'm fairly new to rooting (though I did it on the Nook Color with the SDK), but I've exhausted my search-fu on these forums and I'm going to break down and ask for advice. Anybody have suggestions of what to try next?

With the market fix, in the first time sometimes it takes a few minutes. Just let it sit there while you go do something else. After the first time (which could take up to 10 minutes or so), all downloads after should be instantaneous. If you still have a problem, come back and we'll try something else.
PS - You currently do not have full market access. If you want to have full market access, you need to change in build.prop the line ro.something.device=whatever to ro.something.device=olympus. This will give you full access to everything.
Edit.
BTW, please tell us how you are applying the market fix. You need to do specific things in specific order. If you deviate from it, you will not get the right result.

Try to install cm7 or gingervegan and don't do the market fix. Do not restore any system data with Titanium if you are.

Thanks for the responses guys.
I'm at work but I do have my device with me, so I can futz a bit, but not spend a lot of time working on it. I did originally try CM7 and VEGAn-TAB without the market fix, so that's been tried (no system restore either since it's a clean system and there's nothing to restore).
I followed the instructions found here for the market fix. I don't know if this is the "proper order" or not, but it was the link I found. I have also let the system sit for three hours and it continued to sit at the "Download starting" status. This has occurred on both CM and VEGAn-TAB. Is this even the standard market problem? I can see everything in the market, it's just I can't download what I can see.
One thing of note is that I did not change the build.prop the line ro.something.device=whatever to ro.something.device=olympus. I guess I'll go look that up, but as I've never actually changed the code, that's going to take some research. I'm curious though, if this isn't the standard market problem, will this fix it?

cm7 does not require the market fix. If you can get to the market and not download then something is borked on your tab. If you cant find the market then you need to install gapps.
Wait.....did you repartition your tab to anything other than 2048 and 0? If you did then that could be your problem

Here's the order of what I tried.
I installed Clockwork Recovery .8 without any problems.
I tried to flash CM7 and couldn't get past the Viewsonic boot screen.
I tried the same with VEGAn-TAB with the same result.
I read a few threads and discovered I needed to use NVFlash to restore back to stock in order to get a GB Mod to work, which I did.
I then flashed CM7 and DID get past the boot screen and everything loaded up with no issues. At that point I had a 2048 and 0 partition.
I tried to access the Market with no problem, but I couldn't install software so I wiped and installed VEGAn-TAB. This install was also on a 2048 and 0 partition.
The VEGAn-TAB install had the identical problem that the CM7 install had, I could see everything in the market, but couldn't install, so I wiped again back to a 2048 and 0 partition again and reinstalled CM7.
On the second install of CM7 I tried to do the market fix, but without the modification to the build.prop. This didn't do anything.
I repartitioned again to 4096 and 256 (off of the suggestion on another thread I found) and did the market fix (off the instructions I found here) which did involve modifying the build.prop file. Marketplace still functions exactly as it did before.
I can find the market. I can open the market. I can search the market and find all sorts of apps (all of them by the looks of it). I can select apps for download. Once I do so the app will stick at a status of "starting download..." and it will not install, even after letting it sit for three hours (I was in a meeting, it wasn't that big of a deal). On a side note, I can load apps over Windows and then opening the .apk file manually without a problem.
I read somewhere trying another different Google ID, which is about where I am right now, either that or throwing my hands up in frustration.

Its not this hard. If you install cm7 and then gapps it should just work. It doesnt need a market fix or a build.prop change.
You will definitely have problems if you are partitioned at 4096 and 256. 2048 is the only setting that works and android doesnt use swap so 256 is a waste.
Just a stupid question? You are install gapps on your tablet and not trying to install apps through the web market?
Try logging into your Gmail account on your tab before messing with the market

Market fix not the same as you need
There are a lot of suggestions here that do not address your problem: You can open the market, search and find apps, but they will not download....
This has nothing to do with any market fix (where you cannot see or search for specific apps like "Launcher Pro" or "Dolphin HD Browser"...
What I think is happening is the market app is trying to use your Cell Phone for downloading, not your WiFi. (I know that you can connect and see the market over Wifi....) I had the same problem myself after flashing VEGAn Gingerbread + pershoot's latest. Gtab has no cell phone.....
Funny thing is the Amazon market works fine.
My problem seemed to fix itself after a day or so, (after flashing pershoots Froyo overclocking kernal) there is no setting I can find to force the market to use wifi downloading. I cannot say what I did or didn't do.
I'm planning on waiting a day or so, to see if the problem clears up by itself again. If anyone knows a better fix, please post!
Thanks

Im afraid any suggestion that we make at this point won't address any of his problems.
But he could try this

Make sure time and date on your tab are correct

My date and time were OK, I was able to connect and download from another wifi service outside of work. I usually have no problem d'loading apps while on the visitor VPN, but possibly market needs to connect once and then it's fine.
Thanks for your help.

I had the same problem with seemingly every rom I was using. The apps would show up in the market but would stall out while downloading. I tried all the fixes. Tried loading Google talk/voice but still no luck.
I ended up going back to stock with MVflash and starting over.
I'm currently using this rom: http://www.udrom.com/forum/index.php?/files/file/213-gtablet-330/
and really like it. The market shows pretty much everything and I didn't have to do a market fix. The only issue I'm having is that a couple of my apps don't fill the screen completely like mobile banking but I can live with that for now.

Vegan RC1
With the latest Vegan (Gingerbread RC1) it runs flawlessly for me.

[Q] Flash Player 10.3 won't install on new TF

My 1st post...need help, please.
I got my Transformer yesterday...everything's great except Flash Player 10.3 won't install. Yet no problems with other apps I've done.
I done it about 10-15 times through android.market and just end up with the message 'this app will be downloaded to your device shortly'...only it's been going on over 12 hours and it hasn't.
Tried it through default brower (app store directly)& DolphinHD...I can see it download, but it won't install.
I think on the 1st download I got disconnected from the server, but retried a lot of times since.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
PS Just tried something I found where Facebook app took a long time to install.
I hit the upper right 'app', saw the download appear and installed from there-that worked for this one and a couple others...but, not for Adobe Flash-tried it numerous times. Still looking for a solution, since this is why I wanted the transformer(s)

Find the thread named "flash 10.3 modded for hulu" or something like that and download the apk from there, then sideload it. From reading your post it seems u were trying to install flash from the web market and not the market app on the phone? If you haven't perhaps try that. Sometimes even on the market app some apps might take a few tries to install.

i've had issues with the market where it will say it is downloading something, but never starts.
easy fix, back out, then go back to the app you want to install and click install again. this solution has worked for me the handful of times I have needed it.

Thank You both for the help! Boy, this shows me being a newbie
I got it and I don't know how long I had it after trying 30-40 times. When I go into settings/applications/Manage applications...it was sitting there!
But, when I look at My Apps it was still sitting there to install and never gave me a message that I already had it. And when I looked at app icons it didn't show up...since learned it's not an application, but a plug in-so I was looking for it in the wrong place.
Lacrossev, Thanks, I did find that thread. Got as far as manually downloading it to my computer, plugged my TF into the computer which it saw....then I got totally lost on what to do. Now I'll search for more info on 'sideloading' in case I need it in the future.
In the end I spent 4-5 hours fighting this and had the fool thing-wow!
Thank you again Elgenja and Lacrossev for taking the time to write! Just yesterday I was going to send it back, now I really like it and not having any other problems...really pleased and learning.

Unless watching Hulu is a must for you right this moment, I wouldn't bother with the modded flash package just yet. It's still a work in progress, the current version bugs out if your browser is ever closed, and requires you to uninstall then reinstall flash to get working again. The install process for it is also a tiny bit gimmicky at the moment. If you just want flash working for everything else, just stick with what you have and enjoy hulu when the modded package works more easily and is more stable. That said, I follow those directions there everyday when I watch hulu on the TF, it works.

I had flash already, but when I upgraded to 10.3, it kept on saying done, but still shows that it's not installed and the "update" button was still available. No matter how many times I press update, it didn't install. But after rebooting it did. Try that.

Had the same problem updating Flash with mine. Had to go into settings and Manage Applications and uninstall the Flash that was already there. Then killed Market app using Advanced Task Killer. Opened Market again and it installed fine.

What steps should I try next to be able to search for apps in the Market

Hello everyone, I am looking for some help and suggestions. Recently the market on my Transformer Tablet has stopped working. I am no longer able to search for any apps. I can browse the market fine but searching for anything will only bring up random books. I have the US version and have had it since the release. I am currently stationed in Japan with the Marines but have not noticed this issue until within the past couple weeks. Originally I was running Revolver 3.11 when this all started happening and then upgraded to 3.11.1. Within the market I can start typing "tita" and the search will bring up "titanium backup" as a suggestion but neither clicking the suggestion nor finishing typing the whole thing myself, will bring up any results. I have tried many apps and games and all produce 0 results. Even apps that I am looking at while browsing will not show up once searched. Here is everything that I have tried to fix this.
First I tried using the online market to install apps. I can find an app through the online market and it even shows my transformer when I choose a device to install it to, but once it says your download will begin shortly nothing happens on my tablet and nothing is ever downloaded.
Then I decided to try clearing the cache and data and force stopping the market. This made no difference. I then tried restarting after clearing it all again and no luck.
Next I thought it could have been an update to the market that broke it so I found some of the older versions and tried installing them. I tried versions 3.3.1.2, 3.4.4, 3.3.11, and 3.2.0 and none of them made a difference.
I then tried the market switcher found within the revolver app and flashed that. After that didn’t work I tried the market enabler app as well as the market unlocker app but still had no difference.
After all of that I started trying different roms. Each time I installed a new rom I would wipe the data/factory reset as well as wipe the cache and dalvic. I first went to an older version of revolver 3.9.5 followed by the Krakd 1.5.2 rom and then Android Revolution HD 2.3.2. Changing the roms did not make any difference. Then I tried using the super wipe flash files from Android Revolution and then installed the roms and it was still a no go.
I also decided to see if it was my internet so I switched to tethering it to my Desire HD. But still no change. On another note, my cell phone as well as my GTab all still have working markets.
Finally the last thing I’ve tried was a fix used for the GTAb here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861044&highlight=market+fix still nothing as well as the steps found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1411288
I have seen a similar post in the revolver thread but the member seemed to just need a fresh install to fix his but that did not work for me. I have also found a couple posts on other forums with some people having the same issue but there are no solutions. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

I think the market is blocked in certain countries like China, Japan might be one of them too.
If it is blocked on an ISP level you would need to use a proxy

Hi
Have the same problem. I'm in another country allso. I asked Google for help, and after 13 mails it is still not working. But I have this problem on SGT P-1010 (no 3g) and TF 101 (no 3g). They claim that device cannot determine it's location!
All the time I had absolutly no problem with market on my SGS phone! Even If I try to do anything on Market while both were on wifi, it was all the same. SGS search and purchase yes, tab no.
Browsing, serarching, purchasing on PC and sending on device is working only fpr phone, tab is greyed out "this blabla cannot be installed in your device's country.
But, I found Chomp (search market, or browse as long as needed to get to it). Now, when I want something for tab, I run Chomp, do search through it, press install and it is working. Except purchasing.
Second option, I search and install to phone, backup it, transfer to tab and install.

Getjar and Amazon is an alternative if you can't figure this out.

VZW bloatware keeps redownloading after being removed even on custom/rooted ROMs

I don't know if there's a thread that already covered this. I searched the forum and only turned up one slightly similar topic. Anyway, I've got s-off on my M8, I've been flashing ROMs, and anytime I use anything Sense-based, all of the Verizon bloat redownloads upon reboot. Every time. Even after uninstalling, going into the play store, and removing the apps from my account, it all reinstalls after I shut the phone off and turn it back on again.
It's happened for me on:
Stock
cleanROM
Android Revolution
The only ROM that doesn't do this to me (that I've tried) is digitalhigh's GPE, which makes me think it has something to do with Sense/some kinda HTC sync/something I'm missing that isn't in GPE.
Take cleanROM for example. It doesn't have any bloat included, but upon setup my phone immediately began downloading those bloatware apps, which appeared again on my play store app list. I'm stumped.
Anybody have a similar experience/know the answer? The whole reason I went through the trouble of rooting, getting s-off, flashing a recovery, and flashing ROMs is to get rid of the bloatware, but if it just keeps redownloading no matter what, that defeats the purpose. I could stick with digitalhigh's GPE, which is a great ROM, but it's got a bit of lag, the camera is ****, and the carrier information is unknown, so I don't consider it stable enough to be my daily driver yet.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know the answer. I'd say initially it sounds like you have google set to auto install your apps, but that should only happen when you first initialize a new ROM. You can prevent that by unchecking the option during the phone setup. But you said you deleted the apps from your google account and this is happening by just a restart so...
What I would do in the meantime is install Titanium Backup and freeze all the apps you don't want. I wouldn't freeze/uninstall anything unless you are absolutely sure of what it does and everything it's associated with. Freezing should stop them from downloading and updating. They won't appear in your app drawer either.

PS - don't freeze BlinkFeed. I made the mistake of thinking it was just the social integration app. It's actually the launcher.
Also, this is probably something that would be fixed by an internal wipe in recovery. You most likely have some latent folders that never got wiped. I would first try a full wipe with internal (not system!).

Just an idea, I really don't think it would work but you can try it out. Maybe if you'll use supercid the bloatware won't be download

No related at all. That is for a device check while flashing. It is probably like the person above said, it is probably just restoring previously installed apps since most of that is on the play store.

Turns out I had Google set to back up apps. Derp.
I could swear I didn't turn that on when I did initial setup. I usually don't miss something that obvious. Oh well. Problem solved.
Thanks for replying tho guys.
