I recently discovered this app at ubuntu forums, and was really hoping to use it on my computer, but it seems it's functionality broke in the 10.10 update to ubuntu.
also looking at the times and nature of the thread, I'm thinking that the original developer may have had other things come up and is no longer working on it. It is open sourced and was wondering if anyone else would consider picking it up for development, it seems it could be a really useful app!
Here's the source page

the thread i found it at on ubuntuforums is here

+1 loved this app, was great, upgrade to 10.10 broke it. Does anyone know why? Do the commands change?
Hi all,
I have just got my Viewsonic VPAD 10 and was a bit sad when I saw that market wasn't on.
So anyone fixed market on a VPAD 10? Can it be done in the same way as in the G-Tablets?
/M
Is that the one that dual boots windows and android 1.6?
According to the Viewsonic products page it is... 1.66GHz Atom, dual boots Windows 7 & Android 1.6...
be interesting to hear batt runtime and quadrant score...
As to market, I suppose that you could use adb push to get the market app on there and then try the market "fix" in the dev forum... worth a shot anyways...
(It's the one that Sears initially mis-labelled the gTab as...)
As we tried it for a couple of days now it seems like it runs for aprox 5-6 hours on WiFi
Haven't tried with the 3g yet but it will come
Is it the "Full market (improved market fix) on G Tablet", "The Viewsonic G Tablet Super Thread (w/Market, Gmail, and Maps!)" or which thread do you mean
/M
I'd try starting out with low expectations, and go with "The Viewsonic G Tablet Super Thread (w/Market, Gmail, and Maps!)"...
what it essentially entails is getting market installed, running it(setup), try to download(IIRC), the back to home...
at that point you can try the Titanium Backup method(never worked properly for me as I had to do what follows) or
1. go into setting and find the section that lists running apps
2. find market, clear data/cache, force close(quit) it
3. find Google Services Framework, clear data/cache, force close it
4. run market
5. get error -> reboot
6. no error, back through 1-5 again
When it reboots IF it works, you should see more apps in market, but you're not going to see all of them as the VPAD 10 is running a fairly old version of Android as it's the last one to support x86 completely...
Now IF ALL of that works and gets you market, you COULD try to do the extended market "fix" to see if it lets you see any additional apps...
(I picked up the above steps by researching the thread from which the "fix" originated for a different device and version of Android(2.0 IIRC), and figured where it fit into the TapnTapped version of 2.2 on the gTab... )
Also you need to be aware that the VAST majority of Android devices are ARM based, and if an app uses "native" code, it's just not going to work on that VPAD since it's x86... it's the downside of that particular tablet for Android, but OTOH you can just run Windows and likely have an easier time getting a linux distro on it eventually...
[EDIT]
Caveat: this method may not even work for 1.6, and some of the apps/services listed may have different names in listings under 1.6, so you MAY end up having to look on another forum for how other 1.6 devices gained market access... e.g. MANY of the Via WM8505 based tablets ran 1.6, e.g. aPad (IIRC) thei rmethod fo rmarket access may work if the above doesn't or has enough differencces...
[/EDIT]
Has anyone figured out how to do it yet? I spend most of my time in windows 7 now cause the android build feels so crippled.

Have you tried the new online market? Also, there is info in these threads about a version of 2.2 for the Viewpad:

Thank you very much my good sir, I now have a direction to follow. I hope this also leads to a working market place.

Please let us know how Froyo runs on the ViewPad 10.
We got some FireFox OS phones in and I was wondering if there is anyway to get Android loaded onto the phone instead of the FireFox OS. It seems like an OK phone, I'm just curious how it might run Android if it can.
I did some searches on the forum if anyone has done it yet, but I came up empty. If someone can point me in the right direction that would be great!
They are the Geeksphone Peak (I would like to post an image reference, but I'm a newer user, sorry!).
Thanks!
I'm a recent convert that left the iOS world and went with Android (Pixel 2 XL). Amazing phone & loving it.
But my question, which has probably been asked 100's of times: just how safe is Android? I ask because shortly after I went with Android the whole thing came out about Chrome automatically signing me into their browser when I use my laptop and Chrome didn;t bother to tell anyone or has addressed the issue, as far as I know.
So in 2018, exactly how safe is this device and the Android platform?
Hey ya'll!
Been running snooping around the xda forums for a while now (2017?), and even compiled lineageos for myself last year for the first time! Gots a question not phone related though. (o:
I have acquired a sony alpha 6500, and it still has the original firmware on it that it shipped with when it was new (2016). I'd sure like to save that before updating to the newest one, as it seems it could have some value for developers as well as for historical/museum value for archive.org. It seems like it's android based as some of the documentation I was reading suggests that opening an android shell might be useful to me, which I've never done/don't know what to do with.
Some folks have had some success with this tool: https://github.com/ma1co/fwtool.py . I did run the tool with the "--help" command, but it didn't offer any insight to the switches that are available or how to use them and I can't seem to find a manual for the fwtool. I think this is the tool I'm supposed to use to get the camera to give up everything that's on it right now, but i don't actually know.
This site won't let me make an account right now to ask for help: https://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/12756/sony-alpha-hacks-talk/p11 which seems to be the developer of the software that fwtool.py is a fork of possibly? It didn't have any information about how to use the flags/switches for the app either. That's why I'm asking here
Is anyone able to explain from this information I've found so far what command I would need to run (from linux terminal or windows cmd/powershell) or if there are additional steps needed in order to save or backup the current "ROM/OEM Firmware" that's currently on the camera? Or point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
