Hi....I installed some apps from my G1 also. But the ones that depend on the market for update or rely on web interaction either won't install, force close or don't work quite right.
Man I sure hope that someone might tackle rooting this device soon. I think it has so much potential for being a useful device.

Rooting the Cruz Micro
Via tether its already rooted. Just adb shelled in and su works fine. So no rooting necessary as I understand it. However I am not a firmware guy so just my experience.
I did notice when I used Cruz Marketplace I got the option for Android Marketplace which has thousands of apps - not sure its Google's but worked well. One item to note is that the CPU in these is not an ARM but MIP's. It hasn't been a problem for me (if I am desperate I will just use a cross compiler to build something) but I have heard it caused issues on other forums for people.

Processor Information/Docs
I was in with ADB playing and got this from cat'ing procinfo.
system type : JZ4760
Hardware : PT701
processor : 0
cpu model : Ingenic Xburst V4.15 FPU V0.0
BogoMIPS : 527.56
wait instruction : yes
microsecond timers : no
tlb_entries : 32
extra interrupt vector : yes
hardware watchpoint : yes, count: 1, address/irw mask: [0x0fff]
ASEs implemented : mxu
shadow register sets : 1
core : 0
VCED exceptions : not available
VCEI exceptions : not available
Googling Igenic will find their site for you. Notice the XBurst in the name. They have a lot of PDF's and information on their FTP site which the website links too. Unfortunately they have great detailed PDF's on the JZ4755 but nothing on the JZ4760. Had me wondering if they took a previous design and just customized a bit for the client.
I do realize of course that a LOT can change in even a small revision of a chip. Anyway - for the 4755 they have cross build tools, linux demos, board designs, nand and usbboot instructions etc.. Even the tool chains to build for the mip's.
Man this is the best XMas present my wife has got me in years

Is there a hack to install Android Market on this Cruz Tablet? Thanks.

Android App Store App
The Cruz Marketplace (cruzmarket_com/mkt/mhome.asp) currently has a app listed 5th from the top as I am viewing it now called:
AndAppStore - Android Market Place App
FREE
This is how I installed mine, and it works like a charm.

(sorry for incomplete URL but am noob and can't post URL's)

I would love to find out if there is a way to port any of the existing ROMs to this device. The touchscreen is not responsive enough with the current firmware, but the keyboard is- that tells me there is the ability to increase responsiveness... other than that, the ability to run auto task killers would help because it looks like most apps stay resident and slow the device down considerably. Two problems that can be fixed by tweaking the firmware I believe- any developers out there with the desire to take this on?

You may want to check what's going on at slatedorid's forum. Google slate droid velocity cruz... cannot post the link

I have one as well.
I really like the device even though other tablets are offering better features in low-end tablets. I checked Best Buy today and it was $169. I got it for $199 last week before CES. I have the 7 inch T10(x) series. The capacitive display is ok for me, its like getting to know a new friend. Lack of security, Android Market, and built in obsolescence of the OS are bummers.
Worst - a smart device that keeps all your stuff but doesn't even have simple password/PIN protection. Doh!

Sorry to burst your bubble, but that app does NOT give you access to the true Android Marketplace. The Android Marketplace is a Google hosted site, and it has thousands of apps. The Android App Store has less than 2k apps, definitely missing some big important ones, like the Pandora app for Android.
There ARE hacks to get the Android Market for the Reader, but so far I've not found a hack for the Tablet (and yes, there IS a difference).
Good luck to the OP. If anyone comes across a hack for the Tablet, I would love to know.

I got the T408, i have tried twice to install market and failed both times. I am one-click-rooted as it has the 2.3 Gingerbread... easy enough... now i just cant get half the apps i want from Amazon, or Applanet.

Google Market on Cruz Velocity T410
OK so my son got the T410 for christmas, I've got it rooted and am working on a push for the google market and frameworks. Should have it pretty soon. I'll post it as soon as I do.
UPDATE:
I will go through this quickly as it was actually pretty easy. This is how I did it, I had no problems so I would not anticipate any, however standard disclaimer, I can't be held responsible for anything you do to your device, I am simply sharing my experience. What you choose to do is up to you. I didi this on the T410, but I would expect it to work the same on the T408
1. Rooted with gingerbreak and installed superuser and busybox over it (search for it)
2. Placed the app folder (found inside the gapps.zip attached to this post) on my internal sd card.
3. Installed the apps in this order:
I DID NOT OPEN ANY OF THESE APPS AFTER INSTALLATION, ONLY CHOOSE DONE AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ONE.
onetimeinitializer.apk
setup.apk
googleservicesframework.apk
gmail.apk
maps.apk
talk.apk
vending.apk
AFTER THE LAST ONE IS INSTALLED, I REBOOTED MY TABLET.
Upon reboot I let the tablet fully cycle the sd card checks and all that, once I swiped to unlock the home screen, I was met with a decision asking whether to use Launcher, of Setup Wizard to complete the action.
CHECK THE BOX TO USE ACTION AS DEFAULT AND CHOOSE LAUNCHER
4. I then opened the google market, signed in with my gmail account and once it had synced my device with the google servers (yes WIFI must be on and connected, I had to say it because you just never know) I had access to the market.
I have downloaded a few apps and have had no problems, it is an older version of the market and I don't have market updater installed, but I may try that later.
I have also noticed when looking in the account and sync area, it will sync my gmail, but not my contacts or calender, I will have to look at that later as well.
Hope this helps

Was Able to root my wife's T408 as well with gingerbreak and have market 3.3.4 running on it now.
First I installed apps in the order you did had done. The version of Market is dated for sure but I was able to update to 2.2.6 via the stock OI File Explorer. Anything later then that seemed to crash. I then used SU & File Explorer to r/w the /system/apps/ folder , moved the newer 3.3.4 Market APK there and installed from that location along with a system reboot. Once rebooted the new market showed up right away. Only issue is some apps list as not compatible with device but having my wife use her Sidekick 4g to download and back up the app and email it to her tablet Netflix , Firefox , and many others ran with no issue even with Market saying not compatible.

I have noticed that as well. Seems like since the Market added the ability for apps to be device specific that alot of apps don't show up for devices that aren't supported. I am playing a little with the build.prop file and when I get it correct I will let you know. Even root explorer would not show up in the market, but I purchased it from amazon and Im using it to drop apps into place.

Android Market - I used the JGM ROM, rooted with z4root, and had blank Market. Accessing market via laptop showed my Cruz listed, but no serial number. Gave up, but then by luck a week later, I went to the Market on my laptop, found an App and selected my Cruz as the device to download it to. 2 hours later, sure enough the Market was working, and that select app downloaded.
It almost seems like you have to prime the market first for the Cruz via a computer...

Hipstreet TITAN HS-7DTB4-4GB Tablet - Proper Rooting, Market etc.

Hi all,
I picked up a cute little tablet for my young kids to use on trips in the car from my local Walmart called the Hipstreet Titan HS-7DTB4-4GB. After poking around the OS, i found out it was rooted but not properly and you couldn't even run the android market on it to unlock its' true potential. Since I found out that only branded (Samsung, Sony Acer etc) Android tablets have access to the marketplace, i got verrrrry curious as to how far i could push this little piece of technology to...
After some exhaustive searching on the 'Net, this is what i have come up with:
SPECS:
7" Capacitive touch screen @ 800x480
Android 4.0.4 OS
4GB built in capacity - expandable to 32 GB with Micro SD card (not included)
1.2 GHZ CPU single core A8 Cortex CPU
512 MB DDR2 RAM
Rechargable 2600 mah lithium polymer battery built-in
High speed direct micro USB 2.0 interface
WIFI 802.11 b/g/n
Built in speaker
Built-in front facing 300k camera
Multiple language format
After downloading Tasselhof's Root, Market utility HERE i was fully rooted and ready to go.
****UPDATE 08/26/2012*****
PROGRESS!!! After rooting and running the market fix with the above utility, i rebooted the unit and ran the android market which i then was able to download and install an app successfully WITHOUT A FC!!!
This problem is a major headache for tablet owners who have a partial root. Try to get an app to install from the market/play store and you would end up with an FC every time!! Not anymore!!!
I will add to this as i find out more... stay tuned and feel free to update me via PM if you find out more than i have here!

i'm a little confused, you are manually installing su, superuser.apk and busybox only. no rooting taking place or market fixes...
Open a ADB shell and you should see a '#' If you don't, you're screwed. if you do, just type these commands!

this doesn't invoke a sense of confidence my friend.... the utility i link to in my post actually roots the unit completely, and fixes the market issue 100% so we can help those whom you term as "screwed" not be "screwed". right?

Actually my method gives you root but I'm revising it for safety reasons as I managed to brick my tab and get a new one
The manual install still works its not meant to do google market

The below rant requests a pardon from the MOD.. being a senior member i am flabbergasted at some members that just walk in and start cross-posting and making a mess of things in the OP.

I am now further confused... your method DOES NOT invoke root status at all!! You are simply installing the binaries!!! you even plainly state this:
Open a ADB shell and you should see a '#' If you don't, you're screwed. if you do, just type these commands!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
you DO NOT get root by simply installing the SU and superuser.apk binaries! if the user does not get a root prompt from the get-go, you leave the user hanging with "YOU'RE SCREWED" and that is the end of it! you are making an assumption that the unit has root access and just doing what others have posted by installing the binaries, not actually rooting or fixing the market issues as i have stated in my OP.
my linked utility from Tasselhof invokes/repairs root onto the HIPSTREET unit since up until now this tablet has had little exposure on XDA and has not been able to be rooted or have any utilities for it. I posted the utility because i have (after exhaustive experimentation and recoveries) found a utility that WORKS with this model.
We are here to HELP people out of these situations, you are just making it worse!! You aren't even breaking ground, you're burying users in false information!!

Hey repherb, how is the tablet? I have a Pandigital Novel but oh boy is it a piece of sh*t. it is so slow, the screen has to be pressed very hard to get it to move and the Wi-Fi, works, but only about 25% of the time.
I installed kewlguy's ROM he made and I have the App Store and more features, but the Wi-Fi still sucks.
I was wondering if the Hipstreet Titan is any good. Google Play isn't that important as I can apps off of Appbrain, of get them off my S3.
How is the screen for sensitivity? Does the Wi-Fi work well? My father goes to Dialysis 3 times a week (4 hours each time) and I want to give him the tablet so he can play his online checkers and freecell while he is there. Does it have Flash?
Many thanks for the info,
Ian

The 4GB Titan tablet from Hipstreet works very well with the stock ICS ROM, as long as you run Tasselhof's full root. once that is done the OS really opens up. The 4GB on board allows for me to store some movies and music for the kids without the need for a microSD card.
The screen is multipoint-touch so the kids enjoy it for google earth etc. and responds to light touches. the kids do not need to be forceful.
The WiFi is good, rarely losing signal outside the house on the front lawn at about 40 feet from the router through the house structure to outside.
Flash can be installed on this unit, best to do it once you fully root from the utility. My 8-year old daughter plays online barbie and nick jr. games on the websites without a problem.
Hope this helps!

Hey, I used this and it worked great, with one exception... I didn't back anything up, and let the tool replace the build.prop file, now things are very very broken. Does anyone have an original build.prop that they backed up? Or failing that, a known working one that I could try?

Will it work for Hipstreet Nova 4?
Hi repherb,
Thanks for this great info.
And I have question:
I'm getting Hip street Nova 4, that is basically Titan but with HDMI port. Do you think this method of rooting would work?
I'm not guru, rather advanced user so would really appreciate some help.
Thanks!

The instructions there are for another tablet and my understanding that some steps are not needed or even be harmfull for Titan tablet.I've used Newtech utility for one of my Titan tablets, and it worked with the exception of Calendar synch issues and i think it's really reduced camera resolution/quality. I just got another Titan tablet and would like to tryTasSelhof script. Thank you in advance.
Also can somebody post alink to an original /clean Hipstreet Titan firmware/image backup?Just incase somehting goes wrong. I couldn't find information on how to create full system back up.
Thank you!!!!

Hi all,
I picked up a cute little tablet for my young kids to use on trips in the car from my local Walmart called the Hipstreet Titan HS-7DTB4-4GB. After poking around the OS, i found out it was rooted but not properly and you couldn't even run the android market on it to unlock its' true potential. Since I found out that only branded (Samsung, Sony Acer etc) Android tablets have access to the marketplace, i got verrrrry curious as to how far i could push this little piece of technology to...
After some exhaustive searching on the 'Net, this is what i have come up with:
SPECS:
7" Capacitive touch screen @ 800x480
Android 4.0.4 OS
4GB built in capacity - expandable to 32 GB with Micro SD card (not included)
1.2 GHZ CPU single core A8 Cortex CPU
512 MB DDR2 RAM
Rechargable 2600 mah lithium polymer battery built-in
High speed direct micro USB 2.0 interface
WIFI 802.11 b/g/n
Built in speaker
Built-in front facing 300k camera
Multiple language format
After downloading Tasselhof's Root, Market utility HERE i was fully rooted and ready to go.
****UPDATE 08/26/2012*****
PROGRESS!!! After rooting and running the market fix with the above utility, i rebooted the unit and ran the android market which i then was able to download and install an app successfully WITHOUT A FC!!!
This problem is a major headache for tablet owners who have a partial root. Try to get an app to install from the market/play store and you would end up with an FC every time!! Not anymore!!!
I will add to this as i find out more... stay tuned and feel free to update me via PM if you find out more than i have here!

Works on Hipstreet Flare 9DTB4-8GB 9" Tablet however I think I messed myself up. Took 1 extra step too much.
I managed to root, but now I have lost my bottom taskbar, and thus the ability to see multi task, back, volume up and down.
On Boot up I get "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped"
I made the huge mistake and backed up nothing from the start, so apart from my major sin, how can I get my task bar back?
Need a clear step by step as this is my first android.
Oh I can still surf, view app store... but since the task bar went I can't install from the store ( error ), but I can with an apk download from web.
Any advice would be welcome.

After downloading the file Just unzip it contains two folders one is .img file of firmware and other is Livesuit folder.
Follow the below mentioned step for flashing via Livesuit.
1.Before attaching your tablet to your PC, run the file 'LiveSuitPack_v1.07.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. This should install a new device on your system (VID_1f3a_PID_efe8). This device may show with an exclamation mark in Windows Device Manager, this doesn't matter and can be ignored.
2.Without attaching your tablet to your PC run 'LiveSuit.exe' from within the Livesuit folder. You should get an application with 6 icons.
You will be asked if you want to be guided through the process, select no
3.Click on the leftmost icon (a cube), browse to your downloaded firmware image Zync Z1000-OS.img, and select it.
4.Turn the tablet completely off. The tablet should be off throughout the update process.
Now attach your tablet to your PC by USB cable whilst holding down the volume+ button on the top. Straight after attaching the cable, and whilst still holding down the volume+ 5.button, start pressing the tablet power button repeatedly (approx 1 press per second for 10 seconds is enough). This procedure puts the tablet into update mode.
After a few seconds a window will pop up on your PC asking if you want to perform a forced firmware update. You can release volume+ at this point. Select yes. You will be asked if you're sure. Select yes.
The update will start and will take take approx 3 minutes to complete. You will see a % complete progress bar during the process and will get a dialog saying OK when it's done.

Hi nilesh:
Please post the review of the tablet as soon as you receive it..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i am sorry to say but i cancelled my order as tab doesn't have gps
basically i was going to need it for navigation
now waiting for galaxy nexus 10 the beautiful one at cheapest rate

I'm planning to get this tab, but please give PURE review of hows the tab performs, cuz this tab has passed my spec limits I.e 1GHZ CPU, 1GB RAM, >8" screen. But 16:9 OR HD type.
...
PROCESSOR - Which ARM Architecture, how it mutitasks, is it same as previous zync tab with 1.5ghz(many tech sites reviewed the CPU as very bad)
SCREEN - DPI, brightness, viewing angle, touch response, text clarity, color quality
RAM - OK it has enough.
BATTERY - how much it lasts on continous 3G(or 2g internet), Charging time, does it charges through USB.. etc..
CAMERA - No need.
OTHER - supports OTG?, HD video playback, webpage rendering, PDF OR text crispness +, +, +
ALL this info is VERY CRUCIAL to me. As this will be my FIRST tablet EXPERIENCE, and I don't wanna to be discouraged/feel bad about its features.
AT LAST- if the CPU doesn't fares even with 1GB RAM, then I may flock to any DUAL CORE cpu. As the upcoming HCL ME tab is having all this tab features + 2Cores. Also the budget trend is shifting to dual cores.
I can wait.

Review of Zync Z1000
I received the tablet yesterday from flipkart, At first I was not impressed by the features, but after using for one full day I came to the below conclusions:
Pros:
1.Network connectivity is good for both 3G and 2g,Don't confuse it works alike a 3G mobile i.e we can use it for voice, video calls on 2g and 3g networks respectively, and also we can connect data on 3G, Edge and GPRS network.
2.Screen resolution is O.K type.
3.Touch is good,
4. Sometimes the tab lags, but most of the time it works well
5. Support HD videos and games, works well
6. Aldiko ebook reader app included, best for reading ebooks and PDFs
7. Somewhat sleek and slim in design 13mm thick.
8. Charging via USB port, I charged the tab via my Samsung micro USB charger.
Cons:
1. Though 7000 mah battery included the battery last around 5-6 hours only.
2. The tablet is little bit heavy around 1Kgs
3. Easy to hold in portrait, than in landscape mode.
4. Inbuilt key board is not so good.
5. Camera quality is worst, though its not main purpose for me.
6. Lags and force closes with 3 or more applications
Overall it is nice tablet for new buyers and average quality for those who were already using tablets or Ipad.

Yep, You may not believe that, the review you provided, I had viewed previously, so I jumped over this thread mentioned by you on flipkart which bases the post I posted on this thread above.
So if this your final review then I'm not impressed by this tab performance OR will wait for major tech sites testing & reviews.
Until then congrats & enjoy.
---------- Post added at 01:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------
As per your review, Everything is OK for me, but the true LOW-DOWN is its CPU.
Cuz, I'm a heavy MULTI-TASKER(not games but large memory consuming apps), and net user, so....
As far as the apps crash automatically is may be due to high temperature.

Android Version : 2.3.5 Kernel Version: 2.6.38.6-perf+
The phone is identified as Byd SP355AWG.
This phone is loaded with bandwidth-stealing intrusive ads that take up a quarter of the screen, and a boatload of crapware. I want to root this phone to remove the bloat. I have changed to the stock launcher but the ads and alerts persist. I have tried the following to root:
SRSRoot
Gingerbreak v1.2
Framaroot 1.9.1
Motofail
Casual
Universal GB Root 2.5
DroidRazr Root
Doomlord V4 ZergRush
Droid Easy Root V7d
SuperOneClick v2.2
Mastermind Root A52
Easy Root ZergRush
Karbonn a7+ Root
Z4Root
PDANet V4.12
Poot and Ministro II
SuperUser
Instant Root
UnlockRoot Pro 4.120
SparkyRoot
Some of these exploits were one-click wonders but many were CLI (ZergRush, pneuter, Gingerbreak, MotoFail, Rageagainstthecage etc). ADB and fast boot were set up properly. I can access recovery mode by pressing volume up and power. At the end of my trials, I learned about X-Ray For Android. Once installed, this app proceeded to inform me that all the vulnerabilities it searches for have been patched. Yippee! Just my luck to get a hardened OS. Is there any other way for me to root this phone? Thank you for taking the time to help me.

Rooting app for MTN Steppa
Apparently it can be done with the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2663772

Yes, thank you for keeping me updated. Wiz-Marlifa's method of using Pro Root Myanmar works very well. Wiz-Marlifa deserves a Bells.

MTN Steppa
Hi, I'm having problems with debugging apps on this phone. After the initial set-up, I can get ADB to show it in the device list. But DDMS doesn't show any running processes on the device. I've tried different ADB drivers (The ones that come with the phone and generic Google drivers). I tried debugging over TCP/IP with the same issue. When you start debugging the app it launches on the phone and hangs at the 'waiting for debugger' process and does not resume. So installing and running apps work perfectly but not debugging. My debugging does work on my other devices and the AVD's. Anyone know about this issue or anyone know where I can start trying to solve this issue? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

MTN Steppa
I have encountered a problem two weeks after root with Pro Root Myanmar.Everything was working perfectly then all of a sudden i cannot get past the activation screen it says no service and reboots every minute or so. I have tried the boot recovery still does the same. So i'm wondering if it is a virus maybe messing up the /efs IMEI directory I made no backup so i will try mtn and find out if the phone is maybe blocked or if the phone is actually faulty when i keep it next to a radio i can hear it tries to connect to a network. Anybody have any ideas.

After the process is not done then try the iroot.apk which is also in playstore

[Q] Proscan PLT8015-K C/W ICS4.0.1 root possible?, AND Vipre found virus in rom...

For starts: Mods (tia, but these suggestions aren't quite the same... ) I did do an internal / external search to no avail. The search queries were:
Proscan PLT8015-K (etc., as above,) virus.
Proscan PLT8015-K (PLT8015K, PLT8015, 8015, and other variants,) Root.
The unit in question is my daughters Graduation gift, to which I had to setup. As always, I have a good habit to install Vipre Mobile on any android devices we have, and so... Vipre detected a threat (Trojan.generic.androidOS) in the app "app stores." Tried to uninstall it, and the option isn't there... I stopped it, and disabled it. Vipre asked if it should be uninstalled, and gave me the option to uninstall it, but it is always unsuccessful.
Proscan PLT8015K Specs:
http://www.proscanvideo.com/item.asp?itemnmbr=PLT8015-K
Found some firmware there too...:fingers-crossed:
So I'm told by a semi-reliable source (CPR Edmonton) and a friend (reliable) that Google won't allow their app store to be installed on these Proscans for some friggin reason or another (citation required.)
Why, everything else Google is on there...
So question 1: Since I'm concerned for my daughters security AND safety, The only way to remove this "app stores" crap, is to have su privy on this 'droid, right?
and obviously, question 2: Has anybody considered rooting this bad boy, or should I consider starting this one.
Question 3: I suppose those dingleballs over at CIL have patched the vulnerability we found in earlier models?(btw it's 4:20 here, not 1:20... jk. again, gotta love their tech support:
