Hey guys
i've just got me a brand new Acer M900 and its rather spanky, however, it doesn't include Opera, Java or Flash Lite on it. I've installed Opera Mini (latest beta) but where would I get Flash Lite and Java from?
All my googling has failed

Cruz Reader useful apps: Version 0.01, please check out:
This is *nix archive with a script that installs some well known apps on the Cruz Reader!
It may be that rooting the device is needed before, maybe not, have only tried with a rooted reader...
(want to go to the Market anyone?)
To give the due credit: This was inspired and uses parts of the RPMscript archive for the ePad zt-180...

Cruz ereader needs Android market
Just bought the Cruz ereader. Are you able to get Android market on it? I downloaded the Flash APK and installed flash 10.1. Everything installs fine but flash doesnt work. Is there a work around? If you having trouble using youtube try downloading the youtube apk from Velocity Micro Cruz support site. With a few tweaks this can be a good device. Specifically flash, android marketplace and overclocking.
Market, Maps and Gmail on the cruz

Yes, you can install Market with the pushgoog.sh script. Thi should work on machines with android sdk, and as available from the download link in the slatedroid post that is referenced in post #1 above.
The pushgoog.sh script should work on linux and Mac machines as it is, for windows boxes the script can be easily changed into a batch file (pushgoog.bat or so).
script, rooting and all that stuff is foreign to me. I'm a newbie when it concerns computer stuff. I was hoping had an APK file ready to download/install.

It is now somewhat easier, since all is needed to install Market on the Cruz using Windows XP is available through two downloads linked here

but still no apk, sorry.
I just got a Cruz Reader. It is very slow and unresponcive. I flashed the Macho Rom. Market works and Gapps work. If someone could develope a dounut rom based on something like ZXdonut. It would be perfect for this device. It would make this device usable. Right now is so slow and makes me think of G1 running Froyo.
Velocity micro cruz reader??
Yeah I ordered one last week can wait to root it and I wonder if there will be any chance of 2.1 or 2.2 coming to this reader???
I just picked up one last night from BestBuy for $99, and I used a modified ROM from user PandaBomb over at SlateDroid that roots the device upon flashing the ROM. I'm happy with the device...for simple web browsing and twitter/facebook updates it'll be fine. I installed Pulse to have a Flipboard-like app and I'm happy with my e-reader . Here is the link to the forum over at SlateDroid that will guide you: http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=12820.0
Thanks for the link, I'll check it out, as I just picked up the Cruz Reader at Best Buy as well! It's a neat little device to be sure, but I was upset when I discovered that there was no pre-installed Android Market app installed... (And the Cruzmarket is a bit it a huge let-down for me)!
I thought I read something about one it the (hack/mods/???) not working with the R103, but the 101 & 102? I'm new to Android hacking, but have messed around with a few other devices in the past (moto razr, Dash 3G, etc), but don't want to brick this thing on my first try!
Anyone else have any recommendationsof what to do with this little device?

I am stuck too! I downloaded the ROM update and updated the Cruze. Then I downlaoded the java SE SDK and the Android SDK and the ADB drivers. The write up said to install java SE on root of your harddrive at C:android-sdk I did not have that file on my laptop so I created and installed there. Then the write up said to install the android SDK there and the ADB drivers as well. So I extracted those two files to C:android-sdk-windows. then it said to open the SDK manager from that file and so I opened it and then it said to plug Cruz in via usb. I have done this but it seems everything is being installed on laptop not Cruz! HELP PLEASE
any news on updates 2.1 for the cruz reader?

Android Market - I used the JGM ROM, rooted and had blank Market. Acessing 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, 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...
Hello community; I really need Adobe 10.1.1 to install on my android tablet so that I can read my textbooks in class without using slower pdf viewers. The problem is that when I try to run the apk off of my SD card, it says "Parse Error -- There is a problem parsing the package" ; I am using a White Pandigital hacked into using the Android software, so it has a 7" screen, this might be the problem for why I am getting this error. Additionally, I cannot download from the Android Market because Google won't let me; so can I edit the code or something? I have no idea, but any help would be appreciated

Hello XDA Community. I could use a little help. I'm trying to root a Kocaso Tablet model# M1062 which is using Android operating system. My question is which Firmware can I use to upgrade the current rom that is in this tablet. I am unable to use the old web brower on this tablet to activate google playstore or any apps it says out of date browser and I says I need to use use a different browser. I can't even download any apks off my sd card either since I can't find the right Rom that will work for this tablet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
