Is it possible to run Android Market on SDK 1.5?
It works on 1.1 with installing the 4 files: vending.apk, talk.apk, gtalkservice.apk, setupwizard.apk
anybody knows how to make it work in 1.5?
Thanks
you have to download the google developer phone images (system.img userdata.img) from the HTC site and overwrite them in the emulator image directory (don't remember exactly where it is)
find image files
do you know where can i find custom rom images ? the system.img userdata.img etc
Thanks

I can boot the Ion ROM image, but it refuses to use the LAN (emulator pass-through) connection so Marked is not really a possibility after all.
I can use it without any modification
It's the same for me: with the files (recovery.img, system.img and ramdisk.img) from the HTC package, the emulator works well but the network connection is missing. What's your procedure?
I wonder if we can just pull out the proper .apk's and .odex files from the Ion ROM image and install/replace on the stock Cupcake image in the emulator. I did this with the Amazon application but have thus far not been successful with the marked.
I got it to work by doing following:
1) Downlaoded and installed the android SDK.
2) Run the command prompt and go to the tools dir in the SDK.
3) Greated an avd with 1.5 as target with the a default hardware profile. ('android list target' get a list of targets, 'android create avd -n enhanced -t 2' creates the avd as target 2)
4) Download and unzip this image file. update-cm-3.6.5-signed.system.img.zip extracted it and put the system.img in the enhanced.avd folder.
5) Opened the emulator through a project in eclipe. But can be done as command as well 'emulator -avd enhanced'.
6) When android is running i first went to market and it seemed to work fine except that the downloads never started. So i tryed to install the MarketEnabler.apk and everything worked fine.
The system image is a developer image, and loading android on the emulator first time took quite a while.
So finally i can get the apps from Android market on the non-google branded mobile
ddms file explorer does not work
Wow, market now works on my emulator.
However when i tried to pull the apk from the emulator, the ddms's file explorer does not work.
How do you pull apps ?
please help.
thanks
can't pull apk files
the same here ....
I got he emulator working with Android Market - apps are downloading fine
... but how do you get to those apk files downloaded to emulator AVD - so that you can then install them on non-google branded Sapphire device ?
many thanks
has anyone got the gps emulator working with update-cm-3.6.5-signed.system.img.zip ? Would really like to test out gps apps and keep market apps enabled. I can only get geo fix to work with GSM disabled.

Is this possible on 2.1 now or is it just for 1.5 still?
And if so where can i find the img file?
I would love to know if this work with 2.1 as well.
I made a Android 2.2 system.img with market,
su and busybox for Android SDK AVD, that you can download here: http://www.ehalm.at/avd-2-2-market.php?l=en
There is also an installation guide.
Please read them through so does the Market correct.
This video will explain again how to make the market work:
Thanks Ehalm, your system.img helped me a great deal because I have a Velocity Micro Cruz Tablet without the Android Market. After a few days of tinkering I was able to get the Market and protected apps on a SDK AVD under Linux Lubuntu!!!
Here's a link to a thread I started in Slatedroid forum to help Cruz Tablet Owners.
http://www.slatedroid.com/index.php?topic=14771.msg119065#msg119065
AVD 4.3 with Play Store, SuperSU and more.
New version with Android 4.3 available!

Hey guys,
Ok so a few weeks ago i got a G tab 10.1(p5200) as a gift. And the next thing i wanted to do after rooting was run kali linux on it, but i was disappointed to hear that its x86 based and most of the arm-el or hf images for kali linux failed to work .
So after a little tweaking and lots of trail and error i finally got kali to run on my tablet here is the summerazied step of how i did it(if anybody is intersted i can post full step-by-step instructions)
0. installed busybox-i686 binary
1. extract and mount filesystem.squashfs from kali live 32-bit iso.
2. create list of files to be copied using find from an irm image.
3. create a ~5.5GB ext4 image.
4. copy the files on the list using "for" loop.
5. mount, chroot, use
I know the that ^^ wasn't very informing but im currently testing the system for problems, and when i get on a good connection i'll upload my images, but until then i can show you how to make your own just comment .
P.S: i didn't proof read this post and for that im sorry, if you find any error's feel free to correct them.
Epslon
I am intrested ..
Hey, I just found your post. Well, is a pain when having this device SGT3 10.1 and you have intel processor. Linux deploy or other apps is useless in this case. According to your post that it works on p5200, I would like to know what you've done and the steps you took to make it works in detail.
Hi all.
Complete noob here - just wanted to document my journey for resurrecting my daughter's Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet to make it usable again.
It had stock rom on it (android 4.0.4) ICS and would not update. Consequently, none of the apps were working and basically it was ready for the trash.
Yes, it's 7 years old, but hey, why throw it in the trash - I thought I'd have a go at rooting and updating. It took me a couple of days but now it's done, it's updated to 7.1 Nougat and working flawlessly.
So here is my Journey - I hope it will help someone. Big thanks to all the Devs out there who have put countless hours into keeping this tablet alive (especially decatf who appears to be very nice person
This assumes no prior knowledge - but be warned - I am not responsible for any damage you cause to your device or if you "brick it". If that worries you do not proceed! By following the below guide, you will be wiping all data from your device so proceed with caution!!
The following worked for me to install Android Nougat on my device - mine is a GT-P7510 but I used the files for the GT-P7500 because when I tried the specific files for the P7510, they didn't work). You might have to get creative here and there to get yours to work!
1) Create folder on your PC / Mac computer desktop to put the required files in;
2) Download the files from here:
- Odin3-v1.85.zip - or do a search for it (this will be for "flashing" twerp onto your device)
- twrp311-20171009-p4.zip
- aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip
- P7500-open_gapps-arm-7.1-pico-20170416.zip
- GalaxyTabHacks.com_SuperUser.zip
- USB drivers if you need them are here: http://gizmoword.com/Files/2017/09/24/samsung-usb-drivers/
3. Instal Twerp / Custom Recovery
Before you can install custom software (Nougat etc) you will need to root the tablet. Before you root the tablet, you need to install TWERP which will allow you access to things like backup and recovery etc.
To install TWERP follow this guide and ensure you make backup before proceeding to step 4 - that way you can always go back to your stock image if there are any problems.
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/11/h...od-recovery-on-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
NOTE: in the above, it mentions ClockWorkMod (CWM) - However CWM did not work for me, so after installing CWM - I then installed TWERP (they basically do the same thing). I am not sure if you can simply install TWERP instead of CWM - but I installed TWERP over the top of CWM after I had followed the above guide.
4. Root the tablet: The following guide was very helpful to me;
https://theunlockr.com/2012/05/18/how-to-root-the-wifi-only-galaxy-tab-10-1/
and / or this one:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2361571
5. Now you should be ready to install the custom ROM (Nougat)
Follow these guides:
https://www.droidword.com/2017/11/2...10-1-gt-p7510-to-android-7-1-nougat-aosp-rom/
and here is the source code and infos;
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-10-1/development/rom-android-7-0-nougat-t3471350
6. After following the above, I installed Gapps Pico (very small google basic apps needed for tablet boot e.g. playstore etc)
7. Reboot device and enjoy the setup. Congrats - if all went well you should now be on 7.1 Nougat and can download all your favourite apps.
You can also download and install other software e.g. Chrome browser optimised for your old tablet
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...t/app-chromium-m56-optimized-tegra-2-t3550210
Best of luck! Note - I am not developer of any of the above. Kudos to all the devs.
I followed your directions and now play store does not work. Can you help me??
I had to experiment with this because some of the files gave me problems. Aside from the aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip which does work some the files don't. I ended up using TWRP version 2.8.7.0. (there is no official TWRP for the GT-P7510. Closest one is called "Picaso" you can search specifically for that one). Whichever GAPPS you decide to use must be an "open" Gapps such as, open_gapps-arm-7.1-full-20181106.zip.
After flashing there were difficulties. Google Play apps won't download or install. Google Chrome or any other Google related apps do not function. There are no developer settings. I even tried to download some Developer Setting apks of which none work. The ROM in itself looks and works good except for those bugs. Camera and flash actually work properly.

Android 8 or 9?
Great post. I'm also a noob but am going to give it a try since you've laid everything out so nicely. One question I have before getting started is do you think this will also work with the latest versions of Android (8 or 9) rather than Android 7? Thanks much for any advice before I take the plunge!

My curent opinion is that the Android 7 version works better overall.
thread: Complete Guide to Root and Update Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
ok so most of the roms i have tested are overcome v2.3, nougat AOSP 7.1.2 , cwm clean rom v2 and others on the GT-P7510MA and i must say they are awesome builds to try and ressurect the tablet giving life to it but these Roms seem to dont give it the core functionality of playing games or even being able to handle the YouTube app version came in the pico packages or downloaded from the play store, can you developers from GitHub please work on this tablet.It gives constant crashes on playing games downloaded from the app store or opening certain apps other from that you guys would make my day and i would generously donate cause you guys deserve every penny!!! please fix this and we are ok worked for me but everything except games and the YouTube app. People remember most of these developers don't have the tablets, time or cash so we have to test on our tablets, donate so there cup of coffee doesn't runs out and report to them effectively right before there coffee runs out!
I'm still using mine. There were some similar issues I had and if I remember correctly Google play was the main issue with other Google apps. I think and this is going on memory. You would install the ROM then the GAPPS, but not flash both at the same time. Or Google apps would lock up for some reason and give you some issue. So for it to work correctly you flash the ROM. Turned it on and let it load up. Then you would turn it off so you could start up the TWRP recovery, then you would flash the GAPPS.
But Channel 48 put out a video on this if you get confused. This is the easiest way.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rN1Xwskjjfw&t=914s
And the update to 8.1 is also an option.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_bsR1Az3Sw&t=312s
Thanks @Casper Young I will take a look at the 8.1
It seems Channel48 has a lot of helpful videos. You can search for your exact model on his search page: for example, I am checking on P5110 here:

Hi, there, everyone
I've been trying to download the files needed, but most of the links no longer work. Where can I find the programs needed?
So I'm trying to get Viper4Android running on my MTCE_WWW Android 8.0 headunit running the stock ROM. I've rooted the system via the adb "injection" method (SuperSU). Root access seems to work fine for everything I've tried.
So then I downloaded the Viper4Andrid files (Viper4Android_FX_v2505.zip) and installed the "Nougat_IO_test_fix.apk" version of the app. I run the app and tell it to load/update the Viper driver - it takes about 30 seconds and says that the driver was installed successfully and tells me to reboot. I reboot the device and try to run Viper4Android, but it goes back to the driver update/install prompt. The actual driver install doesn't seem to be working (even though it says it loaded successfully).
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?
Thank you in advance!
Ok, I finally got Viper4Andorid working on my MTCE Android 8.0 head-unit... I ended up having to do everything manually (manually editing audio_effects.conf, manually putting the lib4a_fx_ics.so driver file into the proper directory, etc). Since there is no custom recovery available for these MTC? Android head-units, I couldn't just flash any of the flashable V4A .zip files I found online - so I basically did everything a flash would do - just did it manually via a file explorer.
Let me go back and figure out the *exact* steps that I took and then I'll come back here and make sure to document the exact steps I did - may help someone else in the future...
I do realize that I could have just installed one of the custom ROMs that have V4A built in, but they seem to run a lot hotter than stock (from what I've read) and I would rather only install mods that I acutally want to use - instead of installing a bunch of stuff that I will never use and will just make the system run hotter.
So far, from my VERY brief testing, V4A seems to work very well though.
Hello mate, where i can found the steps did you use?
Hi,
New PH-1 owner here. Just got the phone new from Amazon. It was on 7.1.1. Immediately it upgraded to 9.0, and then to 10, build QQ1A-200105.32 with Feb. security updates. Impressive! After reading through some (a lot) of the material collected about the phone, I decided that at first I'd only root it (i.e. without installing TWRP) with Magisk. After getting familiar with the two rooting guide ("[GUIDE] Rooting your Essential PH-1" and "[Guide] How to Install TWRP & Root Essential PH-1(Method 2)") I actually followed this write up, and it :crying:FAILED.
I tried both ('PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip', and 'PH1-OTA-QQ1A.200105.032.zip') Essential provided images and with both Magisk (v. 20.3 and MMgr. v. 7.5.1) failed with "Unsupported/Unknown image format"
So, that's the status, and I'll welcome any and all advise on the above, but in the meantime, a question:
1 - If I flash this ('4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181.img') image will I loose Android 10,or the ability to have later upgrades?
Thanks!

First, TWRP doesn't work well with latest stock ROM (QQ1A.200105.032), if you'd like to use TWRP, you should use one level down (QQ1A.200105.007)
Second, there's no more upgrade for this ROM, Essential stopped support it, and Feb update was the last one.
Thanks for your reply. For now, all I would love is to get root and not loose the ability to get future updates from Google (I do understand Essential is toast, but with Android 10 Google will provide many updates, right?). So, not much interest in TWRP, just root.
Regarding 4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181.img: what Android version does it have, and when installed, can it be upgraded?
Thanks

Maybe I don't quite clear about your question, but why do you use that TWRP file?
I always use the official one from TWRP
https://twrp.me/essential/essentialph1.html
And regarding to Google update, as long as you don't use custom rom + microg then I believe you always get updated from Google Play store for your apps.

Ah, yes! My interest in 4.4.166-stock-twrp-mgk181 image is because, a) I failed to get root with Magisk, and b) this is a `fastboot` image that's already rooted (notice the mgk181 part of the name), BUT because it was made in January of 2019, I think (if it does, and I know too little to know that) it contains older version of Android, hence the question about whether I will be able to update from it.
Thanks

As I understand it Google will push some updates/security patches for Android via Play store but not everything, you still need updates from your manufacturer (which we now won't get) so you likely won't have all security patches, for this you need an up to date custom ROM like LineageOS (only at ver 9 pie currently) or maybe use the GSI (see Android 11 preview thread) but that is still in development at the moment so probably not suitable for daily use due to bugs & missing features.

I don't use TWRP, but I do have root, so if that's enough for you, see the steps below. Magisk version that you mentioned (v.20.3 and MMgr. v.7.5.1) works perfectly.
Since you are already on Feb update (the latest and the last one from Essential), you don't need the OTA zip. You only need the "PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip" - the full fastboot image. Make sure you download and install the ADB/Fastboot from Essential website on your PC - it comes bundled with the Windows driver linked on their Developer page. Also make sure you have a good USB cable (do NOT use the one that comes with the phone!), and avoid using USB3 ports on your PC (use USB2 instead).
1. Extract boot.img from PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip.
2. Install Magisk Manager, if not installed already.
3. Copy the extracted boot.img to the phone, then patch it with Magisk.
4. Copy the patched boot.img to PC.
5. Reboot the phone into bootloader.
6. Run the command "fastboot flash boot <your_patched_boot>.img" from your PC.
7. Reboot the phone.
8. Enjoy the root access.

True. Eventually, a proper custom recovery, like TWRP, might be essential (har, har) years down the road (although I only now am coming down from a Moto X (first gen, 2013) that between AFWall and XPrivacy I managed to keep on stock firmware all along), but now I need to get this phone prepped up for daily use, and that means getting root first of all (and from kt-Froggy's note I shall... I see now where I goofed).
I appreciate your input. Thanks!

Thanks! From the above, it looks like I messed up on the very first step; I was giving Magisk the whole PH1-Images-QQ1A.200105.032.zip file and not the boot.img extracted from it. Oops!

That was my suspicion from how I read your post... ? Yeah, you need just the boot image extracted from the zip. The process is really simple, and it's been working for me with no issues, apart from one specific laptop where I was consistently getting errors for no apparent reason, so I just used other PCs.
