which ROM gives proper/better chance of Full Market registration? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I'm using TNT 4.4, good, rock, solid and stable. (this I means full market registration) It lets me push the app from the Market so I don't have to browse the market from my Gtablet. TNT 4.4 registered it correctly under Maker Malata, Model GTablet TNT Lite..etc
Can anyone of you please let me know which other ROMs register the tablet properly in the Full Market? I remember Vegan ROM can register my tablet properly so it showed in my Market Account Setting the model name, maker...etc
I remembered Cynog or Harmony 7 something, and it never registed in the My Market Account correctly eventhough the App download, search are OK but...
thx,
rcjpth

Vegan Gingerbread RC1 has the full market. I saw mentioned that Google Voice and another program (maybe it was Netflix) were signs that we have the full market and I had both of them.

Did it let you install Netflix? I am running Vegan GB RC1 and when I tried to install Netflix from the market it said my device, identifed as Malata GTab etc. was not compatible.

There is a thread that tells you how to edit your build.prop file to fool it into thinking your tab is an HTC vision, thereby getting the market and netflix working.

A full market does not depend on a rom but on the way the tablet is described in build.prop.
I like to set ro.build.product to olympus myself.

[Q] some apps not to install

Hello,
just a beginner with Android and a happy owner of an archos 101 with froyo running, I discovered some strange behavior of the system. For the very first time I installed PocketCloud (but never used it) and a lot of other apps. I had also the patch for accces to the goole market applied. But I did not root the archos (donĀ“t know how...)
Few days later the archos crashed and I had to reinstall the system (from the systemmenu).
With the app "app 2 SD" I moved some apps to SD.
Now some apps I could not not install or update, e.g. dolphin HD, world newspaper, MyPiano and PocketCloud.
Searching some forums I tried not to move some apps to SD (so redo) - that worked for MyPiano: I could update. Also for Dolphin HD.
But I cannot install PocketCloud . Now I am looking for a solution, because I think it is a very usefull app and convenient to access my multimedia PC via tablet in my local network.
Any suggestion what I should try?
Check this post (I don't want to take credit for Lolo's typing). It is how to do the "Market Fix". This is a pretty standard fix for Android.

I use pocketcloud on a regular basis. It works fine, BUT it does not work with Zeam running....
Google Sky Maps is one that does not work for me.
I've tried more than once installing/uninstalling and still, nothing.
Yeah I'm trying to get the Polaroid Bluetooth POGO printer apk to work but its a no go an forget about sideloading it fails and when I download it from the market I get Installation error -17 wtf is error -17 I have no idea and apparently neither does google

TNT Lite Market

I am not sure if I have any market wierdness going on. I have (I think), the latest TNT lite installed. When I search for certain market apps, like USA Today or Facebook, they do not appear. When I search online it says they exist in the market.
I just sort of assumed that once I loaded a ROM, that I would have access to the full market.
Thanks in advance,

[Q] Nook App on CM7 not working

I am running CM7 7.1.0 RC1 off sd card when I load the nook app and log in I see my newspapers Wall Street Journal and Barron's but when I try to download I keep getting error message indicating file format not supported.
Are yuo using the most recent version of the Nook app? I think at one point the app did not support newspapers and magazines.
I am running the latest download from the market version 2.6.2. Somewhere I thought I read something about a build prop file needing to be changed for certain devices in order to run certain apps like the new market app but I am not sure at all how that works or if it even applies.
I use the Nook for Android app pretty extensively and subscribe to several magazines. When I have trouble with the Nook app, and I haven't for some time, I do the following.
1. Go to applications
2. Click on the Nook app
3. Click on Clear Data.
4. Click on Uninstall
Reboot
5. Go to market.
6. Search for and install Nook App.
7. Sign in
8. Download content again.
I've done 10 NB installs since I had to do that, so I don't think it's a current issue if you get the latest version.
Market shows this as:
Updated: Juune 8, 2011
Current Version: 2.6.2
NB 143 is running smoothly enough for me to think it's good as RC2 for 7.1
Thanks for the information and suggestions. I have now updated to nightly 140 and things are running very good. However I still am having the same issue with the Nook app I have wiped data and uninstalled rebooted and reinstalled several times and it shows that I have purchased subscriptions to both the WSJ and Barron's but when I go to download it still gives me the file not supported error message. When I do a search using the app I see other newspapers available for purchase but not the Wall Street Journal or Barron's. However, when on go online through my laptop they show when doing a search for newspaper subscriptions. I have not tried to download any content through the nook app yet maybe that's the next step but I find it strange that these two publications do not show up in a search using the app. Any thoughts we be much appreciated.
Nook App goes straight to Library
Hope this is on point...
I have an issue where the nook ereader app goes straight to library. This is different than the nook app on my G2x and the videos that I've seen for others using CM7 show the same app as on the G2x. Any thoughts. I'm thinking that this might be due to the lack of an IMEI ?

[Q] Error processing purchase

I am unable to purchase/download applications from the Market both on the gTab and through the website. The Market says "You don't have any devices." and the tablet returns the error "Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options. Since I gotten this error I have gone through the follow steps to remedy the situation:
1. Cleared the Market data in the applications section
2. Changed my Google account password
3. Wiped and reinstalled GtabComb_b3.3_bl1.2.
4. Contacted Google support (they directed me to Viewsonic)
5. Posted this looking for help.
Note that all the apps that I have installed prior to this issue are automatically downloading/reinstalling just fine. I just can't add new apps. Any help would appreciated.

Ran into the same problem setting up GtabComb on my old tablet for my wife (I just got a Xoom). All went fine, all her apps registered under her gmail account came down and installed just fine. I couldn't add any other apps (free) and got the same error you were getting. Google searches gave some suggestions but nothing worked. I wiped and installed CM7.1 (latest nightly) and have no trouble with it.
No answer to your problem....I just gave up after a bit. She is running CM7.03 on her slightly defective Gtablet (can't power off or reboot issue)....so she'll be fine with CM7.1.

Go here http://www.google.com/support/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=cont and fill out the Talk to a Specilaist section. Google wil call you in seconds & you will be put into the phone queue. I've had this same problem twice (Purchase cancelled Error processing purchase" with the "Retry" and "Cancel" options) & each time my wait time was less than 5 minutes. Each time they have had to forward the ticket to the account management team for resolution & it has gotten fixed each time within 48hrs.

@aabbondanza I did talk to someone through android support and was told that they do not support/recognize the Viewsonic gTab. How did you get around telling them that you have a gTab?

It's definitely an account issue. If you press the issue and tell them you have been downloading things in the past & that updates still install fine, they should help you. They tried to pull that line on me this time too (& they just fixed my account yesterday). You may have to fib & tell them you have a different tablet (my rep said my tablet showed as an epad). My rep also admiited in the end that he had a gtab himself.
I'll try and see if I can "work around" things tomorrow. In the meantime the Amazon market is working just fine and has what I need.

I was shown this thread by someone on another forum and it worked great for me just download the new market and you will be able to download apps again, it will not show your device on the online android market but it will work on your tablet.
You will have two markets in manage applications, but i just installed it and it replaced the old one and now uses the new market for the app shortcut.
Also i am running flashback 8.1 Rom. can't confirm this works on all although i assume it should but back everything up just in case before proceeding.

I can confirm it works on GTabComb v3.3 b/l 1.2. This was the second time this week that I got the error (and 3rd time in a month)...first 2 times Google Android support fixed it, this time installing Market v3.1.5 fixed it.

Yep, worked for me too. Gtab looking more and more like a boat anchor, sadly.

I can confirm that this fix only partially world with Flashback 8.1. Now some apps install, and all apps download, but many apps cannot locate the SD card or USB storage. Any ideas gents?
Edited to add: I just made the jump from 8.1 to 9.0. Only a data/factory reset was required and then Titanium all my apps back in. I have not had any issues downloading applications post upgrade and strongly suggest this "fix" to anyone running Honeycomb that has had market issues.

Worked perfectly, for Flashback 8.1 thanks. All apps I wanted now download and install.
I also removed the old market using Titanium Backup.

TNT Shows in stock browser or App

Forgive me if this question has already been asked...ran a search of the forums and found nothing so...
Does anyone know why with a rooted NT (not running another ROM yet) I can not watch programs online through TNT website as well as TNT Android app available on Google Play? The browser will go to the site but fails to load any full episodes. I side loaded the app hoping it would work even though play store said it would not...hoping if I fiddled with changing my screen resolution it would work (using LCD app). In the TNT app it plays the ad before the program just fine, then plays about 8 seconds of the actual episode before I get a message saying my device is not compatible. I checked permissions and the only thing I can see that might be causing this is the setting for the display in the .xml file.
Anyone know what to do? I like watching Falling Skies episodes but can't on my NT. Oddly, I am running an old version if the HBOgo app without any problems. Perhaps the TNT app requires Ice Cream Sandwich? No specs to say on app page or webpage.
Any help would be appreciated!
