How can I go about taking the NFS app off my phone so when I install gingerblur I can push the app back onto the phone?
I bough the full game so I want to keep it but when I install gingerblur I can't find any way to install the game.
I took andcopied the folder in the pre install folder and the md5 file am I doing this wrong?

Just reinstall it from the market once Gingerblur is installed. If you cant, then enable side loading via gladenable and then you can install it from the sd or internal memory granted you have the apk.
Edit: If you paid for it legitimately then there will be no problem getting it off the market again, you wont have to pay for it again. There is a way to pull the apk off, but your going to have to tryout that search button for that one, I dont have time to get it for you as i am at work and should be working lol.
well the problem is that for the atrix the market version of NFS isn't compatible.Only the one that comes pre-installed so I don't know how to get it to work,and being that I already bought the game i'd hate to not be able to use it I really like this game.
Get root explorer and navigate to \data\app. Copy the apk to sd card then move it too your pc for safe keeping while you ginger blur. Move back to sd card and install, phoned must be rooted to use root explorer to pull apk off phoned and sideloading must be enabled to reinstall it.

Assuming you're rooted, couldn't you just as easily use TitaniumBackup to backup the apps and then restore it once you flash the rom?
well yea I am rooted and when I used root explorer to look for the NFS apk prior to flashing rom there was no apk.Remember that since it comes pre installed as a demo with the option to purchase.The only place I was able to find anything NFS was in the pre intall folder wich contaned an md5 nfs file and another nfs fine that was the size of the app itself.
I really should have bought titanium backup maybe I'll flash back to stock and back up and reinstall ROM.....its gonna be a long day
This just dawned on me. On the Gingerblur 4.5 website there is a link to DL the bloatware restorer after gingerblur is installed. I just checked it and NFS shift is included. A CWM install and all the stock installed apps will be available again, NFS shift included.
You should then be able to just copy your save files back into their respected folders and back full tilt again. Hope you get this before you started the process over again.
Actually I just restored NFS,Flash 10.3 and Quick office through root explorer very easy once someone told me where to look,also changed the boot animation and that's all it took was changing some names of file and rebooting and then was all good.Also if you use ADW launcher free you can run gingerblur on landscape on the homescreen.

I would like to remove version that its included in new Phiremod 6.3 and install some other version.
I cant do it from Applications menu.
Any help?
maybe find a free "uninstaller" app in the market and try that
Here is a link to a website you may want to bookmark for the future. Should be able to download and install with root explorer or an equivalent over the existing version, if this is what you are looking for.
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/titanium-backup
You couldn't come up with a better abbreviation than "tit"?
Lol.. like TIBU lol.... use root explorer and delete the apk
Sent from one of those missing Droids
Lol... Didnt think about "TIT" before U mentioned it! xaxaxa
Anyway best way for me was to remove it with some System Uninstaller app.
And then to install newer version I had to put new apk at system/app folder, give same permissions and then reboot.
After reboot install went fine.
The most common short hand for Titanium is Ti.
It's funny because I installed it once but yesterday I installed the alien Rom because I couldn't install the Camera.apk file so I just started from scratch installing a Rom with the camera.apk already install........so I went to the market and see it's the new one, I hate it.......so I went to applications and deleted market/ the update market file too........then place older version of android market in system/app (r/w) using supermanager and also selected the permission button. Then clicked install. "application not installed"!!!!!! Really so then I was without a Market app so I had to reinstall the Alien Rom. Things are so complicated with this device the Evo you could just replace the apk you're good to go. Deoxed
update: I got it. talk about head------ache. all I did was deleted the market app and replace with the "right" old market.apk file. then i had to delete the updater market.apk file because it kept updating the market app. so I did that and got a error type message which closed the market app down. so Then i went installed the update market.apk file again which didn't install so I said screw this deleted the update market.apk file went back to market app and it works now.... so I dunno
update2: I knew it was too good to be true. Yeah the market.apk installed right but it doesn't download apps. I also tried different market.apk version, then it force close again. Screw this i'm just going to find another Rom that hopefully let's you simply install a APK file. after googling, all this stuff about use ADB/android SDK to install a simple apk app this isn't for me. *sad face So yeah I'll just settle with the new android market forget customizing my phone yep.......

just "push" it to system/app? I heard that term before but not really sure what you mean unless just drop the market.apk file off in system/app without installing it. Well right now I have the new android market installed with the update.apk file.
Push/Copy. Same thing really, you should just be able to delete out the app and copy the old market into /system/app. Might not hurt to delete the market in the davlik cache as well.

10 posts? umm yea lol. well what I did was went to supermanager(explorer) then went to the old market.apk that's on my sd card click installed ----> "application not installed" maybe I have to install directely on the phone? Ok let's try that--------> "application not install" like does the photon require a "special" type of apk app that only works on the Photon. gosh. Like does your rom have to be doexed or something?
I'm running Alien1 rom......but can someone help because now I'm without android mark
update: wait I think I'm getting somewhere. I deleted the market.apk app then paste the "older" version. then hit run and boom the newer version installed. hmmmmm must not have the right "old" version.
Not exactly sure what my post count has to do with anything. However I'm glad you figured it out. Just an FYI though, when you update an app that comes preloaded on a rom it won't replace that app instead it'll append a "1" onto the new filename and use that instead hence why you needed to delete the updated file before it would recognize the old market that you pushed into the /system/app folder.

10 posts or not, he seems to know more than you about this, and he is right.You take the apk file and move it to system/app in your phone memory. You can do this with adb push, or use root explorer to put it there. Don't assume that because someone has a low post count they don't know what they are talking about.
You can also uninstall updates from the application manager. It'll re-update to the latest release, though.

I already knew this. That's why i went ahead and replace the files. My problem was why isn't the app working correctly. That seems to be a buggy phone issue because the apk file is in system/app
you can always uninstall the market update then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. When I did it on my Photon I installed the older version of Market (2.2something...) and then used terminal to run about 3 commands that disabled market updater. cant for the life of me find the instructions I followed, but then perhaps my post count isnt high enough for the OP either. Because you know in order to know ANYTHING you have to have a high post count.

Hello there.
I recived a brand new ViewPad 7e (the lowcost tab from ViewSonic) yesterday. Everything works fine (or, almost fine for that price...), but the 7e come without AndroidMarkets (nor Gmail apps, Google Account etc...). It's possible to use alternat market, but I'm looking to use the original one (and, most important, to set up a google account synchronysed with calendar) anyone got an idea to install that ? (I tried some trick for Archos etc... but nothing seems to work atm).
If somone got an idea... thanks in advance
My guess would be that it's missing the gapps framework, you can try installing the architecture independant gapps package from CM7, which "should" work.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Well, it worked by installing the gapps manually, the last point will be to put the market 3.1.3 or so (for the moment I only have th old one), thx again for your help.
Where can I find how to install gapps manually
you said it's possible, where can I find the steps to install it manually?
Thanks

Hi, I also get a Viewpad 7e, and download the Google Apps from CM7
But I could not install in manually after I unpack the Google Apps package.
System will say it is an invalid APK.
Could you help to release the package you install and installing steps?
Thanks.

Guys, cm7 market would not work for our devices as it doesnot meet the criteria for having google market. Yes is ironic but for now we have to rely on the market we have. We have to wait till someone make cm7 work forr our viewpad.
there's a way but i need to translate it because its in chinese i got it it on mine
charlies1112, if you can, it would be really nice to explain how you did it.
Yesterday, I was able to root the viewpad 7e using Gingerbreak v1.20.

dl.dropbox.com/u/34743606/v7e.zip doesnt work for me
Just got my tablet today and rooted it with no problems. But how do I install apk files from my sd card to the tablet. I was just trying to install the volume+ apk and I can see it on the sd card but it tells me that it doesnt support that kind of file. What do I need to do to get this to work?
Execute the *.apk from a file management app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
Still can not open zip files...........
I took my sd card from my rooted HTC EVO phone and put it in the tablet. Then, I opened up ES Explorer and installed Titanium backup that I was using on my rooted phone. I could then go into TB, pick volume+, then hit restore and it would say restoring but would just seem to freeze up. I then decided to power down the tablet and restart it because I could not close out TB because it was trying to restore the app but it was freezing. After I restarted the tablet, volume+ is installed and working correctly. I have since installed the new Facebook and a kids doodle that my daughter would play with on my phone and they all work after I restart my tablet. Weird, but so far its working. I may try some other apps like ebay, etc just to see if I can get them to work too.
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK
This is not all my work but wanted to post my dealing with the Viewpad 7e as most of this forum is for the Viewpad 7

This all worked perfectly on my Viewpad 7e with one small issue when copying the 3 .apk files to the /system/app folder, make sure they are not a 0kb size. If they are just recopy them over and overwrite the files and it should copy correctly with a valid size.
The market wont have allot of apps since the device doesn't support the market natively, so I did a few tricks to get most of my apps on to the Viewpad 7e. You will need to have access to a second Android devices to do the following.
1) Install File Expert (free in the market) on your second Android device
2) Open File Expert and go to My Apps and select the apps you want to install on your Viewpad 7e, then click Backup on the bottom menu. This will creat the .apk files to install on your Viewpad 7e and put them on your SD card.
3) Copy the .apk files from SD card to your Viewpad 7e
4) Open a file manager on your Viewpad 7e and install your apps.
Most apps will work ok but some will bug out and you might be forced to reboot the viewpad 7e (press and hold the power button until it powers off)
If you use Titanium Backups it will install and allow you to restore apps and data, but be warred this will not work 100% so only use it to restore the data not the apps.
Note: If your app was installed on your SD card when your backup was done when you restore the data it will make the app unlaunchable. This should be fine if you move the app to SD card before restoring the data.
Here is a list of my working apps on my Viewpad 7e
aLogcat
androidVNC
Angry Birds (all 3)
Blogger
Chrome to phone
Coin Dozer
Google Docs
Documents To Go
Facebook and Messenger
File Expert
Gmail
Google+ and Messenger
Google Maps, Latitude, Places
MarketEnabler
Google Reader
Root Explorer
Tapatalk
Titanium Backup (debugging error and hangs on restoring some apps)
Google Translate
Twitter (acted odd on first run and needed to reboot, opened fine after)
Vplayer
My Country
The Sims 3
Pocket Legends
Star Legends
Youtube
Order and Chaos
I will add more apps to the list as I test them.

Hey,
at first thx for the great HOWTO. Everything worked fine for me. The only thing that also bothers me is the memory problem as often mentioned before.
Perhaps its good to know that I'm from Germany and have a branded Device from strato . But before I began with your instructions I installed the official update FV70_VSEI_S_W_C_11252011 so everything should normally worked.
The only thing that makes me curious is that the widget of the apps that were preinstalled by strato are still there. Is there a possibilty that you have to clear the dalvik oder whatsoever cache before the market works without memory problems?
Go to the link, update to 28112011 file. Root it and instal
The market. I have no problems downloading apps from google play but if you see apps that are writtem not compatible, you have to download from one mobile market

The probleme is not that there is no space on device, but that there is no space in "/cache"
The easy workaround is copying /cache/recovery elsewhere on your SDcard or device (to back it up) and deleting it from /cache/
After that everything work fine ...
NB : If you want to restore factory settings, don't forget ... recopy the recovery directory in /cache
It won't brick because there's bootloader that let you reboot with actual settings or loading an update.
NB2 : I haven't had time for now but there's a 2GB unused partition... let's see ...
Ot;
I followed every Point and was able to move the Cache link to sd-Card.
My question goes to the developers. Is there any work on custom Rom eG bootloader or Even cm Mod?i tried to theme it but with no succsess.
Please dev's. Dont forget us viewpad 7e Users.
Since ViewSonic has no clue what adb is I gave this tablet to my kid since that's what this tablet is "A TOY". I will no longer be dealing with this tablet or company and have purchased a ASUS TF300T and will start developing for that tablet.
