Hi,
When I got my tab new, out the box etc.. I'm sure I remember the flash program being an OEM install that you can't uninstall. However, when I wanted to try the HULU Hack, it was required that I uninstall the current flash, and install a hacked version.. so after rooting my device, I used a Root uninstaller and removed the OEM flash. (I've tried to restore the backup OEM flash that was created, but it's not working). I install the hacked HULU flash apk.. I'm in the wrong country for HULU anyway apparently.. so it was all a waste of time.
Now I've tried uninstalling the hacked flash apk, and via the market installing the latest adobe flash 11, which is fine.. but websites are still saying that I have no flash player installed.
I have since tried a hard reset without google backup. Still gives the same errors, and no OEM flash installed.
If I click on the "Flash player settings" icon, it takes me to my browser, and a blank page (dark grey looking) with no writing at all..
Using ADW EX launcher no difference, but didn't expect any..
Any help will be much appreciated.
Trevor
Just checking, have you got enable plugins set to always or on demand in advanced settings of the browser?
As your description sounds like what you would get if it's not.
Cheers
Hi,
Enable plugins was set to off. I've now set it to Always. Works fine now! Thank you!!

*** Archos Devices Only ***
This includes only the Market, Calendar, Talk, GenieWidget and "required gSync" files. Any apps that are in the Froyo Market are NOT included. Honestly, this is better as it makes a smaller appInstaller package and its more compatible.
You can download the following from the Market -- Gmail, VoiceSearch, YouTube and Maps(Navigation)
SUMMARY
v5-Stable -- (recommended!)
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: If you've installed this or other gApps installers, you may have to RESET to successfully install gAppInstaller.
Note: You may get an error when you first open the Market, ignore the error. It may also take a few minutes before the Market updates from 2.09 to the current version.
Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
Choose install core apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard). There maybe a short delay after you tap an install button (its installing and you'll be notified when its done, about 5-10 seconds)
REBOOT!!
Sign into Market (Google Account Login)
Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps" like NYTimes.
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Market (Clear Cache then 'Force Stop' -- DO NOT clear data)
Setting-->Manage Applications-->All-->Google Services Framework (Clear data then 'Force Stop')
REBOOT again
Market Fix video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=player_embedded#!
If you do this correctly you will find most missing apps like 'Copilot Live USA' in the Market. However, some apps require certain features (like a GPS or Cell chip) and will not show up in the Market. Basically, if you search for application "MyGPS" and "MyGPS" is coded to REQUIRE a GPS chip, then the Android market will NOT show this app in the Market for our Archos Device because is lacks a GPS chip.
MARKET LANGUAGE FIX (unverified):
Once you install the Market, it will probably be in English only. You may be able to fix this by putting your device into English via Settings menu, then put the device back into whatever other language you require.
RESET DEVICE:
Follow these instructions to reset your Archos Gen8: http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42437&start=0
12/23/2010:
v5 released and appears stable. This is the last froyo version since the Market auto-updates and NetworkLocation works.
kenyu73 - Thanks for the update, could you possibly test a couple of apps for me before I wipe and load this up?
TweetDeck
Slingplayer
Moblox
Those have never worked correctly on your build and I use them pretty regularly. Thanks! Looking forward to results.

Both Tweetdeck and Moblox-Lite open without any FC's. I couldn't find Slingplayer in the market.
Awesome. I'll have to wipe and rebuild with this tomorrow then. Thanks!
any reason to re-install from v3?
I used your v3 (thank you very much!) - it worked well. I have Market + select Google apps on my A70.
I'm still missing some apps on Market that I'm unable to find no matter what, even after following "the procedure" - LauncherPro, AWDLauncher, etc. Frankly I can sideload most apps anyhow.
Is there any point/reason in installing v4? (I'm hoping for a "no")?
Kenyu you are the man!

There are some "protected" apps that we'll never see. However, I can find LauncherPro(free) as well as ADW.Launcher(by AnderWeb) just fine.
kenyu73, Thanks for your updates.
My A70 will arrive in tomorrow and look forward to implement your guide soon.
Please keep on fine-tuning it and share with us.
Bit the bullet and loaded up the new app installer. It works perfectly. No more force closes on tweetdeck or when logging into the xda app. Thanks for this.

Thanks for the feedback. I think the v4 is really the final stable version. I've been using it all day today and not one single Market FC and I can find all apps in the Market (except protected apps). I did have to do the Market fix though.
The next issue I'd like to fix is the Voice Search GUI issue. The GUI interface isn't as clean as my cell phone, but I'm not sure if that's even fixable. Even though we install Voice Search directly from the Market, it still just sucks!!
Just a short note:
If you have already rooted your device with z4root a reboot is never reasonable.
To avoid lossing the root (which can of cource be reinstalled using z4root again) you can use the App HotReboot. This app reboots the device but the "root" still exists!
BTW: Thanks for your work!!!!

Downloads Stuck
I followed all instructions. My downloads on the market get stuck at starting download. ANy ideas?
Archos 101
excellent - thankyou kenyu
one question from a newbi
when i follow the link - I see an apk and two zip files
how do i use the two zip files ? appsinstaller and apps
thanks Stephen
Just use the apk file.
The apps.zip is just the apks that you should download from market, and the zipped installer is the source codes. If you just want to install the installer, then only the apk should matter to you.

All the apps in the zip files should be down-loadable from the Market directly. That zip is only there for people who cant download some apps because of their country of origin (like Maps). Some may use it so they don't have to download those apps.
Best bet is to install the core apps via the installer, reboot then d/l that apps you want from the Market.

I'd reboot again. However, it could be your internet connection. My Samsung Fascinate (Galaxy S) doesn't that sometimes.
Did you install over an existing Market install or was this a fresh install? If it was a re-install, as my instructions said, best bet is to do a reset and start over.
i decided to load some apks in the .system folder to see if i could get it to load my own apks to save me less time.. and in the process using this gapps apk vs the one with the GUI glitch worked very well.. like how i can download my own youtube etc so i have the choice of which google apps i want
These are the only apks that can be pushed to the froyo/system/app folder. Archos put the apk reference aliases (prefixed with a 0) into the read-only '/system/app' knowing we'd manually add them to the read/write test folder. Anything else in the app folder is ignored.
If Archos didn't do this, I doubt we'd even have Market access until the devce was fully rooted.

I reset my 101 and installed version 5 of the Google apps and performed the marketplace app fix, but Flash 10.1 and a few other Adobe apps still don't show up. Only Flash Showcase, Photoshop Express, Reader, and Tour de Mobile Flex show up when all apps from this developer is clicked. I tried sideloading the generic flash .apk but it was an older version and resulted in a lot of freezing. How can I get the Flash installed so that it works with the latest and smoothest version?
Thanks
The market fix actually breaks finding flash. Not sure why. However, you can reverse the market fix and then flash and some other items will show. Then when you get that installed you redo the market fix and get the rest of them. A pain but necessary right now.
Is there a way to reverse the market fix without a reset?
You can download the latest flash apk from this site:
http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/adobe-flash-player
Download version 10.1.105.7 at the bottom of the page.. that is the latest version.. the site has it listed under old versions.
Another site to check for apk files is PandaApp:

Got Hulu working with Froyo 0.6.6. No demon voices! Just browsed a lot of the forums on XDA and finally got it working. Can't retrace all my steps, but here is a link that can get you started: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=779761#8089640.
Run a backup before you try anything.
All the steps are out there.
Another helpful link: http://www.androidtablets.net/forum...5-how-watch-hulu-your-android-2-2-device.html
Once the three apks are installed, you can use either use the hulu.apk or watch from the website. If using the website, go to google.com and switch to classic view, and then in the address bar, input about:debug which enables you to change your ua string in your browser settings to desktop. Be sure that you don't have a setting that has flash playing on demand. Also, login to your hulu account and in settings, choose the lowest bitrate of 288. Change this setting in hulu from your desktop computer. I found the stock froyo browser to work best.

Anyone else got it to work? It said it could not open the install_huluflash_player.apk as APK
I moved it to /system/app and toggle the "allow non-market apps" checkbox with no success

I uninstalled flash first and then followed the directions to install each apk in the order prescribed. To install, I copied to the sd card of the nook, allowed non-market apps, and then used file manager to install. Hope this helps. I ended up taking the hulu fix off as it seemed to slow down performance.
couldn't get this to work on nookie froyo 0.6.8, here is what I did
using adb, I installed "install_huluflash_player.apk"
Then I tried to install "flash_fixed_final.apk" and " Hulu.apk" but it would not let me, gave me a failure
I then adb pushed "flash_fixed_final.apk" and "Hulu.apk" into /system/apps
Used Astro to tried to install them. For "flash_fixed_final.apk" it would only let me upgrade. After the upgrade I tried to install "Hulu.apk" but it said it was already installed, so I just launched it and it seems to work
the only problem was the "demon voices" sound
I then tried to fix it using the OP's link by adb push all the libstagefright.****.so to /system/lib/
after pushing all of them, I rebooted the device as suggested
coming back from the reboot, video would not even start in hulu or website
I then tried uninstalling hulu and flash through Setting, Astro, and adb but none of the methods worked
had to download root explorer to delete flash and hulu
Might attempt again with 0.6.6 or some other versions, has anybody else gotten this to work at all?
UPDATE
ok, still on 0.6.8 nookie froyo, this time I tried the files from the OP's first link instead of the second link
after uninstalling everything from my first attempt, I pushed the hulu and flash onto my nook
adb push flash-fixed.apk /system/app/
adb push Hulu.apk /system/app/
Using root explorer, installed flash-fixed, then hulu
Lauching hulu, flash works, but only at the advertisement (loads ads until last 1 second and freezes)
Tried using Dolphin HD and Dolphin Mini after changing the user agent to Desktop, it does the same thing (normal browser would not allow my to do abou:config to change user agent)
Tried with the normal Dolphin browser and some of the videos seems to work, although they are very slow and laggy, even after adjusting video to 288p
I guess it now works some of the time, anybody have any suggestions to improve this? Might try this process again with the files from the OP's second link

I want to try to replicate hulu on the 3d like the 4g.
Here is the difficulty, which may not be resolved until perm root or a work around to refreshing system apps.
To get this to work, I need to do the following:
1. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash player
2. Use root uninstaller to uninstall flash lite. (After 4 months, finally notice that it was still installed)
3. Go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All> locate all of your browsers and clear cache, clear info.
4. restart phone (only way to install modified flash player after uninstall)
5. Install hacked 10.3 or whatever you want, then install hulu.apk (no link to files google them)
6. Do not restart phone
7. Open stock browser
8. Type "about:debug" in URL, then hit enter
9. Go to menu>settings and set "UAString" to "Desktop" (if you don't see UAString, repeat 7 & 8)
10. Exit back to browser, go to a full webpage. (ex: http://www.google.com)
11. Repeat step 7 and Clear all the following; all cookie data, cache, history, form data, password, location access.
12. Exit back to browser
13. finally go to hulu and test it out
but the main issue is that I can't restart the phone so that I can install modified flash player. Fast reboot does not refresh the system apps, so unless someone makes one that does without loosing perm-temp root, then I'm stuck.
any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it
