Download market here
Move that apk file to /system/app. You'll need a file explorer app that has root access (ES file explorer can do it). You may need to reboot in order for it to take effect.

[Q] Best way to uninstall Tit Backup?

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.

[Q] Viewpad 7e and Market

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.
Thank you in advance
instructions for getting android market on the viewpad 7e
go download this file from this link:
dl.dropbox.com/u/34743606/v7e.zip

settings>applications>development> USB debugging> tick it
Step 2:
Go to the inbuilt app ES File Explorer
find the GingerBreakv1.20.apk
install the GingerBreakv1.20.apk (I installed it on mine but it made my micro sd card useless i dunno what was with this but it still got gingerbreak on it it just made card die so use at your own risk =_= it still install it fine tho might of been a defect of a cheap card)
Root the device by going through the steps
When you complete the steps you should see Superuser in your applications
Go back to ES File Explorer
Find Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk
Install Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk
Click allow for permissions for the Root Explorer
Once you have Root explorer installed open it and fine the folder sd card

Make sure all the columns are ticked and select OK

[Q] 2 easy questions, little problems

okay here is my problem. If i remember, i took Adfree program or another similar ad blocker (for what i remember, its was simple to install)
My life was nice, no more ads in my free version of angry birds etc...BUT
am an hockey fan and i go on a site to view videos report of my team. The problem is when i try to watch thoses vids streaming, normaly theres a 15sec ad vid before the one i wanna see, but cause of that adfree program, i cant see the vid anymore, it is just loading and nothing is happening. Here is a screenshot
For your information, i tryed with my desktop computer and it work fine, i tryed uninstall and reinstall flash and it runs perfect on other sites.
So i wanted to remove the adfree program but it is not showing anywhere in my apps running or installed.
1- Anyone have a clue?
One more thing, i did rooted my tab with success, i can use rom manager but yesterday i tryed to open Titanium backup and it told me my tab wasnt rooted...
i see the superuser icon in my apps so..
2- Any clues on that one too?
Thanks for ur help
if you have cwr then install a custom rom on your tab, I recommended one of task's they come with internet ads blocked and flash view work fine, and are just better than stock roms in every way

reboot the device,
1. check for the adfree or adblock app in the application manager.
2. try to reload the titanium backup couple of times or check in the superuser whether titanium backup is allowed for root access.

1- i closed and started device like 10 times since i got this problem, i checked in app manager installed, running, all, cant find any track of an ad blocker program. i also checked with file manager HD
2- Fixed for titanium
please help me for #1
I think you granted temporary root permissions to Titanium Backup, so if you close the app, and open it again, you have to grant root again. You should click on "remember" checkbox.
Another thing you can do, is to open update SuperUser app from the Market, and then, open it, and go to Settings ---> Check binary SU updates, so you have the latest SU binary version.
About the flash thing, i have no idea, but.. have you tried with another Browser?? (Personally, i use Opera. Works like a charm. Really fast & smooth).
Hope i helped,g ood luck bro!

As i stated in post #4, problem is fixed for Titanium backup
My Main Problem is still there though.
Its not a question of using a diff browser, i want to delete/uninstall the adfree app from my tab dot.
The thing is that i cant find it anywhere, i even tryed to open titanium to see if adfree apps is showing so i cant delete data, but its not showing.
So i really need help now because i dont know where to look to find this freaking app and remove it.
Adfree or adblocker or whatever the name is, is not showing :
In app manager (running, installed, all)
In Titanium backup
In file manage HD (well i dont know exactly where to search but havent find anything with a similar name)
plz help
EDIT:
More info
usually when u install an app and u go back to the market, its say "open" instead of "install" well for adfree it still tell me "install"
Now i also searched a bit on the forum and i found some ad blocker program can be use without installing anything but by replacing an Host files.
I dont remember if it was my case, maybe since it doesnt seem that a have any adfree app installed BUT
I usually keep a copy of everything i put on my tab, and been around computer world for long enough to do a "backup" of any file i would replace.
I've looked on my pc, no sign of any host files that i dl or backuped.
So im totally out of anwsers.
One thing for sure, i did install something to removes ads and it work.
For the love of god, please help me !!

Try to uninstall it with titanium. Or use a file manager, navigate to /data/app, find the apk and delete it!

Guys, i appreciate your help but please READ,
the app is not showing anywhere, so how can i uninstall something that i cant see.
please go back to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19412507&postcount=6
i really need help with the host files
i want to get back to default (ads allowed)
where to go ?
What you have to do is manually edit/replace the host file with a stock one.
Go to /system/etc/ and remove all the entries from the file named 'hosts' except the following one
127.0.0.1 localhost
OR
flash this zip in CWM

you can try updating the /system/etc/hosts file with
127.0.0.1 localhost
then reboot it.

Just a wild guess, but what browser are you using? Is it possible you installed the adblocker not as an app, but as a browser add-on extension? If so, you should be able to remove it from within the browser or make an exception rule for that one site.

am using the default web browser and like i wrote before.
I changed the hosts file following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=509997
the hosts file i changed is the one located in /system/etc/hosts
the problem is that i didnt backup this file before replacing it, i never do that but it seem this time i did it.
So im looking for either the original host file or a way to put an exception for the site i want.

app installing issue

Un-rooted, microSD card, GoLauncher Ex, ES File Explorer, App Manager, AnyCut, Button Savior, Dolphin and probably anything else you wonderful people told me I needed to get for it.
There is an app called Ballero (it is in Android Market) this app is to sync up with a knitting and crocheting forum so it doesn't have a lot of people even knowing about it. I have gotten it from this site http://rav.cldellow.com/. Using stock browser. When I try to install I get told that the install has failed. (This has also happened with GoogleServicesFramework.apk, google-earth.apk, Google_Maps_v6.02.apk which I understood should be able to go on an un-rooted NT.) So with the Ballero I have tried to install, copy/paste the apk to systems/apps, unzip it into a folder called ballero and tried to copy/paste that into the systems/apps folder. I'm told that it cannot be done.
So am I missing something? Does this mean that those apps are not for this version? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Ballero doesn't show up in Market, so it's not listed as compatible wth the NT. However, I had no problem side-loading it from your link with the stock browser.
I'm pretty sure it requires the Google apps/services be installed as it links to Google Maps to retrieve yarn store data. I don't know about sideloading Google Services Framework, but I think you need this and Google Maps before you can install Ballero.
Maybe you're hesitant, but you really should just root the device. It makes things much more functional. If you follow Indirect's instructions closely (don't worry about the manual method, just use the script) on a PC that hasn't had any Android device drivers on it before, it's very easy and painless. Not that you should need to, but root can easily be undone and the NT restored to factory specs.
The root script should also have the option to install the Google apps and Market for you, which in turn opens a lot of functionality on the NT. (I have no knowledge of sideloading these because the root script did it for me).
I'm pretty sure you can't copy/paste anything to system/app without root permissions.

well did you mount the system folder as read and write? the system folder is read only by default, so you need to go into your es file explorer settings to change the permission from read only to read and write.
Thank you very much. You are right I am very nervous about rooting. The more I read here the more I'm learning and slowly getting more confident. Thanks again.
*As you can probably tell his is my first android device. If you know of a good book that teaches more about android os I would be interested in reading it. Thanks again.

missing market apps on nook tablet

I rooted my nook tablet with the SnowballMod root and everything is working fine, but some of the apps in the android market are missing. I have tried editing the build.prop file and clearing the market data and cache to spoof the market, but it still wont work. does anybody have ANY ideas?
theres not some, more like a lot and thats normal cuz its happening to everyone. apps that dont appear on the market have to be downloaded as .apk files and then transferred to your nooks sd card i use drop box and es file explorer for this procedure
how would i do this? how close are the people to fixing this and being able to install custom roms? i need facebook.
sideloading if it is not working from market.

It's not technically broken. The market should not show you apps for which your device does not meet the requirements. That doesn't meet they don't work, but that you have to install them another way. After updating my phone to ICS, I had to sideload Tapatalk, since it is not "technically" compatible with ICS, even though it does work.

1) Use the web app (it's pretty good, and doesn't have any background processes)
2) Look for the thread in the App section titled "[download] Facebook, Twitter and Google+ apk"
