Running Android 4.0.4 on Emerson EM543 Tablet. Could not install Google Play so had to install Android Market. Market apparently somehow disables the Android system LockScreen. So, now trying to get lockscreen back on boot (downloadable apps, as far as I can see, don't lock screen at system boot, which is what I want). I got a terminal emulator and was wondering if there was a Linux command line argument I could use to start Droid lockscreen at system startup. Any suggestions?
I thought I was getting close with this solution, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1499906, but it is for an HTC Amaze 4G, and I can locate the AdroidManifest.xml files in the apk files on my system (using ROM Toolbox Pro Root Browser). But, even if I could figure out how to do it there, that file would be changed in the very next update. I am looking for a something similar, just need to know the xml filename or a command line argument that could be used in a startup script.
Thank you.

Did you get your tablet running again? Were you able to install Google Play on it? I have the same tablet that I want to have up and running by Christmas, and would like to know what works.
Tablet works -- just lock screen doesn't work

The Tablet runs fine. It's the lock screen that's still disabled.
I was able to successfully get Android Market on using this process:
xda-developers.com won't let me post links. Google "Installing Google Play without rooting on Android Mobiles or Tablets".
It is not exactly Google Play, but it works with Google Play fairly seamlessly.
I bought another one for my cousin for Christmas. I think it makes a great little inexpensive mp3 player, with the added bonuses of games, email and any of the other apps you wish to enable.
I got the Android Market installed. It made things way easier. This is what the home screen will look like when opened on Christmas morning. Keep me posted if any custom roms, or ideas come up for this tablet. Thanks!

I installed vegantab and followed the directions to get the full marketplace on my gtab. However when i search for certain app they do not show up. At first i just thought they were apps that weren't compatible with android tablets but this does not seem to be the case. A couple of the apps are facebook and twitdroid. I know facebook came preinstalled on tap n tap so it should not be a compatability issue. Can someone please tell me what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance
Have you tried this post? It worked for me when I thought I had the full market.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245
This happened to me too. Even after I did the market fix as described in the ROM install thread. The previous poster has pointed you in the right direction, but more specifically these are the exact steps that fixed me. I take no credit for this other than finding it and passing it along.
Step 4.
Go into Settings - Applications - Manage Applications - Market - Clear CACHE - Force Stop
(For TnT/TnT Lite... Settings - Applications - System Applications)
Step 5.
Press back once - Google Services Framework - Clear DATA - Force Stop
Step 6.
Go back to your home screen and open up the market. You should get an error. If not, redo steps 4 and 5 until you do.
Step 7.
Reboot your device. After it starts back up let it sit for a minute or two to let things in the operating system normalize. Open the Market. Reboot your device.
Step 8.
Open the market again and enjoy. You should now have Flash and the Android Market.
I've always thought that "Full Market" didn't mean everything available in the market, but everything that the market believes it can install on your device. I've always double-checked by going to the web market and trying to "push" the app to my device to see if it is compatible.
Or is there something on the device that identifies itself on the market as to what it can have installed?
I wish there was a tablet market separate from phones. It would make things much easier.

but then you wouldn't be able to see the phone apps that work well on tablets. I would assume that most widgets are cross compatible. Even when going to iTunes from an iPad, they have the 'iphone apps available for you.
in the infancy of android tablets, if we could ONLY see tablet only apps, we'd all be limited to about 50-100 apps, most of which not all of us would have a purpose for.
I'm having a similar problem, even after following the steps outlined in the Clockwork/ROM thread. Not sure if it varies with the rom as I was able to get Zeam Launcher with the Adam rom, but not with TNT lite.
Following along to see if there are other suggestions...
So I had followed the steps when I originally flashed Vegan 5.1.1 and the Market didn't show up Apps, like Facebook for example.
For the heck of it I tried it again just now, after I've been using my tablet for a while, and now the Market works fully! I still can't see tablet Apps like the CNN one, but now I have access to lots of Apps I didn't before.
Another resource you could check would be 4shared.com. Search for cnn.apk or just .apk and you will see lots of other apps, not sure if they will all work, but its worth a shot.
FWIW... I ran the steps again last night (for the second time since flashing TNT lite) and got access to more apps. I was able to find zeam, but I still can't find ADW. Might try it again tonight just to see what happens.
Seems odd, but that's been my experience so far.

Is there any setting that can be changed without switching ROMs that will fool the market into thinking the device is compatible with more applications?

If you have Root Explorer you can alter your build.prop file to set your device as olympus and that gives you a full market, or at least the fullest I've seen. The following apps show up with this change:
firefox, adw, facebook, cnn, zeam, launcher pro, dolphin hd, flash 10.2, samurai vengeance, etc.
This has worked on Vegan 5.1.1, TNT Lite 4.4, G-Harmony 2.3.3, CM7, & Calkulin's v1.1 for me.

I used astro file manager to change that file and then reapply the market fix. Still no apps like google docs on the market. Would this be an immediate fix or will it take some time for the market to register the change?
nvm: astro didnt actually save the modified file after editing it
Using root explorer now i guess the correct procedures would be
1) change the mount to r/w from r/o
2) modify the permissions of the build.prop to allow write access
3) modify build.prop
4) restore original permisions
5) change mount back to r/o from r/w
6) rerun market fix
Am i missing anything?
Read through the linked thread a bit more and seems that is all that is needed. Thanks for the point in the right direction.
This is what I do. Using Root Explorer I change the mount from R/W to R/O then alter the build.prop from Vega to olympus on that one line & then switch back to R/W. I don't change permissions. Then I go to settings>applications>market to clear market cache & then force stop. Next I go to settings>applications>google services framework to clear data & then force stop. Reboot. Then have full market. Always works for me.
I'm looking a bit more at rooting via manual nooter on OS 1.4.1.
As of now, the Android Market is not working
In my hands, the BN shop is also not working. Books cannot be downloaded. (The reader does work, though, so you can shop and then download to your PC, then push the files in manually if you like.)
Together, those two elements not working argue against rooting 1.4.1 for anything other than study and development, I think.
- 1.4.1 installs on a device which had already been rooted (this device is rooted but not overclocked.)
- boot from a manual nooter 4-5-18 disks works
- after applying MN 4.5.18 and the APK enabler, the device booted. Root was retained and SU works fine (I was able to use adb wireless)
- install via ADB works
Other things to be aware of:
- this is not a Gingerbread release for the NC.
- the home button behavior is changed a LOT. Home Catcher for the Nook Tablet will also work here, though.
- the device automagically snarfs Google contacts if it's registered to a gmail address, it seems. There is no warning on that. I think that behavior is a Big Effing Problem.
About to try hopefully it works. I know I couldnt install update on 1.3 with CWM going back to complete stock and then update and then MN.
Yes, if CWR is written to your boot, you cannot install BN updates.
It might be possible to use a flashable 1.3 installer to write only /boot, reboot, then update to 1.4.1. I know there is a flashable 1.3, but I do not know where it lives.

Yeah I went back to 1.3 stock and then to 1.4.1 update.
It would be nice if some one conforms about Market
"It would be if some one conforms about Market"
Yeah, wouldn't it?
I'm figuring from the lack of screaming it's probably working.
Market is up. Some apps still missing. Having a bit of problem with Zeam launcher. Nook launcher is taking control.
Straight from my ICS i897 Sonic Screwdriver!!!!!
So from a rooted 1.3.1 you:
Use CWM to install a vanilla 1.3 ROM, then update to 1.4.1 via B&N download, then root using only 4.5.18? I seem to remember to root 1.3.1 you needed to root with 4.5.16 and then 4.5.18.
I have been able to use 4-5-18 without any problems on both 1.2 and 1.3.
You may not even need to install the vanilla ROM - you may well be able to install to a rooted device, so long as you have not meddled with /boot, either by installing a CWR boot internally or by overclocking.
My fast experiment this morning involved updating a rooted 1.3, then rooting that resulting 1.4.1.
Anyone check to see if it will still boot from an SD card, just want to confirm before update, but because it is still rootable I can always downgrade.
Edit: I am in the process of updating as I type this, I will post the results in case anyone else needs them.

In my case the Market runs but it's totally useless: I can't see my apps, it doesn't find most of what I want to install and when it does I can't install anything (it just goes back to the Apps menu). So it totally sucks since the B&N market is really lame!

For whatever reason, many Nook Colors that come stock with 1.3 installed just bootloop if rooted with 4.6.16, even if rooted first with 4.5.18. I can confirm this with a new NC purchased for my girlfriend's mom. Runs OK if just rooted with 4.5.18, except for it having the ancient market. Haven't been able to update the market yet, though gmail will update itself.
Updated to 1.4.1 (had to return to stock 1.3 to install the update, even without CWM flashed), using homecatcher to overcome the new "n" button "feature", but market is hit and miss. Was able to download and install Astro, but Titanium Backup doesn't want to download and install. I'll try sideloading it later.
What's the new n button feature? Is it possible to make a flashable update, like with 1.2 and 1.3?

If you press it once, it brings up the B&N "dock" that used to be at the bottom of the screen. If you press it twice, it brings up the B&N launcher.
Correction, I thought I was able to download Astro from market, but apparently I didn't. Now I've got no way to sideload apps, which makes this pretty useless...

I realize this, but this nook is a gift for my girlfriend's mom, who lives out of state, and I know there's no way she's going to sideload everything using ADB... I need to get her a working market, even if I've got to go back to 1.3 and disable the update.
Ended up using 4.5.18 on my stock 1.3 NC. ADB Sideloaded in the Kindle app and a couple others and used the Nook App Manager to drop icons out on the main stock launcher page. I was really looking to add teh Kindle app so I could read all my purchased books on a single device, so I'm quite content. I'd like to see better market, etc but it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Just in case someone follows this thread, rooted 1.4.1 is working well now. manualnooter-5-12-18.zip does it for ya.
Market works. You can add non-B&N apps to the B&N app and home screens using Nook Color App Manager. Putting the Kindle app on there is no problem. Netflix, HBO GO and Max GO work. Hulu Plus refuses to run on the device. B&N subscriptions download and update the dock. B&N enhanced content (e.g. Wired magazine) work fine.
If non-techie friends and family want an enhanced B&N Nook Walled Garden experience, this will do it!
I just purchases a Nook Tablet 8 GB with software version 1.4.2 I would like to load the Adobe Reader android app onto it. Since this is all I want to do, I imagine I would only have to root it, right? I have a linux box running adb so I would simply download the .apk and push it onto the rooted Nook, right? Is it this simple? Sorry for the noob question, I have a Droid X so I'm not new to Android, however, I've never worked with the Nook Tablet before.
EDIT:
I did some reading and found this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1529553 It looks like it is the only method available currently, right? The video example shows the OP using Go launcher ex as the launcher. The thing is, my wife likes the standard Nook interface so I'm hoping this can be kept. Also, this Nook is registered to my wifes Barnes and Nobel account. Will rooting deregister it? Thanks.

edit: lemme explain a bit more.. you get the android system with no changes to your actual device so no warranty issues.. wanna go back to stock nook.. take out SD card and bam back to stock
For stock you will need to root to have access to Google play a.k.a "android market" and for sideload apps once you're rooted you need to download NT hidden settings (download from Google Play)and go to hack settings and hit Unknown Sources after that you will be able to open apps you download in your Nook Tablet or apps you have copied to your sdcard.

Thanks for the replies. Please excuse my delay in responding. I actually followed jichuan89 post in the link in my OP. It worked very well. It installed the market/google play and I was able to load apps. I kept the stock nook interface since my wife prefers it. The only downside I've noticed is that the apps installed from google play don't show up in the stock apps menu. You have to search for them. It's really no big deal, just thought I'd mention it. Anyway it's working great now.
@ lavero.burgos
I did not download the NT hidden settings that I noticed and I did not see any option for Unknown Sources. Maybe they installed with jichuan89's root method? I will check as soon as I can get the NT back from my wife . Also, I'm concerned about OTA updated from Barnes & Nobel. How can I disable this? Is that in the NT hidden settings somewhere? Thanks.
here is situation:
1. I had rooted 1.4.2 with not blocked OTA and my NT updated to 1.4.3.
2. It is obvious that root and some apps stopped working and some of them even disappeared from the device (like WinAmp for example).
3. I rooted 1.4.3 with SDcard method and it looked like things are fine until I started to get my apps back.
4. I used FIREFOX as a main browser with 1.4.2 update and after registering at Play store on rooted 1.4.3 I read that FIREFOX is incompatible with my device!!! What the hell?
5. Also, my NT registered at Play as NEW device, not the old one as I had - so it seems my serial changed or something has changed in the build.prop or somewhere else in the identification part of device.
6. Besides, after root, i started installing apps and it seems Notification bar has some sort of glitches - it does not clear all the messages and keeps the last downloaded file in the list...
Can anyone point me how to fix incompatibility issue?
---------------
Now, second situation:
7. I reverted back to 1.4.2 with the img file from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836
8. But the thing is that I want to try 1.4.3 again
9. I downloaded official update from B&N and put it onto the SDCard
10. It boots and progress bar starts to move but at some point (25% of bar) it shows me exclamation icon with '!' and says "Please restart your device and try again..."
What is this issue and how it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance.
Honestly, I have had similar issues with the play store and my Nook on 1.4.3 but if you want to block OTA updates more effectively, I have been told that the updater cannot run if you have CWM flashed rather than the stock recovery image. When I screwed my Tablet up I found that I couldn't get it to load the acclaim_update.zip or any update files until I reflashed the stock recovery image rather than CWM.

I've been reading and reading a lot the forum but still miss something important. Step-by-step guide would be much appreciated, if possible.
I have found the same problem. When I run CM7 on the NT from an SD card, I have no app compatibility issues. But when I run from rooted stock 1.4.3, I get the app compatibility error. I even tried pasting the build.prop file from CM7 into 1.4.3 but that did not correct the problem. The same apps are coming up as not compatible. What else is the Market looking at to determine compatibility?

This was actually a fix for Nook Color... to modify the build.prop. If you copy/pasted the entire build.prop I would think it would work.
One other thing to do is
1.) manage google play
2.) clear data
3.) uninstall updates
4.) manage google market
5.) clear data
6.) manage google services framework
7.) clear data
8.) reboot
This didn't always work and I had to do this a couple time. Not sure if which step made a difference or what order but it eventually worked. And I could see as many apps as my Captivate (Galaxy I).
Anyway, again, this worked for Nook COLOR and not Tablet. Or at least I havent figured Table yet. If you figure it out. Let me know.
My recent attempt was to copy the build.prop from Nexus and I got black screen after start up. Now I had to unbrick my device and I'm back to square one.
Good luck.. Keep me posted!!!!
@rtabasco - Good plan, but it didn't work. Even when I uninstalled the update and just used the Market app. Looks like 1.4.3 may have changed something other than the build.prop file. I'll keep poking around. It would help if the Play Store would provide a little more detail about the compatibility issue.
This just gets even more strange...

Apart from the issue we are discussing in this thread that we can't figure out, a lot of compatibility issues with a rooted NT could be eliminated by changing the screen DPI to 160 in the build.prop file. My guess is that most of the apps were written for phones with 800x480 displays (or other dimensions that are easy multiples of 800x480). Making that change had worked for me to get access to most apps I wanted until this most recent problem that has been caused by changes in 1.4.3 or in the Play Store, or both working together.

Thank you for video, but I was not asking how to edit text document, but rather what this change will give me.
Well, BNs build.prop has separate settings for X and Y dimensions. Following the logic, it does not matter if DPI is set via one command or via two... Anyway, simply changing to 160 DPI and rebooting did not help me with firefox compatibility in play store as well as other apps that were noted to show incompatible.
Any other suggestions and ideas would be very much welcome!

" our tech team is aware of the problem and is working on a solution"
Given how old is the problem I guess they are not really working on it. Can one of our dev champion look at it? Maybe it is as simple as a file set as readonly somewhere.
It looks like the newer tunein from either applibs 6.4 or from the market 7.1 is installed but it does not overwrite the original app. I guess archos did not install it at the right place. The solution would be to modify the shortcut on the dashboard and also in the clock application to the new apps. Or another solution move original apps to where the market apps is installed. I am not a tech so I'd do not know how .

Via "Apk share" I shared TuneIn Pro to my Archos Connect from Galaxy S2, it's installed and works.
No I've tried to do the same with new version of TuneIn Pro 7.3, it's not working. It's installed, run, but still 7.1 not 7.3.
So after fighting a long time with this crap device here is the solution for tunein:
Rename the new (7.4) Tunein to tunein.apk and copy it via Root Explorer (Or anoter Root-Filemanager) to /data/app.
After that change the permissions of tunein.apk so that there no write is possible (untick the write options in permissions after holding your finger on tunein.apk a long time).
With this it is impossible for this stupid Archos device to overwrite the tunein with the crappy old 5.1 Version.
Downside: You cant log into your tunein account. But at least you have a good working Tunein.
