Step By Step Install Guide
1. Confirm that there is no other Custom ROM or ViewPad 7e firmware file in the micro SD card.
2. Copy the new Custom ROM file to the micro SD card root folder.
3. Turn off the ViewPad 7e and insert the micro SD card to the device.
4. Keep pressing the volume up and power button at the same time.

6. The device will automatically start firmware upgrade.
7. After the firmware upgrade successfully, the ViewPad 7e will automatically shutdown. And you can manually boot it up to configure the basic settings.
NOTE!!!
Please make sure the battery power is more than 30% or the AC adapter is plugged in.
This flashing method will erase all data on your ViewPad 7e.

the viewpad 7e is not a viewpad7 or a variant of the viewpad7, its a totally different HW base, this thread is in the wrong area.
Error
I can´t install that!
@flez1966: there is no other forum for the 7e and posted cuz many of the 7e users are browsing these forums for their device anyway
@cpbaixo: what error message do u get, which firmware is your 7e running at the moment - please describe your problem, thanks
Found a new Firmware for the 7e, 11282011 - wont be able to work further on this project as I am on holidays back in Germany and left my Viewpad back in London - if anybody is really interested then I would take my time to work on a new build else would wait til I am back in London ...
If somebody should have an issue with applications which can't be installed from play store due to memory problems - try cache fixer from play store or as apk download - will try to fix that issue in next release
CACHE FIXER DL -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tk.rede.cacheFixer
And yea I hope will get some more support on this project else i doubt if anyone would be using this - also let me know if you want a pre-rooted ROM in future ...

HI DrSauerkraut,
Can not add a google account. I was obliged to change the file "GoogleServicesFramework.apk" and it solved the problems.
Rom is Rooted, everything works, very fast without bloatware.
more than bug with micro sd card, and the root
whereas before there were bugs on the stock fimware

also if you should encounter some problems with the install progress see following solution of mladen:
mladen.perisic said:
..., I wanted to share some experiences regarding installation process. I downloaded your ROM and I had some problems installing it (or stock ROM for that matter).
Since I'm authorized Viewsonic service engineer I got stock ROM from them (which is same as the one you based your ROM on) and I used it many times to repair many Viewpad's 7e. Every time it worked flawlessly, but on this unit in particular, it did not. There were messages regarding formatting unsupported file system (ext3) and not recognizing mSD card or not founding update on card at all (most of those problems are affecting your ROM too). After much of experiencing I found procedure which worked:
1: Extract update package
2: Edit normal update script and comment lines regarding formatting userstorage
3: Compress everything into update package again
4: I am not sure, but this step could be true: rename package to original name (F70_...). Even your ROM refused to flash if I change the name to update.zip or anything else
5: Remove your mSD card and turn on your tablet and connect it to computer.
6: Enable USB storage mode and format (!) internal iNAND.
7: Copy update package to the internal memory and disconnect the tablet.
8: Turn off USB storage mode and turn off the tablet.
9: Start update process by holding Volume+ and Power button.

I am still away from my "equipment" and the ViewPad, will continue on the developement from the 11th feb hopefully.
thanks again for all your support and hopefully i can get some more work done in future, also I am considering doing a 2nd rooted version to safe you guys another step. so in future there would be a rooted and non-root version of this ROM, and of course a bugfixed one - therefore i need your help guys!

Still working on this, but as I had my exams the last month I was too busy to work on this project. Basically we need to repartition the device or find a way to get CWM onto the device without repartitioning.

Hey Guys,
sorry for the long delay as I was busy with personal stuff. Right now I have got more time to work on this ROM and I will definitely get Android 4 running on the VP7E as I have got enough informations to get a successfull result on it. The only issue right now that I have to find my tablet as I have missplaced it to get the work done and also I need at least 2 Tester who are able to cooperate quite quick with me so I can build a stable ROM before Uni starts again in September.
For the rest of you guys, you won't have to wait for too long anymore. Possibly few weeks to go for a open-beta release.
DrSauerkraut
PS: Interested Tester please inbox me!
Any news about your work?
I'm very interested.

A Guide To Installing APK Apps On Your Google Android Phone
Thursday, June 30, 2011 7:26:52 PM America/Los_Angeles
Because the Android operating system is a relative newcomer to the mobile phone market, a strong and cohesive Android Internet support community appears to be lacking. Without an adequate Android support system in place, many Android users are left in the dark when it comes to many tricky tasks, like installing third party applications to their Android mobile phones. In order to install third party applications to your Android phone, you need to install APK, or Android Package, files. In this article, we will cover the two ways you can install APK files to your Android phone and show you how to take advantage of the wide variety of third party Android applications currently available.
Installing Applications Through the Android Market
The Android Market is essentially Android’s answer to Apple’s iPhone App Store. As of September 2009, the Android Market already offered well over 10,000 applications, and this number has only continued to grow. In addition to the applications the Android Market offers, you can also use it to install other downloaded third party applications.
Copy the APK file to your Android’s memory card and insert the card into your phone.
Download and install the Apps Installer application from the Android Market
Once installed, the Apps Installer will display the APK files on the memory card.
Click and install your APK files.
Installing Applications With Android SDK
It is possible to install APK files without utilizing the Android Market, although the process is more difficult and complex. To avoid the Android Market, you need to use Android SDK.
Download and install the Google Android SDK program and the Android USB drivers. The download links are as follows: code.google.com/android/intro/installing.html
dl.google.com/android/android_usb_windows.zip
You need to modify your Android’s settings to allow the installation of applications from other sources. Under “Settings,” select “Application Settings” and then enable “Unknown Sources.” Also under “Settings,” select “SD Card” and “Phone Storage,” and finally enable “Disable Use for USB Storage”
This last step is easy. Open Command Prompt and type the following: adb install <1>/<2>.apk
However, when you type the command, replace <1> with the path to your APK file and replace <2> with the name of the APK file.
You’re done! Your application is now ready for your use and enjoyment.
"Because the Android operating system is a relative newcomer to the mobile phone market, a strong and cohesive Android Internet support community appears to be lacking.

I guess they never heard of us.
Yes I have root access, you must unzip the root file given then open the 谷锋4gs-ROOT-REC工具.bat file and it should give root through a adb looking process. Just have the phone plugged in the computer (it has to be windows) and the Adb will do the work.
Make sure you install the driver of this phone on the computer. or adb will give an error that it doesnt see any phone.
At the end of the adb process on your computer it will say your finished and your phone will restart into a Chinese clockworkmod just choose the FIRST one and it should restart again. But it freezes here sometimes and if so DONT WORRY just press the hidden reset button in the headphones jack and it will restart and check if you have root!
After you have root I can give you a file that gives market and it updates to the current one!
You'll have to flash that though which will be tricky sine CWM is in chinese....
Thanx the goophone is rooted, now all i need is the android market.
I tried to flash this with the clockwork mod, but thats tricky in chinese
I hope you can help me out i sent you a pm. Maybe a how2 on the forum for other gooapple owners as well.
I have a goophone 4gs, please who can help me to root it?
How can I install driver on pc?

Look for the GAAPS or Google Apps zip then Flash Then Go to- Manage Applications- Market- Then Uninstall Updates- Clear Data and Cache ...Then After All this I Got it to Work !

Greetings! I am user "mayiandjay" from youtube. I have made previous videos about the gooapple 3g providing some support. I have ordered the 2nd generation GOOAPPLE V5. I will receive it Tuesday January 17 2012, I will post many videos such as:

Is it in english or in chinese? I have goophone 4gs and I want to install pure android 2.3, because market don't work in this appleUI rom.
Some info.
Hey everyone,
I just got my Goophone 4GS this week, and have spent some time playing with it. Here is what I've figured out (I speak so-so Chinese):
1. Mine came unrooted. I used Superoneclick 2.3.3 (by Shortfuse) to root it, and it worked a charm. Using this software (I am on Win 7 64 bit PC), I didn't need any additional drivers, and all worked as expected. In the program, just go to - Advanced -, choose to - Check Drivers -, then go back to - General - and choose - Root. Then wait.
2. Clockworkmod came pre-installed for me (in Chinese). Hold down the volume up button when you start the phone to access CWM. Find screenshots of the software in English (if you can), and the menus in Chinese are arranged in exactly the same order. That should make navigating it easier.
3. New roms are readily available at goophone (dot) com and at zjapk (dot) com. You'll find both iOS interface roms and stock Android interface roms. Enjoy. The latest iOS rom as of this writing is 2012-March 02, and it claims to enable 3G on the phone!!! Haven't tried it yet, so can't confirm. Roms are updated weekly, and sometimes even daily!
4. I have yet to find a Google Apps zip to use with this phone. Any suggestions?
Hope I've been of some help.
Enjoy,
DregonX
Hello.
I bought a Gooapple V6.
But I have some doubts on the apparatus.
More precisely, the seller who have sold it to me "achinaseller" guaranteed that it is a Gooapple V6 (a Gooapple V5 3G updated with a faster software). And with the promise to find pre-installed Google PlayStore.
But Google PlayStore there isn't in the phone. And even if I try to install it, at the time that I start downloading a file, the application crash.
In addition, if I want to try to put a classic Android's rom without the IOS interface available from the "official website" rom.gooapple.com, tells me that at first time I must check the version of my motherboard typing the code *#2170#* But, if I try to do this code, on my phone doesn't give any function...
Sure my phone is Android, 3G and It has an 8Mpixel camera. But what kind of phone is it??
Can you help me?
In the "system", I have just read that my phone is model MC605CH. In many threads I have read that this model name is the same of Goophone 4GS.
Is it possible that my phone is a Goophone 4GS?? And can I install a Goophone's rom?? I am afraid to break my phone..
I've just download drivers MTK6573.RAR (from Anexonel) and I've done the root by superoneclick.
Thanks in advance if you can give me an hand.

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 AM ----------
Another issue is the gps Signal is verry weak on my goophone 4gs. Inside no signal at all ok... but even outside i get max 3-5 Satelites with max half a bar signal strength. I tested some different navigation apps. Somtime no localisation at all but most it jumps around in the streets like a druged frog...
Anyone the same problems maybe another rom may help? Or is my Hardware broken?
Another fummy thing is that GSM Signal strength loses up to 2 bars when I touch the phone on the metal frame on the upper side of the phone. When I phone sometimes i have to grab it as low as possible to get a goo voice quality... also verry wired.
how to know the android version??
I have a goophone 4s 8 gig.... how to know the android version??

Thank you for this post.
I will profit it to put a problem that I've since Honeycomb and continuous with ICS.
I've created a script to have the music in media library from sdcard2, that script was in init.d folder.
Since then I' m getting the error message:
"android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. please try again."
Even after deleting the script I get this error every time that tablet starts.
I thought that with ICS upgrade this get fixed, but no, I still have the problem.
I'm sorry in advance if this is wrong topic to post this, it's just that I need 10 posts to create threads and post replys in other topics and I don't wanna just bluntly spam in order to ask one questions.
I have a problem rooting my tablet :
Model number : Sony Tablet S
Android version : 4.0.3
Kernel version : 2.6.39.4 [email protected] #1
Build number : TISU0017700
I've followed this rooting guide and also used Automated ADB Driver Installer for Sony Tablet S and P.
Seems like everythings working :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

}
But I'm getting this problem at the very start of rooting with permissions, I tried old and updated rooting tools several times, but I constantly get this one error.
In any case, I hope this problem can be solved and I have everything right. ( Was trying to root a device first time ) x_x

"Android version: 4.0.3" is the problem. To the best of my knowledge, at this time, a tablet that has already been updated to Android 4.0.3 cannot be rooted, nor can it be downgraded to a version of Android that can be rooted. You will need to wait until an exploit is discovered/created.

Try this,
Reboot into recovery goto Advanced then select Clear Dalvik Cache
If that still didn't do it, then you must reflash you Prerooted ICS,
Edit:
Do you still have some sort of file changed?,
if thats the case then i want to know which app contains the error you could try to reinstall the system app by changing its permissions etc,
with Romtoolbox for example. i will make backup try to upload the file you replace it wil the old one reinstall and then there should be a problem no more,
Also make shure you don't have any files left on you tablet wich contains changes,

In recovery mode I don't have "advanced" option.
Only 1. reboot, 2. update from zip and 3. factory reset.
edit: SOLVED
In Setting / applications / All
I clear data for program "Media Storage" and the error message stopped!

Thanks for letting us know, its good to hear that you solved your problem.
Doesn't come out of sleep
Several times a week, the tablet won't come out of sleep. Pressing the power button does nothing and I have to resort to using the reset button on the right side of the tablet. This started happening after ICS update.
Anybody else have this problem? Solutions?
yea i had that problem with HC, but maybe like 3 times since ive bought device. All i did was plug into pc and it turned on....has not happened in ics update, but it probably will.
Hey,
Just one question
Can we flash ICS by placing the zip in pendrive and connecting it to our Tablet?
Will the AIO tool find the zip?
Thanks
Nope, maby it can be possible but the recovery is not made to search in
external devices, only External SDCard inserted in the normal way,
Because if so you could simply search your PC within recovery
I know it can be used for a bootable image for PC but this won't work on Android (For now)
Who knows if some dev will change Recovery, and make it so, that he can find other devices as well.
I am new to all this. I successfully rooted the tablet without using AiO tool. But i have no idea where to proceed next. Can you dirext me to the appropriate forum/topic/post that can help me move forward.

Hello all,
Since ICS update, battery behaviour is very weird, it is dischargind very quickly, also when standby. It last one day and a hal whereas before it lasted at least 4 or 5 days... Am I the only one concerned by that problem ? Do you think it could be caused by something else than ICS update ?
Thank you all in advance...

Its most likely that you have some sort of app installed that drains your battery,
Do you use a Task killer?, that kills automatic?
Because this can cause battery drain aswell, since android has his own way of killing his apps there is no need to kill apps by an 3th-party appkiller.
You can check in your app settings, within running apps, which apps currently are
running, like a music player of movie player.
Also Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Auto Sync and GPS can use allot of energie.
i'm not shure how long my tablet runs if its in standby, but it is longer then yours.
No task killer running, I do that manually...
But I've uninstalled chrome beta and since last charge, 14 hours ago, tablet has lost 11%...
Kind of bizarre...

Phone is very good and cheap. I've been using it for a while. So far no luck rooting or modifying it.
Any helo would be apreciated.
THX
If anyone would like to know, I've managed to root the phone using following "n00b" steps:
1. Step
- download, install and run SuperOneClick v2.3.3.
- make sure you have USB debugging mode on
- plug in USB cable and click root.
- the program will ask you to install drivers.
- install them even if they are not signatured by Microsoft.
- after you installed all the drivers, restart computer
2. Step
- download and install this http://www.4shared.com/dir/RR8GM4vj/_online.html
- run runme.bat
- choose 1) Normal
- follow the instructions
- make sure you hit restore button on your device when prompted
- phone will reboot twice, don't worry
Enjoy your rooted device!!!

Just a quick update
I'll put my ClockWork Mod builds for PAP4300 and PAP4040 to my server. Can't post any links here yet, so be sure to check the link from t830mc's previous post.
For now, only 2 quick builds made using kitchen plugin for mt6575 are available.
This is all pre-alpha, not mounting anything properly, so it's pretty much useless for end users.
However, adb works fine for me (tested only on PAP4040), so I can mount and do what's needed.
I'm testing things for model 4040 myself, but can't test for model 4300 because I don't have that device, so be sure to let us all know if it works or not.
1.0.09 update
could someone upload update 1.0.09 ? i currently have version 1.0.08 and OTA offers me 1.0.10, but it tells that update.zip is invalid when i try to update, so i guess i need to update 1.0.09 first
Hello, can someone please refute the fact that this phone does not work on applications that use google maps: Meteor, Everytrail, TripJournal, Geocaching (official), etc.?

Another problem:
How to install "Google Play services" com.google.android.gms (for example, needed to log on to YouTube or the functioning of the app My Tracks)?
Installation of "services" always ends up error message:
Incompatible with other applications that use the same shared Memberlist ID.
(The procedure described here did not help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1219029)
Thank you.
hmm I did not notice this issue before you get this issue when you will get latest update from play store . Now when i have a custom version of a rom and i have instaled youtube in /system/app, and i just removed update,
this is orginal youtube apk or not but it works fine
just clear data and uninstall current youtube.apk and install this one or push it to to system and DONT UPDATE IT
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/11070101/com.google.android.youtube-2.apk
also you may try older ver of my tracks and try if it works, Prestigio must do a fast update of this error but i think they are to busy with mk6577 and mk6575 will be left alone
Thank you, Youtube now works.
Still, I can not install "Google Play services" (com.google.android.gms) that are needed to run "My Tracks" (com.google.android.maps.mytracks).
Installation of "services" always ends up error message: Incompatible with other applications that use the same shared Memberlist ID.
In the file "/data/system/packages.xml" is nothing (com.google.android.gms) I could erase.
Thank you.
Can anybody test SDXC 64GB card on this phone?
Can anybody test SDXC 64GB card on this phone?
Prestigio claims that this phone suports SDHC and SDXC standards up to 32 GB.
But SDHC standard is up to 32GB and SDXC starts from 32GB up to 2 TB.
So my question is maybe they did not have 64 GB SDXC card to test
Nabi 2 ROOT Installer
Use this script to install TWRP Recovery, ROOT, and Google apps to your Nabi 2 tablet. Step by step instructions are included within the installer. While there is another more complex script (by aicjofs, and which was offline when I originally needed it), this one is smaller and simpler. It is based on jmzrootpackage, and I had some inspiration from Victoria's video. I started this with the intention of only making things just a little bit smoother. I ended up adding more than I had originally intended. This installer contains information through each step to help guide you through the rooting process. Linux instructions can be found here.
NOTE: (Jan, 2015) There are newer versions of the Nabi on the market now, and I do not have any with which to test this script, only the original Nabi 2. As a result, it is unlikely that this will get any further updates. The newer models most likely will not work very well, or simply not work at all with this script. If you are capable and so inclined, I officially invite you to use this script in your own rooting project. Just give credit where credit is due.
Summary:
Helps guide you step by step
ROOT your Nabi 2
Install Google apps
Will NOT wipe your data
No Android upgrading message
No wifi issues
Install TWRP
Simple update to TWRP
Reported to fix touch screen issues in TWRP
Includes ADB files
Automatically backs up before rooting
Includes PdaNet driver installer
New Remove Wings (for Nabi 2 v2.1+)

1. Check For Proper Drivers
Use this option to check if your computer has the PdaNet drivers communicating with your Nabi2. This is a simple check for existing connectivity. Nothing will be changed. This will also display your Nabi 2 serial number.
2. Install PdaNet Driver
In order for this installer to properly interface with the Nabi 2, you must have the PdaNet driver installed on your computer. This option will start the PdaNet driver installation process for you. Requires Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (32 or 64 bit). If you already have the drivers installed, you can skip this step.
3. Install Recovery and Root
This will install the touch enabled TWRP recovery to the tablet, as well as copy over the rooting file. Use the TWRP install button to select the rooting file and apply.
4. Install Google Apps
After your Nabi 2 is rooted, use this option to install Google apps. After it is copied over, use the TWRP install button to select the Google apps file and apply. Reboot the Nabi 2 (parent mode) and then update the Google apps to the current version of Google Play.
5. Update TWRP
Here you can choose from two experimental versions of TWRP, or drop-in your own custom version. You are given the options of testing and installing. That way you can make sure it works with your Nabi 2 before you flash it.
6. Remove Wings
This option only applies to Nabi 2 system version 2.1+. With version 2.1, Fuhu filled up the /system partition. As a result, there is not enough room to add Google Apps to the Nabi 2. Removing Wings will free up nearly 105 MB, and will allow Google Apps to be installed. You have the option of removing the files with or without backing them up first.
9. Exit
As you might expect, this closes the program window.
Misc. Notes:
Tested with US edition; With other versions you mileage will vary...

Does this method allow you to purchase and.or download apps from the Google Play store or is it just installing the Google Apps that have been known to work on the Nabi (sans purchasing apps from Play)?

Also does this leave the parent / nabi mode intact?
This topic may be dead but I just ran this script for my niece's Nabi 2 to get some better games for her and everything worked except for the Gapps. Flashed 3 times using the script and once using the custom recovery(flashed Gapps.zip). Can someone please help?

I do not have access to the original Nabi, so I cannot confirm whether it will work or not. Most likely it would not work. As for the parent/nabi mode, YES. The process used in this script does not in any way delete or remove your data or Nabi 2 system information. It only adds ROOT and Google apps. Once you have root you could remove whatever you want.

This topic is not dead, I've just been unusually busy this year.
Have you tried wiping the cache/dalvik before flashing GApps? Please post back with some information about your Nabi 2. What is your Nabi kernal #? Have you verified that root is functioning correctly? Is there enough free space available on your Nabi 2 to allow installation of GApps? Is there anything else that you have attempted but did not list above?

Firstly thanks for the reply. Secondly the Nabi in question just received a update in the software and while I was under the impression that it was a nabi one the software clearly showed that the file was Nabi2 update. So with that being said, does this root installer still work on the latest update?

With the latest update (2.1), there seems to be some changes in the Nabi2 that prevent the Google apps from properly loading. Everything else seems to work fine (meaning your Nabi2 still gets rooted). There are some custom rom's in the wiki that include root and gapps.
I am looking into a fix regarding this. I have a possible work around, but it requires manually moving some files. Although, I have not tested it yet so it may not work.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant the "play store" that you said that you installed from the "everything nabi" website. I need the link to there, so that I can see what it is that you installed. If they have more than one version listed there, then I need to know which one you downloaded and installed.
You have Nabi2 Product version 2.1-release-keys
I noticed from your screenshot that the Nabi2 has a new entry: Edition NABI2-NV7A-US which does not exist yet on the one that I have here (which is much older).
Have you done anything to verify that you have properly functioning root on the Nabi2?
I remember that screen cover. A little window cleaner, and those white lines come right off. I actually used that as the screen protector for a while. Until I got an actual screen protector that fit the entire screen completely.
Simple answer is the system partition is full. Gapps and full 2.1.27 don't fit. Have to delete something to have gapps fit on /system. I discuss a bit of it here:

A new Beta version (1.5.0) has been posted. It addresses the full partition issue with the Nabi2 v2.1+ update, and introduces updated *.zip files as the beta element. For those interested, please read the updates on the first post, test, and post back your experience with it.
More would have been included, but due to unrelated RL issues I had to save the rest for a future update.
Hello all,
I didn't find a Cyanogen specific forum so I'm posting here.
The last stock update to my Galaxy SII somewhat messed it up, it started running boiling hot, drining the battery without showing any CPU or anything. So today I installed the stable CyanogenMod (10.1.3) and so far it doesn't have this problem.
Two important questions:
- how do I get my gmail address book inside the phone ? Under Settings/Accounts I only see CyanogenMod, and trying to add one gives me Corporate (Exchange), CyanogenMod (again) and Email.
- how do I get Swype ? It's not available from the Language&Input settings.
- how do I view the external SD card from the file manager ? It only shows the internal storage.
OK, that was 3. Thanks

Did you also install the gapps package when installing CyanogenMod? The Google Account is only available when you install gapps.
CyanogenMod doesn't come with Google Apps and accound and other Googly stuff preinstalled, due to licencing issues. You have to flash gapps separately in recovery, after installing CyanogenMod. You can read more about gapps and download them here.

Swype is available here on Play Store. There is also a free version, you can find it on Play Store as well.
Note that to be able to install apps from Play Store, you have to install the gapps package first.

Go to File manager - Settings - General Settings, and under Access Mode select Root Access Mode. Press allow on the dialog that pops up, and then go back to the directory listing in File Manager. On the top of the app you will see the path which you are currently viewing. Click on the / and you will get to the root directory of your phone, where you can find a folder called externalSD or something similar. That is your external SD card.
Hope this helps.

That solves it, but requiring root just to access sdcard files is a bit dangerous if it can access any system files as well...

Well, root access is not required to access the external storage card, but you have to enable root access to be able to go to other directories than internal SD card in the CyanogenMod File Manager. It is a bad design decision, though.
You may install other file manager apps from the Play Store, lots of them have the option to access external SD card without root. I don't have a phone with internal AND an external storage, so I can't test it, but I believe Clean File Manager will do the job fine, at least based on its Play Store description. You could also try Astro File Manager or ES File Explorer, these are one of the most popular file managers on Android.
Thank you. I used "OI file manager" and it worked fine.
I have a few other questions as I discover Cyanogen if you don't mind:
- it took me a while to get the FM radio working again, thanks to Spirit UL
- using the default Apollo music player, I don't see how I can 'Play all'. I can queue a song, an album or an artist. But I don't see how I can randomly play everything. The menu button hardly ever seems to do anything.

This may be because you are using CyanogenMod 10.1. Apollo was just beginning when CM 10.1 was released, so the option to Shuffle All may not be there. I've got CyanogenMod 10.2 on my phone and CyanogenMod 11 on my tablet and I've got the option to Shuffle All present when I press the overflow menu button on the starting screen of Apollo. See the picture:

If you really don't have the option there, you have a few options:
Install a newer version of Apollo from this thread.
Install a newer version of CyanogenMod, which will include the newer Apollo. CM 11 is the latest and greatest, and a lot has improved from CM 10.1. Here is the official thread for your device. Really, you should try it.
Install another music player. I'm using NexMusic and I'm very happy.
By the way, when you reply to someone, then if you quote his post, he can get a notification that you quoted the post and find out about your new reply. Otherwise it's a small probability that he'll notice there is a new post in the thread. I saw your reply by chance, when I was searching for another thread I posted in. You can quote a post by clicking the Reply button under it.
Here's some other XDA Tips you may find helpful.

You have the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100, right? I sent you the link for CM 11 for that device in the previous post. 10.1.3 was the last release marked as stable, but don't let that fool you. I'm using nightlies on my tablet and they are running without a problem. On an popular older device, like the S II, the stability bugs have been fixed during the long development period, and now it is running nearly without problems. Yesterday they even released a M3 Snapshot build, so there should really be no major problems and almost no minor problems, for sure stable enough for daily usage. Still, I'd recommend you to look at your device's thread and see if someone reported some major problem or not.

You have the Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100, right? I sent you the link for CM 11 for that device in the previous post. 10.1.3 was the last release marked as stable, but don't let that fool you. I'm using nightlies on my tablet and they are running without a problem. On an popular older device, like the S II, the stability bugs have been fixed during the long development period, and now it is running nearly without problems. Yesterday they even released a M3 Snapshot build, so there should really be no major problems and almost no minor problems, for sure stable enough for daily usage. Still, I'd recommend you to look at your device's thread and see if someone reported some major problem or not.

That's good to know. I'll try nightly then.
I tried NexMusic and it's nice. A related question is that I have headphones with a 'play/pause' button and when I hold the button it brings up Google voice input. I'd rather have a 'skip to next song' function. Looked at some hardware button threads but did not see a direct solution in the settings. I installed ButtonRemapper but I also don't see distinctions for long presses there.

You can try Headset Button Controller, for me it works the best of all the apps I tried on my HD2. It has specific options for long presses and much more.
