Hi everyone,
im having problems updating the build in Tunein 5.1 to the latest 7.1.
It works doing it via market oder apk but after a restart 5.1 is installed again by the system.
How the hell can i fix it...the old 5.1 must be somewhere & getting restored after every single restart...

I got a reply from archos support.
" 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.

Hi all,
Well for everyone who want's to have the Google apps like:
Android market
Youtube
Gmail
etc.
Here is a link to a share where the gapps4archos can be downloaded.
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS:
WARNING: You cannot install this appInstaller if you installed gApps4Archos or any other gApps installer. Anytime you switch appInstaller programs, you MUST reset your device back to stock. If you've NEVER installed ANY market/gApps installer, then your good... no need to reset.
NOTE: If you've ONLY used my appInstaller, then you can REMOVE the old files using my app and re-install the apps at the same time, then REBOOT.
1) Download - http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list
2) Copy download to your device via USB (if you didnt download directly using your Archos)
3) Use 'Files' app to locate gAppsInstaller, then execute/install it
4) Choose install packaged apps or choose to install your own packaged 'apps.zip' file located on the internal drive (not sdcard)
4a) 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)
5) REBOOT!!
6) Follow the Market FIX instructions below
MARKET FIX:
This will get you most missing apps from the market, except some "protect market apps"
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 will not show because they are "protected" Market apps. These include 'NY Times'. Google search "android protected market apps" if your not familar.
NOTE: The latest version of GMAIL and Youtube can be downloaded in the market...
Thanks to our friends from the archosfans.com forum
Thankyou for this, I have seen how much work you have put into it. Tried gAppsInstaller_v3.apk this morning and seems to be working well, no FC's etc so far...

Well i didn't made it, Kenyu73 did make it It makes my device complete, really love the Archos device!
Thanks! I've looked at these instructions a dozen times on ArchosFans and always missed that market was clear cache not clear data and never figured out why it didn't work right for me. With the latest gapps I'm now seeing most everything. Awesome guide!
Edit: For some reason when I use this installer however, TweetDeck will not run properly. It always Force Closes once I've signed into my account and I cannot fix it. This is one of my favorite apps. If someone could figure this out I would appreciate it.
Edit 2: This installer causes a ton of apps not to launch in my experience thus far. TweetDeck as mentioned, Moblox, Angry Birds, they all just FC or hang endlessly. I'd still recommended the other installer with the same steps outlined in this post.
Stupid question but does "reset your device back to stock" mean anything else than a reboot? Like an Android reset or something?

thanks for the advise on market acces update, now finally updated gmail apk
I have the Google Marketplace up and running and for the most part it works wonderfully. My biggest issue are protected applications I use on my HTC EVO aren't showing up and some of these application I really use / enjoy. Some of these are:
1) BatteryView
2) Battery Watch
3) Splash ID!
4) Monster App Pro (I'm using the non-Pro right now)
I've been trying to add the "Market Access" application to the mix to help me with this issue, but thus far can't get z4root to work. Oh, it says it was successful, but none of the programs that need root can get it from the Super User application.
I can live without these protected applications, they are simply nice to have -- except Splash ID!, which IMHO, is necessary to protect my development personal, professional, and development information. I was able to get a work around for Splash ID, for which I'm thankful.

Excuse my ignorance, but how is this at all new? There's been a gapps hack available for every Archos device for quite some time now. It's always been readily available on ArchosFans.com.

It's a different version which allows for more flexibility, especially for updating the two most useful core apps.

It also has less apps in it, saving space for where the apps are installed, especially since Archos only provided around 275~ MB of space for app installation
And not all apps can move to sd card so any space is helpful
All we need now is the Samsung Galaxy Tab email app ported over. If anyone has any idea please share.
Thanks for posting the info for my gAppsInstaller. I've been away from the game for a few days now doing housework "mods" (=
The only issue remaining that I'm aware of with this app is a certain sub-set of apps that FC (AutoZone, OSMonitor and a few others mentioned in this thread. I haven't had time to research, but whatever the gApps4Archos is doing is making these work ok... I'm thinking its some registration of dll files ('so' files perhaps). I do know it copies 4-5 .so files into the froyo/system directory, but i'm not sure right now if I need to do some type of '.so' file registration with them.
If any linux guru's out there know of something I need to do specifically with these (besides copying them to the '/froyo/system' directory, please let me know.

libvoicesearch.so

I dont think he created the original gApps4Archos package, he only de-compiled it, added the updated the apps with the newer 2.2 market then vanished.
I think he dropped of the radar after he did the re-package of that app.

Hi everyone, I flashed my viewsonic gtab with tnt lite 4.4, and everything seems to be working fine, except that the android market thinks i'm using Malata GTablet-TnT-Lite...is there any way to fix this?

Actually, it is seeing it correctly, just not the way you want it to be seen. Your gTablet OEM is actually Malata. With the new version of Market, Google has attempted to tighten non-authorized device access. It gets device info from the build.prop file (/system/build.prop). If you are not having problems with limited app selection or downloading, you can leave as is.
If you are having limited app access/download problems then do a search for "market fix". You will probalby find various edits for the build.prop file to trick market into giving you increased access. When I was on stock 4349 (way back when), I edited mine by adding the following line "ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys". I also remember seeing one that recommended changing "ro.product.device=" to "olympus'. To edit build.prop you will need to use rootexplorer or a similar app. As always it would be best to do a backup with CWM before editing system files.

I have Vegan-tab gingerbread 7.0RC1 pershoot bl1.2.
Flash no longer shows up on my installed apps. When i search for it, It says it is not compatible for my device, google maps does the same thing too. Does anyone else have this problem too. I just noticed it last week.

Yeah, that was the only problem I had with that ROM. It seemed to always happen for me when the tablet would hard freeze and I had to reboot. Once it boots back up, anytime I access the Market, everything was not compatible with GTab.
I never found a solution other than returning to HC. It was a good ROM and that was the only prob I had with it.
Does [BL1.2]VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition v7.1.0 solve this issue?
Yes, it is much better running Vending 3.1.3.
If you have superuser rights, use AntTek App Manager to backup flash, than delete it from system (even sys application version), the Hulufied version from ASOP Ginger posts. You might need to install, update from market, remove, and install Hulufied version to stick.
Just download it on the PC..then hook up your GTab to the PC...drag the Flash 10.3 (Yes that one will work) into the storage on the device. Then download it from there.
All the apps (And there was ALOT) that shows up Non Compatible with your device in the Market...will actually work if you do it that way.
Thank you for all the responses. I went for the upgrade option to Vegantab 7.1. I am very pleased.
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.

Can you share the links or files that get your nook back to normal state?
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...
Restored with 1.4.2 image from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663836 and Google Play (after root with sdcard method) says "FIREFOX is incompatible..."
Also tried to restore with NT_stock_1.4.2_Ribbon_Root_B&N.zip from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494367 and Google Play still says "FIREFOX is incompatible..." Besides 'Go Weather EX' is incompatible too - this is ridiculous.
Anyone has idea how to overcome this?

You mean - can I access 'build.prop' and change DPI there to 160? I probably can, but why exactly 160?
Why not default "169.33333"? As I understand CM7 has '160'?
it took me less than a minute to find this one... please do more searching and reading... thank you !

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.

Thanks for explanation. I looked in build.prop from CW7 and DPI there is set to 160. I will try and report if this solved at least firefox problem.

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!
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.

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!
