So, to clarify : you can install apps from play store, but not from a .apk on your sd card? That's an issue to do with halo. The fix? Either update your ROM to the newest nightly, assuming the issue is fixed, check the PACman thread to see if it's fixed. (if there is a new nightly, not sure if PAC do nightlies..). Otherwise, you have to disable halo each time you want to install an app from sd card. Disabling halo is done by double tapping on it but holding down the second tap. Then you can move the halo, drag it up to the red circle cross at the top of the screen. Install your app and re-enable halo.

[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
put those five files onto the micro sd card
Step 1:
settings>applications>unknown sources>tick it
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
Press and hold the Vending.apk until the menu pops up and choose copy
go back to Root Explorer
go to system
go into app
on the top press Mount R/W
and then press the paste button on the bottom
Find where you pasted Vending.apk
Hold Vending.apk for the menu and press permissions
Make sure all the columns are ticked and select OK
once you get to this step you should see the market icon but you're not done yet you need to go through the same thing you did for Vending.apk for GoogleServicesFramework.apk and MarketUpdater.apk
and you should get it i'll paste the chinese website the author posted pictures

Cannot install apk's PA 3.57

I've just updated my S3 to Paranoid Android 3.57 and when I tried to update the f-droid repository I couldn't tap INSTALL on the screen, thought it might be the f-droid's fault for not updating so I downloaded the .apk from their webpage.. and I still cannot hit "install" the cancel button works fine.
I did try to install another package from .apk but I couldn't so here is the thread, also tried different file managers.
Install from unknown sources is checked in settings.
P.S. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this thread, but I've read this statement about the Paranoid Android development page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=42271154&postcount=4699

[Q] After Upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 I have no GPS anymore

I folowed the instruction and cleared my device in the recovery menu. Idid not install gapps.
After that I installed Osmand and GPS Status. Non of them gets a GPS Fix. GPS Status do not show one satellite and the GPS Icon itself in the Info area do not appear while I use an App who need GPS.
what should I do?
Cyanogenmod I use at moment:
cm-10.2-20130914-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip from get.cm

install the Gapps meant for CM 10.2 and then check
Pleas Explain that.
That seams strange. What has Google to do with GPS?
I did not install gapps becaus I am looking for a minimal version. I Only need the Play Store. I do not net maps, gmail, +, Feedback, Talk, hangout, etc.
Must be a bug with the 10.2 nightly version did you try mentioning this in the main thread?

I was checking out CM 10.2 latest releases and found that its a pretty well known problem here is an official CM page which lists it
Thanks a lot...
Thanks a lot for that. My Problem was in this Forum I was not able to detect the main tread. My level of knowing was not high enough.
Maybe I could take your knowledge. Did you know how I could install gapps only with the Playstore? I checked the Gapps Zip file could I delete all other apks from /system/app/ in the ZIP file?

Yes u can give it a try, but first make a nadroid bkp of ur current setup
Aslo use '7Zip' on ur PC to edit that gapps zip file then copy it on to ur sdcard (internal) and flash it from recovery and see
PS- also try updating Cm10.2 to the latest available nightly wide 'CM updater' and see if it resolves ur GPS issue

As the above poster said you could try that pretty much safely, though you must be careful in not removing other playstore related file's like play services as sometimes their lack of presence will give you a barrage of fc's from play store, other apps like YouTube, Map's etc can be safely removed, I suggest you flash gapps as it is and use an app like system cleanup to remove the system apps you don't need as it will probably remove the associated lib file's and you won't have to worry about them yourself.

Go into Data/data and find the folder/file referring to that app (theme) and delete it. Also go to Data/app-lib and do the same (if it is there). Chances are it is probably only in one location but check both. Usually what this will look like is a bunch of folders in there and the one you are having problems with will look like a file instead – regardless delete the folder/file for that app and then go to google play and it will install.

Don't know, maybe because you use link2sd, so you probably fked up your sd card, try with a new sd.

So the problem is that you can't install applock, am I correct?
Did you check if the app is compatible with your phone? Did you download the apk from a reliable source? Did you tick install from unknown sources?
IMO, the problem is not space issue, but rather a compatibility issue with the app apk file and your phone.
regards, gsstudios
Yes it is compatible
And the apk is installed from Google play store
and I installed the app from this apk before
And yes I tick install from unknown sources

If you've installed it before, then the issue could be some sort of corruption (either from interupted deletion or freezing). Was there any folders created by the app? Try deleting the app's folders manually using a file manager, then try installing again. If all fails, a factory reset could fix the problem if this is the case. Just be careful if you are on stock 4.0.x because it contains superbrick kernel, meaning that you could potentially ruin your device. Just make sure to backup.
regards, gsstudios
Thank you @gsstudios
I deleted the folder created by app
And moved the apk to the internal memory
And it installed successfully
Thank you gsstudios another time
