I just installed the Ubuntu Touch double boot, and I'm able to boot it and everything seems to be working as expected.
But I cannot find the terminal app, I thought this was part of the core applications and should be available already after installing the basic Ubuntu Touch? Or should I update something?
I found the answer myself, searching for "Terminal" in the Application Dash didn't get me anything, but searching for Clock showed me the core apps there. Clicking on the "Terminal" I could install it (after going back to System and adding my Ubuntu One account).
I thought "core" applications would be in the system by default but only the "system" apps are there after a clean install.

Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.
Hello everyone,
I received my HPTouchpad today and updated my Webos to 3.0.4. I got Android running on my Touchpad and followed all the steps to install the Android Market. However, the market app wasn't installed. I can't find the icon anywhere. I uninstalled Android and use Webos doctor to reset my Touchpad. I repeated every steps and still not getting the market app to show up on my device.

Can you be more clear? Did you install gapps?
HTC Vision(G2), meXdroidmod Ghost Chili AIO.
I had this same issue. Its not listed correctly in the how to.
You nerd to install the gaps zip from cwm. I'd post a link but i'm at work on my phone, prob easier to just do a quick search here on the forums for gapps
Go here on your Touchpad. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Latest_Version/Google_Apps
Download the one for CM7, then reboot to CWM, choose install zip from SD, go to your downloads folder and select to install it. Reboot back into Android and then add you Google account to Settings > Accounts & Sync (make sure you're connected to wifi) then you should be up and running with a little installer type thing appearing.
You need to add your Google account after flashing gapps, and the Market icon will appear.

I'm new to nook, but so far I've managed to get my new tablet running nearly everything I want via golauncher and manual apk files. Youtube, reader, google email are all good. Only thing really missing is the Android market.
Based on reading through this forum and the KF and others, the patterns seems to be people getting the google services loaded, rebooting, getting andorid installed and then it crashing shortly after launch. This is also where I am at and I've tried what must be 10 different versions of the market. I did notice that different versions produce slightly different results. I wonder if the market versions are dependent on certain versions of the google framework service package?
I think I read on some other forums that the Android market place must run from the "system" area or something. if you copy it to the right place and change the file permissions correctly, it apparently runs ok where as it fails elsewhere. Is that where it is failing for us I wonder? It's not in the right place and we don't have root to put it there?
I read that titanium backup can convert a user apk in to a system apk. Is the market app a user apk? If so, has anyone tried converting it to a system apk with titanium and trying to letthe package installer installis as a system verison ??
As I said, just a n00b. so please excuse any silly suggestions. Just trying to chip in with ideas
cheers
the only issue with that would be that titanium requires root
Could it be backed up/converted as a system app from a nook color and then imported to nook tablet?
UPDATE: I tried a few things on another NT running 1.4.1 and I was able to get the Android Market working. Here are the steps I followed:
Both of the units I have the market working on were initially rooted on 1.4.0 and Google Apps installed using the method described by Indirect. Note that this did not include installing the FOTAkill.apk which prevents Firmware Over-The-Air upgrades.
On the first unit the Google Apps packages were side loaded prior to rooting as described by Anlog.
The second unit I did not side load Google Apps first, instead installing them as part of Indirect's root kit.
Both units also had the tgps_launcher package installed. It is not necessary to use this particular package (you could use AnyCut to create the shortcut). If you do not side load the Google Apps apks prior to upgrade to 1.4.1 you will need some method to get back to the Application Settings screen.
Firmware 1.4.1 arrived on both Nook Tablets. On the first tablet that had Google Apps side loaded the market and Google Mail continued to work properly. On the second tablet that installed Google Apps as root the market and Google Mail both stopped working.
On the second unit I used tgps_launcher to get to the Application Settings screen. I disabled auto-mount, and enabled USB debugging (twice, once for each check box). I then connected the USB cable to my PC where the unit showed up as an Android Phone.
Launch a command prompt. Change directory to C:\ntroot (this is where you unzipped Indirect's files right?). Then execute the following commands:
C:\ntroot>adb install system\app\GoogleServicesFramework.apk
2869 KB/s (2238785 bytes in 0.762s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Success
C:\ntroot>adb install system\app\MediaUploader.apk
1988 KB/s (270892 bytes in 0.133s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/MediaUploader.apk
Success
Once these steps were completed I was able to launch Android Market and I was prompted to sign in to my account. Once signed in I could install new apps and upgrade existing apps from the Android Market.
Also, if you need to manage the Google accounts on your Nook Tablet, you can get to the account management screen from the GMail app. Launch GMail, then click the soft menu button. Select Accounts. Click the soft menu button again and choose Account Settings. This displays the Account Settings activity where you can add a new account, adjust the sync settings for existing accounts, or delete an account.
I've read in several other threads that post 1.4.1 update a lot of folks are experiencing trouble with Android Market. Am I the only lucky one who can still use the Android Market after the 1.4.1 upgrade?
Here are some notes on my experience:
My NT firmware version is 1.4.1
I no longer have root access
Side loading from the nook tablet no longer works
I can still purchase and install apps via the Android Market properly
Since side loading doesn't work I can't purchase apps via alternative markets (Amazon, AppBrain, GetJar, etc). It also appears that the files I replaced in /system/apps have been at least partially restored (Google Calendar is missing, the keyboard is now a weird mashup of the NT stock keyboard and the honeycomb keyboard).
Thinking back on the initial steps I took with my nook tablet, I first side loaded all of the google apps prior to rooting. That meant I had an installed copy of Android Market and GMail outside of /system/apps. I was also able to launch the Android Market and setup my google account, but received the familiar crash at that point. I then rooted and installed google apps to /system/apps which left me with a working Android Market. I'm wondering if that first step of side loading google apps prior to root is why I have a working Android Market now on firmware 1.4.1.
Anyone else have a working Android Market on 1.4.1? If so, was your setup process similar to mine, or different in some way?

I managed to install MediaUploader, but GoogleServicesFramework failed:
C:\ntroot>adb install GoogleServicesFramework.apk
2052 KB/s (2189960 bytes in 1.042s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
I found that I had the google certificate inside the file OneTimeInitializer.apk, but I'm unable to install it (same error).
Does anyone know if there's any way to get the google cert installed without rooting?
Thanks
Hmmm, I must have loaded that cert as one of the side effects of actions I took while still running 1.4.0. I get that same error when I attempt to install the other apks from the gApps folder.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
I have a 1.4.0 rooted tablet that autoupdated to 1.4.1. I had lost market functionality. I followed your three easy steps and everything is great now.
Hi guys, I just installed android-7.1-r2 X86 on my laptop (Dell E6430). I installed Dingtalk,Gaode map on my x86 Android, but they never run ! I never see the first activity of any app I installed. Originally installed app such as Google Chrome, Terminal Emulator runs ok. I have already turned on the App compatability for ARM libraries, but apps still never work. (The app I installed is not from Google play, they are from vendor's website)
