Hello.
New user longtime reader. I have fewer than 10 post so I am not able to ask my question where I would like. I will try here in hopes someone else can help me.
I have successfully rooted and flashed my KFHFX7 without issues. When I was using the original version of thorrgapps I was able to use Amazon instant video without issue. With this new version I noticed amazon video is no longer installed. This was a huge bonus for me as I had the best of both worlds. Now with this new version the developer removed it all together.
So my question is, is there a way to get the Amazon Instant app back and working the way it was on the original release? I would hate to revert back as I feel this version is far superior. If someone knows how to get Amazon video working I would appreciate it or if someone could ask or post the question to the developer in the original link I would be ever thankful.
I think it was removed for space reasons. If you can find something else to delete just put the app back

I found I had plenty of space. I am just not sure what apks to install that allow the Amazon Video to work. I known there are more besides just the Amazon Instant (which I already installed.)
you can use saftstrap.

I just got my tab a couple of weeks ago and I'm wanting to download the sony reader. I see it but when I try to download it gives me an error (that I seem to be running into a lot) "no number associated with his account" or some such nonsense. Do I need to change rom's or download something? I just want the reader I'm use to and a sky map. Why is this so hard?
To get most useful answers to this type of question, you need to include which ROM /kernel you are using
I would like to add on to this thread if i may.
how about the full market for TNT 4.4.0?? i have the market working but its truly not the full market as alot of my purchased apps are not showing up.
could anyone help with a complete market fix for TNT 4.4.0??
I believe the following site is a good place to start for all nOObies
http://gtabfans.com/
In there has pretty much the standard setups for everyone
I'm using the standard 3588 rom.
I'll look at the website recommended thanks
I noticed several weeks back that my tab was not listed as a device in the the market when I visited the web-market. I could see my phone, but not my tab. It had been there. What happened to it? I began to think I broke *that* functionality of it somehow. I mean, I screw with my tab constantly.
I conveniently noticed there was an update for VeganGinger (7.10) so I went for it. Nope. No market device listing. (the 7.10 update broke it, I thot) Okay. Let's try Flashback. Nope. And, it's a *known issue.* Damn.
This morning, I emailed Google: For the last few weeks, I have been unable to "see" my device on the market. My phone is listed as my device, but my tablet has vanished from the list. I am still able to download apps from the tablet. It's just that my viewsonic g-tablet does not appear in the list of my devices. It's inconvenient when I want to install a market app to my tablet from the "web" android market.
A very nice person replied: Hi there, Thanks for contacting us today. According to our records, the device that you are using is not supported for use with Android Market at this time.
The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Android Market is an application created by Google that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install Android Market on their devices.
For more information about the Android Compatibility Program, please visit: http://source.android.com/compatibility/index.html
If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of your device directly. I’ve provided a link below for your convenience: http://www.viewsonic.com/support/
I was unsatisfied, and a bit annoyed, so I replied and asked: As I mentioned, my device *had previously* shown up in the market.
Does the removal of my device mean that google has changed their device compatibility specs? Or that they are enforcing those specifications more stringently?
Additionally, is there anything I can do to allow my device to show up again? Or am I caught between google and a manufacturer that has stopped supporting their device?
Their answer: Your device wasn't ever a supported device unfortunately.
It does sometimes take a while for Market to recognize that the device is unsupported but once it does it isn't reversible. Viewsonic should have suggestions for alternative app sources. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know.
WHAT? Not reversible? Oh dear.
One more question: Will the limited Market functionality I currently have on my viewsonic device continue, or will it "go away" in the future?
The google answer: At this time, I can't say for sure whether you'll retain the access you currently have or not. I'm not aware of any planned updates to Market that would affect this but that doesn't mean they aren't in the works behind the scenes.
So, my fellow Viewsonic aficionados, there is the answer to the "howcum I don't see my g-tab anymore...?" queries. I just thought you'd all want to know.

BTW, If this info helped you, don't hesitate to hit the "thanks" button, k?

Yep. Your choices are to use Amazon (which works fine) and keep using the Market app (updated one, if needed, for HC roms) to download updates & freebies from the Market directly on the device.
And continue to scratch your head at the mess that is Android.
I'm glad i sold my Gtablet and got the HTC Flyer when Best Buy had them on sale.

Thanks, Tidbit.
And now, we return you to the thread.
So, is anyone aware of a way to clear/change identifying info from the g-tab to restore this ability, or do we collectively think it's a lost cause?

Not having it show up in the web store is not a big issue for me. Just download from the market on the tablet?

I am betting that it has something that needs to be changed in the build.prop in /system
If we can figure out which part needs to be changed to transmit a different ID to the market, then I imagine we as GTablet users should be golden. I can still buy and install on the device, just not from Web Market. Oh well....I still have 2.3.7 and very few other users do...yay Cyanogenmod!
Same problem with 10s
I have the same problem with a Viewsonic 10s. Mine has a stock rom and installing the market apk didn't work. Will flashing a new ROM fix things? Or having Root access allow installing apps from the SD?
I still have a few says to return the tablet so if things don't resolve themselves soon, back it goes.

No. I have flashed three times since this discovery, to no avail.
You can *still* browse and install the apps from Android Market to your device.
*The only functionality this affects is the ability to install an app to your tab when you're browsing the Market from your PC.*
Dan
Doesn't the 'market fix' that changes the device ID to allow more apps to show up, already accomplish this?
build.prop... what device= do you use??

I was using 'olympus' as the device= in my G Tab build.prop but recently found I could not install the Eye-Fi app... so I changed the device= to 'sholes' (same as my original Moto Droid which downloaded the app just fine)... bust still no love on the G Tab.
what device= are you folks using in build.prop on your G Tab?
(I'm running Vegan 5.1.1)

I'm running the Beasty rom, made no special changes and it just started working again yesterday. In fact, it shows the last 3 roms that I have installed!
Can thiIS this app be installed over AOKP? if yes, does anyone have the APK? it was included in the task rom...can i just pull it out from there?
This is no warez forum...
the OP simply might not realize that it's warez, though. After all, it came free with the stock ROM and it's also included in Galaxy Task since that is based off of the stock ROM.
but yeah, to OP: this is considered warez and is a no go on these forums. Think of it as part of Samsungs touchwiz package. Since you decided to go pure android, you decided not to use Samsungs horrible UI but you have to live with Quickoffice not being free. Use whatever means you like to obtain it, but don't tell us ;-)

didn't realize its warez, on the samsung based rom it was included, but not fully registered.
anyway consider this thread closed, i'll just purchase the app...thanks for informing me
*cough, can't as taiwan blocked play store apps.....wish they can consider pay pal
I have quick office, docs2go, but have recently been using "cloud on". I definitely recommend that as I'm finding it as functional as the other two. It's also free!
but cloud on also requires another registration and username. I installed it, was asked to register an account and instantly uninstalled it. I'd even assume that it therefore requires an online connection to be usable, but that was just an assumption as I didn't even want to bother with another account that I'll probably never use anyways, given that I have a pretty nice sollution already pre-installed on my tab.

Well, download tasks ROM, use a root explorer to extract the apk from system/apps, then sideload that apk on your new(er) rom.
OR
When on tasks ROM do a titanium backup of ALL apps, save the backup folder, flash a new ROM, install from the backup
If your original stock ROM came with the same gimped version, I do not think retrieving it this way is unethical. My tab came with polaris office though, didn't know other countries came with something different.

Task14 is based off Honeycomb, while AOKP is working with ICS. It's a crap shoot if QuickOffice will work on it. Good Luck!
I purchased quickoffice and have it running on my Desire (gingerbread), stock tab 10.1 (honeycomb 3.2), AND I purchased it for my Son who is running it just fine on his transformer prime (ics).
In short, buy it and you will not be dissapointed, it will work on ics, and unlike the gimped freemium / bloatware version that shipped with your tab a purchased version will see regular updates.
The main point, the purchased version runs great on gb, hc, and ics.

Basic Android stuff, need some help, any suggestions welcome!:fingers-crossed:

Hello everyone,
I need pointed to the right forum.
I recently purchased the above phone, my landphone died, this came second hand from eBay. It works perfectly, but I mainly wanted it because its Android, and I can use my Google contacts and not have to input them one by one. And because its Android!
The specs are on a photo attatched below. It is rooted with SU app installed and working.
I downloaded zipped Gapps for 2.3.5, extracted to folder, then put the folder on the ExtSD, then to IntSD.
My problem is this, it shipped with the SlideMe market, I'm trying, and failing to get Google Play sideloaded on it. There is no option to add a Google account of course, if I try to direct install, it gives the message "you need to add a google account", if I click yes, the app fc's. If I push the app to system/app, the same occurs.
I'm not the most technical Android guy, but I've been flashing etc, for a few years now, on various makes and models, but this has me stumped. I've had to flash Gapps before for ROM's, I've sideloaded apps too, but am I missing something here. What gives the extra option to add a Google account? I've done this before on a few tablets etc, never had a problem.
Where is it best to post/get some help? (and hopefully not be laughed at to hard!)
Someone posted a thread over this phone (years ago), 3 answers, nothing helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Skivit
Help me Obi-Wan, your our last hope...
Nobody has any idea, or maybe knows someone who can help me out? :crying:
Hello. There has been many threads regarding Sky Go - I've read them all and still can't get Sky Go working. I have went on freelancing sites and offered guys up to £300 to either patch the app, create a new app similar to virtual HDMI output, or custom ROM but no one has been able to do it. So this is my last hope. I noticed there was a fella on here who has removed HDMI output from apps, but he hasn't been online since December, and hasn't replied to my messages yet.
Can anyone do this? I need it running on Android 6.0+. Either patched Sky Go UK app, or custom rom. I am still paying for this to be done via Bitcoin. If you have this done already, I will pay £300. I will hand money over to the mod. Hope this is not against the rules
