I've got a Viewsonic GTablet running TNT Lite v 4.4.0 (which includes the mahimahi fix). When I first ran the market app I saw several THD (tegra hd) apps but saw no Dolphin HD Browser. After the fix the browser is there but my HD games seem to be missing. Is there a solution that will allow both to show up in the market?
My experience is that if you do the fix and just clear the market cache you get things like Opera Mobile (great browser BTW, Hulu is watchable in it unlike Dolphin). If you clear the market cache AND the market data (along with the other steps) then you get Samuari 2 and a few other items, but you do not get Opera and other items.
Very puzzling. What's worse is I'm not sure the things you already have update if they are not showing up in market so every once in a while you have to go do the market fix without clearing the data, let it update stuff. Then do it again with the clear data (you have to reaccept the terms but you don't lose anything -- you will also get prompted about personal voice on search etc. again). Then you can let those apps update.
:-(
Its strange because the fingerprint string does not change (although I've tried that too). This is with Vegan 5.11.
I have been having similar problems - never tried to clear data on the market because all of the instructions say not to. Any other downsides to clearing data on the market app?
I have been looking for a way to load Tegra HD apps and it seems like this might work. Previously I only saw them before doing the market fix and then they never came back.
I have not had any trouble clearing the data. If it worries you, use Ti Backup to make a copy first.
The only thing I've noticed is afterwards you have to accept the google license agreement again and your free apps might not show up for awhile (seems like installing anything out of the market makes them all come back).
Thanks! This fixed me right up. I backed up Market and did a wipe data after that. Saw the missing apps right after I went back into market and accepted the terms again. I assume doing the market fix will set things back the way they were - need to try that still.
It is strange how the pre-fix and post-fix markets have some exclusive apps... if anyone can figure out how to get all at once that would be great.

I had similar problem. Fixed it by this:
use adb pull the /system/build.prop file,make changes in these lines in the file:
ro.product.name=passion
ro.product.device=passion
ro.build.product=passion
and push it back using adb, reboot......., BTW you might want to backup initial build.prop first.
Then you will have complete access to Market. Credits go to Isira, he/she posted it in TnT Lite long thread. I am loading with Vegan now, but it also works for me.
Can you see Samurai 2 and Launcher Pro at the same time using this build.prop fix? We have been discussing build.prop changes in a related thread in general - no luck with similar build.prop fixes:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019891
I will probably still try out this build.prop change though - anything that adds a few more apps is worth trying. Not sure if it fixes this specific problem though (please confirm if it does for you or not though).
No, unfortunately after doing the clear cache/data, the Tegra 2 apps are still missing, but with this fix, Adobe Flash, Air, and ADW.Launcher will show up with Launcher Pro.

I'm new here. I'm doing some searching, but I'm trying to find a thread that discusses my client/device setup.
- Fedora x86_64 release 14 (so I can install Eclipse easily)
- Viewsonic G Tablet with VEGAn-Tab 1.0 Beta 5.1.1
Is it just a matter of installing the Android SDK with Eclipse and setting up adb? Should I worry about anything being that I run Linux/x86_64?
Thanx in advance!

I've been doing embedded Linux for awhile -- my own rolls (uBoot and some JFFS2 storage management), as well as Montavista (Red Hat-based) and even worked as a FAE for TimeSys for a bit (Fedora-based "reference" builds). But my primary role has been Linux consulting for the last dozen years, just intersparsed with Linux (and VxWorks) embedded roles.
I've have experience with Eclipse, and it seems the Android SDK is designed around it (this is my first exposure, yes, I've ignored it until now, other priorities). It shouldn't be too difficult to figure it out, and should be fairly straight-forward and more native on Linux anyway (especially with a cross-compiling GCC and set of targets, like Fedora for ARM). I just assume most documentation here is geared towards Windows users, so I'll try to add any for Fedora and other Linux users if someone hasn't already.
I also have to beware of any gotcha with running Linux/x86-64. I've run into some in the past, even when I've used a chroot environment with 32-bit libs. Linux/x86-64 and Windows x64 take completely different approaches, where Linux/x86-64 is 64-bit native by default and adds some 32-bit support and Windows x64 ships 32-bit compatibility by default and an increasing number of 64-bit native libs.
Updated
Okay, it's fairly straight-forward. The Fedora 14 x86_64 repos still contain all of the i686 toolchain required, and other than the required WST objects, the Eclipse x86_64 packages in the Fedora x86_64 repos contain all of the other objects required. I just had to enable my Eclipse 3.6 (Helios) milestone repo for my user's Eclipse configuration, along with adding the ADT repo, to install the missing objects with ADT. Since this is done as my user in Eclipse, it is only for this user (it would be nice if Google packaged DPKG and RPMs and offered APT and YUM repos, respectively).
I'm almost there.
This won't help the Linux users but I just got ADB setup on Windows 7 x64. Had some trouble using the shell commands so I used QtADB to pull off build.prop and put up an edited version:
http://qtadb.wordpress.com/
Was very easy once ADB was setup per the forum instructions. Also had a little help from a nice generic ADB guide that pointed me toward QtADB:
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-adb-and-how-to-install-it-android/
After a reboot I am now able to see Flash 10.2 after the market fix as well as Firefox and AirAttack HD. Per other reports I can confirm some others are MIA such as Samurai 2 and Vendetta Online. Regardless the Market is certainly more complete with the updated strings.

I tried different combinations on how to clear Market and google frame work data when perfoming market fix, here is what I got:
base line: woot g tabe upgraded to vegan 5.1.1 with CWM recovery, without any kernel update.
initially I could not see Launcher pro and Dolphin HD browser in the market, but did see samurai 2 (tegra 2 optimized) and crazy snowboard, so I decided to do market fix, followed this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2YcJdxJ24U,
1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, do NOT clear data, then force stop;
2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.
3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,
4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),
5.open market again
Now seeing Dolphin HD browser and launcher pro , fancy widget..., but samurai 2 and crazy snowboard and probably some other apps are missing,
Then follow the link of modifying build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019891), get bunch of apps back, eg. now seeing crazy snowboard, flash 10.2, airattach HD and firefox together with launcher pro etc. But Samurai 2 is still missing, maybe plus some other apps. So I tried this slightly different route doing market fix again:
1. go to application managment, select Market in running apps, clear cache, CLEAR data, then force stop;
2. select google frame work , clear data, then force stop.
3. go back to home, open market again, should see an error,
4. reboot,and wait for system to be stable( at least wifi signal),
5.open market again
And samurai 2 is back, but launcher pro 2 is missing again.
it is very confusing. but seems clearing or not clearing data in market fix can be an alternative way to let us access different part of market after build.prop fix. I really do not care if I get a true complete market right now, to some point, you never know it.
It seems like you can forget everything else and just try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1020130
I did this on stock 3588, and have seen apps that I've never seen before in market. Thank the OP in that thread if it works for you ...

This worked perfect! I know have access to all apps! Thanks a million!
I used Iphone for 2 years, windows phone 7 for 3 years and now I own an android 4.0.4 phone last 2 years.
I have never had any single issue with Iphone and WP7 as following problems occurred on an Android OS,
- Memory is full. it is slow. Use some app to boost your memory (kill apps whatever). It never ends. Sometimes needs to restart your phone.
I can never understand why do I need to run apps on the background while IOS and WP can handle them efficiently with sleep-wake thing.
They also run some apps on background but only system apps I believe. I dont need my whatsapp to occupy 30mb memory, when message comes, it just wakes up and shows me I have a message.
- Storage is full, cant install new apps or updates. Oh damn, it even happens when my storage isnt full. I have no idea why? I have to google.
- xxx.google.com process stopped working. restart the phone!
- Google to move non-movable apps to SD card.
- my camera stopped working or lagging. No no it is freaking hardware issue. It is totally the software. you can google millions of threads about it.
- .thumbnails4 hold 1 gb + storage when I want to see the photos or videos. google it, struggle for days, weeks for a solution if you are lucky, you get one.
- I can find more and more reason that Android sucks and I am not student or idle. I don't have time to google the things. I am not even getting payed for googling for these workarounds. I never had any single issue for Iphone and Windows phone.
Please give me a good reason that Android is better OS than these 2.
thanks.
1-sometimes you shouldn't blame the os but the device,(in galaxy ace's and gio's that problem is really common,)
2- android runs on tablets,smartphones,pc's, smartwatches,tv's, alarm clocks, cars and some stuff that i dont even know.
3-comprare the number of apps and the compatibility for number of devices that wp must have and android must have.
4-compare the number of connections and the time that were launched that android offer vs wp (otg, acess point for sharing 3g,wifi direct, nfc...)
5-and the functions that android updates bring, (swipe keyboard,photoshpere,launcher upgrades, toogles in navbar, unique uis for each company,swap your lockscreen, etc...)
6-not to mention the development(remapping keys,change 100% of the internal software/apps,in some cases, install other os like meego, run ubuntu over android,and so much more)
im not here to say that android is better than any os, android could be good for me and not suit for you, i guess the only way to know is to try it out, and i also think that you just had an horrible experience cause of the device.
This is why i buy android devices.
So, I've been in the last row of Desktop space in Windows for years now, but it never really filled.
Programs were added, and programs were removed.
So, No idea how Windows deals with shortage of Desktop space. (I should find that out too)
But, my Desktop space in Remix OS filled within days. ANd I don't know how to increase it.
Should I uninstall or disable My Desktop and add a launcher ? (it being a system core app and all, probably not a good idea)
And anyway, I love Remix OS shortcuts, quick to access , easy to find. One of the many wonderful things I love about Remix OS.
So, how do I go about it ?
The Start Menu/App Drawer exists, but I don't want to be clicking that everytime I've to access something.

I w'd create folder and move some icons in it
I'll do that

In your screenshot I see apps like "Docs" and "Sheets". In other screenshots I saw app "Skype", too.
I can install these 3 apps, but on my computer (Lenovo T400) they do not run. One or two seconds after I have started them, they stop working and disappear from the screen. Other apps like Dropbox, Evernote, K-9, Firefox, etc. run without any problem.
Did you (or someone else) run Skype, Docs, or Sheets successfully on Remix OS?
Haven't tried Skype yet, but Doc/Sheets work fine.
Have you tried running them in fullscreen mode - ON ?
And did you download those apps from PLayy store ?

You can use Nova Launcher and its ability to group similar apps. See my post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3330231
I tried it on 2 laptops, on 1 (i5, intel graphics) everything runs fine.
On the other one (old intel processor, old nvidia graphics) it boots up but some apps (skype, antutu for example) just close right after starting. Also i can create folders on desktop buf i cant open them directly, filemanager just closes like other apps. However if i start the filemanager and navigate to the folder in there it works.
I also tried it on an intel atom (server board tho) runs really smooth on there but both onboard network ports are not working. When i go to ethernet settings it shows som (random?) mac address, witch doesn't belong to any of the network ports. I hope my network chip will be supported in some future release.

I've been running Remix OS from my USB 3.0 stick on a Acer C720P Chromebook. The most recent installer in the download on your website works fine when installing the contents to a USB stick, but my Chromebook wouldn't recognize it what-so-ever in the legacy boot menu. I had to extract the .iso and use it with Linux Live USB creator for my chromebook to finally recognize it as bootable. Once I got it booting, the touchscreen and touchpad both work great, but doesn't recognize the "F" keys, which is a bummer for trying to turn up/down brightness and volume. When closing my chromebook, and then opening it back up again, I sometimes lose my touchscreen function. Not sure what would cause that. Also, I'm able to place all of my widgets where I want them in the widgets app, but the only button I see is a + at the bottom, and then the grid for placement. After I place everything, and go back to the home screen, none of my widgets are there, but the app itself still has all my widgets there and where I've placed/resized them when I pop open the app again.
Apps that require a lot of input and manipulation like chrome, facebook, etc. constantly time out and pop up with a "Wait or force close" box. I suspect this is because I'm running the OS on the USB stick. Chromebook users have been begging for more of an android experience on their chromebooks for ages now due to Chrome OS's.... limits. Your OS so far has been very promising! Games from the app store run very smoothly, and work great with the touch screen. My only hope is that you guys create an install-to-hard drive option in the future as an option on USB keys... Hopefully with a easy-to-understand for-dummies partitioning interface for easy dual booting installation with other OS's.
