3389 and Market

Ever since the update, I have been having a problem with Market. I have tried all of the "fixes" but to no avail. I DO have access to Market, but only the limited one. Here is my problem: when going through the steps, I get market started, browse around a bit, then go to my "home" screen,[ I use Launcher Pro]. I go to settings, but I cannot find Market under the Running section. I can't even find it under the System services, section. I see it under the Downloads section. When I do the steps as directed, nothing happens. I do not get the "error" message that I am supposed to get. And when I start up again, I still have limited access to Market. It is frustrating that most, if not all, of the app sites depend on access to Market, e.g. appbrain, droidpit, etc. I am not ready to go Tnt lite. I did see a thread to flash parts of the rom, and add market, etc, but am afraid it would disable OTA for the future. Any suggestions?

Losing the OTA is not that big a deal. Viewsonic posts a link to their updates on their site and a link is posted here within seconds of an update showing up.
Are you using "Market" or gMarket" that comes with the 3389 update?
When you run "Market" browse around and then hit the "home" button. Unless you have a taskmanager installed, market will stay running. Market should then show up under the "running" section. I am a little confused because I have never seen the Market under the "downloaded" section.

Thanks...
Thanks, BadFrog for the reply. I use Market. The gmarket gets me to Handango, which is really not that good. For some reason, Market does not show up under running, no matter what I do. I even tried to download a freebie to ensure it is running. But when I hit the home button, and go to the settings, it, as well as the other app I am supposed to force close are both under the downloaded, and not in running. Is there a way to reinstate OTA after flashing the market fix?

How exactly did you install the market. (I'm installing an older backup of tntlite becuase the menu structure is a bit different from vegan but the same as stock) I can install stock and market the way you did and see if I can help.

I had the same issue too with the market. I found this thread with the market fix. Just go to step 6 and follow the instruction on Youtube link.

I have the same problem after installing market and google apps through the same process. Everytime I launch market it says no apps found until I click one of the categories at the top. Even then, there are only some apps listed and most searches I try for apps I want to install (mog music for instance) aren't found by searching either.
I believe it has something to do with the version of the market, and whatever viewsonic put on the tablet by default? That said, I have tried to upgrade to the new market from an APK file I found in the forums here and it won't install. Hmmm

Follow the market fix steps

Thanks for the video link talexander18!! I'm was Vegan5 and still not getting the full market ... that did the trick for me.

Market
BadFrog, I used the files that came with the fix. It had a folder GTablet, with subfolders, and I transfered over files from the APK, permissions, etc, to my tablet, and I ran the apks, in the order suggested. I actually did this before the latest upgrade and it worked fine. But with the latest one, for some reason, Market, and the other google app I am supposed to force close won't come up in the running section.

I'm gonna assume your using the official viewsonic update 3389 then. I would suggest installing the performance pack from here

This will get you the latest NVidia drivers and the market. You will keep the complete stock look.

Yes, I guess that is what I will try next. Thanks.

[Q] Min reqs for app install

I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.
My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.
As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.
Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?

So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.
I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?

ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.
Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.

all samsung tabs are different...so in lots oof countries they made some differnces in possibilties.
Try out by going to my weblog and after registering to download thje apks you find in the download section.
Best is to download this on another laptop..and copy the apk to the micro sd card in a folder with your name
then withe a file manager clck on the apk to see if they install
not working.....then you need to root your samsung to make it work

thanks for the info. I didn't think rooting would break anything but my paranoia got the best of me.

I rooted my phone yesterday and was able to install and run apps that need SU rights. I'm still havin trouble removing the apps that came with the Tab. Thoughts anyone?
FYI, I can uninstall apps that I've downloaded from the market.

Oho. stock apps cannot be uninstalled. Simplest way to uninstall stock apps is to use Titanium Backup Pro. Before you do that, be sure you backup the app in case you need it again later.

[Q] Enabling non-market aps with OneClick

I have used SuperOneClick to root my phone, and am now trying to use it to enable non-market aps. When I do, I get the following message:
Checking value... (requires root)
Non-market applications are disabled.
Allow non-market apps... (requires root)
OK
Checking value... (requires root)
FAILED​
Can anyone let me know what I need to do to enable non-market aps?

Did you try a non market app Install to make sure it wasn't working?
Sent from my phone on steroids

Bro...same thing here. What I did was flash to just about any rom and the rom will allow to install non market apps. Also, on the market there is an app that allows you to install apps from the SD card. So you could go to getandroidstuff.com and download the .apk, put on your cappy, and use the app to install. But personally I like the ROM! Yee

Sorry, I never got an e-mail that I got a reply.
Yes, I've tried to download the new Amazon market but get an error message that I can't install non-market aps.

There is a second way. It involves tibu and a brain.
1. Find settings storage in an Sqlite editor, I use sqlite from the market, it costs money but it is worth it.
2. Find the database in settings storage and open it
3. Click on secure
4.look at the first column, find allow non market apps.
Change the value for the non market apps from 0 to 1
5. Save the database.
You may need to reboot but that shouldn't be necessary
If it is already a 1 then change it to a zero and save then do it again.
Also before you do this download the super one click again and try it with the newly downloaded one click.

Did you root using one click, then try that( i reccomend rageagainstthecage method)(on the right upper corner of program)

New Google Music App Won't Install

I just got my Google Music invite and I'm in the process of uploading my library. While I was waiting I tried to install the Google Music app on my N1. It downloads, then tries to install itself and then I get the message Installation unsuccessful. Application cannot be installed in the default install location. My phone is completely stock. Not rooted or anything. It's running 2.3.4 GRJ22 with Launcher Pro. What's going on here?

It probably needs to be installed in /system/apps which is where the original is located. Without it coming to you from Google Ota, I am not sure how to move the file without root.

I wonder why it would be available to download from the market if that was the case.

Just give it a few tries. Mine is installed in /data, and it works fine...

Make sure that your default install location is set to internal or automatic (I think that is an option with stock Gingerbread). I remember reading that this failed if you had it set to install things to external.

I was thinking this was also in a stock install. I guess it is a CyanogenMod only thing. I'd guess this isn't your problem if you don't even have the option to change.

Good. I noticed you found the other post that I had seen about this. (I had the hardest time trying to find that, because I wanted to reference it for this thread.)
But for others, plug your phone into the usb and make sure you have adb set up (this isn't the place for a tutorial, there are lots that can be found through google). And make sure USB Debugging is turned on. Then enter this command on your computer.
Code:
adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0

Thanks Rod3, I was having the same problem not being able to install from the market. As it turns out I had my Installation Location set to "External". After changing the setting to "Internal", Google Music was able to install.
I'm using CM7.

Updated Maps [5.8.0] for Tiamat

I've gotten pretty fed up with the constant "Maps has Failed to Install" and "You have new updates" blah blah blah notifications on my Xoom with Tiamat 2.x.
Every time it is attempted to update from the Android Market, it fails with
Code:
08-02 14:33:51.342: ERROR/PackageManager(481): Package com.google.android.apps.maps has no signatures that match those in shared user com.google.android.apps.maps; ignoring!
So, I've changed the android:sharedUserId from com.google.apps.maps to com.google.apps.maps.xoom so that it will install.
STEPS
First try The steps outlined in this post
If that doesn't work, download APK below
Place it on your device's internal or external storage
Navigate to the APK and install it
Warning, you will not be able to update Maps from market, simply check back here. I'll try and keep this updated as maps updates.

Thanks followed the steps to remove maps and reinstalled.
Worked no problem

I appreciate this - I tried to do what was in the post you linked to, and it wouldn't accept my google login for some reason. The apk you linked to in your post seems to have been successful, so thank you.

I had the same issue and posted it in the Tiamat thread along with a signed apk that installed Maps properly and allowed me to update. Did you happen to see my method

Nope! I don't think many people have the time or patience to sift through 200+ pages of posts, and it is difficult to search and find this sort of thing.
What happened to me was I deleted the APK from /system/app without uninstalling it, so modifying the APK was my only choice, and I knew that changing the sharedUserId would fix potential problems (though it introduces some also)
