[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Are you using cyanogen hboot?

If yes, try s2ext or simple2ext from market.

If no, try opening gtalk-app,go off- and back online.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScRiVs:
How do i know if im using cyanogen hboot? (im a complete newbie to this :rolleyes:)

G-talk didn't work either...ALSO what confuses me most is the fact that I just download an app off android market called "Fruit slice" and it downloaded and installed as normal but angry birds does not :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
If you dont know what it is you're probably not using it.

Do you have sufficient space? Angry Birds is a pretty big app (~15 mb I think). Go to Settings->storage (or similar, I'm not using CM) and check your free internal storage.

What do you mean "G-Talk didnt work either"?

Also you can boot into recovery and wipe "cache" partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScRiVs:
Yes have plenty of space 100MB+ internal and over 400mb a2sd...what's weird also is the fact that I downloaded angry birds through 4shared and tried installing via astro and it didn't install? very weird.

Just cleared cache partion and its still the same :confused: :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
indeed... :confused:

Sry, I couldnt help you. :/

Maybe someone else has a clue.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] divnaken:
I had this problem the first time I installed CyanogenMod. I then created an ext3 partitition after the fat32 partition on the sd card. After flashing CyanogenMod again I downloaded S2E from the market, ran it and pointed everything to the sd card ext3 partition. After rebooting it larger apps would install ok from the market
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolorkode:
Had the same issue, if you check you /cache partition you'll no doubt see you have less free space than the size of the application you are trying to download.

I backed up my SD card, used Rom Manager to partition (512 ext, 0 swap), installed s2e from the market, selected all but private apps, and rebooted.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aswinarun:
Sometimes the application might require more space for download & install. I doubt it would be either ur cache or app cache creating a issue. If you have Titanium backup of apps, try running that. I installed it several times from back up..it worked for me..

May be this might help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tillus:
Thats why my first question was whether he is using CM hboot or not. And because he isn't, I doubt the problem is the cache partion. With Stock Table cache partition is 40mb which is more than enough for Angry Birds - he even wiped the partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kolorkode:
I had stock hboot yet cache only had 4mb free.

Hi,

I'm a new gtab owner. I installed vegan rom on it and it's great.

I am having a problem with a game though. Backbreaker works and plays but I can't show off the tetra power cause it is all greyish

Anyone have any ideas? Thx
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phydo:
I'm sorry in advance. I know this is probably on here, but i searched even with Google and could only find other phone models. I have a cm7 r34 (though it happened on r32 also) incredible with an 1800 mah battery. It works great except every once in a while the battery will drop 1% a minute, literally, which is unacceptable. Sometimes reflashing the kernel works to stop it.

I'm new to the incredible from an eris, and I'm trying to get the hang of tweaking this. Is there a better kernel i could use? Should i stick with nosbc? Im really stumped by how it randomly does this and then i have to reflash a kernel. Thanks y'all

where would i get a termal emulator to do this on? I honestly only have experiance flashing on my pre 2.2 phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Terminal emulator is free on market or you can use either

Root explorer ( best but not free)

Super manager ( free, not as good, have to enable root privileges in settings)

Android mate, same as super manager
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Day Of Shadows:
sorry for being such a noob at this. where do i type in

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You are better off using a file program like the three I mentioned
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Day Of Shadows:
i got one, but, i dont know where to put the new file/ if to rename it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
3)Use a file manager like Root Explorer and copy the recovery file to /system/bin and replace the one there 4)Now, reboot and you should have a modded 3e recovery with no signature verification

Which file program do you have?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Day Of Shadows:
super manager, and i cant find which file to replace.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
make sure you enabled root.

Menu/set up

Then in file explorer the top folder says something like backup directory, click twice, scroll to system, then bin, the file to replace should be there

[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
I'm looking for an app that can read my epub books aloud.

I've tried this one ( https://market.android.com/details?id=v00032.com.wordplayer&feature=search_result ) but the voice is just plain text to speech; the voice is downright awful. Not only that, but there's no pause, and it only starts at the beginning of a chapter.

I know Moon+ also does it, but it's $5. Has anyone used the text to speech on it and can comment on how well it works? I'd love to hear how it sounds, but I haven't found any videos on YouTube etc of this feature being used. If the voice is just as bad as WordPlayer, I'd rather not waste the $5. And 15 minutes seems too hasty to test this out.

Is there any other way to have epub books read aloud via some Android app?
[Android Apps and Games] patass:
if yuor talking about that female sounding death voice then it's android itself that does it. I dunno if theres a way to change it.
[Android Apps and Games] Paul22000:
LOL!!!! :D:D Yeah that one

Anyone have any more input?
[Android Apps and Games] damngood98:

Aye, just found the "SVOX" ones. But very very expensive.... :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] cobraplayer:
Yes, SVOX Classic. Each language pack costs $3

But still you will not get a feel of audio books. The book reading app needs to incorporate some intelligence.

Currently running Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.4 and looking to replace the flip clock included in the ROM to Lou's Desire HD based transparent flip clock from Redemptive rEVOlution 2.3

Any links for the apk?

Also, I'm hoping it would install based on chingy's instructions in QA (pasted here) with the exception of using lou's flip clock apk in step 3:

"So why is there two clocks in your app drawer?

Because i have decided to set the vanilla lockscreen by default the DeskClock is necessary for your alarm to work. If you try to set the HTC alarm clock (while using the vanilla lockscreen), when it goes off you will not be able to turn it off and you will have to pull your battery. If you absoutely have to use the HTc lockscreen or HTC clock heres what you can do...

1. Navigate to system/app and rename the HtcLockscreen.bak to HtcLockscreen.apk

2. Delete the DeskClock.apk

3. Download the remapped (to the Htc Clock) HtcClockWidget.apk from the 2nd post and FLASH it."​

TIA - this flashing ROM stuff is addictive
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Just alittle warning you if you find the clock it needs to be switched from deodex to odex or it will break the optimization s chingy made
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidjunkie69:
Thanks for the tip, didn't think about that.

It couldn't be as easy as copying the apk from Lou's ROM, would it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
You could get it to work but it would mess up things..... I tell you what if you get it post it and give me a link and ill make it work for you
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidjunkie69:
I think the only thing I can get is the .apk file from the zipped ROM file, will that work?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Newt:
Yea upload it to like dropbox or something and give me a link to it and ill make it for you today sometime.....if you don't have a dropbox account click on the link in my sign and it'll walk you through it

Anyone know of a note-taking app that can link audio recordings with notes written like shown here (skip to 4:30)? This would be great for the EVO, because the screen is big enough to scribble one word down, allowing you to index your notes.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I applied this to Calkulin's ROM, and it does indeed show the tablet apps (Tegra apps, CNN for Android, NYT ...). For some reason the USA Today app doesn't show. I actually downloaded Google Body, but it just force close, though I didn't really expect it to work. CNN app also force closes.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
i used this, forced the stop, cleared cache and everything but still cant see launcher pro or anything.

am i missing something?
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I don't see LP either, just the unlocker. If you're looking to install it, have you tried navigating to http://www.launcherpro.com/ from your gTab and downloading the apk from there (there is a link in the latest blog post)?

My method may have been overkill, but I basically followed one of the other market fix posts after pushing the build.prop:

Force Stopped market, cleared cache and data

Force Stopped Google Services Framework, cleared cache and data

Wiped data for Google Services Framework in TB

Tried to open Market to verify the error, and then rebooted

After that I was able to see the tablet apps.

Edit: Took about 2 hours, but now the web market shows my gTab as a Xoom, and I'm able to select apps that I couldn't before.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I don't know if my experience is the norm but I already saw those apps and have been playing Samurai II for over a month now running VEGAn 5.1 with the 5.1.1 supplemental and I didn't have to do anything at all to see them in the Market.
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
I've got Launcher Pro, i just thought that was the test as to whether I had full market access. The web market shows my device as a Xoom though, so am I good to go?
[G Tablet General] DroidHam:
what "tablet apps"? Is it a seperate category or what
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
If you go to the Android web market, you'll see a section for "Featured Tablet Apps" -- if you made the change in this thread, you should now see your tablet listed as a Xoom when you choose to install something, so you can now install those apps. It appears most of the "tablet apps" just utilize the increased screen real estate (like the NYT app, though as the OP said, I don't see much difference), but some are built just for Honeycomb (like Google Body), and those won't run.
[G Tablet General] donatom3:
There are APIs that are only available in Honeycomb so those Apps probably won't have the extra columns on Froyo.
[G Tablet General] theroblog.com:
The Tina Fey article today had bigger and more graphics. Might as well keep the tab version so I deleted the phone version.
[G Tablet General] BoulderGeek:
I got the NYT tablet app, so I guess this is working for me.

I don't have the Tablets section in the market, however. <shrug>
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Launcher Pro actually doesn't show up in the Market on a real Xoom. So, you seem to gain AND lose at the same time. Just something to keep in mind.
[G Tablet General] Citi:

[G Tablet General] biggggant:
I can get the Tegra apps but I can't see the USA Today or NY Times..I'm using caulkins rom..I made build.prop changes olympus and that long string
[G Tablet General] ykhehra1:
featured tablet apps are merged with other apps. Only app I found with this setting is CNN for tablet, but with it I lost lot of other tablet apps which I can download with my original phone setting like open table, sony pictures etc.

So after discontinuing tablet section on market, i think you can install these apps on any tablet depending on screen resolution and region and rom.
[G Tablet General] hamzer11:
Can someone share how to make the changes? PC via usb, app, or some other way. Sorry, learning as fast as I can.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
There is likely a tutorial in the forums on how to use adb, a lot better than I could likely type up, so read up on that. Once you're able to connect to your tab via adb, here's what you do:

In the command window, type:

adb pull system/build.prop

That will bring the file over to your PC. BE SURE to make a copy of that file! Open it in Notepad and then delete all of the text and then paste the text from the first post of this thread. Save.

Go back to your command window, and type:

adb shell

At the # prompt, type:

mount -o remount,rw /system /system

That will allow you to push the file back into the system folder by changing permissions to read/write.

Type Exit and hit Enter to get back to your command window. Then push the file:

adb push build.prop /system

It should give you a file size and execution time if it was successful. Then in the command window type:

adb shell

You need to set permissions back to read-only. At the # prompt, type:

mount -o remount,ro /system /system

Hope that helps. It looks too easy, but really ... it is too easy :) I am doing this from memory (except the mount stuff, had to copy and paste that), so if anyone can chime in with an easier method, feel free!
[G Tablet General] BoulderGeek:
I used Root Explorer to do mine.

However, most of my changes have been made by mounting the GTablet as a USB device on a Linux box. Then, as local root on the linux machine, you can modify files on the Gtablet.

Cheaper solution than buying programs, and apparently easier than configuring and using ADB if you aren't a developer.

Just my two cents.
[G Tablet General] ykhehra1:
Root Explorer is easiest
[G Tablet General] IndyLateNite:
I'd have to agree that Root Explorer is easier. Just remember to make a backup copy of the original file and keep it handy just in case!
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
If you are using adb, issue the adb remount command which flips thr ro/rw state of /system. You need to be in the local Shell not the remote one. The mount command works, of course, but you have to open the shell and more to type and remember.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Thanks! Always hated that extra hassle, but my knowledge only allowed me to follow whatever directions I'd cobbled together.

And Root Explorer may be best for some, but I find the adb method easier for me. I just open up Terminal, which defaults to the folder where I have the SDK tools, plug in my tab, and I get to do everything with a real keyboard and a big screen :)
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
If memory serves, you can make single adb commands into one line too. For example

adb shell chmod 775 blah blah blah
[G Tablet General] DiGiTY:
I've tried this market fix and even though my G Tablet now shows up as Motorola XOOM and I can see HD/tablet apps I still can't see all apps in the market (i.e., Facebook, last.fm, IMDb, etc.).

Any ideas?
[G Tablet General] slsmag:
To get to other apps you can change the build.prop device=xxxx to sholes (orig droid) or another device name.

Make the change in the build.prop file

Go to settings, applications, manage applications, forceclose Market and clear it's cache (not data), then do the same for google.framework (forceclose, clear chache).

Visit the market. Sometimes I got the error, sometimes I didin't - it didn't seem to matter, as when I rebooted, waited a bit and went back to the Market, different apps would show up, based on the device=xxxxx line in build.prop.

It's fast to switch devices and you won't lose any of your previously installed apps.

This is all based on my own experience. Proceed at your own risk! If someone thinks this is nuts - or has had a different experience, please add your two cents here.

- michael
[G Tablet General] DiGiTY:
HA! SOLVED (FINALLY!)!!

Apparently the 17 times I did the clear cache/data fix was wrong. I underestimated the importance of NOT clearing the data for the Market. That was the culprit. Embarrassing.

All works now. Except it appears I can download Android 3.0 ONLY apps but can't run them and the fact developers can hide pre-3.0 apps from you if they have a 3.0 equivalent available (for example, NitroDesk's Touchdown for Tablets and Exchange for Android 2.x).
