[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeagleBoy:
That's my thought too. Regardless of whether honeycomb handles an sdcard, the kernel

ought

to be able to see the card. I'm assuming the driver currently isn't compiled in, since the kernel completely ignores the slot.

I haven't had time to build my own kernel yet, but that's one of the first things I want to try.

-Jim
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nindoja:
I checked out the kernel configuration and, from my recollection, it does build with support for SDHC out of the box. This leads me to believe that our firmware doesn't currently report the sd card hardware to the OS for it to even see.

You can confirm this by seeing that the internal storage is actually mounted using SDHC modules, although I don't remember exactly where to look.

Ok, I'm really sorry if this is so common knowledge that no one's asked it, but here goes: I heard that metro has recently "unlocked their 1x data" so the autoboot.sh trick is no longer necessary and everyone's all excited... but I recently fully flashed, live in a 3g coverage area, and am *only* getting 1x. Can anyone verify that 3g is possible on metro and point me to exactly what settings I need to be looking at to fix it? I've followed all the provisioning guides here in the forums to a 'T' but to no avail :(

What's this now? You can charge your phone from the Xoom????
[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
Well, without any hacks, I can plug a usb host cable in to the xoom, and then plug my standard USB cable in to the Host Cable and and the other side of the standard usb in to my phone. It then charges the phone. :)

Will also search for the hack bwcorvus refers to.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
Glad it works without root. The hack has been pushed into all rooted kernels, so if you download any kernels from the dev section your good.

Its the mount usb drives hack...thumb drives.

[Xoom General] madsquabbles:
nice tip if i ever find myself in a bind.
[Xoom General] eaglecomm:
Good point.. I should clarify 'without a hack'. I am likely mistaken as I probably am just too ignorant to know what 'hacks' are already built in to the system since I rooted and tiamat kerneled my wifi xoom last week. :D I just meant no 'additional' hacks today.

Plus my phone is rooted and has the phoenix rom. Sooo.. maybe they are already 'hacked'. So I don't yet know about a 'unrooted xoom' as mine is not.

UPDATE: From my personal perspective, my xoom already had Roebeet's hack. I verified by hoocking up a thumbdrive and the mount was already directed to the /usbdisk folder. What I realized I cannot yet do.. is to copy files from my phone's external sdcard.. to the xoom. Not that I would really need to... plus I could do it over BT if I really needed it.

[G Tablet General] Isira:
In addition to the standard Market Fix to get protected applications working (clearing cache/data), we also need to trick Google to think we have a Tegra 2 device.

We simply need to change the following line in /system/build.prop

ro.product.device=olympus

This tells Google Market we are using a Motorola Atrix 4G and will give us the missing Tegra 2 apps when applying our market fix.

However, since we are mimicking a phone, Tablet specific apps will not show up (NYTimes app for Tablets is an example)

Cheers!

Edit:

It is well known that the Google Web Market is hit and miss on our GTablets. This thread indicates it may take a few days for our tablet's to show up on the web interface. However, what this fix does is allow you to download most of the Froyo + Tegra2 apps via the Market Application within our tablets. There will be applications that will refuse to install through the web market interface (if your tablet can actually show up on the darn thing) because of missing capabilities, but will install just fine via the Market app.

If you want to install apps using a web browser from your Desktop computer, I recommend the use of Appbrain to generate your list of desired apps and then syncing your list on the tablet to install.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

SUPER!!

This build.prop change, just by itself, on stock 3588, allows me to see a bunch of apps I haven't been able to see before, including Firefox, Flash, Tank Hero, etc. Didn't have to do anything else, no fingerprint changes, etc.

Thanks!

Jim
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
AWESOME! The only thing I can't find is message ease which is no great loss and I'm not seeing it on the web either -- I think they are pulling it on and off the market. But YES -- Laucher Pro, Saumari, Silver Creek games, Flash 10.2, tv.com, both opera browsers, dolphin HD -- all there. FANTASTIC. THANK YOU!

Even Vlingo shows up which was never found before. Truth is I don't even want it but it was one of my indicators.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Are you looking for MessagEase?

[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Whoops! Helps if you spell it right. I always think that should be a faster keyboard but then I give up and go back to BetterKeyboard or the word predicting one which is great until you need to do Linux command lines and such.

Sorry for the confusion. I even found Astro Bluetooth Module another I used to have to switch for. Very cool.
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Hmmm... the market.android.com site no longer shows my device since I made the above fix! It only shows my older device. I tried just clearing the market cache and rerunning but no go. I am now running the regular market fix (clear cache in market, stop, clear data in service framework, stop, reboot).

I did install things off the market, but it had to be from the device.

Ok tablet is booted back up.... drum roll....

Nope. And now I am -- for now -- only showing my paid apps off the market, none of the freebies I had previously installed.

UPDATE: I killed the market data and cache along with the service framework data and rebooted. This made no difference to the web site (unless it takes time for it to catch up) but it did -- after installing something else -- restore my existing apps. On the other hand, having the market working on the device beats the web site, but it still means something is "off".
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
How do we request this be made a sticky?

I know I've tried just about every market tweak for the last 3+ months and this is the only 1 that made a huge diff.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Hachi2Go:
I haven't tried this fix (heck I don't even know how to apply it, someone mind helping a noob out?) but I had the same problem you did where the web market doesn't show your device. I tried spamming the regular market fix and still no good.

However I logged back into the web store today and it showed my device, weird.

Not sure how to fix it but yesterday I changed my password so I was forced to sign in again. Of course that didn't work at the moment but I guess it worked since I can now see my device now.

Hope this helped.:confused:
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Yeah I tried logging out of the web site and back in. I've tried forcing a google account sync. And I've tried making sure Talk is running (apparently the website uses talk to send things to your device.).

Just for fun I put my ro.product.name/device/board back to Vega and with no reboot or anything the web site immediately found the device.... curious....

Well now that I'm back on the web site, my market is back to how it was even after I put the olympus line in. Getting too late. Will look at it tomorrow :-(
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
I did the change by:

- get temp root via z4root

- make /system R/W via root explorer

- start a terminal

- cd /system

- Edit build.prop: busybox vi build.prop

- did regular market fix

- reboot

Jim
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
You're right that having market work on the device beats the website! The web market issues may be a whole separate battle.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Hachi2Go:
I'm quite new to the Android OS so I'm not really sure how to do this. :confused:

I installed z4root and got temp root. I'm not sure if I needed it as I read somewhere that Vegan 5.1.1 (which I am using) gives me root already.

But I installed it and ran it anyways.

I'm stuck on giving my /system read and write permissions. Is this 'root explorer' app needed? Or can I use my 'iFileExplorer' app to do so, if so how? (It came with the vegan ROM)
[G Tablet General] filterking:
Not sure if you meant to type ifileManger, but it will not get you write permissions. Root explorer will allow you to write. It looks as though you may have to

open a terminal up as discussed above, to change the build prop.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Hi,

If you don't have root explorer, there's a free app on market called something like "system mount r/w" that is free that will mount /system as r/w for you. Or, I think that you can do it using a terminal and a mount command (something like mount -remount....).

Normal file explorers won't do the remount.

Jim
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
mount -o remount,rw /system /system

Watch out for the spaces and you need to be root so do an su command first.

When done, repear the mount command but use ro instead of rw. You can do this with a terminal program or the adb.
[G Tablet General] theroblog.com:
Root Explorer is what, $3.99? Worth it for the time savings. I bought the Ti Pro too. $300+ on a tablet...spend $9 on some software to make life easier.

[G Tablet General] gunajay:
iam a noob. i have stock rom 3588. how do i get market working?
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
wd5gnr,

I don't know how "unusual" it is, but on my Gtab, where I had 3452 for awhile, then now 3588, I've always noted that I don't have a "cp" command, so I have to use "busybox cp".

Just FYI, in case anyone encounters this when they try your instructions.

Jim
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Based on this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941205 ), it seems it may take a few days for the tablets to register on the market.

I have 3 tablets and I'm trying to change the identifier for each tablet through the ro.product.model and seeing if each of the tablets will show up on the market. So far, only one tablet is showing on the web market, but it's still using the old ro.product.model identifier (GTablet-TnT-Lite).

However, the web market is still pretty wonky. Certain apps may refuse to install through the web market because of missing capabilities on our tablets, but will install just fine through the market app.
[G Tablet General] tedlogan42:
Another good tool for this task is Absolute Root tools. It has a build.prop editor built in (in addition to a root file manager, a boot animator changer, etc). It's not free, but it's been a good app for me.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Agreed. Open Root Explorer, long hold build.prop and open in text editor, edit!
[G Tablet General] Scott21:
Wow! This totally fixed the market for me. Thanks OP. Sticky material for sure.

I can see Samurai II and Launcher Pro at the same time - a first!

Not sure about web market issues but to be honest that is not my primary concern... having this work makes things so much easier.
[G Tablet General] dlaciv12:
So to be clear...?

We edit build.prop and reboot - no need to go through the "market fix" again?

We get tegra 2 apps on gtab market but we will basically have no access to the web market on ANY of our devices?

How many apps are we talking about here?

The web market is nice but I don't mind breaking it if I am getting a ton of great stuff. I did just notice a new "Featured Tablet Apps" tab on the web market. Does anyone know if those are "Tablet" or these "Tegra 2" apps?
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Yes, just edit and reboot and the apps should show up.

The web market does seem to work for me, however I have 3 tablets and my observation is only one tablet at a time is registered with the market. I'm waiting for a few days to see if all 3 will eventually show up registered on the market though as prior threads seem to indicate this time length.

It seems we will get most of the Froyo 2.2 apps that will work on a Tegra2 phone. The market fix here is that we're telling Google our hardware is a Motorola Atrix 4G. As the Tegra2 Tablets start rolling out this year, a future market fix could be to mimic a Tegra2 tablet rather than a phone if necessary.

The Featured Tablet Apps looks like just apps that run well on Tablets, however they may have other restrictions such as Android 3.0 requirements (as is the case for USA Today for Tablets).
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
Well, I left my desk for a few hours and on my return the Android market website now sees my device. Hmm... So it must take a while for it to figure it out.

I did the market fix after I changed the string but will make note that it may not be necessary.
[G Tablet General] dlaciv12:
So the web market shows your original device (your phone) and your hacked gtablet as a second device?
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Yes, 10char
[G Tablet General] wd5gnr:
In my case I have another tablet unrelated to this one (Flytouch2 -- some nice features I miss but not as nice as the gTablet) and I see it. I do NOT see the "unhacked" tablet at all.
[G Tablet General] jimcpl:
Just out of curiousity, how the **** did you figure this out?

Jim
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Well after some searching on market fixes, I found a post where some phone had changed a series of strings to "passion" to match the Nexus One. I was going to start changing the strings to match my Epic 4G, but that post saved me a lot of time. Anyways, this change led to the ability to show all apps except Tegra 2 apps. So I looked for the Atrix 4G build.prop and changed it to olympus and here we are now :)

Not bad for a guy who's only had this tablet since Thursday haha.
[G Tablet General] jpotter0:
When I tried to edit build.prop using the ES editor I couldn't save the modified result. Then it looked like it saved but when I reopened the file it was unchanged.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
You need root explorer to do this.
[G Tablet General] Hachi2Go:
Woah it works! Thanks so much!:D

Greetings,

Glad I found this community. Got my gTab a couple of days ago. Rooted, flashed Vegan and applied the market fix to get everything working. All is great with one exception. I cannot get titanium backup to work because it does not see my device as rooted (I know it is!). Tried all the suggested fixes (install/update busybox and superuser), but still no dice. Is there a known fix to this issue? Or are there any backup alternatives to titanium that are not as finicky?

Thank you in advance.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Run the Superuser app and make sure you didn't accidentally forbid superuser permissions for the app.
[G Tablet General] weaselman:
Thank you, Thank you. Paid the 3.99 to download root manager. Worth every penny. Followed the easy fix and now I am seeing tons of apps that I didn't see before. Thanks for your hard work.

I'm still at a loss here. I downloaded and installed the latest version of superuser from the market. When I open it, there is an Apps column (which is empty and states "No apps in list"). There is also a Log (empty), and there are Settings (I assume set to defaults). Can someone please explain to me what I need to do here for Titanium to have root access? Do I need to add it to the Apps list? If so, how do I do that? Sorry about the noob questions, and thank you in advance.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
When you run an app that requires superuser privileges for the first time, the superuser app will ask you if you want the app to gain have su access.

[G Tablet General] :
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! It fixed all of my market problems.
[G Tablet General] Flaco05:
Still no luck. I uninstalled Titanium and then downloaded it and installed again (after a reboot). I open it and it tries to acquire root privileges and fails (superuser does not prompt me to grant the privileges). So I click on the problems tab, and it asks me to download busybox, which I do (I also tried downloading it from the market directly). After doing this, the problem persists (Titanium does not see the root).

:confused:
[G Tablet General] jcflman:
Man, you're awesome. Worked for me.

See Samurai 2, Firefox, Flash 10.2...
[G Tablet General] Isira:
Download ConnectBot and ssh into your tablet (Select local in the ssh/telnet/local) options. Then try the "su" command. Superuser should prompt you to elevate privileges. If it does not, then I would think your Tablet is not properly rooted and you should try to flash your ROM again.

Also, there is another backup utility called MyBackup Root which you can try.
[G Tablet General] bso44:

[G Tablet General] Amdusias440:
If I want the tablet apps on my G-tablet, like USA Today Tablet version will I need to change the string to whatever is in the Xoom?
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Some tablet apps, like USA Today, will only work on Honeycomb, so it's trial and error figuring out which work and which will force close.

But yes, if the market identifies your gTab as a Xoom, you will see tablet and Tegra apps.

Edit: Pulse looks great on the gTab.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
The USA Today Tablet app is a Honeycomb (Android 3.0) app; it wouldn't work unless you're running Android 3.0 (which is why it crashes on any other OS version since it's using honeycomb specific libraries/APIs), so it is NOT a good market benchmark.

The NYTimes app for tablet however would be a good Market benchmark app. Since we are emulating a Tegra2 Phone with this fix, this app (and any other tablet specific apps, but I'm not aware of any others) does not appear in this market fix.

As Tegra 2 tablets continue to roll out this year, we should be able to find a better identifier, but for the time being, I find "olympus" to give us the greatest range of apps.

You have to remember, apps on the Market can be restricted to those with a specific

1. Carrier

2. Hardware

3. Operating System/ROM

The quest for 100% market continues :D
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
The build.prop in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021117 gave me all Tegra and tablet apps, and allowed me to install from the web market within a couple of hours of changing the file. Still certain apps in the web market that have the gTab (or Xoom rather) grayed out, so it's not 100%.
[G Tablet General] bso44:
Don't know if it was mentioned but one thing that might be messing people up is putting a period after "olympus"

Not sure if it matters but I don't believe there should be a period.
[G Tablet General] tposey:
so to edit to 'Olympus', we need root manager or root explorer? then that is the fix for the market? Or am I just getting part of the step right.
[G Tablet General] Isira:
There are many ways to do edit the file, Root Explorer being the easiest IMO as it has a built in editor. After editing, reboot. You may need to do the standard Market fix (clear market cache, clear google services data) if you haven't already.
[G Tablet General] tposey:

[G Tablet General] Flaco05:
Problem solved. Thank you so much. Apparently I was not rooted properly. Downloaded and ran z4root and that did the trick. One more quick question, if I may. I created a temp root to be able to install Titanium. Would it be better to just make the root permanent? Thanks again!
