[General Questions and Answers] thefinn93:
So I have a Skytex Primer Pocket, little 4.3" thing running Android 2.2. No market, no official Google apps, and, above all, no mention of it anywhere except for brief reviews. So I'm looking into rooting it, or just getting the Market onto it (and maybe the Gmail app). It comes with GetJar, which, as I've just learned, is a ****ty alternative app store full of spam and ads. I'm also learning that if you wanna have a half way decent experience you NEED the Market, which this doesn't have. I've had very little experience with Android (never owned an Android device before this), so please bear with me if I say or said something stupid. What would yall smart people suggest?
[General Questions and Answers] thefinn93:
oops! sorry
[General Questions and Answers] cheesycook:
I just got a pocket primer for my three year old to play with (navigates my EVO 4G better than my wife). In it's stock form he can play videos and basic angry birds but even he will get frustrated if I can't get the same apps on that thing as the rest of his family has,......and he beats me.
[General Questions and Answers] thefinn93:
haha wow i'd given up on this thread. I've actually pretty much given up on my device entirely and use it almost exclusively as an mp3 player. The browser doesn't open anymore (it displays a message stating that it crashed whenever I open it), the wifi doesn't turn on and it's just a ****ing piece of ****.
[General Questions and Answers] warneso:
The problems you are having can most likely be resolved by hitting the reset button, as I have had to do once or twice. Also, if you wanted it to have all the things you mentioned, why did you buy this device? The ad states pretty clearly that the apps market that this device uses is Getjar. And, once again, you get what you pay for. BTW, there are many apps on the Amazon Apps Market that work just fine.
[General Questions and Answers] kairnage:
You can also download 1 Mobile Market as a good alternative, much better than Getjar...
[General Questions and Answers] thefinn93:
Yeah I had mine given to me and wasn't really sure what to expect, but wasn't terribly impressed. It makes an OK media player. And yes, I ended up resetting it and getting the browser back.

As for 1 Mobile Market, good to know, will try it. Thanks. For everyone who has it: is it "pre rooted"? like, when you connect with ADB do you get a root shell, or do i have a weird one?
[General Questions and Answers] TruthAEE:
hmmm I wonder if SlideMe market would work as well, I think all skytex devices come with root already its one of there monkiers, I just wish the dev community would pick a couple up and throw ROM's at em cheap devices that work well as gifts but have crappy stock roms

right now my daughter is using one as mp3 player and using amazon market on it but she calls me everyday and I have to tell her reset, Im just going to start answering the phone, "reset it"
[General Questions and Answers] brokenAndroid93:
I have tried myself with the Gapps and i managed to install them by installing the market vending. Youtube doesnt work, and by that I mean that the video doesnt play. Which I cant understand because mobile youtube can play just fine. Plus from what I can remember it disables its own lockscreen and the home button ceases to work and a factory reset is the only answer. Defiantly a unique situation and ridiculous as well. How does all that happen from just installing the market? A clusterf**k of BS is all I can say about it. These low grade tablets are mostly hopeless to get properly suited with G apps so Im at a loss for anything else to do.

Now this is a handy wee app!

Check this out. Before installing this app get your hands on taskxp from the market (don't set it as your default launcher make your default what is already was). Reboot your device then click taskxp to check what apps have started (a lot!), also see the amount off free ram you have. But the app below actually works :)

Download the app from the link below. Disable user apps, and whatever system apps are starting (compare/check with taskxp). Reboot then check what apps have started, nice eh?

It took me just a couple of reboots to get it set up nice.

Note, stay away from installed apps all that does is uninstall.

Hi everybody,

I just rooted my xoom and installed the Tiamat rom, every time while booting up and the motorola dual core logo fades out the logo collapses. Actually its not a problem, my xoom working fine anyway, im just interested if it is a known bug or what.

Thank you

Ps.: I also have a Motorola Defy, i use the same gmail account on them and if i get an email it arrives to defy faster and the gmail client on xoom freeze.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StrifeSoldierVII:
The boot logo issue is and has been a known bug for awhile now. It's not anything from Tiamat. It's said to be from Nvidia making some certain changes. It's nothing to worry about. It affects the system in no way, shape, or form. Just a minor graphical glitch.

I wouldn't know why the Gmail app on the Xoom would freeze. I've had the Xoom since it launched and I have never experienced that issue before. Try reinstalling the app.

[Wildfire General] biteyou:
I've installed the revolutionary for the S-off, rooted and have a Nandroid backup thanks to the excellent guide:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1029318

Since somebody said the RUU rom is somehow different from the stock rom, so if I flashed a custom rom, the only way for me to get into the stock rom is flashing the backup in Nandroid.

After that, I can flash the fastboot into S-on Hboot 1.01.0001 thanks to this guide:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1160251.

But it is still not the stock Hboot 1.01.0002(only flashing RUU can do so). Does any method allows me to flash the Hboot into 1.01.0002 version and also unroot the rooted-Nandroid-backup, so my phone can be completely restored? Thank you so much!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
An RUU is necessary to remove the Clockworkmod Recovery (Custom Recovery which allows you to flash stuff). That is the only reason why an RUU is needed to back to a completely stock state.

You can replace the HBoot file in that 2nd guide using any HBoot. So, you can extract 1.01.0002 from a RUU/OTA you know carries it, and replace the file accordingly.

Replacing the Stock Recovery should be possible without an RUU - BUT, it will need someone to extract and verify it. Till that process is done, I guess its the only way to completely get back to Stock.
[Wildfire General] biteyou:
Or are there any method to upgrade the Hboot 1.01.0001 into 1.01.0002 by extract the boot.img from the RUU?
[Wildfire General] biteyou:
Oh...I forget the most important part (remove CWM:o), thank so much!!
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Here's what I propose:

- Restore your Nandroid Backup of your Stock ROM. This will give you the Stock ROM.

- Extract the Recovery.img from an RUU. Flash this using flash_image or Fastboot. This will remove the Clockworkmod Recovery and get back the Stock Recovery

- Extract the HBoot 1.01.0002 .nb0 file from an RUU/OTA, and flash using the guide above. This will remove the AlphaRev HBoot and replace it with stock.

These 3 steps should help you get back to a completely stock system. WITHOUT touching an RUU.
[Wildfire General] biteyou:
Thx!

But the Nandroid backup require root permission, will the rooting permission be still exist after getting back to the stock ROM? how can I Unroot it?
[Wildfire General] 3xeno:
Yes which is why in the 3 steps I posted, Nandroid Backup comes first. So once you restore that, then you have the stock ROM, But, you have Clockworkmod and Revolutionary HBoot.

To remove Clockworkmod, and get back the Stock Recovery, Extract the Stock Recovery.img from an RUU and follow this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=974590

Now, you have your Stock ROM and a Stock Recovery, You just have to remove the Custom Revolutionary HBoot. Again, extract the HBoot 1.01.0002 .nb0 file from an RUU, and follow the same guide you already linked, to get back to S-ON.

Thus, you can revert back to Stock completely without running an RUU and losing your data,
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Nandroid backup and nandroid restore will not require root permissions.

And your question depends on whether (or not) you have rooted and then made nandroid backup.

And if you have to unroot it, do it before flashing hboot. Because once s-on is made, it is bit difficult (nearly impossible on hboot 1.0x with stock recovery) to unroot. Use super one click or gingerbreak.apk to unroot .

[In short, unroot = removing su binary from /system/bin (or) /system/xbin ]
