[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] nastypup:
Here's a stupid question. Do I extract the zipped file before copying? There are other things in that file in addition to the calendar sync apk. It would be so nice if we had a ROM and could use Clockwork Mod. Then, I could flash the entire gapps zip.

Cyanogen Mod Beta 0, stock kernel, EI22. I like my Ice Cream Sandwich!
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
Try recopying the file over making sure it is not a 0kb size file permissions of rw-r--r--

---------- Post added at 09:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

Yes take the apk file from the zip file and copy it to system/app.

I am working on seeing if I get the boot loader unlocked so we can use a custom recovery then we can make custom rom's like CM7 or CM9 since the hardware could use it.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aloy99:
Rooting and installing market is all easy. Next comes recovery.

if you tap home and on button at the same time it boots into some odd mode, from where you can boot back into system by pressing power button.

Maybe, this could be recovery or fastboot mode....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
That i presume will be the recovery mode but only for updating your os manually nothing much.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aloy99:
Uhm when you boot into this mode the screen is black with the led green. Tap power button once you reboot back into system.

Could someone try plugging it into the computer while its in this mode thing and see if it's detected?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aloy99:
Uhm have any of,you guys received a system update on this device before? Where is the update downloaded to? And how does it install the update? Like other devices, through the stock recovery?
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
The downloaded software would be in your sdcard. And after u finish downloaded the ota, it will automatically install the update for you
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aloy99:
Perhaps we can hijack this system to load a custom rom ....but that largely depends on what kind of encryption it uses.....
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] hellodzulz:
About that, you should talk with andyav he knows abit of this things
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] :
I have spend many hours (days) on trying to get access into this thing with no success. If we can get to the boot loader maybe we can do what was done on the Sony X10 and load a custom rom on top. I will look into this but don't think it will work since we would still need adb access in order to load the files needed.

We need some better developers then me to look into this tablet to see if access is even possible.
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] aloy99:
We need the drivers, right?

Maybe a last resort would be to craft and build ths drivers from scratch.....

Just delete the spaces inbetween, as I post not enough i'm forbidden to post external links.

However, this link helped me to follow the instructions and now my 7e is rooted and has marketplace and I also solve the memory problem. Many thanks for that great help to make the 7e much more usable. I also should point out that I use the Strato branded 7e and change nothing on it, just install gingerbreak and then cope the apk's and thats it.

Still "insufficient memory" when downloading from Market

Hi there,

managed to root my Viewpad 7e using GingerBreak and installed GooglePlay.

But still have the problem not being able to download any app from the market. Always getting the "insufficient memory" error message.

Cleared the market´s cache - not change.

Any idea on that?

limited google play apps on viewpad 7e after doing all e steps recommended by charlie

Hi,

I have successfully installed the market, now its call google play ver 3.5.16. However compare to my motorola backflip which is running gingerbread 2.3.4 and viewpad 10s running on viewcomb 7.2, the google play store on my viewpad 7e only display very little apps, abt 20 each category while the list of apps on backflip's google play and viewpad 10s' s google play store are so many, almost non-exhausive. Can someone kindly enlighten or advise. Thank you in advance.

[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] KRisM79:
i know, it's an old thread, but maybe the following tipps are usefull to get clockworkmod installed on the viewpad 7e:

first look here, how to use adb with the 7e. i tried it and it worked...

at this site you can find the firmware-update. it is very easy to install via sd-card and it is also very easy to modify the firmware

before flashing it (for example: delete apps and add google market). here is a guide with video-tutorial (german) to modify the firmware-image and install google play store without root.

maybe with this informations and this guide, how to install clockworkmod on the viewpad 7, it will be easier to find a solution for the 7e!

it would be great to have recovery on 7e!!!

incidentally... is there any solution for the market at this time. it's really annoying that not even the superuser update can be made on the market, because the pad, according to the market, is supposedly not compatible.

Nevertheless, some remedy you can afford in which we change in the build.prob following values​​:
[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] KRisM79:
Full Market access

I modified my build.prob like you can see below. Now i have full market access with my 7e!

Only a few Apps remain to be incompatible.

Just replace this code with the one in your build.prob or search for the changes: :silly:

I know that this is an old thread but I was so elated when I found this site. This was because I tried the other solution I could find on the web called SuperOneClick which didn't work - it stopped running at "waiting for device".

However, my happiness was short-lived for the following reasons:

1. When I installed GingerBreak-v1.20.apk, my AVG anti-virus, though in "force stop" mode, tells me "Installed package: eu.chainfire.gingerbreak is infected". I ignored this message and installed it anyway.

2. When I installed Root Explorer v2.14.2.apk, it only asks me for permission to "Allow this application to: Storage - modify/delete SD card contents" and nothing else. I ticked this option and installed the program anyway.

3. I copied Vending.apk and went into "/system/app". On the top, the display says "171.00MB used, 26.00MB free, r/o, Mount R/W". I pressed on "Mount R/W" button. It showed orange while it was pressed. When I pressed "Paste" button below, "Warning - You cannot paste here because the file system is read-only.

So I got stuck at Step 3 above and could not proceed any further. Could anyone help me out, please? :crying:

The only way I'll give my evo up is if they get any kind of towers up in my area beside the junk 3g service i get now. I'm just glad I can get wifi, in just about every inch of my town that is unsecured.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
I'm keeping my EVO until i have the money to switch to AT&T for the Galaxy Nexus.
[EVO 4G General] tnerb123:
Sorry that you want to go to AT&T. Been there done that. And there is a reason why I am with Sprint now. :)

For the people waiting for the new phones, you wont get unlimited internet since you will have to change your plan.

And yes the EVO will get ICS. HTC may even release a version for it. They just have not committed to it yet. But don't get your hopes up.
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
I dunno what you experienced, but everyone around me in Dallas with AT&T is pulling 5mb+ on 3G. My buddy at A&M says he's pulled even faster speeds down there. Unlimited data doesn't mean squat at less than 150kbs.
[EVO 4G General] jae18708:
Nope. Ill probably downgrade to a 3g only phone or even VirginMobile. I use like 600MB per month cuz im always on a wifi.

[EVO 4G General] JaiCameron:
Don't really care much for ICS but I will be keeping my Evo until Sprint releases a decent WP7 LTE capable phone. (if ever)
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
Never happen.

CM9 or a good AOSP are our best bet. I've been giving the GS II 4G a long hard look, but a nice AOSP ICS build with 4G working would keep me happy for a while longer.

I'd dump Sense for ICS AOSP easy.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Hey, if ICS never get ported maybe we can hold out for Jelly Bean :) (j/k)
[EVO 4G General] Rieksfier:
My EVO does everything I need it to do and I don't see any compelling reason to upgrade until sprint flips on the LTE switch in my area and pushes out a decent ICS/LTE phone. Of course by the time that happens Google will be prepping Marshmallow for release... I'm on wifi 99% of the day, though I can appreciate peeps agrivation with Sprint that do rely on mobile data. I suspect my EVO 4G will die with only about 5 minutes of Wi-Max use to it's credit. That makes me :( face a little.
[EVO 4G General] stkiswr:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whitealien:
Hi guys,

I'm looking for some help. I'm trying to port Friend stream widget from Legend to Hero so far with moderate success. So I'm asking for help to those who have done this before or are good at smali editing.

I managed to debug all missing resources, so I can install it and widget works fine, but there is a glitch - fonts are black in widget. I discovered the reason for that. It turns out that framework have two type of layouts - one for app (com.htc.resources.hero\res\layout\htc_list_item_social_network.xml) and one for widget (com.htc.resources.hero\res\layout\htc_list_item_friendstream_widget.xml).

For some unknown reason to me framework always uses app layout. I guess it can not identify widget layout since it is not declared and is unknown to system, but it's just a guess.

Any help would be appreciated.

Download the one for CM7, then reboot to CWM, choose install zip from SD, go to your downloads folder and select to install it.

I hope they don't get rid of the green logo. its cool! Overall I think it is wise decision considering Sony with its potential should have been at least at par with other brands if not above. they make great phones. Delays and poor marketing are the only things that are holding them back.

Here in India, (where SE became no.2 for a brief period of time) nobody has heard of the phone Xperia arc. Whereas Galaxy phones hoardings and adverts are all over!

Now few patent licenses coming directly under their thumb may speed things up. Also we might see better integration of Sony's multimedia and gaming with the mobile business.
