[Viewsonic ViewPad 7 & Variants] GuestK0044:
I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS, TRY AT YOUR OWN RISK

This is not all my work but wanted to post my dealing with the Viewpad 7e as most of this forum is for the Viewpad 7

This all worked perfectly on my Viewpad 7e with one small issue when copying the 3 .apk files to the /system/app folder, make sure they are not a 0kb size. If they are just recopy them over and overwrite the files and it should copy correctly with a valid size.

The market wont have allot of apps since the device doesn't support the market natively, so I did a few tricks to get most of my apps on to the Viewpad 7e. You will need to have access to a second Android devices to do the following.

1) Install File Expert (free in the market) on your second Android device

2) Open File Expert and go to My Apps and select the apps you want to install on your Viewpad 7e, then click Backup on the bottom menu. This will creat the .apk files to install on your Viewpad 7e and put them on your SD card.

3) Copy the .apk files from SD card to your Viewpad 7e

4) Open a file manager on your Viewpad 7e and install your apps.

Most apps will work ok but some will bug out and you might be forced to reboot the viewpad 7e (press and hold the power button until it powers off)

If you use Titanium Backups it will install and allow you to restore apps and data, but be warred this will not work 100% so only use it to restore the data not the apps.

Note: If your app was installed on your SD card when your backup was done when you restore the data it will make the app unlaunchable. This should be fine if you move the app to SD card before restoring the data.

Here is a list of my working apps on my Viewpad 7e

I will add more apps to the list as I test them.

Update 1:

I upgraded the firmware manually since when I tried OTA it wouldn't find my wireless connection (even thou it was connected and surfing).

After doing the above I needed to reroot the device and copy the files for the market again. Now I have the newer FW with root and Market again!

Update 2:

I changed 2 lines in my build.prop and was able to get order and chaos to run. This might get some other apps to work as well

!!!Make sure you back up your build.prop before changing it!!!

ro.product.model=Nexus S

ro.product.manufacturer=Samsung

Update 3:

I have been able to get the following working

News and Weather

Google Search

Calendar and Contact sync

by copying the the following files to system/apps using root explorer

GenieWidget.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk
