marketing works... I think

I just got the market to work!

I updated google maps from the market, installed Robo Defense free, and AppBrain App Market app.

I'm rebooting to see if it is an actual fix or just a one time thing. I'll post instructions if I can download from the market again after the reboot.

I used part of the info here: http://www.smartqmid.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=1731&hilit=market&start=20

Summary:

Install new market: Vendor 1713: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AXW5H6AD

Clear dalvik-cache:

adb shell

cd /data/dalvik-cache

rm *

After reboot I accepted market license and downloaded the 3 items above... but after a reboot it isn't downloading anymore.

I just tried the AnroidID change with this update and it is working again. I'm rebooting again to see if it works after a reboot.

Maybe the two together make it work! I'll post again soon.

Still working after the reboot!! (new market, clear dalvik-cache, and androidId from emulator).

I'll post if it stops working.

Can someone else confirm this works for them?

I actually got this hack from decadence and changed it for tablet

open up command prompt and type

adb remount
adb pull system/usr/keylayout/telechips_keypad.kl

you'll notice that search, home and so fourth are in there next to an assigned key number. Change them how you wish make sure you make make a backup and then adb push it back to /system/usr/keylayout and reboot. There is a link to decadences original post in my signature there will be a full write up in the augen wiki

You poor poor soul

ON another note just wanted to add that if you are having problems with sound then install music.apk from another rom ( i used the one from darchdroid2.7)and reboot and you'll be good.

adb install -r Music.apk

also included a videoplayer and vending

Still working for me after multiple reboots. Many pre-installed apps updated.. I seem to be able to install any app from the market. The only app I'm having trouble with is the new Google Maps update. It downloads but doesn't want to install.

Based on your comment:

I want to confirm that you installed the Vendor.apk not just pushed it to your system or data. I pushed it to my SDCard and then installed it. You should get a new terms of service agreement after installation.

is there any way to compile java on these things yet? I been thinking about this lately. If there was a way or what all would be needed tht way the devices would be self sufficient and you could make and compile apks you wouldn't need a computer at all probably would need a good paint type program to edit png files been looking on the market for both but haven't really found either. well none that can handle transparency masks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dennisrivard:
I think it would be a horrible idea to try and write code on a tablet. It's bad enough just typing on them now. (I'm assuming that is what you meant :) )

Google did a pretty good job of creating a good cross-platform environment for writing code and generating APKs. Most people should have access to windows, mac or linux in order to write apps for android. Of course, the hardest thing for most people is the wonky UI layout code that is required.

Apple on the other hand tied iPhone/iPad development to Mac environments. Luckily there are products like MonoTouch that may help there....

GLBenchmark Numbers

Preliminary results.....

GLBenchmark has been updated to support the Gentouch78. I've posted some preliminary results, so we'll be seeing them soon once they update the public DB.

Here are the results as follows:

CPU Integer Performance - 8019

CPU Float Performance - 1791

HD ES 1.1 CPU Skinning - 1423 Frames ( 47.4 fps )

HD ES 1.1 GPU Skinning - 1399 Frame ( 46.6 fps )

Looking at these numbers pretty much cements that the Mali driver is punting to the CPU.

system.img in gentouch78patchv3.zip can be unpacked by unyaffs for HSG X5A. it should be packed by mkyaffs2image for X5A too.

page/OOB size of system.img is 4096/128 on Gentouch78.

I don't know mkyaffs2image/unyaffs in recovery.img are patched. if unpatched, mkyaffs2image creates 2048/64 image. it is not problem if unyaffs is also unpatched. don't mix patched/unpatched tools!

Sorry if this has been posted before - This threads a bit large.

Looks like another Machine with the same base as the Augen Gentouch 78 is available at DealExtreme. No specific model name (typical at DealExtreme), but it shows the HDMI connector is present, claims there is a camera, mic, and accelerometers, and also claims a 3000 mAh battery. Same charger, but with a European plug. $168.

Thanks heaps for your spam, the forum topic is "Augen Gentouch78 Rooting and Development" not "sell your crap here"

If you also read the spec image it states the following.

a) its a tcc8901 not a 8902

b) 1400mAH not 3000

Any way stop spamming this forum

wow.. a ROM for it.. excellent. I'll be trying it within the next hour or so.

hopefully I can change the launch icons. his pics show refresh looking symbols near the app tray launcher. I'll nandroid before of course. and is there ANY other roms that people have tried for the Gentouch?

I also might be selling in the next day or 2. Is there still difficult steps to properly wipe to stock. or when I did the Augenv3 with Linc's patch did that fix the problem with Wiping these devices? I don't want the buyer to have anything of mine.

Thanks!

Just looks like linckraker's v3 update + avatar theme, as others have mentioned elsewhere, to me...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
yea but lin's v3 modded patch didn't fix the market. We still need to do other things to get it working. So that ROM has fixed it for you, added ADW launcher, and done a few other things... but i see ur point. it's basically Linc's v3 patch with a little theming and customizations. but it's got some weird kernel so maybe it's a little smooth. I'll try it and report back.

We get an overclocking kernel yet?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
You do realize that there's now a dead simple market enabler, right? Clockworkx made a Non-ugly Market fix package that's available from the slatedroid wiki...

i.e. all you need to do now is linckraker's v3 update + non-ugly market fix... voila everything we have for the GT in about 10m.

Now we need that promised kernel source (and hopefully everything else) and the opengl es driver stack... going to need a new thread too when that happens I think...

[EDIT]

As a possible alternative I did track down some TCC89XX modded kernel source, but it was for a DVR thing w/no touch screen... still might end up being useful in a pinch though, but I'd have to find it again... :D

Very cool, I isntalled that theme mod or whatever and it is fast and smooth.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cpg716:
Actually, this DOES NOT fix MARKET... Market DOES work if you do the updates and Linc's patch.. But only for a few day then it dies.. (THIS IS WELL KNOWN)... You WILL STILL NEED to do the Non-Ugly Market Fix... This is JUST the updates and Lincs patch already with an AVATAR theme...

took it back

Welp - I jsut joined the illustrious "returned my Gentouch" club. I found that the only times i used it was wo show people or work on using it - the destination for me needs to be what I do with the device and not always screwing with the device itself. For 150 it was fun to scew with for 6 weeks or so, but I found that i hadnt touched it in 6 or 7 days so back she went. Good luck to all.

Im on linc v3 patch with adw launcher. I am selling tomorrow. With this new patch how do i factory wipe? Or should i wipe in clockwork recovery? Im selling for $160 and going to get the Archos 101 tablet or wifi only tab.. But most likely the 101 or a tegra2 like viewsonics

If I do a Wipe, will it remove the easy market fix? or can I do the market fix, confirm it's working. Then wipe my device again before selling?

and does anyone have the Nexus Boot Animation that linc had posted?

Did you do a nandroid backup before that update.. if so then just restore back to that
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dutch33:

generic recovery image for gentouch78?

Is there a generic recovery image that I can use to get back to the original ?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dutch33:
solved the problem

OK, so I called my local Kmart and they said they had none, and then i stopped by the store (the old YMMV philosophy,) and they had 5 behind the counter. I did an exchange and this time I will do the Clockwork recovery fix and then make a FULL backup before I do anything.

However it would still be nice to know what I could have done in my former situation.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] oldsk00lz:

Augen provides their images in the update you get from their site. (I.e. version 3). You can typically just flash these back to you're device.

I for one....

have to say I'm a bit disappointed....and I haven't heard back from ARM regarding the Mali200 DDK, and calls to Augen have gone unanswered.

Will give them one more call today......
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
So.....

I must be a real idiot or something is wrong here.

My unyaffs in Ubuntu will not work at all with the GT78 update system.img or Lincs or the SmartSurfer img

Now, opening them in NP++ has revealed that 95% of the code across the board is the same and that the initializers for the UBS host are in all three (scsi, scsi2....etc), but because I can't get unyaffs to work (even with the ZT-180 patches) I cannot see where the real deviation is!

I would love to merge the SmartSurfer with Lincs and maybe put the system.jar fix in there too, but it is not working for me at the moment. Tells me there are Segmentation Faults.

However, running a few other system.img files does work. Seriously WTF am I missing here?

Sadly I returned my GT the other day. Too bad that Augen did not feel like supporting this tablet more. It had a lot of promise in the beginning, but in the end it appears that this device along with this thread is dieing.

Returned mine, too

It seems the tablet & this forum is drifting to a stop, which makes me worry about the future of it. I'm going to the Archos 101 as well.

Thanks to Linc & the Devs. It was fun.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] secret.animal:
why....augen...why

As it all dies slowly but without pain. The developers and programmers did great work. To bas augen didn't try hard enough, and gave up to work on its new child.

Sad as it may be all these new tablets are coming to their day. What can any bring that will win our hearts. Will it be one over another. Screen or cpu power or will it be battery life, who is to say.

But if you wish many new technologies have risen from these ashes. I say let them come.

Actually our biggest problem atm is getting our hands on the android bsp code from telechips, who knows its the weekend I'll play around with the linux bsp some more and try to remove the 60 byte padding at the start, if anyone has their rx and tx hooked up so they can see what the console says get in contact with me so you can test my kernel as the M701 serial uart is disabled on the board.

The Gentouch78 is not the best tablet. But it is a great ebook reader with more features and uses than the Amazon Kindle and its in color. I will keep this and sell my Kindle instead.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
Yep. Good luck with that hope that it all works out for you. I took mine back today and picked up a white Pandigital Novel from BBB since they already have a functional code base and BBB has pretty liberal return policy if it bricks. (That's why I ended up deciding to return the GT as my return window was closing rapidly and no code -> bricking the end-of-the-line...)

I used to think so, but I noticed backlight bleeding one night while using it which contributed to my return decision. If you hold it up(ports top - portrait) and look at the right hand corners you can see where the casing/screen doesn't seem to quite completely cover the CFL tube... I happened to hold mine in portrait mode just "right" a couple of times and found it to be annoying for some reason and looked int he corners and found the above... happened again last night when trying to use it to read, final straw you might say.

[EDIT]

Anyways, someone had asked about TCC89XX kernel sources(ANY), and I replied that a while ago I stumbled across a media player device w/no touch screen/disp of ANY kind that IIRC had a linux source package as they ran linux on it.

IIRC I stumbled across it by googling TCC89XX demo board or maybe evaluation board or whatever the GT used to identify itself as before...

It was probably more than a month ago when I found it, and did not bookmark the site nor do I remember the name. They had a forum with a dev board and it was a Chinese company IIRC which made other media playback devices IIRC. (I found it when we thought that Augen was going to cough up the source, so I didn't really feel a need to keep track of it... and now I've taken my GT back and have a WPDN...)

Nope. Would've remembered if it was mp4nation...

Anyways, the device had an entire dev sub-forum devoted to it as I recall along with the usual product discussion forums...

I'll try to look for it later when I have a chance... I might magically enter a close enough google search term and pop it up again... if you want to try I MIGHT have quoted the search term (or part of it) for exact(well close) matching...

Hi Dennis,

Did you download the file on this link http://www.augenus.com/indexhome.html/Updates.html and select the Factory reset update for Gentouch which is the latest update? And what operating system do you have on your computer? If you need further assistance you can call us at 877-284-3665 9am-6pm EST Mon-Fri.

usb host is working

I am not sure if somebody done this before but to get usb host working I flashed boot.img from Surfer_OS_Update_30082010. It can read flash drive, recognizes usb keyboard ... bluetooth does not work.

I had to mod usb cable that came with GT78 connecting pins 4 and 5 on mini USB.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Childofthehorn:
If you want it fully going..... use the script and merge the SS and Lincs system.img Then use the kernel from Pandora. Use the boot.img from the SS.

Make sure to remove the phone stuff on the SS and it should work pretty good. That way you also get the BT files from Lincs (though I have no idea how you could use it.....).

I'll post the files once I get the market fix in there and working from boot. Give me time (personal life + other projects + other android device...)

the future of gentouch development?

Hey everyone...

I'm not looking for anything more than thoughts on the gentouch moving forward... Does everyone feel, at the very least, this device will work as advertised? What about images for android 2.2 or 3.0?

I'm not comparing this device to anything else out there... i just want it to work as advertized and that's it... its a $150 tablet... i'm good with that... but no matter what i do it doesnt ever work the way i'm expecting...

maybe someone can provide the current best build image with all the stuff so i can just load up the image and see what is what? copy to the SDcard and boot to clockwork and load the image?

thnaks!
