Google Maps udate fix

John,

Thanks for the input..you spured me on to google it... found this|

1st. Remove via adb using these command from command prompt:

adb root

adb remount

adb shell rm /system/app/Maps.apk

adb uninstall com.google.android.apps.maps

then reinstall via market..

and it worked..now have the latest release
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mothy:
That should mean custom kernels and ROMS hopefully getting the clock speed up. That is if there are many devs still on this?

Thanks everyone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] sgspearman:
Thanks!

Just wanted to add a thanks for that great Lincs update - outstanding work! Even got the market working for the first time (after trying many of the other instructions) by simply updating the androidId from the emulator after the 2nd update.

I bought a 1000mA variable voltage (up to 9V which is what you want) Universal Car Adapter. It works but can only charge when the device is off (since it is an amp too shy). Bought it for $6 from ThingFling.com...

So, does anyone have any word on if cm6 is actually coming to the gentouch78?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Asadullah:
Don't know about that but I do know this archos has five tablets coming out that will make you slap yourself for buying the gentouch and The top three have capacitive screens (that's the stuff wet dreams are made of) here I already slapped myself so your turn?

Oh does anyone know how to open a ubi.img? That's what another tablet company is putting their 2.2 update in
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Bateluer:
I need to learn to compile Android from source for these tablets. The Archos 7o and 101 tablets look amazing. Just got my A81E yesterday.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
Well, I for one was very underwhelmed by both price and features of the new Archos tablets... the only good thing about them definitely is 1GHz Cortex-A8 supposedly OMAP3640 IIRC. Not really sold on capacitive screens. Lacking DVR, GPS and likely bluetooth as well(feature regression).

The 70 was the one that I was mildly interested in but not at $280, $200 yes, $280 no way. Just not interested in microscopic tablets either... (their 2 & 3" models) or gigantic tablets(10")

But I've been pretty underwhelmed by all of the other IFA tablets so far as well, as most have 3G -> unnecessarily high end cost one way or the other, i.e. w/onerous mobile plan -> HIGH end cost, or generically overpriced w/o onerous mobile plan.

Only thing worth still thinking about to me ATM are one of the HSG 8902 tablets OR the witstech A81-E...

[EDIT]

apparently they kept bt, but I'd rather have GPS than bt...

[/EDIT]
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mothy:
I am really looking at the 7 or 10 inch archos. I dont need the GPS stuff, thats what google nav on my phone is for. I am looking at a e-reader, web surfing, gaming machine. The Archos have that. I can side load apps hopefully but even at that Im not worried. So I gueess that settles it I will return my Gentouch and wait out others. And 300 instead of the what 450 min for the maxipad is a win win. Also add the bluetooth keyboard to the 10 inch and you have a little PC.

So if anyone is really interested in purchasing another gentouch before I return it let me know. Im only asking $150 plus shipping, Ill cover insurance.

Later
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
Well in my case I don't have a cell phone(can't stand the things), esp the tards that try to drive and talk... and only one bluetooth supporting device, my nb so bt is kind of useless for me. i.e. given the choice I'd have to pick GPS as being more generally useful than bt but wouldn't turn down both, but 3G is definitely out so Archo got that part right for me.

I've seen various further info on the Archos tablets, 70 gets "mini" HDMI but I didn't see any specific mention of opengl es 2.0 & accelerometer, presumably it will have both as all of them use the OMAP 3640 w/PowerVR SGX.

101 is reported definitely with opengl es 2.0 + accelerometer and HDMI port.

Still can't see the point of 2.8, 3.2 & 4.3" devices though... no uSD and small internal storage so they're not very good for video, too small for tablet... audio players?? Also don't get the pricing scheme, c. $280 for the 70 and c. $300 for the 101? then c. $350 for the 16GB 101, and 250GB 70(?! these should be reversed!) -> 250GB 101 & 16GB 70... just don't know about Archos...

I use the GT alot for reading and web surfing... been using it almost every morning for 1-2.5h of quick checking on various sites, email that needs to be answered immediately, etc. Then use it for a few hours reading outside at night...

wanted the opengl es stack implemented so I could give fennec and a some other opengl apps a whirl...

More news on new Augen tablets at engadget, $200-400 7-10" hope that doesn't mean that we're already orphaned...

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mothy:
I hear yah. For me storage isn't an absolute necessity so * would be enough when paried with a SD card. The one thing I like about Archos combined with Android is the large dev community behind them. Im really torn between the 101 and the Cruz 10 inch. tablet. Im in a little different boat as I have the smartphone and a work provided laptop but I would love to use the tablet to augment the 2.

Im a little weary of Augen now after the 78. All the chinese tabs as well as the Augen stuff is the fact that they hack the crap out of Android to get it on thus including a fake radio file that does nothing but suck my battery to hell for no purpose.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Fixup:
Anyone knows how to uninstall fring? Thanks.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwave:
FIXUP:

At the moment I dont believe you can uninstall FRING. I believe Linc may be working on that for the next update.

As for the new tablets Augen and Archos, If Augen doesnt do better than a JAN debut they are inSERIOUS stuff.

With ARCHOS and CRUZ both hitting the market before T-day all the late comers will be battingclean up. Augen had a GREAT lead, why they would BLOW it so badly I just dont get. They could take the feed back they have gotten from us, gotten an A81E and put a capacitive screen on it and BAM they'd be ib chips

OY, living in O-town I know the sun can bake your brains but I was REALLY hoping .....
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
I was thinking about their oddly off timing too... missing the whole Christmas season unless they plan to continue putting efforts into the GT until they can get the others out later... e.g. like possibly upgrading OS version, opengl stack, accelerometer working, unlocking CPU freq, etc. The 8902 itself is a pretty powerful package, they just need to clean up the fw some more and fix up the last bits.

The pix(all 2 of them) at engadget make them look kind of nice... hope that they give us alpha testers a deal of some sort...

Items which need to be fixed.

Here's some other items which Augen could help get fixed.

USB - this is suppose to be OTG so devices can be powered.

Is this a cable, software problem or what?

Is there bluetooth in the device or not? Having a bluetooth

headset for skype would become very useful.

VPN that can be used to connect to Cisco Missing the tun.ko module.

Yeah there price range is crazy especially the 250 gb thing wtf??? Shouldn't the ten inch come with that?? I am really confused Right now. One thing though is that I guess in another couple months there are gonna be better tablets but for the same price

Just wanted to say I told you so to anyone that I said that these first tablets are just just test tabs and if they do well that they are gonna come out with new tablets Fortune teller I am ...no :D

Also has anyone tried the linux kde for android on these? I can't find the link but I know that it's here somewhere
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
There's no bluetooth, but USB host support MIGHT help with that if you could get drivers.

I want a complete Mali OpenGL ES 2.0 stack... and nudging to 2.2 even if it's w/o flash would be nice...

I'm kind of doubting that there's a patch file buried in there... most of the rest of the stuff is Dalvik VM code, various libraries code, random daemons, and other stuff...

need to a diff against what you can pull from Google's repo to see what, if any changes were made... AFAICS...

not going to be doing that any time soon though, only got around to pulling the generic kernel, and the froyo specific kernel tree... never grabbed the rest yet...

[/EDIT2][/QUOTE]

I poked around in there, and there's nothing resembling kernel code that I can find. Mostly code for what you said.

I filed a ticket with Augen to see what they will say.

I haven't built an Android kernel yet.

Last time I looked at the full code (back in 1.1 days), they included the source for most of the apps that were included in the base OS.

This looks nothing like that.

I still get the feeling these guys have no idea what they are doing, and are merely OEMing this from their source in China. The fact that several other tablets from other vendors appear to be identical is a good indicator.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcelol:
Drivers

What will be interesting is how we can draw out the driver-specific parts of the kernel to rebuild ones of our own. Definitely have to compare this to the CM6 AOSP to be able to prepare a Froyo if at all possible.

This has been irrelevant for a while now. Just use linckraker's v3 update + market fix (either from one of the wikis or clockworkx's non-ugly market fix)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] goodintentions:
I know it's irrelevant. I'm just trying to replicate some of the earlier problems that people supposedly had. Ever heard of gentouch78 for dummies? Ordinary people just don't run into the same problems or know how to fix things the way we do. To give you an idea, I've been instructing people how to do basic things like installing and uninstalling apps. Just the other day, I got a question by some guy who couldn't scroll his adw up and down. I had to tell him the default is left and right not up and down.

Not everyone wants to go through with rooting and lickrcaker's v3. They want simple honest to god ways to make the device work.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
Actually linckraker's update includes rooting AND clockwork, restores the original apps as well... still the best option... adding market is an optional step... It'd just be best to have them install that update and the non-ugly market hack if they want that.

Nope, never heard of gentouch for dummies...

Noob here. Got my tablet yesterday did the new patch with root. I loaded setcpu from the market and it recognizes root. I let setcpu figure out what device it was .But, it only allows me a top speed of 528. I know some are getting 660. I'm wondering how to achieve this? Also when the screen goes off and I turn it back on the device is unresponsive and the screen turns red then green for a second then will become responsive. Seems like a glitch. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks!

killed that and everything is back to normal.

Embedded linux?

First post here and VERY early android user. Forgive my newbishness.

I was wondering if an embedded linux might not be a better solution for this tablet to take advantage of the benefits of the resistive screen.

I know some of you might be in shock :eek: that I said "benefits" of a resistive screen, but you must understand that folks work and play differently, and a capacitive screen doesn't work well (if at all) for handwriting and drawing.

Having said that, xournal or gournal might be great programs to take advantage of the resistive screen, unless there is a similar app or apps within the android milieu that perform similar functions.

Is there a means for flashing a different OS?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcelol:
Not if you leave WiFi on ( Auto sleep @ 1Min )

I installed Quick Settings ( Thanks to SlideME ), and turned on Airplane mode. However, I had left WiFi on at the time, and let it "sleep" ( I had it set to 1 Min ). Now in the morning, the battery had depleted.

The Airplane mode stuck, but WiFi mode didn't oddly enough. But something is definitely there to be done to get it's battery life under control.

On another note, did someone actually try and remove the google account by removing

account.db ? Just curious because that's what I have been wanting to do, w/o losing the other installed apps.

Update: I tried out the procedure for removing accounts.db ( after pulling it for safe measure ), yup....it does it what's advertised.

Not that at this point I'm going to return this puppy.

And for the record.....what TheDude said was that he didn't have Froyo running on this thing.....YET !

First of all, thanks to everyone that have contributed!

This is my first Android device so I am pretty clueless - but following the directions given I was able to get root access, get SetCPU running, get AMM running and now have a pretty responsive GT!

For those that need it, here is AMM (version 1.81, not sure if that is the latest, but it is the one I was able to find).

For me it is easiest to email it to myself and install it that way, like I said, this is all new to me so I take the path of least resistance, LOL.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -viperboy-:
That would be great, kinda like getting Ubuntu or Debian running on Android phones. However, we're not at that stage yet. We would need to get the kernel source and mod the kernel to be able to do that.

Right now, our focus is on a recovery and than cleaning up the system with a better build of 2.1. I'm sure 2.2 will come, but not yet. First things first :)
