... If you are rooting a side note, all I had to do was get the SU file and upload it with ADB . I didn't mess with the Magic Haykuro files etc...

HOW TO GET FILES ONTO YOUR GenTouch

Until the market patch comes out, this is a temporary solution. I realize this may have been easy for most of you but for some novice users out there who want to download apps to their new GenTouch (without waiting for the patch).

First off, I hope you guys have another android device. your other device must have an SD card inserted. also you will need to get the ES file explorer app transferred from your GenTouch to your Phone.

GET THE ES FILE EXPLORER FROM GENTOUCH TO THE PHONE

1. with an SD card inserted, on the GenTouch, Open ES file explorer. click the Gears in the top right corner to view a list of installed apps.

2. long press on ES File Explorer in the list, click Backup.

3. remove the SD card, put it in your phone

4. (get Astro from marketplace if you dont' already have it). In Astro, navigate to /sdcard/Backups and click to install ES File Explorer. Yes you need unknown sources checked in Settings->Applications.

5. Now with this version of ES File Explorer installed, you can backup any apps from your phone (with working marketplace) to your /sdcard/backups

GET APPS FROM PHONE TO THE GENTOUCH

1. on your android phone download the app that you want.

2. In ES File Explorer , click the gears icon in the top right to view a list of installed Apps

3. Long Press on the application you want to transfer to your GenTouch (GT), select Backup. Do this for as many apps as you want.

4. Turn off your phone, pull the SD card.

^^^^^^^^^For the love of God be careful when putting the sd card in your GT, I just lost a 2GB in that huge gap between the metal sleeve and the plastic opening, and now I must tear it apart to retrieve it^^^^^^^^^^^^

Put it into your GT. Make sure on your GT under Settings->applications you allow "unknown sources".

5. on the GT, open ES File Explorer (came preinstalled). browse to /sdcard/backups

6. touch the apps you want and click install.

I noticed installs take a lot longer on this device. Not sure why but it seems about 3-4 times the normal install time that my Droid Incredible needs for the same applications.

HOW TO TRANSFER DOCUMENTS TO GO FULL LICENSE ($29 value)

from your GenTouch to your Android Phone....

[Follow these instructions and use ES FILE EXPLORER to copy the DOCUMENTStoGO FULL Version APP from your GT to your Phone.]

*********

One APP you should really check out is the SWYPE keyboard (if you can find it), as well as Auto Memory Manager as mentioned in this first post.

Obviously, you can also drop APKs and install them from ADB by putting an apk file in your c:\sdk\tools folder (ADB INSTALL xxxwhateverxxx.apk)

Also some other good information.

I have a rooted HTC Incredible (for dInc owners: mine has leaked v2 OTA radio and CM6 Vanilla FroYo )

I took a road trip for a wedding tonight and while running Wireless Tether in AP mode on my HTC Incredible, I had internet for my GenTouch on the two hour ride from Tulsa to Oklahoma City. Sweet.

But what is Not so good, it doesn't appear this device can connect to wireless networks running Ad-Hoc, which is what "Wireless Tether" apk previously used. The AP mode didn't work in my 2.2 Sense, so I had to nandroid back to a 2.2 CyanogenMod ROM. the AP mode is an issue with the Incredible but I thought it would be worth passing on.

*AP mode good.

*Ad-Hoc is no-go for me. (Anyone else have luck?)

with SetCPU 2.01 at a minimum of 200-400 Mhz and Swype keyboard, this GT feels 100x better already. Screen is way more responsive after rooting and installing SetCPU. I'm going to get a youtube vid up this weekend if I can detailing Root, and install of some basic apps on the GenTouch. Its 3AM ... Goodnite
