Running into the same issue....

can't download Facebook, Twidroyd, Astro

but can download some random games and stuff...

Weird!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] pkupp:
Attached is RotateD pulled from the emulator market (I didn't even try fixing the market on the GT - waiting it out for now).

Still looking for a working version of Swype...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xport:
thank you!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
I am also looking for a version of Sywpe that works.

and does anyone have any suggestions for my guided or suggestive text problem.. When typing on the GT every word I type even if spelled right. like the word "like" android suggested words are only showing my contacts instead of real words, and even when a word is spelled right, when I hit space it chooses the first suggestion. Being a name in my Contact list. so every single word I type I have to choose instead of just hit space.

idea's? and do we have a Official Augen GenTouch78 thread here thats not for dev
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
oh and how can I get USB to work on Windows 7? I'm on 64.

I have USB files for Android cuz it was a hassle on my N1 as i rooted and did everything for my Nexus One, but my PC's not seeing the GT and in device manager i see Android Eclair but none of the drivers I try or things I try work.. idea's? When the GT screen shuts off I get the USB unplugged sound from my PC. but I still can't communicate with this darn thing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wbales:
how many USB keyboards have you tried??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xaueious:
I'm guessing your lack of volume keys is what's problematic for scrolling through the menu.

I'm not sure what you are using to remap keys, but the init.rc syntax to map keys for recovery on my Apad is like this:

setprop KEY_CODE_UP "59"
setprop KEY_CODE_DOWN "102"
setprop KEY_CODE_ENTER "62"
setprop SUPPORT_CYCLE "1"

You can get the keycode by running 'getevent' when booted

For adb, just copy over the adbd binary and have something like this:

service adbd /sbin/adbd
disabled

on property:persist.service.adb.enable=1
start adbd

on property:persist.service.adb.enable=0
stop adbd

Then in default.prop, set persist.service.adb.enable=1

I have a hypothesis.

I/vending ( 1207): com.android.vending.AssetDownloader$DownloadManagerBroadcastReceiver$DownloadManagerService.getDownloadStatus(): Unexpected status from download - 492

That is from my logcat.

I believe that the market downloads into /cache and it appears that there is not enough room.

Possibly a softlink might be the solution...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] NCommander:
So after some testing, we've determined the reason large size Market apps fail is because /cache is mostly full with a non-deletable folder. We've worked out a partial workaround (non-persistant across reboots) that allows the Market to download larger apps.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] n0m0n:
The reason you are having the above issues is becuase Google has not authorized this device?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] linckraker:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] remailednet:
Would you mind posting the entire recovery image for the apad?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
excellent. I am downloading it now and will report back.

Edit* Everyone that has the GT should FOR SURE Get Swype from the link above and install it to there device. it makes typing amazingly easy. I highly recommend it to all of you. (Thanks for the upload)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xaueious:
The Apad is cramfs and ARM5. boot.img is the ramdisk and kernel.img is the kernel.

Layout is quite different.

What I laid out should be enough for devs.

By the way is there an official flashable ROM for the Gentouch floating anywhere? I don't see any links on the Wiki. Maybe I can glance at what's there.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xguntherc:
xaueious, any help you wanna throw in I'm sure we will all be appreciative. HTC (OP) should have what you're looking for
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] remailednet:
Well a dev I am not. I just consider myself a cut and paste coder that learns by looking. But I am quite happy with that.

I did use getevent to get the scan codes for the buttons, and edited the init.rc in the recovery image, but still it was a no go. Which is why I wanted to take a quick peek at the apad recovery, just to see what it looks like. But from what you describe, I guess it's not worth the time.

Are you wanting the stock recovery? If no one has posted it by tonight, I will. God knows I've flashed it enough.

Also, my Chinese sources tell me that they highly doubt this device actually passed the FCC, CE, or CCC testing. They are producing TCC8902 based platforms too, and none of them have working accelerometers.

USB

This was pointed out to me on slatedroid this morning. I have not tried it as I not at the machine with the sdk installed.

If you havent gotten this yet, Install the android SDK, connect your gentouch to your computer, when windows wants a driver select the "Install from a list or specific location" option, choose the "Don't search, I will choose the driver to install" option, from the list choose "Android Phone" then Android ADB Interface. From here ADB should work.

Android n00b here... I was so dissapointed with this tablet when I first got it, I decided I was going to take it back. I did the factory reset only to find all the additional apps were gone, and then I found this forum which completely changed my mind about the tablet.

I've got it running great now, thank you all for the great info btw, but would like the apps back. Any chance someone made a backup of all the apk's?

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] kdevine:
Why does Dev work have to go on hold? I have one and quite a few others have one too... They had about ten at my K-mart (all held for rainchecks)... It has an FCC and CE stamp on it (not that I couldn't put that on anything), but it only needs FCC for the Wifi which any standard transmitter would have. Additionally, Augen is a US-based company, failure to comply with government regulations is very, very bad...

How do you flash the stock recovery on the Gentouch 78. I need to reset my device to factory defaults. I'm stuck in a Setup Wizard screen after trying to do the Market Fix. I can use adb.

Thanks!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xaueious:
Clockwork recovery? Nice

Whatever dev work can continue. But people aren't receiving their devices right now that's all.

I'm guessing you can use flash_image recovery recovery.img
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mab127:
Well I copied the recovery.img to /system then did a "adb shell" and entered "flash_image recovery recovery.img" It echoed flash_image recovery recovery.img.

I rebooted the device... same thing. I'm stuck at the Setup Wizard. But nothing happens. I attached an image of the setup screen I can't get past!!!

I am not sure about this.. Lots of people have found them, all the Kmarts in my area did have 4 or 5 last week, even though they didn't initially. I don't think Augen missed anything, I think only some Kmarts around the country got them.

Volume Solution/Wallpapers

2 things.

You can control volume by long pressing the search button on the back with this app RVolumeControl (com.roy.volumecontrol.apk).

Custom wallpapers would not work for me since the camera app force closes...You can set custom wallpapers using the flikie 3d gallery, you need to install both apks (com.flikie.wallpapers.hd-1.apk,com.flikie.wallpapers.gallery-1.apk).

Hope this helps someone else.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mab127:
That's EXACTLY what I did !! I removed them to see if it helped with the battery usage. Luckly I backed the files up.

(I always backup any file I'm go to modify or delete from the device, good thing)

Thanks SO Much !!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mab127:
**UPDATE**

"linckraker" figured it out!

I remove Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk from the device.

I removed them to see if it helped with the battery usage. Luckly I backed the files up. I just copied them back to /system/app and rebooted the device then it would load the next screen when I pressed the Android in the Setup Wizard.

No Google will only see an IP address and probably the Wireless router's Public not the GT78's private.

There will still be files in there, so rm -r whatever_folders_are_left (do 1 at a time - and lost+found cannot be deleted, don't worry)

Reboot Tablet

I can confirm this across 3 GT's!!! Perhaps it's just because it gets rid of all the bloat that Augen puts on from Factory and the tablet can operate like a native android os device properly should...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Linuxslate:
I erased just the Dalvik cache (/data/dalvik-cache), and I've noticed at least some speed up. The window animations are smoother (some I did not even see before).

I have not rooted, done the Market fix or anything. I'm waiting for the official update from Augen, and for the time being, I'm content to just install stuff from Freewarelovers/android and various Google Code projects. 'Got used to doing that from having several of the Chinese Android tablets.

(Yes, I'm addicted to these cheap tablets, and continuing to buy them at $100-$150 /ea. is cheaper than the therapy to get me to stop.)

X seems to have some decent information about Android and some other things, however if you look around it SEEMS as though he is the primary source for the "counterfit ZT-180" claims that appear to have stemmed from a website that appears to be a web fan related site for the cpu.

Now I say this with some caution because again if you search several forums he also seems to be a HUGE accuser of other folks being "paid informants for the chinese resellers" and fom google translate his source for the counterfit info seems to be a tad extremist

Official Market Fix on 8/10?

I was reading over at SlateDriod, in their Gentouch Wiki and they had the following...

Anyone else confirmed and/or heard this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] treeSkwerral:
First of all, if you look at their website, they changed their GT page. It used to say "Android Marketplace". Now it says "App Store with over 2000 apps". The Marketplace has over 50,000 apps. So there is a good chance their patch will remove the Marketplace and replace it with an app store that has a much more limited selection. I hope and will be happy, however, if I am wrong.

Second, the customer support guys are being told a date of 8/11 for the update. The only other software to expect from Augen before the update is a restore patch of some sort that is suppose to act like the restore CD you get when you buy a new computer. I just got off the phone with the Augen corporate office and they told me this directly. The restore patch is expected in the next couple of days with a deadline of 2 PM Friday (8/6). If it's not ready by then there is suppose to be a news release on their website stating when they hope to have it working. I say working because it is finished, however, it is still bugged.

xaelious (or however you spell that weird nick) was right about the ZT-180s not having Cortex-A8, but it seems to have set him off on some sort of crusade of irritation... [EDIT] (and he's not the only one...) He goes between being helpful and having useful comment, to randomly slagging off something... [/EDIT]

As to Augen updates: They're probably entirely dependent upon Dawa to provide them with it, as I doubt that Dawa handed over the source to them, and they may be just like a better funded flatcomputing having no technical staff just a bunch of marketroids and some source of 800# support staff.

My hopes are that we actually see someone else FROYO implementation for this thing. With all the mods in 2.2, would sure be nice to see 2.2 on this baby.

For $150.00 im not complaining. Its a great development platform when you want to test apps your writing. I look at it as being the lowest common denominator, so while a 0 on quality control releasing this product, it does in fact provide a cheap (and yes CHEAP) alternative to using an emulator or buying a $500 phone.....

Im running full streaming audio/video without hitches so Im happy with that anyway.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cutterjohn:
I know, I'm still interested in getting one if Augen manages to cough up more stock for kmart... o.w. I guess that I'll just have to go with a Witstech A81 E or variation thereof...

I was hoping to get froyo on the GT too... so far I'd only pulled a copy of Google's 2.6 & 'common" kernel trees from git... hadn't really looked at them much yet except to see if they had any Cortex-A8 specific changes...

I tried changing the MAC in this file. Not sure why I can write this file since I have not rooted, but

adb push calData_ar6102_15dBm.bin.mod /system/wifi/calData_ar6102_15dBm.bin

writes the file.

I guess there is a checksum in there someplace because after writing, I can't start WiFi.

I made absolutely sure I did not change the file in any other way.

I'll try coming up with a MAC that would not change a simple checksum.

/dev/block/mtdblock2 /system yaffs2 rw 0 0

Does that mean mine is factory rooted? Are they all? Some?

Hmm.. interesting news about that Witstech A81 E, as well as that ipad clone that you guys mentioned. the ZT whatever.

Very happy to hear that the update is coming on the 11th. Sucks that we have to wait another 6 days. but I think as long as it's actually the Market. I'll be extremely happy. Although I have everything I want on mine already. Sort of.

So has anyone fixed the sound issue. it sounds great. Gets loud enough. Only problem is every other time I try to play a sound it doesn't work, or it's muffled. After a reboot it works perfect. Not sure why though. And that guy might be a troll, but the gpad 110 does look to be everything the GT is, and more for only $29 more dollars. it has 3G, Accelerometer, HDMI & G-Sensor.. to bad it is sold out. lol

I don't know where this is. When searching for drivers, Where do I find this Android ADB Interface to choose while searching for driver?

I don't think Dawa has anything to do with this. The VP of Augen had no idea who or what the Dawa D7 was. He was however chatting (online) with the developers when we were speaking.
