[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
HP support has no clue. I called 3 times today and was sent to a supervisor regarding this issue. Ready for a super complicated question? Here it is. What firmware release should I see on my device. That question stumped the panel. I was told that because the updates say "update failure", that meant I was on the correct one. Nice help.

Can some one please please please share what they see under firmware version? I can't handle another support person trying to walk me through windows update to patch a critical network error in windows 7. No joke.

I will check when I get home for you.

I just bought one of these printers since I needed a printer anyway, and my Archos 101 is RMAed due to the myriad of problems that tablet has (speakers and USB both broken) and it could be weeks before I get it back. So I needed some sort of Android fix and this was relatively cheap given that I wanted a new printer anyway.

I understand HP has released 2.2 and that you should be able to upgrade to it directly on the device (per an hp.com support forum post). I also figure that Android Market isn't going to happen on this device... but I did see a youtube video that with 2.2 Flash Player seemed to work reasonably well on it. However, there are multiple versions of Flash Player out there - for example the one I used on my Archos was ripped from a Droid X. Doubt that would apply for the HP Zeen.

Can anyone who's put Flash Player on this device suggest which APK file works best? And I've read that SlideMe, AppPlanet and Amazon App Store all work on the device.. any other alternative markets?

Hmm. Odd.... Have you tried resetting the device. This thing is picky about anything, a good reboot seems to clear a lot of issues I get.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
I got the Amazon app store running. I also installed the google app's I pulled from the latest cyanogen add-on. Most installed. Here's some details:

Google market works. I don't see updates to existing apps and my selection of apps are funky. I can't find any google apps in the search. Im guessing the market must need to know what kind of android client you run in order to provide search results?

Gmail crashes when I open. One cool thing is now I can add a google account rather than the goofy built in "exchange setup". It's syncing my calendar, contacts and provides send to picasa option for sending pics.

Other apps like google chat and maps work. I wish I new how to tell it to use wifi for location since it doesn't have a gps or cell built in. Latitude obviously won't determine location but it runs. Google voice runs but gets confused at the final part of the setup.

Somebody try these installs. Let's get'm working!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
Latitude works now for some reason. It can't determine my location but I can see location of my shared locations. Google voice search works but sends a error after it searches. I close the error and all is well on the results.

If I can get the native gmail app and market to display all apps, I'm golden!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
I got Gmail and Google search working without crashing. I removed both and reinstalled from applanet. Only thing to fix is Google market showing all the apps. I tried the Archos market patch but that wouldn't work. Oh well, everything else is though!

I returned my Xoom yesterday. I'm having more fun with this one. :)

Hi everybody,

Does anyone can tell us how to install the Android Market and google apps on our Zeen ?

Mine is rooted.

Thanks !
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
My printer and zeen is still new in the box but Google Market requires basically 2 .apk files, you should also get root explorer, busybox, titanium backup, link2sd. As far as the market showing all apps, that has to do with the /system/build.prop file with the ro.build.fingerprint string, try changing it to:

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2.2/FRG83G/91102:user/test-keys

since this is what market uses to display what apps are available as it can display all apps, all apps except protected apps or no apps at all since google uses that to determine what device you have. Assuming it displays all apps, you can then install Google apps like Google Mail, Google Maps, Google Goggles, etc by searching for it on market.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
I replaced mine with the string below. Market poops out. I cleared the cache and tried reinstalling the market. Bummer..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
That's why you should just add a # to the original string and when things go wrong, just undo the fix by commenting either the new string with a # and uncommenting the original. I have a question, is the Zeen supposed to come with a SD card? If so, is it already in the slot or is it elsewhere in the printer package?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
i did pound it out. i was saying its a bummer that the string you suggested didn't work.

no sd included
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
It might not be the string alone since my string is from the Motorola Droid 1 running froyo while the Zeen runs elcaire so probably will need to see the build.prop file and then have something to figure it out, probably should use something from the Samsung Galaxy Tablet instesd as the Zeen is a tablet. I thought it would have came with a small SD card and it doesn't look like it has a camera either.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Got a question, how much internal storage and memory does the Zeen have since it only appears to display information for the SD Card.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallfleming:
416mb showing for ram, not sure on storage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Thanks hallfleming, how did you get the info?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Seems like the best root instructions are here:

http://eb-productions.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hpzad&action=display&thread=297

I'm surprised this thing has a built-in file manager that doesn't require the use of Astro.

In any case, when I did the system updates thing, it prompt me to install a HP froyo beta app aqnd ofcourse when I click on the HP froyo beta app, it causes Yahoo! Mail to force close.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
I am fully rooted using the directions from the above. The only problem I have now is that, the Yahoo! Daily Digest keeps crashing if I logged in by Force Closing which is version 1.1.1, does anyone have a newer version .apk or a copy of the 1.1.1 .apk (com.yahoo.mobile.client.android.daily.apk)? I tried to load Google Finance except it would not work unless there was a Google Account setup which seems impossible as the thing only allows Yahoo! and Corporate Exchange accounts which is probably due to the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk. I couldn't even get YouTube, Adobe Flash, Google Market, Clear Default Home to install as all those when I click Install says "There is a problem parsing the package", that's probably due to the PakageInstaller.apk.

Looks like when I used Titanium Backup's Integrate into System ROM, I lost some widgets. Can anyone let me know what is by default on the screen?

There is a dock, which is the bottom row, all I have is:

Printer, Internet, Facebook

For the widgets, the first homescreen has Barnes & Noble on the left, and on the right hand side is the Weather with My Print Apps on the bottom.

What is shown if you swipe one homescreen to the left?

The one after that, I show News on the top and Explore the newest apps on the bottom left, what goes on the bottom right?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
The reason is because /system/bin/su is linked to busybox. You need to delete the /system/bin/su and relink it to /system/sbin/su - see the link I posted above for more directions.

Has anyone found their clock is off? I use my Zeen as my alarm clock with alarm clock plus, but I've found that the clock is over 5 minutes fast. I would assume this should be automatically updated, but apparently it's not. How can I fix this?

thanks,

-Keith
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
It's off on mines too while my Motorola Xoom does have the correct time because that one syncs the clock. It's not hard to fix the problem, you just need a utility that does the ntp (network time protocol) so it will sync with time servers that have the correct time. Take a look here:

http://android.modaco.com/content-page/307925/clocksync-synchronize-device-clock-via-ntp/page/20/

You should actually use this even on devices that automatic updates as syncing with time servers is always more accurate.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Found the time setting, not sure how I missed that. I would assume Android was written to pull time from the cell companies and HP did not set up anything to replace that. Is there an app that doesn't require root?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
I have the WiFi only XOOM and it does have a clock sync except I have to set the time zone. I'm sure Android 2.1 pulls the time from the cell phone carrier as it's a phone OS but normally in Linux or any Unix, one can use the ntpdate command to set the clock which is probably why it requires root since it seems that the clock is something that requires a high level of security so root is required. Basically, these all sync clocks with the atomic clock which is the same as the one used by the US Navy in Colorado? In any case, Clocksync works in both root mode and also in rootless mode:

HP Zeen C150 Tablet - Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.23 hacked to work with hulu.com

The following is a hack to get hulu.com working with the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.23 for the Android platform which is a hack of /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib/libflashplayer.so by hex editing AND 10,3,185,23 to WIN 99,9,999,99 so it will work with HULU.

Replace the original library file with a hacked version of the library file which consists of the following steps and requires root and Android 2.2 (Froyo):

1) Download attached Adobe Flash Player 10.3.185.23.apk

2) Extract the zip file and copy libflashplayer.so to sdcard

3) Copy libflashplayer.so from sdcard to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib using root explorer and make sure the permissions for libflashplayer.so is rwxr-xr-x or chmod 755libflashplayer.so.

After you apply the above, to get this working, make sure to set your browser User Agent string to Desktop. With the stock Android browser and probably other browsers excluding the Dolphin browser, you might have to do this each time you run any flash based site including hulu.com or start the browser:

It popped up on mine, but it's probably rolled out so not everyone gets it at once. Thanks for posting the flash thing, but is there any reason you keep posting it over and over?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Interesting, I checked for it manually. As for the flash thing, I'm not posting it over and over. Each time I post, there is a new version of Adobe Flash Player available and unless I post the newer hack for hulu.com, hulu.com will stop working because it will not work with mobile versions of flash, hence the reason for the hack which is to make it think it's the Windows Desktop version except it has a minimum version number check which is always the latest version number of the Windows desktop version and that number must be the same or greater. Remember apps have updated versions for security or other reasons which is why the version number is in the title so it's not posting over and over when each one is really a first time posting as the same hack is posted on atleast 5 threads on xda, other than the Zeen threads, people actually demand updates of the hack whenever a new version comes out.

For anyone interested in getting this thing to a decent workable tablet, I have done the following:

Root per here

Install LauncherPro apk from here

Then install the missing libraries to enable Marketplace/Gmail etc:

Download the HDPI CM6 gApps

I have installed:

Gmail

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter (only required if you need Gmail)

GoogleContactSyncAdapter (only required if you need Gmail)

GoogleFeedback

GooglePartnerSetup

GoogleQuickSearchBox

GoogleServicesFramework

MarketUpdater

MediaUploader

Talk

Vending

To install, best to get hold of "Root Explorer", then copy the above apps to SD card from PC, then in Root Explorer to /System/App and change the permissions of each individual apk to rw-r--r-- and then reboot. This will install the apps.

I can browse and download most apps in the Marketplace and all my Google contacts/mail/calendar are fully synced (inc Maps, Youtube etc)

What doesn't work:

1. I can't install NetworkLocation.apk as it needs to be signed by hp as it shares a certificate. So Maps works but can't locate itself.

2. Marketplace search returns no results. Possibly related to 1 or to the build.prop fingerprint. Will look in to this...

Hope this helps someone and reinvigorates this thread :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
I tried the above and now my zeen is bricked. Since basically, I moved all files in the zip to their respective locations in /system and moved all the .apk to the /system/app folder, I noticed you only copied some .apk's but not all of them. Also, there should be no need to manually install .apk's if it's already in /system/app as it will just install to /data/app if you did that. But anyways, rebooting was fine for me but on first boot, it has the normal Google apps screen where it has the option to backup to Google and then the next screen was the Welcome to c510a with the Android in the middle and when i click on it, nothing happens so I did a shutdown and when I rebooted, it's stuck on the HP Photosmart eStation screen and doesn't do anything afterwards. Seems like it's the Google Setup that's causing the problem as plugging in a Mini-USB data cable got it back to the Welcome t c510a screen but clicking on the Android did nothing.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp99:
Yes I only added the above precisely for this reason. There was a warning earlier in the thread. If you can, try adding

ro.setupwizard.mode=DISABLED to build.prop to bypass the setupwizard...

Not sure on the not installing apk part - that's not my understanding but then I've only had this for three days and never had an Android device before :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
I completely forgot about that but I thought someone else was able to resolve the issue, just not sure what they did. The problem is I can't get past that screen when booting so I couldn't access anything else so not sure how to even get to that file since adb couldn't see the device. Basically, any apk you put in /system/app will install on it's own when you boot. If you click on it, you will basically have 2 copies, one in /system/app and the one actually used in /data/app.

Already tried the tapping and dragging on the 4 corners thing. Also tried the volume up 1 times, volume down 2 times, volume up 3 times, volume down 4 times which was what is listed for the Samsung Galaxy Tab and neither of them did anything.

Never realized the multitouch wasn't fully implemented, maybe that's why it's so hard to type!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akp99:
Want you to get this working as it seems it's just me and you working on this!

I would have thought the four taps will work but the capacitative screen is just poor quality... or the lack of my last post means it doesn't recognise... other than that, with no adb it doesn't look good...

Random idea... if you hold down the "123*!#" key on the keyboard you should be able to get to the language settings. Can you go nowhere from there? Or maybe that's what you're saying...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Almighty1:
Yeah and it seems like if all else fails, I'll just have to order another printer to swap the Zeen out, hopefully that's not what I have to do.

There has to be some way to make the Setup Wizard so it Force Closes as I can see the Zeen runs the ClockSync app I have installed on bootup even with the Wizard.

What I meant was on the Setup Wizard screen, there is the Change Lanugage button which works while the Android and the Emergency dial buttons doesn't do anything. To get the keyboard, I click on the menu button which is the third button on the Zeen's upper left corner. Someone else faced this problem before and that was where the warning was and managed to resolve it but until we know what he did, it's a tough call.

As the thread below is where the warning is, which is not this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=836672

One would think that there should be ways to get into the ROM or filesystem since I'm not exactly bricked, it's just running a application before the launcher process that needs to be killed somehow and my Auto Task Killer is not running so that one is out. Is it just me or does the keyboard not have a dictionary when typing?
