Hi all,

I've tried the Fix several times and some apps (Firefox beta first and formost) still don't show up in search. I've installed the beta 3 with an older market or an Apk, can't remember, but it doesn't show up. It says here: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox (login with my google account) that it is installed on my Archos, but still, I don't understand.
[Gen8 Android Development] chikess:
Same here, installed, market gets updated to the new version and it shows me no protected apps, eg no angry birds.

Any workarround?
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
Did you read the first post?
[Gen8 Android Development] chikess:
Yes, i did but nothing works.
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
Interesting. I've had it working before but your right it's not showing now. Not a whole lot that can be done about it since we are not supposed to have the market anyway.

If you are running Urikdroid you might be able to change the fingerprint in the build.prop to something else that allows these apps. I have not heard of anyone doing it yet.

Also, you can try doing it with Appslib.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
I found that while doing the market fix.. also clear the data for the market. I get all of the adobe products after that.

Edit: I have changed my fingerprint and use MarketEnabler and still can't get all the apps. I have tried lots of different fingerprints and different carriers with MarketEnabler, but as some new apps will show up, others will disappear. I haven't found a real good fix yet.

archos 70 it

i have a70it 250gig. i had updated the fw to 2.2. and also apps4archos2 everything almost was working great on it. market, youtube, gtalk, angrybirds, etc.

only issue i found was my 1to50 score would never get uploaded.i could local, daily, global and country scores but mine wouldnt get there.

then i saw this idiotic arc tools on app library. i thought it was the official way to get market apps instead of my current gapps4archos2.

it seems like the biggest chance i took and most unfortunate too. as after that my market stopped working and some other gapps too. so i uninstalled it put again my gapps4archos2, it wont sign into google. finally i hard reset my a70 and still i cant sign in. i have used gappsinstaller v5, gapps4archos2 and arctools. one by one and each on a fresh reset machine. but with none of them can i sign in to my google account now. the famous error cant establish a data connection....

i dont even know if anyone can help. but then there are masters and genius everywhere.
[Gen8 Android Development] daveid:
There is something larger going on, in the general section there are other users reporting issues signing into google right now. I am having the same issue with the market, I was able to restore my account via TB. So, my gmail works. But I can't get into the market just now, it won't verify the terms of service. Pretty sure this is a google problem right now.

Just to share, the error I am getting is:

Thank a lot, dude!
[Gen8 Android Development] Kanzar:
I have to agree with Tesla74 - have to wipe data of Market to get all the hidden apps, or at least Angry Birds normal.

Edit: nimbuzz and palringo (possibly others) don't show, though...
[Gen8 Android Development] schaze:
Hi,

I got my replacement unit (Archos101) yesterday and updated to the latest FW 2.1.08 and then installed the v5 gAppsInstaller with the apps.zip as I did many times before.

But something seems to be wrong. I get occasional FCs when clicking "Install" & "Accept (for the app permissions)" to fast.

Also interesting: I can see Angry Birds directly after the installation before applying the MarketFix, but not others like LauncherPro.

After the MarketFix Angry Birds is gone (except the AB Seasons) but LauncherPro is visible.

If I do a clear data on the Market app, Angry Birds is back but the LauncherPro is gone again. When doing the MarketFix the Situation switches again.

So it is either the one or the other, not both. Also clear Data practically breaks the Market as it does not show the installed apps correctly any more.

One other thing is that my Archos is not showing up as a device in the web market (market.android.com).

Any hints or updates what could be done here?

/schaze
[Gen8 Android Development] schaze:
anyone still reading this thread? :eek:
[Gen8 Android Development] mrkniceguy:
Reading, but I haven't updated to the latest firmware yet. Still happy with .4 so I'd rather not ruin a good thing.

Anyone else running .8? Going swimmingly?
[Gen8 Android Development] schaze:
just for my understanding: with the .4 version you dont have the problems I described in my previous post?

One more interesing thing: my archos now finally showed up on the web market market. but for all the apps not installable in the device market it also says my device is incompatible.

Another one: I tried using the appbrain market since it works now again also with the new market. When I want to use the webpage to install Adobe Flash Player on my device with the fast web-installer it tells me that the app is not compatible with android 2.1! Now this must not necessarily be related to the problem with the google market, butmaybe Archos messed something up in a properties system file with the new FW?

Maybe someone with a rooted device can have a deeper look and confirm this?(no idea where to look for smth like that though)

/schaze
[Gen8 Android Development] mrkniceguy:
Well, now that you mention it... I know that it worked once, but I cannot see Launcher Pro in the market now...

Just ran the fix and Launcher Pro showed up, but Angry Birds is gone. I see seasons, but no regular. You're on to something! I just wish I knew why.

The strange thing is I can't install Launcher Pro from the web but I can install both Angry Birds. Curiouser and curiouser.

Again, still running version 2.1.4.

I just got a new Evo today so I'm kinda playing with that right now, but I'll update the firmware to 2.1.8 in the next few days and report back what I find.

Edit: While Angry Birds shows up on the web, it doesn't seem to be installing on the device. I'll keep trying.
[Gen8 Android Development] vesper_81:
Hello everyone. I just bought archos 70 with 8GB and i want to install android market. After a lot of reading i saw that i can install appg....and get the market. Should i use v4 or v5? Are there any major issues? I saw that someone could not install youtube, or google maps, etc.

Thank you very much for your time and consideration.
[Gen8 Android Development] vesper_81:
Just installed v5. All work smooth until now. Only one question. For flash support, can i download something? I read about Droid X....
[Gen8 Android Development] OstrichSak:
I recently stumbled upon an all black version of Voice that didn't require root so I deleted my Voice on my Archos 101 (I know, wish I hadn't now) so that I could install this version and now I have no Voice. When I get to the part where it scans voice mail settings it freezes and doesn't give me the option to skip. The button is there but it's grayed out like it's working but it never comes around. I tried to click the gAppsInstaller which I still have on my device and it ran but still no working Voice. Does anyone know how to get past the part where it lets me skip VM setup on this black version or at least how to get the previous version I had installed w/o having to reset clear cache and install again? Thanks for the help.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Are you talking about Google Voice or Voice Search? You can get them in the market.

http://www.androidzoom.com/android_developer/google-inc_ex.html
[Gen8 Android Development] OstrichSak:
Google Voice. I searched the market before posting here & no dice. I assumed it wasn't showing up because it's not an officially approved Google device.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Sometimes apps don't show up with or without the market fix.. try this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=956059

Also if you have root you can search the forum on how to change the market fingerprint which may help more apps to show up in the market.
[Gen8 Android Development] OstrichSak:
Thanks but the app I need isn't in that list. I have the apk I need but it won't let me install. It errors during the setup for some reason because it's not actually a phone device and is trying to sense voice mail settings that aren't there.

I'm not rooted because I was waiting for an easy root method and a custom ROM to become available.
[Gen8 Android Development] tko:
some note from a new "archos 32" user:

updated to froyo

installed gApps4Archos2.apk, had the youtube problem

deinstalled it

tryed v5-final, installed only core, market didnt start

tryed v5, same problem

tryed v4, worked :)

edit: but it seems that the market fix does not work (cache delete, stop service, ...)
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
You might have to do the market fix more then once for it to work.
[Gen8 Android Development] Lord Bodak:
The market fix doesn't seem to be working for me anymore. A number of apps just don't show up in the market, some of which used to. Launcher Pro and Google Voice are just two examples.

I've done the market fix three times this evening and the end result is the same. Is there anything else that might explain this?
[Gen8 Android Development] JeG81:

This posting is more then 6 Month old and long outdated.

If you want the Google market goto appslib, download ArcTools run it.

It will let you install the Market.

gApps4Archos is outdated so there is no need to get any downloadlink for that.

Get ArcTools.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
One small bug I'm noticing that was not present after installing any other build of gapps is that when I change screens (flick left or right on home screen) the top half of all icons and widgets disappears and then reappears when the screen is finally in place. Dunno if that's this build or not. Otherwise it's working great.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I'm not getting anything like that. I dont see how the gApps could cause it either. The installer is only copying the gApps apks over and not changing any system level features or settings.

Are you using ADW or LauncherPro?
[Gen8 Android Development] micmcguire:
I am not having that issue thanks kenyu73 v4 is perfect
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
LauncherPro. I may take it off and reload it tonight to see if that corrects the issue. Like I said, it's purely cosmetic, everything looks like it's working great. Thanks kenyu
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I'll play around with it, but I know LauncherPro and ADW never sat correctly because of the virtual buttons (in my testing). It'd have to flick the screen to get the screen to center correctly.

I'll reseach and see what I can find.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
The only thing I see is the left screen in landscape mode doesn't center when you first go from portrait to landscape. A quick flick centers it.

I've always seen this though. I don't see any issues with icons or widgets flickering or disappearing or anything odd like that.
[Gen8 Android Development] Hexidecimal:
Interesting. Must be something with my device. Ill install adw and see if its a launcherpro issue later this evenng. Thanks for testing on your end.

I've got a question about "No Froyo Market"

Does that mean, i can't download App-Versions, which support Froyo "App 2 SD"?

Thats a hardly needed Function for my Archos 70
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
@erichbitch so why don't you update to froyo?
[Gen8 Android Development] erichbitch:
I wanna update my Archos (get it Xmas) to Froyo 2.2 and then install gAppInstaller_v4

But in this thread is says:

What does that mean to me?

Can i only download Apps which arent movable to SD?

Or will i still be able to download Apps and move them to SD?

I don't understand what "Froyo Market NOT included" means to me
[Gen8 Android Development] chrulri:
It means, that apps like YouTube aren't included in this package. You can download them later with the Market so there is no reason to include them in the installer package
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
Hi Cajl

thanks for response.

I have nothing installed on it. The internal memory is 6.9 gb.

system memory is: 3.35 MB

why is this happening?
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
-Misread question- feel free to delete this post
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Which option did you choose in the gAppsInstaller? Did you choose 'core and apps.zip'? Do you have a 'apps.zip' file on your internal memory??

Noboby should really be using the apps.zip unless they know what they're doing. I recommend a reset via settings or via power/volumn then do it again and make sure you choose "core apps only"
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
There's also a possibility that he didn't do a full reinitialization, thus possibly leaving stuff from previous install.
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
greatly appreciate your response.

I believe i chose the 'core apps only' option. i didn't download the apps.zip that you post online.

I will give it another try. but i've been doing power/volumn up all the time, before each trial...

usually i don't have problem replicate you guys' wonderful work, this is the first time that i feel very helpless and frustrated.
[Gen8 Android Development] MoonPhantasm:
Ah ouch. That's weird.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
It's something with your devices root file system, it must be. Perhaps doing a firmware format/re-install would clean up the issue.

Here is a link to the reformat instructions - http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=42036
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
Kenyu

Thanks for the great work and thanks for your response.

That's the instructions that I followed all this time.

I format the thing before every trial...

could it be a hardware issue? when I was in 2.1, it crashes constantly. that's why i decided to give 2.2 a try..

this time, i did format + reset android + reset android/storage.... we'll see what happens.
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
this is not related to the market hack, but after format the device,

I copied the aos file onto my 101. hit OK. But it says 'update failed (207)'

What's this mean?

format again, and this time the installation of firmware started, but it's been hanging at the restart screen for a while now...

how long does it usually take to do an appropriate firmware update? it doesn't seem to go anywhere.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
you should really ask that in a new thread or on the existing on over at ArchosForums.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
It could be, perhaps your file memory is damaged. That's why I suggested the reformat firmware (aos) method. Hopefully it can fix it if its only corrupted.If that doesn't then contact Archos support.
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
OK. Thanks.

Shouldn't the device return to 'initial' state after a format?

i am quite confused. I will post a new thread and on the archosfansforums.

Thanks.

btw, after format and reinstallation, the system available storage is 5.21 MB.

is this normal?
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Where are you seeing this available storage?
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
Hi

It's

Settings - > storage -> System storage (very bottom)

it says 5.21 MB

what's a normal number?
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
My System Storage says 136mb and I have alot installed.

I see you posted over at ArchosFans, so its prob best to follow though in that thread as not to high-jack this one.
[Gen8 Android Development] erichbitch:
Any idea when we can get the "new" Market?
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
There's tons of places to download the new Market, but its not as easy as pushing it and replacing the existing Vendor.apk. I've tried briefly. If you want to d/l and try yourself, then goto my link in the OP and choose to view "all downloads".
[Gen8 Android Development] mrkniceguy:
So far v3 is rockin' for me. Is there any special reason to jump to v4?
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
v4 contains framework files that stop alot of Market apps from FC'ing.
[Gen8 Android Development] xShadoWxDrifTx:
I've got the new market working my device.

I just downloaded an .apk of it and it works

I had to do the market fix to view all apps again once I installed the new one

Maybe gAppInstaller_v5 will include the new market? :)
[Gen8 Android Development] monkeydrufy:
also for me:cool:
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:

Hi I know this has been asked and answered somewhere before, but I just couldn't find it anymore...

I have just did a full reinitialization (not the press button method) and install v4, everything works fine, except that the market doesn't update itself to [newer version]*. It still shows 1.82 on my device...

How do I resolve that?

I remembered last time when I installed v3, it gets updated to [newer version] automatically, but not this time. I'm not sure why. Anyone knows what triggers it to update (or not update)?

*It's the version before 2.2.6, I just coudn't remember the version number.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
It still updates, but it caches the newer Vendor.apk in some shape. If you noticed, it has the newer "similar" tab.

I've been trying to find how/why its doing this, but I haven't figured it out yet.. /=

It works, so that's all that really matters, right? ;)
