Thanks for the help!

I copied the apk files into the system/app folder

Then, using Root Explorer, I copied the wpa supplicant file into the system/bin folder.

Now, do I have to do something to install the apps?

When I click on gmail or market, the screen flashes white for an instant like it's loading and then reverts back to normal.
[A7 General] hoagm:
was thinking that too... chmod 755 on Vending and all 3 HTC apks didn't work. Still getting stopped at the TOS screen.
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
Bummer. Funny about your next tactic, I swapping out files from the gtab.zip for the CM package, one by one. I figured, if it was my HTC/TOS files that were causing the problem, maybe Vending and some others should be from the same zip :dunno:

[A7 General] hoagm:
Found a reference to the TOS error on Phandroid. Not encouraging (but I'm not convinced this is the problem either)...

"Resolved. You need to insert a sim with mobile minutes. Turn off WiFi. Once you sign into the market. Switch off, insert your sim, switch it back on, sign in. Turn on WiFi, If you get a network error message keep pressing retry and it should go through."

Help

Could someone share with me the in-stock framework.jar please? I copied the one from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877752 into the system and now the system doesn't boot any more, it get stuck at the text Android and goes no further. I think I have to make an update.zip myself and restore it from recovery.

Other thoughts:

I used wifi adb and found the following error when trying to auth with google:

12-23 11:24:10.739: ERROR/CheckinTask(1063): java.io.IOException: Rejected response from server: HTTP/1.1 400 invalid hardware identifier: "xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx" is not a valid MAC address (expect 12 hex digits)

This is a known issue documented here: http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/ZTE_Blade_2.2

maybe this is the reason why we cannot auth with google?
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
Give me your email addy and I'll send it to you.

Where/when did you see that MAC error? I haven't seen anything even close to that. I kinda doubt that's our issue, but who knows.

Billy
[A7 General] hoagm:
Ok, I'm 99% sure the market problem is that it's trying to talk over the cell network not wifi. Obviously that doesn't work on a wifi only device. I've found lots of references to various settings in build.prop, but I'm still struggling.

Another symptom that leads me to believe this... I still can't add google accounts via the "accounts & sync" settings.

banging away, I feel close but just can't find that last piece.
[A7 General] hoagm:
@awsumopossum

Can you please post your build.prop? perhaps that can give us some insight.
[A7 General] Dexter_nlb:
if you find something who knows about making mods, you're welcome to use my FolioMod as reference.. we got almost the same platform and based on Nvidia/Malata hardware... so if you extract my binaries it might just fix the issues you see.. we got it all working, and yes, the MAC was one of the problems.
[A7 General] unicough:
I sent you a message with my email address.

I followed the steps here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209 and then get the same error which most folks on this thread hit, which is the google login wizard runs fine and it let me input my gmail account, but when it came to auth with google server, it said cannot get a reliable connection. Then I opened adb through wifi and watched the logcat, that was the error shown during auth process. Later on I googled for the information on this error, found some other tablets got similar issue, something like the google server is accepting 12 hex digits as MAC address instead of the one with '.' in them.

question: maybe its been asked within the 48 pages, but since this is rooted out of the box, and superuser and titanium can be installed...

any chance that i could just move the backup folder over and restore some of the apps? or since they came from the market place origionally its still going to look for it?
[A7 General] Canadoc:
Ok just got in to Florida and unboxed my Elocity A7. the screen is definitely better than the gtablet!!!! Off axis viewing is much better and I fdont get the bad 3D polarized effect in portrait mode.

Thing seems snappy out of the box.

Was looking around in setting and the included Dev app and came to a few conclusions:

1) no question this is a compal Naz-10 device as there is even an app in the dev tool titled as such. If so it makes me hopeful this can do more real multitouch.

2)In the 10 minutes I played with it then looked at battery settings, it would appear that 37% of battery drain during that time was due to the cell radio looking for signal. It spent 100% of time looking (Am curious has anyone tried to put a sim card in?)

3)AND THIS COULD BE A BREAKTHROUGH IF SOMEONE CAN TEST:

It seems most people failing the google market login seem to think google is waiting for a cellular data connection that isn't there. It means there must be something about our device that is installed in software perhaps that is telling google to expect a data connection. Maybe it is the telphony process? maybe it is because the android software is acting like there is a radio so google is expecting a data connection.

I propose a few ideas I can't try tonight given the unit isn't charged yet and just spent 9 hours between airports and flights.

Try to put phone in airplane mode with wifi on then connect to google and see if it works. Or if more daring copy the telephony and other telephone related apk to somewhere safe as a backup . Then remove them form the system app folder and reboot. this might fix the google problem or at least prevent the battery drain looking for a cell radio.

I will wait till tomorrow and the update before doing anything.
[A7 General] Canadoc:
I would say you could copy the titaniumback folder and app to the device and restore apps. I would caution you to only restoere user installed apps and not any system apps from your previous device.
[A7 General] hoagm:
I already tried airplane mode, it didn't work. I thought about removing the telephony and phone apks, but haven't tried it yet.
[A7 General] unicough:
No luck yet, nobody has yet sent me that file. I tried extracting framework.jar from one of the g tablet update.zip but still cannot get my A7 boot again.

Can you also send me the following files (if they exist on your A7)? /system/lib/libimageutils.so, /system/lib/libinterstitial.so, /system/lib/libspeech.so, /system/lib/libzxing.so, /system/lib/libvoicesearch.so

I wrote my update.zip based some other's and I found it accidentally deleted the above .so files... Seems like I was having a day out of luck...

The first thing I will do after I can successfully boot my A7 again is, I will back the entire /system directory.
[A7 General] hoagm:
I've pulled apps from my Incredible and moved them over. But just the apks, no user data. Works great (but not all apps work)

Market success!

I just received my A7 on Tuesday and have to admit I was a little disappointed in the feature set of the tablet. I love to tinker but have absolutely no coding skills whatsoever. I was bound and determined to make this tablet useable so I started researching android hacks to add all of the Google apps that were not included. That brought me to this forum. First I tried downloading individual gapp apk's with no success. I then tried the Archos gapp installer, again with no success. Then I tried the Cyanogen tegra update.zip from recovery. No luck. Then I tried iinstalling the individual apk's from the Cyanogen tegra update.zip. Only some of them installed and only a portion of those installed actually worked. One of the files thhat worked was Google Contacts. I set it up using my Microsft Exchange login successfully then tried to enter my Google login info. It wouldn't accept the Google info. I was somewhat hopeful that a solution was discovered when I read awsumoposum's post stating he got everything working including the Market but was concerned when no one else seemed to bee able to duplicate his results. I finally had a chance to try out his instructions from post #421 and am happy to report that I have everything installed and fully functioning from the Cyanogen tegra update.zip. The Youtube app didn't work after install but I downloaded it from the Market and it works. The initial Android setup didn't work but somehow, maybe from when I tried to setup Contacts, my Google account was stored and I successfully added it to Contacts and Gmail. The Market took several minutes to download the first app but after that it was very quick to download and install. I didn't have to mess with framework.jar or any other files. I just deleted the movie files, copied over system/app and added the modified wpa supplicant to system/bin. I also have to think that part of my success had to do with getting my Google account setup. So, hopefully this helps shed a little light on hoow to get gapps and market up and running. I know most of you are scratching your heads wondering why its not working.

Just follow awsumposum's steps in post #421 with the addition of getting your Google account setup and everything should work. Good luck!
[A7 General] hashbrown:
you cant actually install a simcard. there is a slot but its blocked off inside the case. Like some kind of plastic bar or fake card in the slot. Bummer, thought there was some use latter. Stupid though for StreamTV to put cell radio processes hogging up battery life and processor use with it a defunct sim slot.

There better be an amazing firmware upgrade tomorrow or else!
[A7 General] hoagm:
@jwheeler

Glad to hear you're working. What did you do between tries? Did you remove the failed apps? Clear cache? Factory reset?

I believe I'm at the same spot as you, but yours works and mine doesn't. Has to be what was done between failed attempts.
[A7 General] JeepFreak:
Most apps will work that way, but some of the paid ones won't work.

That is really good news for future battery life! Good find!

Some people have tried the airplane mode trick, but that does still give us some new routes to try. I'll let you know if I can figure anything out!

I totally thought I was on to something by downloading APNDroid to manually turn off the cell radio, but it looks like it doesn't even have the ability to (which is ironic since the A7 doesn't actually have cell service! :mad:

Yep this works, I just finished it myself. I think the missing key for me was the wpa supplicant.

One note to add, when I installed the APK's not all of them would install, there were about 3 or 4 that failed, but the market worked anyway once I got the wpa supplicant installed.

Seeing these inconsistent results, maybe just a subtle difference in the prodedure accounts for the different results.

Yes! Market

Ok, I am a complete newbie to this dev. stuff and wanted to thank you guys for all your hard work. Your install instructions were simple and concise enough that even I now have MARKET and You Tube!

One problem, now my memory (with all the apps copied to system/apps) is reduced to 4 MB of the 512MB available. I have deleted what I can, any advice/info as to what I can safely delete to clear up some space?

Also I cannot get Calendar to install, any thoughts?

I'm copying the apps from the app.rar file that was uploaded.. see if that helps

just noticed I have 2 market icons now... any idea why that might be?
[A7 General] bazbob:
I'm a newbie too and lookingforward to trying these apk replacements to get Market installed.

I think the space problem stems from the fact that mount point forthe microSD card itself is at /mnt/sdcard/sdcard instead of /mnt/sdcard.

I don't know if this is the norm on Android (I'm a linux guy) but it appears that StreamTV decided to symlink the internal mem storage to handle access's to /mnt/sdcard.

Perhaps we can just move all sdcard access over to sdcard/sdcard and use symlinks to do that.

Unzipped gapps

In root explorer, selected all

Copied all

Navigated to system/apps

Paste

Screen popped up saying welcome to your A7-040

Tap on the green icon to begin…

Enter google account login information. Hit Sign In button. "Signing in… Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to set up your account. This may take up to five minutes."

Pop up: Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (force close button is only choice) "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."

Backed out two screens to screen where it asked to set up google account. I chose Skip.

Back to desktop on A7. Opened Gmail. It opened!

"Add a Google Account. Selected Next. Entered account information. Same result as before, "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (force close button is only choice) "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services.

[A7 General] DroidxRage:
Jazzbone -

You need the WPA_Supplicant file too... once you DL that from the link on page 50:

-go to System/Bin on the a7 and rename WPA_Supplicant to WPA_Supplicant_Bak (just in case, good to save the original I think).

-Navigate to the BIN folder in the WPA archive you downloaded

-Copy the WPA_Supplicant file you downloaded into System/Bin

-Reboot

-You should be able to sign into Google then

Thanks, Droid. You read my mind. I had done that last night, so expected it to work. I just moved wpa again. Then, when I clicked on Gmail, I got a screen that says "Waiting for sync" at the top.

I clicked the menu button and it said "0 accounts" So, I chose to add account and signed in with my information.

The next screen, "signing in…" was successful!

Then, next screen said "Back up data"

Selected , "Next"

Then, "Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (force close button is only choice) " and after choosing that button, another pop up was below that saying "Sorry! The application Gmail(process com.google.android.gm) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. (force close button is only choice)

Underneath those popups is a screen saying " Your Google account is now linked to this phone. Google appications are syncing data now…" Button to select "Finish setup"

Received both of the prior popup errors, "sorry! The application …"

Restarted tablet.

Selected Gmail.

Popup "What's new in Gmail?..." select "OK"

I now have Gmail!!!

Closed Gmail.

Selected Market

It opened!

Agreed to Terms of Service.

Loaded!

Installed an app!

Market works!

So far the only thing I can't get working quite right is Google Voice. Otherwise, Gmail, Maps, Talk, Youtube all work good.

Several minutes now, and no change, still spinning...

Edit: never progresses beyond Loading calendars screen...
