I did a reset without erasing personal multimedia files.

I am doing a "Full Reinitialisation" of the device right now (again) but with the erasure of everything.

I hope it works this time.

I side loaded the v5, run it, rebooted.

Run the market exactly like int he posted video, cleared cache, force off etc....

Did not work for me :(

I still cannot find the applications in the market.

Menu > Setting > Privacy

In other android devices running froyo I'v seen this Menu > Setting > Privacy

It does not appear on the A101IT. Is this something that can be added trough the gapps.

It should enable you to do some sort of backup and restore of some settings to google.
[Gen8 Android Development] buldamoosh:
I can definitely confirm that this will work on a brand new 70 IT. Here are my procedures EXACTLY:

1) Reset to Factory

2) Reboot and configure wireless setting then connect to wireless

3) Install gAppsInstaller (Used 5.1)

4) Reboot

5) Go through Fix

6) Reboot

7) Make sure wireless is connected FIRST

8) Load Market

At this point it should run you through the Google agreements and whatnot then load the Market for you. I was unable to do this thoroughly while on my office's wireless. I haven't confirmed but I believe it may be due to firewall settings.
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
I think that is normal. The Market has its own database where it stores all the apps downloaded. If you sideload them, then the Market doesn't know they exist. Its only a guess though.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Maybe one app to include with the install is Flash.. it doesn't show up in the market. I found on another thread.

Adobe Flash Player 10.1.105.7 (105.7 is newer than 120.1)

[Gen8 Android Development] little-miss:
I just wanted to say thank you.

Was a bit nervous about hacking a new toy but it worked flawlessly!
[Gen8 Android Development] dljor:
works great so far.

can we uninstall the installer after the market hack?
[Gen8 Android Development] sequitur:
Ah... I can assure you all prior versions have worked as it would read to see what was installed. I noticed all the way back on the A5 IT that the market would self update after installing something and list applications that had been on the device or installed by appslib. So maybe it's something you missed? ;) Just wondering. I'm going to go ahead and manually install, but I also remember that when I tried to install something the market didn't see it would ask if I wanted to upgrade instead of just installing ham fisted. My primary concern is that I have programs that will not receive update info. For now I will try to catch them all, but it's worth looking into.
[Gen8 Android Development] jasdjensen:
loaded 5.1 after removing 5

I removed v5 and then installed v5.1 and that fixed the wireless location service. However, that broke my Market. So I tried uninstalling the apps then rebooting then reinstalling apps then rebooting. Market still doesnt work.

Am I going to need an android reset? I was hoping with the v5 certificate lock that it would no longer be necessary?
[Gen8 Android Development] Z4nd4r:
Does v5 fix the issues with Voice Search? I don't have my Archos yet (250GB 70IT just shipped!), but I want to know what to expect once it's here.

Also, does voice input work without Voice Search?

Thanks!
[Gen8 Android Development] ShadowZephyr:
So we can't install v5.1 directly over 5.0?
[Gen8 Android Development] ratickle:
v5.1 is actually older than v5-final?

I think the one you want to install is named gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk and is available here: code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/

From what I can tell, v5.1 is actually older than v5-final.

I think all of these were created by the unselfish hard work of kenyu73.

I did a reset before I installed gAppsInstaller_v5-final. Now Market works and Network Location works.
[Gen8 Android Development] jasdjensen:
5.1=5 final. It's the same thing we're both talking about.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Yes 5.1 is old.. then a totally new version was made and instead of going to 6.0 went back to 5.0.. probably because old 5.0/5.1 was only out for a few days. So gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk is the latest build.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
I have v5_final and Voice Search works, but does have an error on start, but then OK. I don't think that this error is related to the market though. I believe other apps that use voice recognition mostly use Voice Search's engine.

strange problem on archos 101

hi

i have archos 101 16 gb ,i installed google android market on it and it works perfect but why my apps downloaded in tablet memory i.e 300 mb why its not using my 16 gb internal memory if u have solution just tell me the steps so i can do it thanx in advance...
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
I'm not sure why only 300mb for apps.. I guessing the rest is available for photos and videos. I bought a 32gb SD card.. some apps can load on it.

[Gen8 Android Development] huntindog09:
Ive been having alot of problems with the Voice Search and I have gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk installed. Ive done a few full resets (full reinitialization) and still have the same result. Here's what happens: Once I open Voice Search it first always says "Audio Problem" and then itll let me speak and carry out the command. But I can tell its lagging and if I try to use a command such as "map of alabama", it will lag but open up google maps and then freeze. Then my whole device is unstable and I end up having to force shut down.

Heres what I have: archos 70, 2.071 (Android 2.2.1)

Anyone else having this problem?
[Gen8 Android Development] SDRebel:
can someone do me a favor and search if you find "espn deportes radio" app in the market in your archos? I have maps, gmal, youtube,etc (all but maps appeared before doing the market fix, i just did the market fix and maps now appears, espn still doesnt) but can't find it. I already have it installed in my cellphone, so can't see the requirements, but I have a feeling it may be needed GPS to determine location....can anyone see it?

I really want it :(

do you guys think there's a way to extract it from my cellphone to load it in my archos?

thanks :p
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
I can't get it in the market either, but you can download the apk from this site:

[Gen8 Android Development] termn8er:
Help please, I am afraid I screwed up and have to reset. I tried to update from V4 to the latest v5 and now I am getting the force close window for "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly".

Does this mean I have to reset? If I reset, do I lose everything I have installed and have to start again? I am really bumming....
[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
Unfortunately, yes.
[Gen8 Android Development] Robredo:
Have you got it all working? I was having similar problems. Eventually I gave up installing the Market. That's the problem with Android: so fragmented and so unfriendly. Unless one has 48 hours per day, it'll be difficult for a working professional to get it correctly while maintaining his healthy lifestyle :mad:
[Gen8 Android Development] termn8er:
I have the new market running and wondering why I can't find "Multipicture Live Wallpaper"? I was finally able to find it directly from the developers site, but just wondering why the search can't find this and are their other programs that I can't find? I did the reset and see things like Copilot.

Someone also said that it is there before the market fix, but not after. I don't get why this would happen.

Any ideas?
[Gen8 Android Development] Z4nd4r:
This is what I've been hearing over at ArchosFans. I love the functionality of Voice Search, but I hear it's running wild in the background right now.

Is this a problem with the market app, or with the Voice Search app?
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
How do I test to see if Network Location is working?

Edit:

I have done a fresh reset/install of v5.. done market fix.. that is fine, but Network Location isn't working for me. I even tried reinstalling just the NetworkLocation.apk

I tried the following apps and no location:

GeoInfo

Network Info II

Any ideas what could be wrong?

[Gen8 Android Development] YoMarK:
For me it's working fine.

New Archos 70, upgraded to latest 2.071 firmware from Archos website(after the firmware update and factory reset, the device froze though. After reboot it worked fine).

After that, i've installed gAppsInstaller v5, and rebooted twice. When connected to Wifi, Network location in Google Maps and Fancy Widget works.
[Gen8 Android Development] blazingwolf:
Been working fine on my 101 also.
[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:

Sure. Menu/Settings/Location & Security. Put a check mark in Use Wireless Networks.

Hi I just have my new Archos70 with 250GB hard disk and wish to install the latest programs. As I am a beginner but have been reading all the posts and comments here with updates all over the pages it seems pretty confusing. Can someone kind enough to compile all relevant updates and post one step-by-step procedure to help beginners like me? Thanks very much in advance. Happy New Year 2011. Regards.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:

[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Thank you YoMarK and blazingwolf for the replies. blazingwolf, are you also using the latest firmware 2.0.71? I sent an email to Archos.. still no reply. I'll wait another day for Archos tech support.. if I don't get a reply I'll try another reset. I was hoping I was done with those though.

Thanks,

[Gen8 Android Development] stephen44:
no not on the archos - i meant in my google account ?

[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Well I got a reply back from Archos tech support.. they said, "This unit doesn't have GPS capabilities." I never even mentioned GPS. I asked for help getting wifi network location working. Oh well. I'll try another reset and see what happens.

[Gen8 Android Development] kenyu73:
It's funny how NetworkLocation doesn't work with a stock Archos, but mine works great with V5-final installed (after my last reset a few weeks ago). No special tricks to get it working. Reset, install V5-final and it just works.

Do you have "Use wireless networks" selected under "Location and Security" settings? Sorry if you checked this already.. I didn't read the last 30+ posts... ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] archos168:
Hi I downloaded gAppsInstaller_v5-final.apk and installed it via files app. Then I rebooted, but I cannot find Market in order to do the Market fix. What step did I do wrong? It was a new Archos70 250GB first time installation does not work so I reset Android following the instructions here and re-install gAppsInstaller_v5-final, still Market application does not turn up. Please advise. Thanks.
[Gen8 Android Development] Z4nd4r:
Are you running the latest firmware (2.2 FroYo), or are you still on 2.1 Eclair (what the Archos comes with, stock)? I believe this is only for devices running FroYo.
[Gen8 Android Development] archos168:
Firmware comes with the stock.
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
Free update to 2.0.71 (2.2.1)

Settings > About device > Firmware update
[Gen8 Android Development] archos168:
Tesla thanks for reply, do I install gAppsInstaller first then update to 2.0.71 or update firmware first? I tried to reset Android, re-booted, then install firmware from 2.0.54 to 2.0.71 it says updated but when i rebooted again and check, the version is still 2.0.54

Edit: I managed to update firmware to 2.0.71 now, let me reset Android and start all over.

Hi all, if my market fix does not work, can you just repeat market fix itself or do I have to reistall gAppsInstaller all over again?
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
@archos168

It should work now! Don't forget to do the Market fix on page 1.. you'll have to do this twice or more to get all the non protected apps. My test is to search for Google Maps. Keep repeating (including reboot) until Google Maps show up in the search.

@everyone

I figured out my Network Location problem. The reason it doesn't work is not software, but my actual location is not in the database. It uses MAC addresses not IP - strange! I live out in the country. I'll have to go into town and test to make sure, but from what I've been reading this is the problem.

Also, from what I've read, for my router mac to get added to the database.. someone with an android phone with gps and wifi has to be in range of my router and my router has to be public (non-secure) or I would have to setup wifi on the phone.

An alternative to Google's Network Location is Skyhook. It works the same way, but not many apps for Android yet. Motorola uses Skyhook on their phones.

Archos 28??

First of all I would like to say thanks to kenyu73 for this market hack, it really makes these gen8 devices more usable...when it works...(which it does most of time ;) ).

But I have been having some problems with it, on my Archos 28... First of all is it compatible with the Archos 28?

(Because I know most persons have Archos 70/101/43 and thats what they run it on.)

Also I have some apps missing..which I can live with, but in my market NON of the Google Apps (Gmail, Youtube, and Google Maps) show up, which was actually the reason I installed it.

I have repeatedly tried the market fix to no avail... (3 times) and done a full reinstall.

Is there any link to download the latest version of the apks for those three apps, and install it through file manager?

Hi all currently on my Archos70 I have only 4 pages to allow me to put my short cuts.

Questions:

1. How can I add more pages of screens?

2. How can I remove the movie history screen which takes up almost 1/3 of one of the screen?

Thank you.

This is off topic.. you should find proper thread or start a new one. I use Launcher Pro which will give you 7 screens. You can delete items with a long touch (touch item until highlighted) and then drag to the garbage can.

Just upgraded from v4 to v5-final. Tried to do without a reset. Market is not working, as I do not even have Google Services Framework showing up in my applications-all list. I used gappsinstaller to remove files, try again, reboot, but go the same result. Question: Is there any way for me to move forward (get market working again) without going back through a reset?

*Update: Still can't figure it out. I removed files, rebooted, replace gappsinstaller with v4, ran, rebooted, and I get market and framework back again. remove file, reboot, replace gappsinstaller with v5, run, reboot -- market with no framework. Let me know if you have any ideas.

Does "Voice Search" work for you?
[Gen8 Android Development] matyoka:
Got my 16 GB Archos 101 a couple of days ago and It was allready upgraded to 2.2. I had a helluva time starting Market on it as gappinstaller4 gave me an error that it was made to work with Eclair. I found v_5 and finally the Market started working, however I cannot find Voice Search, Zema, Thumb keyboard or just other simple apps I have acces to on my HTC phone. It didn't come with Voice Search which is an awesome app and very practical, however I was able to sideload one. It freezes up all the time at the beginning of starting it... My question is, why am I missing so many cool apps from the Market? It seems that only a portion of the market is available. Thanks for all the input and info.
[Gen8 Android Development] matyoka:
First off, my Archos 101 didn't come with one. After sideloading an older version I guess, I get 3-4 server error messages and it starts up just fine after that.
[Gen8 Android Development] Pete917:
worked perfectly, but I had to reset my Archos 101. Thank you. Should I delete the gappsinstaller after Im done or leave it there?

Hi,

Have you done kenyu73, any more testing on NetworkLocation - to know when, or where it's working? I've tried today install your apps set on UrukDroid - and whatever I did, I was unable to get netlocation working. Even on completely fresh install (same kernel as stock, just copied stock rootfs files, completely empty data) - all the time it fails to work... I'm out of ideas ;)
[Gen8 Android Development] Tesla74:
I had the same problem. Google's NetworkLocation works by storing locations matched with a MAC address in their database. It isn't based on the IP address. Their database finally got my MAC address from my router and now it works. I believe the way it gets put into their database is by having an Android device nearby your router that has both Wifi and GPS enabled, but I'm not sure how mine got in their database as I don't have an Android phone. It didn't work for about 2 weeks and then all of a sudden it started working. If you go to a busy area where there are a lot of people and Wifi, it should work with no problems. I'm still not totally clear on how it works, but that is what I got from my Google search.

I hope that helps,

Tesla

I think because I am running 0.5 Uruk on my Internal that it is conflicting.. Is this possible? I am getting force closes when I try to install from Market on Stock...

Can you have the market on the Stock, and also on Uruk 0.5??
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
When I installed Uruk 0.5 the other day, I already had Kenyu's market hack installed on my Stock Android installation. I forgot to remove it before I did the 0.5 install. After I had done the install, including the "copy data" command, I then had the Market in Uruk too. It obviously copied over correctly along with all the other apps.

This was on sdcard, of course, I've not done 0.5 on internal.
[Gen8 Android Development] sublimejosh2000:
Other Gmail

I used another Gmail account to get it working. Everytime I tried to use the same one as on my Uruk, it would force close and never work.
[Gen8 Android Development] sweetypie:
Could this be because your 0.5 install is an upgrade from 0.4, rather than a clean install? I had a "clean" Market install on my stock setup, and did a clean 0.5 install from there. The good Market install was copied straight over. I didn't install the Market at all on 0.5, it was already there.

I do believe in a clean install wherever possible.

Upgrade

Mine was an upgrade. I just upgraded it to 0.6 for testing. Now all the nice smoothness of the new firmware 2.1.3 from archos and the JOY of Uruk are all combined. I am ditching stock once again. Uruk works smooth now as well.

Market did send me through the Google login again, but I just logged in and now have no issues with Market. (Although Uruk was my Original Gmail account.

My own experience after a fresh reset to 2.1.4 on Archos 101 - did the market fix once, and after it rebooted came up with new Market but could not see protected apps.
