MarketThis is a featured page

1st method

This process is tested on my AC100 running Froyo Android 2.2. The page will get updated with links to the required software later. This guide is not nearly complete, use at own risk. If someone knows how, it is possible to make a update.zip. This would make it as easy as "put zip on SD, reboot and load recovery, reboot and login to google account, start Market"

To get a working copy of Android Market, it is possible to copy some progress made on the Toshiba Folio and Elocity A7 tablets, wich are similar to the AC100's hardware.

Currently you need:
adb from the google sdk
USB driver from the sdk
USB hack to enable tegra support
SuperOneClick root tool (only works until next reboot)

Google apps mdpi for tegra from cyanogenmod
wpa_supplicant from elocity (folio version might also work, but untested) It is important to change permissions on this file

Once adb and the usb driver is up and running, connect the ac100 to your computer. Use SuperOneClick psneuter to initiate "shell root"
enter the ac100 with
"adb shell"
mount the /system partition with
"mount -o remount,rw -t ext2 <insert_partition> /system" <-Will get updated later with correct partition
"exit"

Create a zipfile containing Vending.apk, Google<something>framework.apk, Talk.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk, MarketUpdater.apk and wpa_supplicant
"adb push zipfile.zip /storage"
"adb shell"
"cd /storage"
"unzip zipfile.zip -d /system/app"

On the AC100, disable wifi
back on the commandline:
"cd /system/bin"
cp wpa_supplicant /storage
cd /system/app
cp wpa_supplicant /system/bin
cd /system/bin
chmod 755 wpa_supplicant

On the AC100, enable wifi, if it works then you might be ready to try to logon to the google market. If wifi doesn't work, then there is a permissions problem
Note, the wpa_supplicant from elocity will not show your current wifi signal once you're connected to a wifi network.

This is all for now, I will complete this guide on a later date.

2nd method

First root your device in order to be able to edit /system/app directory. You can follow this website's guides. What I did was using "psneuter" to get root access and then move Superuser.apk and su (unix executable) to /system/app and /system/bin respectively.
This guide is adapted from tharf (thanks to him!!) on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11917503&postcount=5
2] Extract it.
3] Replace YouTube.apk with the one from there :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11917503&postcount=5
4] Use this bash script where your adb executable is (change FOLDER variable to the name of the extracted gapps folder:
[code]
#!/bin/bash
FOLDER=system-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed
./adblinux devices
echo "push $FOLDER/etc/.."
./adblinux push $FOLDER/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml /system/etc/permissions/com.google.android.maps.xml
./adblinux push $FOLDER/etc/permissions/features.xml /system/etc/permissions/features.xml
echo "push $FOLDER/app/.."
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk /system/app/GoogleBackupTransport.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/NetworkLocation.apk /system/app/NetworkLocation.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GenieWidget.apk /system/app/GenieWidget.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/YouTube.apk /system/app/YouTube.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/MediaUploader.apk /system/app/MediaUploader.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/Talk.apk /system/app/Talk.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk /system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/MarketUpdater.apk /system/app/MarketUpdater.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GoogleFeedback.apk /system/app/GoogleFeedback.apk
./adblinux push $FOLDER/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk /system/app/GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk
echo "push $FOLDER/lib/.."
./adblinux push $FOLDER/lib/libvoicesearch.so /system/lib/libvoicesearch.so
./adblinux push $FOLDER/lib/libspeech.so /system/lib/libspeech.so
echo "push $FOLDER/framework/.."
./adblinux push $FOLDER/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar /system/framework/com.google.android.maps.jar
[code]
5] Factory Reset your device (HOME + POWER buttons simultaneously)
6] Market should be working, otherwise re-factory reset

dietricl Error 492 - Android Market app at download 0 Jan 8 2012, 12:17 PM EST by dietricl
Thread started: Jan 8 2012, 12:17 PM EST  Watch
Hi, as this page had help me a lot, I would like to share something with you ... using this page ...

When the Android Market app 3.4.4 was starting the download of an app it failed after a few seconds with error "could not be downloaded due to error 492". Searching on the internet I found some Asian page which contains the solution ... execute "chmod 777 /data/download". After I had execute this statement under adb shell, I had been able to install apps without any problems on my AC100 (with the OS update from July 2011)

Kind regards,

dietricl

Background:
A few month ago I bought this AC100. Running Froyo and having Android Market app installed base on the instructions of this page. My system was running fine. Then I installed the lastest OS update. The Adroid Market app was no longer working. After some struggle I gave up and installed version 3.4.4 . That's when I run into this error 492. I look into the system messages using command "adb logcat" and found the following:
D/DownloadManager( xxxx): FileNotFoundException for null : java.io.FileNotFoundException: /data/download/downloadfile.apk (Permission denied)
D/Finsky ( XXXX): [X] DownloadQueueImpl.notifyProgress: com.opera.browser: onProgress 0/0 Status: 492.
Searching on the internet I got only hits for asien web pages. I looked at one ( http://logsoku.com/thread/hibari.2ch.net/mobile/1298556348/ ), I did understand nothing ... but I found the same error message "... (Permission denied)" and a chmod statement. I run the chmod statement and after this action ... the download and installation of apps is working!

kingy110 Problems accessing market (froyo) 1 Jun 21 2011, 6:10 AM EDT by jarkor

Hi everyone - my first post into the forum. I have had an AC100 for some months now and am tired of not having access to the android market. I tried searching for ways of accessing the market and tried nai1sirk's method.

I rooted my (android 2.2) ac100 using the SuperOneClick for windows (after unsuccessfully trying both the ragagainstthecage manual method from linux and SuperOneClick from linux using mono first). SuperOneClick worked fine on win7 64-bit (once I manually loaded a suitable driver for the ac100 from the PDANet package).

I ran into some problems following the nai1sirk method as I didn't have unzip on my ac100 at the time (so I instead used adb to push the necessary files to /storage one at a time and then dd to move them to the /system/app area (after I had remounted it rw) and changed their permissions to 644 so that they could be read at startup).

I couldn't get the wpa_supplicant to keep my wifi connection up so I tried continuing with the original.

After launching the market app I was met with a screen saying "Add a google account" (a big leap forward!).
Hitting "Next" I was taken to a screen where I could choose to create a google account or sign in to an existing account.
After logging in with my google account details up came a screen saying "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers to setup your account. This may take up to five minutes.", this was eventually followed by a screen saying "Can't establish a reliable data connection to te server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
I tried this a few times and also tried the "Create" a google account option with some random names and the same sequence of screens followed and "no connection could be made to the google server".

Any ideas?

you may look about this, its copied from xda

I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps...downloads/list and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:

Into /system/app/
GenieWidget
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleFeedback
GoogleServicesFramework
MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation
Talk
Vending
Youtube *

Into /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.jar

Into /system/lib/
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so

Into /system/etc/permissions/
features.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.

Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.

The third launch should be the right one !

You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market
Gmail can be installed from the market.
Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.
