[HP Touchpad CM7 Alpha][Guide] Android Market

---

There is an update out that will fix the market as well as getting facebook. Thanks to joshts0 to bring it to my attention.

New:

"Anyone fix the many apps hidden in the market? Do we just need to modify the build.prop? What should we identify as.... guess I could just try some...



edit: Maybe if I were to look it up I would have found the answer, durr. But also, I just happened to refresh this morning, and I see 9 minutes ago there was a fix. http://code.google.com/p/cmtouchpad/issues/detail?id=65 . Is it okay to quote from there?
TS can you update the OP?

Old:
For those who do not know how to get the google apps on the Touchpad including the market place Here is what you need to do:

Assuming you already have CM7 installed (I followed "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XDmKGmn4vs" and got the files from the Youtube description) and have it all up and running all happy:

1) Download "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip".

2) Be running android on your Touchpad.

3) Connect the USB to your computer and Touchpad.

4) "Turn on USB storage" on your Touchpad.

5) Copy "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" to your root directory of your Touchpad.

6) Turn off "USB Storage", hold down the power the button and hit reboot, select recovery.

7) Screen should say "CMW-based Recovery v5.0.2.6. Use the volume buttons to navigate to "install zip from sdcard" (the sdcard is the memory built into the touchpad that is shared between android and webOS, NOT a REAL SD card) and press the home button on the bottom of the screen.

8) Now select "choose zip from sdcard", press home button.

9) Navigate to "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and press home.

10)Navigate to "Yes - Install gapps-gb.........zip. Should install.

11)Press power button and select "reboot system now", hit home.

Reboot into android and setup your google account. If the google account setup doesn't come up right try restating your Touchpad and see if it comes up. If nothing try to reinstall gapps again.

Sorry for being long winded but I wanted to make sure that my steps are clear.

Once you get the market place working you can get Netflix and many other app but remember that the CM7 is in Alpha. Most apps are not likely to work but some just might. Try it out.

I am experienced in android from 2 prevoius devices, but this never happened to me before.
Market is there, works perfectly, but once I try to install any app, it keeps Downloading the app forever and ever, I know this is not a CM issue, its Market or google issue, just wanna know if some of you guys have been in the same situation and did you find a solution.

After google I tried:

Deleting the market cache and data.
Reinstalling gapps via CWM.
Moving apps in SD to internal data then deleting .android secure folder
Uninstalling Market from Titaniumbackup and then re installing from it.
deleting cache/ dalvik cache.
Fixing permissions

None of those things worked...

From what I've seen, add "update-" directly in front of gapps, or whatever zip you wanna flash to the touchpad for that matter, works well.

I keep getting fc's its my first boot up and I've tried this about 5 times

I don't know what's wrong with your setup guys, but mine went flawlessly. I mean in 10mins I already had android on my tablet, incl CWM recovery + working gapps. Been playing with it for a few hours, had no problems, installed a few themes (honeycomb colors) and tried different launchers, overclocked it..
It's an amazing port, there are some bits and pieces that need to be fixed of course, but other than that i havent had any serious problems.

Just follow the instructions correctly and you should have any problems

Everytime I restart and hit recovery it just reboots into cm7 what am I doing wrong thanks

when you reboot hold down the volume up to get into the boot loader. Did you use the same guide I used?

I am having the same issue..

I believe we forgot to install moboot, could someone explain how to install after cm7 install thanks

just put the moboot file, the gapps and CWM zips in the cminstall folder
then run again ACME installer.
It will skip everything already installed and will go directly to your new packages.
Enjoy....


PD: nobody has an idea how to fix the never ending downloading from market...? I cant download anything... so frustrating...
