after first boot, turn unit off, and turn back on and boot into recovery again.
2A
flash the a7-gapps zip provided (remember to rename it to update.zip to work w/ recovery).
2B
CHOOSE FACTORY RESET (this wipes existing data that may conflict with install)
2C
REBOOT
congradulations, you should now have a FULLY WORKING MARKET PLACE.
UPDATED NOTES; this is the the 1.82 market that comes w/ the latest gapps for tegra from cyanogenmod (gapps-mdpi-tegra-20101020-signed). i patched it using the same smali patches applied in the patched market found in dexter's 1.2 rom, minus the androidmanifest.xml. this may account for it not autoupdating the market itself, but for today i'll take full market access on the old interface than limited access on the new market.
i tested this patched market to show "skyfire" and "qik" video players, and i added further build prop and permission settings that provided more search results; searching for 'gps' and 'video' results went up from 3300 to about 4500.
i intentionally did not provide larger apps like youtube, maps and twitter as they are downloadable from the market.
----
This is the google apps, libs and permissions that i extracted from cyanogenmod's gapps package and provided as a standalone update.zip for those wishing to have the google android market on their tablet, but not wanting to deal w/ a third party experimental rom requiring regular updates and wipes.
I hope you enjoy using the google market and applications with the latest stock rom. My wife does, and can now enjoy her working tablet w/ farmville.

new firmware available here: eLocity Customer Support

i dont think it will install on a new update from elocity, as they use a different test signature than i do. and the signature check fails..
did you test on top of original stock?
if you check logs you will see framework fails to install, as signature does not match, and package will be ignored.
so basically why i release a full image, as all apk + framework needs to be signed correctly.
but maybe you did something extra? different?

kinda covered all the details in the op. the gapps update i made flashed on the misses phone okay after flashing the latest firmware available from the elocity support site in the link at the bottom of my post.
i did also detail that prior to that i had manually wiped the cache partition and flashed the latest recovery image from said update using the nvflash tools from nvidia. i did this due to the device being bricked w the common recovery error about recovery.c and the cache partition. i was able to adb into the device tho, and upon seeing all the random apks and files having radio user or group permissions told me somethings wrong w the rom. when i reflashed said rom, i still observed odd permissions,group settings (ive been finding and fixing these in modroms lately), so i went to the latest stock, got my usb/sd functioning as intended, checked that the permissions didnt look screwey in stock (all apks and general files set to root,root where expected instead of root,radio, which were coincidently mostly your gapps) then decided to make my own gapps w your files by comparing the gapps package for my x10, since you must be building the rom instead of modifying to get/repair fc's in the settings apk.
no surprise gapps works on this tablet like an aosp addon, as the stock rom fits the same definition of being a rom free of google apps.
i do believe the latest firmware update has binary different/newer files than whats in your rom. the recovery image is a different size too. not sure if thats resulted from changes you had made, or just reflects that the update from elocity is newer than whats in your rom.
let me know if theres any other details i can help w. otherwise, regarding signatures; thats never been an issue for me and android. the elocity recovery appears to have no problem flashing w test keys, and ive never had to resign a modified apk for an android rom.
now if we were talking symbian, then i would have to resign. android doesnt care that i'm supplyin new apk's. maybe only if i'd modified an existing apk that android had already cached the keys for, or had exclusively modified an apk in an existing updatezip w/ out resigning the zip.

btw - thanks for the great rom for the misses tablet, mister dexter. also, analyzing your updates gave me the idea to redudantly assign permissions for every file in the install script, even tho one would assume all the files copied would be 644 by default, but sometimes being redudant is better than assuming.
EDIT: doublechecked, you did use a dated (1-07) recovery.img instead of the factory one provided w/ the newer rom you would have modded [original files dated 2-10, your modified files dated 3-20(boot.img) and 3-21(system.img)].

- as elocitya7 uses non-visible mmc partition for boot/recovery and only loong road solution with apx mode will enable it, i did not bother trying the new recovery..
- i suspect them to start using signed updates like folio100, and that means locked devices( for users without apx).
on the gapps-mdpi install,
i tried this on several models, and it always fail signature check for framework pack and network location provider at install.
the mdpi is made for cm7 with test-keys and somehow that seems to go wrong, maybe the framework failure is ignored and not crashing anything, but i do know they had some issues on gtab with it crashing like i just wrote, but it worked.
next, you got the stupid MAC address issue, which is fixed in the build of the framework..

i just used the gapps being present, fuctioning and allowing me to install some 30 apps and not breaking after reboot confirmation that they worked. hadnt checked logs, just eyeballed permissions were as they should be. root,root,644. market, mail and contacts worked offhand, start but couldnt complete google voice setup during the wizard where its suppose to change the tablets voicemail settings, but since those settings arent present in a tablet w out internal telephoney services i wasnt too concerned.
generally dont require resigning of apks in my dailey themeing/modding. read the general assumption is youre suppose to, but when thats required the system usually crashes and shows in logcat. i've only had the a7 work in adb mode while it was bricked/not booting to interface. havent been able to see the tablet under adb devices since, but hadnt tried before. was surprised the shell was full color w working ls -aFl options working, instead of just ls -l.

probably not relevant to point out that all testing was done over a wifi connection at home to a new 2wire wifi router on an att dsl connection. since you mentioned network connectivity.
the google account used is the same one used for another att android device. was interesting to see the tablet thru the android market on the web listed as a tmobile a7-040 device or something to that effect.

i might further update that sms text messaging services do work great on the tablet using google services w google voice even tho the setup wizard for google voice does not let you complete w/out the device having its own phone number.
i was able to text the misses and vice versa w no probs, even on fresh boot of the device. text messaging appears to work w internal text messaging activity in the contacts app, which you can text to a contact in the contacts menu.
tip; i created shortcuts on the home screen to text message using anycut to create a direct text message shortcut for the misses to conveniently text message me or her friend to our phones w ease, for free.
note; i could not use a third party text messaging app like handcent, and could not locate a messaging shortcut for message history.

Just so I can understand clearly.
What benefit does this provide over elocitymod?
How reliable is microsd/USB mounting/unmounting?

netstat_EVO; the current firmware from the manufacture is reasonably stable. in every experience, the manufactures software generally tends to demonstrate more stability than any rom developers, as they're providing your drivers and software written specifically for your hardware peripherals, instead of generic ones, or modified generic ones fixed to work the best they can for your devices.
my wife has experienced no usb/sdcard issues w/ the manufactures current firmware, and the biggest benefit experience from a third party rom (market/gapps addons) is still available to take advantage of the android market, as thats one of the main reasons folks see to using an android device. i can also say that she uses her tablet daily now (i'll have to post screenshots), and she hasn't had any wifi issues either. wifi resumes w/in 5 seconds from waking on newest firmware. some1 else didn't fix that(some folks reported problems in the past), it was already fixed, at least for my wifes device.
folks may have other opinions, but the primary reason i see for folks modifying roms on android devices (at least 3g ones tied to service providers) is that the service providers your buy your products from molest the firmware and load it up with unwanted software and restrictions.
this reason does not apply to the a7 tablet. the best route, for someone that doesn't want to read forums everyday and apply updates and patches every week would be to stick with the manufactures dependable firmware as a base, and run simple modifications and addons to that base.
..i still haven't had the time to disect the 3rd party rom the way i want to understand how much is based on manufacture software. i may do that this weekend and map out instructions for creating said rom based on binary comparisons to the manufactures rom, just for funziez. (its inevitable if it comes my way, i'm extracting and decompiling and mapping it out, because i have to know what changed. i do this to every rom i download.)

Nice, your wife is justification for just making gapps work
i like your reasoning here...

ayup. the misses made the effort after i got her the tablet to load her own rom, since she seen me doing the same for our other devices and noticed they tended to improve the quality of the devices we're running. i tend to have a preference for picking roms based on their stability, which generally tends to be roms based on the manufactures firmware, w the manufacture's drivers. sure, if it was a 2.1 rom, there'd be room for improvements in performance w/ froyo modifications.
catch is, its already a fast device w/ froyo on it plus a disappointing lack of a regular android market interface.
now, for someone who's happy with their tablet out of the box, and already enjoy using the android market, and all the apps they have to offer on their other android devices, this lacking feature is a serious let down for any android owner.
now, to add this feature, she discovers theres 3rd party roms that can do this, but as we know, they come without warranties. so the users get a support thread where they get to wait on a busy dev for their assistance w/ troubleshooting the various ins and outs of their rom or wade thru hundreds of support messages to fix their problem. whatta frustrating solution.
so, yes, i think my misses deserves to be able to enjoy her android device, and not have to be what i call a "romhead"; someone that has to flash a rom every other day in an effort to gain improvements and fixes over the last rom they just flashed.
i think that kinda stuffs great when theres a variety of roms and mods for your device to choose from, to see the various gains and differences in peoples software offers. i think its kinda sad when you just have to do it because you have no other options.
i've been getting some positive feedback, both in threads, pm's, and emails thanking me for providing those options. those are the other justifications for releasing a standalone gapps package. all relatable folks that appreciated another option, some thanking me for not having to run any more patches or fixes to keep their device going the way they'd like to enjoy it.
--
i might note, i hope you don't mind that i borrowed the gapps from your rom. i know all gapps get 'borrowed' from somewhere else.
thanks htc and google!
--
ps- thanks again mister dexter for your work. i appreciate any mods, roms, themes or apps folks can release that i can learn from. as i've stated, i reverse engineer everything i download thats posted freely online. if i make use of anything you've done for the device, i'm always happy to let folks know.

XDA is for sharing, i dont mind at all!
i wish i had personal reasons for this tablet, i just have the wishes of users, but its ok for me
On folio100 it was original a personal interest to make it better, and indeed it got better..
for those wanting a little more than gapps, the market is always open for graphics mod, hardware fixes etc..
Nvidia tegra2 platform is not as you say not worth fixing.. we lack proper rotation support although some new games are trying to read sensors correct now..
we need proper sdcard handling.. we need latest drivers from nvidia. and lastly all our early tablets lack better audio..
lastly: Android 3.0 is needed..
i think there's alot of room for improvement on top of stock firmwares. but not all users know its fixable or even need it if they are new to the platform..

Dexter; haha, I thought so. Seems most the popular rom devs are usually developing for devices they dont own themselves. pretty commendable.

FURTHER UPDATE: tried the mahimahi fingerprint, w/ the gapps from dex's rom provided in my first release + marketaccess, this does not work for full market access. i do have a gapps package w/ same fixes that will work. i'll try to get this out by tomorrow. i got yard work to do first today.
correction; this solution tests GREAT w my gappsv2 update. i'll update this later today. this does NOT work with my first upload/gapps provided in dexters rom. it may also be a combination of the build prop update WITH this app that gave me full access on my tablet.
theres an update in the original post w/ the link to the author's website of marketaccess.apk for access to the rest of the applications in the market.

okay, bumped for market patch. this update includes calender and text messaging applications. see first post.

Can the april firmware be flashed over elocitymod and then this patch applied? Im dying to get full market access!!
Edit: Just read your post on modmymobile and all my questions were answered!

for those more technical types; you can extract the vending.apk file from this update and install the market individually. suggested troubleshooting instructions to do this; dont ask for more details or expect positive results without a wipe, but its possible;
1
goto settings, applications, running services and stop all google framework services including the genie.
2
delete /data/data/com.android.vending*
3
replace old vending.apk w new vending.apk
4
reboot
those suggestions come w no guarantees or expectations beyond bricks and bootloops. if you need more details, then you dont need this on dexters rom until someone provides you a flash update to automate cleanup instructions before market update.

[Q] LT15i, out of options?

Details of handset:
LT15i, Android 2.3.3, Build 3.0.1.A.0.145, no SIM lock
I have this handset for about a year. It was never working smooth and I was surprised it was much worse than my desire when it comes to processing speed.
Well I've accepted it for the design reason.
Within time, processing speed degraded, phone been relatively cool at the back but was getting more and more often - restarts. Last week it crashed - after restart many icons and widgets were missing from he screen, most importantly some parts of the screens are not available any more to add there icon or widget - looks being occupied. When trying to hold-and drag -this eventually invisible element- normal menu appears to ad shortcut, widget etc...
Yesterday I've rooted phone, removed unwanted bloatware, but al problems remained [speed didn't increase]
Then I've checked can I unlock Boot Manager, by typing the service code - and I can't [no info in the menu]
My questions:
1. Is this all I can do about self-BM unlocking?
2. Can I still update old Adroid edition with flashtool-0.9.0.0 ?
2a. If yes what is [eventually] the best to update handset with
3. I found this info
http://www.androidauthority.com/xperia-arc-root-install-clockworkmod-recovery-77812/
it took me to this guide from this site
http://www.androidauthority.com/xpe...4-0-3-ics-mooded-aokp-aroma-custom-rom-93028/
Will I have benefit from installing CWM without unlocked BootLoader? Will I be able to install this ROM?
3a. Do I risk anything by copying this files directly into SYSTEM directory?
4. Can I do at this stage- "Factory reset" ? [after rooting]
5. Can I do at this stage- FOTA update? [after rooting]
6. What is gonna happen if I will try BL unlocking - even service menu says It is unlockable?
thank you for any help in sorting this one out
I have still 1 y of contract on this one
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After last long night I can answer some of this Q
1. More can be done
2. Yes
2. 4.0.4 ICS was the newest firmware I could find - and that could be rooted [important as I wanted to re-install apps from old System - with Titanium BAckup- and use handset without major interruption]
3. Installing apk didn't get me CWM - didn't try anything else
4. ?
5. From what I have read, FOTA after root is OK, but only if Sony's bloatware wasn't removed
6. ?

4.2 Keyboard and camera

Android 4.2 keyboard with gesture, its as good as swipe.
http://m.pocketnow.com/2012/10/30/android-4-2-stock-keyboard-now-available-for-download-unofficially
After installing go to languages and input and check Android Key board
Hope it will be useful.
Download and Install
Now, getting it on your device is going to be easy for some of you, and less easy for others. You'll need to be on Android 4.0+, to start.
If you're on a phone with a UI overlay that has the stock keyboard disabled (eg, Samsung TouchWiz, HTC Sense, Sony), you can just download the apk below- no root required. To install, make sure you have "install from unknown sources" enabled in your phone settings, and after installation, go into your phone's keyboard settings and enable "Android keyboard." Then, you can switch to the new keyboard. This may also work on some "stock" Android custom ROMs - but it will not work on stock Android builds distributed by Google.
Get the apk here: http://d-h.st/XuS
If the apk doesn't work, you're running a phone that is either A.) running stock Android (as in, AOSP), or B.) running software that has the stock Android keyboard as an option, you'll need to download this ZIP file, and flash it in recovery. That also means you're going to need root. as you'll be writing to /system/apps. Before you do, though, either back up the stock keyboard (if you don't know how, you probably shouldn't be doing this) or create a full image backup, just in case. Here's that ZIP file:

Change USER everything stops

Hey all,
I'm running the Last Paranoid Android Rom witch includes awesomes features like Pie controls/ per app DPI and different user sessions (the reason i chose PA).
The thing is, when i create a new user, i go to configure it, lock the screen, rotate it, select the new user, unlock the device and then boum ! Black screen, hundreds of pop ups show up like "Gmail has stopped" "Phase Beam has stopped" "Android Keyboard has stopped" and as i press ok, a new pop up shows up ! It's impossible to use another user so i Just lock the device and go back to my session.
So my questions are :
- is it an experimental feature ?
- Am i doing something wrong ?
- does some of you make it work ?
- if you do, what Rom are you on ?
Thanks in advance for your answers !
Sent from NeverLand

You probably didn't do a Factory reset before going to the Paranoid Android
Either that or the Nightly/rom you are using isn't very stable.

Hy,
I was on the PA 3.10 4MARCH First. When i flashed this rom, i did factory reset wiped data and caches. But then the update PA 3.10 6MARCH came out. I dowloaded it and flashed it. Since it's an update, no need to factory reset ou wipe data or cache.
Maybe that's the problem ?
I don't think it is cause i followed instructions from the official thread...
Thanks for your answer tho'

ION ROM/MOD Roger JB Stock Prerooted and Flashable in Recovery, UB/LB

This is my first Rom/Mod for Android, a flashable (in recovery) prerooted version of the latest stock Roger Jelly Bean for LT28i. Prerooted and debloated with extreme privacy in mind. Removed were all face book, all social apps, all google apps including gsf and others. I even removed stock Messaging and Conversations. I recommend instead K9 Mail and TextSecure both free and available on the internet.
Other than rooting and debloating, no changes have been made. Since Sony hasn't released the official non-branded jelly bean version for LT28i, this rom/mod should help the users.
Again, this is the latest prerooted Xperia LT28i Roger's Jelly Bean stock, which as of today still can't be rooted post installation.
WARNING: If you soft/hard brick your phone, it is NOT my fault. Do it at your own peril. If you feel like complaining, NSA might listen.
Usual Instructions:
1. Enter Recovery;
2. Triple Format (format System, Cache, Data)
3. Flash Roger zip.
If you were on JB Kernel before, you are done, just Reboot and enjoy.
If you were on ICS, don't reboot, instead turn off your phone and do the following:
4. Flash JB Kernel from either Rogers or LT28h stock ftf. Untick everything and exclude everything, but kernel.

I thought since I haven't made any changes to stock firmware, there is no need for screen shots. Once you reboot, you will see the usual JB screen and you'll have Superuser in your application drawer. You will also have E (as 2g), 4g (as 3g) and Lte, which is still smarter than AT&T's combined 4g icon. You will notice a much better battery life, especially that this disgusting google services framework that is basically connected to "home" all the time and records/transmits everything you do with your phone is gone. In my view, any "home" application, such as gmail, gplus, youtube, facebook or else, have just one purpose: to spy and record all your activities. You don't need those to access the associated services.

Here is a screenshot of my battery life. I am able to get 24 hours on a single charge with about 1 hour of voice calls over wifi and 4g, wifi on 24/7, 2 sip accounts active 24/7, moderate internet usage, messaging and K9 mail client on 24/7 (synching 5 mail accounts). Note WIFI taking 16% and Csipsimple (sip client) 13%. If I only use cellular voice calls, I get about 31-32 hours, which is pretty decent.
Moderators, I know you would want to move this post to the battery life section, but please don't, The purpose of this here is to illustrate my point on getting rid of social apps, google apps and google services framework and their effect on battery life.

looks and sounds really good!
but I'd recommend a better Rom name...for example slim stock jb or something like that...

Not sure the development section is the best place for a stock ftf file.
Yes I know it is pre rooted,
but DooMLoRd has made a windows script to root stock jelly bean.
And to get LTE you just flash the ICS lt28i baseband.
Also in order to get CWM recovery on your ION it needs to be rooted already.
For now, as this thread contains NO development, this thread is moved to the general section.

With all due respect, but
1. This is not an ftf file, but rather a zip flashable in CWM;
2. DoomLord's script CANNOT root Roger's LT28i jelly bean
3. Flashing LTE from ISC results in a buggy LTE connection, which indicates that apparently there are changes in JB LT28i radio
4. "in order to get CWM recovery on your ION it needs to be rooted already" That is true for any other rom/mod posted in development section. You can't get CWM unles you have root.
Right now, there is no way to root Roger's JB and the same is the only official release for LT28i. So, my mod/rom is the only way to have prerooted JB for LT28i (as opposed to LT28h).
Kindly return this thread to development section.

Thank you for great efforts, but this one is too clean that I cannot enable H/H+/E/G at non-LTE areas (not sure why). Without stock browser and google play causes nothing can be downloaded after boot. Is it possible to add them back? Many thanks. Without Busybox I cannot install CWM recovery for any local zip either.

This is my first Rom/Mod for Android, a flashable (in recovery) prerooted version of the latest stock Roger Jelly Bean for LT28i. Prerooted and debloated with extreme privacy in mind. Removed were all face book, all social apps, all google apps including gsf and others. I even removed stock Messaging and Conversations. I recommend instead K9 Mail and TextSecure both free and available on the internet.
To download, put your cursor on the file and click the arrow/download button on the right.
Enjoy.

OK. He posted that in Xperia S section, but his regular kit didn't do the job. That is why I made the pre-rooted version, which is also extremely debloated.
And please forgive me if you can for misspelling LT28 for LT29. Also, allow me to make a suggestion: get rid of the list of crossed out devices that you put in every post.

Thank you for great efforts, but this one is too clean that I cannot enable H/H+/E/G at non-LTE areas (not sure why). Without stock browser and google play causes nothing can be downloaded after boot. Is it possible to add them back? Many thanks.

For non LTE, you need to flash Roger basebands, i.e., flash it using flashtool: untick everything and exclude everything, but baseband. You will then have H/H+ and LTE. You can get naked browser, which is the best, at nakedbrowser dot com/android. This is the only browser that I know that won't connect to the internet unless you start it. Also, it wouldn't connect to a bunch of other remote sites for spying purposes, as all other browsers do (including firefox). You know that firefox gets its dough from Google, so they'll sell you out in a minute and for good. Nakedbrowser is also very fast (for the same reason as it only connects to the site you choose). You can download naked browser on PC, then transfer it to your SD card and install it there. Or you can install it with flashtool. Transfer the file to your c://flashtool/custom/apps directory, then start flash tool, click apk installer (curved arrow) and install it. Busybox is available on the internet.
You don't need googleplay to have any application that is available there. To have googleplay (and GSF- google services framework, which should be read as google spying framework) defeats the purpose of debloating. If you don't want to waste your battery and have your every activity recorded and transmitted to Google/NSA, you need to get rid of google play/gsf.

By the way, this is my latest battery usage: over 24 hours on a single charge and still left 10%. That including about 40 minutes of talking over sip, constant wifi, two active sip accounts, constant data, moderate internet usage, moderate messenger usage and synching 5 mail accounts 24/7.

tried it, had to go back to blackzax's due to the lack of play store and browser(I dont have wifi available at the moment and my internet pretty much sucks so i cant download the play store apk). Great effort, but maybe you could make another one with the playstore and a browser(or maybe just the play store).
Can you report any bugs on this firmware(aside from the ones listed on the bug thread).

Thanks for the suggestion
But ill pass on it

"Thanks for the suggestion"
My pleasure...

well...if you guys want Google apps,just install them manually. it is not that hard. this his the Rom by optimumpro and we should be happy that he has shared this Rom.

That's right. Google apps are widely available including xda site. But installing them would defeat the purpose of this room. In other words, if anyone wants Google apps, they don't need my mode/rom.

This is what it is.
If you don't like it,
or don't agree with how it was made,
or want to complain about it,
TOUGH LUCK.
THREAD CLEANED.
