I didn't update my apps for about 2 weeks since I was more or less in a permanent network trouble. When I now try to update my apps, it's always said, the downloas are about to start, but they never do...
I am running froyo 2.2 and app 2 sd - no idea what's wront here...
hope somebody could help me out!
thx
Very occasionally my downloads stall and to fix it I generally:
1. Cancel all downloads
2. Check that I'm logged into Talk
3. Start the downloads again
This usually fixes it for me.
Regards,
Dave
I also had this from time to time and usually after a reboot it worked, but this time it already persists a while and the updates are getting more n more.I also thought that I started too many at once. But also a single one won't start...
By talk you mean gtalk? Why is that?
Thx
Essentially (and rather simplistically!), for many services, the OS uses the GTalk protocol to communicate with the device.
Regards,
Dave
Didn't know that. How do I check? if I click in the freak icon after a second I'm back on the desktop with that icon. Does that mean I was logged in?
Me too...I'm having problems to update my applications and when I click on Google Talk the application makes me return to Home
Any problems with Google servers???
Thanks
GTalk is working fine for me, so I suggest posting a logcat for the period when you attempt to sign into GTalk.
Regards,
Dave
I assume a logcat is a certain type of logfile? How do I generate this?
thx
If you have ADB setup on your PC, you can simply connect your phone via USB and type ADB LOGCAT in a command window (you need to have USB Debugging switched on). If you don't have that, you can download an app (e.g. aLogCat).

no, haven't installed this. Is it also necessary to install it on the phone or just on the computer?
installing on the phone would be quite cynical
help folks!

Yes.
There's nothing to install on the phone, you just need to enable USB Debugging from the Development menu.

Right, i experienced exactly the same problem shortly after doing update to 2.2. I've read somewhere (if i find a link, i'll post it here) that update from 2.1 to 2.2 doesn't carry personal data and settings transfer very well.
Tryed restore to no luck.
My fix.
1.Format memory card first.
2. factory restore
3. format memory card again (in case it managed to back up my settings after 1st format and before restore)
4. factory restore (in case back up happend and it managed to restore my settings)
5. sign in to google ******@GOOGLEMAIL.com , even though my e-mail IS @gmail.com and it shows @gmail.com on the phone.
No problem since
Hope no 3 and 4 make sense to you.
Hope that helps.
There you go

As you can see i simplified procedure a lot.
still trying to figure with the ADB.
I am stuck with the USB drivers - can't find them in the download package as described
Finally, you need to install the USB drivers. Again, the instructions are present in the SDK guide as well, but here’s how you can do it. Please note that my device was a Samsung GT-i5700 Galaxy Lite, and since I had Samsung drivers already installed, this didn’t happen to me. The procedure I am describing here is theoretical and taken from the SDK manual.
The drivers for both x86 and x64 systems are present in the SDK, under <sdk>\usb_driver\x86 and <sdk>\usb_driver\x64, respectively.

I'm really in need for help - more and more apps are getting out of date and I can't update them! I just don't know where to find those mentioned USB drivers!

Try my fix. Yes, I know, you will have to start from scratch with the phone, but it's worth it.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I appreciate your help - but I'd really loive to check within the logfiles what's exactely wrong, dause that could trace the root and help others instead of just starting all over.
I'm just surprised that there's little response out here...
Hi there,
I registered here today hoping you guys could help me out. I bought my daughter a tablet called Kurio. Its Android v. 4.0.3 and I would like to Root it but regular google searches and occational YouTube-videos confuses me rather then helping out.
kurioworld.com .... check out this website to get a closer look on the tablet, and perhaps come up with a solution ?
As the Tablet runs today its not compatible with a lot of games, and im not able to connect the device to Google Play Android App store.
Thx for reading the post, I really hope you can help me out.

I also got the Kurio for my daughter today and got quite mad when I noticed that Google Apps wasn't there. I guess they havent been approved by google or something. I can't see any other reason why google apps is left out.
I tried the alternative market (1Market) but the first thing I saw when I opened it was a porn app. So I removed it quickly. Then I tried installing Amazon appstore. Worked well but I'm not allowed to buy apps here in Norway. Quite irritating.
Finally i found a way to get apps from Google Play into the Kurio. This requires that you have another rooted android device with gapps:
1. Install Shark App backup & restore on your second android device.
2. Install the apps you need.
3. Back up the apps you want placed on the Kurio with the Shark app
4. Remove SD Card from your phone/tablet/whatever and insert it into the Kurio
5. Enter Android mode on the Kurio, open the File Manager, navigate to /sdcard/AppManagerProMax
6. "click" on the apk's you want to install.
Works like a charm. My daughter will be happy to see minecraft PE on her Kurio in the morning.
I did this on a HTC Sensation with CM10.

Hi there,
Thx for taking the effort to give me a possible solution. Unfortunately I dont access a rooted phone, so there you go
Btw, I`m from Norway to, so I guess we are stuck in the same boat here. I tried amazon myself, but as we discovered ...
As for now, Piratebay is by far the best "shop", most of the files there actually works fine with the Kurio.
Plz dont hesitate to contact me if we could find solutions to this problem.
Actually it might be better to use email ..... we could even speak Norwegian ,
You can reach me at stigolsen(alfakrøll)gmail.com.
I think I will give Kurio a couple of weeks tops, before I put out an Ad at Finn.no. Right now I would much rather own the Nexus 7 to be honest.
Cheers

Simply contact costumerservice through the website kurioworld.com. I asked for a way to root the Kurio, instead they sent me a zipfile with content needed to get the Google store without rooting.
Came with instructions, and whole thing was done in 5 minutes. No hassle, everything just works flawless. Finally the Kurio seems worth keeping.
The name of the file is : Install_google_play_allwinner.rar

Ok.. The hacker in me just woke up. He has been dormant for 15+ years.
I got the file from the Kurio guys at the same time as I got your email. And the script worked.
During the script output I noticed that it said "Removing root" or something. That means that the script roots the device, installes Gapps (including Google Play) and then removes root.
The script is a simple .bat file with a bunch of adb commands. I found in clear text how to root the device. When i get the time I will write up an article on how to root the Kurio.
Then I will start figuring out how to get another Recovery installed on the device. From there on, who knows, maybe I will try getting Jelly Bean compiled for the device.
I might also try to retrieve the Kurio interface and see if I can get it to work on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2.
I will put the file up for download as soon as I find a hosting service I don't have to pay for. Any recommendations? Sadly it's too big to upload as an attachment here.

Hi again,
Great u got it working ! Suddenly the Kurio is kinda worth keeping right ?
An article about rooting the device would be great, and Jelly Bean would be so cool.
As for uploading the file I have used filefactory(dot)com before, take a look there ..
I suggest we keep future progress in this thread, I do belive a lot of people will find this useful as we make more progress in weeks to come.

I have applied for a developer account on goo.im. If I get approved that will be where the files are put.
And the tablet is definetely worth keeping now. A couple of apps doesn't work, but with root we can probably fix that.

Hello
They are having a sale, where i live today and tomorrow. I can get it with 25% off. My kids prefer tablets instead of there Nintendo's. Is it really worth the purchase? Do you know if it can run subway surfers? And last some sites says it has a dual core processor others says single core. Another is doubt about the ram being 1 gb or 512 mb.
Thanks
Hello
I bought two for my 5 year okd kids. The Kurio is going to replace there Nintendo's. I installed the market, using your uploaded files, thank's. It seems like that it only removes the superuser program. And that it leaves the device permanently rooted. I can use both root explore and titanium backup. Most games I installed, runs ok including subway surfer.
Hey guys, can one of you with a rooted tab, maybe release a full backup? I am wanting to try maybe port the launcher over to work on any tablet?..
thanks
Karl
could you please post a download link for that google play file again.... the one you have post now times out
Just as the title dictates. I am trying to walk a friend through installing google play on his rooted fire tv, I emailed him all the necessary files and he installed via es file explorer which apprently did not work as it just gives him a white screen. Is this only able to function if it is installed via adb?
Did you guide him through the xposed framework installation as well?
Yes
danknasty, maybe have your friend read the guide. Why would you not use Adb? and you have to install the xposed framework along with the module for google play to function. And to top it off to make it work perfectly fine, you need to use market helper 2.0 beta.

Yea it's an older person so i was trying to make it as "friendly" as possible. He's able to navigate within es file explorer and can stick a usb stick in... adb fire i just feel is gonna be a lengthier and more difficult talk but it may come to that. I have recently installed it via es file explorer myself jsut to test and it seems to work fine so ill have him give it go.

You mentioned Rooted. i have a solution for you. Get him to install quicksupport and start it up. Then use teamviewer on your home pc and connect to it using the number quick support generates. Note: the first time the person will have to accept access to root privs. From that point on you'll have full control of his firetv from your PC. I do that all the time for my parents who live remotely.
I also connect to their PC so I have their PC and their firetv and can do adb install or what ever I need. Hope it helps.

Yeah,. and if he is rooted and has google play which he dosen't as thats what you are trying to install. Then you could install it for him automatically through google any app he needs. Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
One other thing to note is that if he gets the prompt for root grant, you know there is a timer of 15 seconds and he has to accept it in that time. I know i have a hard time explaining that too to my parents.
Thanks I think I lucked out and they hit the permanent root grant option on the unit.

Is there a permanent root option with the newer firmwares? I didn't know. At least not with supersu. The permanent option used to exist in the older rooted firmwares. The new ones' have to select grant everytime root is requested.

If you select the permanent option when you first root I believe it transfers over. When you update it. That was my understanding correct me if I'm wrong.

I've done so many roots and have never seen that option. The older firmwares with towelroot had it that way. but when you upgrade from those rooted versions to the new one, you have to constantly grant.
Are you talking about units you've hardware rooted? I just did one not so long ago and in the supersu program there is a choice that says grant always. After upgrade to the latest firmware it still remains.

Here:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=google+play+aftv+guide
So, I'm new to rooting and this is my first Nexus device.
I'm loving it and all the options but now I'm getting a notification to update.
I see all the forums about hooking it up to a computer and using commands to do it all and then rerooting.
I was looking for an easier way.
I bought a Nexus 5 to play with because I liked this one so much and when OTAs came up, it would let me download them and reboot into CWM recovery and ask if I want to flash the ZIP.
This one just boots into TWRP (No CWM for 5x) and does nothing.
I found the update as a zip here:
<https://gist.github.com/jduck/744a6c8a9042e9c792b7>
My question is: can I just download it and use TWRP to flash it or is the sequence of commands on a computer the only way to do it?
Thank you in advance for your help and I apologize for my ignorance.
Gotta start somewhere though, right?
Hi !
I personnaly use NRT from Wugfresh for my Nexus 5x and my Nexus 7 2013, both rooted.
In "model type", select Nexus 5x and your build.
In "Restore/upgrade/downgrade", select "device is on/normal", then click "Flash stock+ unroot".
Select the build you want to install, it can dl and extract it for you, and select "No Wipe Mode" in order to keep your data and apps. (don't try to put your ota file here)
Go through the steps, and in the end, hit "Root" to root again.
I know there are others methods to apply just the OTA with command lines, but I never did it cause I never took the time to learn. I should do it, maybe it's faster with command lines.
Anyway this works, even if it takes a little time, and it is kind of automatic. But I strongly recommend you try both method to find what suits you most. Or wait for someone else to reply so you'll have more points of view !
Have fun with your N5x !
I like the idea of that.
Does it reinstall the superuser app automatically?
If so, which one?
And does it redo custom recovery?
And which one for that?
Sorry for all the questions but I purchased SuperSU and I don't want it to automatically download a different one and have to go through the steps to change a superuser app.

Are you using flashfire v0.28?
Xposed modifies the system so while you maybe able to get the ota it can prevent you from installing them even with flashfire.
Go to the flashfire thread and see if this is a problem with the app or because or xposed (most likely answer).
Otherwise find the ota threads and see if you can flash it through recovery (not the N version)
Yeah, it's that version of Flashfire.
I have the update zip but I'm afraid to just flash it.
I was hoping that I'd get some more help here.
Not that I don't appreciate your help.

Thats at the end of my ability to help you with this particular problem, I have only owned a Nexus for 2 months and they are completely diff to Samsung plus I run pure nexus rom, you may just have to use a computer.
And I really appreciate it.
I'll just use a computer and do it.
Don't want to risk trying to flash the zip and bricking but I'm still curious.
Just not curious enough.
Haha.
Got it.
In case anyone needs to know for themselves, I wanted to post it here.
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...thout-losing-root-no-computer-needed-0168428/
I used that and it worked.
I didn't flash the Xposed zip and had to later on.
Worth it just to add it to the queue to save the time.
Everything else seems to be working fine thus far.
A few settings are changed (TinyCore was turned off and hidden apps in Smart Launcher 3 were unhidden) but that's nothing big.

That is the same manipulation I explained in post 2, but with Flashfire, without using a computer. And full automated, where with nrt you have to factory reset and root later. I'll try it next time ! And yeah, the version of SuperSu is always the latest, and if it is not, it will update via play store (I bought it as well ^^)

This one didn't unroot. Just uninstalled Xposed. Kept all my data and stuff. Apps stayed signed in even. I was afraid because I heard "factory reset" in yours. Or something to that nature. The only thing I'm having problems with now is Tapatalk told me to check my adblock settings and won't load anything. I'll have to look up what's wrong with it. Other than that, it's doing all right.
You are right and wrong, it unroots but reroots in the process. Same I did when I used nrt. And as i didn't wipe data, apps stayed sign in as Well.
But i tried flashfire on my nexus 7 and I it is way more useful and faster than nrt. I am adopting it !
While I was poking around in the apk that contains all of the stock watchfaces, I noticed that the watchfaces for the other Huawei Watch editions (Ladies' version and super expensive Swarovski crystal version) were hidden there, just begging for me to enable them. So I did. The attached zip can be flashed in TWRP to enable these hidden watchfaces. There are no side effects that I've found so far, and all of the stock watchfaces that we're all used to are still there, but if anything gets messed up let me know and I'll create a flashable zip that reverts the changes. Make a backup of /system in TWRP beforehand if you want to be safe, or if you're comfortable doing it, use the file browser to make a copy of /system/priv-app/HwWatchface/HwWatchface.apk.
The attached screenshots are only a few of the faces that are enabled.
If you don't see the faces after flashing, do a factory reset and you will.
It's worth noting that I ripped this apk from my watch while running official AW 2.0, so if you're staying on 1.5, I'm not sure whether or not this will work and/or mess anything up for you.
Is it possible to enable watch faces from HW2? Watch faces there are just updated ours - with complications and new features. This AW update to our HW is not full.

The HW2 watchfaces are not included in the HW1 apk. If you can find me the HwWatchface.apk included with the HW2, or even a copy of any HW2 stock firmware, I'll see if I can extract whatever is necessary to get it working on the HW1.
EDIT: Never mind, someone was kind enough to post it in the HW2 forums. I'll open it up tonight and see what I can do.

Sorry, no luck. When I try to use HwWatchface.apk from the HW2, all of the watchfaces show up in the watchface menu, but most of them only show a black screen when selected. There seems to be different supporting apps in the HW2 firmware than there are in the HW1 firmware, and I have no idea what I would need to do to get the watchfaces to play nicely on the HW1, and I don't have the time to dig into it.
I installed the file in twrp but i still can't find the faces in my watch. Anything special steps to do with this? Thanks.

There shouldn't be. I just tried to re-install it after doing some tinkering, and they don't seem to want to appear. Very strange. Maybe I messed up and put the stock apk in that zip. I'll figure it out when I get home today.

Looks like you have to factory reset to get the faces to show up. Sorry about that.
Can you export the faces as apk to be installed with ADB?

The apk is in the flashable zip if you want it. However, it must be installed as a system app, so you can't install it via adb install.

I meant to do it like they have done it here ->https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...-watch-urbane-2nd-edition-watchfaces-t3599720
Every watchface is standalone apk.

Oh. No, I don't think that's possible in this case. If it is, I'm not sure how to do it.

ok I am just asking thank you for the attention. I hope someone who knows if this is possible and how to do it will get the job done
