http://222.73.93.45/update/11.2.1.8/11.2.1.8.2.1.ius was the last ius file found for my tab, but there is one at http://222.73.93.45/update/11.2.1.8/11.2.1.8.2.2.ius
The weird thing is my tab says no update is available
The weird thing is my tab says no update is available
Hi all; Just got my tablet yesterday, and right away went looking for a forum. I had previously mod a Cruz reader and a Pandigital Novel to run Android, and was looking forward to a "real" tablet. This looks pretty good for the price. But man, lack of a working marketplace, I've discovered, that any android device is pretty weak. Kudos to everyone working to get this issue solved. Hopefully, it will be developed into a easy fix that the uneducated user. I would suggest that someone write an easy to follow guide to ABD, as this was helpful to me in rooting and getting market to work on the aforementioned ereaders for me.
Thanks again guys for the hard dirty work!!

I was finally able to get the Market running with Free apps downloadable. I tried editing the boot.prop like Xi2wiked did and that made my Market force close so I returned it back to the original.

11.2.1.8 Version:0 no update found either but downloaded it manually and did a quick binary file compare to the previous version. Here's what's different - going to move the discussion regarding these differences to the http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/sylvania-tablets/13447-custom-sylvania-rom-development.html thread.
Agree, having a custom ROM would make burning modification much easier.
Code:
C:\Sylvania>fc /b 11.2.1.8.2.1.ius 11.2.1.8.2.2.ius

Like I posted here http://www.androidtablets.net/forum/sylvania-tablets/13447-custom-sylvania-rom-development-2.html I have no problem being a guinnea pig if someone wants to try and edit/build an update for the 11.2.1.8. I think going with a custom edited update is going to be the best/easiest way for us to get a fully functioning market up and running......
K, got the market running again on the tab. This time it has the paid apps tab, but not showing paid apps yet (im still working on it). Btw, heres a pic, of the market running on the tab as proof. https://picasaweb.google.com/m/viewer#photo/Xi2Wiked/5607916626596098289/5607916722065503074 we will get this working.

What I did was copy the /data/data/com.android.vending/databases files and /data/data/com.android.vending/shared_prefs/vending_prefrences.xml file from my phone (htc glacier/mytouch 4g) to the corosponding files on my tab, rebooted, cleared market cache, cleared google service framework data, fc'd google service framework, rebooted, and it worked.
Just an fyi the vending_preferences.xml file contains the build fingerprint, which was the reason I was working on the build.prop edits. The beautiful thing about this is the only thing affected by this method is the market, because unlike the build.prop method which was in effect a system edit, this new method is simply replacing market files only. I also didnt install to /system/app, I just installed from the extracted gapps folder on my sd card.

Forgot to add, if I go to my downloads section in the market it does show the paid apps that I've purchased. And I'm able to download them, it just isn't showing the apps in the paid apps tab. I'm wondering if its not the paid apps that are the issue, but the protected apps..... going to look into this more when I get a chance.
