I've been messing around in google app inventor getting an idea for the flow of code and figured that it's time to step up to an actual coding environment.
So I went and downloaded the most recent SDK and eclipse. I installed all the available resources and revisions.
Then i hit a snag. The guide said that in order to properly set up Eclipse i need the ADT plugin. I opened the help menu and went to install new software and clicked on the add button. In the name section i put "ADT Plugin" and in location i put the exact web address they gave and it kept giving an error that said unable to connect to repository... i even tried http over https but still experienced the same issue. I entered the website enter my web browser in hopes that it would connect to a ftp server or start a direct download but unfortunatly it was a google site that was no longer available.
So i want to know if theres a mirror download somewhere that i can manually install to eclipse.
Also my eclipse info
Eclipse SDK
Version: 3.6.1

Yes mate, from here...
http://developer.android.com/sdk/eclipse-adt.html
Towards the bottom of the page it tells you what to do if the URL doesn't work.

Okay just ran into another hitch
I downloaded the zip file and go to install new software but instead of the website i use the archive. It provides me with a list of 3 options
Android DDMS
Android Development Tools
Android Hierarchy Viewer
I put a check in each box and click next it says calculating Dependencies and requirements then i get an error that says
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 8.0.1.v201012062107-82219 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 8.0.1.v201012062107-82219)
Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 8.0.1.v201012062107-82219 (com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 8.0.1.v201012062107-82219) requires 'org.eclipse.gef 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Now this has me at a loss. If i downloaded the Archive in theory i shouldn't have to connect to any more sites to install the plugin. I want to know if there is a way to drag and drop the contents of the archive to a plugins folder then open eclipse and refresh the installed plugins in order to show that ADT has been installed.
Not sure if the 64 bit side of things could be an issue (either for you or for anyone), but this guy seems to have solved the same problem...
http://superuser.com/questions/221944/huh-jdk-not-found-on-windows-7-64-bit
Hope it helps mate.
KK ill see if i can follow this and come up with a fix to my issue. not too sure how this will work since im running a 32bit system with windows Vista
I'm still experiencing the same issue with eclipse unfortunately, i even downgraded to Galileo instead of Helios thinking that it was an incompatibility issue with the newest version or the most recent version. I even tried dragging the .JAR files in the ADT zip into the eclipse folder in an attempt to get Eclipse to recognize the plugins without having to install them through the "install new software" dialog.
Everytime I try to connect to the download server it gives me a message that says An exception stack trace is not available. Or Unable to connect to repository http://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/content.xml
Connection refused: connect
Hi guys! sometimes you try to install an APK file and the only message you see is "INSTALL FAILED" or "INSTALL UNSUCESSFULL" but there is no explanation of why. There is any way to see why it don't install on a particular rom and work on others?
I suppose you could use logcat (you're gonna need the Android SDK installed on your computer first), a lot of the time a reboot fixes the install problem - unless you're out of memory to store the application on.
i Got the sdk, but dont know how to user logcat to monitor installations. : /

hi, the thinkpad tablet never came with anything lower than 3.1, also that isn't a valid model number for this tablet.
I think you must have something other than a thinkpad tablet

Check here, shows the instructions for that model.

Yes i know this thread! But its just about rooting and installing google maps and the market... but the market in this thread isn't working anymore! i think the version is to old...
but i hate the lenove OS, i would like it to install another one or maybe develop my own one if CWM would work
it's this one: h**p://appserver.lenovo.com.cn/shop/shop_Detail.aspx?gdsid=A2100014142
Unfortunately, it's said that Lenovo has no any upgrade plan for this pad. LePad S1(Y1011) is the first mode of pad from Lenovo. the product, particularly its deep customized OS, is in very low maturity. short after its released to the market, it's ended production and replaced by A1 series pad. that's the situation, so disappointed, and angry. and finally, its ROM leaked.
i searched some Chinese forum and got the following leaked ROM:
* LePad S1 Ver_Wifi ROM here
* LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM here
* resource pack here
hope it helpful to you guys who may interested look into the code
Thanks for this informations! Does someone know what we can do with this files?
________________________________________________________________________
This files are working! While I tried to install Gapps i bricked my Y1011 and i was able to reflash everything by using fastboot and LePad S1 Ver_3G ROM.
thx again for the files
hi i have the same tablet and really heavy problems. i look at all chinese forums with google translation and it is horrible to find anything about a working custom firmware.
if you instal the upper firmware it will be nice to tell us something about the changes. when i want to download i didnt work download allways stopp. the name is the same like the orriginal number.
im loking for a stable full android version. im read that there is a chinese caled chita he costum firmware for the lephone and the lephone works normal withe leos like the lepad.
so if anybody knew news about the lepad y1011 it wil be nice to write it here.

yes i was able to install the firmeware above but ther are no changes! its just a leaked original version
at the moment i'm uploading the firmewares to uploaded.to
watch the 1. post
Thanks for your post. So i wont install the leaked rom if it isnt a full android. Do you know anything about Chitas Roms.
I worked with Costum Rom for my Archos Tablet and for HTC sensation xl but i m not god enough to custom a own one.
But i got Market place working without Gaaps. I have some mistakes with 492 but only by a few apps.
Thanks for upp the Files if I break it its easy to unbrick it. I will download it.
If some from China will inform us it will be very nice.
you have been able to install the market?! could you give me tutorial how you have done this? and thefiles you installed?
everytime i've tried it i bricked my device
(gerne auch auf deutsch )
At First German is on this forum not allowed. Forum rules (mir wärs auch lieber)
I have got market work with some mistakes on some files got mistake 492 if you find the APK on other Place the most will work but not with autoupdate.
Some Games will not work bcause the OS2.0.0 The Hardware is god enough
So here are how to do it
Install LeTools on Windows 7 PC. it is assumed that LenovoStore on your Lepad is already connected usin wifi.
Connect USB cable with Windows 7 PC
unzip attached file to your PC.
1. Copy all attached files to your LePad using LeTools in any known directory.
2. Use LePad filemanager and click on z4root.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
3. Use LePad file manager and click on Root_Explorer.apk and install it. Its icon will appear on last Desktop
4. Click on Z4root icon to run it. select temporary root permission
5. Click on Root_Explorer icon. It may say that it needs a restart to gain root access. so re run.
6. Now little hardwork. Find the folder where you copied the files. You have to copy following files to the folder /system/app
a. Vending.apk
b. Network location.apk
c. Market updater.apk
d. talk.apk
e. googleServicesFramework.apk
f. googlePartnerSetup.apk
7. Touch the file name and hold for a second, menu will appear. Select copy and go on top of listed files where .. is there for going to previous directory. keep going back till you reach the root folder.
8. Go to folder /system/app and touch the copy button at bottom of LePad screen.
9. Repeat the process for all above files.
10. Change the permissions on each copied file by touching the file name and holding for a second, from menu selecting permissions.
Select permissions as follows
User - Read and write
Group - Read
Others - Read
11. Now shutdown the LePad and then Power On.
12. Use file Manager and go to folder where you initially copied the files. Touch the Vending.apk to install it.
13. Now you should have Google market icon on Last Desktop.
14. All the best. You are needed to have a gmail account to use Google market.
I will look were i can Upload the files. If you start and stop the market it will automatik update to the 4.3.3

Hope i could you Help

Hello,
I had received a Chinese Samsung Galaxy Edge+ G9280 as a gift but it is not preinstalled with Google Play Store. May I know if any one has successfully installed Google Play Services and Play Store in their Edge+？ I'm trying to stay away from rooting the phone as I am afraid of bricking the phone.
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
Alex
On past devices, you had to find a place to download the Google Services APK, root the device, then move the APK to system/app manually. I doubt it's different with the Edge+.
Thanks! May I know had anyone succeeded in rooting a G9280 or similar model yet? Any do or don't? I'd bricked a phone before.. You can imagine how nervous I'm now. Lol
Best regards
Alex

Definitely not for G9280, but you could follow this for any future updates! :good:
Thanks a bunch!!

Another thing you could try is flashing the firmware for the Hong Kong Edge+ if they are the same model#. It would have the full Google services framework and could be flashed using Odin without rooting or tripping Knox and losing your warranty.
G9280 Root and Play Store
Hi Alex
Did you end up getting your G9280 installed with Play Store and root I assume?
I already have root and play store (not done by me) but if I apply and updates from Samsung I will lose root and play store.
Thanks
Play Store not running
Hi
i have unlocked and rooted my device SM-G9280 , installed the google services, but still can not run google play store ,
does anyone have an advice how to get this run ?
Did anyone manage installing gapps on the G9280? Please help
Try this.
If you read Chinese, or if you can find somebody to help you, you can try the following:
Step 1: Please root your phone. Visit this page: http colon //daxiaamu dot com/?p=2055
Step 2: Download Root Explorer in Samsung APP store.
Step 3: Download Google Play Services APK, Google Play Store APK, Please visit: http colon //www dot androidapksfree dot com/apk/google-play-services-apk-latest-version-download/
If you download with your phone, it is stored at /data/media/0/download
Step 4: Use RE to move those two APKs to /system/app
Step 5: Use RE to change permissions from rw-rw-rw to rw-r-r
Step 6: restart your phone and the google play store should be OK. (please install Google Play Store first if you have not yet done so.)
It is not a perfect solution, but it works. Let me know if you cannot make it work.
hey i was looking for the same answer because i have same phone g9280 without any google service and some apps are impossible to get from Chinese store.
i have successfully rooted my device and then i have installed gapps. now it is working fine.
first you need to download the root file, is a xxx.tar , then install it with odin. Also you need to find the PHILZ software and install it in same way, that software allows you to install the gapps file (download it and copy in to the device internal memory as first).
if youre still in china, be aware that you need a VPN installed and working if you want google app works.
hope it helps.
Paid ROM service
I had the same problem and confusion like you guys after I got back from China. Searched a bunch but didn't get a satisfying solution, I emailed both Samsung CN(China) and CA(Canada). CA said it's none of their business since I bought the phone back in China, CN replied that 9280 and CA model have different specs, therefore they cannot provide the CA system I required. I was like wtf, so this Samsung flagship device is just gonna sit at home like a brick?
Did a little Baidu (like Google in China) and finally got an answer. I successfully rooted my 9280 from taobao.com (like ebay or amazon in China) for ￥188, or 30USD 40CAD (wtf with CAD nowadays, geez). The ROM is made by a famous Samsung rooting service company in China. I will put a link at the end of the post.
After a month of use, I will give the ROM an A.
- google services are for sure usable.
- OEM system look with lots of adds-on features in settings.
- a few bugs, not too noticeable.
- improved battery life.
You will see some interesting (but do you need it?) features in settings. Anyways, if you want to access Google Play Store and use Google Services, go for it.
Link below contains some screenshots I took before and after the ROM installation:
[email protected]//[email protected]@[email protected]/[email protected]/[email protected]@oQ
umm, the forum wouldn't let me post the screenshots cuz I'm a new user. enter the link without @
How to:
1. A PC (you don't need a sick rig, but not one from the last decade please.)
2. A mainland Chinese friend. Not just some random 2nd gens or HKs. No offense, but he/she will have to understand and follow all the Mandarin installation instructions. Plus, he/she needs a taobao account and a valid payment method accepted by taobao. (Don't worry, if your friend is a Mainlander, they will probably have all that.)
3. 30USD or 40CAD, + a McDonald's happy meal for your friend
Leave me a comment if you have any questions.

could you be more specific? where can i download the root file? thanks
hey guys, i remember i have spent a lot of time looking the root file in google. but then i realized that nobody cares about this model in particular but chinese people so i used baidu instead. then i have clicked every single chinese link until i found it.
im actually in China so i cant find a way to upload for you, due to firewalls. Im gonna keep trying and let you know soon.

Could you post the file link al least? I know how to read Chinese. Thanks.
If you cant post a link due to forum rules, just drop a bunch of @ symbol in the link.

here what you need to root your device sm-g9280:
mega.nz/#!kcNCWBiQ[/
contains:
gapps: complete google play services and app.
odin 10
philz_touch : bootloader for rooted device
root stock kernel : root file.
instructions: (all of it is necessary, and totally works if you do it well. im not responsible if your phone get damaged in the process, do it completely under your own responsability) note: if you follow the instructions, youre going to lose your warranty (samsung, vendor or whatever else). i strictly recommend you do backup your phone info and download the original software from .samsung-updates, in case something go wrong you will probably need it to recover your phone alive and restart the process.
step 1: download and unrar the file in the link. PASSWORD KEY IS : JuanC
step 2: copy the GAPPS file (zip file, do not uncompress it) into your device's memory (remember the directory adress)
step3: unblock your download mode in your device options. if you dont know how, just ask youtube.
step4: turn off your device and extract the sim card ( if you dont, you gonna lose your antenna drivers)
step5: start your device in download mode. ask youtube if you dont know how
step6: if the download mode is unblocked, you would be able to see the message "unblock". then you can connect your device via USB to your computer and open the ODIN program (included in the link). you also need to have the lastest SMARTSWITCH program installed in your PC for the phone drivers. If everything goes well this far , you would be able to see a green or yellow square in the upper corner with the word COM1 or COM2 depending of how many USB ports your PC has.
step7: press the AP button, look for the root kernel file and click OK or LOAD. and wait a few minutes depending on your pc configuration. when done, the message screen shows LEAVE CCS
step8: click load on the bottom. if goes well, after a few minutes you will see a green square with the message : PASS!!. if you have a problem in here just load the original software again.
step9: start the phone and let it update the changes. then turn it off and start it again in DOWNLOAD mode, same as before, restart odin in the AP button you look for the PHILZ_TOUCH file. it will change the bootloader of your device. load it!
step10: start the phone and let it update the changes. turn it off again, and start it in BOOTLOAD mode. ask youtube if you dont know how. click on install from sd card and look for the GAPPS file you have copied from beginning. install it. then push "restart"
step 11: enjoy!
hope it helps.

Is not working for me (firmware on the phone--G9280ZCU2AOK6_G9280CHC2AOK6_CHC), in step 7, when I load "G9280-OJ9-Root-Stock-Kernel.tar" the the message "LEAVE CCS" is not showing up, and if I press start, it is flashing the kernel but the phone is stuck at start screen
Ok then go to samsung-updates.com and download the lastest firmware Q2QOJ9 and flash it in the phone. Next repeat the process
---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------
Or you can baidu the firmware you have and look for the root. Dont worry, when you flash a firmware it will run again. Just ensure the root file you use is same firmware you have inatalled
the firmware you have does not has a root file created yet.
download this firmware and flash it as first step, then do the rest.
samsung-updates.com/details/55960//SM-G9280/CHC/G9280ZCU2AOJ9.html
it is october released and last root file created until now. same as i have installed and running.
thanks, is working now, .... sadly if you update google play is not working anymore, ( tryed to instal youtube and promted me to updete google play ), I tryed "open gapps" and is not working
Somth is different then
I didnt install youtube, till you say it.
Just now i did it with my vpn and i had no problem Installing it and running it. I dont remember if i have updated google play, but just now i have checked and i have 6.0.0 version. And everything is fully working without any problem.
Maybe you can go to the app manager and unistall google and google services and reinstall it from bootloader again and see if the prob is solved. Or google GAPPS and get the last package updated to install.
However, now that you know how to make it works, my advice is you keep moving on next step, i mean maybe downloading the newest firmware from samsung-updates.com on your pc (once youre rooted, you will need to flash it manually) and spending sometime looking for the root file for that firmware.
I trust you let me know if you get it first.
