In several threads in this forum,many users(especially book addicts) need the Samsung Ebook APP for android ICS(or HC maybe?) but never get a proper,fully functional result.but this thread is to end their worries about the loss and perhaps will be an end to that problem...
It's simple:just download the APP files and follow the instructions and ENJOY!
There will be two posts that will follow: one for Honeycomb and the other for ICS...
News: a new Q&A section is likely to be created in each of the following posts!

For Honeycomb:
There are two files:the one that is in the attachment is flashable with CWM recovery but doesn't have the APP's data,the data must be downloaded through WiFi.
Use the second file only if your device is rooted and you have Titanium backup installed.just pu the folder "Titanium backup" in the root of your tablet's storage and restore the APP using Titanium.this file is accessible here:

For Ice Cream Sandwich:

All is fine,try again...otherwise it is your problem only...if so,pm me
I downloaded it from the Samsung appstore before I disabled the Samsung appstore on my tab. It is in there too for those running stock.
Yes,maybe,if you have stock HC or ICS installed on HC...but most users have experienced issues with non-stock ROMs,this is for them
I really want to try the Samsung ebook reader but having trouble installing. My tablet is stock hc3.2 and non-rooted and have the Samsung appstore loaded on the Tab. When I try to install, the Samsung App jumps to Google Play and says not compatible with any of my devices (HTC Incredible 2, Nook Color (rooted) and Tab).
Anybody have any ideas how to install with out being rooted.
Thanks in advance
Yes,that's easy if you're familiar with Odin...do the following(voids warranty,no root):
Go to: https://sites.google.com/site/arashtarafar/
Download "recovery.tar.md5","bootloader.tar.md5","boot-cm...hc32..."
Flash the first two files with Odin,go into CWM and flash the third file...
Grab the "Ebook.zip" from the Honeycomb post in this thread(attachment),transfer the zip to your device and flash it with CWM...
Now you have stock 3.2 Ebook APP without root...launch it and in Samsung APPs press "Get",after completion press "Launch",the APP is in your device
Edit:for your Google play issue,I must say that if you log in with a banned/embargoed google account it shows "You do not have any devices",I have the same problem...hate and love Google play at the same time...
Thanks for the reply. But I don't want to load CWM. I'm waiting for ICS to come out for my SCH-i905 before I do any rooting / alternate recovery application. My account isn't banned or embagoed(?) cause I can load any other application from the play store to my Tab.
Download the zip from Honeycomb section,extract it,in the extracted folder go to "\system\app\"" and install "Ebook.apk",launch it,download it's data,done...
Information:the only benefit of flashing the zip package was to have Ebook installed as one of the system APPs that can't be uninstalled,there's no need to flash it otherwise...I should have said this,sorry...
Ebook
Do you know if it works in CM9 ?
(Flashing Ebook.zip via CWM)
:laugh:
I think it works but have not tested.I'll test it as soon as I get rid of the official ICS,you can test it yourself without harm if you don't like waiting.just follow the above post(first of page 2)

Arashtarafar, Thanks for the suggestion. I installed the APK but when I try to run the app, I get a message that "Service will be available soon" and nothing happens.
When I go into the Samsung App Center, it must recognize that it is installed cause I can "Delete" the application.

Update: 11/20/11 Unofficial Market update which brings it to Version 3.3.12. Better integration with the Music market. You can now download free music and purchase music as well. Sorry U.S.A. only for free music (?)
How to install: download apk and install like any other apks.
http://db.tt/0j3ii5Oq
Here is the latest (leaked?) update of the Market which brings it to version 3.3.11.
And here's how I installed it: I am currently on CM7 nightlies
Download .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk)
Open Root explorer (or any file manager w/ root access)
Move New Market .apk (Market-3.3.11.apk) to system/apps (make sure to mount R/W first)
Move (or delete, but I suggest to move .apk just in case) older market .apk (Vending.apk) to your sdcard
Rename new market as Vending.apk
Fix Permissions (rw--r--r)
Exit Root Explorer (or any file manager)
Reboot
Done! Whew...
OR...
Download .apk
Rename New Market .apk to "Vending.apk" (w/o the quotes)
Install just like any other apllication
Reboot (if necessary)
*I didn't get the chance to try the second option so it may or may not work, but it kinda made sense...
**not sure if (Vending.apk) is the same name for SENSE ROMS (I don't remember) but just make sure to rename it the same way...
FOR MORE INFO... MARKET 3.3.11
Sounds like a lot of work for nothing. Have you tested and confirm that you can buy a new app with this new market apk?

Try and clear "market" data through the application settings and reopen the market. See if that worked...
from the "CRACKED" speedy EVO engine... Via Tapatalk.
It won't install for me. It keeps saying application not installed. If I use root explorer to place the .apk in the /systems/app folder I just get force closes. Clearing data doesn't help either. I have downloaded it several times thinking it was a corrupted download. I'm at wits end here. I have done everything in this post even before I read it as I have updated to all the other previous market releases without issue.
But for some reason this one just doesn't work. I thought maybe it wasn't working on cm7.1 nightli or or the evo shift but some of you have it working so that isn't it. Let me redo this and maybe format cache and dalvik see if that helps.

did you rename the .apk of the new update?
I had zero issues with the new Market. I just installed it like any other .apk. The new Market is very nice. Many small noticable differences. Like when on the My Apps page and you switch accounts it leaves you on the My Apps page instead of reloading the whole damn Market. Overall new Market is definitly an improvement and Vicodan should stop being such a hater

I did try that, but no luck. I'll probably just ignore it until the next time I flash a ROM. Then it'll fix itself, so that's fine. I imagine it's only going to be a few days until I do that anyway.

Titanium Backup can restore all your Market links. I believe there's also other apps designed just to do that too. Use TB or search for an app that restores Market links.

If your use titanium backup to restore or install your apps go into the settings and use market doctor. This will fix missing links to apps in the market that you have installed.

I used your second instructions to install it but I didn't rename it and it installed fine. I didn't need to change permissions or reboot, just touched the Market-3.3.11.apk after I downloaded it and it installed. Thanks.

Are you on a Sense ROM?
Good to know that it installed fine for you.
Hi all,
I recently flashed Koshu's unbelievable ROM which brought JB to the TPT. I am using v. 0.8.1 at the time of writing.
Naturally, I lost all the Lenovo stock applications which came with the TPT. I especially miss the USB transfer app which would allow for transferring documents between a USB drive and the TPT
[The question]: Is there any way to restore the stock lenovo applications to the tablet? I know that the original image must be on the TPT SOMEWHERE seeing as doing a factory reset will re-load all apps.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Some of these preinstalling and normally free to find in PlayStore APKs are even still on your TPT, because they are seperated into two locations:
1. The preinstall APK files you metioned and you and everyone else should still have are in /mnt/pia/. like the preinstalled games, media players, readers and business thingies.
2. The System APK files which were in /system/app/. like NotesMobile, all those Lenovo Widgets, USB FileCopyUtility etc
system
I will upload the latter one first. Copy what you want to /system/app/. and be sure that all permissions are the same as the ones of all other system APKs already being there and have fun. If someone deleted the ones in /mnt/pia/. out of whatever reason I upload them if asked for, too.

Yes, the USB-transfer-utility can (most likely but not definitely) be installed onto a 3rd-party ROM.
The question is do you need to? Any decent "explorer" app (e.g: Root Explorer) can see the contents of a connected USB (look in /mnt/usbdrive) and copy files on/off it.
Most of the Lenovo stock apps are clunky bloatware. Plenty of far more functional apps are available on Play.

youre welcome. the tpt community needs every helping hand. we are not that big.
one thing more. there are rumors that the tool won't find the usb device. keep me updated. maybe we find a solution for that too.
Ok, so a few observations here:
1) The USB transfer tool will only disaply /sdcard, and none of the other mounts. So to say, that the full size sd-card reader does not appear in the app, nor does media attached to the full sized USB port. Both drives however can be found using ES-FIle explorer
2) Any idea where that launcher widget is? I have searched EVERYWHERE for it. I am talking about the stock widget that has links for movies, music, books, browser etc. I miss this widget above all else.
Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you again!

A few suggestions:
1) Wipe your "Play Store" cache
2) Which version did you install? Maybe try one of the other files in the linked file.
3) Download "Papyrus Beta" from the Play Store--it has Lenovo digitizer support for the TPT and is an amazing application. Optimized for ICS and JB (I believe)

It could that NotesMobile is in some way locked to the Lenovo ROMs. It makes sense that they would do this since its an OEM app and not available elsewhere.
NotesMobile has a large number of language-specific data files associated with it (also found in that file emuandco linked to here). It's worth copying all of these across to /system/apps too before writing this off.
@jakymiwm: NotesMobile isn't the only "Notes" app with handwriting recognition. WritePad can do this too ... albeit in a different manner.

It may very well be dependant on the Lenovo ROM. Write pad is good. The only issue I have with it, is the interface. Actual functionality is great though!

I did move all the files over. The only thing I didn't do is change all of the permissions. I made sure I changed the main app and the en_.. apps.
I also tried to change the build.props to see if that could help. It did not. It must be looking at the SDK version. I can't change that without getting into a boot loop.

When you say you changed the 'build.prop' file, did you modify the string which sets the OS version? I feel like this is a framework issue....
I changed everything in the build and product area except for the SDK version. If I change the SDK version the tablet will boot loop.

That's a good question. It should be /system/app as that's where the all other widgets are (Lenovo Bookmarks / Lenovo Mail / etc). But I can't see anything that stands out obviously. The official name is "Lenovo Launch Zone" if that helps.
It might be that Lenovo shoehorned it into the default ICS launcher (Launcher2.apk). Or perhaps it's in one of the preinstall apks. You could try them one by one until it appears.

Here's the one from my /system/app (stock ROW OTA3.5).
I suspect this isn't it but you're welcome to try anyway.
EDIT:Having a look through the graphics elements within Launcher2, it appears that it may actually be the location of that widget. I don't know how it will play in CM10 as I think that uses Trebuchet as it's launcher. Using Lenovo's launcher may break things.

I have an Acer Iconica A500 & i am trying to get Xbox Smart Glass on it but no matter what it tells me that my device isn't compatible, I have Updated the Acer using the Update Enhancement Update from Acer & i still get the Device isn't compatible...Is there away around this or ?
My Acer is not Rooted & is there away i can get this app installed with Rooting it ?
Thanks
I had downloaded the apk file through google, search because the Google play one was not installable. They have two apps, the smart glass one ran without any problems. The main reason is that they have not yet released tablet support for their app. But rumor has it they will support it later. I installed version 1.0.1 I believe....

So just search Google on the Tablet itself for the apk & then install the the apk how ? with what program & does my Tablet need to be rooted to do this ? or can i just download the apk on my Pc then put it on an Sd & install it that way...I am just not sure because the Tab is not rooted & i would like to keep this one that way...
Thanks...Appreciate the help
You don't need to be rooted to side load apps. You can do it via any file manager by simply tapping the apk file, or if you download it in the browser you just tap the download notification when it is done and it will install it.

I love my new Nexus 7 but the lack of the default Browser is rather painful for me to do without. Does anyone else miss that Browser? The ability to never see the address bar as it frees up screen real estate as well as the Quick Controls, which I find are superior to any browser on Google Play, are the main reasons I want to see this browser back on Android 4.3. I already tried to install BrowserGoogle.apk and it just will not install. I wonder is anyone up to making this work for 4.3?

You can't just install the standard browser like other apk's:
Once you have root, remount /system rw.
Copy the browser.apk I linked before to /system/apps
Rename browserproviderproxy.apk and .odex to something else
Ensure the permissions on browser.apk are 664 (rw-rw-r--)
Reboot
ES file explorer can be used for everything if you're not comfortable doing it from a shell session.

I've used that app myself before, works great HOWEVER the version linked above is from 4.3 rather than 4.2.2. It doesn't look like the app has been updated for 4.3 yet.
There aren't any noticeable changes in the 4.3 version though anyway as far as I can tell, so whatever works for you really.

Im not sure I follow your logic.
The APK it installs is from 4.0 for the browser and the Flash is from ICS....What difference does it make if the app to install it is for 4.2.2..Almost every single App I have installed from playstore is from 4.2 or bellow....Not to mention Most of these peeps here wont even want to change the name of an app, then place it in a folder, then change its permissions. Hell just the fact that this thread was started shows that most won't even search for the how to.

The APK it installs is from 4.0 for the browser and the Flash is from ICS....What difference does it make if the app to install it is for 4.2.2..Almost every single App I have installed from playstore is from 4.2 or bellow....Not to mention Most of these peeps here wont even want to change the name of an app, then place it in a folder, then change its permissions. Hell just the fact that this thread was started shows that most won't even search for the how to.

I'm not talking about the app to install it, I'm talking about the version of browser.apk the app installs. I didn't realise it was the 4.0 version of browser installed, I assumed it would be the version taken from aosp 4.2.2 and would be updated to install the version from 4.3 shortly. Why isn't it installing the latest version of browser available? Only reason I can think of is for compatability maybe?
Similarly, I would always reccomend downloading the latest version of flash directly from the adobe website than using some apk posted on xda, personally. If people can't be bothered and the shortcut methods work fine for them then great! But there's no harm in giving the info on how to do it manually. Knowledge is power!

Ahhh gotcha. :good:
I appreciate it guys but when I was trying to root, I got my new Nexus 7 stuck on Fastboot mode screen. It's no longer recognizing USB through the PC. I can't pull the battery, power + - vol doesn't work. Is this thing bricked?

Sorry... I had to hold power + - vol a little while longer. It's up now. Thanks for your help. I'm going to do some thorough research so I can properly root this thing.

It'll say device not supported when you click to run it, but it works.
Install the flash player attached after.

You are welcome.
This is perfect thanks for posting. Sadly I have three websites I use for work that are flash intensive.
So much flaming, so little time.
Take it elsewhere kids. Unless it relates to helping the OP get an AOSP browser, do not post it.
Do you know anything about the AOSP Browser Installer in the Play Store ?
What is this browser ?
I installed it and it took 5 minutes the the device to reboot ... then it seemed to factory reset my device kinda ... all the google apps were older from when I updated recently. Also, every app that had been purchased was gone ... I had to re-install and it gets worse before I could re-install I had to go into the /data/data folder and delete the paid app's folder then it would install ... not sure why this happened it was a pain to do this, is their any tool that could have fixed this ?
Google should have never removed it from these devices on the stock ROMs. Chrome even today is still not as smooth.

Hi!
I have a Nook Color which was Modded with CM7 (on internal memory) when i bought it here in Germany. Everything was fine until all of a sudden downloads from google playstore did'nt work anymore. I tried to live with that because i used the nook mainly for watching films and got most of the apps i was interested in already.
Now i decided to get rid of this problem. I wrote back the B&N Stock Image to the internal memory to get rid of the CM7. Everything went fine and B&N Stock was running well and i registered. After that i installed a bootable linux together with CM10.1 and Google Playstore inside Zip Archive on my 32GB SD Card.
The device booted 2 or 3 times and there it was - the new CM10.1 Stable (Android 4.22)
I gave him all informations about my google account and everything went good.
But i still don't get anything out of the Playstore. The Device was supposed to re-load all previous installed apps, schould synchronize and i tried to get a new (free) app.
It just says downloading and after a while it just says error downloading xxxxxx.
Wifi Access is running good an i have no probs downloading other stuff.
What can possibly be wrong?

Those are the correct files.
Since you have this problem on both CM7 on emmc and CM10.1 on SD it sounds like a Play Store issue.
Let me describe how Play Store works and maybe you can diagnose the problem yourself. Play Store, after you log in and select an app to install, downloads the apk file and temporarily stores it on your device until it gets installed. On older versions of Play Store it downloads the file to /cache/download. On newer versions it downloads it somewhere else. I think either in /sdcard/Android or /data/data. But in any case I think Play Store is having difficulty storing the apk wherever it usually is stored.
Edit: The downloaded apk gets put in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache as downloadfile.apk
You might check to see if you have that file location.

No, not on sdcard. On /data. (Using your root file manager on the device itself, not from the PC).

Ahhh - i see.
This location does exist on the device - but there is nothing in there. (we knew in advance...)
the rights are: drwxrwx--x
I guess that's how it should be.
Any suggestions?

btw: I read that hangout (ex google talk) must be installed to be able to download anything from playstore.
so they suggest if you cannot install any apps from the playstore the solution ist to install the hangout - app. But how can i install the hangout-app when i'm not able to install any app? :silly:
So i searched and found it for direct download - installed - fine !
I started it and it says that it will run only if i update google play service - which also cannot be installed because.... wtf...

tried to start hangout again - still needs ti update play services ..... which doesnt work of cause......

You can tell how much is free with your file manager or go to settings/storage and see what it says.
