PMID702C

I'm confused. Isn't Temple Run a swipe game and not a sensor-based one? It works fine on mine.

BTW, really enjoying this thing. Seems to be fully rooted out of the box. Even able to uninstall apps that came with it! Getting the Google Play store to run on it was a piece of cake.

Can't tilt on Temple Run, so it doesn't seem like yours is defective. I think it's the hardware they used.

Google apps!

So it turns out it's trivial to install Google apps on the device - I stumbled across APKTOP - questionably legal, but they have download for all of the Google apps - GMail, Maps and YouTube all work. The Play Store unfortunately crashes but that is probably because some dependency is missing.

Further, when I 'adb shell' into the device, I'm happily presented with:

root@android:/ #

So.. It's already rooted! woot. Need to figure out how I can dump an update, and then

Enjoy!

I had no trouble at all with the Google Market. I basically followed the directions here: http://www.freaktab.com/showthread.p...rket-and-more!

EDIT: To clarify, I used N4RPS's instructions. The device is rooted and /system is already R/W, so some of the steps aren't needed.

I just bought a PMID702C and I'm a noob If possible, could you tell me exactly what steps are not needed? Thanks

I just got the PMID 702C yesterday. I've downloaded and installed the amazon app. My question is why isn't is showing on my apps page. I'm not very tech savvy...sigh...not sure why I get into all this tech stuff...lol

Mine showed up right after install. Restart maybe? Maybe try installing it again.

Just install vending.apk?

Actually, I think it's even easier than those instructions, because we're already on ICS. Here's what I did...

I took this Market APK: http://www.apktops.com/android-market-3-2-0.html

copy it to system/apps/vending.apk. If you have adb installed, this is as easy as:

adb push Android_Market_v3.2.0.apk /system/app/vending.apk

Then change the permissions:

adb shell "chmod 644 /system/app/vending.apk"
adb reboot

That market is an old (pre Google Play) version but it self-updates in the background after the first time you open it, so later on you'll see the icon change from Market to Google Play.

I had also copied over a GoogleFrameworkServices.apk from a ICS gapps package I had for my Galaxy S but I'm pretty sure that wasn't even necessary.

I also suspect this would work if you copied over the latest Google Play APK that's on APKTOP, but it's not necessary since the market app updates itself as I said, you end up with the newest version either way!

ROM Manager?

Has anyone tried installing ClockworkMod recovery? I installed the ROM Manager app but I haven't installed the actual recovery... I don't want to risk it

Last I checked clockworkmod does not work with ICS Allwinner chip set, yet. It does however work fine with gingerbread.

Would I be better off exchanging my PMID701i for a PMID702c? It's sounding from posts folks have made here like the wifi is better on the PMID702c than on the PMID701i and doesn't cut out as bad with low connections. Only thing is my Big Lots probably doesn't have the PMID702c and since I bought my 701i Apr 29 I think, the time period for taking it back may have expired.

Or is there anything I can do or download to make the wifi better? Love the tablet, it's a good one so far, just not keen on dropped signals when the wifi connection gets poorer or further away.

I'm wondering if someone could do a ROM dump on the 702, post it for the devs here to look at, and see if it's compatible with our 701's.
Might help the developers for all 3 series.

I did run into an issue. The G sensor does not work in temple run. I am not sure what the issue is because the screen does rotate correctly on the home screen. I tried both the default and the special coordinate system with no luck. I bring this up because on both the 701i and the 701c it runs fine. If anyone has any ideas i am all ears.

I just gone one and am testing it. I can confirm that the tilting does not work in Temple Run and in some other games. However, in some games tilting does work such as in Abduction and Death Racing. I wanted to try Raging Thunder but it would not get past the intro screen. Tried both default and special settings.

Wifi seems to be good and touch screen is responsive. Camera is typical for low end tablets.

I hope the g sensor can be fixed by a firmware update or tweak since this seems to be a nice tablet.
