Hi All

Well finally had some free time this afternoon so updated my Touchpad from 7 to 9. All went OK thanks to the guides on here and first impressions are very nice, look so much better. The only issue i have so far is when I go into Market there are 11 apps which need an update, I click update and get a bar saying updating with two tiny lines whizzing through it, but thats it, it never actually seems to download. My wifi is up and running and tested in Dolphin and can browse websites OK. I also installed the latest GAPPS when doing the install, any thoughts anyone? Cheers!

How did you update? (Did you wipe data? Wiping data is highly recommended when installing CM9)

What did you install? (Alpha2 or nightly build?)

What version of gApps did you install?

You could find Google Playstore in settings.... applications... manage apps... all and clear data on it.

Hi Colchiro

Nope, I never wiped the data...

Alpha 2 installed and GAPPS gapps-ics-20120304-signed.zip.

I have tried wiping the data but this does not help. I have also noticed I cannot download new apps, basically get the same thing, a bar saying downloading but with nothing happening?

colchiro

I have seen that for a couple apps, but eventually between clearing data in Play and rebooting, it eventually worked.

I'm running the modded Market from LCD Density Modder Pro with a dpi of 132 and blamed it on that.

I had the same issue on my HP Touchpad. I downloaded the new Market (Play Store) apk from here:

(Google Play Store 3.4.6)
http://ardroid.net/apps/com.android.vending-2.apk

Then just side loaded it and it resolved my issue.

Thanks for getting back to me. I downloaded the latest google play from your link and installed OK, cleared the cache and user data etc, but still getting the same issue. Everything works fine except when updating, it just has a bar with little moving lines going through it and moving, but no matter how long I leave nothing installs, any more ideas guys?

colchiro

Is this ANY app or just certain apps?

So you did format data (which wipes all personal data)?

The latest nightly changed something for Market. I don't know, but you do need to reinstall Market after installing it.

MF1

All apps, even new ones from the market. Also cleared the data and cache a few times, reinstalled gapps, also tried the link from above, nothing seems to help. The rest of the system is great and have also downloaded data for apps outside of the market and that was fine, strange huh?

colchiro

Very strange. Are you running 160 dpi (default)?

Can you try the latest nightly, followed by latest gApps (20120304)?

I'd format system, data, cache and clear Dalvik cache, then flash the rom and gApps.

MF1

Ah. Not sure what lines I'm running, both 120 and 160 zips were in the cminstall folder, I can check tonight if you can tell me how to?

As for the rest, I'll try and muddle through and see if I can :-)

colchiro

Both? 160 is best for market, but I'm not sure it's going to cause your issue. Both on the other hand, not sure what that does. I would assume change it to one, then the other.

If you want to change the dpi, there's an app for that.

MF1

Ah, I presume from that I was not meant to put both zip files in the install folder, only other problem is I won't be able to download that app from the market, have you a link to an apk? Sorry!

colchiro

If it works, you can DL from market.

MF1

Hi Cochiro. I think both of the links are linking to gapps? Also how do I format system etc, I know how wipe dalvik cache, thanks for your help and patience :-)

colchiro

Sorry, you can find the latest nightly here: https://twitter.com/#!/CM_Tenderloin

If you don't know how to format system, how did you format data? They're in the same menu.

1. (To use recovery, up/down volume buttons are used to navigate up and down, press the power button to go back, and press the "home" button to do the highlighted task. Only briefly press the buttons since it's easy to skip a step by holding down a button too long.)
2. Press up or down volume button until "mounts and storage" is highlighted, press "home" button.
3. use up/down to highlight "format /system", press "home"
4. highlight "yes - format", press "n" (always watch for errors)
5. when that finishes, highlight "format /cache", press "home"
6. highlight "yes -format", press "home"
7. highlight "format /data", press "home".
8. highlight "yes -format", press "home"
9. press power to go back
10. highlight advanced menu, press "home"
11. highlight "clear Dalvik cache", press "home"

This was a copy and paste and edited from memory, so it may not be perfect.

Ok, done that exactly to the letter, now rebooting and it seems to be stuck in a loop, I get the initial cyanogen mod green logo saying loading then it bounces back to the moboot seen and starts again...

colchiro

Did you flash CM and gApps after?

MF1

Yup, luckily I found and downloaded another build before the one from twitter, just ran that and we are looking good, it's now downloading 148 apps from the market and they are actually coming down, so fingers crossed, all sorted, thanks for your time and help colchiro, much appreciated. Just one last question, do I need to set the touchpad to 160 lines resolution now?

colchiro

Your TP comes stock at 160 dpi. If you're satisfied with that, just leave it.

If you want something different (I run 132, which Dalingrin has stated is optimal), you need to run an app to change it and also mod your Google Play to work with it (or you'll have apps that say "incompatible"). I use that paid app I mentioned before to do that.

So were you formatting data like this before?

Looks like you're not the only one to have trouble with last night's build: [ROM] UNOFFICIAL CM9 Nightly Builds - RootzWiki - Page 53

MF1

Yup, that is exactly the problem I had, sticking on the ICS splash. Lucky I had the other build already downloaded. So how's your knowledge with titanium pro. The market tried to download 148 apps, but hung after 40 or so. I rebooted and went into market but it did not start to download the rest. I think it only does it the first time. Anyhow, I restored the rest of the apps using my titanium backup, that was all fine and I now have all my apps back on my touchpad. The only problem is the market seems to think the apps still need downloading, makes sense as they did not come through the market now. Is there any way to get the market to know the apps are downloaded and relink them back so I get updates in future? Hope all that makes sense :-)

colchiro

Clear data in Market again.

I've had trouble with TIBU with ICS, but it's getting better.

MF1

Cool, I'll give that a go, cheers colchiro!

Canoli

Im having the same problem. Where did you find the downloads that worked for you. Thanks

MF1

Off the rootzwiki website, not sure of the exact url, but links through to it from the cyanogen website from touchpad page in forums.

MF1

Sorry, got that wrong, it was off goo-inside.me and in the top right corner in the search I typed in touchpad, hope this helps.

Canoli

Do u remeber which file u used. Did u get gapps there also

Canoli

Thanks got it to work
