Unzip it. There is an instructions file. IF you already have ADB drivers installed on your PC use the USB method. If you don't then install the ADB wirless and use the wireless .cmd file.
... and remove REM comments. However, then Maps doesn't run, and previously downloaded apps all get renamed to "com.google....", so I'm guessing that line didn't need to be there in the first place. "Play Store" still launches OK, however.
I downloaded and unzipped this file. Nothing works. When I tried to install Talk.apk, I got Application was not installed. My only choice was to click on Done. Ditto for all the other apps.
Now, I am a bit confused because I was sent to this link as a solution to get Google Play to work with my Alpha2. So now what do I do?
So I install the Android SDK with the default "Android 4.1" and "Google USB Driver" d/l and I should be good to go for the USB install?
Apologies if this is a stupid question and appreciate your effort on getting this together.
Thanks for the hard work... right now when I plug in the device I get a message showing "Android" with red X saying "No Driver Found". I had downloaded and installed the ADB SDK but looks like the USB driver isn't pulled down yet. Pulling that down now and hopefully I can then get the Google Play to install.
USB
Plug Your tablet into your computer via USB. Make sure you have USB debuggin enabled under System-Application-Developement.
Double click Install_Play_FullGapps_USB.cmd
Well... something went wrong and I had to reflash the Skypad Alpha 2. Not sure what happened, but I decided to not use this particular Google Play / Google Apps installer and use the other in the forum that appears to just be Google Play. It worked fine for me. Maybe something with the GAPPS that was in addition on this one caused a problem. Will never know since I don't have the time to try and diagnose what happened.
How come we can't just download the Google Play APK file (available in many places on the net) and install from tablet?
Besides the fact it doesn't seem to work as I have tested it... I have downloaded a few different versions and tried, but when you go to start it it loads and closes immediately.
I know you have your installer here that appears to work, but was just curious why we couldn't just install from their APK file.
Is there something special done with the different APK's you have bundled?
The Alpha 2 had 4.0.3 but they should be compatible. the info on Goo.im shows packages being 4.0.3-4. it is a little dated so it will need to update after it installs.
