[HOW-TO] Android Market on ICS
Posted: Sat Jan 28, 2012 10:21 pm
Hi all,
I've successfully managed to get Android Market running on ICS! Here's how: (This guide is for Ubuntu and using a 3 partition setup, and the guide assumes that your android partition is called ANDROID, and your data partition is called DATA)
1) Install ICS as per usual (3 partition method), and make sure it boots,
2) Grab GoogleServicesFramework.apk from http://cmw.22aaf3.com/gapps/gapps-gb-20 ... signed.zip (a zip of all the Google Apps), and install it on the Joggler. Make sure this is done before continuing! Add a Google Account.
3) Install Android Market 3.4.4 from http://www.redmondpie.com/android-marke ... -it-first/. Optional: rename this to market.apk for simplicity later on
4) Download FuriusISOMount:
4a) On Ubuntu:
4b) Else: Check http://www.marcus-furius.com/?page_id=170 for other packages and source
5) Plug in your Joggler USB in the computer
6) Go to FuriusISOMount (under Accessories on my install) and select system.img in the Android folder. Select mount via Loop, and click mount.
7) Enter this in Terminal (assuming you follow this guide to the letter, may not work if you didn't!):
(the first cd system_img is to check that the IMG has been created) If it says that the directory is read only, make sure you have used sudo, or try doing sudo -i as the first command when you open the terminal (opens as root)
8) Unplug the USB from your PC and boot ICS.
9) Try to open Android Market. It should force close. If it doesn't, and Android Market loads (asking you to accept Terms & Conditions), then skip to step 15.
10) Unplug your Joggler, and insert the USB into the PC again.
11) Open a new Terminal, and type in this...
What you have just done is remove the data for Android Market (for some strange reason, Clear Data within ICS doesn't work)
12) Eject USB, Plug into Joggler.
13) Select "Market" from the Launcher
14) It will give a couple of "Market is not responding" errors. Choose "Wait" each time
15) It should eventually take you to a screen which features a loading circle and the text "Loading". For those of you with fast internet, this should take about 30 seconds. If not, go and make a cup of tea/coffee/a beverage of your choice
15) Accept Market T&Cs
16) Download apps
17) ...
18) Profit!
