Hey guys. There is a bunch of tutorials on how to install Android Market and a lot of them are long-winded and do unnecessary tasks.

So here it is. Dead simple.

You can jump in to whichever step you are currently at. If you're already rooted, just jump to step #4, for example.

> I haven't got Dingleberry:
1) Get the latest Dingleberry (currently v3.3.3) for your OS. Windows, Linux and Mac are supported.

> I'm not on 2.0.0.4869:
2) In Dingleberry, click on 'Firmware'. Then choose 2.0.0.4869 and Full. Click Download bar. When this is done, click Update.

> I'm not rooted:
3) In Dingleberry, click 'Dingle' (bottom of main page). You should get confirmation that "You are Dingled!" on your Playbook.

> I haven't installed Android Market:
4) Download the Android Market Script. In Dingleberry, click 'Install / SSH'. In the Installer section, choose File and select the market.script you just downloaded.


You should now be rooted on 2.0.0.4869 and have an Android Launcher and Android Market installed. Congratulations.

If we want to upgrade to 2.006149 ,is it better the full version or just the core os after installing the script ?

I don't know if I'll do it but it looks easy so nice job

Full 6149 is best.
You can use 7111 apps with 6149 Core too.

You need to choose Full OS when you downgrade/update.
Otherwise these apps won't work.

Should there be be a icon for android launch and market after running the script?

Yes. ADWLauncher EX should appear. Within it you should see Market.

[bdscds]

Strange the whole process went well but no adwl launcher ,I will try again thanks


Tried again with full 2004869 install and the script report android not installed after running it ?

[solardrgn]

sorry kinda new to this, but when you join the beta will you be timed and forced to update to the newest releases? and get locked out if you dont?
thanks

[xsacha]

Tried again with full 2004869 install and the script report android not installed after running it ?

Would suggest you didn't really do a full 4869 since Android isn't installed.

No need to join the beta. You can get all updates (and downgrades) using Dingleberry.

You are never forced to update.

[warren_walker]

Is 2.0.0.4869 required for the icon to show?

I tried installing on.6149/.7111 and no icon.

Is a reboot required?

[bdscds]

Ok let me get this straight,I should install the full 2.007111 then downgrade the core os to 2.004867, root , then run the market script to work propery? Is this the right sequence ,Can someone explain where I am going wrong?

[xsacha]

No, definitely not. You need full 4869.
It doesn't matter which firmware you 'come from', previous firmware files are wiped when you 'Update' anyway.

[bdscds]

I tried the procedure many times with the same results even though it tells me market is installed , there is no launcher icon

[xsacha]

Where does it say market is installed? Did it also say launcher is installed?

[bdscds]

It says: installing script

running script: market.script

android market script

completed . nothing else indicating any launcher?

[hubert_mroz]

I did a full OS downgrade and I think there is no internet connexion anymore.

So, I think that android launcher can't start...

[bdscds]

Looking at the root folder with winscp I see the launcher bar file in the devuser folder?

[ody360]

does a launcher come with the dingleberry process now? i always pre installed a launcher before dingling, ran that launcher while on full 4869, rooted, then updated to 6149

[hubert_mroz]

Ok! I'll try tomorrow

Merci beaucoup :-)

[xsacha]

It says: installing script
running script: market.script
android market script
completed . nothing else indicating any launcher?

This indicates that the script did not actually run.

ADWLauncher Ex is installed in market.script.


If ADWLauncher doesn't appear, it means it unzipped the Launcher.bar but didn't run the script. This usually means 1) malformed script or 2) older Dingleberry.

[ndiguy5]

Running the market.script disables my ability to run launchers on 4869. I have to reinstall the bars to be able to use android again. ADW is never installed. Once in android when I click market I just get the grey bars.

Thanks for all you have done on this xsacha.

[xsacha]

OK, I'm going to put up a new version (v3.3.3) that does more error checking.

For comparison, this is what i get when i run market.script on 3.3.2:

Mine doesn't look like that. No processes are killed.
