have you tried both the things you mentioned in your post above? I've begun working on them, but its taking awhile to sent to device, restore, etc. Do you know of a faster way of doing this?

[yugami]

I have just been copying the files using adb onto the edge then using a 2nd window where I'm in the shell (adb shell) to copy the file where it goes as root.

So would Kickstarter work for something like this?

[emusan]

I would think something like chipin would work better, as with Kickstarter there is often different options to pay different amounts of money, and from what I've seen, if you want to donate a value that isn't on there you would have to do some odd things to do so...

com.google.android.gm-20110527-134920.tar.gz
Has a db named mailstore.entourageedge.fake@gmail.com.db which is probably the problem.

When you resetup your account its looking for a database named mailstore.YOUREMAILNAME@gmail.com.db

gmail.db in the same directory only has entry in the preferences table and thats the email address keyed to a column called first_time (currently set to 1)

2 thoughts -
1) Set first_time to 0 and see what happens
2) rename the db that is named after your email address and see if that works.

com.google.android.gsf also contains a database talk.db that has an accounts table which contains the email address used to set this up.

Ware are the files located?

[emusan]

they are part of the gappsbackup.zip available from my site here: linkey(link is also in first post). You will have to extract the contents of this .zip file somewhere, then filter through its contents for the .tar.gz archives you want(there are also .apk.gz files which hold the backups of the gapp .apk files).

If you don't mine my asking, are you any good with android hacking? lol we could use a few good android dev's right now(I think we have a few but more is always better )

Did this work at all? Is the market working now?

Unfortunately I don't think that it is working yet, but we are working on it. Unfortunately I've been rather busy lately with some end of the year stuff for school as well as work, hopefully we'll have something soon, but I can't make any promises.

I got market installed, but am unable to download.

did you use the files from my server? If so then this is a common problem and we are aware of it, we are working to fix it but so far we haven't had much luck. I've been a bit busy lately with this being my last week of "school" and all, but next week I'll try to put in some time working on this and some other eDGe related things... Does gmail and the other google apps work(aside from talk and market)?

[ExMORTIUS]

Ok good in a way, its not just my device. I so adb catlog gives me

E/CheckinTask( 8767): Checkin failed: https://android.clients.google.com/checkin
(request #0)
E/CheckinTask( 8767): java.io.IOException: Rejected response from server: HTTP/1
.1 400 invalid hardware identifier: "BF30144100782" is not a valid MEID (expect
14 hex digits)

so looking around in the data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db - main I see market_force_checkin = 1
i will change an see what happens.
I forgot what the mount point is for the pocket Edge can you tell me what it is.
Thank you

in the provided google apps there is a reference in com.google.android.gsf-20110527-134934.tar data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases -talk.db edit the db with sqlitebrowser_200_b1_win open the db and go to accounts and there is entourageedge.fake@gmail.com. I tried to change it but google system framework would F/C.

[emusan]

Yes, entourageedge.fake@gmail.com was the throwaway account I used to make the backups so none of my personal info would get stolen. It's good to see we have another person working on this. We may have market yet.

Which gapps are these? Cyanogen's wiki has 8 versions....
