Installing Gapps on Teclast A10t ICS 4.0.3
Update 2012.03.28
There is a new firm ware available v1.04 ICS which included google apps so if you think this procedure is difficult or just like the new firmware check this thread
New ICS Firmware for Teclast A10t (4.0.3.v1.04) is available

update 2012.03.25

As some people were haveing trouble with the calendersync and some other issue with the previus scripts so i clean the and rewrote the script for installing the Google apps Now it contains latest version of gapps and market (google play)
as before this scripts cleans the system/preinstall folder and also delete some files (QQ messenger , wiebo, and two more) from the the system/app folder
its installs su application and you have option to change the icon size.
it also installs youtube and skype with working video chat.

Installation Procedure

1. Download and extract this file to your computer gapps-ics-2012.03.25.hadron.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
2. Connect your A10t to computer with debug mode enabled and install the usb drivers(if not installed before)
3. Run the Install_gapps.bat
4. Tablet will restart after finishing,
5. Add you google account

Please give feedback for other users if it works

i have tested it on my tab by fresh installing ics.v1.02 and using this script and its working perfect! i can sync gmail contacts calender etc. This script also fix the "Android.process.acore" error

2012.03.23
If anybody need driver for usb debug mode (win7 64 bit) , use this:
USB Drivers Windows 7 - Vista - 64Bit
Thanks to Zol77 for sharing drivers

2012.03.18 Video Chat in Skype
if you want the working video chat in skype then use this apk file only and dont upgrade it from market!
Skype.apk - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download

Android.process.acore
if you have this error
please check your system/app folder. i think it does not have the contacts.apk . you need to copy this file to system/app folder and set the permissions like the other files (any ICS contacts.apk is ok). Root explorer is the best choice or if you know how to use it then you can use adb to copy and set the permission on that file. after doing this reboot the tablet it will fix the problem!

if you still have the problem then go to settings ->apps->All tab then find all the applications which have the contact in their name and then clear the data and cache for that applications and then restart.
Contacts.apk
Contacts.apk - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download


goodluck

how did you delete system files with no root?

how did you delete system files with no root?

most of the ICS builds are already rooted so is the ICS for A10t. so you dont need to root it again. You just need a file explorer which can mount system folder as r/w(read write). Best choice is Root Explorer. As you dont have the market you can google it for the apk download.

other choice is to use ADB
I suppose you have installed ADB (if not just download the newtech25.zip file, decompress it, connect your device to PC using USB cable in debug mode (its default mode in A10t ICS) when asked for the drivers, choose the location option and browse to the newtech25 decompressed folder for drivers. Once drivers installed open command prompt change directory to newtech25 folder and write command
adb devices

after pressing enter it will start some services and then if device connected properly it will show your device number then
adb df
this command will show the used and free space )

go to command prompt and

adb remount
adb shell
cd /system/app
rm appname1.apk
rm appname2.apk

exit

I have a "little" problem installing gapps with the 1.02 ICS version (fresh install)

At first boot, this is the partition info:

Filesystem             Size   Used   Free   Blksize
/dev                   407M    44K   407M   4096
/mnt/asec              407M     0K   407M   4096
/mnt/obb               407M     0K   407M   4096
/system                251M   235M    16M   4096
/data                 1007M   102M   904M   4096
/cache                 251M     4M   247M   4096
/mnt/sdcard              5G    48K     5G   4096
/mnt/secure/asec         5G    48K     5G   4096

So, 16mb in system is not enouth for "newtech25" script. It gives multiples "not enought space" errors, and crash after installing "essential_apps".

I can reach 49mb easily deleting the content of "/system/preinstall". But according the .bat, I will need aprox. 83mb. I have deleted also some apps in "/system/app", but cannot reach enought free space.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I look for more apps in system to delete?

Thanks for all!

No you are not doing anything wrong!

actually newtech25 script install so many apps. there are even apps which you can install from the Market later on
this is what i did
Move all the apps in the newtech25_for_ics4.0.3\ICS\gapp to a new folder which are available in the market for example

CarHomeGoogle.apk
currents.apk
GoogleMap.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
Music.apk
OneTimeInitializer.apk
PlusOne.apk
YouTube.apk
you can also remove the file from newtech gapp folder which are already installed in your device system/app folder
then go to folder newtech25_for_ics4.0.3\ICS\s2
and move this file to some other place
libpolarisoffice.so
this is around 12 mb file

don't edit the batch file. By moving the file you will get the file not found error when you run the batch file but its ok . it have no effect on other files.

now clean all system drive by deleting the unnecessary file from /app and preinstall folder, factory rest you tablet, run the scrip batch file. i hope this time it will work

Installing Gapps on Teclast A10t ICS 4.0.3

You can install the Google apps using following instruction link Allwinner A10 General FAQ (non tablet specific) . Go to FAQ # 4 and follow the instructions , dont use the the Lordsbm's script, use the 2nd link (newtech25.zip) . when running the .batch select the option b and it will do every thing for you. Please read all the instruction care fully! i used this script successfully.
(you might want to remove some apps from the system/apps folder to free some space on system drive before installing gapps other wise you might have "no space on system drive error" . to delete you can use the any root explorer and browse to the app folder and then delete the file , for example qq, some games and other things like that ) you can install them back once the google market is working.

goodluck

Not sure what you mean by 'root explorer'.

I have extracted the script to a folder on my desktop ..and there the files are ..right there in the 'apps' folder and in ICS\gapps folder.

Is there any reason I cannot just delete the apk. files I do not want prior to running the script? I can get to them easily enough.

Thanks ...

1. yes you can delete the file you dont want from the nevtech25 script folders no problem.
2. but problem is when you run the script and it copies the file to system/app folder of a10t, you will get the no space error as system partition have only 16-20mb free memory so you need to delete some files from A10t' system/app folder and system/Pre-install folder to get 40-50 mb free space on system partition. In order to do this you need to use root explorer or some other explorer which can mount that partition as r/w.
good luck

Still learning!
If I delete the apk file, what does it load that I would need to look for with a root explorer?

And the obvious question to me is when someone writes these scripts ... wouldn't it just be best to leave most of these apk files/programs off ..and then load what one wants after the upgrade and running of script?

Also, I think I run the same script on my Onda Vi30W with 512 ram ..and it had enough room. Why would a pad with twice the room have trouble?

Thanks for taking the time ..and trouble ...with me !

actually you can not delelte the apk files from system folder without root explorer . And you should delete the games and qqpad and some other apk which you don't need from the system/app folder to make the space.

For your 2nd question of space problem , usually its good practice to use just enough space for the system folder because its wasted if there is free space and can not be used for other applications . All the applications (non system ).are installed in some other folder (data/ I guess ).

And for the script. You right it should be like that but people who.write these scripts my be don't have so much time to customize everything.

Works perfect. I have some fc on "gapps" process now, but maybe I have deleted some apk that I shouldn't. Also, I have very low free time... maybe this afternoon I will reinstall and do it the right way.

Thanks!
