if I could suggest you also include busybox as lots of tools is missing from stock android for example "cp"... can't even copy stuff from command line.. i know... dumb..
Ok added these. The busybox you linked is actually that installer thing, so I used real one instead from other source. So here is r3 that comes with a file manager, better (?) terminal and busybox pre-installed:
I have edited your app names, Bud. I know they weren't links, and I also know that without market access most people need to resort to a bit of this or that, but lists of obviously cracked filenames aren't something we want to post here.

here is where I downloaded the android market (google play). the only issue I'm encountering is that I can't setup my account, it gives me an error saying unable to connect to server... anyone else having this issue?
You can install the gapps for gingerbread. Some info here. I did this by dropping the files in the appdata folder/system. It works, but I don't know if google would approve of it
I've been looking into that... from what I understand, even if you can get google play to work, you won't be able to download much unless you fool it into thinking you are using a device which is on its compatibility list. Getting the pandora itself onto the compatibility list seems unlikely.
I got google play to work, there must be some patch or hack that can trick compatibility, I mean how do all these cheap chinease tablets and gaming handhelds get around it?
it could be something to do with permissions and since we are using fat32 it might not have the right permissions?
Another quiery see how we make that partition is this the space installed files go? as im getting not enough memory messages trying to install chainfire 3d 3.3 on a 32 GB card which apart from the android install is empty?.
most of what you guys are asking must be modified in build.prop the majority of the apps that should appear in the google play store is pulled directly off the fingerprint on the /system/build.prop, to make your pandora "look" like an xperia play from the perspective of the android market add/modify your build.prop to have these lines
ro.product.model=R800i
ro.product.brand=SEMC
ro.product.name=Play
ro.product.device=zeus
ro.product.board=zeus
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
ro.product.manufacturer=Sony Ericsson
to remove the icon for the signal bar, add this line to your build.prop somewhere
Code:
hw.nophone=true
the apps get installed to your data partition which you create when you start the app, depending on how many apps you want installed, you may want to increase it from 150mb as that's a little low, some apps may be ~20mb... you can eat that 150mb up pretty quick. your additional storeage for media would be what's on the SD2 slot.
EDIT: file browser, terminal and busybox in r3 is working great for me seeing how my wifi is basically worthless... r3 is actually useable now for installing apps etc. Played around with some emulators just for S&G and nes and gba are very playable, snes n64 and psx are playable but are very slow/stuttery.
I'm away from my pandora, but this morning was thinking it'd be cool to get some antutu benchmark scores.. might show us what's slowing things down, and some bottlenecks and what can be focused on for some optimizations.
