Here are the steps and instructions that I used to install google market 3.1.3 on my Ematic 10” eGlide Pro II XL running Android Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0. This install took less than 15 minutes and worked for me the very first time. Every app that I have downloaded installs and runs without any problems and all have updated automatically and I am quite pleased with the results. I used the standard file manager that came pre-installed on the tablet to access the microSD card.
So after reading Roman's instructions on the website I installed my microSD card and went to his box account (see following link below) and downloaded the files to my computer. Plugged my tablet into the USB cable and logged onto the tablet's microSD card and copied the following five files to the root directory of my microSD card: (com.google.android.apps.books.apk, GoogleServiceFramework.apk, OneTimeInitializer-signed.apk, superuser.root.android.su-46-3.13.apk, and vending-3.1.3-signed.apk). I then disconnected my tablet from the computer and opened the tablet's file manager and at the top of the screen tapped on the “SD” icon to access the APK files on the microSD card.
The following instructions were originally modified by “Roman” from the following tutorial to fit the Ematic Eglide Pro III How To Install Android Market on Pandigital Nova/SuperNova (The Easy Way) - The Digital Reader . In addition he has the files that I used, and that you will need to complete this installation free to download on his cloud account @ https://www.box.com/s/3e3c0a4196df0e52329b . From that point on I followed “Roman's” instructions as italicised below:
*For this process, I used onetime-initializer.apk and android vending 3.1.3.apk app from this process* and scoured the internet for the other two apps, google books and googleservicesframework.apk
*Before you begin, have your google account set up with your tablet, under the Settings- Accounts & Sync.
Troubleshooting:
If you are new to the Android operating system (OS) when the instructions tell you to install any file, all you have to do is tap on the file name while you are in the file manager. I did no create these instructions for adding the android market to this tablet, but it worked for me, so I will not be able to answer any technical questions regarding this install. All I can tell you is that I followed the steps in order and it worked for me without any glitches. I have included the address of the website from which I found Roman's original comment to another user on how he installed the Android market on his eGlide tablet on 'The eBook Reader Blog', his comment is from May 16, 2012 Ematic eGlide Prima and eGlide Pro III – Cheap Android 4.0 Tablets | The eBook Reader Blog . Hope you find this information useful, it was probably the deciding factor that tipped the scale in the favor of my purchasing the Ematic HD Pro II XL. Leave a comment if this installation works for you. Maybe this post can even be made into a sticky for the forum. Good luck

So after reading Roman's instructions on the website I installed my microSD card and went to his box account (see following link below) and downloaded the files to my computer.

*Before you begin, have your google account set up with your tablet, under the Settings- Accounts & Sync.
- Install first onetimeinitiailizer-signed.apk (Version 2.3.3)
- Reboot/restart the tablet device. after rebooted, install Googleservicesframework.apk . it should install, the version i used was 2.3.3 i believe and then reboot. (Version 2.3), after you reboot, googleservicesframework.apk version may change and read back to its initial stock version 4.0.1-223304.
- Making sure your google account is set up with your tablet under Accounts in the Settings, install Google Books, com.google.android.apps.books.apk. after you install it, Open it and select your account once it prompts you. it should take you to google Books main menu. after, reboot/restart once again (Version 1.0.16)
- Now install vending-3.1.3-signed.apk which is GOOGLE MARKET app version 3.1.3. (Its not Google play, but Market prior to google play. It works just the same, downloading and updating apps and other content.) – after you install it, open it, hopefully it opens, you will be asked to “Allow Access” two or three times, accept and allow access. Also you will be prompted to Accept their Terms of Service, which is standard. (Version 3.1.3) After these steps, google market 3.1.3 should be working on your tablet 3.1.3.
Troubleshooting:
- If it doesn’t work and you get the message “Unfortunately Google Market has closed” EVERY TIME you start it, try to redo the process again. But if you are, first CLEAR DATA for Google Market and Google Books. After you do, then uninstall them. Reboot and try the process again.
- Also, it could be that these versions are not compatible with your device, if so i suggest you look for different versions online of these same apps, which can be found for Gapps (various releases) at Rootzwiki website and also XDA developers, people there have been very helpful in figuring this out.
