[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharr18:
There is a very specific version of CW that bekkit put together for the G=Tab. The problem isn't the rom messing with CW, it usually is Rom Manager that will mess with it. Rom Manager usually will want updated, especially with CM installs.

I have had to nvflash the tablet in the past after upgrading CW via rom manager.

The other issue that is common, and I have had happen to my beloved Dinc, is having to repartition the storage. The groundwork for the Dinc was much, much more stable than the default tapNtap that is released with the tablet.

Something some people may also miss is the kernel for GB is much different than the kernel with froyo.

Rest assure, bricking this thing seems to be an accomplishment and almost impossible. Trust me, I have given my best effort to do so. With nvflash or adb almost any tablet can be recovered.

One last thing to look out for, how internal storage is handled. Some roms use internal as emmc (like the Dinc), while others mount as sdcard. CW doesn't handle this switch gracefully. You can mount usb storage in advanced menu and move the recovery files over if needed.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
While dharr18 is mostly correct there are a few ROMs floating around out there that will have trouble with clockworkmod. TwoTapsX and TnT Lite 5.0 (both currently held from distribution by the developer) are based on a UAT build (3991) that require using the stock recovery and bootloader from build 3588+ to install correctly. There is some speculation that this may be the standard going forward.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dharr18:
Thanks KJ, I forgot about those two as I have not loaded them to date.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pagantek:
Yeah, I fell into that trap... really FUBAR'ed my tab until i had to nvflash a full recovery.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
You're welcome. I run TTX regularly (well... in between my attempts to find creative new ways to brick this thing...).
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Deacon,

The truth is there ARE some dire consequences. Bricking a G-Tablet is extremely hard,

but you can lose data. If something breaks on your tab and your have loaded a ROM

you do not have a warranty. There are risks involved.

And in my opinion a lot of people try to do too much too fast and too often wind up

in dire straights.

There are stickies on most of the recovery/problematic stuff. Good to read them first.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makto:
the problem isn't with the ROM

I follow roebeet and the tnt lite ROM - VS is updating their boot loader from 1.1 to 1.2 in some of their OTA updates. Mostly the 3588 and the 3991. If you are playing with those or it came installed then it can be a bit of a hassle depending on what ROM you are playing with. I updated my gtab to 3991 and was able to nvflash it back to 3588 and install vegan5.1 and tnt lite up to 4.2 without any issues. Just be sure to read up and be able to complete an nvflash if it gets ugly on you. I really recommend learning a little linux - nvflash is a breeze in there.

im looking for the roms that i can flash with clockwork recovery, so far ive done cognition and andromeda, im not sure enough in my abilities to try kernals and modems and anything to complex just yet, only simple straight forward install from sd card. any good suggestions would be helpful and thx in advance sorry if this is posted somewhere else.

[Captivate General] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
+1

most ROMS in the dev thread are flashable with CWM... most of the kernels and modems are flashable with CWM too and they are not any more difficult than flashing a ROM.

You can flash darkys from clockwork. But it's even easier using darkys app from the market.

Flasing kernels, modems, battery mods, etc, are just as easy to flash as roms. Most use CWM. You just need to make sure the zip file you download is CWM flashable.

Honestly your going to have to decide. The MyTouchHD runs a wide range of different ROMs, we have AOSP 2.2 and 2.3, we have Sense, MIUI, Espresso, Liquid and so many others.

Personally i love the AOSP skin, i like the light weight, super customizable and blazing fast. But some people like the added stuff that comes with Sense and Espresso... so you'll have to play around and see what you like.

I successfully flashed serendipity 6.3 to my phone. Before I did i backed up all apps and data with titanium backup and copied that folder to my computer desktop in case i needed it later. So i downloaded titanium backup from the market again and it didnt have any of my files. So I copied the folder from my desktop to my phone and it still doesnt have my apps so I can't restore them. Am i doing something wrong?

[G Tablet General] tsm26:
I received my G Tab yesterday and within 4-5 hours last night I had installed 4 different ROMs, installed multiple kernels, and tested a ton of apps on each. I even got in to a boot loop, couldn't get the standard market fix to work, when installing at one point it FCd and then said it couldn't install more, etc, but I worked them all out. A few things that I learned that may help people (All instructions are with TNT 4.4 but work with other ROMs in different directories)

Market fix:

The standard market fix that is floating around is not always sufficient. To be sure that it will work, you need Titanium Backup installed.

Steps

1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop

2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop

3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup

4. Select Backup/Restore tab

5. Select Google Services Framework

6. Select Wipe Data

7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)

8. Reboot your tablet

9. Open Market and you will have full market (I can't find anything I don't have)

----------------------------

For me, my boot loop came after installing 4 ROMS and on TNT 4.4 it crashed while using an app and went in to a loop. I had cleared everything in between all the installs but something must have been left over. I needed to repartition my sd card in CW. It worked great, but remember, select 2048, and for the second option select 0 or it won't work http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

Also, remember to back up the titanium backup folder and anything else to your computer before doing this. It will wipe everything.

-----------------------------

The last issue was when I was installing a few apps the market FCd and then when I went back in it wouldn't let me install the apps that were going to install. I tried all the regular things like wiping data and cache but it didn't work. What worked was removing the corresponding asec files within the .android_secure folder at root.

-----------------------------

Almost every single app I have installed works great. The only major problem so far? The Grooveshark app. TinyShark works though.
[G Tablet General] JustMeToo:
I just got my Gtab too. I installed VEGAn and the kernel to go with it with the latest ClockWorkMod. When I installed Titanium I got an error saying 'ROM is not rooted' or something similar to this.
[G Tablet General] NCC1701-E:
Thanks to all the devs that put their time and effort in making the G Tablet something worth having. Out of all the roms I still thought Vegan was the cat's meow. That being said I have since picked up a wi-fi Xoom. I am hoping from there to go to one of the new Galaxy Tabs this summer. I hope to see some cool stuff from the devs over in the Xoom threads. You guys never cease to amaze me.

[General Questions and Answers] miniaturepeddler:
I have been exploring different Rom on my HTC Evo and on my Nookcolor tablet, and I have been confronted with this issue:

My Rom manager on both devices is 3.0.1.4: My understanding is that this is the latest verison (as of Mar 31 2011).

My Evo's clockworkmod recovery is 3.0.0.5

My Nookcolor's clockworkmod recovery is 3.0.1.0

Is the clockworkmod recovery dependent on the device it is installed on (ie some android tablets never get updated), or does cockworkmod get updated over time (I manually updated the nookcolor from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.1.0 when I started messing with C7 Rom for the nook)

Do I need to update my evo or does the above principle apply (each device's appropriate revision level for clockworkmod recovery is unique).

Thanks

Robyn
[General Questions and Answers] miniaturepeddler:
None have the answer for me or can you point me in the right direction to educate myself. I have searched diligently both here on xda and openly on the web.

I really do want to understand.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
This is to avoid confusion about Google maps and Earth rotation feature.

Others report that their Maps and Earth apps do not rotate at all when they upgraded their ROM to XXJVK.

First, rotation gesture is quite different from other devices or versions.

To rotate, place two fingers, one on top of the other, then move horizontally along the screen.

If that didn't work, check Google Maps' version:

Go to Settings >> Applications >> Manage Applications >> All tab

Find Maps in the list and check version number.

If version is 5.0 or any version less than 5.2, then rotation is not possible without hacking

system's multitouch file.

Now go to Market and download latest version, 5.2.1.

*Some countries cannot download the latest version,

here is a link of the apk file of Maps 5.2.1:

http://www.mediafire.com/?1wynpj9vjo2zoc0

here is the link of a modified Maps 5.2.1:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=991654

How to install (for rooted devices only, credit to abhi0n0nakul):

Or you can try this alternative (for those who want the circular gesture):

*Warning: This might change your phone's multitouch implementation,

not just in the Maps application as the update will modify files in the /system/ folder.

But overall, in my experience, multitouch is somewhat much responsive with this fix.

Not just on Maps but also on other apps like gingerbread keyboard, as others also reported.

Please say thanks to nedoo:

Possible explanation by rlorange. Thank him by the way! :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
I would just like to add that there was another rotation method in the maps found in the original jvk firmware different to the one used previously and not at all Intuitive.

Many people might not have known how it works and concluded that rotation simply didn't work when in fact it did. Here's how it works:

Place two fingers together on the screen one ABOVE the other and sweep in an arc.

Not sure why this method replaced the older and better one. Please confirm if a market update changes back to the original

[Galaxy S I9000 General] taunotaneli:
I am using the latest official Maps (5.2.1) och my XXJVK (non-rooted) and this is the way to rotate it. Just pinch your fingers together on top of each other and sweep in an arc, as you said.

The old system is better, but this is actually a Maps feature and not a bug in the JVK.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] CrashV5:
Hi! i'm on JVK stock too, confirm that rotation works, simply change input mode.

I describe like, make a circle with two parallel finger :-)

The old one was really more intuitive, maybe there was some problem with non wanted rotation when you try to zoom..so they change...

[Galaxy S I9000 General] markdj57:
If the 2 finger vertically swipe is the new default then I think we should all give maps one star and bad reviews.

I have 5.2.1 on xxjvk and I cannot use the normal twisting rotation which was awesome in many iphone bashing ways, including the two salute to 3D.

Only thing works is the vertical two finger thing which is awkward to get the exact rotation you want or to rotate smoothly.

1 star incoming...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rlorange:
Ahh! See this change coincidentally came just as I flashed jvk so I thought it was related to jvk only.

I'm guessing google will change it back cos they will get heat for it!

Edit:, is it jvk only? Perhaps google maps thinks our phone with jvk is a nexus 1? Hmmmm running theory

For now :)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
Yes I also think that this should be enabled (included) by default, seems like that it "thinks" Galaxy S has optical or trackball navigation like some HTC models (N1...).

This is present with Gingerbread only JV1, JVK...hope that next iteration will deal with this...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
From what I can tell, it's like this:

Samsung forgot to add the android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml file - which is present in JS8 (that's a ROM I have on my laptop* and checked) so the phone *thinks* there is no distinct multi-touch, and that it has the crappy "multi-touch" that desire/nexus one etc have. For them, they have to use the two finger arc gesture because it'll get messed up using the normal gestures when the axis swap.

then i t install the mod apk but the installtion didn't work. any idea ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nedooo:
I think it could be signature.

So in order to apply this update on GB you need to fix permissions, most CWM does this by default, if not do it manualy :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jbdroid:
Did you clear the cached map tiles?

Try to clear it and reboot twice. If it still fails, do the alternative method as pointed out by nedooo :)

You dont need the map apk. Install maps off the market and then apply nadooo's zip to enable multi-touch rotation.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taomyn:
Would I be right that this simply replaces android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.distinct.xml with a corrected version, so we can simply do this manually if we want?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rawat:
XXJVK doesn't have the multitouch.distinct file. This would place it there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Taomyn:
Ah, but the script seems to also delete the non-distinct version:

ui_print("Installing Google Maps 5.0 Fix ..");
ui_print("packed by rori");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "mount", "/system");
show_progress(1, 15);
delete("/system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.touchscreen.multitouch.xml");
package_extract_dir("system", "/system");
run_program("/sbin/busybox", "umount", "/system");
ui_print("Installation complete!");
