[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akodoreign:
Ok, I give (well sort of) stuck at 3 birds screen for gingerbread roms.

Need one of the better brains on this one. I'm not sure if solvable without one of the big guys having one of these troublesome woot tablets.

Story up till now.

I have a G tablet, I have had one since November 2010. (black friday sears).

On my tablet I have never had any issues installing any rom/kernel and it at least booting (ones designed for gtablet)

I impressed work with them so much that during the Woot sale a few weeks back, the university bought 11 of these tablet for other techs.

So I stepped up and decided to flash them all (since tap n tap doesn't support several things such as WPA2 enterprise).

Now on the first 2 tablets I got ahold of they would not load any gingerbread rom on this forum, not vegan experementals, not either one of the asops, nor cm7 .... etc..

But they will run TNT lite and vegan 1 5b11.....

One of the units came to me with fc issues out of the box... that one loaded and ran gingerbread just fine..... (vegan experementals + pershot kernal + gapps)

The one my step father purchased from woot runs gingerbread asop + pershot + gapps fine as well

Got to work today tried a few things on another one of these tablets and it gets stuck at the veiwsonic 3 birds screen.

So these are all the methods broken down by tablet.

Tablet 1 -

Boot to stock

Mount tablet as usb

extract CW internal to device

mount usb

Reboot recovery

Reboot CW recovery

Copy over GB Asop

Copy over gapps

Flash said above

stuck at "viewsonic" screen

Ok...

Partition memory 2048/0

mount

Copy over gb asop, gb experementals, gapps

Try all of them...

Viewsonic screen..

ok

partition

mount

Copy over vegan 5.1 5.11 and pershot kernal

flash

Bingo we have vegan tab....

Hmmm..

2nd tablet

Ok lets try this again

Boot to stock

Mount tablet as usb

extract CW internal to device

mount usb

Reboot recovery

Reboot CW recovery

Copy over GB experementals

flash

stuck at viewsonc screen

partition 2048/0

mount

copy over experementals

flash

stuck at viewsonic

copy over vegan 5.1 / 5.11

flash (no kernal this time)

bingo we have froyo .... still no gb

Tablet 3- Troubled begginings

Set time zone - Force crash here....

Copy over micro sd and extract to micro sd card

Flash CW

lets try again

Copy over asop + gapps + pershot

Bam reboot and were in---- ran perfectly.

So I go... AHHA.. Must be micro SD is the key...

Tablet 4 ---

Bring over same micro sd card with me.

Use it to install CW

Install asop +gapps+pershot

froze at "Viewsonic"

WTF....

hmmmmm

Repartiton 2048/0

stuck

repartition 4096/0

stuck

repartition 4096/32

stuck

etc...

Repartitioned 2048/0

Installed vegan 5.1 / 5.11

bingo we have a live tab....

So I really don't know what is causing this. any thoughts on any of it would be greatly appreciated.

Only thought is hardware revision.. *shrug*
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pnuts:
Did you do the stock OTA update before flashing any roms?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akodoreign:
On tablet 4 I did.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bill1253:
I got cm7 on my woot gtab finally.

I repartitioned to 4096/256.

NVFlash

booted in to stock > plugged in to pc > usb transferred cm .8

installed cm .8

booted back to stock > usb transferred rom + gapps

boot recovery > formated boot,system,cache,data and wipe davlik cache

mount system & data

install rom then gapps

mount system ( it unmounts after rom install, cache was still mounted)

“wipe data/factory reset”

reboot

on mine- it took 30-60 secs to go from viewsonic screen to the cm boot animation and 1-2 mins it loaded up

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Gentlemen -- and others reading this thread:

Please don't get people started re-partitioning the way you have just posted!!!???!!!

I can't pull the reason off the top of my head -- but the 2048 and 0 has been the

standard since last November. I do remember that it will foul things up.

If you want to experiment with it, fine. But if you keep posting and pushing it you

may start another round of problems for folks that don't need problems.

IMHO.

Rev

EDIT, HERE'S THE ANSWER: The 2048 figure has been set for a long time because other values

(particularly 4096) caused issues with the Market. Wouldn't allow downloads.

The second value is a cache and the the understanding is that Android doesn't use it, so

it's just a waste of space.

Android is not well-documented, but that is the wisdom behind 2048/0.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoulderGeek:
I would agree with butchconner. I am not a developer, but I am a UNIX systems administrator.

In the "old days" when RAM was hideously expensive ($7,000 for 16MB of RAM), we used a rule of thumb that swap should be 1-2.5 times the physical RAM. Disk was cheaper than RAM, hence virtual memory.

Now, memory generally exceeds requirements. I can understand why one would want not to have your swap go to flash nvram, since nvram is slow and has limited write cycles. But, letting the system swap to nvram _and_ to less swap than you have memory for just seems counter productive.

I partitioned mine to 2048/0 and it runs great.

My Archos 70 has only 256MB RAM, and I could see a benefit from 256mb - 512mb of configured swap space, as it appears memory constrained in 256MB RAM.

Hope this helps.

fine and good and all, but red hering all the same. still can't get gingerbread to work on a large majoity of the woot tablet i have come across.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
That's the best I can offer. Sorry I can't help you.

Please remember that Gingerbread is not out for the

G-Tablet and what you are using is experimental.

It may not be perfect!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pceasar:
Yea I don't think this has to do with experimental some of the bootloaders or something are fowled up on some tabs why does it work on some and not others?

My coworker and I both bought the tabs at the same time and his flash ginger no problem and mine sticks at the birds.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chadness:
My Woot tablet works great, no problem with Gingerbread. I DID let it do the OTA update before I started hacking - not sure if that made a difference.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akodoreign:
Wish that it did. I tried this on both tablet 4 and tablet 5 (last night) with no effect.

I rolled tablet 3 to stock 3588 from roebeet's recovery mod

Only thing I haven't tried is skipping CW all together and do it all from update.zip s .

May give that a shot today.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Law Ninja:
It's alive!

I skipped the repartition (left it at default), but I was actually able to boot into a Gingerbread ROM! I followed your instructions to the T.

An additional note for the NVFlash, I followed roebeet's instructions to do a restore via NVFlash, although, I did not update to 3588 (it said it was already up-to-date?): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Thanks!

EDIT: the Tap UI version that is installed from the NVFlash I performed is 2638. I have completed the steps above again with a different ROM (CM7) and it worked like a champ again.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
Do NOT partition to anything other than 2048 and 0. You WILL have market problems otherwise. If you load a Gingerbread rom and it stops at the birds you must nvflash to stock and then you will okay. I have walked about 20 people through this in the last 2 weeks and it works everytime. Something is different in the partitioning on these newer tabs and Gingerbread dont like it. It's not the bootloader and not clockwork
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Law Ninja:
Yeah, I left it at 2048/0; you actually shouldn't have to repartition it with the default settings anyway. I haven't had a problem and haven't needed to repartition it when going between Gingerbread ROMs.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jetguy35:
Any chance you could walk me through it? I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong otherwise.

You can join irc but the first thing that will be asked is do you have the drivers installed and can you see the tab from a pc.

[General Questions and Answers] Korstovor:
Adobe Reader is so frustrating without a search function! However, it turns out Adobe Reader does search! You're just need to update Adobe Reader!

Adobe reader does not update automatically unfortunately... I think it's because version 10 is called "Adobe Reader X" and v9 was just named "Adobe Reader".

I'm assuming here that you're using Adobe Reader 9, so if you search for "Adobe Reader" in the market, the first result should be the latest Adobe Reader, which is version X (ten). It should give you the option to update, empowering you with search capabilities, a scroll bar and a much nicer interface :)

The way Adobe should be!
[General Questions and Answers] dm5530:
Do you find reading and searching pdf's on a smartphone acceptable? Screen seems to small to me to make that experience worthwhile.
[General Questions and Answers] robearg:
I don't know what is happening, but I can't find Adobe Reader in the Marketplace. Could it be because I am on 1.5?
[General Questions and Answers] Korstovor:
Well as usual it depends on what you need from your phone. I can completely understand if some people never use Adobe reader on their phone, as you say, the screen can't compare to a 20-30 inch desktop monitor.

I've been using mine recently for a document with some exam questions on it that i've been working through while on the bus/train. It's got 640 pages and it doesn't always save your page when you close/reopen adobe, so instead of searching or using the scroll bar (adobe 9 didn't have these features), I had to scroll to the page I was at, which took a while when I started to near the end lol. So I'm glad I've now got Adobe X.

@robearg

Em, pass, dunno, probably :(

When I search for "Adobe Reader" it's the first result.

It's not difficult in C# under Windows Mobile .NET as the image below can testify, but it is no good on your Desire HD.

I'm a WinMo developer, not Android, but if anyone wants to port this code into Java under Android, here's the code to do it. Shouldn't be too difficult.

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace RndLetters
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
string tmp = new string(' ', 50);
Random rnd = new Random();

public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
int i, j;

listBox1.Items.Clear();

if (textBox1.Text.Length > 0)
{
for (j = 0; j < numericUpDown2.Value; j++)
{
tmp = "";
for (i = 0; i < numericUpDown1.Value; i++)
tmp+=textBox1.Text[rnd.Next(textBox1.Text.Length)];
listBox1.Items.Add(tmp);
}
}
}
}
}

P.S. RndLetters.exe is included in the zip file. It is compiled for .NET CF 2.0, but should run on all later versions.

# lol it's possible to create a random NUMBER generator but it isn't possible to make a random LETTER generator. Lol what is the diffrence?
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
The above code just picks a random character from the given string and adds it to the current one until it reaches the required length. It could not give a damn what is in the string.

Give it the digits 0-9 and it will churn out random numbers :-

[General Questions and Answers] mirror4me:
Simply assign each number a letter. Same difference.
[General Questions and Answers] stephj:
Android uses Java which is not a million miles from C#, although there are some subtle differences.

This is the Java code for a console application that takes length, repeat and string as command line arguments, in that order. Note that there is zero error handling; get the parameters wrong and it will just throw an exception.

import java.util.Random;

public class Test
{
public static void main(String []args)
{
int i,j;
Random rnd = new Random();

for(j=0;j<Integer.parseInt(args[1]);j++)
{
for(i=0;i<Integer.parseInt(args[0]);i++)
{
System.out.print(args[2].charAt(rnd.nextInt(args[2].length())));
}
System.out.println();
}
}
}

As per the following:

C:\PROGRA~1\Java\JDK16~1.0_2\bin>java Test 20 5 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Somehow you will have to fit some code similar to the above into a "Hello World" Android java program, and wire it up to Android textboxes, buttons, labels, etc. and their associated events. This is where my Android development knowledge ends, (at present), so it is over to the Android Development gurus.

Well, if you open the zip file, the PNG dimensions are 512x256, probably because it compresses better.

Tips for getting a Boot Animation to work...

This thread looks a little stale, but just in case, I thought I might give you some tips on what helped me.

I recently modified a boot animation and, afterwards, all I could get was a blank screen. I discovered the following as I got mine to work:

The PNG files can have almost any dimensions. I have downloaded animations with all kinds of dimensions for the PNGs and in the desc.txt files. What seems to matter most is that you do not exceed the resolution of your device in the desc.txt file and that the PNGs should strike a balance between dimensions and size.

Smaller sized images display faster but, if scaled, don't look as nice.

Your images should be sized based on the device orientation - portrait PNGs should be taller than wide, and landscape should be the reverse. The desc.txt has dimensions in it which should reflect this, as well.

Your zip file should be created with the "store" option - no compression, at all, or all you will get is a black screen.

Your desc.txt file should NOT contain "carriage returns".

Something many Windows users know, but forget, is the carriage return. The Android phones are Linux based and, as a result, are quite happy with line feeds all by themselves.

Open your desc.txt in Notepad (if you are in Windows)... Does it look like A or B?

A:

800 480 15

p 1 0 part0

p 50000 0 part1

B:

800 480 15p 1 0 part0p 50000 0 part1

If, in Notepad, your file looks like "A" your boot animation either will not work, or will not work correctly. I have experienced both - sometimes it was simplay black, others I would get the part0 but not part1.

So how did I fix it?

I downloaded Notepad++ (it is completely free). I then opened my desc.txt in Notepad++. In Notepad++ I clicked on View --> Show Symbol --> Show All Characters. Now you should see "CR" and "LF" in inverted colors at the ends of the lines.

Click on Search --> Replace, the "Replace" window will open. In "Find What:" put \r\n and in "Replace With:" put \n, then make sure Search Mode is "Extended". Click on "Replace all", save the file and try it out.

I hope all of this helps you get your animation running.
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Some thoughts in response to your post.

You are correct in that the PNGs can have virtually any dimension. In fact, you can use the desc.txt to scale the image to be larger than the total screen size if you wish. To avoid warping the image by stretching it too much in one dimension however, the PNG files should have their dimensions set to the screen's aspect ratio. For a Streak, this would mean the image needs to have an aspect ratio of 1.667, i.e. the width of the image needs to be 1.667 times greater than the height. The Streak's screen is a tiny bit larger than 16:10 widescreen, which has an aspect ratio of 1.6.

Just as in movies, the number of frames per second will determine just how fluid the animation will be. The more frames per second, the smaller each image should be if concerned with keeping the size of the final zip file down. There was a lot of trial and error involved in putting together the Stargate boot animation, and the final result works well. I found also that scaling the image and ensuring the aspect ratio was kept resulted in a boot animation that was far sharper than one that ignored the aspect ratio of its source material.

I do however find issue with your mention of desc.txt not containing carriage returns. The Stargate boot animation desc.txt looks identical to A and yet works perfectly. From my understanding of how the desc.txt file is seen by Android, it can easily handle Windows carriage returns, as long as all lines in the file have one. I used Notepad and not Notepad++ to create desc.txt, so I KNOW Android sees carriage returns.

So the simplest fix is make sure you have a blank line following the text in desc.txt. Thus:

800 480 15¶

p 1 0 part0¶

p 50000 0 part1¶

[blank line]

The pilcrows (paragraph marks) are Windows carriage returns.
