Cyanogen Mod 7.0.3 is up (And has been since the 6th) I'm currently running it on my GTab, Once I figured out how to get the gapps installed and understood what it did, I'm never going back to any other rom.

Thanks for this page, it has been very helpful.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
I am totally new to both GTablet and also when it comes to ROM stuff!!

As I read through the thread more than 90% of users have a custom rom, vegan... etc.. No one seems to be using the default.

So my questions are

Should I root to get a different ROM?

If yes, Which should I get?

How? Post a link or sth

What are the advantages? Disadvantages?

Thanks in advance
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
Djapatos,

From the tone of your questions, it seems to me you are new enough at this that you

need to move slowly.

First, you need to go to Settings/About on your tablet and see what Stock Version you

are at. If you are less than Version 3588 -- then that should be your goal now.

But you may have to wait a short while because the VS update server is being

reported down and under repairs.

Meanwhile, I suggest you do a lot of reading on this site. You there are lots of STICKY

threads at the start of the various Forums which give you most of the info you need.

You also can see what people are saying about the various ROMs.

For someone as new as you, I suggest staying stock until you get confident and know

what you are doing. (And that doesn't mean minutes or hours as some folks think!)

The TNT Lite ROMS -- are a lot like stock, but add in updates, Market and other

niceties.

The VEGAn ROM -- has a very nice, mature look and offers a lot of the same updates,

etc.

I would stay away from the Experimental ROMS. They might take you too far too fast. And they are experimental......

Summary -- take your time and work your way up to what you want as you learn

how to do it.

Good Luck,

Rev

OK, so I am new to the epic 4g (it belongs to a friend, I have a cappy). I've flashed to stock, upgraded to E05, rooted with the latest one-click, and all that goes perfectly!

When I install bonsai 4.0.1 the installation goes flawless, but on bootup it keeps doing the FC vibrate and boot loops. I've tried 3 fresh installs but I am getting nowhere. I have also tried it doing the 3x wipes and without. I'm familiar with odin, so I know it's not something there. Any thoughts?
[Epic 4G General] mrjuboy:
Having the same issue. Sadly.

*One thing I'll note is to ensure you are using ClockWorkMod 3, not 2.5. Wanna make sure you have the correct file type (EXT4).

I have tried to install Bonsai 4.0.0 & 4.0.1 multiple times and have had the same boot loop issue.

I love the Bonsai (3.0) Rom, which worked just fine w/ EB13, but has not worked at all since upgrading to EC05. I want to keep EC05 as bluetooth actually works.

I always odin back to Stock DI18 and update to EC05, then root using CMW 3, wipe date/cache/dalvik 3X, then install Bonsai 4 (and 4.0.1 one another attempt). The install seems to be successful, but I end-up stuck in the boot loop. I tried to re-flash the ROM after netting the bootl oop, but it errors-out in CWM.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated. I am crazy frustrated as there must be something simple I am missing...?
[Epic 4G General] Top Nurse:
If you follow the instructions exactly you can't go wrong. Forget what you think you know. Bonsai is totally different than other roms out there...
[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
I was having problems after installing bonsai, force closes, no call sounds, ect. I copied all the files on the sd card to pc and formated th sd card. I only put the bonsai rom on the sd card and then flashed. Put files that I wanted back on card after and everything is great. If all else fails try it, I have seen it work on several different epics.

[Epic 4G General] danasmith2816:
Did you update to EC05 with the "over the air" update? If so, there has been a lot of issues with that.
[Epic 4G General] KennyG123:
Yes, best to go back to eb13 prerooted with CWM3 and then go to Bonsai.
[Epic 4G General] mrjuboy:
So am I reading that Bonsai 4 is incompatible w/ EC05?

I have gotten Bonsai up an running while on EB13, but no such luck since upgrading to EC05. I am not using the OTA update.

I have also heard that there may be issues w/ CWM 3 and EC05?

Any insights?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Bonsai 4.0.0+ is a EC05 ROM. It uses Framework and kernel source of EC05(heavily modded of course just like the other EC05 ROM's). But I too have been reading many reports from folks having issues flashing ROMs from stock EC05. Not sure if Sprint/Samsung has thrown some kind of roadblock in there or if it's something we are missing here, but it doesn't matter how you get there. If you are on EB13 when you flash Bonsai 4.0.1+ it will update the modem for you, so it's not necessary to be on EC05 when you flash the ROM.

As far as CWM goes, the Epic community is in need of an official version of CWM 3.
[Epic 4G General] mrjuboy:
I got it to work!

Odin'd back to stock, completed stock upgrade to EB13, then installed CMW 3 and flashed Bonsai 4.0.1.

I did have to reflash Bonsai once in CWM, but I am now up and running on Bonsai 4.0.1 on the EC05 Kernal and loving it!

Thank you very much for your assistance.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VDoubleUVR6:
So make a long story short I had to get my original tablet replaced with a another one so Woot sent me my replacement and I got it yesterday. I booted it up and connected it to my wireless and no update. I read the post where Roebeet stated on Woots site that possibly Viewsonic killed the 3588 deployment.

I got to thinking this morning and decided to call Viewsonic to see if this was true or if I have another bad tablet. She stated to the best of her knowledge the 3588 update should still be deploying to tablets that don't have it. She gave me a few things to try when I get home to the tablet and I did (one of them including a factory reset) and still no go but I did get the gtablet welcome screen which I never saw when I first booted it up. Now she said to call back later as she will inform herself if there were in fact something coming up to stop the 3588 update.

Well I called back and got a different rep. He was able to pull the support case by my phone number and he had me try a few more things including another reset and still no go on the update. He to said the 3588 update should be still running and he in fact told me he had two "wooters" call in today for some help and their tablets updated to 3588. So we checked a few more things and he suggested that I contact woot to get another replacement or I could start an RMA with Viewsonic which I don't want to do. He also suggested going to the xda forums and asking if anyone knew where the update information gets stored/cached and if it can get cleared to see if it'd update after clearing. Oh and the rep also hinted that the new update should be coming any day now but he didn't know exactly when.

The last rep said I could wait a few days and see if the update comes but I'm afraid that the update won't come out then. The rep himself said he wasn't sure himself and thats when he told me to contact Woot.

So I'm asking, has anyone else had an issue yesterday or today in getting the 3588 update?

Does anyone have any thing I try to get the update to run.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butchconner:
There is another thread reporting that the OTA update sytem is down and that VS is working on it.

I'd just be patient.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VDoubleUVR6:
Just found that thread...what throws me off is that the VS reps don't know that the updater is down when I called two different times.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robbbzilla:
I would not be too surprised. Viewsonic makes lcd screens mostly and I am sure they support a lot of different devices. So who knows what access to what information they have.

I would install a fresh rom from the forums, they make the tab so much better. IMHO.

Going on 3 days, now. :( They did tweet back to me yesterday that they were going to look into it, but obviously no resolution yet.

I had a similar question a while back when I wanted to know if there was a way to get a cradle that had speakers from the charging port and d was told that there was no way to get any audio or video out of the micro USB port. Only charging/syncing. If you find out different, that would be good news. But I wouldn't expect it.

When I boot the NS the screen shows a lock icon which shows it to be UNLOCKED.

I'm downloading a STOCK ROM which says I will loose root, which is okay. BUT, will the rom also lock it again so I don't get that lock icon?

If it won't can you please tell me or link to how I can get it to true STOCK.

Best buy told me I can return it but they said they won't accept it if it was rooted.

I got the MLB At Bat 2011 app working for non supported devices since so many devices aren't supported that clearly can run it.

YOU MUST HAVE A MLB.TV SUBSCRIPTION TO GET THE GAMES!!

You also need to buy the At Bat 2011 app.

I have a nook color, but should work for any device.

I changed the build.prop to contain the fallowing:

ro.product.model=SCH-I800

ro.product.brand=verizon

ro.product.name=SCH-I800

ro.product.device=SCH-I800

ro.product.board=SCH-I800

ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/SCH-I800/SCH-I800/SCH-I800:2.2/FROYO/EC02:user/release-keys

rebooted and worked. Should be able to chose any supported device and it will work. This is from the verizon galaxy tab.

I'm very much looking forward to trying this today.

Is there some sort of shortcut that could be made so we don't have to manually edit things every time?

I will be checking this out with today's free game of the day!

Now, I just need an easy way to switch the build.prop to watch the games.
[Android Apps and Games] jkabaseball:

[Android Apps and Games] lactardjosh:
Good to know about the fingerprint.

Streaming is working great on my Captivate. Connected on wifi, close to HD after about 30 seconds, but if the connection gets bogged down, the picture loses quality fast.

Nice to have it working, clunky as it is...
[Android Apps and Games] jkabaseball:

Congrats on getting this working, jkabaseball.

Are people getting the streaming working on CM7 Stable? I see that Nightly 37 was suggested before Stable came out. I'm on Stable now, and seeing the option, but only getting the white screen. I'm willing to try switching to 37, but it seems like there'd be no reason to do so, given that it's an older version. (Unless something was taken out before the stable release preventing this from working.)

Just wanted to follow up, and say a HUGE thanks for the info. I modified the build.prop file like you said, and now I can watch the Cardinals anywhere on my Samsung Mesmerize. Just a note it works great even though I am running Voodoo. The only thing that is different is my swype keyboard won't work anymore, says that it was not meant to be used for my device, oh well, I love Cardinals baseball more than swype so who cares!! Thanks again for the info!!
[Android Apps and Games] lactardjosh:
Other apps that require a specific build.prop might not work. I have a Captivate and the preinstalled Swype does not work while I an using the modified build.prop.

I duplicated my build.prop, renamed the duplicate build.prop.mlb and made the changes. Then when I want to watch baseball, I rename the real build.prop to build.prop.real and rename build.prop.mlb to build.prop and then reboot the phone. I switch it back when I'm done.

[Android Apps and Games] chinly43:
This might be too basic to ask, but - do you also have the paid app, rather than the free one? And is the sgs4g flash-capable? Those are also prereqs, in addition to the subscription.
[Android Apps and Games] jkabaseball:
The build.prop changes I posted is for the galaxy tab on Verizon. You should be able to use another device like droid2 build.prop and Skype should work as well. On my nook I thought the galaxy tab would be best.

Working on spoofing location. It mint be a little harder. MLB is pretty good at determining your location even through a VPN. I'm not sure if they are using gps location, which would be easy to spoof, or the network location where the stream is going to. I haven't got it to work on my pc yet, but will keep on working on android.

Location Spoofer

After researching the locale problem with MLB:At Bat for a bit, I finally found something that worked for me. On the market, the app "Location Spoofer", also a free app. When you open app, it asks you to select a place you want to be, then click Start Spoofing. There is also a smaller box that says "Spoof GPS" that you should check as well. I did this on my Cappy, and am currently watching my local team kicking butt at the moment.

Also, you can either enable mock locations, or you can place apk in /system (unverified by me) without having to enable mock locations.

You need to have a rooted phone. I use root explorer and navigate to the system folder then there is a build.prop file listed. Hit the rw button at the top and they click and hold the build.prop. The last option that pops up is edit in text editor. Replace the lines I have in my first post, save and reboot. You should now have option to watch.

You need flash as well for anyone that has various other devices.

I keep two build.props on my sdcard, "tmobbuild.prop" (which is my original) and "verizonbuild.prop" (the galaxy tab version), then use the terminal to switch between the two with the "cp" command.

1) mount -o remount,rw /system
2) cp /sdcard/[build.prop you want to apply] /system/build.prop

Then restart the phone.

Also don't forget you need the paid ($15) app for this to work as well.

[Android Apps and Games] neilix:
Really happy I found this thread as rather stupidly I paid for the subscription before checking the supported devices list, and unfortunately my Samsung Galaxy S2 isn't on there. :mad:

My concern with changing the build.prop however is that Swype may no longer for me ans so ideally I'd like to find some other way around the problem (I realise this is much easier said than done). That being said, I did see in another thread that someone managed to get the Netflix app to stop device checking and I was wondering whether anyone knew if something similar would be possible for At Bat?
