Thanks for the great effort to create this awesome ROM!

I am running on ver 5 with 1.1 bootloader and have a few questions:

1. How can I change the CPU speed?

2. Is the CPU speed set at 1.5GHz by default?

3. Is the overclocking done to both cores or single core?

4. Any disadvantage(s) for installing this ROM?

Thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Android Development] clemsyn:
1. CPU speed is changed automatically. You can download CPU master to set limits to the speed.

2. Yes

3. Both cores

4. Because it is overclocked, it might shorten the life of the device.
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
clemsyn,

i install this ver.6 and mobo player sound extremely low, almost can't hear

i thought before mobo player has issue

but then i try Beasty's 2.2.1 ROM (Adam) + Clemsyn ver 11

this rom has detail sound setting which can adjust media, ring and alarm

sound independently.

using this rom, mobo player sound is reasonable high.

based on this finding, i think calkulin+clemsyn ver 6 has issue.

maybe original tap n tap rom already inherit this issue since calkulin

derive this rom from original viewsonic rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] ym901s:
Thank you very much for the explanation Clemsyn!

One more question: Do you recommend that I upgrade to 1.2 bootloader? Will there be more advantage(s)?

Thank you!
[G Tablet Android Development] Morutimeru:
Does this ROM have the framerate mod mentioned in this thread ?

I was using vegan 5.1.1 but I wanted to try this ROM because I'm reading that this ROM is fast.
[G Tablet Android Development] ASU-Fuze:
This ROM is by far the fastest and most stable one I have tried yet, thanks!

Does anyone know how to enable the network location feature so google maps can find your location based on wifi connection? In previous ROMs it was in the settings but I am unable to locate it now ...
[G Tablet Android Development] me_is_rushin:
So I searched, but nothing came up.

I have version 5 of this Rom and I can't tell if it supports MKV at all.

Any help?
[G Tablet Android Development] burkett375:
Can anyone mirror this to multiupload or megaupload? I really want to try this ROM, but Rapidshare can kiss my ass, it just sucks.

Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] alex6499:
I'm a bit confused on updating to 1.2 bootloader. Does it automatically update when you flash the rom or is there a tutorial you have to follow to do it?

edit: Messed around and bricked my device. Unbricked and then figured it out.

Is there a way I can switch to thumb keyboard because when i try to select it nothing happens?
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
you need to move apk from /data/app to /system/app and reboot

after that thumbKB should work
[G Tablet Android Development] dony71:
yes, Fp2sd shows about 70 while original about 50

disable picasa

ive installed the rom, works great.

The only thing is i dont want picasa gallery showing in my gallery. How do i disable that?
[G Tablet Android Development] DaveyBoy2002:
love this rom but whats the dif between version 5 and 6 besides the bootloader requirement?
[G Tablet Android Development] tman7510:
1.2 bootloader

What are the advantages if any to upgrading to the 1.2 bootloader??? I am still on the original bootloader and running clemsyn-caulkin's rom. I know I will have to upgrade to test for honeycomb...not sure why but just so I know how do I upgrade to 1.2 bootloader?
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
I realize I'm a little late to the party, but think this is the best mod out there at the moment. It's easy to install, highly stable, and is lightning fast. The Market worked great with the initial install so I didn't have to bother with the old, tried and true Market Fix.

I truly hope that Clemsyn enjoys the beer money I sent along as tribute to his good work and help to make the GTab a true contender in the tablet world.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
You really only need 1.2 bootlaoder to use the 1.2 based roms like Honeycomb. The advantage is that the Adam roms tend to work without much (if any) modification on the 1.2 BL, so when/if NI releases HoneyComb for Adam, you can get it on the 1.2 BL.

As far as I can tell, there is no (other) advantage to using 1.2 BL for a Froyo ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] transitoyspace:
does this rom support usb gps?
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
USB GPS through a phone? I think there is an app for that. It works fine with BlueGPS app for bluetooth gps units.
[G Tablet Android Development] lsu205:
Does flash and bluetooth work? Also can u go to this from one of roebeets 1.2 ROMs?
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
I installed Version 5 about a week ago and absolutely love it. Everything runs faster and the market seems to be full of apps. I wrote a note of thanks earlier and even contributed beer for Clemsyn!

Now I've got a question because who is ever satisfied with having everything work well? I want to add a Swype keyboard. I tried several versions of Swype, including the newest beta that supposedly works for all Android but it didn't for me. Similarly, I followed other posts here that required me to alter the top part of the build.prop file and change permissions on apk and lib files but those didn't work either. I tried installing Slide IT also with the same result.

So what were the results? The build.prop alteration approach was worst as it kept throwing force closes of the Swype apk. The beta install of Swype was best as it at least didn't cause any FCs; it just didn't work. The Flex T9 attempt also didn't cause FCs but didn't work.

The consistent problem, whether it was Swype, Slide IT or Flex T9, was that I was unable to check the box in the Languages and Keyboards menu setting to enable the swipeable keyboard. When I would try to check the box, I would get a warning that enabling the keyboard would give the application access to all kinds of things but when I would check "Yes" anyway it would do nothing. I did try to change the permissions on the apk files of these applications. (I don't suggest that I really know what I'm doing in that respect other than following the instructions of others.)

Does anyone know how to get a swipe type of keyboard working on this particular mod?
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
To use keyboards on this you need to either replace the TnT settings.apk with a standard one and then select the keyboard or move the keyboard's <keyboard app in question>.apk file form user/app to /system/app with a root capable file manager or on a pc with adb. This is standard on all TnT derivative ROMs.

To replace the TnT settings you can install the attached stock_settings.apk file. It will be reverted when you reboot, or reinstall the tnt_settings.apk file.
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
Thanks; you obviously are much more knowledgeable than I about this. I'll give it a try. Backing out if it doesn't work seems pretty straightforward.
[G Tablet Android Development] poymeister:
I am running clem-calk5 and I have the slideit keyboard. I used the "move the keyboard apk to /system/app" procedure and it worked. There are several threads on this topic including:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898851
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
This totally worked as you said it would and using the swipe method is so much easier for me on this large keyboard.

I owe you a debt of gratitude--or maybe beer!

I've spent hours on this problem and really had already read the post you linked in your reply but I never understood that simply moving the apk file to the /system/app folder was the key.

Thanks for taking time to respond and get me over this hurdle. I just got an early alert from Samsung that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be out later this month but I am seeing less and less reason to switch as I get my G Tab working the way I want.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Glad you got it working.

You should try out Thumb keyboard as well. I think it is even better than swype. There are several nice options even for non-thumb typers. My recent favorite is one-hand mode, it puts the keyboard to one side so you can hold the tablet with your left hand and type with your right.
[G Tablet Android Development] lsu205:
Is this a ROM or a kernal? Does bluetooth work with it? Does flash? Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Both.

Yes.

Yes.
[G Tablet Android Development] xyrcncp:
Did a location fix ever come up for this ROM? It's crazy fast but it can't get a location based off of wifi.
[G Tablet Android Development] alex6499:
This is definitely the most usable rom. Everything works. It is really fast too. I've been running 1.5 and then 1.6 for about a month and it works great.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
I am not sure of any Froyo ROM for gTab that has that working.

I have a question. OP says not to change the default launcher. So that means I can't make launcher pro my default launcher? Is it ok to download it but never make it default.
[G Tablet Android Development] joshftx:
Market not working

This is a great rom, but I can't get the market or google talk to work.

Market opens just fine, all apps are there, but I can't download anything- just sits there on STARTING TO DOWNLOAD.

Gtalk open OK, but says "could not connect to server. Will retry shortly".

I tried the market fix - any other ideas? please help. I want to be able to use this nice speedy rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
I suspect the problem is with installing the application, whether or not you actually use it, so would argue against downloading it at all. I have had zero problems with this Mod so wouldn't think you'd really need Launcher Pro anyway. I abandoned my version when I went to this ROM and haven't really missed it.
[G Tablet Android Development] MSU_Sparty:
I did install the market fix a couple of times before it worked as expected so I would not give up trying. Each of the steps is important, so just go slowly and I think you'll have the same experience as the thousands of others who are successfully using that fix. I suspect you could send a message to Clemsyn if you went through the steps carefully and still had the problem.

I haven't used Google Talk so cannot offer any advice.
[G Tablet Android Development] SHC33:
I agree the Rom is awesome. I like launcher pro because of the widgets. Also having more icons on the home screen. I agree its not needed just a perk. Definitely sticking with the Rom either way.

Hey either clemsyn or calkulin, can I get a confirmation that v6 is 1.2? People from my site are reporting brickary when flashing to v6 from 1.2. Ill test out from both 1.1 and 1.2 tonite when I get home.
[G Tablet Android Development] brettdwagner:

If you're on stock, then go to settings --> about tablet --> tap ui --> look at firmware.

Hi, I am installing this on stock 1.2 bootloader. Quick question - I don't have to follow up the install with a market fix and flash install, correct? It should all be within ver 6, correct?
[G Tablet Android Development] brettdwagner:
Flash comes pre-installed, but you might want to upgrade to 10.3 (Or 10.3 with hulu hack, it works beautifully on this rom)

I think you may have to do the standard market fix, but once that's done, you are good to go.

Does anyone know how to get version 6 without using rapidshare?

I can't figure how to download for free from that site?

I don't see the option for slow download, just rapid.

Am I just a dumb A--??
[G Tablet Android Development] kkrathi:
Click on the gray button "FREE DOWNLOAD". You will see a clock of 5 minutes start in the bar next to free download button. After 5 minutes, the button will turn to a different color and then you can just click it again and donwload. This is the small price you pay for the free download.
[G Tablet Android Development] kkrathi:
Thank you. I was able to download and install an app using the market app without applying the market fix. Does this mean I don't need the market fix or do I still need it simply because the error is eccentric in nature and can surface any time?
[G Tablet Android Development] deegan48:
So far best Rom I have tried, very stable, a little work to install, but worth it. Did I mention super fast... Thank you very Much.

If it helps, I couldn't get it to install the first time.(this is my 4th time, been trying others) So I tried it again and wiped dalvic and fixed permission before rebooting, and remember it takes a while the first time.
[G Tablet Android Development] roberto188:
CPU speed

Does this rom automatically over clock to 1.5 ghz and vary the speed based on demand or do I have to install CPU master or something like that to do it?

Also, what is different from version 5 to 6? Is it just one is compatible with the 1.1 and 1.2 bootloaders?
[G Tablet Android Development] ipeelscats:
I installed version 6 yesterday and everything was working fine at first. Today I am having issues with certain apps authenticating over wifi. I have tried different networks, reinstalling the apps, and fixing permissions. Has anyone else had this issue?

Installed your ROM 2 days ago. Installed without issue the first time.

Let me say I'm 65+, a newbie and was able to follow the instructions on:

http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/

Waiting for Ver:7

Thanks to all for making this a very enjoyable hobbie.:D
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
This usually happens if you don't properly format user data. The best thing to do is to go into the CWM mounts menu and format DATA, CACHE, SYSTEM, and BOOT. Then you can install the rom. This will wipe out all your installed apps and most of their save data (some apps put data on the internal SDCARD (aka tablet storage), which isn't touched).

You need CPU master or Set CPU to adjust things yourself. I think Clemsyn may have set it to be at 1.5 automatically with ver 5/6. Something like 1.5 between 80 and 100% battery, then maybe 1.2 between 60 and 80, and decreasing as the battery drains. SetCPU does allow you to override those settings with your own ruls if you so desire.

5 is the same as 6 except the BL.

Hven't seen it. What apps in particular?

Froyo development has pretty much gone stale until we see a truly upgraded base ROM from the manufacturer (Viewsonic/Malata/Flextronics, whoever actually builds the thing).
[G Tablet Android Development] ipeelscats:
I wiped and reinstalled again. Everything works much better.

I'm loving this rom so far. The apps I was having trouble with were Aim and Pinball HD.

This happens with any other keyboard except the system TapnTap and Android installs. Anyone know how to work around this?

Found this helpful post, but where do you install these? in /system/app or somewhere else? I can't locate the TnT_settings.apk on my device. Thanks.

EDIT: After reading this, I'm of the opinion that the "stock_settings" apk should replace the "Settings" apk in the /system/app/ directory. However, when trying this, i get stuck in the bootanimation. I noticed in the system/app directory there are several "settings" related files including "systemscatcher" and "systemsprovider". Am thinking you have to do more than place the "stock_Settings.apk" in the /system/app directory. Fixin to reload a nan backup to solve this. Any suggestions. All I'm trying to do is load a new keyboard other than the 2 stock keyboards. Thanks.

Do I always have to enter clockworkmod to mount storage and exchange files with PC?

Hi I am using this ROM. I have not yet figured out how to mount it as storage drive or whatever you need to do to see the tab as a drive in your PC once it is connected by the cable. The only way I know to do is by rebooting and entering the clockworkmod mode and then selecting usb storage. That is a bit painful. I would love to just be able to use my tab in the current ROM version and be able to connect or disconnect to PC and share files at will, without having to reboot.

Could anyone please tell me how to do this?
[G Tablet Android Development] poymeister:
- gtab powered on

- connect USB to PC

- a new alert appears -- "USB connected" -- click on it

- a new windows apppears - "Activate USB transfer" - select it

- in about 10 seconds, the gtab should be viewable on your PC as a removable (USB) drive

... this process is not unique to this ROM ...
[G Tablet Android Development] thejoos:
+1 I have this ROM and it works exactly like poymeister explained :)
[G Tablet Android Development] aabbondanza:
The only way to know for sure is to try it.

While it may work, it will probably slow your gTab down considerably. I just upgraded the version of VTL Launcher on mine. I used ADW Launcher in my upgrade process...so had 2 launchers installed at the same time & could switch between them but both launchers were slow. Take a look at this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1153813 to see what I did. If you decide to try it, you probably want to do a backup in CWM before you start the process just incase it doesn't work for you (then you can do a restore from CWM if it doesn't).

[G Tablet Android Development] TJEvans:
I've always used Launcherpro with any rom I used. When I flashed this, I did it overtop of Beasty, which was running Launcherpro. When it booted up, LP was already my default launcher. I never changed it, and also never experienced the "sleep of death" that is supposed to result in the switching of the launcher. I think that the key phrase in the warning is that it may cause problems. All that's supposed to happen is the sleep of death. It sleeps, and never wakes up, requiring a reboot to get it back running. If htis happens after setting LP as default, then reboot and live with VTL.
