A few specific reasons that this rom rocks (other than the obvious):

1. Market works (great; only a few apps missing)

2. Google Earth KICKS ASS on this; full rotation, tilt, etc. Same for Maps.

3. Full BT stack... Duh... video games.

4. Locks on to location amazing for having no physical GPS.. (Use BT GPS provider if you really need real GPS).

5. Pershoot's kernel -> is regularly pulled into this.
[G Tablet General] myndwire:
It's all in the kernel, so yep ->

I have this exact same experience.

More Yellow than Green, but the black screen just says "A N D R O I D" and then appears as if it's rebooting: screen flashes to black again and "A N D R O I D" appears about 5 sec later. Just looping....
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Sounds longer than it should....

I know mine was a while in booting....much longer than normally and had me going "uh oh" for a second. The second boot was even longer.

Suggestion.....boot back in clockwork, factory reset and wipe davlik cache again....
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
That is a "boot loop" and is usually fixed by repartitioning the internal memory...

2048 and then 0 for swap. Of course that wipes out everything on your /sdcard (pictures, music, saves, backups, rom.zips, etc....) so you would be best to attach via USB to your computer, boot to clockwork and copy the files over to your PC first.

Repartition, copy the ROM files back over and reinstall.
[G Tablet General] Quie2TP:
I am getting the same thing. When I hold down the volume+ button and the power button, I don't get into the recovery menu. Just a black screen with android on it and then it boots into the rom. How can I fix this? I also don't get the white viewsonic screen.

Edit: I figured it out. For anyone else having this same problem:

When you hold the volume + while hitting the power button, you have to hold the volume + button longer now. Before you let go when the white viewsonic screen popped up and you would see the "recovery key detected" banner. Now, hold the volume + button a little longer and you will see that same banner pop up and then let go of the volume button and you will boot into recovery>
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
I tried that. In fact, I repartitioned my SD Card. I then installed everything over again from scratch step-by-step. I still can't get past the developer screen. I can't install cyanogenmod either. Apparently, all I can install is vegan tab 5.11 Beta. It is really frustrating.
[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
I'm not sure why there are so many problems as I didn't have any... other than screen grabs. Can't find an app that works with it.

I came from VEAGn 5.1.1, did a full wipe (in the advanced menu and the main menu), rebooted without issue.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Hmm...really strange.

I downloaded the files to my device (I use dropbox for a lot of stuff so at work, grabbed the files and saved them there, then pulled them down to my tablet by the dropbox app on it).

I then rebooted the device into clockworkmod recovery. I made a backup as I wasn't sure if I'd stick with CM7 or not. I then selected "factory reset", then moved to advanced and did the wipe davlik cache.

Next, install .zip from sdcard, choose the CM7 rom.zip, when it finished I chose install .zip from sdcard and picked the gapps.zip. When that finished I chose install .zip from sdcard and picked fstab.vold.zip (I wanted the internal memory to be /sdcard not /emmc) and once that was finished I selected the reboot now option.

When it booted.....ANDROID for a bit then the CM7 boot animation. That went a bit longer than I was expecting....and then I was presented the "Touch the Android to continue" screen. Touched the Android....I was at the devices homescreen. Turned on WiFi, opened the app drawer and launched Market, it asked me a few things and then installed what I selected from the Market (asking me to OK each choice).

[G Tablet General] mcmc08:
CWM gone?

I can't get into CWM recovery since installing CM7. I hold down + and power, then get "Detect a recovery key pressed", then it boots into CM7. Since I can't get into recovery, I can't install CWM. ROM Manager doesn't work either--does the same thing.

Is this a problem with file location? Do I need to edit something to tell CM7 where the .zip files are located?

Can I use a adb to re-install CWM, and if so, what would the command be?
[G Tablet General] sssp:
Is anyone else having problems with the browser?

It gets 3/4 of a way through opening a web page, then just closes. Doesn't matter what website it tries to open, and it always closes at the same point in the loading bar.
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
I really appreciate the help, but I think I found the answer. I ended up nvflashing and loading vegan-tab ginger (basically CM7) and all is well. According to what another member said I may have had a bad/corrupted partition. Either way, I am good to go. The only strange issue I have is that my tablet downloaded all of my phone apps from the market and it doesn't see what used to be on my tablet.

In any case. thank you very much for your help in getting this going. I am so stoked how far all of this has come.

Thanks again!

Is anyone else at least having the issue with the USB not mounting??? i can deal with the recovey not going into clockworkmod automatically as i can do it manually, but not being able to mount my PC through the USB is a HUGE deal breaker for me
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
Mine works. Then again, I am coming from a fresh nvflash and install.
[G Tablet General] Tostino:
Just wanted to let you all know, I sent an email to Android Central about the Nvidia drivers issue.

Lets see if anything comes of it.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
so i did a wipe and reinstall. i wiped the system and everything. upon re-installing the USB mount is now working but the reboot into recovery still just reboots the device and does not go into recovery (clockworkmod). same for ROM Manager. so i looked deeper and i think the issue is with the way CM7 names it's storage. in the stock gtab and in roms like vegan and TnT lite, the external storage card is called SDcard2 and the internal SDCard is split into Sdcard and i think sdcard1. in CM7 the external on my device is being labled EMMC and the internal is called SDcard. now titanium backup also sees things differently... in TB it says internal which on my device says 1.91GB (1.81 GB free), Internal EMMC (14.0GB (9.70GB free), and SD card 8.26GB (683MB free). now considering my external card is only 8gb total i'm really not sure what TB is actually seeing.

so to make a long story short... i think the problems all lie with the way CM7 names it's storage devices (internal and external) as compared to way the stock ROM for the Gtab and other ROM's (vegan & TnT lite) name the stroage.

so... do you think i am right (i am really a noob to android but been in IT for 12+ years)?? if i am right is there a way to fix it?? I really like the working location in CM7 (location did not work for me in Vegan) and other things that work, but the confusion between not being able to reboot into recovery (not a huge deal but annoying) and the confusion my TB is having is really hard to overlook. i don't want to go back to Vegan but may have to.

thanks
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
Honestly, bud... I would copy over your entire SDcard to your PC and go nuclear on your tablet.

nvflash, cwm install, reboot into recovery, partition sdcard 2048/0, mount/wipe data/system/cache, install CM7 and reboot. that is what I had to do to get Vegan-tab ginger running and that is CM7 based. It sounds like it sucks a lot (actually it does), but starting clean guarantees you are not chasing fixes for the next few weeks.

Also, if you have a droid phone, you may want to consider a separate gmail account for the tablet. As soon as I synced, it did not load my vegan-tab apps from 5.11 Beta, it loaded all of my phone apps. Not too much of a problem except the next time I go to change the ROM on my phone, it will pull all of my tablet apps over and that would be bad.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
i do not have another Droid based anything. this is my ONLY droid device
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
That is so sad for you...
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
so i did what you suggested and nvflashed back to stock and then repartioned, mounted and wiped, reinstalled CM7 and rebooted. it booted fine but now when i plug my tab into my pc i hear my PC acknowledge that i plugged in a USB device but my tablet will no longer give me the screen where i can mount the USB. so now i can't load files from my PC through the USB.

any ideas???

[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
With CM7 (and all CM based roms I think, even prior to 7?), it doesn't automatically put storage into USB mode.

You should see a notification on the tablet that USB is connected. If you select that notification it will give you the ability to turn on USB storage. THEN the sdcard will mount to the PC.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
i know what you are talking about and what is supposed to happen is NOT happenning. i plug in my tablet with the USB cord to my PC. i haear the "beep beep" that is my PC acknowledging i pluggeg in a USB device. Now normally i would go to my Gtab and slide down the notification and tap "turn on USB storage". well that part is not happenning. the only icon i get in my tab is confirming the USB debugging is on. i am not getting the part where i can tap "turn on USB storage"
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
I think what he is saying is that the screen/notification is not showing up for him to be able to mount the sdcard.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
exactly!!!! and that is after doing an nvflash back to stock
[G Tablet General] f2froit:
Hi, Im pretty noob, either way I would like to know if anyone could tell me which would be the main differences between running Vegan 5.1 and CM7 ?

Does the both of them support Tegra + dual core? Ive checked CM7 webpage, but its pretty scarce on screenshots and functionalities. Which would be the main advantages?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] TEK112:
It's one of those things where if you need to ask, you most likely won't benefit from an upgrade.

I would say off the bat that the biggest advantage of CM7 is Gingerbread. However, it comes at the cost of no hardware acceleration. So, if you like a lot of youtube and videos, this probably isn't for you.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
i ran both and i'm sure there is more differences out there but the one(s) that stands out to me are:

Wifi location does not work on Vegan but does work on CM7

Video playback/audio sync seems off on CM7 but played fine on Vegan 5.1
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
I REALLY like the fact that wifi location works on CM7 but i do watch alot of videos and am really thinking about going back to Vegan. I will miss wifi location cause it worked well despite not having GPS and it cut down on alot annoying messages for programs that can use it
[G Tablet General] elpaso420:
video playback does that include like online flash videos?(meaning streams from websites) or just videos/audio on sd card/storage.
[G Tablet General] mmenzie:
not sure... i was only playing my movies i downloaded, never tried online flash movies
[G Tablet General] lizardking7112:
Am I missing something, I loaded this ROM but there are no Market apps. Do I need to load it separately? If so where do I get it, found a gapps apk but it didn't work. Any suggestions.
[G Tablet General] Law Ninja:
For those still having issues loading Gingerbread ROMs, do the following:

Leave the partitioning at 2048/0 (I haven't had to change this, nor have I had to repartition it again to 2048/0)

NVFlash back to stock (instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950)

Flash ClockworkMod .8 (internal or external; doesn't matter)

Copy ROM files to internal SD

Format: boot, system, cache, data

Wipe Davlik cache (it does not say "Davlik" explicitly in ClockworkMod, so just wipe cache)

Mount: system, data

Install ROM and GApps (if applicable)

Mount: system (it unmounts after ROM installation)

Wipe: data/factory reset

Reboot

I was in the same boat as some of you; I could only install TNT Lite and VEGAn, but after doing these steps, installing Gingerbread ROMs worked magnificently.

After doing this a few times, you get the hang of it quickly and can have Gingerbread ROMs up and running in a matter of minutes.

Credit goes to bill1253 for developing the initial process.

[G Tablet General] Isira:
That's because Nvidia did not provide the drivers for Gingerbread, so videos which used to play perfectly fine on Froyo ROMs may not play well on Gingerbread ROMs.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
its the flashin back to an early stock that fixes the gingerbread issues, i got 3 troubled tablets from the woot lot working this way today.
[G Tablet General] Law Ninja:
Do you mean by using the NVFlash method or by flashing it back period? Because I tried flashing back to stock using the recovery key method and that did not work. I guess I was just doing it wrong the whole time, lol.
[G Tablet General] lllGurulll:
Is this going to be an improvement over TNT Lite or Vegan at all? I have had issues with both of those and want to find something else but don't want to flash just to flash either.

[G Tablet General] marcjw:
nVidia updates still possible

If I'm reading things correctly, it looks like there might be a little backtracking by nVidia. The thread on the nVidia dev boards about Harmony being dead-ended has now been modified.

http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/honeycomb-harmony

It now includes this:
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Did you connect to WiFi and run the Market ? After flashing the Rom and flashing the Gapps package, you boot.....turn on Wifi and run the Market app. It will ask you what "Google Apps" do you want installed (Gmail, Maps, StreetView, Talk, Voice, etc..) and you check them off and hit ok. It then downloads from the Market those apps.

The only thing you'll have related to Google Apps in your app drawer after flashing and booting the first time is Market. The others come later after you choose them.
[G Tablet General] elpaso420:
I am one of the wooters that flashed vegan 5.1/supplement out of the box. what I did was d/l cm7 directly from the cyanogen site, put it on my sd, booted into cwm .08, factory reset, wipe data, wipe davlik cache, flashed zip via sd, flashed gapps via sd, and booted into cm7 first try. and for those saying that they have had issues booting back into cwm, no issues for me. rom is running great, no issues so far.
[G Tablet General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
The issue is that on *some* tablets there are some incorrect partition setups. It doesn't seem to affect Froyo based Roms, but crashes on GB. Wiping data, clearing cache, etc will *NOT* fix this.

Using nvFlash to put the tab back to its intended stock state (with all the correct partitions/order) is the fastest, most reliable way to fix this. You should only have to do this once, and should be good for flashing ROMs from there out (unless something bad happens during a flash, etc.).
[G Tablet General] pr0cs:
That is more them deflecting the issue saying it's a 'manufacturer' problem.

How can the manufacturer fix the problem of no drivers when the company who makes the drivers have stopped making them.

Pretty bad.

Ok is there a way to change the emmc. back to the sdcard folder titanium backup is screwed.due to that
[G Tablet General] Fencesitter:
You can set the backup directory to /emmc/TitaniumBackup but for some reason, it still needs a card in the microSD slot before it it works.

I'm sure there's a way to symlink things so that it swaps sdcard and emmc, but you probably have to do stuff to assure you're ejecting the right thing.

Edit: according to the color nook guys, you can swap sdcard and emmc in the vold.fstab file in /etc. Note: you need to know how to mount /system rw in order to edit the file, but I can't give those instructions while typing on my gtab's painful on screen keyboard.

I did this swap but needed to reinstall the protected apps (angry birds) with the sdcard removed. I don't know what will happen when I reinstall the sdcard.

Alright so I have a question about the whole TSCalibration method on CM7.

The /system/bin/TSCalibration app looks for a calibration.ini file in /mnt/emmc. However I've already applied the void.fstab update to change my sdcard mapping to /mnt/sdcard.

Problem is when I run the calibrator (which I really need, things in portrait mode don't even respond) it's still looking for the .ini in /mnt/emmc, and complains about not finding it... and I can't make a file there since I don't have a device mounted at that location.

#firstworldproblems
[G Tablet General] rajeevvp:
You don't need a device to be mounted for that. Just mount / read-write and create an empty calibration.ini file in /mnt/emmc.

$ su
# /system/xbin/mount -w -o remount /
# > /mnt/emmc/calibration.ini
# TSCalibration
get devicetype!
get btmac!
open the file calibration.ini in emmc success!
open the file calibration in /sys/devices/platform/tegra_touch/calibration success !
# rm -f /mnt/emmc/calibration.ini
# /system/xbin/mount -r -o remount /
