CWM nandroid backup not working

I think I am posting this in the right place as I am running RC1 and this problem didn't crop up until started running RC1.

I can't complete a backup in CWM (0.8). It backs up boot and recovery, but then it says "Backing up system" and... nothing. It is not backing up system, or so it seems, I've been waiting for over 30 minutes.

Any ideas? Should I post this somewhere else? Just trying to get a good backup in anticipation of either RC2 or Final Vegan 7.0.0.

Thanks for any ideas.

I did the same thing nvflash doesn't totally erase your boot partition when it's installed. I tried to install this rom over tnt lite after it started fc after fc after fc @ startup, then did the same thing you did but got clockwork to reinstall from SD. so if you had a rom that's doing weird stuff installed, I think some of the tnt variants have unbuffered images too and clock work needs to be installed in the buffer in order to work right. In my experience to make things easier you have to format and repartion the entire internal drive.

Is /sdcard full?
[G Tablet Android Development] xmr405o:
I experienced the same thing but mine got stuck at backing up cache. I let it sit for a 30 minutes too until finally deciding to turn the gtab off. Apparently, it went through ok because I restored just fine. So far no issues or loss data.
[G Tablet Android Development] huntar:
Thanks for the replies!

No, plenty of space on /sdcard (>8gig), I checked that... it definitely stops working... I only have three files in the folder - boot.img, recovery.img, and system.img - no md5 checksum file or any of the others...data.img, cache.img, etc.

I have rebooted cleanly a couple of times... not sure where to look next - clear cache maybe or something similar?

Any other ideas?

Side Loading

Doesn't seem like it will let me side load stuff unless it's from the market.. anyone else seeing this or is it just a preference somewhere I'm missing. Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] explosivo2k2:
I have had happen to me me too. Both on RC1 and the previous release. Any tips to prevent this would be helpful.

Other than that, great ROM!
[G Tablet Android Development] ssmr2t:
Thank you!! That was it!!

Thanks a lot, dude! That worked and now I can install apps.

I had a question for you guys...

I always notice that people say "wiping cache"... in the main menu- the only option I know of that is even remotely close to that is "wipe cache partition" ... am I supposed to be doing that?

Yesterday I just wiped user data, wiped dalvik and then fixed permissions..

Is there something else I should be clearing?

Thank you!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Yup, wipe cache partition.

Widget Worries

I installed secveral widgets (Weatherbug, Jorte, Wifi) and when I booted today, all the widgets had "problem loading widget" showing. I deleted them all, reinstalled and they appear to work fine. As I was dumping one of them though a cryptic message appeared that said "sorry widgets not supported :) " Does this rom support widgets?? Seems kind of odd to me that it wouldn't. These widgets are all from different vendors and I have used them on several other roms.
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Widgets work fine. Make sure that they aren't moved to the SD card, by going to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>On SD Card. If they are, they won't show on first boot. I had that problem when I had my computer cord connected to the tablet when I booted. Once I disconnected and rebooted, it worked fine.
[G Tablet Android Development] debh945:
It supports widgets but the docking bars don't. It's possible you were trying to drag the widget to the trash but the launcher thought you were trying to place it on the dock.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhcomputerguy:
I guess no one knows.. Does ANYONE know the fix for the gsensor in games?? It is fixed in 5.1 so just seeing if that same fix can be applied here?
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:
Interesting problem. Just to see if I could do it (I was thinking of doing some testing) I rolled back my CWM backup of 5.1.1 which went OK. Then I restored my fresh backup of VEGAn Ginger RC1. Went ok but.... it came up and asked me if I wanted to use Launcher or Launcher Pro! No option for the new launcher (and yes, the Launcher option was the old option).

So I went and grabbed the 1.5 APK and now its back other than the menu isn't integrated with settings like it was. I restored my setup from backups and got everything back except the widgets.

Hard to understand what rolling back CWM backups would do to lose the new launcher....
[G Tablet Android Development] G_Dmaxx:
I went and got the fix (5.1 zip) from gojimis site, flashed it and it wouldnt boot up...just hung on the gtab devs screen. So no go that one.....:mad:
[G Tablet Android Development] ticks:
I am stuck.. please help.

I just got my viewSonic g-tablet today and decided to try the VEGAn-TAB RC1 ROM.

I followed the step by step instruction here:

androidtablets.net/forum/viewsonic-gtablet-technical/10885-howto-install-clockworkmod-custom-rom-flash-player-market-fix.html

Here is a summary of what I have done:

1. Installed CWM 0.8

2. Copied VEGn-TAB ROM zip file to internal SD

3. Mounted both data and system

4. Flashed the Stock ROM that came with the g-tablet with VEGn-TAB ROM

5. Did a wipe data/factory reset

6. Re-boot

After I re-boot, my g-tablet freezed. I wouldn't go any further than displaying the viewsonic logo.

Can anyone see what I have done wrong? How can I fix this?

thanks so much!
[G Tablet Android Development] wnbowman:
ticks,

By no means am I an expert, but the several ROMs I have flashed, I have not mounted data and system partitions from CWM. In addition, I always wipe cache, and occasionally clear the Dalvik cache.

Drop step #3, and then clear the two caches before you flash the ROM of your choice.
[G Tablet Android Development] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
You followed the directions well (mounting Data & system not necessary, but shouldn't hurt).

Some tablets were shipped with incorrect partitions. It doesn't seem to bother stock or Froyo Roms, but hangs Gingerbread Roms. You will need to NVFlash your tablet to a 'true' stock state.

Start here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950

Once you are flashed, you should be able to redo the steps and it work fine. Shouldn't have a problem with it from here out either.

Anything I can do about the USB speeds... I'm getting at best 1.07MB/s. Thanks, I just got the gtab last night and first thing was installing this...
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
My slooooow booting (5-7 minutes) issue doesnt happen anymore. I did two things to fix it:

First wiped and reimaged following the instructions from the OP. Specifically reboot promptly after the setup wizard ot complete install.

Second, I didn't restore any apps with Titanium Backup, only data. My TB database was from a variety of ROM's, so no doubt something was getting messed up. Took a while to get all my apps installed, but now that it is done I am happy. 45-60 sec boot times are the norm now (with an 8gb SDHC card installed).
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:

Best ROM on XDA. But we need camera support!!! Please make it!
[G Tablet Android Development] sweethip:
thanks.. applying these kernels? Is it the same as doing it like my EVO? Do it from cwm and load from zip file?

I see they released a under volt one as well.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Yes. CWM, install update from zip. I clear the cache before installing. Also, always remember to backup first. You shouldn't have problem, but just in case.

I did this same procedure last night and now boot up in about 50 seconds. Had been running Ginger Edition since the weekend and boot time was over 4 minutes. Bout dropped my dentures when it came up after 50 seconds last night.

ok thanks.. I have to relook in cwm i don't remember seeing a Nandroid option !!

Nandroid is no longer in clockworkmod, at least by name.

There is a backup/restore option on the main page.
[G Tablet Android Development] gotwillk:
this rom is awesome so far. had a lot of force close issues but that was fixed with an sdcard partition.

only issues now are 1) the camera and 2) the fact that most video players can't play my videos anymore, whereas the vegan froyo version didn't have this problem.
[G Tablet Android Development] craigwillie:
It looks like the discussion and original download .zip for the mouse cursor is actually in this thread:

If someone could try this out and report back that would be great. I would but my Gtab is far-far away at the moment :(
[G Tablet Android Development] djh36:
I get this reallly really annoying issue happening to me whenever I try to mount USB storage from my tablet to my computer:

Sometimes when I try to mount, the tablet freezes up and then has to be rebooted

okay that's not the really annoying part...

After it reboots, I notice that the integrated VTL Launcher is completely gone. It goes back to the blank, default launcher and when I look for the VTL Launcher in 'Applications' it's not there. On top of that, the settings for the VTL Launcher are also gone when you go to the Menu Settings.

Now another weird thing is that if I try to re-install the VTL Launcher through the .apk, it asks if I want to replace the existing application. That's so strange for me because when I look for it in applications, it's nowhere to be found but when I try to re-install it, it says it's there.

Anybody else experiencing a similar issue? Or does anybody know a fix for this?

Anyone else getting extreme slow write speed to sdcard1 over USB? Im getting like 700kb max? I used get over mb with TNT.. Whats going on? bug?
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:
I thought I'd be adventuresome. I uninstalled all apps and then went and manually installed a bunch of them and let Ti Backup restore the data of the ones I cared about. Didn't work. So I will try the full method.

I did learn a few things:

1) Opera Mobile does not like having its data restored.

2) Not everything you downloaded shows up on the web market????

3) Amazon App Store stuff doesn't like running after being restored from data and complains.

So I'm going to go figure out what I need to backup and reimage. Maybe tomorrow. Sigh.
[G Tablet Android Development] 4x4r8d:
Summer player played all my videos. Look for it in the Market..
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
That is because of the lack of hardware acceleration. Download "rockplayer" lite from the market.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
It is best to start from scratch with this ROM. You have to remember that you came from 2.2 and that is very different from 2.3. In fact, you'll notice that the market has no idea what you downloaded in 2.2 because of the unique identifier for your device is different. From my experience, if you have another droid device that already has 2.3 installed, your tablet will have pulled all of those apps automatically from the market. For some reason, Google is unable to distinguish the two devices and considers them as one.

As for restoring app data, it could be tricky because this ROM lacks hardware acceleration which is a necessity of other apps. therefore, if an app has already been set up in the config script to support hardware acceleration and you restore the data that says it is available it may not run as opposed to running choppy if you just downloaded it and ran it straight up.. Plus, because these are two different versions of android OS the app itself may have a problem running based on data that was built upon the 2.2 architecture.

My solution was to actually create a new e-mail address from Gmail just for this ROM. It sucks, though my rationale for it was that I did not want it to merge my phone and my tablet together. The reason being that if I decide to get a new phone and then I load a new ROM on it and auto restore from the market it will not only restore the phone apps but all of my G tab apps as well. Not only would that probably exceed the size of my new phone, but if I try to reverse the effects it would only tell my tablet that I had removed all the items that I downloaded from the market in case I had to restore my G tablet down the line. Just one problem after another, so if you have more than one droid device running gingerbread, I would highly recommend a different e-mail account.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I would say that something did not go right during the ROM flashing process. I would suggest that you reflash the ROM and nuke the tablet. An nvflash may not be necessary at this time, but if the problems persist after reinstalling a new ROM following all of the directions to a "T" that may be your only option.
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:
Well keep in mind I did do a clean install and other than long boot time it is fine. It was the reinstall that was a problem. Also the market does know what's installed at least with the right restore technique. Very few apps actually know the difference between the version or the acceleration with only a few notable exceptions.

But like I say, it is actually fine except for the boot time..
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Not sure about the first issue. Are you using the stock kernel? You may want to try a full wipe, and reflash of the ROM.

Is VTL installed as an app on the SD card? Check in Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>SD Card. If it is, move it back to the phone. If not, go to All, and make sure that you see it. I'm pretty sure you will. Now scroll down to whatever the default launcher is, and click it. Click on Clear Defaults (if it's enabled), and this should rectify the problem. Do yourself a favor though, when you get to the All menu, high the menu key, then Sort by Size. Now hit the menu key again, and select Sort by A-Z. Now you should find it much easier to scroll all the way to the bottom to find VTL. Let me know if that sorts it for you. If not, definitely need a full restore.

What does "go nuclear with an nvflash" mean?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
Meaning that doing an nvflash will essentially destroy all of the data on the tablet and completely restore it to stock settings. Basically, out-of-the-box condition. that is why I call it the nuclear option.

Apparently there is a problem with corrupted partitions. The only solution so far, is to do an nvflash.
[G Tablet Android Development] dictionary:
Flash a different kernel. If none of Clemsyns work for you, use Pershoots. It'll work fine.

can't find summer player in the market and rockplayer doesn't work properly for me either.

i usually just use mvideo player because i like the interface and when i was on froyo, it just worked. i use rockplayer and vitalplayer for the ones that mvideo can't play. but now on this gingerbread version, videos don't play on anything except rockplayer or vitalplayer. and even then, they still have issues, sometimes with sound not working or the video is really choppy. these aren't converted videos either, i just dump them in. they aren't HD 720p files or anything but they are wmv, avi, and mpg files.

i had no problems playing these formats using pretty much any video player on vegan froyo.

I tried flashing the zip from this post and it kept the G-tab from booting, luckily I made a clockwork backup first!

I like some of how the mouse works in this ROM (scrolling without left-click is nice) but I really need the X pointer and it seems to no allow the mouse to work in some menus, so you have to tap the screen in those cases. I could live with that if I had a pointer! ;-)

Overall, I love this ROM though...great work!
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
We understand. That is why i made the comment regarding no hardware acceleration support in Gingerbread. The videos may not play and will play choppy if they are high resolution. Just the nature of the beast until nvidia releases code for h/w acceleration in gingerbread.
[G Tablet Android Development] pgonza02:
Have you tried MoboPlayer? I got it from the market together with rockplayer and haven't had any files it can't play.

anyone else having issues installing apps from the market on this rom? nothing will go past "starting download" i've tried power off and back on again, i tried force stopping some of the google services like the old way to fix the market, its nice the market loads but it wont start any downloads, any ideas? tried searching but for some reason IE has issues with this site and it takes like 30 mins to start a search only on this site, very weird.

Thanks in advance, love the rom other than the market issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] wd5gnr:
Still no joy. I did an nvflash back to stock and then reinstalled. The setup wizard reinstalled most of my apps. But reboots are still taking 6 or 7 minutes.
[G Tablet Android Development] rkmFL:
I'd like to formally request that you replace Pershoot's with Clemsyn's latest (v10) either the standard v10 or the Undervolt, for the stock ROM.

Celmsyn is the only kernel that has bluetooth properly working on the gTablet (for more than a few megs of transfer) and is more stable overall.

We run 8 tablet for our office, and we've been split-testing Pershoot against Clemsyn, with much better results on Clemsyn (absolutely no disrespect to Pershoot, who got it all started and we would be a lot further behind without him / all of his work).

Sure I can replace them myself, and already have done that. I only recommend this to help others avoid issues like the BT.

First Flash to Vegan-GE

I have a stock G-tablet and want to flash a new rom for the first time. I have rooted/flashed CM on my phone, but have some questions before I do it. I did the OTA update when i first started my tablet. It is 3588 Edition now. Believe it or not i have read through all 72 pages of this thread and came up with these questions from reading:

Do i need to nuke it before i try to install CW.8 and flash Vegan-GE? Or should i install CW .8 and Clear cache, wipe data and install the rom?

Do i need to do the CW partition?

Can I do a CW backup of the stock rom so i can just flash back to that point?

Would you suggest going to GE or tab-5.1.1? I have read through all 72 pages on the dev. section and it seems like most of the problems are minor and hopefully can be resolved in time (mainly video issues)

Would you suggest flashing the pershoots OC kernel or just using the default GE kernal? There weren't too many posts about the OC kernel just a few saying that the tablet benchmarked incredibly high.

Thank you guys for the help/advice
[G Tablet Android Development] pgonza02:
Same thing happened to me this morning

The fix is the same as the market fix

Go to the manage applications and select market

Clear the cache first on the market app

Clear user data same screen

Select the google services framework and clear user data too

Reboot

Go to market and accept

Good luck
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
3588 is fine, 4349 and up have issues. Just load CWM and the ROM of your choice, plus pershoot's 1.4GHz kernel is damn sweet!

If you like 3D games (tegra2 games) high res video and the youtube app, go with 5.11 Beta w/supplement. I personally, found no advantage (other than security) to running gingerbread over froyo until the hardware acceleration is fixed.

Yes, you want to partition your SDcard 2048/0 regardless, because it will allow for easy updates in the future if you decide at a later time to go to gingerbread.

I am very pleased you took the time to read. Your questions were well thought out.
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I run my moto rokr S7-HD without a problem. Before suggesting an entire ROM change, have you tried a different headset?
[G Tablet Android Development] diablokicks:
Thank you for the response. I think i read that the library for hardware acceleration is out but it will take some time to clean up. Is that true?

And to partitioning the card is done through CW correct?
[G Tablet Android Development] TEK112:
I didn't think it was out, but I don't follow news from the source (nvidia) a lot of them tell half truths. I wait to it hits the forums.

As for partitioning, yes. CWM down at the bottom choose advanced. Then you will see the partitioning option.
