[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Effdee:
ok so assuming it is named update.zip it should work

if not them the sdcard is not being mounted

it could be the partition layout/filesystem

it could be that the original bootloader does not support sdhc

what size is your sdcard?

do you know if it is sdhc (if it is greater than 4gb then it will be sdhc)

confirm you have a single partition formatted as fat32

ideally use a standard sd and not sdhc
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrifta:
he is right that could be one of the causes.. when i downloaded an update to get my g1 to 1.5 it was named "G1 update.zip" and it wouldnt flash on stock recovery beacause it had a "G1" in the name so make sure it only says update.zip, you shouldnt have to type the .zip yourself.. if you did than like he said it's really gonna be update.zip.zip lol there's many guides on xda and even on youtube that can help you out step by step.. personally when i was new at this having a video to watch always helped. hope this helps you!

Roebeet has made a very stable build on the 1.2firmware. Itwasnt hard at all to get there. I think if and when VS brings out new codes, it will only be 1.2 compatible. My thoughts only, not gospel:)

Anyway, this is how I was able to get this working the first time without any issues.

1) NVflash to base build

2) CWM to clear all data, cache. I used Calkulin's FORMAT ALL. boot to the os.

3) usb to the comp and slip in 3588 and recovery folder. rename 3588 to "update"

3) reboot with power and vol pressed. automatically installs 3588.

4) once insalled, boot to os.

5)usb to the comp and slip in 4349 and recovery folder. rename 3588 to "update"

6) reboot with power and vol pressed. automatically installs 4349.

7) once insalled, boot to os.

8) now find Roebeets Brilliant Ccolors ROM in another forum and repeat step 5 and 6 for this ROM. you shuold be good from there!
[G Tablet General] pitamakan:
While I definitely respect the dev's work, I think I'm going to stay away from 1.2-based ROMs until VS gets its firmware upgrade situation sorted out once and for all.
[G Tablet General] dannyboy22:
Did you mean ... rename 4349 to "update" in this step?

5)usb to the comp and slip in 4349 and recovery folder. rename 3588 to "update"
[G Tablet General] cd112:
I agree

The firmware is running real stable.. I installed it last night and i am loving it.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
ps - if you search for Brilliant Corners, it will be easier to find ;)
[G Tablet General] cbay:
Any points on what you like on it, better than TNT Lite 4.4 (or any 1.1 ROM ). Things you could not do/were not as good in the older ROMs.

thanks

[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
i installed it when it was released. heads up make sure to install the 1.0.1 supp so that you can have flash support back up and rollin.
[G Tablet General] notsob2002:
This rom is the only one that makes the tab seem like a tab and not a giant phone I've seen so far. Assume and market has no issues for me every other rom I couldn't get market to work.

Just my opinion!

I believe the new update that was pulled should have been more like this .

Would be better with a kernel but definitely a step in the right direction. :D

[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Keep in mind this is not a TnTLite-based mod, but it's based on VEGAn-Tab from GoJimi - it's a MOD to an existing ROM repackaged with a locked bootloader from Viewsonic. The theme applied looks cool!

EDIT: After a nice PM from roebeet, I am clarifying for those who don't know the following:

VEGAn-Tab, in it's original state, was a collaboration between GoJimi, rothnic and roebeet

as already stated in this post, this new Mod is based on VEGAn-Tab and will over time take on a different form, but it's base is VEGAn-Tab

there is no insinuation that roebeet lifted anything from GoJimi, only a correct statement that the base for this Mod came from VEGAn-Tab

There. That should hopefully clear up any misperception or misunderstanding as to what I was stating above. This mod looks great roebeet.
[G Tablet General] g0t0:
sorry. Yes rename to " update". Make sure you reinput another recovery folder. While the folder would still be there, the system deletes the command file so it doesn't loop back to installing the same file on a reboot.
[G Tablet General] g0t0:
hopefully when the new upload from VS turns up, it will correct the minor issues it has now. Very minor issues I should stress.
[G Tablet General] shadowhawk2020:
I must have missed it but did Robert stop posting here?
[G Tablet General] ptgptg:
yeah, unfortunately. Google "Roebeet and XDA" and you will find some tidbits. It seems a real shame, especially for a site like this, to lose someone who really turned out great work and genuinely cared for and responded to questions about his work.
[G Tablet General] kxs783kms:
Thanks for the heads up on this rom. Definitely have to check this out.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
hi cbay,

First of all this rom is based off the 1.2 (4349) bootloader. Also it has the feel of the Vegan-tab outlook. It is pretty responsive and the FC are almost to none. So far it has been stable and running like a champ.. I know roebeet has removed the phone apk to improve the battery life as well so that a big plus. Once i play with it more i will know more about this rom.

The HD videos are working really good as well as the tegra games.

Let us know how u make out.
[G Tablet General] gogorman:
So what's the benefit, if any, of installing this as opposed to VEGAn 5 with the supplement?

I am currently running 5 and it is VERY stable for me. Love it. It's my Daily Driver.

Any improvements on installing this? They look they same for the most part.
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
I have vegan 5 on one tablet and brilliant corners on my other tablet. I honestly can't really tell a big difference. BC may be slightly more stable. I still take the vegantab with me to work everyday but that is more because i have it setup perfectly than any particular problem with BC.

Both are very good.
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:
Your lost then :)
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:
I think hardware acceleration for vids work on BC but not vegan. Dun quote me, i haven had time to flash but ill do BC this weekend for sure. Nv tried vegan, always been on TNT Lite.
[G Tablet General] pitamakan:
Nah ... the current Vegan ROMS work great, without the uncertainty.
[G Tablet General] tcrews:
Nope. Hardware acceleration works on VEGAn 5.1.1 (Froyo) but not on Vegan-Ginger (or any other Gingerbread based ROM).

All the TNT-lite (and variations..ML, BC, etc..) and Viewsonic based ROMs are Froyo based.
[G Tablet General] Charles77:
What I noticed about BC:

Put in on yesterday and was pleased the most with was a better g-market, finally was able to see SNesoid which has eluded me on all other tnt ROMs. I purchased it but still having difficulty down loading it. I was able to download free apps so it might be a market glitch.

update : did TB market fix and it is now installed.
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
This is the first custom rom I've put on my gtab so I can't make comparisons except with stock 4349. I can say it's like having a whole different tablet. The responsiveness is amazing compared to stock.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:

[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
Ok so, not in like a gay way or anything like that but I miss Roebeet here at XDA.

Dude was always on top of his forums, best dev support EVER!

I don't know what's going on with his being exiled from here but maybe the booting mod should ask him to come back.

But I'm just saying.
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
This.

And the reason why I chose his rom over the rest.
[G Tablet General] irishrally:
And the reason why I signed up for Slatedroid.
[G Tablet General] cd112:
You know dude..you are right.. They should have him come back..
[G Tablet General] NotATreoFan:
Let me say that Roebeet was not/is not exhiled from XDA. After some honest mistakes were made in the moderating of his threads, he made the decision to migrate his files to another site. These mistakes were not targeted at him specifically, and they arose out of a misinterpretation of some of the newer XDA rules.
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
Tried to multiquote but it wouldn't work.

It's Roebeet's choice not to post here, guys. Not that I can blame him at all but I miss him here too. Always, always posting and helping.

This forum doesn't feel the same at all.

OTOH, he hasn't fallen off the face of the planet either ;)
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:
So im not wrong then :) Vid acceleration doesnt work on vegan ginger.
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:

problems

Hi, love it except

1) cannot seem to find a way to change the shortcuts on the tool bar at the bottom

2) have trouble downloading from market, sometimes the screenlock kicks in while downloading

3) under display timeout, the times don't seem to work

4) market is limited, clearing the data and cache didnt work

5) main headache is while installing, screenlocks and stops the install

6) titanium doesn't install

7) clockworkmod does not seem to install, after multiple tries

8) recovery menu limits what you can do

9) sites with flashvideo don't work like hulu

Other than that love the layout, just wish I could customize it the menus

New keyboard is great improvement

Great job roebeet!
[G Tablet General] jerdog:

Hey All,

Roebeet has just posted the latest version of his 1.2 based firmware on SD. The latest 1.1.0 of Brilliant Colors.
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:

I'm actually having issues with getting 10.2 (flash) to work myself. Probably just needs a data wipe but I have it the way I like it now and it's really a non issue for me. Most everyone else has their 10.2 working fine, I'm just being a lazybutt.

PC doesnt see Gtab after loading Brilliant Colors

HI......i updated from stock 4349 to Brilliant colors.....VERY nice rom...the only thing im having trouble with is now my pc isnt seeing my gtablet when connected with the USB cable to the Pc. Ive tried mounting and unmounting in the settings features of BC....am i missing something.? thanks for any help.
[G Tablet General] joeamateur:
It works fine for me. After you connected the USB cable, you will see the prompt "USB Connected" and there will be two icons, USB Connected and USB Debugging Connected, appears next to the Home icon at the top left corner screen. Swipe down the notification and touch "USB connected," and then touch "Turn on USB storage." Touch "OK," Windows will recognized GTab internal SD storage.
[G Tablet General] cipher54:
Thanks a lot

Thanks so much...Ill give that a try...Thanks again
[G Tablet General] joeamateur:
You're welcome!

The problem with Brilliant Corners and a few of other Vegan roms is that the Windows PC will not recognize the external Micro SD card from GTab.

When I need to copy files to the external Micro SD card, I have to take it out and connect it to PC using the multi-port all-in-one memory card adapter/drive.

Thank you

Thank you.

I heard about Pershoot and Clemsyn kernels work very well with 1.1 based roms such as Calkulin, VEGAn-TAB, etc. However, those kernels may not work with 1.2 based rom such as Viewsonic newest 4349 firmware and Roebeet's Brilliant Corners (BC) and Mountain Laurel (ML) roms.

I have not tried the kernel on Brilliant Corners rom. I worry that it may brick my GTab.
[G Tablet General] californiarailroader:
Is this compatible with the OEM Dock from Malata?
[G Tablet General] californiarailroader:
It is with my Vegan-Ginger with Pershoot's new Kernel.
[G Tablet General] jerdog:
The 1.2 bootloader is a locked bootloader only allowing stock kernels from Viewsonic. VEGAn-TAB is not a 1.1-based ROM. Those are Viewsonic-specific designations for their stock ROM and system.

You will not be able to use custom kernels on any ROM that chooses to use the locked bootloader from Viewsonic - and it IS a

choice

- it's not a requirement. It's kinda like buying a prize raising horse and then hobbling it and asking it to pull a wagon around town.....

So I guess that would be a caveat (and I am not the MOD for this ROM) - no custom kernels on this ROM due to the locked bootloader. But I in no way speak for the ROM Modder - only as an independent voice.
[G Tablet General] Mankey Magic:
Questions, because I like to drive people insane:

What version of android is 1.2 based off of?

I know someone already said that the differences between BC and vegan are little, can anyone give me a bit more detail? (Aesthetics, functionality, advantages, disadvantages, etc)

I'm running pershoot's at 1400 right now, if I flash this am I going to notice a significant decrease in performance?

Can I use VTL launcher with this?

Truthfully the reason I want to flash this is because I just heard about the Roebeet deal (I know I know) and I want to support him.
[G Tablet General] joeamateur:
Thank you for clarified that 1.1 or 1.2 is the bootloader version.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Both 1.1 and 1.2 are based of Froyo. As has been stated many times the only difference between 1.1 and 1.2 is a locked bootloader which makes it not possible to run a custom kernel. Also as has been stated many times his roms can be found at Slatedroid. There is no need for pm's and secrecy. Once again anyone can tell you were theses roms are they just cant direct link another forums website.

You will notice a decrease in performance as you will be running a stock kernel. No can tell if this will suit your personal tastes as they are yours. Flash it...if you like it, use it. If you don't then go back to your current setup.

All this drama over a rom porter is getting a little silly.

In case you missed it it........SLATEDROID
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
SLATEDROID

^^^^For the not colorblind^^^^
[G Tablet General] joeamateur:
1.2 is the new locked bootloader from Viewsonic. Android version is still 2.2 Froyo.

I have not yet installed VEGAn-Tab so I cannot tell the different between two roms.

VTL.Launcher works with BC rom. However, after I tried VTL, I came back with Launcher Pro instead of VTL. It is just my preference. Thumb Keyboard works well with Launcher Pro from BC rom.

I just want to repeat TheBadFrog post that you can get Roebeet's new roms at Slatedroid dot com.

Be warned that if your GTab is running with a 1.1 based rom and ClockWorkMod (CWM), you may have to use NVFlash to get back to 3588 standard recovery stock rom before installing 1.2 based roms.
[G Tablet General] Metal_in_Silk:
It is. I'm using the Malata dock atm.
[G Tablet General] brickchamp:
roebeets new Brillliant Corners has run perfect for me. I am tied into my home network just fine, and so far all my apps are working fine. Easy install if you just follow roebeet's directions. Also love the asus screen he has added in. My favorite rom to date, and I have tried them all.
[G Tablet General] rohitlepa:
Great ROM!

This is the first one I have installed on my stock GTAB and am really enjoying it!

I do have one feature that I used to love on the stock web browser and am not able to find on this ROM.

I had the user agent on it set to "tablet" and really liked it. On the browser of this ROM I only see mobile, iphone or desktop (after doing the about:debug thingi) for UAString options.

Long story short, is there a way to set the user agent of the stock web browser to "tablet"?

Thanks!

I have uninstalled Sound Set 1.0 but now cannot set default ringtone, etc., as it crashes.

Does anyone know how to make a flash-able package with Sound Set 1.0? Thanks!

I'm just curious, why did you uninstall it in the first place? It's not like it impacts performance or takes up a big chunk of memory.

I used LCD density to drop the dpi of my screen, which is great because it allows much better homescreen customization. However, some apps look funky with the resolution lowered.

I am currently running at 182. Ideally I would like to be a touch lower. ~170. Hower, if you go lower than 182, contacts will FC. Is there an updated contacts app that will allow it t run in a lower dpi?

The dialer app and onscreen keyboards become very small, are there any designed slightly larger for low dpi?

I will edit this post as I come across more things.

I am having a problem with the control button on my headphones. I have verified that the headphones are still working on my nexus s. I have tried using the headphone control app to no avail. Basically it registers about one out of thirty button presses. Can anyone else replicate these results? I need to figure out if I have a bad unit, or if this is an issue with everyone's phone. Thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Let me know if the headphones work on the new one. I might be exchanging too due to terrible battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
So today I was skiing and music kept pausing and as usual the button on my headphone wire was ineffective. When I pulled my phone out to restart playback voice dialer was always open. I froze voice dialer and then it would just pause. Basically I need someone with a g2x and headphones with a button to control playback to test it for me so I know if I have a defective device. If it's software I'll wait for gingerbread or cm7, if it's hardware I'll have to exchange. I'm using spotify, but it behaves the same in the stock player. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I also would like to know if anyone knows if the 3.5mm jack is configured differently than other phones (n1). I know different manufactures use different configurations, but I have no idea what is used in the g2x. I called lg and they just said it's a 3.5mm jack. No further information was available to them. Ugh. This is making me crazy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Krnla:

Can someone please tell me if they have this same issue? I hate to keep posting, but I need to know if I have a faulty unit. I can't find any info anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Here's a bizarre solution. Pick-up the HP Bluetooth Pendant. It allows you to use any wired headphones via Bluetooth. There's two components - a 3.5MM base station to plug in to devices that aren't Bluetooth capable and a clip-on receiver to plug in the wired headset. You only need the latter. It comes with a pair of wired headphones but they're crap. If you're using them for skiing or outdoor activities it's kind of a clean solution so that you're not physically connected to the phone. The volume, stop/play, and forward/reverse on the receiver work on the G2X, I checked. Here's a link to a store that still has them (they're discontinued). You might find them on eBay too.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Thanks for the suggestion. The problem I have with a bluetooth solution is the fact that it's something else I have to charge. Additionally, I had a pretty bad experience with the motorola bluetooth headphones. The reception was terrible. The phone had to be about six inches away from the headphones for it to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bguzmanz2:
I have the same issue, I bought some dr dre beats and the remote control wasn't picking up the button presses. When I unlock the device it picks up the button presses better. I thought I had a faulty headset so I got a different pair but same thing happens. Hopefully some gingerbread love will fix this.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
I totally get the having to charge another device thing. I use it with my Shure 530's and the reception's great from up to ten feet away. It's just a receiver so the quality of the headset will determine sound reproduction.

Well, other people having the problem gives me hope that it's software. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bguzmanz2:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I have a pair of Sonys that have Play/Pause, Skip and Previous.

I could Play/Pause easily but nothing else worked. I sold my Nexus One before I could try them on the G2x (those worked flawlessly on the N1 vs the Sonys).

While I don't have a big need for headphones, I would like to figure out what works or perhaps getting software to recognize the correct signals from the jack.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I think that I'll need to find a pair if headphones with a compatible pinout, or some kind of adapter. I have been looking for both with no success. Why can't they standardize these things?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Just got off the phone with lg again and they are saying that the only compatible headset is the one they sell through their accessory department. This is frustrating as hell.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
nice. An adapter would be a good fix. What do the ones they sell look like and if they were a special type, why weren't they included with the damn phone to begin with?

stupid idiots
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
I don't know yet. Their accessory department is closed on the weekend. I'm going to dig around later. I would like an adapter that is just a double sided plug, vs one with a cable.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
Does anyone think it would be possible to cut the cord on my current headphones and rewire the plug so it would work with this phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsauce75:
After further research I learned that it is not the jack that is the issue. It is the board inside the mic assembly that interfaces with the device. Therefore it's either find a pair that work (trial and error). Or get some ugly, expensive, bad sounding, stereo bluetooth headphones. Again, they really need to standardize headphones.
