[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToadVine:
We (newbies like you and me) are in luck! There are some good tutorials over in the "G Tablet Android Development" section.

Here's a good starter:

Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esmeet7xda:
Thanks for the link to the instructions. Unfortunately, I've run into a problem...

I began with the instructions you referred to and get all the way up to the point where I had installed CWM and VEGAn-TAB Ginger Edition, and I realized in reading a related post that my version might have the 4349+ version with the locked bootloader. When I tried to run the ROM, it froze on the ViewSonic (three birds) screen.

I went to this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1036956) and followed the instructions to install the "downgrade" file. This seemed to work well, and I confirmed after starting this downgraded ROM in the GTab's Settings that I was running Tap n Tap 3588.

I then proceeded to reinstall CWM, re-partition the SD card, install the new ROM, clear the data, clear the cached partitions, and clear the Dalvik cache. When I try to reboot to run the newly-installed ROM, I get frozen on the ViewSonic (3 birds) screen again.

Has anyone had this same problem and found a way to fix it? Please help!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] esmeet7xda:
Ok...I went back and tried the NVFlash method described here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950) and then followed the tutorial described here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245) with success using the VEGAn-TAB Ginger Edition RC1 ROM.

When using the NVFlash instructions, there are a couple of things that gave me trouble with the instructions. First, when it tells you to extract the zipped files to a folder on your PC (named NVFlash in the tutorial), you need to extract to a second level with the nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip file so that all of the files - not just the folder - are in the main NVFlash folder you create on your desktop. (If you extract the zipped file to that folder, it simply puts an unzipped folder in there instead of putting the actual files in there.)

The second problem I had was in reading the instructions for putting the G-Tablet into APX mode. It tells you to start up the tablet by pressing the power and volume - button. Since I had been using the Volume + button all night for CWM, I read over the negative sign and had trouble getting the tablet into APX mode. You need to press the power button and the volume down button (the negative side) to enter APX mode.

Once I successfully performed the NVFlash method, I followed the other instructions carefully and am now a happy - and very impressed - owner of a G-Tablet with VEGAn-TAB Ginger Edition RC1!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda-novice:
congrats - super, isn't it ? thanks to its developers

Here's the video tutorial I used to nvflash in conjunction with the links (also shown in the tutorial) -

"G-Tablet Full Restore your Gtablet using nvflash - refresh to factory" by pensacolacomps on youtube - "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK2tgEBQRIU"
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K J Rad:
And that is exactly why I always use Volume Up and Volume Down when I write my instructions ;-) Congrats on getting it working.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galyons:
Sadly +1, But is was worth it!

Don't feel badly. I did pretty much the same thing. Although a noob to android tab's, I'm pretty good in other tech areas. My real weakness is reading and following instructions correctly the first time!

But, in reality, the read, flash, soft-brick, reread, recover, reread, re-flash...BIG GRINS process has been most illuminating. I really feel pretty comfortable with the processes and the pain points.

This site and the great dev's are truly a wondrous resource. My thanks to all who have contributed to the knowledge base!!

Cheers,

Geary

Since we have root and a solid Clockwork Mod, can we use the universal 2.3.3 rom that is found in Rom Manager on our Tmobile G2x phones?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
my updated,premium rom manager shows no universal 2.3.3 rom. where are you seeing this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
I wouldnt use any rom until something official is said the dev section because since the phone is so new it doesnt have the drivers in that rom just be patient. The development on this phone is moving quickly and I wouldnt doubt if we didnt have a working rom within the next week or two.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boldfacelies:
Found it by clicking on the Download roms button.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] boldfacelies:
Know what... I got excited when I was in the "extras" folder, clicked on Google apps and it had Universal apk for that. Mind blanked out and I thought I struck gold.

Sorry man.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Exactly...besides, my ROM Manager doesn't list any kind of 2.3.3 ROM let alone a universal one...I don't know if it would even be possible to have a 'universal' ROM :P
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baldwinguy77:
Ah lol I see...it's okay it happens!

[General Topics] Steve Punter:
Have you installed a custom ROM on the Captivate? If not, you'll probably love it even more. Most of the custom ROMs (though personally my experience is with FireFly) do wonders to the overall speed and utility of the Captivate.
[General Topics] ChaosCao12:
Oh yea trust me i already did. i'm using Inception v1.2 Rom and i love it. i normally overclock my phones but this one is stock 1ghz and i feel no need to overclock. it has lagfix already too i think. i love that since the captivate didn't come with a notification led, when i get messages my buttons led will light and stay lite til i check. maybe not a big thing but it is for me!!! plus miui music just adding the cherry on top.

The Thunderbolt is pretty good. I've got the CM7 pre-alpha ROM on it now and I really like the Android UI as opposed to the Sense. It feels like the phone my Droid 1 would have been if it had more of everything! I'm not in 4G, but it is supposed to be here in Albany by the end of the year.

Oh yeah, I remembered I had a Motorola StarTac on Verizon before the Razr.

Kyocera VX8300 - also sucked, from Verizon. Came without a single free game. Sending SMS was like fighting with a bear for both of them.

Nokia 3220 - Nice phone, cool lights when it rung or got sms. Good ease of use.

T-Mo Dash (Excaliber) - Liked the screen size, felt good in the hand. Good call quality, hardly ever dropped a call.

HTC HD2 - Rockin'est piece of hardware I have had yet. Yeah, it's WinMo 6.5 but... I'm hoping to eventually set up an Android dual boot.

[Nexus One General] gf_gollum:
I simply switched off location services and my battery life has gone up by ~50%.

I was really surprised that the location services took this much energy. I usually have Wifi off except when at home (if that's important) I haven't really missed the lack of location services - I just remember to re-enable it before running "Places" or similar
[Nexus One General] benjatt:
I'll try it, thanks.

I'm overseas on holiday and have had no data for 2 days (no wifi no mobile data). The battery hardly drained (%30). I was playing games and texting so I am now convinced that it is data and voice calls that drain battery.
[Nexus One General] j00m:
How you switched off location services ? :confused:
[Nexus One General] neozengar:
I want to know how you turn off that as well thanks!
[Nexus One General] robotnoize:
I'm guessing menu>settings>location and security> switch off wifi location and GPS location
[Nexus One General] gf_gollum:
Yes - that's all I've done.
[Nexus One General] j00m:
Yes, all options is turn off.

My battery:

1d 1h 56min on battery

and now battery level is 38%.

Is the result same with you?
[Nexus One General] gf_gollum:
I'm getting ~10% drop over 10 hours when the phone is idle overnight. Obviously battery usage increases with calls etc. to 26% over 10 hours with some light calls and 3G based app updates. (no Wifi)
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
Increase battery life 10000% by turning phone off and removing battery :cool:

Number picked at random, YMMV.
[Nexus One General] OferR:
I've tried this. Phone doesn't work :(
[Nexus One General] duykham:
I turn on "Use only 2G networks" (in Settings --> Wireless & networks --> Mobile networks) and the battery life is incredibly increased ^^.

In addition, I also turn off the "Data enabled", whenever I need to access the 3G networks, I just turn them on again.
[Nexus One General] Dirk:
I'll give you £20 for it :D

Seriously though, rather than trying to eke out every last milliamp of power from their batteries, i wish people would just buy a spare one and use that instead.

locked bootloader ftl. :(
[Vibrant General] movieaddict:
so true Jez..LOL
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
If it is locked but runs well out of the box, I could stand to wait until its cracked (if ever). My vibrant on the other hand, would've been immediately returned if not for the devs.

Think of it in terms of cars. If Chevy locked the engine and computer on a corvette so neither could be modified, but it still ran great, would that make it junk or deter a person from buying it? Modders would hate it, everyone else would love it. I just want a phone to run well.
[Vibrant General] helikido:
wouldnt u also want a phone to run better?
[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Of course I'd want it to run better, but haven't you ever heard the saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"? If it runs like a bat outta hell and doesn't have any major issues, I wont have a problem with a locked down bootloader.

Now if it runs like 2.1 vibrant and HTC didn't give the developers the ability to fix the issues, I'd return it and curse the HTC name.
[Vibrant General] jesziex:
I think some people might agree with you but not us on xda. We came here to mod and tweak our phones. So... a locked bootloader is gg for us. I'm pretty sure the bootloader would be crackable but it'll just take more time and is a PITA.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] onehomelist:
http://www.csync.org/ is a nice two-way file syncing tool. There is already a maemo version. If any one has the arm android tool chain, it can be compiled for optimus one.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhxkinMassacre:
I was gonna use this but I have a quick question. I know this wipes data/cache/dalvik but does it wipe the SD also (pictures, backups, downloads, etc) because I would like to use it to do the ussual wipe because I have been having some problems that I believe are due to cwm not wiping right but I don't want to lose all the data on my SD.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
NO wipe formats he SD card. The only way to format the SD card from the phone is to go to menu-settings-sd-format

Then why after using Calkulin's last night my video, music and apps folder are gone!:mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
If they were on the internal memory, they were wiped because they fall under the /data part of factory. If it was on the sd card, it shouldn't have been wiped.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goth_:
the reason ur having problems is because your using cwm, switch to Amon_RA and you won't have those wipe problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imakul8:
They were on the sd card..over 3GB of files. It didn't wipe anything else as I can see. I had folders named apps, musicfolders, video and vx..all gone..surprised it didn't erase my image files. I even searched and saw where people had concerns and everyone stated as you..that it does not touch sd card..:mad:

I heard that also..I kinda switch back and forth..Amon_RA doesn't seem to be able to flash CM7. BUT, I did use CWM to flash the wipe. Oh boy!:mad:
[Android Software Development] rycheme:
It would be so helpful for users and devs to have a universal app that gathers all relevant info about the user's setup so that our devs can provide support more easily to users having a problem.

My thought is that the app would be able to gather ROM version, radio version, list of running applications, spare parts settings, Android settings, etc. and de-identified information. The app would then be able to post the file easily to xda from the phone for support.

Can something like this be done?
