Can someone provide me with a stock ICS touchwiz launcher zip to replace the modified touchwiz launcher in Calk's FB27 beta 2? I tried to replace the modified one with the stock one and it didn't work. I'm not good with adb.

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
LOL, so no one knows how to do this?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] hooover:
Why not just flash the stock rooted ROM?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
Because Calk's rom includes modifications and tweaks, so that would not work for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Jaromewg:
install 7zip

open calks beta 2 in 7 zip

go to system/app

open stock fb27 rom in 7 zip

go to system/app

drag and drop "Stock" twlauncher30 in 7zip to calks 7zip and it will over write

flash yr new modded calks fb27 rom
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stargaterules:
Thanks dude. That totally worked. I can't believe I didn't think about that solution. Pretty simple. Now I got my 4x4 drawer. Yay

I've been tracking of all the downloads off of my viewsonic g tablet for dummies site. The number of people who have been downloading stuff really surprises me. It looks like this puppy isn't going away any time soon.
[G Tablet General] jhermit:
I still use mine daily. I still haven't found a compelling reason to upgrade.
[G Tablet General] tedlogan42:
Agreed. I bought a HTV EVO View off of one of the sales on 1saleaday (about $200) because the stylus it uses is significantly better than the regular capacitive stylus. It's my new 'work' tablet, but the Gtablet is still my daily game tablet, Netflix tablet, and other junk tablet. Plus, the ICS development keeps getting better and better...
[G Tablet General] Pawnty:
Other than the screens poor viewing angles, Viewsonic gave us a really nice piece of hardware. Thanks to Flashback and Team DRH this nice hardware can actually do what it's capable of, rather than the crappy TNT thing Viewsonic had on it.
[G Tablet General] airabus911:
With the exception that the tapntap software, the Gtablet is a beast waiting to get loose. Granted that its getting a little long in the tooth, but with the new roms it just gets better and better.
[G Tablet General] holesome:
I've continued to use my lightly since I've gotten it a year or so back. I mainly wanted it to play videos for the kids in the car. I played around with various ROMs, tried Honeycomb but generally wasn't all that impressed and just recently went back to Froyo. Froyo worked pretty well and the UI downgrade from Honeycomb wasn't that big of a deal. But recently I've installed DRH's ICS ROM and it looks pretty darn good, so far it seems the best of both Froyo and Honeycomb, but really better than both. However, that's just an initial impression. Really good stuff that looks to extend the life of the hardware!
[G Tablet General] hopbros:
mine was out of commission for about 6 months. power connector wasn't working. been really busy, but the wife strong armed me into fixing it. it is working now and it has been a really good tablet. it is my first and only tablet, but i have been satisfied and I really enjoy the versatility. it is a lot of fun to swap out OS and customize. even with the power connector problem, i enjoyed breaking it down and doing some hardware repair.
[G Tablet General] waxtadpole:
I use the For Dummies site a lot, it's a great resource for changing ROMs, bootloaders, etc. Haven't bricked once.

My GTab is docked and stashed in a cabinet, where it's connected to my TV by HDMI and a Logitech USB KB/touchpad combo. I use it mostly to watch live streaming sports video (Fox Soccer and ESPN). The setup works fairly well but Flash and the available browsers limit what I can do a bit. Overclocking has made a huge difference with no apparent side effects.

Right now I'm using Mountain Laurel w Clemsyn's kernel after trying a few other ROMs. Hoping ICS will give me everything I'm looking for with my setup.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Wow, take a look at the screenshot of my inbox. Everytime someone downloads from my viewsonic g tablet site, I get an email notification. I made it that way so I could get a feel of how many people still has the gtab. I get about 4 pages of notifications a day. I really thought the downloads would die down after a month or so. Nope, downloads are still going strong.
[G Tablet General] WeekendsR2Short:
She may have a couple of years on her (which is alot in the techno world) but is still a LONG way from being a dinosaur. A VERY capable tablet indeed.....which makes it very enjoyable to use, too. On top of the wonderful programmers that tirelessly work on ALL these android devices for their own fun, as well as recognition & knowledge, we were lucky enough to have someone take the time to develope a website like yours Goodintentions. I can only speak for myself but I DO know that is the very place that sparked my initial interest in android devices right from the getgo. And it is all put together in such a way that it was not intimidating or difficult to learn from. I, for one, am VERY grateful.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Ok, bad move on my part in using my box account to keep track of who's downloading. Haha, gtabbers have officially killed my bandwidth of 10gig a month.
[G Tablet General] techstorm:

[G Tablet General] virgillette:
We use ours for gaming and my little one takes it to the grandparent's house for YouTube videos. We use it weekly if not daily!
[G Tablet General] Linuxslate:
'Still use mine daily.

Corporate email, Calendar, some gaming, and probably the majority of my web surfing.

I may be hijacking this thread a bit, but frankly, there is nothing to replace it.

If my requirements are:

1 GHZ Dual core processor

Accelerated Video

(Above two necessitate Tegra 2 or better)

7 or 10 inch screen range

Full USB host port

Mini USB port

HDMI out

(3 above must be available without docking, but adapter cables OK)

WiFi

Bluetooth

...what else meets these, and is really of such quality difference that it is worth upgrading?

I'm not going to buy new hardware just to get a newer OS, so the ICS discussion is not part of this, for me.
[G Tablet General] qkster:
I still use my regularly.

I've been following the DRH ICS with some interest.

Clemsyn's Beastly Ultimate with some build changes w/ OC to 1.6mhz is what I use everyday. It's so fast and stable that's it hard justify any changes.
[G Tablet General] kzintz:
Just got mine today

I picked one up today cause wanted to try it on ics etc.. Really like it so far even though it's still on tapatap..but not for much longer.

Still reading and getting it straight about flashing this .. Flashed other devices lots but each one is a new experience.

Hopefully I get USB support ..that's a big plus for me. Only drawback is poor viewing angles but I can live with them ! So off to grab for dummies...

Thanks .....
[G Tablet General] _longy_:
I picked mine back up just this week's was going to sell it then saw TeamDRH ICS with working hardware acceleration. Running that now. While its pretty cool the ongoing incompatibility with games is still frustrating me.

If only these roms came with a pre configured build.prop to spoof a known compatible device I would be over the moon.

No reason to retire it just yet. especially at such a nice price point.
[G Tablet General] april5th:
A year on and I still use mine daily, have it docked in my car for GPS navigation (GMaps/Waze) and music/podcast player. (4G Tether and GPS from my android phone)

Once I found a stable enough rom I haven't tried out many of the newer ones.
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Yeah, I know what you mean. I use box to host my Samsung Stratosphere rooting files and I get an e-mail each day - and on top of that, I'll start seeing messages near the end of the month on the forums of people complaining about a broken link... didn't think the Stratosphere was that popular either... :-)

I have had the GTablet since the November it came out (can't believe I spent a whole $400 on it) and is probably the only one that didn't get returned to Staples from their whole inventory... but this tablet keeps going and going and even though its not my main tablet (Transformer replaced it), I still use it at work for testing app development so it will still be well loved for some time to come.

This is for Goodintentions,

Do not even dream of taking down your site. In fact, I'm glad to see you updated to include the ICS information. Those users like me who want to learn to master our tables are depending on your site for the "hand-holding" we need to get up to speed.

Thanks for being where we can find you, for speaking in simple language and for adding links to Youtube for those who are visual learners.

Ahead of its time

I bought my first gtab in Feb 2011 and the second one on the great WOOT sale. I have upgraded the roms many times and it continues to amaze me. The latest ICS rom from team drh is amazing. I have ICS while many tablet owners are using honeycomb or older. No thanks to Viewsonic I might add. The dummies site is much needed and we all appreciate that you keep it up.
[G Tablet General] traacker:
$99 Deal

I for one am sure happy the site is active. Having stumbled upon it I decided to buy my gtab last weekend.

Office Depot had one on clearance for $99 never been powered up, just static display model. 05/12/12

On my way to ICS having just finished the NVFlash thanks to the help on site.

Never rooted before and it was the $99 that caused me to give it a try. My wife and I can do that going out to dinner so I saw it as just another ticket for some education and entertainment. I am hooked. :D

Not saying there are more out there in other stores, but if I wanted one I think it wouldn't hurt to swing by your local Office Depot to see if it is a chain wide unadvertised clearance going down. Nothing to lose... and it sure is fun!

Thanks for all of your work.

Usage

Same here I am transitioned my tablet to business usage. That's another reason why I a don't want to flash a different ROM. If it crashes I am F'd when it comes to interviewing new candidates! As far as upgrading the thought has crossed my mind but its still fast, few delays and overall good for the price we paid!

[G Tablet General] waxtadpole:
Rolled my G-Tablet back to Froyo for the HDMI support. Since I bought a no-name tablet running ICS for less than $100 that handles streaming video better, I'm using the G-Tablet less and less. When the DRH team moved from ICS to JB without addressing the HDMI audio issue I sensed that, at least for my purposes, the end was near. Anyone interested in a G-Tab in very good condition with Skinomi case cover, screen film and dock?

Sales of member's devices or accessories can only be done through the marketplace here on XDA. You have the requisite year of membership, but do not have the other requirement of 50 posts. Your profile indicates that you are unlikely to spam the posts to get there, so perhaps craigslist or ebay would work?
[G Tablet General] waxtadpole:
Thanks for your suggestion and my apologies for the misplaced comment.
[G Tablet General] mikef:
No worries. :) Many people do not know about the marketplace and the vast majority of XDA members will never participate in it. The restrictions are to try to prevent scammers from signing up, getting a few posts in, pulling their scam and then leaving.

My client bought gTabs for a remote control app I wrote for him. It's been over a year since I used your excellent help/support site, but it was very helpful back then. I recently tried to revive it for a demo and it decided to lock up at the birds (I had switched to a mac for developing in the meantime, maybe related?).

It has a light sensor and its auto-brightness works very well.But the firmware does not provide its control option.

If you use a power widget style app (Extended Controls for example) you can choose auto brightness.

I notice my screen changing brightness depending on situation (and if I cover the sensor with my thumb).

You can changes the auto-brightness settings with different apps if you have root. I personally like the stock setting.

Hey I am with Rogers Wireless in Canada

I received a system update this morning to ICS 4.0.2.

Since that time the Android Market has been crashing every time I attempt to install an app.

Market version is 3.4.4

I have tried clearing the data and cache with no luck.

I was just curious if anyone else is experiencing this or if its just me?

If the issue continues I will just uninstall the latest update.

When I first rooted my phone, I had great battery life. But I wanted more and so I tried one of the many programs on the market to control my CPU to try and get more out of it. The exact opposite happened. My battery life is now worse than when it was stock. I uninstalled hoping that would undo the changes even wiped the phone and applied the Rom again. Nothing seems to work.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
There is a thread on calibrating your battery if you search. What I do is let battery fully die then fully charge your phone to 100% then let it go a few minutes past that like 15 minutes. Using root explorer go into folders: data - system and delete batterystat.bin file. Phone should then calibrate to what a full charge is when you unplug it. See if you get better results like I do. I also like to delete batterystat.bin before I let phone fully die. But my steps may be overkill.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CJ225:
Definitely calibrate the battery...I always do that after flashing a rom....give it a few days to soak in as well....also you could try undervolting your kernel.Search for a guide on how to do it...varies with different kernels...I recommend Killer Sloths scripts....worked well for me :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] glevitan:
first, there are many threads about this so, there was not necessary to open a new one. Anyway, if you are using a custom rom, those have usually been overclocked and undervolted in their scripts so theres no need for you to use any apps. In fact, using any app would eventually conflict with the rom itself. So, what I would suggest is that you read what your rom changelog states and see if your rom has tweaks for the battery.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Also, If youre flashing, you should have recovery which allows for battery stat wipe in the advanced menu. Follow reinaldos method and use recovery to wipe stats. Same result, slightly more (average)user friendly. IMHO
[HTC Inspire 4G] Tx Redneck:
This is all misinformation, period.

http://www.androidcentral.com/wiping-battery-stats-doesnt-improve-battery-life-says-google-engineer

To the OP, it's highly possible that your battery is failing. Either order a replacement like an Anker or call #at&greed and get an OEM replacement sent at no cost. When you pull your battery, if it's buldging on the large surface(s), it's failing.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyler79durdan:
Lets start off by saying that this situation is a back and forth banter.

I can also say that your post about misinformation, is misinformation, and supply a link to another website with a short write-up... watch

http://lifehacker.com/5786717/get-b...ted-android-phone-by-wiping-its-battery-stats

See its just that easy.

Negating anyone and calling them misinformed is selfish and egotistical, based on half of the story.

If this process works for so many of us (AND IT WORKS FOR ME), why disregard our opinions? IM my opinion this process works. I have used it every now and then, and my battery performs the same if not better than a factory, non-conditioned stock battery. Why are my battery and others who use this method, providing first hand testimony to its validity?

On your other note about failing batteries, thank you for that information. I didnt know about that, and I think this kind of input was necessary in this case.

IMO

Edit: All batteries lose their ability to charge and hold charge over time. Conditions like heat, moisture, etc. will all effect your battery, and all batteries will need replacement eventually.

I agree with you completely! There is no doubt after seeing his green recovery picture on the article page, I knew that it was an older article.
