[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
Allot of stuff that cannot be explain can be caused by stuff from previous build being left on the internal storage. Typically what I do when changing the bootloader is making sure everything on the internal storage is backed up then wiped clean. After NVflash is complete force the tablet to boot into recovery by keeping the Volume + pressed down while it reboots or holding down the power button during the reboot after NVflash and powering down the device. Then while holding down the volume + pressing the power button to boot into recovery. Wipe date Factory reset, Wipe Cache and Wipe Dalvic Cache. Go into Mounts and Mount Data then Format also Mount System then Format. Then in Advance format Internal SD (Make sure that your external SD card has been ejected) 2048/0. This will ensure that there is nothing on the internal storage and you are starting a clean slate. Last thing is to go into mounts and Mount USB connect Tablet to computer and transfer over the ROM of choice. After tranfer is done safe removal of device through computer and unmount in CWM. Install new ROM.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PapsinManila:
I really hate to be "that" guy, but I've searched the forum, and cannot get the unit to power back on. I have taken off the cover and pressed the reset button. I've also held down the power button for more than 10 seconds, nothing. Tried the APX and CWM power up combos and nothing.

I'm not sure how this happened. It was running fine in two different ROMs, but once I powered it down properly, it wouldn't come back. At all.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
These are common mistakes that I've noticed on the board.

1. If you want to format a partition, just format it. There's no need to mount it first. In fact, you shouldn't.

2. There is no need to format the boot and system partitions separately prior to a ROM install because

a) the boot partition is overwritten and

b) the system partition is formatted by the install process.

3. To wipe all user data, simply:

- Wipe data/Factory reset

or, in extreme cases

- Re-partition the internal SD card, and then

- Format cache.

Otherwise, you're just uselessly repeating steps and wasting time troubleshooting the wrong things.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PapsinManila:
After a few more hours messing around and reading boards, it appears my GTab is operating in APX and couldn't tell. I can access APX through USB. I now wonder if I had a bad BL version (I used the combo DRH version which was posted to use before the ICS ROM - I thought latest was best(?).

I tried to back down to a lower BL (1105 bekit Nvflash?), but the directions are a little confusing. Do I need to install new version of CWM first? And in terms of changing the names in nvflash file, which one?? I am starting now to care whether I get 1.1 or 1.2 working -- just something.

I'm not too proud to admit I am over my head now - I would be thrilled to see the Birds again some day.

Thanks in advance!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Which ROM do you want to install?

If you want to install any ICS ROM, just follow the preparatory steps given in the TeamDRH's ICS ROM thread.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PapsinManila:
But I can't boot into Clockwork Mode yet, stuck in APX. The GTab will not boot up at all. I have tried reflashing, but that is not helping. It completes the nvflash process, but then on reboot, it hangs on the Birds.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
1. Which specific nvflash package did you flash last?

2. See if running this command in APX mode helps:

C:\SOME\PATH> [B].\nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --format_partition 7 --format_partition 12 --go[/B]

Make sure that you run the command while sitting in the directory containing both the nvflash executable and the bootloader.bin file.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
Ok so I was switching out my boot animations and found one that I liked. However, I also wanted to switch out the animation that plays when my phone is shutdown/restarted. I noticed the file SPC_Downanimation.zip. Logic told me that this was the file I needed to modify. That logic happened to be accurate. However, every bootanimation that I've loaded as the down animation displays at a resolution completely different than it does when it is the opening boot animation. The downanimation only takes up the top left quarter of the screen. It also does not loop. Does anyone know the difference between these two types of animations? And how can I get my downanimation.zip to format correctly to the screen's resolution?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ducky1131:
The downanimation.zip you are wanting to add should have a desc.txt file inside of it. Open it in a text editor and make the top line of text look like this for the proper resolution.

720 1280 20

The way it plays is dictated by the rest of the text. The downanimation file I looked at from my phone looked like this on the other line:

p 1 1 android

That's a lot different than most bootanimations I have seen... My guess is you'll have to hack up what you want to add to make it match, or be really close, to what was already there. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
Is that for the stock downanimation screen or within a custom ROM? I am running Viper on mine right now so the downanimation is different. I think you're right though. Now that I think about it. When I originally sifted through the desc.txt files of the various bootanimations I wanted I was only looking at the resolution. I wasn't looking at anything else. All of them had 720 1280 20 in them so I figured they would play correctly.

The other thing I didn't understand was that I could take the exact same bootanimation, name it SPC_bootanimation.zip, and it would play just fine (proper resolution and FPS). But if I simply changed the file name to SPC_downanimation.zip it would completely screw up. Logic, at least to me, would state that the desc.txt parameters for animation functionality would be the same within both animation types regardless of whether they are at startup or shutdown. The only difference, again within my logic and understanding, would be the file name that is called upon from the shutdown routine. That is the part that really baffles me. *shrug*
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ducky1131:
I think there is a limitation on the file size of downanimations, but I don't know what that number is... If you do happen to get some to work, please post them. Good luck!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Concordium:
I definitely will. Thanks for the help.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BrooksBlood:
Absolutely amazing Steve :-) bravo! You helped me out so much and I'm glad you decided to make the thread after we talked. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
no probs its a nice way to use the kindle.

you can tweak it anyway you want, I just thought if I made the tutorial to mimic mine then it was easier for me to explain etc.

glad you like it, it works great on any rom and i allways do full backup in twrp 2.1.1 then wipe everything flash new rom/gapps etc boot once then return to twrp and restore previous roms data (only) and all my settings and wallpaper etc is still there:-)

only need to do all this once (thank god) lol.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BrooksBlood:
What is the best resolution for the wallpapers? Mine all look pretty fuzzy
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
1024x600

also when dl wallpapers always click on image 1st (don't just dl the thumbnail).

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BrooksBlood:
Yup :) i know, used your wallpapers instead of the ones i had chosen and they work great in landscape but when i go to portrait they are not lined up. you experiencing this as well? im gonna look for more images to use since now i know what resolution to look for :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
when you say not lined up , i take it you mean the images in the pictures move from land to port mode?

i just keep my shortcuts at the bottom and most of my icons at the top are folders, so with 1x row at the top and 1x row at the bottom there's alot of space left in the middle for Widgets, (or leave it blank like i do so that you can see all of the wallpapers.

some pic's work better than others, one of my media images is perfect as it has black top and bottom and works good both in land & port.

it took me as long finding images to use on the different screens as it did to setup hubs. lol.

the thing is after 4 months of having hubs on my kindle i've only just got it how i want it.

also i think you need wallpaper scrolling set in rom settings for the multipicture to work.

also it all works best with all screen settings both rom & adw set so the screen transaction is at it fastest. then when you press one of you home screen shortcuts it zooms out & back in again as fast as poss.

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BrooksBlood:
Well I guess what I'm trying to say is that when I go portrait the left most screen is white, then when I got to screen 2 it has my left most wallpaper there. Here's some pics. The last screen shot should hopefully explain what I mean. The abstract wallpaper is supposed to be screen 2 and its in-between screen 2 and 3.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
there is a setting somewhere in wallpaper app "force 5 screens"

i will check it out and come back to you

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
in multipicture settings scroll down near the bottom it says something about workarounds its in there. force 5 screens. that should do it:-)

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] BrooksBlood:
Yup that did it, I went and checked it and I accidentally had it set for none. :-) thanks again
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
I have ADW but I'm using Apex at the moment.

I have 5 screens set up but when I'm scrolling in portrait it doesn't show the wallpapers that have a landscape design (like the geek wallpaper). When I'm in landscape it does.

Any idea how to keep that from happening in portrait?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
it should work.

although never tried with apex as it doesn't have home screen shortcuts.

have you got the following.

forced 5 screen, multipicture settings.

scrolling wallpaper in rom and adw.

edit: don't forget when you select picture folder path for wallpapers yo need to select, fit to screen.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
I need to check and see if it has something to do with the rows/columns. I think I have 8 and 8 set up so maybe changing to 5 and 5 will fix it.

Think I have the settings you list above set up although I'm just using one wallpaper for each screen, not a folder.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
glad your nearly there:-)

do yo realize that the nice bit of all this is the adw screen shortcuts, as it allows you to change screens by pressing an icon. ie on my setup i press games icon on any screen and it goes straight to the 1st home screen (where all my games are) or media icon on any screen takes me straight to my media home page (no 2) and so on.

it means any apps are only two taps away (unless you have folders in which case its three taps). in other words you can but don't have to scroll through your screens, just tap an icon.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
Yeah, I played around w/ hubs before flashing an ICS ROM using ADW Pro. Just playing with Apex right now to see if I want to go with hubs again.

Thanks for the advice.

Any other cool wallpapers you care to share? :)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
no mate it took me ages to find those lol.

a good wallpaper is hard to come by:-)

happy searching.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] gett:
How to place pictures in folders, I can plase shortcuts only?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
make the folders on pc then drag and drop images into these folders. but make sure you download the full image in the first place and not just the thumbnail. these folders need to be put in pictures on sdcard (do not put all folders in one main folder or it doesn't find the path properly
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] brizey:
Apex does have homescreen shortcuts. They are at the bottom of the apex action selections.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
thats good to know i used to use apex and only changed to adw to get that function.

I'm using nova launcher now and after its last update I think it's working better than ADW at this point. The ability to move Widgets back to front as well as adding icons to move to different screens has really won me over. And thanks for that detailed write up! Way better then I could have done!
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] pantana:

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] pantana:

I like it :good:
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
Okay, I've pretty much tried everything and can't get the wallpapers to scroll correctly.

Closest I've gotten is when the scrolling more or less worked but would skip the landscape wallpapers when in portrait.

Only thing I can think of is something with how I downloaded them. I just copied the folder from your Dropbox link and exported them from mine to my Pictures folder.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
if the force 5 screens option in settings is set, then i would think your folders/paths are not right. go back to op and take note of the 1st section about creating gallery folders. (each home screen must have its own folder in the pictures folder on sdcard, so in gallery they show as different folders)

sent from my new non bricked kindle:-)
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
Even if I only want to use one wallpaper for each screen?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
?mmmmmm? not sure, give it a try and let me know if it sorts it
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
Works in landscape but not portrait. Still skips some images and uses another screens image.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
are rom settings ok ie. scrollable wallpaper ticked etc
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Badgerino:
Yep. Could it have something to do with scroll speed?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] lovejoy777:
try multipicture settings, when you pick an album or picture path there is an option for "crop/resize ratio" this should be "fit to full screen".

then in workarounds for some home applications "force 5 screens"

scrolling wallpaper on in both rom settings and adw settings.

and put all settings on fastest scroll speed and zoom or fly in/out.

if all else fails you can start again and follow the step by step instructions from op.

cheers
