I did 3x wipe and then installed 4.4 from 4.3.2 Now my power button and volume buttons don't work. the side buttons are iffy and I can't even shut it off and boot into recovery!

USB Debug Mode

Can anyone tell me how to enter debug mode when I cannot even boot the tablet?

I am trying to recover from boot loops and nvflash did not work so I am attempting to use adb but it does not see the device.

I think that I need to put it in debug mode but I don't know how to do this without being able to boot.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] iraqmilner:
Are all cores...

Are all cores being utilized with this rom or are we only using one?

Thanks for the spiffy rom!
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I never thought the use the power widget. It works now! Thanks!

Now I need to figure out why the provider on my EVo is causing it to freeze when I quit the program (B2GPs and Bluetooth GPS both do it).
[G Tablet General] bblackmoor:
You need to nvflash. Yes, I see that you tried it. Read all the notes on it, make sure you have all the correct files, and try again.
[G Tablet General] samaruf:
You're welcome. I use ShareGPS on the EVO and bluegps4droid on the gtab.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone know of a quality honeycomb theme for tnt lite? Is themeing possible? Would really appreciate any insight. Thanks!

Edit: I would* appreciate any insight

Wake from sleep issue.

Is there a fix currently for the wake from sleep issue with this rom? I absolutely love the rom however I am having a serious issue with powering the unit up from sleep. The power button doesn't work or the volume keys. The only option I have is the ol' fashion reboot. Any assistance would be appreciated.:D
[G Tablet General] synaptyc:
Stock rom is working perfectly. The HOME soft button just activates the Clock Dock after installing TnT 4.4

goofy.

I guess I can live with using the upper left Home button on the screen until the next version... then try again :o

All-in-all ... I love this rom. Much better than Vegan.

Excellent work!
[G Tablet General] fpga_guy:
I had the same problem - wake from sleep always result in a reboot. Also, the wifi had to be manually turned on again. I am back at 4.2.5 which works fine for me.

There has to be a nasty firmware/device interface bug - or else the hardware design is marginally. This sleep problem seems to affect a small number of people and may be application dependent.
[G Tablet General] bsi007:
TetherGPS App works flawlessly. It's a paid app but worth it. There is a light version that gives you 5 mins connect time.

+1 for me as well. I installed 4.4.0 after receiving my tablet from Woot (and updating to 1.1 from viewsonic). It only happens intermittently but does get annoying. Only non-stock thing running is ADW EX as my default launcher.
[G Tablet General] Os Money:
Can you access hard drives or USB sticks via USB while using tntl 4.4?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Definitely USB thumb drives, but external drives I'm note sure (I have EXT3/4 drives, so I don't even bother).

I'm thinking it could be an app, it makes the most sense. My device is fairly clean, and I believe there have been apps that are known to cause sleep issues, tmk.
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
i have a 1TB usb external HDD and i will say yes. you can access external hard drives with this. i've got all my movies and music on this hard drive and they all work.
[G Tablet General] samaruf:
Yes, it works for me too without any issues. I'd recommend it for people with finicky Bluetooth problems.
[G Tablet General] snarful:
Is this a drive formatted NTFS that works on 4.4?
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
both. the partition is split in half 1/2 is fat 32 (for wii homebrew and small stuff) other half NTFS (large files such as primary HD ghost image and game backups for steam)
[G Tablet General] snarful:
That's good to know. I'm currently running TNTL 5.0, which doesn't see my NTFS drive. I may just back out of 5.0, to 4.4, as external drive support would be great.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Keep in mind that NTFS support is still a big of a pain. I added Clem's kernel to TNTL 4.4.0 and that has NTFS support, but I believe you need to mount it manually (someone keep me honest here - I think that's the case).
[G Tablet General] cheapskate88:
Ive tried every market fix and I'm still getting the "no content matches" market error. I'm slowly losing my mind.

2 Full wipes using caulkins format all zip.

Edited build prop to Olympus

Dozens of market and Google framework data/cache wipes.

Flashed between this and the honeybread cm7 rom. Ill be flashing back to this again.

Anyone have any idea what could be that matter?
[G Tablet General] booge3211:
first major crash was today, let the gtab sit on sleep for 16 hours, woke up to a bunch of FC errors, was forced to do the first data wipe in 4 months! so sad didnt back up all of my apps in titanium back up because i am a jack ass! so all of you who dont have enough time to back up each app one by one, do it. it is well worth the trouble.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think you've done everything that I would have. :confused:
[G Tablet General] cheapskate88:
Thanks for answering my pleas, roebeet. I was starting to feel a little lonely...

Yeah, this whole thing is really blowing my mind. I've also repartitioned as well. Same result.

Would flashing back to stock and then adding the market.apk, vending.apk, etc. old-school style be any different then just flashing your rom? I'm very tempted to do so, but I don't want to waste any more time on this whole thing than I have to (I already killed my Sunday)

I'm going to try to use a different google account and see if that does anything... Would you let me know if you think of anything?

EDIT:

I stayed up til 3 and actually got it to work. Ran an nvflash and worked my way back. Market is back, 100%.

What a giant pain in the A... Although now that it's fixed, the whole thing feels strangely comforting.

I <3 Android.
[G Tablet General] jjenson:
I have what I think is a strange problem this was a stock gtab I was doing and this rom and root was super easy everything went well. I wanted to install clockwork to get my backups and everything so I flashed it and it says its successful but now when I try to boot up into it it just says recovery key detected then nothing happens at all?
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
roebeet has been suggesting not using cwmod to prevent possible future issues
[G Tablet General] jjenson:
Well I do it this way cause his is the easiest to install with root quickly then I flash clockwork and then install another rom. I like this rom but I like to play and move back and forth and so clockwork is a must as far as I know.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
How did you flash recovery? With the recovery pack or via an update.zip?

Also you also mentioned that you rooted it - are you using TNT Lite or just a rooted device? More details would be helpful. It sounds like you borked recovery, but I'm not sure what you did to get to that point.

As for cwm itself, it's true that I don't recommend it anymore for flashing only, but it's still a great tool for things like Nandroid backups and the data wipes. This is why I created the Recovery Pack, so that way you could toggle back and forth. Right now, cwm should work fine for flashing -- but if Viewsonic releases that new bootloader soon (and I still think there's a chance they will) then we'll have the same problems with cwm that the Notion Ink Adams did - lots of soft bricks.

(gets onto soapbox) I also warned the community about the onslaught of Woot! users when I saw the sale, but no one really thought it was a major concern. Well, look at General now and see the result - we even have a "Q&A" section that wasn't there before. So I have a pretty good feel for these things - it's what I do in my day job.

Well, here's my next warning -- I think there's a chance (not 100%, but at least a 30% chance) that the next Viewsonic firmware will have the 3991-based bootloader. And if that happens, we're going to start seeing a LOT of soft bricks because of clockworkmod. This is exactly what happened to Notion Ink Adam last month. Users will become very accustomed to nvflash because they won't have a choice.

I think that the reason why they are delaying is that they need to figure out how to get users to that 3588 "gateway ROM" via code - that way, some users get one update if they are on 3588, but get two updates if they are on something earlier than 3588. That's my guess. (gets off soapbox)

:)
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Just for the record, most of the device sub-forums now have a Q&A section -- it looks like the XDA guys did a slight redesign when they did those server moves.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Interesting, so it wasn't a response to the Woot users. My bad, then. Still, it's good to have specifically for the new userbase.
[G Tablet General] jjenson:
I installed tnt lite from the stock base through a update.zip this worked perfectly then I went through and tried the market fix to get rom manager so I installed that then flashed clockwork recovery via selecting gtablet option.

This is the whole process I did. I actually have done this process on 4 tablets without issue but this one recovery is messed up. Anyways I guess I need to use nvflash then start over?

I was just hoping I could fix it without that but if not no biggie. I did order these from woot but I bought a gtab the first day I could from sears so been around doing this for a bit now.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
I thought the same thing actually until I went to the Evo forum and saw one there. Thankfully while there are a lot of noobs to the gTab (like me), there also seems to be a good number of XDA vets who are also new to the gTab who can take up some of the slack.
[G Tablet General] overground:
HyperJump seems off, there should be a free trial on the market.

Read through a few pages here, and didn't see this issue reported. After installing "Thumb Keyboard" from the market, Settings>Language and Keyboard does not let me select it. The notification about stealing passwords, blah blah blah, comes up, but the keyboard remains unchecked and is not available in the list to change IME. Putting it in /system/app/ after extracting the lib files from the .apk and placing them in /system/lib/ works, and I can use it after that. Just wondering if a normal keyboard install not working is a known issue?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That's probably your problem -- cwm on ROM Manager is bad and you should avoid it.

Read up on my first post about the Recovery Pack (it's in TNT Lite 4.4.0) -- you can install a proper version of cwm that way. You just need adb or a Terminal Emulator to do it. If that still doesn't work, you should be able to nvflash just the clockworkmod .8 bekit version.

Yep, normal for stock (and thus TNT Lite). I have mentioned this a few times in this thread, but a suggestion: Call VS CS and complain about it - I actually just did this again last week, but I'm just one person. If enough people call and complain, then maybe they will fix it.

As for HyperJump, I'll take a look. Thanks!

EDIT: Tried it on my Xoom, first. It's broken on there, big time. Could be "unfixable" on tablets, even with the hack.

EDIT2: It seems to work on my GTAB (TNT Lite 4.4.0), from what I can gather. Definitely more playable than on the Xoom. I thnk it's designed to only use two sensors (left and right) and you play it lying flat.
[G Tablet General] kevinbakon08:
FINALLY up and running with TnT Lite v4.4.0 . . .

So far, although buggy from time to time, I REALLY like the ROM.

Immediately, I've got 3 issues/questions though and I'm hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. I've tried searching, but I can't seem to find the exact issue/questions I have:

1) I can not change the Input Method??? I've got 3 different keyboards installed and all of them react the same when I try change the Input Method. I select my keyboard of choice from settings, then I get the message

I select OK and nothing changes???

2) I have wiped all the data on my SD card, but every time I plug in the "blank" card, the gTablet creates 2 directories. One is "sdcard" which contains an existing file/directory structure. The second directory is "sdcard2" which contains any content I added to the SD card. Based on some search results I DID find, someone mentioned that VEGAn has an issue with mounting the card properly and some have experienced the same as I have. I'm not running VEGAn though.

3) I can't seem to restore any of my apps using Titanium or Mybackup??? Unless someone has a noobie recommendation for transferring my apps with data from my HTC Incredible to my gTablet, I was led to believe I could back up all my apps from my phone & simply swap the SD card and restore using either of these apps . . . . . my gut tells me that this issue is due to proper card reading/mounting, etc . . . specifically, I suspect I SHOULD be able to restore everything, but not until I figure out this "sdcard2" situation. . . . Im happy to try another backup/restore option if I can figure it out, lol

Thanks,

Kevin
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
1) Known issue with gTablet. Keyboards must be installed to /system/app rather than /data/app. You can use Root Explorer to move it.

2) Standard behavior for gTablet. Internal storage is referred to as SDCARD in the file hierarchy. Your external MicroSD card is mounted as SDCARD2. They are physically separate entities.

3) Titanium backup worked for me when I moved the archived files to the internal storage (SDCARD).
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
you have to push and hold in a text entry box somewhere then the menu will pop up asking you which input method you want

as far as trans-device backup/restore, the only thing i'm aware of that does it is mybackup pro, but not sure if it would work between two very different devices...
[G Tablet General] sverbanic:
What would you peg the chance of getting a new version of cwm that works with the new 1.2 booloader at? Would the 3.05 version be worth a shot?
[G Tablet General] kevinbakon08:
Update:

1) No dice . . . I've uninstalled the keyboards, moved & installed from here /system/app . . . the keyboards are indeed back in the settings options, but I get the same results . . . the message, then no checkmark. When I press+hold in a text box, I am able to change keyboards, the problem is that the tablet isn't allowing me to "activate" or view these keyboards as options when in "Input Method" in a text field

2) Good to know and reassuring, thanks!

3) I tried the Mybackup files from both sdcard and sdcard2 with no success. The app sees the correct folder "Appbackup_Mar31_2011" but has no retrievable content (even though I am certain the data is present). I also tried doing the same with Titanium, only from sdcard2 though. I'll try moving all the content to the same location, but on the sdcard directory this time
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I already have one - I built it out before I released the now infamous TNT Lite 5.00.

The problem, however, is the same. If you use clockworkmod either way (to go from 1.1 to 1.2 firmware, or vice versa) you WILL soft brick your device. That's assuming the 1.2 firmware is unchanged, when they release it.

Bottom line: Just be wary of this when the new firmware comes out. We need to test it, first.

I think keyboards are spotty, even if you drop them in /system/app. Not to beat a dead horse here, but if this is a problem then PLEASE call Viewsonic and tell them this. If every person who wants this fixed actuallly called them, they might actually make this a high priority in their next release. It couldn't hurt! :)
[G Tablet General] Tracker Tim:
Been using 4.0. Only issue I have is the gtablet locks up when I transfer files using Bluetooth.
[G Tablet General] jjenson:
Thanks I will give this a try it. I did it before and it worked so figured I was good on it.
[G Tablet General] K J Rad:
Some keyboards may also require different permissions depending on what kind of auxiliary files they require. It's more black art than science.

Never used mybackup so couldn't begin to guess on that. Titanium has worked great for me.
[G Tablet General] jakehale:
Just want to add my "worked like a champ" on 4.4

[G Tablet General] justauser:
2 recovery options you describe

In your first post you talk about the 2 shell scripts to flash different recovery ROMs. One flashes to the stock recovery and the other to cwm. I am assuming the base install of TNTL is the stock recovery. So if we want to flase an updated Clemsyn kernel we can use the script to set up CWM, reboot and use CWM to install the new kernel and then after reboot we should use the script to get back to stock recovery so that we are heeding your warning/post about why to avoid CWM.

Correct?
[G Tablet General] kevinbakon08:
1) Done - Strange thing happened this morning . . . I had absolutely no success after several attempts & restarts yesterday, but after my tablet shut down & wouldn't turn on this morning, I held down the power button for some time & held my breath . . . . When it finally came up, (sigh) although I'd done nothing different, I tried changing the keyboard in a text field & it works flawlessly every time!!!

2) Done - N/A

3) Done - Once I moved the files from "/sdcard2/TitaniumBackup" to "/sdcard/TitaniumBackup", I was able to immediately view all my previous backups and restored them without a hitch!!!

I was able to restore my apps and data using MyBackupPro, when I migrated from my Moto Droid to my Droid Incredible, so I assumed the same would work for this "migration" but I've given up now that TB did the job!

Thanks so much everyone for your help!

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Decided to update my situation, still on TTx 0.9.2:

Ended up not nvflashing back to bekit Nov stock fw then to the franken TnTl, because:

I also ended up having stuck downloads for updates along with the google services framework FCs, so I ended up re-doing the market "fix" from the settings->applications way as I normally do. Not only fixed my market download problem(had to cancel dls that were still trying) but also seems to have fixed my google services FCs.

i.e. it would appear to me that the data cache of the google services framework process had gotten corrupted somewhere along the way, which was strange as I did a COMPLETE wipe and re-install of TnTl 5.0 (defunct) TTx 0.9 (new name) then the supplement TTx 0.9.2. Still have loads of artifacts from the what I believe to be buggy nVidia drivers used in 3991 fw.

So ATM I'm sticking with TTx as it's working stably aside from the artifacts.

@roebeet

B&N are ebaying refurbed Nook WiFi classic for $79 + FREE shipping... so very tempting but I'm overloaded w/gadgetry ATM and no time... but still a Nook is prolly better than a Kobo WiFi...

here I'll post the link, not sure if we can but...

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Or do the opposite - leave cwm on most of the time, and then jut flip to standard recovery as needed. That's the real reason why I created it - I'd be foolish to think that everyone would just stop using cwm given tools like nandroid backup. But this gives you the ability to swing back to standard recovery whenever the need requires.

Perfect example: If, hypothetically, the next stock firmware needs a new bootloader, then you'd want standard recovery for that. This is kind of a "failsafe" plan so it's there if you need it.

Nook is fairly heavy and, imo, that color screen is completely useless - back when I tested it out, it only showed book covers for items you purchased (perhaps they fixed that). It does have a replaceable battery.

The Kobo, on the other hand, is ridiculously light and the screen might be a little better. I happened to grab a Kobo for $60 during the Borders closeout, so it was a no brainer. I also have a Kindle 3 whose screen blows away both the Nook and Kobo, but the Kindle has its own issues. I use the Kindle for myself, and the kids get the Kobo.

AccountAndSyncSettings.apk?

Great job on the ROM. Been running it since I got my gTab from Woot. Now that I have multiple email accounts added to this tab, I find myself asking a simple question:

I see that the AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is located where it is supposed to be, but why is it not listed in the Settings app?

I have searched and searched, but found nothing on the matter.

Any ideas how to get this fixed?

this was the most recent post I saw in regards to CIFS... I tried mounting a CIFS share and it gets an "Out of Memory" error. I've been using the same method in Vegan and it was working.. is there something special I need to do with your ROM to use CIFS?

Their stock Settings app is not setup with syncing in mind. And even though I could replace it with something more aligned with Google stock, it breaks too many things so I need to keep it in there. Same thing for the browser - there's no easy way to rip it out.
[G Tablet General] overground:
I resorted the first page...hope that's ok.

What's the deal with the version numbering?

I'm on 4.4.0.

Is 5.0.1 better, and if so, how? What I do understand is that 5.0.x can not be flashed using CWM, however CWM .8 may be used for other operations once flashing is complete. Do I have any of this right? Am I making any sense? Where is that beautiful house? :p
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Good question.

5.0.x was supposed to be the latest version, based 100% off the 3991 UAT ROM. But with all the bootloader issues I had to completely pull it. Since 4.3.0 and 4.4.0 were only based partially off stock 3991 and partially off 3588, that's why they are 4.x and not 5.x.

There is a method to my madness. :)

So, when the new stock ROM is released (IF it's ever released), and it's still the old bootloader, TNT Lite would be upgraded to either 5.1.0 (since 5.0.x was pulled) or 6.0.0 depending on the changes. If the NEW bootloader is in there, then TwoTapsX gets reactivated and TNT Lite will be retired.
[G Tablet General] westholma4t:

so i´ve heard there is an ota update coming? true?

question is: is it worth putting in a new rom like 4.4.0 and then reverse to stock. or should i wait?

could it take days or weeks....or months to this update?

Edit: got 4.4.0 now and am so satisfied. Why did I wait??? :)

Help please!

Everything has been working great . . . . until this morning

1) I powered on and EVERY app appears to be Force Closing!

2) I'm constantly getting a message that reads "Theme not found in memory or in cache directory. Please go to settings screen and re-select your theme."

3) Most of all of my apps are missing from my app drawer, ADW stopped working, and all apps that I do have and I select, Force Close on me

4) I keep hearing this "pop" sound come through the speakers. (This is been going on since day one, but I am hearing it a lot now.)

Last night, before I powered down, I had no issues whatsoever, but not it seems as though all my SD card content isn't loading for some random reason.

Normally, I'd use clockwork to do a factory reset/wipe, then restore the ROM/Apps I backed up, but per the tutorial's instructions, I have not downloaded cwm.

Once again, I've tried finding anything similar to these new symptoms and had little results. This is the closest I found, but it seems they are using CWM. Can someone please help point me in the right direction?

For now, I'm backing up my SD card content & planning on flashing the ROM again, then restoring the apps. Hopefully I don't have to go to that extent though . . . .
