2.2.0 ....awesome!!

Flashed 2.2.0 over 2.0.2 without wiping data with no problems. Quadrant scores went from 1850 to 2450. Flash seems a little slower to load, but very smooth.

Need roebeet's paypal address so I can donate!!!

Its the only reason he purchased this thing from what a hear.

Take notes ViewSonic we have your customers begging to give a man money, who has never asked for it, because he delivers a product we are happy with (like you should have in the first place) in his spare time. You guys are paying a room full of people to do what several dis-joined developers here have done for free in a quarter of the time. Tell you what on your support site QnA just link this thread and save everyone alot of time and restocking fees.

I might have a donation alternative

Anyone like comics? I plan to sell a good portion of mine to feed my tablet addiction. It's actually how I got the money to buy my GTab, in the first place!

My fleaBay profile: http://myworld.ebay.com/roebeet

I haven't really delved into one-off sales, as I need to figure out the cheapest way to package them up to keep shipping down (probably media mail). I want to work out the kinks this weekend and figure out a plan.

Basically, I will sell some in lots, but I'll do some one-offs as well or small lots for series. Once I get this pinned down, maybe I'll add something to my profile for easy access. And you get a comic, so everyone wins!

Btw, I really appreciate all the offers and comments. I read them and it really makes it worth spending the time to work on this!

If you sold them one at a time I am willing to bet someone buys one for 20 bucks and probably another one on down the line..:cool:

Re: RockPlayer.apk

I am running Rock Player ver 11.47 optimized for ARMv7VFPV3D16 (RockPlayer Ver 1.2.20)

My system has Android 2.20 TnT Lite UI version 2.2.0

Kernel version 2.6..32.9-00000-10.8.2-dirty

Build No. FRF91

RockPlayer application Settings: Hardware Decoding Mode: On (ie. Player mode: Hardware Decoding Mode: Set to On - under Settings: Player Mode)

I can not get the player to function under any Hardware Code Setting. The player only works for me when I select the Software Decoding Mode option.

I noticed that in ehunyadi's you tube video (post #388), he demonstrates the RockPlayer application and it seems that his package is running under the Hardware Mode. ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbcfA9u9O5w )

Are there any other system configuration setting(s) I need to do in the Android Setting's panel (maybe in the "system" application panel?) . Why does my package not run in Hardware Mode?

The Player does work in Software Mode for me but is quite slow & kludgey. Audio and Video are not synced in a few video formats and the only format that runs ok is ".AVI".

I have tried these formats:

H264

AVI

1080p DTS.BluRay.DTS.x264

720p.BluRay.x264.DTS

Any ideas as to the configuration setting that I need to do to enable the Android 2.2 hardware code function?

FWIW - Thank's to Roebeet and his V2.20 build! I installed last night and my machine is running flawless. BT works great with my Nokia BH-503 & Motoroloa S9-HD headphone(s). I am running ADW.Launcher. My QS bench is a screaming 2508. The only thing I had to fix after the Flash was the Market Place fix. The How-To is described earlier in the thread and works fine.
[G Tablet General] th3c1am:
Can someone please help me! I looking to pick up one of these for Xmas and I am a total noob. Never done something like this before. And Ive read through most of this and its just very hard for me to get a concrete idea of how to install tnt 2.2.0. Can someone post the exact steps of how to install this Rom from stock just out of the box??
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Just read the first post in this thread - I have instructions for stock devices with no mods ("standard recovery").

The last version (2.2.0) is a full update, no additional supplements are needed.
[G Tablet General] md2md:
Roebeet, Thanks for the tremendous work you did on this device. It's been great so far with the device getting better and better with each update.

Since moving from 2.04 to 2.1.1 and then 2.2 the google framework is constantly FC ing which is causing G market not letting me install any programs. Is this a known issue?
[G Tablet General] artisticcheese:
I got RockPlayer working using hardware mode on Zpad ROM, this one (TnT) was always crashing for me (RockPlay will just exit when you choose hardware decoding).

I'm playing 720p MKV file using RockPlayer hardware acceleration under Zpad ROM. Audio is not working for me though, so still trying to figure it out. But for sure hardware mode does work for me using RockPlayer on Zpad ROM.

Hulu and GLES Optimized Adobe Flash

I'm running TNT Lite 2.2, newest GLES Optimized Adobe Flash and the Samsung libflashplayer.so fix:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=856318&highlight=hulu

Hulu plays fine with this method with some occasional glitching. The menus on the flash respond a bit nicer now, it stays up for a little while so at least you can select them. Hulu's menus only appear when you hover you cursor over the Video on a regular PC. Touch screen input doesn't really hover like that, at least not in the previous flash version, this version behaves much nicer. Works in full screen as well, can be tricky ESCing from fullscreen. Any tips on this would be welcome.

The only thing is that this new GLES optimized flash version seems to corrupt memory somehow. I've had several spontaneous reboots after viewing videos from Hulu. Has anyone seen this or similar experiences?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I havent seen this on 2.2.0, but I have seen it before. You might need to wipe data and / or fix permissions in clockworkmod (if you have it). Are you getting the UID messages?
[G Tablet General] md2md:
I did try updating with wiping data and cache and still getting the FC box messages continuously ( if that is what you meant by UID)

Edit: wiped again & updated = FIXED! thanks
[G Tablet General] th3c1am:
Thanks for the quick response...I guess going off of that once I do the install what else is needed? Or am I good to go just start installing apps from the marketplace? Sorry for the dumb questions but there is just so much information here its overwhelming...guess thats a good thing though. Also as far as backing up. Do i need to be cautious of anything before simply taking it out of the box and flashing this onto it?
[G Tablet General] modal realism:
Trying the market fix for the 4th time :) Hope it works!

I have found that it depends on the file you play. FLV's only work with software encoding, while the AVI's I am playing use hardware encoding.

First Post - So start with Thank you roebeet

TNT 2.2.0 lite - Great.

My only problem is that ti-backup is now complaining about no root. and so no way of trying the market fix. Not a huge problem as I have sideloaded all the apk's I wanted, and pulled the others from other locations. but having ti-backup up and running would be tremendous.

Also as a Android / Tablet newbie

What devices work on the usb-host port? can I use a usb wired network card? or is it only keyboards, and mice? I have tried usb flash's, and realized that they dont seem to work. Is it possible to plug a webcam into the device to scan QR codes?

How can one scan qr codes on this device as the camera is forward facing pushing the buttons is a little difficult.

Overall I love this device, and so far every app I have loaded just works.

ACV, Adobe reader X, games, etc
[G Tablet General] reacheks:
Hi ehunyadi:

Do you know of any way to make the K-Lite Codecs ( http://www.codecguide.com/links.htm ) work with any of the Android video media player(s) (ie. mVideoPlayer would be nice)? I use this package on my Windows_XP platform with Classic Media Player (Windows Media Player also works).

Thank's for your video as it was helpful to see how you configured your Gtab.

I am very happy with ESPN3.com streams, the LiveTV.apk (ESPN2 stream is good) and the video stream found using the Movies.apk app. All of these are available in The Market.

In fact, the video player used in the Movies.apk (and their streaming trailers) provide an excellent example of the power of the hardware built into the Gtablet. Once RockPlayer is optimized for the Tegra processor, this devise will be as good as my cable set top box (but w/o the monthly fee(s).

When the docking station is available, I plan to use my Gtab as an IPTV streaming devise to my 46"HDMI LCD display. It's going to be sweet.

[G Tablet General] tcrews:
An easy Market fix is to do this...

Fire up the "crippled market" then exit.

go to settings, applications, system applications and find Google Services Framework and select it. Clear Cache then Force Stop it.

Do the same for Market, Clear Cache then Force Stop it.

Exit back to the homescreen, click the Market and it should error. Power off the GTab and then power it back on. Full Market should be there now.

I've done this on my GTab with stock TnT but rooted and proper Google files pushed to the phone as well as doing this on the Android Emulator running from the Android-sdk on my PC. I did it as well after installing the latest TnT Lite and then just downloaded Titanium Backup from the Market to reinstall the data for a few of my apps (like Angry Birds game position, etc.....).
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I suggest you set up an "XDA appreciation collection" with a few comics per bundle. That way we can buy the comics in 5 comic bundles and feed your need for a second G :)

You will probably get some good business ;)

[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
I recall seeing someone do quite a bit of experimenting with Handbrake to find the optimal video format for use by the G-Tab, but that was a few weeks ago. I would suggest trying to find that. In that thread, he posted the settings that worked best. I am guessing that with TnT 2.20, using those settings would make the video glass-smooth and beautiful.

I cannot connect to my corporate network. We us 802.1x. Anyone know of a workaround?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I wonder if, with 2.2 being a full install, and what appears to be a rock-solid one at that, if a new thread should be started, so that newbies don't pour through this thread with so much old information. Take the first post (with maybe a tweak or two to make it more useable in the eye of a newbie, instead of people who've been following along during TNTLite's impressive evolution), and start a new thread? It *might* (emphasis on *might*!) help cut down on the repeat questions about Market and Flash.

I agree with this, there's so much good info that has been finalized and figured out.

Also, a small expansion on how to install and wipe clockworkmod would be helpful.

When I ran the cyanogen mod on the gtablet it seemed to work just fine. Not sure what the difference is there.
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
The default G-tab wifi (included in TNT-lite) is a very barebones utility. If the cyanogen wifi module can be added to TNT-lite it would probably allow this.

Can anybody hear audio in this file on Gtablet?

Hello,

I can not figure out how to do I encode properly video so audio will play as well. I was successfully in making video smooth using handbrake but regardless of what ROM I use or what player I use can not get audio to play on speakerphones.

File is there. Can you try to play on your device

[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
I was tinkering w/ video playback, and the "Movie Player" and "Movies" apps work much smoother than Rockplayer (probably due to hardware acceleration). Thing is, are there any settings for the Movies app like rockplayer? The encoded video needs to be stretched slightly to full screen, but the app looks very "barebones" for a video player. I reencoded a movie using "Handbrake" to h264, but it's a little sqooshed on the g tablet and doesn't take up the whole screen. Everything looks a little skinny. Any fix for this? Thanks..

Tried this yet? Set it up as "close" as you can get it, then run this tool and set it up "again". That's how I did mine, and it worked first thing, no fuss.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/wifi-advanced-config-editor/org.marcus905.wifi.ace

Only problem I had was it seemed like it changed the ownership of a config file, so I found that and fixed it but don't recall the name offhand. Wifi wouldn't launch and adb logcat info was showing permission errors I believe.. It was pretty obvious what was going on.

2. Plugged in a usb flash drive/thumb drive and again used file explorer to open a word document on the usb drive using documents to go on my gtab. Again no problems whatsover.

***UPDATE 2***

Works with all of my other FAT32 formatted drives. Of course I had to pick the "bad" one to initially test with. In the trash it goes!!!

Market issues???

Something is up with the Market on the GTab, even after the "fix" is applied. For example, on my Android phone I can see "MultiPicture Live Wallpaper"in the Market, but not on the GTab. Same thing with "Android CHM EBook Reader".

I tried installing the "Market Access" app to emulate a T-Mobile SIM (which I do on my AT&T phone to gain full market access), but it didn't help. (I downloaded the APK manually)

Anybody know what's up???

Just went from 2.0 to 2.2 directly with no wipes or changes beforehand.

Clockword mod has never been installed in my g tablet.

Used SD card for update.

Took a while for the update to process (longer than 2.0 did)

Checked for problems with the numbers on the keyboard - no problem.

Market previously fixed under 2.0 works now under 2.2 with no update needed.

Flash update done after 2.0 works now under 2.2.

Quadrant went from 1870 under 2.0 to 2455 under 2.2.

Responsiveness of touch screen seems to have improved - had some lag issues at times before.

YouTube video on the explorer web browser plays smoothly.

YouTube video using YouTube app runs smoothly!

Overall - nice and fast!

Thanks Roebeet!!!!!!!!!!!!

When Titanium was complaining about not having root for me, it was because I was too slow the first time I ran Titanium after install to hit the "Allow" button.

Gtablet crap out of the box

I bought the gtab thinking that it would work as well as the android phones we use at work but I couldnt have been more incorrect. So I said I will try the Tnt lite but i am more confused than ever!!

After reading 90 something pages of the advantages of the Tnt lite and all the work put into it by you guys decided to give it a try. i read the faq and all of the updates about making backups with Titianium and I cant even get a backup made:(

Then I said well i will get clockwork running but I couldnt even find the apk for it. I need to have the pad rooted ? to make a backup and have busybox?

I thought I was pretty savvy but I was severely mistaken.

I would appreciate it if there was a NEW thread with a step by step to get caught up with the rest of the class.

Thanks in advance
