so far so good. Great work.

I tried a search didn't find anything.

Is anybody else having issues where the market works but you are only getting a limited number of apps to show up. If I search for anything nothing can be found.

I can browse all the areas but in each category only a few apps show up each.

Is this a known bug that I missed? If so sorry.

Thanks,

LK
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Check my first post, in this thread -the market is crippled by default but there's a hack to fix that.
[G Tablet General] digitalman2112:
I also have both of these issues. The screen glitches were more frequent on the "experimental" tegra code, I barely notice them now.

I was able to "just use" the tablet today which was a good thing...lots of media playing, web surfing, etc. Other than the two issues above, VERY solid. Thanks for all your hard work!
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
So far my only problem is each time I reboot I get a FC for Google Partner Setup. Not sure what to do with that?
[G Tablet General] digitalman2112:
Roebeet, I installed the ADW.Launcher from the market (spent hours trying to find it, for some reason it took a very specific string to find it) and it is much more configurable than the version in TnT 2.04.

Is there a reason you aren't including the latest in the TnT builds?
[G Tablet General] :
Keyboard alternatives

I use Smart Keyboard Pro (MUCH nicer than any others IMO) and I can install it; however, when I go to select it and make it active, I get the normal popup, but then it is never checked, so I cannot choose it as an option in edit fields. Anyone have any ideas why? I could never do this on the stock (out of the box) VSGT either.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
FC after settings

I saw this a few times, but now that I've run titanium and restored most of my add-on apps and associated data, then did a full power-cycle reboot it seems to have gone away. Overall very nice, and my exchange contacts and calendar entries are now synced!

As usual, great job!
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
Never tried it before
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My glitches seem to go away as time goes on

I can't explain it, but I'm not complaining. :)

I got the Google Partner setup FC's in early testing, but I would recommend a data wipe if you haven't done that (gapps really needs it).

I'm building out an nvflash now as my baseline and will upload it when its ready (there's another thread for that).
[G Tablet General] mrackley:
Another random question, is there a way to install a keyboard that has a mic button on it so we can do speech to text? WHY would they even consider releasing this with that not on there? Viewsonic's marketing department and TapNCrap really needs to be slapped upside the head... they obviously did not talk to any real users before designing this thing.

I tried to pair with my iPhone via Bluetooth and got fc everytime
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
Amazing Quad increase from 2.03 to 2.1.1

2.03: 1831

2.1.1 2388
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Just tried my Cowon S9 (which I know wouldn't work as the S9 has limited capabilities) and it paired at least.

FC'd with my BT mouse, which never happened before. If I had to hazard a guess, it's the Performance Pack I really hate the TnT Settings apk and wish I could make it go away.
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
I have pairedwith jawbone icon &used with yahoo video chat, Wikipedia and to stream audio
[G Tablet General] muness:
If you want a different keyboard...

I posted instructions on how to enable other keyboards with TnT Lite 2.1.1 at http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9535046&postcount=15 . Give 'em a try.
[G Tablet General] New2Android:
That is qik sorry for typo
[G Tablet General] devilotx:
So I figured out what I was doing wrong with updating, updated to 2.11, cleared user data and attempted to sideload in flash, when I start the install, device goes blank and restarts, when it comes back up, lots of stuff, bluetooth, google error out.
[G Tablet General] noob4eva:
Can I install/activate alternative keyboard on latest TnTlite? Does any (stock Android keyboard) come pre-installed? I apologize if this was posted somewhere, it is hard to keep up with the thread at the speed new versions come out :)

EDIT: Sorry, I must be blind, post is on the same last page. Ignore me.
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
Welcome screen changed, luv it

Roebeet,

During loading, just noticed you had changed the welcome one time run only screen where you press the android. Coolness, welcome to GTablet TNT Lite, Awesome!.

Great job, as always on the release!
[G Tablet General] greyspacealien:
I saw a post about this a few pages back and I'm not sure if it is the same thing. The notification bar doesn't seem to be working. Example about 1 in 10 times when pressing on the battery i get the battery screen, same with the little Wifi fan, and then notification circle with a ! in the middle. I have cleared the tab 2 times and installed 2.0 and then 2.1.1 and get the same thing. If hold my tablet in portrait style or upside down they work every time, once I turn the tablet back to normal it starts again.

Is there a way to calibrate the screen?
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
Settings app fc's on exit only issue so far

Went from 2.01 to 2.1 with a wipe in between. Only issue so far is the above mentioned FC with the settings app. Otherwise smoking Quadrant scores of 2300+. Next thing to verify is calendar & contact sync with exchange server.

Roebeet, I owe you a drink!
[G Tablet General] jonspieker:
Wipe user data question

I assume I use clockworkmod to clear the user data when I do this, can someone help me understand what I lose before I do it. For example do I lose my downloaded apps, do I need to reapply the market and flash fixes, etc? Thanks!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yes, you lose all user data, including downloaded apps. You might want to use something like Titanium Backup first.
[G Tablet General] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Is there a quadrant score on this rom? I'm just curious on the speed/capability of the tablet. Reviews aren't great, but if real developers properly use it, it seems like it's capable of a lot

[G Tablet General] mrackley:
Looks easy enough, thanks... where do I get the stock settings from?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Bluetooth pairing is broken, possibly since 2.0.3

I think it's the performance pack at fault, but not certain. TnT 2.0.0 is definitely OK. I'm looking into it.

My bad -- I really have few BT devices to test, and my BT mouse has never worked, even on stock.

Replacing the Settings apk "fixes" the issue, but of course that breaks other things. We might be in a dilemma again here where adding the performance breaks functionality, which annoys me.

I really REALLY hate the TnT layer and wish I could rid myself of it.
[G Tablet General] muness:
I updated the instructions with a link to the post with the stock settings for ease. BTW, I also added alternative instructions that are much easier:
[G Tablet General] thedudevt:
Started with 2.04, cleared data, installed 2.00, then 2.1.1.

I was getting problems with notification bar, and touchscreen not responding, so I cleared data again and reinstalled my TiBackups.

Quadrant scores w/o Overclock Widget: 2373, 2431

Quadrant scores w/ Overclock Widget (min 1GHz, Max 1.2GHz): 2488,2320,2529,2441,2674,2259,2568

All Quadrant tests run contiguously immediately after reboot.

[edit] Bluetooth is borked. com.android.settings FCs when trying to pop the Pair/Don't Pair Dialog.

Hey, we're getting closer...
[G Tablet General] WhiskeyJac:
Clearing data

Sorry is there a thread or post that deals with clearing data. I've searched but there are literally hundreds of hits.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm regression testing, now. Bluetooth worked with supplement 2.0.3, which had a variant of the performance pack. It might still be that, but it could be gapps (FSM help me if it's that). I will find the root cause eventually.....

EDIT: It's not the performance pack.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
No Exchange Contacts

No luck with contacts synching with Exchange. Replaced calendar with Touch Calendar, which I prefer anyway. Contacts were working on 2.01 with exchange.
[G Tablet General] noob4eva:
Help, installing 2.00 fails.

I am trying to flash 2.00 zip and it fails. I assume it fails because it goes all too fast and no OS loads when I reboot. I checked md5 of zip file, it matched. I did all the wipes and formatted internal sd card as 2GB+256MB swap. Repeated several times. Still no joy. Recovery log ends with this:

-----

ro.emmc=0

init.svc.recovery=running

init.svc.adbd=running

I:Checking for extendedcommand...

I:Skipping execution of extendedcommand, file not found...

-----

Can someone suggest me a further course of actions?
[G Tablet General] boostenmkiv:
Fully wiped everything then installed 2.0 and then immediately installed 2.1.1 and then booted tablet. Seems to be running quite fast but received one services FC and market is listing "No matching content in Android Market.

Will continue to test....but should I have let the tablet boot and then went back to CWM to do the 2.1.1 later?

EDIT. Restored Market from Titanium Backup and apps are populating now, but appears some are missing...for instance..Angry Birds
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Once I fix Bluetooth, I will never touch these Gapps again. Never ever never ever. :)

I have eliminated everything EXCEPT Gapps. They are next.
[G Tablet General] mike0miller:
Thanks for the fix of Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk. That was the one major annoying thing about TNT Lite. and thanks a bunch to roebeet for ALL the hard work. Wow!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Getting closer on Bluetooth - I will fix this and a 2.1.2 will come

I have it pinned down to 24 apks, all of them from the dreaded GAPPS changes. One (or more) of these is killing Bluetooth.

Incredible work you've done here roe-

Anybody able to get Google voice to work with this rom. I can't get past the voicemail settings. When I hit skip the app hangs.
[G Tablet General] cesman:
I initially had an issue w/ my BT GPS receiver. After a reboot, it FC'd then it just worked! I'm happy to help test should you need it.
[G Tablet General] The Ringmaster:
Just wanted to chime in that I just got my gtablet yesterday and flashed it with cwm and tnt 2.00/2.04. Great work Roebeet! I'll probably hold off on 2.11 until the issues are resolved.

Man this thread is really popular
[G Tablet General] WillieBH:
Great work

Gtab works great with new update. Used alternate thread to change to stock settings, added new keyboard, then rolled back, which fixed FC on settings closed. Perfect ROM now. Thanks to all that contributed.
[G Tablet General] samielowe:
Crap!

Should have left good enough alone!

Everything was pretty stable and upgrades to 2.04 and everything went sideways!

FC's all over the friggin place...

Now I dont know where to start... Go back to the original ROM and start all over!

Wiped all my programs that took a week to install and fix, and now I'm back to square one...
[G Tablet General] samielowe:
Went to 2.04 and was stable for about 5 hours and once rebooted it became a nightmare!
[G Tablet General] pogul:
Clarification on first time install

Quick question: I'm starting from scratch - basically pulling the gTab out of the box for the first time - do I need to flash 2.0.0 FIRST and then flash 2.1.1 on top of that?

OR - can I just jump right in and go from stock tnt to tntlite 2.1.1?

Thanks for the help and THANKS roebeet for making this one helluva tablet! :cool:
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Exchange sync OK

I've got Exchange sync of contacts and calendars working just ine with the 2.1.1 update. The first sync took some time (and maybe a reboot) after I configured my settings, but it is working.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
2.0 first

You have to start with 2.0.0, the 2.1.1 package is an "add-on". Well, unless you use the nv installer for "advanced" users I guess.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
nvflash took a backseat, for the moment. Once I pin down the BT issue and create yet another supplement :facepalm: that will be next.

Getting real close - it's definitely something in gapps v2 - I'm surprised no one noticed this before with v2 Gapps and BT.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Hang in there man, you've done an amazing job so far! This thing really shines with 2.1.1!
[G Tablet General] rushless:
So if we are using 2.04 (2.0 with an add-on) we have to still install 2.0 and then 2.11 (why not clear cache and data on 2.04 and then install 2.11?)? Rather than go through all of that, I will wait to see what Roebeet fixes and then go through the motions, rather than rinse & repeat again. 2.04 is stable and wifi tether works great. Will not rock the boat until sure the boat I am jumping in is stable :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If I can fix this, I'm debating a 2.20 that's a full update, no more supplement

The changes are getting very out of hand, so I might have to consolidate on the next update. Especialy given that I might be pulling out stuff to fix BT.

I don't like doing this because it's bad enough to ask people to wipe their data, but this last update really broke the bank I think.
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
Dont get discouraged Roebeet...Your doing 100000000000 times better then ViewSonic. I look forward to login after a long day at work and see whats new.

Keep your head up. Like others have said, Im waiting for you to release the "final" everythings-working one lol. But I do think its great that your releasing them along the way for those who enjoy testing / beta.

If you have a paypal account for hard-work beer funds, then pass it along to us!
[G Tablet General] katmandu421:
No worries, man. Wiping data is standard practice for most ROM heads like ourselves. It's just part of being on the bleeding edge.

Titanium backup is the best couple of bucks I've spent on my mobile devices.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Going to take a little more time with 2.2.0 (yeah, it's going to be 2.2.0 and definitely a FULL update). Want to test everything I can think of, before I release.

Real close on the BT issue, pinned down to a few apks in Gapps v2.
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
Sooo looking forward to it. Once you get it nailed down, you should sell it to ViewSonic bwahahah
[G Tablet General] samielowe:
roebeet, you have to break a couple of eggs to make an omelet.... You have kept hundreds of people from returning a pretty much useless tablet.

Thank you for everything you have done. It is very much appreciated.....

I'm in a holding pattern on 2.0 until we get a stable 2.x.x update....

Keep us posted and THANK YOU...

Sammie
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Questions please:

1. Since I already have 2.04, can I clear cache and data and then install 2.11, or do I first have to install 2.0 again?

2. Since I could care less about the Gapp pack, does this mean BT is not broken, since not installing that pack anyway?

3. How long until 2.2, Roeby? If within a few days, I may just hang with 2.04, since it is stable for me and wifi tether working fine.

If I have to start from scratch, I just assume do it with a mega 2.2 update and not go through the motions again, just for a few days :)

samielowe,

2.04 has been VERY stable for me after many app installs and several reboots. Did you install Gapps? I have not and wonder if Gapps is a common denominator for issues.

In fact, 2.04 is so stable, I will refrain from updates until Roeby does 2.2 and the mine field has been cleared :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It'll be 1-2 days, I'm sure. The first user is ME, so I am very motivated to get it working. I use my device every day, believe it or not.
[G Tablet General] P_6:
Quick question roe... I had 2.11 then installed Gapps on top of that. Borked a few things. What's the best way to get back to a clean 2.11 install?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Don

You're taunting me, aren't you? :eek:

Gapps v2 is the devil. Just wipe and go back to 2.0.0 + 2.1.1, or wait for 2.2.0. What I can tell you is that Gapps may be crippled in 2.2.0, as stability is of primary importance.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
Newb qwestion here, how do "wipe"?
[G Tablet General] rob_z11:
is this Android Market is different then one you find on your Sprint EVO? I can't seems to find apps such as Evernote or other popular apps you have on the Android Market.

I am running TNT Lite 2.0.0 with the supplement pack on top of the CWM.
[G Tablet General] bond007taz:
thanks for your work - I loaded 2.0.4 and I am happy!
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Looks like maybe the Settings FCs are only happening when you go to menus that are three deep (like Running Applications).

I reinstalled 2.0 (wiping cache and user data), booted but didn't set up my accounts, then installed 2.11 (with another data wipe in-between). So far so good, other than the fcs mentioned above. Haven't tried the Bluetooth headphones I had working a few days ago. Have reinstalled all my apps, mostly via Titanium.
[G Tablet General] Spectredroid:
Hello roebeet. I actually usually don't say much on this forum. I wanted to say though that your work on this rom is remarkable. It makes the gtablet worth having. I got one solely based upon what I had seen you doing with it. Great is not even the correct way to put it. Your work is stellar and just know that I and many others have you to thank for making this tablet function not just correctly, but brilliantly. Thank you sir very much indeed.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
+1

I've been very happy using my Gtab with every version TnT-Lite. :)
[G Tablet General] Marine6680:
Getting the settings FC here as well.
[G Tablet General] digitalman2112:
I'm having this same problem. I can flash CM6 zip files, but suddenly it ends quickly on the TNT2.0 zip. I tried redownloading - did not help.

I can restore nandroid backups, but can't update TnT Lite now :(
[G Tablet General] foreverknight:
Please help

What hardware changes do I have to make to get this to work. I am running the clockworkmod and cant seem to be able to get tne TnT lite to work. I have tryed 2 verisons 1.3 and 2.0.4. Can you please help
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Those are supplement use 2.0.0 then updated to. 2.1.1:D
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
My contacts still aren't synching. Did you setup your Exchange account first or Gmail? Not sure if the order matters or not, but I did Gmail first for market, then added my Exchange account.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I am way back on 2.00 but every time to get sync working (even ongoing, not just the first time) I have to go into contacts and turn on and off the sych icon for both calendar and contacts a few times. It does not seem to update automatically with running my email exchange refresh as it is supposed to. Not a big deal for me to do it once or twice a day.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
gmail first

Yes I setup my regular Google Gmail account first and did the market stuff plus titanium backup to restore all my old apps. And then i added an exchange account through the people app. Mine is setup to sync contacts and calendars only cause I don't need work, email here (so i customized the sync settings) After that I did not see it sync right away but after my next reboot I saw it worked.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
a fix is required

The market is crippled out of the box. First post on this thread points to instructions for fixing it.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
For all that can't install tnt lite 2.00

I believe the problem with most people installing tnt 2 is that they download the zip and try to install that...

NO

YOU MUST extract that folder and use the UPDATE zip inside that zip

Download tnt->extract to /sdcard->that will place update zip and a recovery file in your sdcard folder...

if your on clockwork I believe you don't need the recovery file

If you decide to extract tnt 2 to its folder then you can just take the update out that folder and place it in the sdcard

This goes for tnt lite 2.00 and ALL supplements
[G Tablet General] digitalman2112:
Thanks, you are correct this does work (whew) - I had been using the "install zip from sdcard" function - perhaps this only works for certain types of updates.

Thanks again!
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I have this as well. I went from TnTL 2.0.2 to 2.1.1 wiped user.

I ALWAYS saw screen glitches when opening or switching back to Dolphin HD, and a little black rectangular area in Market(left side green bar top). The Dolphin glitches were line solid or broken and went away usually with screen refresh.

My batt life with 2.1.1 seems to be MUCH lower, but I can't be entirely certain that it's 2.1.1 as I've never run my batt that low before, so it could be a batt meter glitch from the original. In my earlier experiences it would stay at 100% for some time and then slowly start dropping off.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Battery life was lower using 2.03, so since 2.1 has the same improvements with Q scores, my guess is probably eating more battery, since the extra zip may come at a price of more battery. Then again, if there is a sleep issue or something else causing power drain, maybe 2400 scores are normal and power should not drain quicker.... Who really knows?

Looking forward to 2.2, since perhaps same 2400 and above Q scores, but hoping none of the current issues with 2.11 :)

For now, 2.04's stability for me and fine wifi tether will cover me until the dust settles with 2.2.

Roeby, how about give your rom package a name: Roebo Rom :)
[G Tablet General] Canadoc:
Not sure if anyone else has noticed but batterylife seems much worse on the 2.11 update. I think the added performance does at a cost perhaps. I would hope it is not the case. I suspect the faster speed is going all the time even when idle or standby.

Any way to check?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I appreciate all the comments, btw

I don't always respond to them, but I do read them.

Primarily the build is for myself, but I do like to hear that it's being used and that it makes the device better for you. And I appreciate the testing / bug finders as there are things I might forget to test, like Bluetooth.

2.2.0 is going to be a revamp, as mentioned - too many supplements so it's back to square one. I have a prototype and so far so good, with only the Gapps affected (less functionality - sorry but i'm adamant on that one. Gapps is just causing me too much grief. You'll have the Market, sync with Contacts and Calendar and Gmail. But no extras).
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
I'm having luck with 2.1.1 for the most part except when I woke up today I've found that the screen is not nearly as responsive. In fact I'm having to tap several times just to get it to pick up my actions. I've tried a few reboots but that hasn't helped.
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
roe count me as one that is pleased with whatever you offer and the basic Gapps is fine with me. You're doing amazing work and I can't thank you enough.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Sounds good to me :)
[G Tablet General] paulg1974:
I just want to say thank you to RoeBeet and the rest of the Android/Gtab community for all of their time and effort in making this tablet somthing great. My 12 year old daughter had her heart set on a Tablet but I couldnt find one that was affordable and was worth purchasing. Of course the GTab had the HW specs but not the software to go with it, but now because of RoeBeet and TnT lite 2.1.1 the GTab is fantastic and will make an awesome Christmas gift!!

As for the MOD process- SIMPLE! no issues and no complaints. The Gtab is fast and does 99% of what I want it to do. I still need to find the right app for Video Chat. I dont live with my daughter (divorced) and was hoping to Video Chat with her using the Gtab and me using my Samsung Epic.

T H A N K Y O U!
[G Tablet General] Don Lettrich:
Yahoo! Messenger now has video chat. I copied it off of my EVO with Titanium Backup and then restored onto the Gpad...works OK, but only in portrait mode (rotation button doesn't work).
