Good catch, I was trying to figure out why it wasn't working the usual way. I manually pointed to it but didn't catch why.

Thank you very much all of you for making this way better than it was out of the box.

Hey Viewsonic if you want to know what we'd like to see in g Tablet 2.

1) Better viewing angles on the screen.

2)1 GIG RAM

3) 32 GIG SD

4) A hole in the back so we can reset the machine with a paperclip if needed.

For me I just love this device because you can tweak it so much. I've been building and repairing computers for 21+ years. So I love this thing!!!

Thank you all!!!!!

Just flashed 3.1.2 and it seems Torrance faster and smoother. Maybe another reboot helped. I remember when flashing custom ROM's with JIT (semi-Froyo) on my phone (Moment), they always said to reboot 5 times for the JIT to settle. Could be the same here? Anyways.

Linpack 36.97, Quadrant 2419. I did however notice Q skipped the CPU test all together (ran it 3x).

Just reporting ....
[G Tablet General] ZephyrsDream:
Thank you roebeet for an outstanding ROM. Got mine on Christmas and immediately installed TNT Lite after having followed this thread since early December.

Can't wait to see what else is in store.
[G Tablet General] joshua.lyon:
Thanks for the 3.1.2 supplement. The changes from 3.1.1 are minor, but welcomed. The Gallery accelerometer thing always threw people off when I would show them the tablet.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Ah! Thanks for the catch. I'm going to fix and re-upload now.

EDIT: Done. Thanks again.
[G Tablet General] dan1431:
Likewise, I love the GTab because I can tweak it and improve it without having to defeat the manufacturer in the process.

BTW, thanks again for all your hard work,

Dan
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Will there ever be support for other keyboards for this ROM?
[G Tablet General] Virtual Pariah:
I did the data wipe and installed 3.1.2.

I think this is the perfect tab right now. Everything is working well. There are no FC's as of yet.

This ROM should have been what VS shipped with. Thank you for making this a viable tablet.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Probably not - at least not withing pushing the apks via a tool like ADB.

The TnT devs should be able to fix this, I would think - their Settings app need to allow this.
[G Tablet General] TheTruth:
... seriously? I would expect that out of others here.. but you? We have a working market! I hope you use this to get apps you PAID for that do not show up in our market... stealing from developers is just bad form (and illegal).
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
lol, he's a developer. Robeet understands how difficult this work is. Even if he isn't paying for all the apps a developer needs testing software. If we have problems devs can use these apps to emulate our problems. Blackmarket is just one more tool in the arsenal. He's not distributing it in his roms.
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
A Little Discretion Please

@TheTruth

Ever heard of PM? You should have had a private converstation with Roebeet beforehand to understand exactly how he is using the app in question. Calling out someone publicly is an unsubstantiated attack, and I don't appreciate it. It is just wrong on many levels. Roebeet will probably feel the need to defend himself, and for what? Unless and until you have proof of anything other than genuine curiosity and testing of an app that thousands of people are using (which may affect his work product) you should keep this matter a private one. Get off your high horse and check the facts. Unprofessional and uncool. Maybe you have an axe to grind?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nah, it's fine. I was wondering if someone would actually notice what I was running. :)

I used to run Aptoide as well, and the BM app actually is used 90% of the time for free stuff that doesn't seem to show up with our market fix. But I have also installed a few things for testing - for example, someone might PM me about a paid app that doesn't run, and then I run the BM app to test that app myself. So, in that respect, in comes in handy - I'm testing the app, not actually using it. I also have one game on there which I only use for testing the 90 degree issue - it gets run on every firmware update to check, then gets promptly turned down.

I do have one issue with paid apps that I am still waiting on Google to fix, which is the lack of a PayPal option. I have a few apps right now that I've purchased outside of the Market, but nothing in the Market (yet).

Wallpaper Issues

I am among the many that received my G tab for Christmas, but have been following this forum for about a month. With all of the fixes to the stock interface I gave it a shot for a couple of hours. I found the interface much improved over the previous G tabs I had played with. I decided it was time to load TNT lite, and it could not have been easier. Without issue I loaded Clockworkmod, repartitioned to 2048/0, installed TNT lite 3.1, TNT lite 3.1.1, and then TNT lite 3.1.2 this morning. I just wanted to +1 what most people have been saying about the excellent quality of the TNT lite build. It is running awesome. I have not had any slow down issues despite the tablet going to sleep about a dozen times. I am running a live wallpaper as well. I probably just cursed myself, but hopefully not.

I do have a couple of question about wallpaper. I tried to search the tnt lite thread, but it did not turn up much. When TNT lite was first loaded there were 2 things I liked about the home screen. 1. The bar at the top was transparent, and 2. The graphics fit the screen properly. So, I decided to play around with changing wallpapers, and now I have lost the bar transparency, and any wallpaper I put on does not scale to fit the screen. It is almost like the graphic is being stretched to fit a much larger screen, and I am only seeing part of it. My gut tells me there is somewhere to set this, but I just can't find it. If anyone can help I would appreciate it.

Otherwise, this build kicks serious butt.

usb issue

switched to 3.1.2 from 2.4 and now my thumb drive doesnt show up as having any files. ES File explorer (I added it cause I like it better) will do a search of the usb drive for media and music but my folders dont show up. I have movies on a folder on the thumbdrive but cant get to it in 3.1.2

On 2.4 the file explorer showed me all the files and folders on the drive.

Is there another step needed when running 3.1.2?

Thanks

3.1.2 file copy

Please help with an elementary question. I've got my G-tablet running with TNT lite 3.1.0 And i have the full market working. However i dont understand how to add the 3.1.2 supplement. I downloaded the rar to my laptop and extracted the recovery folder and update.zip onto my laptop then tried to copy to my tablet with USB. The Recovery folder gave me the option to replace just the duplicated files but when i try to copy update.zip from the laptop to the tablet it wants to replace the entire 128mb file with the 8mb file. Pretty sure i dont want to do that. What should i do? Thanks for your patience.
[G Tablet General] brew1brew:
Actually that is what you want to do, the 128mb update.zip is the install file for 3.1 entire OS now the 3.1.2 file is just a supplement update, so just a few things were updated. I'm assuming you are using stock recovery method of updating and not clockworkmod. so just replace update.zip with the new smaller one and reboot into recovery and let it update your gtablet.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3.1.2 is a 3.1.0 update - more explanation on how that works

A quick understanding on how I've been versioning:

Major number (1.0.0 / 2.0.0 etc) is usually when the kernel AND TnT firmware has been updated. So three major revisions, so far. These are full updates.

Minor number (2.1.0 / 2.2.0 / 3.1.0 etc) is when there's a TnT or kernel update, but not both. These are also full updates.

Supplement (2.2.1 / 3.1.1 etc). A minor update that only requires a few file copies, so not a full update. It requires the minor version that precedes it - so 3.1.2 requires 3.1.0, 2.2.1 requires 2.2.0 etc). So far I haven't had more than a few supplements, so I haven't gotten to the magic #10 which would screw up my versioning. I guess I would have a 3.1.11 (?) if that happened.

Hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yes, you do want to do that. The update.zip and recovery folder get used once. After you installed whatever they were for you can delete them. The supplement installs the same way, it is just smaller and makes some changes to your existing install.

Edit: Man! I have to start reading the posts to the end before I reply!! I'm like a day short....
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Transparency works on the default launcher, but not on something like Launcher Pro (at least not with static wallpaper). As for stretching, I believe the "best" type of file is one that is at least 1024x600, and probably even longer is better (like 1920x600?). The new vanilla launcher actually has these long wallpapers embedded in them.

Just checked my FAT32 4GB thumb drive, and it works fine in 3.1.2. Try the default iFile just to see if the files show up - assuming they're there, it could be an issue with Estrongs, perhaps. I personally like Astro, myself - been using it since my Cruz Reader.

Music app "should" work, even on SDCARD2. You using the actual music app? And as for the unmount function, 100% agree - we should be unmounting cleanly, whenever possible.

Noob Question

This is probably a noob question, but I would like to know how I can get the android keyboard from the VEGAn build to TNT Lite? Is there file that I can download? Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you mean the Gingerbread kb, you'd need to make some changes to /system (adds, and I think deletes as well). I've avoided changing the TnT kb because their Settings app is locked down to keyboard changes.
[G Tablet General] Derek Williamson:
I got my first two android devices this Christmas, the VS GTablet and the HTC Mytouch 4g. I had no experiance with apps, rooting or flashing. Now thanks to all your help my Tablet is running TNTLite 3.1.2 with flash player and full market and doing it very well. Now if i could just get this Mytouch 4g rooted...
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
It is not NTFS. And the thumb drive was seen in 2.4

It recognized that I have a thumb drive but says there are no files in it. I try to search the drive but it does not see any folders in it. It is looking for apps it can open and music of videos. But on my drive they are on folders within. I'll put some on the root of the thumbdrive and see if it picks it up.

**to troubleshoot I reformatted the thumbdrive. It was FAT32 before but did it again. and put a movie and an mp3 on it. Still no go on 3.1.2

I went back to 2.4 and it works fine. It sees the drive and all the files on it. Strange. Any further advice would be appreciated. I like the screen transitions on 3.1.2 and the screen seems more sensitive to the touch but I can't figure this out. It is a 8gb thumbdrive. Nothing special that 2.4 see fine but 3.1.2 does not.

Slowness with 3.1.2

I decided to upgrade from 2.4.0 to 3.2.1, because of the battery drainage issue I was having when tablet not in use. I just notice it the last few days that if the tablet is not in sleep mode it would still drain the battery like crazy. After the upgrade I'm seeing some performance issue now... It seems like laggy and Quadrant score is 499!!!

This is what I did to upgrade from 2.4:

- Backup user apps with Titanium backup

- Installed CWM .8

- Wiped data

- Installed 3.1.0

- Installed 3.1.2

- Installed Titanium backup

- Restored user apps

I might try reinstalling again, and not restore my apps, but I want to know if anyone else seeing any performance issues?
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
I'm on 3.1.2 and had my first slow down today coming out of sleep. Quadrant was just over 500. Restart fixed it. I think it is a known issue that a number of people are looking into. I'm pretty sure the issue also exists in stock tnt.
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
I tried using the default launcher and selecting some of the default wallpapers. It seems like it is only displaying the upper left hand portion of the graphic, almost like it is stretching it. I could not get the transparency to work even with the default launcher unless I chose a live wallpaper. It sounds like there is no way to control this, so I have to live with it? I did load launcher pro just to see if I could get more control over these items, but no luck. I'm playing with Wallpaper Set and Save right now to see if it helps. I've read of others having similar issues with wallpapers. These are not huge issues. I can deal with them.
[G Tablet General] kwalter0104:
Change the name of one of them....this way it won't overwrite, then just apply the zip from the boot screen
[G Tablet General] cyclisto:
fwiw - I had the lag problem immediately after every rom install, even after clearing caches/reset. Worked great - quadrant scores 2400+ until sleep, then slow until restart - quadrant scores <600 I finally gave in and repartitioned the sd card (2048/0) and only installed quadrant and titanium. No slowdowns all day (relief). I installed about a half dozen of the usual programs I use, fingers crossed. Quadrant shows 2500+ every time (it never got over 2400 before the repartition).
[G Tablet General] bblackmoor:
1) Is there a how-to for this?

2) What is the default out-of-the-box partitioning?
[G Tablet General] anlog:
It absolutely affects stock. Confirmed today with stock build 3389 with no tegra performance drivers or gapps. Only stock w/ root and Clockwork. It's a kernel cpu scaling issue and can be reproduced on demand.

You will know the "slowdown" has occurred when your "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq" file lists 216000 (216MHz). It gets stuck there by some (yet to be determined) process at random intervals. A reboot is the fastest fix.

You can reproduce it by opening a terminal after a fresh reboot and running (minus the quotes for all commands) "su", and then running "echo 216000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq" - this will force your CPU to 216MHz, and you will immediately see the same slow interface, transitions, symptoms, etc. The funny thing is that you can set it right back to 1GHz by running the same command with "1000000" instead of "216000".

The "issue" is that after some period of time something forces it to 216MHz and it gets stuck there. I've been spending the last three days trying to figure out how to "unstick" it.

[G Tablet General] anlog:
2048/0 is fine. Apparently Android (or at least the GTab version) doesn't use swap. There is some speculation that 2048/256 is the default, but you might as well stick with 2048/0 and claim the extra space.

Lag-on-wake issue

The lag is definitely an issue with TnT-Stock-3389; see thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886550.

It seems not to affect older builds, i.e. 2.4 based on Stock-3053 (my second Tab is on 2.4 and I have not experienced it).

Hope VS (are you watching?) will issue a patch to the kernel really soon!

There is one fix, however: don't let the Tab go to sleep! Don't let it go out of your hands, use it at all times! Let it become an extension of you..... ;) LOL

Anyway... just sayin'
[G Tablet General] TheTruth:
and we can all chip in to buy the software he needs.... or bug the dev of the software to give out a copy to a dev like roebeet. But this is the only case where things are blurry and a dev using BM app is okay...

I never heard of the app until zpad released by roth, it was baked in there - then it was removed due to the fact it promotes piracy. And using as a dev tool is all fine and dandy... but why not email the dev and explain the need for a free copy in order to troubleshoot problems. Stealing is stealing.

As for a public attack... don't post on a PUBLIC FORUM that you use an app that primarily serves up pirated apps (which is robbing from developers, fyi); and, don't try to speak for other people - roebeet is a big boy and can speak for himself - if he wants to answer then he answers, if he doesn't want to give a response then he doesn't respond. No harm done.

Would I be on a high horse if I called someone out for racism? How is my disdain for software piracy construed as me being on a high horse? The law is the law; and, until all developers robbed by the makers and users of black market app say it is okay ppl steal the apps they worked hard on, and the govt in usa redefines intellectual property, I will continue to publicly point out when people use the piracy app... one of my close friend's has an app stolen by the black market app devs, the creators have still not removed her work - I'd file a cease order for her but I'm a college student and cannot afford the time to see it through.

However, if a person pays for an app and the device they want to use it on doesn't have the market or cannot see the app (or the dev is noncooperative and wont povide an alternate apk) then I can see how the black market app helps... but couldn't you as easily backup the app from your other Droid device and side load it (you'd have to have another since you originally paid for the app and had market)?

Anyway, the matter, to me, is resolved... roebeet is not a thief as he is not using the app to pirate software. However, if you feel he need to quarrel over whether or not software piracy is okay, then feel free to pm me so we can keep the thread on topic and devoid of such moot things. Software piracy is bad, mmmmm'k?

Cheers.

Edit:

btw, isn't it a little hypocritical to complain viewonic or similar violate GPL by not releasing source but in the same moment you violate Google TOS and many US laws by stealing software?

I'm very new to all of this, and I think it would be benificial to ask for a tutorial on how to install 3.1.2... like how to make sure you still have all your apps and such, and how to get rid of the lag, I'm really confused... please help a noob in need ;)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
There are tutorials already on this forum. How much time have you actually spent searching for the answers? The answers to most everything are already here. Use the search button and maybe put a little more effort into finding the answers rather than asking for someone to write another tutorial to tell you how to do what is already explained.

I'm really not seeing it on my (second) gTab running TnT-Lite-2.4!
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
For some reason I have been unable to load the 3.1.2 supplement twice now. This second try was after restoring all my programs and it wiped all my data clean this time. Still did not load. I checked the build prop file and it still does not show 3.1.2

When I run the recovery (from sdcard, not CWM as I do not have it installed) it says that the file unable to be opened.

Can I just side load the files from the system folder in the zip file and over write their counterparts (ie. build prop, new apks and the framework files?)

thanks

EDIT: Tried to sideload the 3d Gallery.apk but now it does not load and trying to open a picture it crashes estrong file explorer. I tried to run the supplement again and it says that it can not open sdcard/Update.zip

What am I missing here? I know this is not rocket science!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Hopefully we can halt this before the thread gets completely hijacked. I can see an argument brewing.

When that BlackMarket app was added to an early mod, a few people had actually asked me to drop it in TnT Lite (I had never heard of it, at the time). After realizing what it was, I made it clear that it would never find its way into any mod I created, nor any other commercial apps. Even something like SetCPU, if it had worked.

But I do have it on my own device. It's good as a reference tool for things like missing Market apps, and the occasional test for things that might be problematic. I never actually thought of emailing the developer for a test copy for apps I might test, but given that "trialware" apps seem to be non-existent and these developers don't know me from a hole in the head, I would expect the answer to be "go scratch". I've actually had some interesting conversations with a dev for an app I do own and how the Google Market operates (and he didn't say many nice things, I might add).

I'm really not a developer, and you shouldn't put me on a pedestal either - I could be running a torrent site, as far as you know (I'm not, don't worry). I actually have very strong opinions on piracy and copyright law and I could probably devour this thread with my opinions and arguments, but this is not the venue. Suffice it to say that, imo, if a developer makes a good app, he or she deserves to get paid for their effort and I would certainly support them. I've even supported "free" or "donate-ware" apps, if I find them useful. Calibre was a recent donation, for example, since I use it constantly.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Check that the update.zip inside the rar is not mispelled. I had a typo early on and had to re-upload it to fix it. I think that was last night, so if you had grabbed it earlier than that you might have the one with the typo.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Thanks bro....that makes me feel much better
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Perhaps, but not an explosion in observations of the issue until then newer kernel was applied. Simple for me, since it appears to be the 3D gallery app turning my G into a 500 Q score lagging mess. Reboot fixes it and so far, not using the 3G gallery app has stopped the lag. Something lower level appears to be causing it and triggered by certain apps- IMO, of course.

added:

I miss the simple and resource lighter 2D version of the app that Sense UI has. Shame it can not be side loaded, since needs Sense to work. IMO, 3D in this case is arbitrary and has nominal functional (if any) value for media.
