Downloading it now. I'm glad you left the Music player in.

Install and testing will commence.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks. To be honest, I never gave the Tnt media player much thought until now, since all my music is on /sdcard2. But now I was finally able to play around with it.
[G Tablet General] FateZero:
running a backup and installing I cant wait to try this
[G Tablet General] birchs:
I got the "I'm feeling lucky" error right off the bat. But, I did not do a wipe.
[G Tablet General] anlog:
Any way to lock the screen with this new build? If not, how long before the changes are merged into vegan?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, I wiped right away. If you have clockworkmod, you can try "Fix Permissions" if you don't want to wipe it. It's probably the Gapps changes.

It's probably a TnT devs decision not to add it (makes sense, given their homescreen). As for integrating into VEGAn, gojimi was looking into that, mainly the sdcard2 stuff. I'm still going to concentrate on TnT Lite 3 until I release it.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Found a bug in 3.0 beta 5 (EDIT : No, it's fine)

I know this was working on my first beta (I'm up to beta 5) so I must have messed something up along the way. I'm looking into it.

EDIT: No, it's A-OK. I just had to reboot. Stupid me.
[G Tablet General] birchs:
No worries, I'll wipe eventually anyway. The fix permissions did work though! No error once I rebooted after running that in clockwork.

Also, I had my market working pre-update but now it is back to the limited market. I'll see if the Titanium fix works once that is back up.

UPDATE: the Titanium fix for the market works. I got an error going back into it after the reboot step but I got distracted playing with other stuff and decided to try again prior to another reboot and it is good to go. I'm coming from 2.4 and this feels as fast as that if not faster.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
Thanks for adding in the adobe flash in the rom. These updates are getting better all

the time. Looking forward o future builds.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
I'm going to put this into my FAQ as well. Good info!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Found an Angry Birds (Seasons) bug in TNT Lite 3.0.0 beta 5

I suspect stock would be affected, as well. They dropped the .so file into /lib, which works fine for Angry Birds. But it breaks Angry Birds Seasons.

I'm going to pull Angry Birds out of TnT Lite 3.0.0, to fix this. The TnT devs weren't thinking three steps ahead, and they obviously aren't addicted to AB like I am. :D
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I got this error after I used the clockwork to backup.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Thanks for the heads up! I will wait until AB has been removed, so I have that and Seasons working (with the cheat too of course).

Seems safer just to wipe cache and data, since not as straight forward as installing over another similar package.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

Quick feedback on TnT Lite beta 3.0 testing.

-- Installed clean (no issues). I did do a wipe/clean prior to installing the update.

-- Applications installed clean from Titanium backup

-- Successfully installed Full Market fix

-- Google apps all work properly (contacts, message syncs, etc.)

-- Music player was able to see/played my MP3s on the microSD card. At restart, the SD card is scanned for media.

-- Have approx. 40 apps installed. Tested common apps such as Angry Birds, Pandora, Kindle, RockPlayer, YouTube, etc. All work fine.

-- Ran videos from my microSD card, ESPN3 and YouTube. All were fine. Flash version included in the custom rom works fine.

-- Quadrant speed was 2499

-- GPS sharing in use with Google Maps, Yelp, etc. were fine.

-- Games: Jewel, Pocket Racing Lite, Raging Thunder Lite, Radiant Lite were fine, except

Issue: Angry Birds Seasons does not start. I even tried to uninstall and reinstall from stratch. No go.

Response does seem a bit slower than Tnt Lite 2.4.

I'll continue to test more tomorrow.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Great feedback, thanks! I found the root cause of ABS and it's actually because the TnT devs put AB into /system. The "fix" is to pull out that change, which I plan to do when I release this. We'll just install AB as a user app, like we've done in the past.

I think it's a tad slower as well, but I suppose that having sdcard2 working with media apps at least compensates for that.
[G Tablet General] the.main.man:
Not ready for 3 yet....tried going from 2.0 to 2.4 last night. Using SDcard2. When i reboot into recovery it see the update file but i get a triangle and it reboots back into the normal TNT.....?
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Hmmm trying to leave my stepdad's as stock as possible (its wrapped up now but on christmas eve i'll ask to do a quick fix on it.)

Would it be ok to use root explorer to delete the AB .apk file then reinstall from market? so seasons will run?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Delete two files - /system/lib/libangrybirds.so and /system/app/AngryBirds.apk. I think it's the first file that's causing the actual issue, but you might have to delete both to actually eradicate AB completely from /system. I am removing both these files from TnTL 3.00 and so far reinstalling fromt he market works, and ABS works. Yesterday's level was a damn tough one.

Triangle is normal recovery - it's not finding either your command file, or its not finding the update.zip that the command file is pointing to. Did you edit the command file to point to SDCARD2?
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
Hey roebeet. Like the help you gave people trying to review the Tab. I'm going to play with 2.4 and see how much better it runs then vegan. Once its stable thinking of contacting viewsonic and suggesting your tnt lite be they next update for consumers. Maybe then people will stop crapping all over this thing.
[G Tablet General] Skempo:
Hey dragonstalker, when you contact VS make sure to mention that there should be some compensation for roebeet for all of his efforts.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
Copy that! His stuff is great.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I got a 2313 on quadrant with 2.4. Have you benchmarked 3.0?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's usually ~2400 for me (sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more). It seems to be in the same area of what 2.4 was for me.

I think I just fixed some of the "glitchiness" of the performance pack. that's going into 3.0.0 final, now.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Sweet, thanks so much!
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
Roebeet. Running 2.4 now. Pretty smooth. Def better then the 2.2 I had at first. Send link to 3.0 and ill flash that while I'm playing. And is there a way to take the status bar down a bit. Maybe 1 line instead of 2?
[G Tablet General] deependh200:
hulu?

Has anyone been able to make hulu work on any of the recent builds? I'm running 2.2 lite installed right over stock and everything else works well enough, thanks to everyone who contributes.
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
I tried the mytouch methodto get hulu to work, but no joy. But now thinking I don't have adobe air loaded on this. When roebeet sends link for 3.0 ill install air and try again. By end of week ill figure something outfor hulu if its possible.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Beta 5 is a few pages back, but here it is again:

http://www.mediafire.com/?6jf6wojv899dz8m

Going to release this in a few hours. Just doing some more testing with beta 6, which I didn't release - AB is gone, and I think some of the screen flickering is now fixed. I'm also wondering if TnT is going to re-release their firmware for Flash, but I cant wait on them.
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
Last update I saw was tnt with flash was going to ota yesterday. Ill check the tnt site, see what I can find out.

Update: emailed tnt. Hopefully they will email me back!
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
Roebeet...you think that you and the guys will ever fuse vegan and tntlite into one rom to have the benefits of both?
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
now that would be something. hopefully that will happen one day.
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
Actually guys vegan is pretty much stock android with VS drivers. Tnt lite is the tapntap baseline without the complete Ui. Essentially other then a few tweaks and eyecandy tnt is vegan and tnt lite together.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
not really i like vegan because of certain things like lockscreen and what not but I like some of the tnt apps and those apps only work with tnt atm
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
I've noticed some people are having minor problems (i.e. battery meter not moving, market not fixing) This is do to incorrect loads. Remember to follow these steps.

Boot to Recovery.

"Backup if you do not have a good backup already!"

Scroll mounts and storage.

Mount system

Mount data

Back out.

wipe data/factory reset (sdcard will mount by itself during this process)

wipe cache partition. (clears out previous battery and settings)

Install new rom.

Remember to mount system and data before you wipe or you may get an error, and won't completely wipe.

P.S. The new market runs great (other then cutting the stars off) I applied the market fix using root explorer.
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
LRiley ,

Like i said. you have vegan stuff here but not the lock screen. Thats a stock android feature like you would find on the Samsung Galaxy. When you install TNT Lite over it, you lose the stock. and you now have an overlying UI. Why you have apps that work here but not in Vegan. Because of the TNT UI.
[G Tablet General] LRiley:
...thats exactly why I said fuse for benefits of both...
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
Has anyone tried installling something like Widgetlocker to add a lockscreen? Or is there something in TNT that will prevent this from working?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Is there any way to fix the battery meter without wiping? My current Vegan b3 is running pretty good. I have already charged it fully and the reset the battery stats while plugged in (mentioned as a possible fix by someone else) but it didn't work.

Side note, the XDA app FC's constantly, anyone else?
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
That i don't know. Try just wiping cache and starting from there.

As far as XDA app not working. I know you've already uninstalled and installed, so try using ADB to completely wipe it from your tab (not sure the path i would have to look) or use root explorer to search for it. And redownload/install from market.

xda app:

/data/app/com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity-1.apk

/data/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.quoord.tapatalkxda,activity-1.apk@classes.dex

/data/data/com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity

Should be it. /data/data/com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity is the directory where the xda app cache and settings are stored.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I am holding the TnT 3.0.0 final, for now

I was about to release it, but with all the VS chatter going on I want to give it a few more hours to see how it plays out. If we have a new update coming, then what I have would already be obsolete.

What a rush! Feels like my real job before a major deadline! Cats and Dogs, living in harmony... mass hysteria!
[G Tablet General] mikegscott:
Loaded TnT3.0.0b5 over 2.4.0, only ran 'Advanced-> Fix Permissions' have have no major problem. Having to reinstall AB I don't consider a problem. The beta works pretty well in the 2-3hrs I've used it on my surplus gtablet.
[G Tablet General] acooper:
Just saw this posting on Twitter regarding G-Tab.

ViewSonic ViewSonic Corp

"We will get s/w update out ASAP. We're also releasing the kernel this week. The gTablet should NEVER have been pulled."
[G Tablet General] rabig:
My gTablet will not boot into recovery. If i hold the Vol Up and the start button I get the black strip followed by another (trying to start in recovery) and then it gives a triangle with an White exclamation mark on it.

Then it boots up normal.

Can the above be side loaded? If so are there any instructions on how to either fix this recovery boot problem and/or how to side laod...2.4.0??

Thanks

WiFi issues when returning from sleep.

I bought a GTab over the weekend and loaded TNTLite 2.4.0 last night. I noticed when the tablet returns from sleep the wifi will get stuck in a loop of connecting and dropping the wireless router. The only way to get it to properly connect is to reboot the tab. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Eric
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This is fairly common -- I have two suggestions. Either change the WiFi policy (in advanced) to "Never sleep" so that the Wifi is always on, or just use a widget to turn the Wifi off if you plan on putting it to sleep for long periods.

Adding a never sleeping Wifi will suck battery life, keep in mind.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
EDIT: nevermind this post, just saw the tweet from VS. hooray for kernel!

so there's gonna be another official update from vs? weird especially how sears and office depot have pulled it from shelves. wonder if its like their last push before the end of the line for the gtab, get everything out before its officially discontinued kinda thing.
[G Tablet General] JoeMofknDot:
I have notice only two issues in about a half a day of use of tnt3.0 I was using veganb3 before this rom and I have a few videos downloaded from the web on the internal SD and a few of the videos wont play at all also noticed the market wont find TV.com not really a loss because the stock browser lets me log on and watch TV I haven't had a chance to see if the tablet will recognize all of the videos in it but I will update when I get a chance to test other than those couple of things it seems to be a smooth rom. Oh also can't find BLUETOOTHGPS in market but not a problem since I was able to load from root explorer
[G Tablet General] the.main.man:
no. I did notice though the when the recovery folder from the .zip file is extracted there is a commnad file in there. Once it fails the file is gone. I will try again when i get back to the office :)
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

You and me both.

Since I was one of the initial testers for TnT 3.0 beta 5, if VS does release something later today, and you decide to hold off on releasing TnT Lite 3.0, can you send me the link to beta 6? I'd like to have the updated work you did on the performance pack to reduce the amount of flickering.

I saw the posts on how to remove Angry Birds from the system directories. I really hope I didn't lose my data... I deleted the two files (the shared library and the apk) before I realized that Titanium Backup crossed out my backed up version of Angry Birds. Last night, I installed the data only option to bring it back to where I left off. I'm hoping when I install the APK from the market, it will know my data is already there. Since I'm at work, I have to wait until I get home. If you know where the data is stored, let me know so that I can back it up before I install the APK.

Thanks!!!

UPDATE: I found the data directory for Angry Birds. I saved it off. Hopefully, it will properly replace my settings after I reinstall the .apk.

UPDATE #2: I am back in business with Angry Birds. Both Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons are working and data is restored.

Viewsonic Twitter

Not sure if anyone else has been watching the viewsonic twitter page, but I just noticed a "Thanx to the XDA community for your support" tweat. It seems that enough people have mentioned XDA for them to acknowledge the efforts. Nice work! It kinda seems like Viewsonic is all of a sudden really trying to fix the software. I hope it is not too little too late.

I'm not waiting any longer for Viewsonic. Not sure what's going on over there, but I have to assume that it's not going to be worked out, tonight.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
Most likely the people that are working on the VS software aren't going

to have a good holiday. Their missing target dates ... like flash support and

An TnT lite and Vegan roms are performing better then the one that

Office Depot and Sears have not pulled the product. Why state conjecture as fact? Are you one of them-there iPad, using folks ;) :)
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
It broke my heart to leave VEGAn and come back to TNTLite, but I need a completely stable rom as I'm giving this tablet to my father. I liked TNTLite when I had it installed before, but VEGAn was great, although the freezes really concerned me.

I haven't been following the development of TNTLite for awhile; am I correct to assume that it is more stable (less prone to problems) than VEGAn?
[G Tablet General] dragonstalker:
Both have their issues, but with the TNT overlay UI it kinda covers up some of the stock Android stuff that is being tested on Vegan. It's a developers Rom. TNT is more for users.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think that VEGAn rivals the stability of TnT Lite, now. I just dropped a prototype of beta 4, but I borked the camera (my bad). In a few days, we should have a released beta 4.

TnT Lite is becoming more of a niche product. Close to stock, but with some add-ons to add to the user experience. VEGAn will ride off that and expand on that, further.
[G Tablet General] Moonwizard:
3.0.0b5 Working....

New to the community here. Thanks for all the GREAT work! Applied my 3.0.0b5 over 2.4 using the suggestion above. Same results!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Keep in mind that 3.0.0 beta 5 causes Angry Birds Seasons to fail (this is an issue with stock). I fixed that in the final release by removing AB from /system.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
First off, I really appreciate the work you've put in on the G-Tablet. You, and the other devs, have done a LOT to sell G-Tablets. I know I purchased one only AFTER watching a video on YouTube of your ROM. I hope Viewsonic can at least send the three of you a dev unit, as this product (and their future tablets) will have a MUCH better reputation with early adopters if there's a buzz on XDA.

I've loaded 3.0 of Lite just now, and the install *seems* to have gone okay; currently restoring from TB. I'll keep patching this sucker with updates until Dec 27th when I have to come home leaving the tablet with my dad; I'll keep him updated every time I go visit.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks for the kudos. This really is a great forum and you all make it so much easier to do these mods. I mean that sincerely.
[G Tablet General] SofaKingWeird:
OMG! I love the TnT Lite 3.0.0 ROM. This is the way the ViewSonic g Tablet should have worked out of the box. This does everything I want it to now, Thank you all for your hard work. Maybe VS should hire a team as talented as you all are. :-D
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Any key benefits 3.0 has over 2.4? I could not tell with the first page info, since kind of bleeds into previous updates.

Driver updates or better USB host behavior or microsd?

Keyboards can be added now?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I added a small changelog. The new TnT update adds the ability for media apps to see SDCARD2. Their content is probably being scanned to whatever database these apps use. I also noticed that my microSD takes a little longer to load up on boot, but that's probably since it's being scanned. I also finally figured out how to add Flash on a clean system, and the Tegra drivers are a bit improved.

I also added some post 2.4.0 stuff like the new Market, Maps, TSCalibration hack etc. It's a major revision because of the new kernel, new TnT and the SDCARD2 scanning. TnT stock still had no way to add keyboards, no USB mouse support and no way to mount SDCARD2 to your PC, so TnT Lite still reflects those issues.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
Sorry for this dumbass post, but I just noticed something I never noticed before. I installed this rom without a problem, and did the market fix. I got the market, but when I searched for tv.com and angry birds---nothing. So I remember to check my build.prop file, and sure enough I needed to edit it (as per the other thread here). I did that, and ran the market fix again. Still no joy.

Then it occurs to me that I hadn't installed Flash yet. So I install Flash. Sure enough, Angry Birds and TV.com now both show up when I search for them, plus the new market has the Flash "coverflow" of apps.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Interesting about coverflow, I hadn't realized that it needed Flash, but that makes sense.

You should have gotten Flash on a clean install - it's one of the things I tested (repeatedly). Maybe I should make a "YMMV" note to that. :eek:
[G Tablet General] poorlycoded:
Running TnTLite 3.0.0 now, and the WiFi seems to have a MUCH better connection. Previously, where I am sitting now would take about 5 mins to properly negotiate.

Only thing I would ask is a settings.apk that also included the functionality for entering username/password for WPA2/Enterprise for the WiFi. Mine works, but I had to replace the setting app, which got re-replaced when the upgrade to 3.0.0 was made.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
To be fair, I didn't test Flash out in a browser, however I did check the market out a few times and the coverflow was not there before I installed Flash. Also, I did a 100% clean user/data/cache wipe...twice (both before installing the rom and after). Maybe that affected something. I'm curious if others noticed something similar. There's a blurb in the OP about wiping user data after flashing the rom I think (which is why I did it).
[G Tablet General] jaw6fl:
3.0 updated from 2.4. Works like a champ. Thanks!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Replacing the Settings apk breaks the brightness tab, and it messes up the ability to add new widgets. It's something I'd love to change, but so far I haven't been able to rip it out.

That's exactly how I tested, but granted I did this in clockworkmod. Maybe standard recovery (if that's what you used) has different results. I tested a user data wipe at least three times until I was satisfied that it was working. Oh well.
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
Great job roebeet! TnT Lite works wonderfully and your hard work shows!
[G Tablet General] mb2k:
All's good. Wasn't aware of the new market issue.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Known issue which I added to the Caveats section. It's the same exact file I'm using on the VEGAn build, which does not have this issue. I'm convinced it's something in the TnT Framework.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
It is the new socialist market, where everything is equal and no winners or losers ;)

Seriously though (I fell sick now), that is a problem with the new market and TnT. I would prefer the old market with stars intact, but it is what it is.

Roeby, any practical way to correct this? Anyway to patch with the oldschool all stars market? :)

BTW, does the new rom source update and index files, or does it scan the microsd card a loooong time always? I have a 32gb loaded up. Yikes.
[G Tablet General] myndwire:
yeah, i'd love to go back to the original market apk -- it actually worked perfectly.

edit: actually, yeah... all but *2* apps are missing from the newer market vending.apk.. can we get the old one posted up from 2.4? that'd be awesome :D
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
I used CW .8....who knows...gremlins in the mix I suppose.

So far the ROM is very stable. I was able to easily load all my stuff from my Titanium Backup. People really should purchase that app--the paid version is MUCH faster than the free one.

Quadrant score = 2374 and Multi Vis test was also solid. Boot time seems a bit slower; I'm guessing because of the calibration.ini that's now run(?)

I moved my music over to SD2, but nothing seems to read it. How do you get that working?
[G Tablet General] original G:
Got 3.0 installed and all is good. Thanks again!
