went from 2.4 to 3.0 and now everytime i try to install an app it tells me "sorry, there's not enough space to install this item"

i've tried the usual market fix, fixing permissions, data wipes, etc... any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Besides the star issue on the market (not a biggy in the grand scheme), one thing that does kill me is the scanning sd card. It is STILL scanning after almost an hour. Yes, it is 32gb and near full, but no such issues with Droid, Droid X or Incredible.

Something seems wrong in the scanning method, but perhaps first time is the long one? If not, I may be bailing back to 2.4.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
Found what appears to be a glitch. Once I set my default launcher (in my case ADW) I am no longer able to change it to anything else. I first tried using "Home Switcher for Froyo), then tried the old version that came pre-installed on the tab...no joy. Installed "Launcher Switcher" and it FCs whenever you try to remove my current default. I also tried stopping "launcher" in systems/applications....nothing.

I should add that the switcher applications do allow me to change the launcher; the problem is resetting the

default

.
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
It only happen twice .. when playing some mp3s the sound cracked and

the music player crashed. I then tried to reload the music app ... this

happened when I was increasing the volume. Also, after the crash the

music app wasn't able to read data from the sdcard2 micro-sd card.
[G Tablet General] da-slicksta:
I am also getting the message..."sorry, there's not enough space to install this item" when i try to download from the marketplace
[G Tablet General] mb2k:
Wow, GB just as u were posting that, my player skipped for a few seconds. Using subsonic
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
Okay, here's the skinny on getting your music/media app to see SD2...reboot the device and let it sit for about 5 minutes. You'll see a notification in the task bar which alerts you to the SD Card being scanned....just let it finish. Lord I hope that's a 1 shot deal and it doesn't take that long to find new media every time! But it does work...tested with the TnT music app, and more importantly, with MixZing and WinAmp.

Home Switcher for Froyo is still a problem, though.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I have never been able to get the Home Switcher thing to work. Just like you say, it will change but not stick. You can go into settings, applications, and find the launcher you are using and clear the data. Then when you hit the home button it should ask which one you want again.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Used to have that problem with an older TnT Lite. If you get rid of defaults for the current one in app manager you should be able to select another one.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

TnT Lite 3.0 is much more responsive to the touch over beta 5. No issues to report after 2 hours of use.

Another steller job!!! Thank You!!!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Takes a looonngggg time - I have a 32GB card with a lot of music on it.

As for the market, if the general consensus is to downlevel it, then I'll do that in a 3.0.1 supplement. Like I mentioned, I was going back and forth on it for a few days.

Have you set it as the default, in the program? I used home switcher all the time, and wipe my device more than my arse. :D
[G Tablet General] mb2k:
I'm starting to wonder if it's the way my music app works. Subsonic will save a local copy of any song it plays, and i'm wondering if once it saves a song an sd card rescan interrupts music that is currently playing. I'm gonna try replicating.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
Thanks for the advice on clearing the default homescreen. That worked. Too bad TnT interferes with these apps though.

Rom seems very solid so far. Very responsive and quadrant scores are solid. I think the reason Vegan appears faster is because of the animations. When you flip between the screens, they both appear to be about as snappy.

I've been playing with the rom for about 2 hours, and I'm going to let the tablet idle overnight with wifi on to see what happens. I'll be very interested in hearing user reports over the next couple of days.

FWIW, I think the new market on this version works fine. The last implementation I saw was poor, but this one is solid. Although I like the look of the old market too, I say just leave well enough alone...google is pushing the new market so we might as well get used to it since gingerbread is already popping up on devices.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
For the Market not being able to install for lack of disk space issues, did you wipe user data as well? I ask because my tests were always clean wipes first (for stability reasons).

EDIT: Also, I got a tip from another user to ask about your SD partitioning -- did you ever redo those to something outside of the default of 2048?
[G Tablet General] thedudevt:
Hey Roe,

I can't get the 2.0 Contacts/Calendar to synch, so I vote go back.

Can GoJimi make a long press on the home icon open recent applications? Just a thought, that would take care of the functionality removed in the TnT update...

TheDude
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I was leaning this way, as well. I'll add them to a supplement + this home button changes. If something better shows up, we can always add them back in a future supplement.
[G Tablet General] thx69:
/bow

Thanks Roebeet :-)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
TnT Lite 1.02 didn't have a Calendar app (it was missing) and 1.03 had the vanilla app because I started using a modular format. Do we think the 1.03 Calendar is the way to go? I am going to assume yes - we can pull it out later if needed.

I don't use this thing with Outlook so I really don't know what's best for the group as a whole. Media apps I usually have a good handle on.
[G Tablet General] fyyzer:
Great find, thanks for passing along!
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Nice firmware..

Nice firmware roebeet! I don't have the tablet yet, but solely because of this firmware, I'm seriously considering purchasing this tablet tomorrow. We'll see.. I'm still on the fence, but it sounds like it makes the tablet quite useable. My only concern going forward really is with Android 2.3 and whether this tablet will be upgradeable.. :confused:
[G Tablet General] photonmedia:
Roebeet,

I am thinking if we change the following line in init.rc:

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE_SD2 /mnt/sdcard2

to something like:

export EXTERNAL_STORAGE_SD2 /mnt/sdcard/external

Then maybe it would be detectable by the system. I don't use an extra sdcard and cannot test this. If anyone wants to test it and report back that would be great. Just be sure to make a backup of the file first (or a nandroid backup).
[G Tablet General] moli13:
I'm having the same problem. I've been playing angry birds, surfing the web, playing youtube through the stock browser with side loaded flash 10.1 for about two hours and the battery is still at 100%.

EDIT: The battery indicator just dropped to 97%. This is incredible!!! :D
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I tried doing this early on with TnT 1.x (init.rc and the vold.fstab) but I had some issues. I think their framework is hard coding something. I haven't tried yet on TnT 2.x.

For video, I just use Astro to run it manually. And, for music, I just use Rockbox or Andless which can browse /sdcard2.

We just don't know, at this point. We suspect that the hardware is capable (512MB RAM, dual-core CPU) but it remains to be seen. I've said this before - I buy for the capabilities now, not the possibilities later because we have no idea if the device will ever get them. It has 2.2, Flash, Angry Birds, Xvid support, (limited) 720p/1080p support right now. For me, it's "good enough".

One thing I will tell you is that 512MB RAM is definitely a good thing with Flash, as it's a dog right now -- 100MB of RAM, just for that.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Oh, I wish that the Calendar and Contacts in 2.0 would pick up the Google accounts already set up on the tablet, like they're supposed to. Then my tab would be perfect. The old ones are just import-y for Gmail. I want the full integration! Waaaah! :)

Maybe someone will figure out how to sideload them properly.
[G Tablet General] khaytsus:
Aw, so the typical Google Calendar stuff doesn't work right now? That's not great, but I'm sure it'll be figured out.

2.0 version looks great, I haven't seen anything saying what ISN'T working yet, unless I missed it? So compared to what you all expect a tablet to do, what's it not doing using 2.0?

I'm still thinking of waiting for Sears to get a pile of them in the Outlet before buying one. Giving Sears/Viewsonic $400 for something that guys like Roebeet had to spend probably hundreds of hours to make work right isn't something I want to do. I'd rather donate it elsewhere.
[G Tablet General] KorbenD:
Odd bug in this build that I haven't seen in any others, can anyone confirm?

Rotation doesn't work on the Launcher screens, but in other apps (Nook, Gmail, etc) it does.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Roebeet,

The current caledar app works fine. Can you confirm that you used the same mail.apk in 2.0 as you did in 1.02?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Yeah, they just don't seem to pick up on the existing Google accounts on the tab. The Manage Accounts stuff is there, and Auto Sync, but the Google accounts aren't listed, and you can't add them manually. Gmail works fine, with both a Gmail account and a Google Apps account.

If someone can figure this out, I'll be their new best friend!

EDIT: Also, I'm noticing that the Gmail app no longer autofills e-mail addresses in the To: field as you're typing, which it briefly did when I had just sideloaded the Gmail app in the original TNT UI.

EDIT II: And now I'm wanting to be sure I'm talking about the same thing as everyone else, because I realize I added the TNTKeyboard / Gapps update, which would have had Calendar and Contacts in them. Would that be causing trouble? Will I have to undo all the wonderful personalization of the past few days and go back to plain TNTLite 2.0 and see what works? (If I do reflash TNTLite, is there anything I can do with Titanium Backup to save downloaded apps and whatnot?)
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
I loaded the full ADW launcher from the Market and it is far more customizable and works GREAT.
[G Tablet General] FSRBIKER:
Your right I am going to get him a netbook. I know several people have warned me about netbooks and playing games and to make sure it has enough memory(or upgradeable) and a decent graphics card. Found a Toshiba and Asus 11" for around $400.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I put up a 2.0.1 supplement reverting them back to 1.0.3 - it sounds like that's the general feeling as to how to deploy these. But, I guess everyone has their own requirements.

These are in /system/app, so you you'd need something like ADB to push them up, or create your own update.zip.

Email.apk is unchanged - it's Google vanilla.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Roebeet, I've been using this build since it came out and I love it! Of course, as you have stated up front, there are some issues that you already know about. I want to expand on one of those: Gmail, calendar, and accounts.

My wife is currently on a Zpad build only because she needs the Gmail email and calendar integration. She uses her G-Tablet as her central home-managing tool, and her company uses Gmail as their email provider. We use Gmail for our home calendar and tie in all the kids' calendars into the family calendar to keep track of schedules, appointments, activities, etc (three teenagers in the house forced us to do this). Thus, it is of the utmost importance for her (and me, by virtue of the fact that I am her tech support on this device) that this work. The better part; she is a programmer, and is starting work tablet-specific programs for email, calendar, etc that work better on the larger screens we have instead of on cell phones. Anyway, I digress: I tried to strip some apk's out of an update.zip and I was only partly successful in getting them to work in this latest TnT Lite build. The calendar worked, but I still couldn't get the google accounts to work with the calendar. I even tried the calendar helper apk's I found, but there must be something deeper, or some config file I needed to edit somewhere and couldn't find.

I dare say that with google integration fixed, this would be a build that even Viewsonic could install on the G-Tablets and consider it a true iPad killer. No kidding; I think it's that good!

I do remember the HTC Evo having the exact same problem for a while when it first released (calendar not picking up google accounts). I don't know what they did to resolve it, but it may be a good place to look to find out how to fix it here.

As always, keep up the great work! You are a ROCK STAR for us G-Tablet owners, and we're truly fortunate to have someone like you working in your spare time to make these devices live up to their potential. Viewsonic should HIRE YOU NOW!!!!

UPDATE: Tried the 2.01, and the calendar is less useful (IMO) than what is in 2.0 in regards to Exchange and definitely no-go with Google. I am reverting back to 2.0 as it was at least usable. Have you seen the calendar in either Zpad or Cyanogenmod? Either of those would work GREAT as long as the helpers to pull the Google and Exchange accounts in together was somehow included.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Roebeet--I actually reinstalled your 2.00 and wiped my user data, to see if there was some sort of conflict with having also installed TNTKeyboard & GApps. Alas, no, still nothing doing on Gmail Contacts and Calendar sync. (And I definitely want the GApps you had with 2.0, not the 1.3 ones, so I'll be sticking with those.)

There must be something that Viewsonic locked down in terms of Calendar and Contact sync. It just doesn't seem right that, with those apps already installed when you do the first-time setup, that setup only creates a Mail Sync and not Calendar and Contacts. It's like those two apps are invisible to the SetupWizard.

You've done yeoman's work, so this isn't in any way a complaint on your great offerings--I just hope that someone can figure this out. As I've said before (more than once, probably), the lack of contacts/calendar syncing is the only thing preventing this tablet from being exactly what I want.

My contacts that I would be e-mailing from this tab probably won't change all that often, so I can import them, but I have 7 different Google Calendars that I sure want to see.

But thanks again!
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
Thanks for the supplemental update, roebeet. Now my tablet is synching with the company exchange server for calendar, contacts, and email (although my wife would kill me if she knew since this was to be my "leisure" device.

We really appreciate all your effort!
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
so far so good. Response is much better. Thank you!!!!!

EDIT: quad scores are up and noob as it sounds (limited time with 3) my snow live wallpaper is dropping flakes much faster... My microSD card is reading. I just played xvid from the card with no prob. Sweet!
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yeah. I haven't used it in a while because I really don't need it but I would pick the launcher, click on the default button, and next time I hit the home button it would revert back to the old launcher. Maybe I will play with it again. Maybe it will work now. Maybe.....

Google Voice

Hi Roebeet,

Is there a way to get Google Voice installed? I can't get past the VM setup screen. I opt to skip it but still the setup won't complete.

I use GV mostly for texting specially traveling overseas since I have an INTL data plan.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've actually never tested it. I'd have to see if anyone else can chime in, to see it they've ever gotten it to work.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I am not running TnTLite right now but have you tried to update it from the market? That version was working fine before.
[G Tablet General] Nospin:
While stars are nice, reading the first few reviews can help you get the general gist of an app as well. I think the graphical upgrades in the new market are just too nice to revert to the older one.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Yep. Just got the latest from the market but it is the install that wants a phone linked to the app. The last piece of the install deals with the VM setup. Can't get past it to complete it. It hangs there....
[G Tablet General] mb2k:
I had it prior to 3.0 and it's working fine. Just sent myself a test text
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Thanks.!

Has anyone gotten past the VM install on Google Voice? Please post instructions if you have. Thanks....

Robeet, how do the steps for your updates and new rom installs compare with the steps in the thread...

[GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod, TnT Lite 2.2, Flash, and Market Fix

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245

I used the directions in that thread to install 2.2 and 2.4 because they were extremely useful for a newbie like me. It seams to work great so far. I read a lot on this current thread about partitioning and but I haven't touched the partitions. Just wondering before I upgrade to 3.0. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Slightly different, as Step 2 is obviously a different file. You'd need to extract my rar and you would use the update.zip inside as the replacement zip.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Yup, that's exactly what I did. OK. So I'm doing it right. Lot's of slang going on here that I'm just catching up on. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] purduecmpe:
All of a sudden all my movie files playback with 3.0.0 perfectly... Thanks so much Robeet!
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
I've tried resetting the partitions, wiping user data, clearing caches, fixing permissions, reinstalling 3.0,... you name it.

Coming from a stable 2.2, then 2.4, this has me very aggrevated lol.

I'm not the most fluent with android so does anyone have any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I just put TnT 3.0 on my tablet. Updated Google Voice from the market. Put my login stuff and it works fine. Just text messaging like before but it works. I am using my cell phone number that is linked to my GMail account.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
Calendar is still borked.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, that one still eludes me. The weird artifact.

I heard that if you use anything higher than the default 2048, when redoing the SD partitions, you will have this issue. Something kernel related, allegedly. So far, the one other person reporting this issue had their /data partition set at 4096.

I always left mine at 2048 because I figured it was plenty for my needs. I actually use more on my /sdcard partition for things like clockworkmod backups.
[G Tablet General] blakadher:
What about contacts? Can you still not add new contacts?
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
Is this update good? Any issues and what does Roebeet mean by removed long press? Is it literally removed? I use it to move things around and highlhome, like apps/Widgets and notes.

Also on the Status 7 issue, did Roebeet get messages of it appearing while updating to TnT Lite 3.0.0? Or is it for any general Lite build upgrade? Sounds kinda spooky if its reoccurring again..

Thanks for any answers, might try this update when I get home.
[G Tablet General] ctendell:
no long press?

I'm having trouble with the home button not allowing me to get to the task switcher. Anyone else having this issue?

I didnt do a clean install as I didnt want to have to go back over all my settings.
[G Tablet General] Turbo4V:
Installed tntl 3.0 without any problems, also did wipes etc to start 100% clean. Everything works and is really stable, great work roebeet!

One thing that I have noticed is that browser performance (stock and xscope) seems to be slower/choppier after v3.0. I've tried going back and forth between 2.2 and 3.0, and 2.2 is definitely more responsive for me...really weird!

Anyway, other than that,looks great so far!

::UPDATE::

Ok, I was mistaken. Looks like the difference between 2.2 and 3.0 was the Roebeet has removed the ad-blocking that was in there in v2.2. So 2.2 wasn't attempting to display flash content that 3.0 was on the test page that I had chosen. When I disable flash for both, they both act identically! Sorry for my confusion!

::UPDATE 2::

Added the adfree hosts file back to the system/etc directory, and all works exactly the same as 2.2... should have noticed that the adfree file was removed in the changes, sorry!!

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
It is not in there yet in 3.0. That feature is part of the framework that still needs to be worked on.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
I think the part about using an existing phone number connected to Google Voice is key ... I'd been having no luck with GV, but wasn't concerned with it until this post. I uninstalled GV, then downloaded it again from the market. During setup, I chose my cellphone number instead of the "add this phone" option, and -bam- everything worked!
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
I set partitions to 2048/256, cleared data and caches and installed 2.4 and everything works perfectly. I then tried the exact same procedure for 3.0 and get the market message about insufficient space.

Does any of this make sense? I just want 3.0 :(
[G Tablet General] pmcnano:
I used 2GB/0 for whatever is worth!
[G Tablet General] japhule:
Updated from 2.4 to 3.0 with no problems. No wipe necessary. I did fix permissions in cwm after upgrading. Everything isrunning great. Thanks Roebeet!
[G Tablet General] proengin:
Can you try 2048/0?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
the 256 just means he is using part of his memory for a swap file. It should not be causing the issue...
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Before I flash, Question.

In the first post it states:

- Do NOT use this firmware with clockworkmod .12 (the latest one). It will probably cause a boot failure because the boot.img is not padded. I personally use .08 and my docs are written around .08.

Now is that referring to the ROM Manager Version or the Clockwork Mod recovery version? My ROM Manager auto updated to version 2.5.1.8 and my Recovery is showing a version of 2.5.1.4

So can I do this without screwing something up? Neither version is ".08"

There is a link to download the .08 version but no instructions on how to install the .08 version. LoL
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That is referring to Clockwork mod. Get it here

http://www.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w

It gets installed using the stock recovery. You extract the zip file. You will end up with an update.zip file and a recovery folder that has a file named command in it. You need to get those 2 things onto the internal SD in your tablet by hooking up a usb cable and copying them over. Once they are there turn off your tablet. Then hold down the vol+ button and press the power button. Your tablet will then install clockwork. Once installed holding the vol+ and power button should boot you into clockwork.

Just to clarify... You want an update.zip file, and a recovery folder....
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Thanks for the reply. I am a impatient sort. So, got tired of waiting for a response and decided to "roll the dice" :)

I installed it with the current versions I have of the programs listed above and everything works fine without a problem.

Running 3.0 without any issues. Except for the "scanning SD card" over and over again. Can't use the ROM really until the "SD Card Scanning" is complete. Everything Force Closes until that procedure is completed...which, takes a bit. On every boot. :(
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
3.0 and keyboard

Installed 3.0 last night and noticed 2 things.

1. Market did not seem to show all the things it did in 2.4. FC and restarted like it says on the first page of this thread and Market was working fine again.

2. I had problems before 3.0 with my keyboard buttons on the edges of the screen not being as responsive. Thought it was a mechanical issue but with 3.0 it seems that the keyboard is smoother. Maybe a figment of my imagination but....

Thanks for 3.0
