I have searched for this but don't know which thread to follow. I have 4.3.2 installed right now and every time I boot up, I get one "gapps" force close dialog. I will close the dialog and won't have another one until I reboot. I tried the clear cache data, etc, but the FC still persists after the boot.

Also, I see the market hack is in this ROM, but still some apps are missing from the Market. I was able to use ShareGPS successfully with my EVO 4G and Nook, but can't seem to find it in the market for the g tablet. Are there more Market fixes to get the full Market just like I do in the EVO?
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
i think thats supposed to be a 3d/glossy button effect

i have the same problem, i did the market hack and it works for the most part, but some apps still dont show up that show up in my evo or on the market website, such as super manager and nenamark1
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You should be OK -- I have the newer bootloader in there so you probably got that. But your recovery partition might be very old, so keep that in mind. I have a Recovery Pack on here so you can update the recovery partition manually, if needed.

The "Contacts" is definitely a hack, so it's a little wonky.

We haven't found a 100% effective Market hack, yet. We get a lot of apps, but not all of them. :(

Found a bug in vold (USB mounting) - might have a 2.0.4 tonight

The one in the performance pack is causing some issues, I believe - for me, I can't use cwm properly and others have reported issues with not seeing files after mounting / unmounting.
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
Thanks flipper but I have that part down. I got the 2.0 installed fine but I then put 2.03 over that on the internal memory and then did a reboot (volume/power) and it did pick it up but I wasn't sure if it actually went through for the second update.

How is video playback

How is video playback with this "downgrade". With the experimental performance pack youtube and general video performance was much smoother. Do we lose that? I don't think a working camera is worth it...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
So far no issues with youtube, in minimal testing. But that's always been pretty on and off, with me.

2.0.4 is definitely coming - that vold binary is problematic so I have to back out of it. I think rothnic had already caught this on zPad but I was slower to respond.
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Forgive the noob question here, but how do you initially flash the tnt light rom? Do you need root access before doing anything? Flashing stuff is nothing new to me, but maybe I missed a step.

You put the update.zip into the root of the onboard flash drive/memory, and then turn on the device with the volume up and power buttons held. On doing this, I get a big exclamation point (!). And then it boots normally. Are there some steps before this I need to do? TIA!
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
That sounds like you don't have clockwork recovery installed. You can manage without it, but I woulld look at the instructions in this forum and install clockwork first. You won't regret it over time.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Thanks, I don't really care so much about youtube, but in general smooth video playback is more valuable than a camera for me.

And btw a big THANKS for all your work on these roms, I honestly would not have bought the device (and would not enjoy it) without the work you've done!
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Ya, I don't have it installed yet, I basically did a system restore, and am now trying to flash it. I was following the directions for "Standard Recovery," but I guess it won't work?

So let me get this straight so I understand this correctly.. Clockworkmod I see is an update.zip w/ a recovery folder. I'm guessing this isn't "installed" separately, but rather it's run on top of the built in stock loader/flasher and then you rename the tntlite.zip to update.zip and it flashes that way? So clockworkmod is never "installed" anywhere per say? I guess I'll just skip trying to flash it w/ the onboard flash memory..

Edit: I'm a retard, let me try this again, I missed a step..
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I have an Inc too. CW appears to work the same, though have yet to actually attempt a restore of my rom back up.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
I would expect the standard recovery process to work, but the first thing I did with my tab is install clockwork and make a backup, so I haven't used any standard update since then.

One of the features you get with clockwork is the abillity to browse and install update zip files from flash storage; the name doesn't matter, and they don't have to be recovery images. This flexibility is nice, and combined with the backup/restore feature makes it a great tool.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You don't need clockworkmod - actually have the ZIP setup with non-cwm users in mind. Just read up on my first post, as it explains it. Basically, you need to have an update.zip on the root of /sdcard, and /recovery/command file as well.
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Big thanks guys, and my apologies for wasting your time on a repetitive question.

My mistake was that I wasn't extracting the update.zip and /recovery folder with the script from the zip file.. doh..

I'm creating a backup of the stock image now with the clockworkmod, and I'll move onto roebeet's awesome tnt lite! Thanks a lot guys, and my apologies again for misreading the directions! ;)

BUMP for 2.0.4. Posted (should fix the USB mounting issues).
[G Tablet General] 3pod:
Roebeet, first of all wanted to thank you for your awesome work here. I would not be using my gTab if not for you and the other around here making this the best Android tablet out there.

Ok enough brown nosing. :D

Question: I just loaded your 2.03. I'm really missing the speed and snappiness of your 2.02 + Tegra Experimental drivers.

If I have 2.03 loaded, can I just load the experimental drivers on top? and get back the speed?

I realize that the camera will probably be borked again but I'm willing to live with that.

Thanks man!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yes, but keep in mind the the USB mounting issues are in the experimental update. I think the ad-hoc will break, as well.
[G Tablet General] mrackley:
Another quick note on the 2.03 update. Tried watching some shows on Fox.com (in full screen). Both times it worked great for about 30 minutes and then suddenly playback stopped, video reverted back to embedded small view with a arrow play button in the middle and a white background. Did not notice this before.

Anyone else seeing this or is it just me?
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Wow, this thing is awesome! Mad props Roebeet!:D

I was using a friend's zenithink zt-180, with one of the latest firmwares, and I must say that thing is literally unusable, especially compared to this. Big thanks Roebeet and everyone who helped with this!

Edit: N/m, found the fix.

Ad hoc will break but you can reinstall this file to get ad hoc back:

2.04 update feedback:

1. Appears to be back to stable again & USB storage mode works correctly :)

2. All of my missing apps like Angry Birds and Steambirds appeared again :)

3. Youtube sucks again, as does G4 and IMDB :(

4. Nowhere near as zippy an interface :(

5. Back to 1800s in Quadrant :( Performance correlates.

It appears we simply went back to 2.0, since not seeing any improvements. None the less, we now see what the device can do and that it in fact is severely gimped at the moment, due to pi55 poor implementation of drivers by Viewsonic.

Simply put: Why does Advent Vega have stable Nvidia drivers with same chipset as the Gtablet? Myself and probably thousands of returns have the same question.

I think we may be at the mercy of the OEM applying the Nvidia patches. Thinking about it, kind of wish I did not use 2.03, since it confirms we have a severely gimped device, in relation to its potential. Irony.

At least thanks to a few great folks here at XDA, Viewsonic will not see 100% returns ;)

Sorry, but Roebeet ROCKS and Viewsonic SUCKS. I think that is a fair summary.

Not sure if I missed something, but Google services framework fc whenever I set Google calendar to sync. Anyone know what I am doing wrong?
[G Tablet General] cheapskate88:
+1

Also, I tried using my new gtab as an alarm... Unfortunately, it didn't go off until I unlocked it. Counter intuitive, no? Has anyone else had this problem. The tablet sleeps like it's off. Similar problem when trying to play Youtube with the screen off; sound just cuts off.

Suggestions?
[G Tablet General] fldash:
The Market issue is my biggest complaint at the moment... argh. I don't understand why it's so hard to get a full market...

Because Google is evil, that's why. :mad:

Roebeet, Awesome rom. I noticed a bug. In the web browser, you can't save an image or send it by holding down on the image for 3 seconds. Anyone know a fix?
[G Tablet General] samaruf:
Thanks for all the good work. Do you get the gapps force close messages with this ROM? The problem starts right after rebooting and then every few minutes leading me to believe it's due to gmail or calendar trying to sync but for some reason can't.
[G Tablet General] dfin13:
Same sort of thing happens for me -- after a couple of minutes, notifications no longer come through until I wake the tab. For example, using Chrome to Phone, or a notification signaling it's my turn in a game.
[G Tablet General] joe2262:
I'm using a widget called 'retro clock' and its alarms sound even when my gtab is sleeping.

EDIT: When the alarm goes off the gtab wakes up with a dialog showing the time, snooze and dismiss buttons.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
could be a stock ROM bug. That browser is a proprietary TnT one, not stock (there's no way to rip it out, I've tried). I believe DolphinHD is a favorite, here.
[G Tablet General] fpga_guy:
I had to do this to get the full "new" market. Thanks to roebeet

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9303908&postcount=1

- Get a copy of Titanium Backup and sideload it (free version is fine). http://matrixrewriter.com/android/

- Make sure the Market is working with your Google ID, of course.

- Go into Settings -- Applications -- Manage Applications and Force Stop both the Market and Google Services Frameworks apps.

- In Titanium Backup, go into "Backup/Restore", look for "Google Services Framework 2.2", click on it and then choose "Wipe Data". Then go back to the home screen.

- Run the Market app. You should get an error (that's a good thing, as that's what we want. If you don't get an error, re-try the steps above until you do).

- Reboot, and wait at least a minute after the OS is up to let things stabilize.

- Run the Market again. You should see an immediate difference.

sleep problem again on 4.4.0

Groan..

I upgraded to 4.4. Gtab booted up with the new logo, etc.. Everything is fine with sleep unless you view webpage with graphics or watch movie. When you press the power button and select sleep; the next time it reboots. Very consistent.

Now back to 4.2.5
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
yeah thats the standard market hack, i used it

it re-instates a greater portion of the market but not all of it, and the 'missing' portions seem to vary because now i can't find firefox in the market when it was there a couple days ago when i installed it
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
User data wipe? It's the only thing I can think of. On 4.3.x, sleep was a constant issue, but on 4.4.0 I've been good (so far).

the Market hack has never been 100% - we've got a lot of apps with the tweaks, but some seem to be missing. I don't think anyone has a sure fire way to correct this, yet.
[G Tablet General] fpga_guy:
Nope.. I didn't do a data wipe. It went well for tracker_tim so I didn't bother. I also noticed that on a boot the wifi had to be turned on. Wasn't the case with 4.2.5.

I'll just sit back a while and see how things go with 4.4. I'll update again when 4.4.1 or even 4.5 comes along. Keep to my plan of skipping every other update. Appreciate your work.
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
yeah i understand that, seems bizarre that google would want to restrict the market in anyway, i was just noting that what might be 'missing' seems to vary because firefox was there on monday when i first installed it, went to reinstall it tonight and it doesn't show up in search :confused: lol

google sky map and sleep

In the past, I have found that google sky map inevitably causes sleep to fail and hence a reboot rather than a resume. I dare not try on my g tablet at this point. Perhaps this may help in isolating the problem.

Resuming on my g tab is like going to Las Vegas: will it resume or will it reboot (as my heart palpitates)?
[G Tablet General] fab4272:
With the new clemsyn's v7 kernel in this ROM, do we now get access to CIFS at all?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] cheapskate88:
So is that a TnT "feature"?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a side benefit, that's correct (I actually tested CIFS Manager, before I released). I don't advertise it because I only put Clem's kernel in there to correct the sleep issue and future versions might not have it. A lot depends on what Viewsonic releases next time around.

G Sensor issue

I got this just last night and installed and looked through 4 separate ROMs. Really impressed with this community and Android in general. Haven't had any issues I couldn't figure out through this and other forums. Anyway, the only real remaining issue I am having is the G Sensor. Is the hack that is included in this built supposed to fix the issue of right being left and up being down? I wish I was dyslexic ;)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a hack that fixes some games that are 90 degrees off - one example I use is "Armageddon Squadron", but there are others. Not sure about the issue you are describing - is there an app that's completely off, even with this hack?
[G Tablet General] tsm26:
I had major issues with the Market hack until I followed these steps:

The standard market fix that is floating around is not always sufficient. To be sure that it will work, you need Titanium Backup installed and have opened Market and surfed around a bit.

Steps

1. Settings->Applications->System applications->Market then Clear Cache (if any) then Force Stop

2. Go back one and then Google Services Framework then clear data then Force Stop

3. Go to home and open Titanium Backup

4. Select Backup/Restore tab

5. Select Google Services Framework

6. Select Wipe Data

7. Go to home and open market (it will error and close)

8. Reboot your tablet

9. Open Market and you will have full market (I can't find anything I don't have and have tested it with several ROMs)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Interesting! I used to use TB exclusively for this, then stopped. Weird that it actually works better than just using Settings -- Applications, but I will keep in mind!
[G Tablet General] tsm26:
aTilt 3d Labyrinth Free. However, I just found out that in their settings you can switch the Y and X axis and then it works. "out of the box" it is completely opposite. Wish other games all had the same ability.
[G Tablet General] tsm26:
I was trying to get the market fix in TNT and found that in settings it showed Market with no cache regardless of whether I surfed around or not. Because of this the written market fix did not work no matter how many combinations I tried. The TB fix was the only way to get it to work, and now it shows my market as having cache and the settings market fix now works, so TB did something, whether there were permission issues on the cache or who knows what.
[G Tablet General] fldash:
tsm, I just did that step for step. I do not have Adobe Flash listed in the market.
[G Tablet General] fpga_guy:
I didn't see it either. I used this copy http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12206020&postcount=1

sans the 'clear data' steps prior to force closing those are the exact steps i followed and most certainly dont have full market, its much better than it was but definitely not full :(
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I actually test their non-free version, as I know that one can have problems with the hack (but as you mentioned, it's fixable). It came with my SmartQ R10, so it's on the "up and up" tmk. ;)

My Experience with TnT lite 4.4.0

1. Unboxed tablet, installed OTA update, then installed TnT 4.4.0 using the built-in recovery.

2. Installed a few apps from the market, then started to get FCs in system.media and in settings app.

3. Rebooted, it boot loops. Tried data wipe via clockwork (via SD card), still bootloops.

4. Repartitioned SD card via clockwork, that fixed it.

5. Did Google framework data clear and market cache clear. Everything's fine now.

QQ, which launcher works best with this ROM?

[G Tablet General] justauser:
A bit of a scare updating

I started with stock and used stock recovery to install TNTL 4.4 I'd been thinking baout TNTL but also wanted the Clemsyns kernel so 4.4 seemed perfect. All seemed to go well and after the reboot I got the 3D Honeycomb display, but it stayed that way for 10 minutes. Finally I saw a lock screen. Went to unlock and got the Honeycomb again for 10 more minutes. Rebooted.

I got the lock screen and when unlocking kept getting the Honeycomb and nothing else. After a bunch of tries I got into a "Sfae Mode" or so the screen said. I had the stock launcher and a few apps that are standard but none of my old apps. Did a few settings and rebooted and now I get the full system and all of my apps.

Now I reboot and get lock, but I have a case with USB keyboard and so the screen is upside down in the case. Lock is upside down - doesn't recognize orientation. Getting an error on start about FC for Google Partner Services. Also I don't see my installed apps when I bring up the market . But then again, I am still trying to get the market to work all of the time without FC's.

Despite it all thanks so much for the ROM and your continued efforts.

A solution for gapps force close issue

I am happy with the gtablet and this ROM except for the gapps error box that pops up every few minutes. One solution is to remove google apps that require syncing (Gmail, calendar, contacts) or you could disable syncing from the Power Control widget. I tried the later and now I don't get any FCs.

I am not missing gmail as I have it set up in the K9 email app. I will turn on sync once or twice during the day to fetch calendar and contact info which, to be honest, I don't care for as much because these are all working in my EVO.
[G Tablet General] samaruf:
I tried your steps and it didn't make any difference with the market fix hack. Apps that I couldn't see are still invisible. ShareGPS, Google Earth, for example, is still not there.

Android Market Limitations

Was able to successfully load TnT Lite 4.4.0 on my Woot! GTab. Once I followed the instructions all went well. However, the one nagging problem (other than the ridiculous display) is that many apps appear to be locked out from the device. Skyfire and Miren browser say they are not compatible. SiriusXM radio app, not compatible. In fact, almost anything I'd want to add is not compatible.

In the Market the device is listed as a Malata GTablet TnT Lite. Would I have been better off using another ROM or do they all have this problem.?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yep, should work fine. Always backup your data in advance of course. :)
[G Tablet General] petey1214:
Done and done, Rob. I always backup my stuff before doing anything. I need a backup right now anyway cause it's been a while.

Quick question Roebeet. If I have 4.3 and flash 10.2 already, will going to 4.4 give me a problem.since you added the 10.2 apk into the file?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It might as it will try to reinstall (I think) - if its the same version, possibly not. Worst case, uninstall and reboot and the Market apk will be reinstalled.

10.2 (the one in the Market) is part of 4.4.0.
[G Tablet General] streetsmart999:

First off, don't kill me! I tried to search but the site told me that feature was unavailable right now...

Something is driving me nuts!!! The soft-home-button on the far right bring up the Clock Dock instead of going home. The on-screen home button in the upper left corner seems to function fairly normally. Is there a way to make the soft-home-button act like a normal home button with this ROM? How?....
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Do you mean the tactile button on the right side? It should work (I actually test that ever since I messed up on 4.3.0). Data wipe, perhaps? Just a guess.

I did a full data wipe several times.

I even restored the device to the default ROM and tried again.
