That was the 4.3.0 test version. 4.3.0 released version is slightly different -- I added new Market and the rothnic animations. If 4.3.0 test is working for you, maybe just leave it as is for now. But keep in mind supplements are being based the 4.3.0 release.

For example, 4.3.1 adds a file back that you actually don't need, as a 4.3.0 test user.

TNT Lite 5 / TwoTapsX is faster than TNT Lite 4.3.0, and it may not have the sleep problems that 4.3.0 has. However, the upgrade path to TNTL5 / TTx was so riddled with mines that I was forced to pull it. So there are pros and cons to both.

Plus, TTx is on hiatus right now anyway. For a few more days.
[G Tablet General] muqali:
I'm glad I was in lazy mode and didn't upgrade to 5.x

Just pushed 4.3 and 4.3.1 to my tab last night.
[G Tablet General] absorbers:
We will patiently wait, roebeet. Thanks for your work the huge!

Flashing Clemsyn through standard recovery

I expect to flash this ROM tonight, using NVFlash to get back to stock, thus getting the standard recovery.

My question is: Is it safe to flash Clemsyn's kernel via standard recovery? I'm only concerned because I'm so used to wiping cache/dalvik cache before and after flashing kernels -- an option not allowed with the standard recovery (to my knowledge).

Has anyone successfully flashed Clemsyn's recent Froyo kernels for TnT Lite 4.3.x?
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
I'm using the last version, but I did through CWM and after cleaning all caches. It works great and no more sleep issues
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Confirmed. I did exactly the same with same result.

Thanks Roebeet.
[G Tablet General] Jesse6749:
I switched from Calkulin's v1.1 to this 4.3.1 rom and so far everything works fine and it seems a bit smoother than Calkulin's rom. I am even getting a slightly higher nenamark score of 47.5 fps :D :D :D.

Thanks for all the hard work Roebeet!!!!!

Update: I just checked the market and roebeet I don't know what you did but I can see all my apps on the market and on this rom is the first rom on which I can see all my installed apps and I never even did the market hack on this rom LOL!!

Thanks!!!!!! :D :D :D
[G Tablet General] tatoone:
If I want download TNT 5 in mediafire, the file is setting as private.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks.

5.0 ans TwoTaps are resting for a few days

Roebeet has put the 5.0 and TwoTaps ROMs on a short hiatus to see what Viewsonic is going to do this next week with their expected new update. He was getting so much grief from people who think XDA 24-7 support comes paid with their purchase of a grab that he made the smart decision to take a breather for a bit until it's clear where the official release is going. When 5.0, which is now Twotaps, comes back you'll love it so long as you EXPLICITLY follow each and every step given to upgrade, which means not using CWM anymore and knowing how to go back to an absolutely pristine, out-of-the-box stock build. It's worth the effort for the speed and stability.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It was pulled.

I also pulled my links and made them private, but I see that other sites link directly to my ROM vs this post (which really isn't the correct thing to do - my first post has the latest info). I can't pull the megaupload links so hopefully no one is using those.

I might make a decision by tomorrow on what I do. ie. Woot devices are stating to show up - if they are 3588, then I'm still in limbo. But if they are 3991, then TwoTapsX (which is the successor to TNT Lite 5) will get reactivated.
[G Tablet General] absorbers:
More soon tomorrow. Today's night I won't sleep :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Early Woot! reports are that the devices are build 3389

What that means is that TNT Lite 4.3.0 is still alive and well, and that TwoTapsX is still "Experimental" at best. 3991 (or whatever might replace it) is still not released yet.
[G Tablet General] absorbers:
Who has flash TwoTapsX say that it very much and very qualitative ROM. Also is already ready to become a beta.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If Viewsonic releases 3991, it will actually be a full release. Or, it might get killed if they replace 3991 with something else.

Actually, if you want 90% of what TwoTapsX is, just use TNT Lite 4.3.x. It has the 3991 (TwoTapsX) system, just not the new kernel or bootloader - so it's safer to use with the current "1.1" firmware environment we use.

Nenamark scores on TNTL 4.3.0 are ~40fps, and on TTx it's ~44fps, so it's not quite as fast. But no slouch, either.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
After recovering from a huge system failure managed to get 4.2.5 up and running again. My question is can I upgrade to 4.3 from 4.2.5 or do I have to Nvflash back to stock then load the 4.3 rom?

It's not that big of a deal if I have to reflash, it is just that I got my tab stable again after fighting for a week of errors.
[G Tablet General] Jesse6749:
I am getting 45.5 fps with setcpu at stock speeds, if I lock the cpu at 1Ghz(both min and max speeds set to 1Ghz) then I get 47.5 fps, so 4.3.1 is very smooth and fast :D :D :D.

Don't know if using Clemsyn's 03202011 kernel is making it faster for me LOL!!! :D
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I suspect it's his kernel thats pushing the numbers up. I leave the stock ROM in there to keep it "close to stock", but I also have links to custom kernels if a user wants to to add it. I leave it as optional.

4.2.5 to 4.3.0 should be a safe upgrade, even with clockworkmod. When you get 4.3.0, there's a way to drop back to standard recovery if you want (going to update my first post with more details on that process).

I personally use standard recovery now for flashing only, and then clockworkmod for the backups and wiping data functions.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Adobe Flash stated ver. 10.1.120.11?

- Checked in setting/application/downloaded apps: flash ver 10.1.120.11

- Used market to update to 10.2 and verified in setting that it's ver 10.2.156.12.

- Reboot and setting reverted back to ver 10.1.120.11 ???

- Repeat above steps 3x still same issue.

May be it's an isolated issue?

Thanks in advance for clarifying.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think I have an idea what's going on - the script is outdated and must be overriding what you're dong. You'd think the script would be smart enough to realize that a newer version is there, but I guess not.

I can fix this with a supplement - all I will do is replace the Flash.apk they have with a 10.2 apk (the same one from the Market). Thanks for catching this! I actually had this in TwoTapsX, but I forgot to port it over to TNT Lite 4.3.0. Easy fix, though.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Installed V432 suppl via CWM.

Flash still shows ver. 10.1

Updated via market to flash 10.2

Reboot and happy to see flash 10.2 ( reboot & check 3 times)

Thanks Roebeet.
[G Tablet General] gimpychris:
does anyone know how to get the camera and microphone working? I have tried skype and tinychat, neither of which has worked for anything. Has anyone had success?
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Is there something I missed about the power button? It seems like there is no sleep mode and I have to reboot each time I allow the screen to blank.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Some people have complained about that, but I have not had the problem (as well as others). I don't know why this is -- did you do a data wipe after installing / upgrading this? I'm curious if we can find root cause, if there is one.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I think that I'll be moving back to TnTl four.x as I've been noticing slowdown in Dolphin HD with TTx. Slowdown consists of nonresponsive applications prompting the wait or FC dialog box. So I guess that later I'll post how nvflash backdown to bekit November fw goes. Also have noted an increase in screen artifacts.
[G Tablet General] booge3211:
II have same issue I have never wiped data science tnt light 1 idk everything seems to work:cool:
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
I've installed clemsyn's kernel v6.

Have no issue with power/sleep mode.

Hope this help.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You've NEVER wiped data since TNT Lite 1.x? That might be a record. :)

4.3.0 is based off 3991 UAT (system only) which is a new development branch. I would recommend backing up your user data and wiping the device, my 2 cents. I'd really like to find out why this is only happening to some users and not others.

I'm going to do some non-wipe (yeah, sounds bad) testing to see if I can replicate this. But I would recommend a data wipe as a first step, regardless. I think most ROM makers usually request that given how Android functions.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
I can confirm the power/sleep issue. Set screen time out to 10 min then waited. Screen went black, hit volume rocker...no screen. pushed power button, tab went into boot mode.

Also tried hitting power button for sleep/ shutdown option. Chose sleep, same thing happened. seems as though sleep is putting it into a hard shutdown?

BTW my upgrade from 2.4.5 went smooth. love the new lock slider. Where are the settings for that option?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Still trying to find out if the lack of a data wipe is root cause. I've actually been on 4.3.2 since yesterday and sleep is definitely working for me. It was in sleep mode all night, actually.

EDIT: This is interesting. Auto sleep is working, but not manual sleep via the power button. That must be the difference. The Adam had the same issue until recently, and perhaps the 3991 build has this too. I will add this to the caveats -- it might actually be the 3588 kernel.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
I have same power/sleep as described with default kernel (#16).

Installed Clemsyn's kernel V6 fixed that.

Hope this help.
[G Tablet General] notwen:
Phew. Up & running after a hell of a backout issue from 5.01. =] 4.32 is running like butter. Thanks for the quality ROMs roebeet. I've tried the rest and TNTL is my preferred ROM for the G-Tab, keep it up. =]
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
New lock slider is in their 3991 UAT framework. I was also told that it should be in their next released firmware - whenever that actually shows up.

Glad to hear that that the downgrade from 5.xxx worked, btw -- I designed 4.3.x specifically to ease the transition off 5.xx, if a user wanted to go that route. It's not 100% though - sometimes it's a soft-brick that needs nvflash to fix.
[G Tablet General] vegeetz:
I read about this "next" firmware update... but does anyone know what doors this new firmware will unlock for the gtab community?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't want to speculate -- gets me in trouble. :P

All I know is that it should be similar to the 3991 UAT, in that it has the lockscreen and Spanish / French language support. We don't know much else, yet.
[G Tablet General] vegeetz:
Terrible... So much power in the gTab... but we are still limited to one core still right?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Correct. And guess what? HC doesn't seem to be a heck of a lot better. :confused:

I keep thinking it's similar to when dual-CPU's were around in the early XP days. Having dual CPU's are great, but if your apps are single-threaded it's just wasting one CPU. Android might not 100% the same, but I believe that the consensus is that the full power of the Tegra 2 has yet to be tapped.
[G Tablet General] vegeetz:
So you are saying... HoneyComb is the Windows Vista of Android lol.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
roebeet,

I confirmed the report on my 4.3.2 G-Tablet. When I short-pressed the power key

to go to sleep, each time it would refuse to come back when I short-pressed again

or when I pressed the volume rocker. Same thing also happened when I let it go to

sleep after inactivity.

Side observation: When I finally had to reboot, if I pressed the power key down only

one long-press, I had to wait at least 10 seconds and then it would not power up

until I let go. Or, if I let go sooner and it didn't come up, then another press fairly

quickly would start it. Kind of wonky, but consistently did that.

NOTE: Before starting these tests, I used the Settings/Security/Reset Factory Data

option to wipe data. I then set up enough of the data to make sure everything was

working right. then I started trying the sleep tests.

[G Tablet General] pershoot:
set your wifi to never sleep when using the stock/stock'ish froyo rom.

this 'should' make wakeup a bit better.
[G Tablet General] simon-edwards:
Don't try to wake it with the power button, try the "+" volume button instead.

It's not intuitive, but its working for me. Any attempt to wake using the power button eventually results in a re-boot. Not ideal behaviour.
[G Tablet General] booge3211:
yeah never did a wipe data, didnt want to lose my apps :P but i have cleared cache, but never did a complete wipe never did anything other then just put the update.zip on the tablet then flashed it. thats all i have ever done, i know i am risking bricking it but why not try it out/
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Bizarre - almost like the key is remapped. Well, it is a bit of a hybrid mod -- if it works, then that can be a workaround for now. I'll test it - thanks!

EDIT: No go. Seems like we have some of the same sleep issues that we had in earlier builds - I also tried the "Spare Parts" trick but that doesn't work consistently, either.
[G Tablet General] Archangel:
I know this is dumb so excuse the question,,,do i have to root my newly purchased with something like Z4 root? It is a stock g tab. I assume that all i need to do it place the update.zip of clockwork mod to back up my current rom then load this rom over that?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
z4root is not needed for most mods, including this one. You get root with TNT Lite.
[G Tablet General] karlkarloff:
Sleep Issue

I just "laterally upgraded" from TwoTapsX to TnT 4.3.2 and was having the previously mentioned issues any time I let it go to sleep. Would not wake and had to reboot to get it to turn back on. generally had to hold down the power button for 10 seconds to get it to do anything. But it seems that whatever is in Clemsyn's kernel fixed the issue. I've purposely let it go to sleep about 15 times now, and haven't had a single problem yet with the new kernel installed. So whatever is wrong seems to get fixed with custom kernels. Don't know if that helps, but information is always a good thing.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks - I actually wanted to re-test TTx as well to see if it existed there.
[G Tablet General] karlkarloff:
Actually, TTx worked amazingly well, no sleep issues or anything. I didn't have problems with waking until I flashed TnT.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I was thinking that might be the case. TNT Lite 4.3.0 is "safer" than TTx because of the older bootloader, but it has its own issues.

Man, I really wish Viewsonic would release that new firmware and we can finally put all this to bed. It's been 2 weeks, now.

Gtab still better equipped

Been looking at some of the other tablets but have not seen that any of the others have the option to plug in a thumbdrive. The Gtab is the only one that I've seen that has that. Can anyone correct me on that? I didn't see it on the Xoom or the Playbook.

Took a trip to Texas and left the Gtab at home. What a mistake! The PC was cramped due to the small space. The battery on the PC didn't even make it through the whole movie.

Sorry Baby! Next time I won't forget you.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I'm not really keen on 3991 if it's like TTx. I still haven't had time to backout yet and suddenly started getting com.Google.services...gapps FCs to go along with the general application slowdowns and more artifacts. Just going to nvflash to bekit stock fw then back to 4.x
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It might be why VS has delayed the new release for so long. I've found TTx (3991 base) to be very rock solid - but others have had issues, especially in the upgrade process.

This waiting game is driving me nuts.....
[G Tablet General] absorbers:
+100 from Russia
[G Tablet General] bkbrod:
I've been TTx for about a week now, no problems. It comes out of sleep mode and not one FC.

I am very happy with it.

Thanks Roebeet ;)
[G Tablet General] snarful:
Still on tntl 5.5.0 with no problems, no fc's, no other issues. I love it!

Also, just had my new Xoom wi-fi delivered; stoked about that; charging as we speak.
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
well got the latest tntlite on, this thing flies, although the stock apps on the home screen say 'not installed' when i click them??

oh and if i let the screen go to sleep i get the 'wont wake up without reboot' thing, power, and either volume button do nothing

tried searching thread and couldn't find anything to fix this right?

and the live wallpaper switcher thing is the only thing that lets sized wallpapers fit properly?

i get occasional random force closes,

market seems to be working but i can't find things like yahoo messenger (has anyone tried it with the vid chat option? supposedly it works for 2.2 based roms like my evo and my fiances optimus), and mybackup
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That "not installed" might mean a data wipe is required. Did you mod from something like VEGAn? Also, your widgets might have gotten messed up too. Same for the FC's.

Sleep issue is a known issue, and it's in the Caveats section. Fix for now is to use a custom kernel (I generally recommend a custom kernel, anyway). Whatever VS cooks up next should fix this, as well.

Correct about wallpaper, you need something that's large enough to fit the screen (it doesn't resize, tmk)
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
no i installed from stock 3588, but i forgot to do the wipe, guess i could try that now, should i reflash the rom and the supplement again?

i missed the sleep thing in the caveats section at first, not familiar with flashing a custom kernel though, have a suggestion/thread to point me at?

i put properly sized 1024x600 jpgs on my tab but when i select them the gallery wants to make a square box selection (so you can't select the entire image), and then it enlarges the selected box even more

not overly concerned with that right now since the live wallpaper thing seems to be a stop gap

is there anyway to change the buttons in the power control widget?

i had something similar to that on my evo for awhile and you could edit the buttons/colors etc

thanks again for all your work on this
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Data wipe is just going into Settings -- Security and the Factory Reset. No need to reflash. Will probably fix the FC's as well, but keep in mind that all your user apps will be wiped out (anything you installed yourself). And user data like Angry Birds levels. I use Titanium Backup to keep a backup of those things, before a data wipe.

I would just read through either custom kernel area to get a feel for what's needed. It's not tech-free but with some research it seems to work A-OK. I am cognizant of the sleep issue and I am waiting for VS to get their new update out so I can fix it.

I also have had some issues with wallpaper exact specs, but I know its do-able - I think it needs to be 1024x1024 to fit landscape and portrait(?)

No idea on the button control changing, sorry about that.
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
i did the wipe, restored some of my apps and stuff, and oddly enough, the sleep/power button stuff started working properly...then played around with it some more and it stopped working...

now its working again...wtf?

addendum, after several hours unplugged from full charge, many reboots, the wipes, resetting the market twice, installs, playing with apps, battery still shows 100%?
[G Tablet General] Tracker Tim:
I got tired of the sleep issue with 3.2, so I went back to 2.5 until there is a fix.

Tim
[G Tablet General] msieg080:
I first updated to 4.3.2 and confirmed the sleep issue (it did exist). I then upgraded to Clemsyn custom kernel version 7(#221). I am amazed at how stable and how fast everything is running. Sleep issue is no longer there but oddly I only score a 2028 on the quadrant score.

Only one thing occurred that I was pretty upset over. This is the first update where market (now version 2.3.4) forced me to use a gmail account. I have now lost all my purchases on the market, even though I have order history there showing my purchases. I did factory reset three times trying different things, even tried a restore through TI (which completely broke the market and then reflashed again) The sleep mode works better then it ever has before.

I upgraded from 4.2.4.
[G Tablet General] msieg080:
Flashing the custom kernel is sooo simple - download (already zip format), rename to "update.zip" and flash through .8 clockworkmod like you normally do the rom's. The kernel links are on page 1 of this thread under "other items of note"
[G Tablet General] hikouka71:
thanks, unfortunately i didn't use clockwork to update my gtab because of the possible future issues roebeet was explaining, is there a way to do it using adb or nvflash?
[G Tablet General] msieg080:
Follow the instruction for "Standard recovery" also on page one. Just name the file "update.zip" move it to the location and boot holding the "+" volume.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
Since so many are using standard recovery over CWM 8, is there a way I can remove my CWM and replace it with stock?

Would like to get set up to start over w/o the use of CWM as my rom installer.

I know I read a thread somewhere but after spending 20 using search ( and suffering from "SQUIRREL!!!" syndrome) I can't track it down.

any help would be appreciated.
[G Tablet General] twiceover:
Thanks. I was wondering how to install a custom kernel, but couldn't find any real instructions.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you are on TNT Lite 4.3.0, you already have it - see "3588 Recovery Pack" in my first post. If you are not on TNT Lite 4.3.0 or gADAM 1.3.0+, you can add this pack manually (just see the references section, again in my first post).

I feel that the Recovery Pack is a good balance, and I actually use this. Clockworkmod for the nandroid stuff, wiping data or SD repartitioning. But, when it comes time to flash firmware, I switch back to standard recovery.

Btw, IF our friends at Viewsonic ever release this new firmware of theirs, it should have an improved standard recovery. IF IF IF they ever release the darn thing.

Both the custom kernels I link to are the same, in that they are update.zips - they should "just work" if you run them as such. They are 1.1 ROM agnostic and should work on TNT (Lite). I have to admit, I have seriously considered adding pershoot's kernel to TNT Lite, but I feel that there are some people who would prefer to use stock so I leave it as an option, only.

Btw, that's not a knock at Clemsyn's kernel - I just used Pershoot's first (for the gADAM). That's another reason why I prefer not to add one, as I would have to play favorites, then.
[G Tablet General] msieg080:
Roebeet - I used clockwork mod again for the 4.3 flash (since you left it as an option). Clockwork mod is still there after my flash. does this mean I didn't rewrite the bootloader? Does this mean I don't have the stock recovery? How are you using both? I am a little confused now - sorry :(

PS. I think you would have to favor Clemsyn kernel ;)
