[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
Reboot loops

I also wanted to mention that I have had a couple of instances of the tablet rebooting over and over again with 4.0. Both times it has happened when the tablet is laying flat on a table and is not being used. What I would expect is for it to eventually go to sleep, but about every 4 minutes the tablet reboots and the boot animation is shown. When this starts happening it reboots every 4 minutes religiously until the tablet is manually powered off an back on. If I pickup the tablet and start using it the reboot does not happen. As usual, this is not a complaint. Just an observation. I thought it might be related to Widget Locker being installed, but I removed that and the reboots still happen.
[G Tablet General] erraskey:
Me too. 4.0 worked great for 3+ days, then Market problem. I went back this morning and repartitioned, wiped everything and started over. Still running 4.0, so I'll see how long Market lasts this time ... I did not repartition when I first loaded 4.0, so there could have been some remnants hanging around.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
reboot option

Roebeet, in your next update can you include an option to reboot the system? It beets playing with the on off button so much. Don't know if the gtab firware will allow for that.

thanks
[G Tablet General] nbowes:
Flashed 4.0, immediately flashed the data2loop removal, wiped data, cleared cache, reset.

Did both the wipe cache/force close market fix and the fingerprint/build.prop fix. Neither stick, as we've seen.

But can I just mention...I haven't lost any media off the sd2 at all with this build!

There has been one time so far that I had to go in specifically to tell the WiFi to reconnect to an already-known network.

I had once that the tablet reset to the "Android" screen. But I was holding it in portrait at the time and am not sure if I rested the power button on my lap. I was using Dolphin Browser at the time and it was having an issue trying to type terms into the search field on this website, so it may have been the browser that crashed.

I have to say that 4.0 is pretty stable and snappy.

How widespread is this market issue? Are Vegan users having the problem too? I didn't see anything on that board about it.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Install reboot widget from the market
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'd like that, as well. :) requires some framework alterations, I think.

It's still speculation - the theory is that the data2loop change is causing data corruption over time, and the Market fix is sensitive to that. So, you might not see the issue right away.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Well it won't happen again because it is not built in to the rom anymore. You couldn't just go to the market and update it because it kept you stuck on a web browser screen and wouldn't let you navigate. It was really an annoying stubborn way to notify you that it had expired. That was just one example. There are others and you should not have to pull an old apk out of a rom just to update it if the program is already in the market. Just add what is needed to make the rom work, and then let folks add what they like later. That's my wish...
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
I agree with you completely as I had a similar problem with a another app but I am running a Gingerbread rom on my D1 right now (very alpha lol) and it doesn't install Gtalk. GTalk is nowhere in the market so I'm using something else. Lets not completely strip the rom down to nothing.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
That was an error by the LauncherPro dev, and he apologized for it. Doesn't really ease the headache too much, but he was good to see him take up responsibility so quicly.

edit: whoops, I see this has been addressed before my comment.
[G Tablet General] bkbrod:
Well, I spoke to soon. Market is broken. :confused:
[G Tablet General] nbowes:
I'd be excited to give 4.1 a test whirl when you're ready.
[G Tablet General] bkbrod:
I quoted the wrong post above. :rolleyes:
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Well, it's why I pulled it. Sorry about that! If anything else, this tells me that pulling it was a good idea.

EDIT: I just called CS and they are saying that 3338 is the latest (which makes sense). As for a new version other than that UAT, possibly not until the EO the month. WTH??
[G Tablet General] dgondrez:
no probs with 4.0.0

I have been running 4.0.0 and no probs with market. Only problem I have is some sites do not recognize flash that is installed. I had this with every version since 2.1. Most things play other sites do not recognize it. Thanks for your hard work.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I've been running 4.0 also since 5 minutes after Roe posted it. Market works perfect (just downloaded Word Helper do I can cheat on Wordsmith - shhh!). This rom hasn't burped once.

As for your flash issue, I ran into that also. I believe it is AdFree that is causing the problem. Whenever I go to TV.Com and some other flash sites I need to revert the hosts. When I'm done I just rerun the program (to kill the ads on Angry Birds).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I pulled out adfree from TnT Lite starting with 3.0(?) because of issues like that. Again, less is more -- let the user decide.

I am pretty sure I will make a 4.1.0 in the next 24 hours - just a 4.0 with the data2loop removed (calling it 4.1.0 vs. 4.0.1 since it sticks with the versioning -- minor revisions are full images). I am NOT waiting 2 weeks for an update from TnT.
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
Don't think the problems are caused by 3452. I have been running it with the Google Apps for Tegra ( uses old market, so I still get rateings ) from cyanomod site. Both Market fixes ( partial and build.prop ) worked fine and have stuck. Pulled HTC and dialer APKS. Reinstalled apps with TiBack, and all is well.

Now, hope I didn't jinx my setup.

But, a 4.1 build based off 3452 shouldn't be the source of any problems.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think 3452 is bad at all, agreed. I think data2loop is the issue -- so much so that I feel comfortable making a TNTL 4.1.0 around 3452.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Any chance of 4.1.0 have a fixed market (stars)? Otherwise, I may investigate MarkF001's suggestion of the old Market since it seems to be compatible with 4.0 and I like the ratings.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm actually looking into that, now. I've tried every version of 2.2.6 / 7 that I could find, and none of them fix the stars. I'm trying a different tactic now, which is to go back to an old version and then let it auto-update. If this doesn't work, then I am all out of ideas and would welcome any input.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yep! Your tablet will now melt and have smoke pour out too:)

But I do agree. These things can be very stable if you get them setup right. I have had really good luck with vegaN Beta 5.1... And now that I say that my tablet will melt too...:eek:
[G Tablet General] proneck321:
Screen orientation

Is there any way to get the screen to stay in landscape mode when the tablet is on a level surface? didnt see any such settings.... running 3.1.4 again ( my favorite so far, especially with the accel. fixes)
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Roe,even though I stopped google sync, today was the second day for market being stable and I thoght I was on to something, but once again I had to re fix market as it reverted back again. It must not be google sync as I thought it might. As my sig shows, I am running 3.12 and having market problems only in the past week. It is not isolated to 4.0
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
Roebeet, still running 3.1.4 and had my first market bork today. It went back to the "accept" screen and I had to redo the market fix. Something other then the ROM's is going on with the market, granted this is the first time with new market but I never had a problem like this with the old market.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I got a Pandigital Novel 2 days ago (was so cheap I couldn't resist) and I've been having nothing but trouble with the Market on it - in that case, it's forcing the new Market almost immediately. I wonder if there's a relationship and what's going on with our devices?

I have 3.1.4 right with the old Market, trying to get it to update (so far, it hasn't). Maybe GTAB + new Market = borked in the last few days. Not sure.

I might even put the old Market back, in 4.1.0. Depends on what I see in the next day or two. So far, it's working on multiple reboots.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I actually prefer the old Market to the new one.

On another note, Roe have you played with Vpad Clean3.0? It has the best File Manager app I've seen. I know you like to keep TNT as close to stock as possible so I'm certainly not asking you to incorporate it but would you happen to know how I could get and install it in this rom?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I haven't seen it -- is it in one of the other mods, or some other device?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
It's in this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=853310

Unbelievably cool app.
[G Tablet General] Mikeg1969:
Mine has survived multiple reboots as well. Just weird that I had the sudden market reset.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yep, I've seen it - it's been in zPad since Day One, I think.

I might add it, actually - I already altered the File Manager to the VEGAn one, as I really wanted to toss ES File Manager. So it's not like it would be any different than what I've already done. :)

I pulled out ES because it's in the Market, and it does gets updates (and fairly often).
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
If it is the one I'm thinking of it is a nice app but I wasn't a big fan of the video, music, etc buttons on the bottom. Never could figure out what they needed to work right.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I have to take another look. It was "OK", from what I recall.

I added iFileManager to TNT Lite mainly because it was fast and simple, no frills. There are a gazillion File Managers out there, but iFileManager does what I need it to do. We're never going to agree on a FM.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
We will if you just agree with me, mmmmkay? :D Kidding!

*drops head, smirks and slinks away*
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Haha.. I know. I like ES File Explorer and instantly hide the other ones:) It doesn't matter what's in there to me as I can just rip out and choose what I like...
[G Tablet General] booge3211:
how do i know what version of tntlite im running and what supplement to add?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Settings -- About Tablet.

4.0.0 was pulled - if you have that version, I would just leave it as is, for now.

3.1.0 + the 3.1.4 supplement is the "latest" non-pulled version, right now.
[G Tablet General] Fuzzy John:
Is there a trick to make iFileManager network aware?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not to my knowledge, which is fine by me. Again, light and functional for the base build.

Apps like Astro have that functionality.

Repartition, Full-Meal-Deal 4.0 Reinstall

Yesterday (early) I repartitioned, reflashed 4.0, did all the usual fixes. Borked by 1800, with MANY fc's - completely unstable. Back to 3.14 until 4.1 ...

Despite this being a PITA still way better than anything else out there (and more fun too!)
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
Both my GTabs are humming along with v4.0, no issues since Saturday despite heavy use. No lag, high quad scores and no market issues to speak of.

Is there an app out there that will give you the current partition sizing, free space and other useful data ? Thanks.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
I've been running the new market for many days. no issues yet...
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
My question, how do you guys check quadrant scores? What do I need to download to test my Gtab?

Edit - Never mind. Dumb question. Just found it on Market. Should have just looked. But what about my comment below? Wow, 2533. Not bad.

I'm still on 2.4 since I've been pretty happy with it. It's been solid for me since I was able to install it correctly. I'm sure 3.1.4 has some good stuff that I don't know about, but don't realy know what that might be, even after reading page 1 I'm not sure. Anyway....thanks for this great rom, great XDA site, and to Viewsonic for making a hackable unit.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You can just download Quadrant from the Market. It's probably not the most accurate tool since it skips the CPU tests, but it's better than nothing.
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
Roebeet, I'm not sure it skips the CPU tests. If you hold the tablet in portrait while Quadrant is running it does update the cpu tests as it goes along. It also does not FC. You probably know way more about Quadrant than I do, but portrait does show the tests running.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've had spotty access with the CPU tests - I thought that custom kernels allowed it to work sometimes, but I could never pin it down.
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
Is the LAN working properly on the DS-A002 dock? Changelog says a fix was added, but I couldn't find a post where it was confirmed working normally. What happens when a gtab with an existing wifi connection is docked? Does the LAN override the wifi connection? Thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
There was a fix, that's correct. I have the dock and tested it myself (with the WiFi off). The problem was that there's connectivity, but the port didn't assign a DNS server so name resolution was all messed up.

I haven't tried it with both on, tbh. I would assume that one would probably just override the other.

Market Fix Wont work in TnT Lit 4.0

Every time reboot the device I need to accept the license agreement in market and fix wont work. Also I install beautiful widget backgrounds and after I restart it's gone. I need to reconfigure every time. Also clock didn't update when it goes to sleep mode. I need to know the problem is in TnT 4.0 Rom? But the thing is 4.0 is more faster than 3.1.4. I can feel it when I am working. Can anyone help me?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
4.0.0 was pulled - one of the reasons was stability issues that seem to affect the Market, over time.

I'm going to have a 4.1.0 this week that should fix that, but removes the speed bump (looks like we can't have both).
[G Tablet General] ndgayan:
Actually what is the reason?

I think only problem in market and didn't save configuration data in apps. I think 3.1.4 is way slower than 4.0. We want that speed. We are appreciate u'r hard work.
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
4.0 Broken Market

I just broke my market for the 3rd time. Two times it was broken by connecting the usb cable and activating the usb copy option. The first time I fully activated the usb copy and copied some files. The most recent time I received the warning that some apps may be using the sdcard (I don't recall the exact verbage), and I cancelled the usb connect. I think you only get this message the first time you connect via usb. I immediately went into the market and started getting force closes. I then restarted and the market is toast.

I think I forwarded this theory once to Roebeet, but he could not replicate it. If you do not want your market broken I would be cautious of using the usb connect option. It probably will not break it every time, but it has broken my market multiple times. If you are feeling adventurous backup your machine and play around with plugging/unplugging usb.
[G Tablet General] proneck321:
For the short time I was running 4.0 quadrant would skip cpu tests, do all of the others,

then do CPU tests last

... I actually got more than one score over 3200, but many FC's also. Back on 3.1.4 and getting normal 2300-2500
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I've got a dirty secret too, I picked up another one too, but didn't quite as good of a deal as the nearby Kohls didn't have any, so I used a 20% off, $5 off and $30 mail in rebate from BBB... got a v2 this time around.... [EDIT] I'd forgotten how annoying not having clockwork mod is... [/EDIT]

I'd been using 4.0 since Sunday morning IIRC, and didn't have any problems w/market still working or anything else other than the loopback. A few weeks back I had an acore FC problem and my quick solution was revert to a backup since I really couldn't get anything going w/o a FC popping up.

[EDIT2]

I decided to switch back to 3.1.4 after seeing that roebeet pulled 4.0 yesterday(well Sunday evening, but I didn't see it until yesterday morning), but never got around to it until this afternoon, and haven't checked market again yet but it should be good... (was busy trying out some PDN fws which is more work if you care about preserving your setup... which is where the no clockwork mod comment comes in... makes life so simple on devices with it...)

[/EDIT2]
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think we might be hitting a fork in the road, soon - I've been reading the data2loop thread, and some of the recent work with ext4. Sounds promising.

But again, how this will translate to TnT Lite is going to be very tough. We'd need to redo /data, use a new clockworkmod and have a customized kernel - there's no way that's going to happen on TnT Lite. The VEGAn build, on the other hand, I can see as an option for all of this. It's more for cutting edge / development stuff.

We might not see the performance gains in TnT Lite 4.1.0 , like we did with 4.0.0. But that doesn't mean you can't further mod it on your own - it's just not going to be in the base package.

I'm still testing the old Market - so far, I can't get it to auto-update. rrrrr.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
That's not a bad thing ;) The new Market is pretty and all but it doesn't 'do' anything more than the old one, it's just lipstick on a pig, you know? :)
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
TNT Lite 4.0 Possible Market fix

I may have come up with a procedure to fix the broken market issue in tnt lite 4.0. I tried a lot of things, but I think this procedure is what finally fixed it. All of the credit for this fix (If it also works for you) goes to GoJimi. He is the technical brains behind what I put together. I could not have done it without his knowledge.

As always, if this further borks your already borked device don't blame me. Backup first! All of the commands below use adb. You may also be able to use root explorer or other tools to do the same thing. Also keep in mind that the paths and files are case sensitive (I think!).

1. Force Stop Market and Google Service Framework

2. Using adb rename the following folders with a .old extension. I prefer renames to deletes because I found that deletes do not always truly delete the folder.

adb remount

adb shell mv /data/data/com.android.vending /data/data/com.android.vending.old

adb shell mv /data/data/com.android.vending.updater /data/data/com.android.vending.updater.old

adb shell mv /data/data/com.google.android.gsf /data/data/com.google.android.gsf.old

3. Using adb run the following to pull the Market and Google Framework .apk’s down to your local machine.

adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk

adb pull /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

4. Using adb delete the following files from your tablet.

adb shell rm /system/app/Vending.apk

adb shell rm /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

5. Reboot the tablet. Unplug the USB cable.

6. When the tablet comes back plug in the USB cable and use the following adb commands to push the .apk’s back to the tablet

adb remount

adb push Vending.apk /system/app/Vending.apk

adb push GoogleServicesFramework.apk /system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk

7. Reboot the tablet. Unplug the USB cable.

When the tablet comes back up run the Market. It should prompt you to enter your Google user ID and password just like it did the first time you ran the market. Enter your info and complete the wizard. You should now have the limited market. Now perform whatever market fix you usually do to get the “nearly complete” market.

I have noticed that I do get occasional “Retry/Cancel” boxes when in the market. Perhaps this will settle down with time. I'm still looking into it further.
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
So...my market just died...after 4 days? So, do I go back to 3.1.4 or live without market till 4.1?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm testing 4.1.0, right now. It's coming soon. No more data2loop. :)
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I don't think it is going to matter. I am running vegaN and my market has just started acting squirrelly. I think they are doing something to keep us lowly wifi only tablet users away..
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
That is going to be a full install with wipe data or a supplement? And thank you either way.
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
I agree. About 30 minutes ago the market started acting stranger than usual. Perhaps they are messing with the market. I would just be patient and see if it comes back.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
I have a completely stock tablet with ONLY the Performance Pack applied. I am also getting this retry thing..

Has anyone tried changing the fingerprint to a different string in the build.prop?
[G Tablet General] satishraman:
I downgraded mine to 3.1.4 and tried to install Launcher Pro, but the market says "Retry, or Cancel and return to the previous screen". Is it that I am only getting it by any chance?
[G Tablet General] racedog:
Been running 4.1 since last weekend with no problems - until now. Market won't come up but its telling me that there's a problem with the network (there's no problem with my network). Saw above that someone thought there might be a problem with the market itself. I'll try again later and see if it up or if I'm just the next one to lose their market with 4.1.

[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
I just hit retry several times and my market it back up now. Maybe they fixed it?

But after going back to 3.14 I can no longer find Rock Player in the market.
[G Tablet General] ndgayan:
After Server Error Occurred - Help Meeeeeeeee

I did that and after Server error has occurred message displaying when I open market. Do u have any solution for that?
[G Tablet General] maxxgraphix:
market on TNT4

I upgraded from TNT 3.14. Market got that Server Error. I didn't think much of it since we have been having problems with the market anyway. I had already changed build.prop to reflect a Samsung.

So to fix the error, I force stopped the market and cleared the cache. Then using Titanium Backup cleared cache on Google Framework. Rebooted and the not so full market was back.

Lag after reboot seems to be solved on this version also. :)

Nice work, if it wasn't for the devs here at XDA the gtab would have been returned to VS.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I think you may be right. That may be why the "upgrade" to the new market so they could throw some blockers out there
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Confirm the Market issue: just hit retry a few times (at least 4 each time); I'm having the same issue on my Moment (tambouROM with inxane0.6.2) when I tried to update but not install new apps. Does anyone have a "stock" Android phone who can confirm this Market issue?
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
I traced my tabs's bootloop back to flashing the "data2loop" over 3.1.4 (last Friday); it was flying for about 12 hours after initial flash, then after a full overnight shutdown did not wanna boot back up. And that's when I also learned that the newest version of CWM (2.5.1.8, installed by RomManager) does not like to restore backups done by my old one (2.5.1.1-08): "Magic Number Missmatch" error.

Thank goodness for nvflash and our devs for great guides and ROM's! Like many said, without them this tabs will collecting dust on store shelves.
[G Tablet General] RichTJ99:
I have an Evo & I cant find rockplayer in the market either. I am running cyanogenmod 6.1.2.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
Verifying that hitting retry starts the market working again. I would say that this looks suspicious. On my rooted but otherwise stock dx the market is ok.

[G Tablet General] jmdearras:
I saw the same thing. Even my DInc had problems with market for a few minutes.
