Problem!!!

Well never had a problem with these roms.....but My 4.0 market finally gave out so i decided to upgrade to 4.2

wiped data/cache

backed up

mounted data/cache

then installed upgrade.zip from sd card

(which is in the internal memory under ROMs)

when it locates it, it starts unpacking then says (file bad) with the android and exclamation point in the background.

I am able to reboot back to 4.0........downloaded tnt4.2 again just to make sure the file i had before wasnt corrupted, and same results!!!

Any Ideas????
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
X2 on market... flashed 4.2 over 4.1 with /cache wipe only (same path as always) and market is limited. Going to try the market fix. It feels faster though.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Are you using "apply sdcard:update.zip" ? If so then the file your installing must be named "update.zip" and it must be on the root of the internal sdcard.

If you use "install zip from sdcard" then you can put it where ever you want on the internal sdcard and it can be named anything .zip.

Roebeet sometimes packages his roms as *.rar which needs to be "unrar"ed first.

There is no need to mount data/cache.

Make a full backup

Wipe data/cache

Flash new rom

Reboot
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Correct. TnT Lite will most likely be a .rar long-term, as I do that to visually show that it's NOT a zip file. You have to extract it.

The reason why I still do this is for support for the non-cwm users.
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
yes i use install zip from sdcard..................when i download tnt4.2 i extract update.zip.....I make sure it is name update.zip.(I have flashed these roms before, these has never happened) I put in on the internal SD under ROMS

when i am in CWM I go to install zip from sdcard......navigate to ROMs....navigate to update.zip then it opens it and i get the error
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Try pointing to the update.zip manually. Does it even start to run?
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Ok. Full market fix and reboot, still no apps, not even all purchased, only about half of them. Followed roebeets advice and installed random app, and magically all installed apps re-populated. Never seen that before, but I know Google did something with the market recently so that could explain this.

Great job again Mr.Roebeet, very solid ROM, once again!
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
Do you mean just opening it up in windows?? If thats what you mean yea it opens i am able to look at the files (boot.img, system.img........)
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
So...about this new keyboard...is it part of 4.2.0?
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Linpack 37.69

Quad. 2389

both on average of 3 runs.

It definitely feels snappier, like when data2loop first came out.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
In clockworkmod, use the other sdcard option to manually choose the zip file to run. Sorry, should have been more specific.

I always do this, even if the update.zip is on the root of the device.

No, it's not. I just happened to find a GB keyboard apk that finally seemed to work fairly well.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
is anyone else getting lots of google services framework crashes?

pretty sure this is due to calendar syncing. i'm using the calendar pad widget and everytime my wifi reconnects, i get lots of crashes. crashes a few times and then it stops. i'm guessing thats when its finished syncing. also getting crashes when signing into google talk.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
If you're loading the update.zip and the recovery folder to the sd card you inserted and not the emmc internal memory, you have to edit the command text to point to SDCARD2. Make sure it looks like this:

--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip

That will fix it.
[G Tablet General] aboad20:
do you release Source code for this ROM ?

I want to make some changes on libwebcore.so

thank you in advance
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
I actually put "update.zip" in sdcard(internalmem) in a folder called "ROMs" and I point to that when i boot to CWM .......could it be something else??
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
So I manually chose where the file was under sdcard in a file named ROMS I chose "update.zip" it asked me to chose no or yes-install update.zip?....so I chose yes.....and then it says " --Installing: SDCARD:ROMs/update.zip

Finding update package........

Opening update package......

E:Can't open /sdcard/ROMs/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted."

Thats what it says and goes back to the CWM menu!!
[G Tablet General] japhule:
Is the "recovery" folder also present with your update.zip file in the Roms folder?

You should have

/sdcard/Roms/update.zip

/sdcard/Roms/recovery/command

Have you tried re-downloading the rar file? Are you downloading/extracting from pc and transfering to gtab?

I've downloaded directly from gtab, use androzip to extract and then install and have had no issues.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
OK, this may be seem odd, but eject the SD card and reinsert it. I had a problem where the card would be found in Root Explorer, and would show up in USB transfer on my desktop, but for some reason it wasn't found by Clockwork Mod. Ejecting and reseating it solved it for me.
[G Tablet General] dwkennedy:
I did until I went back and did the factory reset that I tried to get away with not doing :)

I also got FCs on the GB keyboard, because I had a version installed already.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Sounds as good as any other plan! Also, to the OP you might want to check that the ZIP is not corrupt.

This is all Viewsonic code - they released source a few weeks back (check their support site).
[G Tablet General] DeathCry:
I thought, if using cwm to update the recovery folder was unnecessary. Should the folder be there anyway?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You don't need it in cwm.
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
Keyboard crashing

I justed updated to 4.2 last night and anything the tries to use the keyboard or calls the keyboard and I see the keyboard has crashed. I'm not sure where to start with getting help and fixing this problem
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Could be the Gingerbread kb (I had this issue on VEGAn). Try to change the input -- go to the search app, long hold on the dialog box and then change the input method to TnT.

I had not seen this issue on mine, but then again I did a full wipe when I was testing, as I always do.
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
I dont think i need the recovery folder on the internal drive since i am using CWM.

I have tried downloading from both links, and i extract the "update.zip" from the .rar file and then i load it on the a usb jump drive......access that through my file mgr on the g-tab and transfer it from the usb to /sdcard/ROMs
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
Would that even matter since i am not dealing with the external sdcard at all?? All i am using is the usb jump drive and i transfer the "update.zip" file from the usb to /sdcard/ROMs/ on the internal sdcard.......at no time do i ever mess with the external sdcard..........???
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
Yea i tried downloading from both links and I get the same problem, has to be something on my end....but like i said i have flashed several times (3.14, supplement, kernals, 4.0) so i dont know whats going on i m not doing anything different.

could it have to do with that i am upgrading from 4.0 and the data2loop could have something to do with it???
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
might have to repartition 2048/0 in CWM. Then reflash.
[G Tablet General] aboad20:
Can you please give me the link ?

because I found Kernal source code , but I don't found Firmware code

Please help me
[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
The kernel source; I think you've already found this: http://tapntap.http.internapcdn.net/tapntap/viewsonic/gTablet-TapUI-1.1-Kernel-Patch.zip -- I am not sure about the firmware source code.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
They built off the Tegra Git, if I'm not mistaken.
[G Tablet General] aboad20:
I think I found it

http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/

is that right ?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Very possible. Do a data wipe or, even better, an SD repartition.
[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
Yes, I see that pershoot and clemsyn are building their kernels from:

http://nv-tegra.nvidia.com/gitweb/
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
So eventhough my tab is NOT stuck in a bootloop (I can still reboot) I should do a SD repartition right??

So do a datawipe/factory reset then do a SD repartition.......what settings do i use for the repartition?.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I would recommend it - data2loop was a nice experiment, but it was definitely very "hacky". I eventually re-partitioned my card to fully extract it.
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
I only see Android Keyboard listed when I attempt that
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You're on 4.2, correct? Check Settings -- Language and Keyboard. You should see the Android and TapNTap Western Keyboard. If the latter is there and unchecked, plug in a USB keyaboard, then go out and back in and check TnT kb (and uncheck the other one, if you want to).

I've wiped repeatedly and ran this, and no issues with the kb (yet). I might even add the Adam one in a supplement, soon.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
OK.. is it just me or is vertical viewing much improved?

I just tried checked out the tablet in vertical mode and it seem A LOT better. Like night and day better. I can read stuff without it driving my eyes crazy? I'm assuming this has to do with the increased refresh rates.

So I'm I crazy?
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
Nope, no luck only see the Android keyboard...the TapNTap Western Keyboard seems to be missing. Is there a file I can get to reinstall it?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I like the look of the Adam KB, is there a way to get it on TNTLite 4.2? I see gojimi has posted the ported KB but I thought they couldn't easily be installed in this rom.
[G Tablet General] MarkF001:
They do work on TnT based ROMs. Try installing the APK, if you can't select it in 'system' and don't see it as a choice after a long press on an input/input method; then move the APK to /system and reboot. After restart, retry long press on input, input method, and it will show up as a choice.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Can I load this and if I don't like it, go back to my backed up stock+performance pack build?
[G Tablet General] reisa:
So long as you're rooted, and have a nandrod backup (same kind of thing as a disc image in Windows) it shouldn't be a problem. Root - install Clockwork Mod - backup your system - flash the new ROM. If you don't like it - boot into recovery, go to "backup and restore", and restore you original image.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Hmm... tried all that just now and no dice. I can see it in the Keyboard section but can't select it. I then moved the keyboard.apk to /system as you suggested, rebooted and nothing. I installed again from within /system, rebooted and nothing. It never shows up under long press, input selection. Anything else I can try?
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
I don't see any checkboxes in this settings area...just arrows that take me to the specific settings for either keyboard. Using a previous post of yours to use the search app and long hold the input area was how I was able to choose Android keyboard or TnT Western Keyboard, kind of a weird way to select which keyboard to use right?
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Should I wipe cache and data before I load it also?? If so, how do I do that,

and will I lose my backups if I do that?
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Haven't gone through the last 3 pages but, all they were required to release was the kernel source per GPL, and they did so.

For some other things you can try the nVidia source.

TnT will never be released as it's proprietary closed source unless they do something smart and open source it just to save it from oblivion.

4.2.0: installed last night, had to fix market by clearing cache on market, force close then clear data on Google services framework then force close then reboot. Just downloading a new application didn't work for me, also cleared cache after installing.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
You should always wipe data/cache when changing roms.

Its in the menu in clockwork recovery

It wont wipe your backups
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Even though the backups are on the internal Sdcard?

Sorry I am sort of a noobie.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
BTW, I am not on a rom now. I am on Tnt stock with the performance pack,

so would I still want to wipe data and cache.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
The backups will be saved on an your SD card, and won't be lost when switching between ROMS. They "live outside" the info that's written over during a wipe. Robeet recommends a data & cache wipe - so I'd listen to him. When you move between different ROMS a full wipe is always recommended. I have updated TnT Lite from one version to another without a wipe, and had no problems - but there's no guarantee. Having Clockwork Mod will fix you up if you do run into any issues.

Here's a link to some instructions elsewhere in the forums:

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

Very straightforward - I reference them each time I install.

You can backup and reinstall your apps & app data using Titanium Backup from the Market. Just don't reinstall "System data" or it could mess up the install.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
You are on the TnT rom with the performance pack added. When changing roms ALWAYS wipe data/cache. Wipe data/cache does not delete your backups. It wipes the system data (apps for example). It doesn't wipe anything from the 14Gb of user space on the internal sdcard. This is where your backups are stored.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It works -- my prototype has it. The problem is that you need to add it to /system via something like an adb push.

I think the 60 frame buffer bump makes a difference as well, that's why I added it. I don't think it's placebo.

It's in /system, so I don't see how they could have disappeared. If you have adb or root explorer, check for the existence of thse two files:

/system/app/TapNTapIME.apk

/system/lib/libjni_tapntapime.so

Those are the files for the TnT keyboard.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I just copied to /system with Root Explorer but that didn't work. If you are going to release a 4.2.1 or something with it already in there I'll just wait until then. Thanks Roe...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Testing a 4.2.1, now. I just want to make sure the Tegra drivers aren't causing any issues (grabbed some newer ones that seem to help with tearing - specifically in the Settings app). I might release it tonight.
[G Tablet General] LuisB3:
Thanks Roebeet...u da man!
[G Tablet General] PsychoJon:
They are still there, In case it helps the exact process crashing is com.android.inputmethod.latin
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Vertical does appear better. Less of the reddish 3D effect when looking straight on.

Roeby,

What is different with 4.21? Also, is it a supplement or new ROM?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Loading it up, now. Quick changelog:

- Updated Nvidia drivers. Definitely corrects the tearing in the Settings app. Might help in other areas.

- Adam Sniffer app added, and their keyboard. That Sniffer app is pretty awesome.

I think that's the Gingerbread keyboard. Suggest a data wipe, or at least disable it (connect a USB keyboard, then go into Settings -- Keyboard and uncheck the Android keyboard device. That effectively disables it). You need to connect a USB keyboard as that ungreys the checkboxes.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
How does this rom work? Do I install 4.20 first and then load 4.2.1 ontop?
[G Tablet General] mcampbe:
Exactly don't wipe just flash ontop
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

TnT Lite 4.2.1 installed flawlessly. Thanks again for a great rom!!!
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
One more question. In CWM, before I flash to this rom, I do wipe data/factory rest right?? And do I also then do wipe cache partition? Or just the data/factory rest.
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
Just start CWM...check that system and data are mounted then install zip from sdcard...no wiping. Then reboot, wait patiently for your desktop to come up and voila! it is done.

This is a supplement, simply copying files from the zip to the device to update and add files. Much less than a full install and does not need any data cleared.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
I should have stated that I am coming from a different rom. I am not running TnT 4.2.0 yet. So before I flash to 4.2.0, do I need to do both the wipe data/factory reset, and the wipe cache partition, or just the wipe data/factory reset
[G Tablet General] jcarlospr:
+1. This is awesome
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
Do both the wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache. If you are going that far, I always wipe dalvik and battery data too for good measure. Also, if you have not already repartitioned to 2048/0 for an earlier ROM then you should probably do that now as well.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
How do I repartition it?

I am running stock Tnt with the performance pack.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Seriously.....your really not capable of finding any answers?

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Between the full updates, a data wipe is always a good idea (4.0.0, 4.1.0. 4.2.0 etc). And between different ROMs is definitely a good idea. But you shouldn't have to do a data wipe with a supplement.

The supplement is just some files between tacked on - usually a very minor update. As for data wipes, in clockworkmod a data wipe also does a cache wipe.
[G Tablet General] iWeasel410:
I updated from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1 and Settings has been force closing. I've repartitioned and wiped before install 4.2.0 a couple days ago. Does anyone else have this issue after updating?
[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
So after many problems and after repartition i finally was able to update to 4.2.1 along with the supplement......though after doing the market update....I notice that some of the menu buttons dont work or they do something different. For example the menu button(on screen and on tab) doesnt bring up the menu it takes me to the home page along with the search button.

The only button that seems is mapped correctly is the back button, my power button will not bring up the menu to turn my tab of, it just takes me to my home page, to turn off my tab i have to hold the power button down and even then it only restarts.

Any ideas? Or anybody else having problems with their buttons being remapped??
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Using 4.1......I noticed that with Instant Radar, the app gives me an error,

"Location Settings Disabled. To determine your location, you must enable 'Use Wireless Networks' in Location Settings"

If you tap Settings it takes you to the G Tablet Security Settings page, where there are no options for Wifi location position fix. I never had this in 2.4. It would just work. Just wondering if there is a way to set your location permanently, because I have a few other apps that try to use a GPS fix to operate, and they don't seem toi be able to use the WiFi location for a position fix.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
The Settings app was probably the app I tested the most on 4.2.1, as I could replicate tearing there at will (and fixed in 4.2.1). So I definitely couldn't replicate it, myself.

That's really bizarre - it sounds consistent that the soft buttons and tactile buttons are all changed, but I can't explain it. Could it be an app that was installed, post-market? Just taking a guess.
[G Tablet General] brwatters:
I am seeing force close in settings as well with 421
[G Tablet General] kampf:
Just trying this one out now after using VEGAn, BitTrix, and CM7 B01.

Nice, clean, and well-tested.

I got this thing to use as a video player...well that's a really good excuse, and I hope that I can get it working better with TnT than I did with VEGAn.

So far so good. Just backed up a fresh install after Market fix.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
updated to 4.2.1 with no issues whatsoever. settings work fine. buttons all work the way they're supposed to. no crashes.

sniffer app is cool but it can't play videos. doesn't seem like it can run anything from that app actually, which makes it pretty much useless for me. shame too, because it is fast and is able to explore all the folders and see all files like a file explorer. even has cut, copy, paste, etc. makes no sense that it can't run files.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I could play a few videos, but it depended on the container - ie Xvid AVI's work.

I tested this again last night. I had the following results:

- 4.2.1 backup, then a restore via nvflash (I do this as its faster when I need a quick restore). Music and Settings apps definitely FC'd on me.

- 4.2.0 clean install (update.zip), then 4.2.1. No FC's.

- Data wipe, then ran 4.2.1 again. No FC's.

I'm still watching this, but I can't quite replicate it yet. I'm guessing that it's possible one of the Nvidia libraries, but I can't say for sure. 4.2.1 has very few changes but I'm hesitant to pull it if I can't replicate the issue.

Going to try my nvflash restore again today and then see if there's anything in logcat. If anyone with the issues can see anything in logcat as well, that would be a big help.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I am thinking of reverting back to the most stable version of v3.xx. Still having market issues, cannot delete accounts, dev apps tool force closes, still unable to switch keyboards, soft home button is broken again. Not complaining although it may sound like that. I did a complete wipe and reformat/repartition, but that doesn't help.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Sorry to hear that. It's strange how the results vary like this.

Generally, 4.x (except for 4.0.0) seems to be fairly stable. But 3.x is obviously a different animal -- older kernel, older TnT base.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
No worries. I've learned a lot and I really appreciate all the hard work you've put into this. I'm not really sure why I'm having any issues with it and why issues aren't consistent across the board. I really like the form factor of the device and Android which is why I keep sticking with it.
[G Tablet General] astevens54:
4.2.1 has been VERY stable for me.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Should I just try to wipe everything, reformat and reinstall again? I figure I'm going to have to do it again if I go back to 3.1.4 anyway, I guess one more time wouldn't hurt.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Always worth a try, imo.
[G Tablet General] ozzynyc:
Roebeet, dude.....AMAZING work. rock solid, clean and fast. Thanks sir!!!
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
I've been running this rom for a day now and I like it... fast and smooth! but for some reason the browser crashes if I try to download something? Tried the stock and the Adam browser... kind of a bummer. Any solutions?
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
I use the "My Fake Location" app from the market...it is pretty cool. You can put yourself anywhere in the world with it. There is no Location Services functionality at all on TnTLite, via network or GPS.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I'm surprised there are no locational services since I thought that even if your device doesn't have GPS, you could be geolocated to a good degree simply off your wifi. This little precis explains how it works:

[G Tablet General] psycotix82:
Well thanks for the advice......these things are really amazing........its weird how its sometimes hit or miss with these things and you just have re flash a couple of time to iron out any problems.....and thats what i did and everything seems to work perfectly......THANKS!!!!
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I just wanted to say thanks again to Roebeet. I just flashed up to 4.2.1 and now after doing the quick market fix, I have my market back the way it was. This rom is also very snappy and responsive, IMHO. :-D Awesome work!!!
