Yes, it also happens on Vegan Tab.

Do you want me to screen shot it for you (even though it means i have to reflash ) grrr!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nah, I believe you - what's interesting is that it also happens on the VEGAn build.

Maybe a calibration? That's the only thing I can think of. Or, if that fails, try stock. Because if it happens in stock too, there could be some underlying issue at hand - perhaps not hardware, but maybe the partition table or some other low-level problem.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
do you mean calibration.ini done that, however i dont think i changed the wallpaper after that.

i also just repartitioned 2048/0 on the last install, as i had run CM7 and thought it was wise to make sure everything was re-done.

I will play around and see what i can find for you.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Ok went back to Stock (Worst 7 mins of my life!)

Can change wallpaper with no issues at all - dont end up with double height bar.

Did calibration.ini again

tried Zeam, AWD Launcher and LauncherPro (what i use - but reset to default settings)

It is all launchers.

When i launch any apps, it is the regular size, on homescreen double height.

[G Tablet General] bblackmoor:
I use ADW Launcher on top of Vegan beta 3, and I do not see this behaviour.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You didn't specify if the problem manifested itself with a non-stock launcher in stock TnT. Was that the case?

Regardless, I'm scratching my head on this one. I guess the only other thing I can think of is that TNTL and VEGAn share similar framework changes for the animations (both created by Rothnic). I'm wondering if this is the root cause of your issues, but again I have never seen this.

Btw, I use Launcher Pro.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
roebeet, I am sorry but I didn't check a alternative launcher in Stock - i really couldn't wait to get back to TnTLite :)

I just tried again, and went to CW and cleared cache, just thought worth a shot, still double height.

I really just have to give up, and be grateful that the default wallpaper is good looking enough to keep.

Btw CM7 and ZPadClean - this doesnt happen.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm curious if you tried any Live Wallpapers, and did they have the same effect?
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Live wallpaper works fine

but then when i go back to normal it is double height again.

if i change back to live wallpaper then its correct size again

grrr!

5 nandroid restores and counting :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Still scratching my head on this one! Given that it's happening on both mods, my guess is that it's still something to do with our modded framework files. But, I've never heard of this before now.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
nothing better than being a test case.

The only thing I can think of is that i run LauncherPro in a 6 rows, 7 columns setup.

But as I said, i reverted to a backup (normal height) and reset launcherPro to standard 4x4, then change the wallpaper, and bamo Double Height.

you sure you dont want to see screen caps? - also if anyone knows how to take screenshots on GTab? as every app i use just gives me a black picture.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I replied to your PM. DDMS using ADB. So far none of the screen capture apps work so that's why we use DDMS.
[G Tablet General] khoachino1:
Upgrading from what? 4.0.0? Known issues, because of data2loop. Even if it was something else, my suggestions are the usual ones - clockworkmod, data wipe, fix permissions or lastly the SD repartition (2048/0). That last one will wipe /sdcard and /data, but it will also wipe out the data2loop stuff (which is a good thing).[/QUOTE]

Yea, upgraded from 4.0.0 and now it's just looping to the bootup screen and back to off couple times and then it just shut off. Bad thing is i didnt have clockwork installed on the gtab. I tried using another sd card and put the original TnT on it, but after it installed Tnt, it still does the loop thing. what is the SD repartition you're talking about? and how to? Thanks
[G Tablet General] tguellich:
Market trouble again...

Thank you for the info on the mouse. I could swear I read that it worked, must have been in a vegan thread.

I just decided to get a new app from the market. It is the empty market again! And now when I go into settings to clear cache and delete there is a button for uninstall updates. I tried the fix with those updates in place and I tried removing them. No luck. Anyone else just run into this problem? Running Tntlite 4.1.0

EDIT-I did a restore and now everything is back to normal. I think I have traced it BACK TO Swype. I have installed Swype 2 times on my tablet, both times, within a day, my market craps out. I am going to try it again tonight and try to prove my theory.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Yeah thats mate - responded, as I cant get ADB to work.

I am in no way a new user to ADB etc, but the device simply doesnt appear in device manager, so no way to update the drivers etc.

Stupid question, does it matter which USB port you use?

:edit: ignore - found a solution!
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
By geroge I have solved it.

It only happens when i choose wallpapers from the wallpaper gallery, if i choose my own files from SDcard etc it works fine.

Attached the pic of it showing double height.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
ahhhh it's not double height. It's that wallpaper doesn't fit the screen. You'll see this in portrait as well.

The status bar isn't changing, you're just seeing the black bars around the picture. The picture isn't big enough for our screen. :D

Yea, upgraded from 4.0.0 and now it's just looping to the bootup screen and back to off couple times and then it just shut off. Bad thing is i didnt have clockwork installed on the gtab. I tried using another sd card and put the original TnT on it, but after it installed Tnt, it still does the loop thing. what is the SD repartition you're talking about? and how to? Thanks[/QUOTE]

Basic info is in my first post. One of the (many) reasons why I pulled 4.0.0 is that data2loop is not all that easy to eradicate, and others have had issues upgrading to 4.1.0 because of it. If you don't want to use clockworkmod, then at the very least I would recommend 1) upgrading to 4.1.0 or some other ROM and 2) wipe your user data. the 2nd part is critical because upgrading your ROM doesn't remove all the data2loop remnants. But a data wipe should do it. Hopefully.
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
Well I feel stupid. Sorry guys.
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
This same effect occurs with the TnT news app. The categories added by user are dbl height while the default ones are single.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
How fast does your 4.1.0 rom boot? I had to reflash last night due to sudden onset of FC every few seconds. Ulitmately, I did data wipe, format sd, then for the first time (used to do this on my winmo phone ROMs) I moved all important files off of sdcard2, formatted that, then only moved the few files I wanted at the moment back on the sdcard2.

Everything restored and working fine last night. Booted this morning and I was shocked at how fast it booted up. The sparkle flash screen only lasted about 5 seconds and total boot to home page was just less than 30 seconds. Don't recall it every being that fast. I know that cache is likely not "full" as I only used it for a while last night restoring mail and syncing hundreds of contacts etc.

Do other's boot that quick?
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
I am running tnt-lite 4.1.0. Awesome. It does boots fast. Love this ROM.
[G Tablet General] ksporry:
I wanted to install 4.1.0 (currently running 2.4.0 I believe), but when i start up in clockwork 0.8 and browse to the appropriate folder and run the update.zip file, I get the message:

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

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Why won't it install? Are there some instructions that have been left off? Please explain

thanks
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
is your file a .rar file? If so you have to unrar it with either androzip on the tab or unrar or 7zip on windows. Linux will work out of the box. Or you may have a corrupt download and need to download it again
[G Tablet General] ksporry:
Nope, it's a zip file. I tried renaming the zip file from update.zip to something else, but that didn't do anything.

How can I wipe the whole thing clean and install 4.1.0 fresh? Do I need to repartition? Is there another source I can get the file in case it is a bad file? Note I cannot access megaupload for unknown reasons, so that alternative download source is inaccessible (note: if someone says he/she is able to access it without a problem, that will not help me, because I still am unable to access it... This is caused by inability to access it, resulting in inaccessibility of access. Therefore access is not possible for me.)
[G Tablet General] tguellich:
I can accept inaccessability to access, with exception. Conceptually, the concept of inacceptable innaccessability is unacceptable. Hypothetically. Just sayin';)

Seriously though, you should try to redownload from where you got it before. Sometimes they just come to you corrupt, then the next time it will be good. If that does not work, I can put it in my public Dropbox and give you the direct url when I get home later today. I cannot answer with confidence on whether repartitioning will give you a "clean slate" but I am curious about what exactly a repartition will erase and what it will leave intact.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You don't have to rename it (although it's probably a good idea for cwm users, just so you know what the file actually is later on). The only reason I name it "update.zip" as non-cwm users need it to be called that.

Suggestion: rename it, drop it in a subfolder (I use a "backup" folder) then run it via "install zip from sdcard --- choose zip from sdcard" and then choose the file manually.

As for the file you have from the primary site being possibly corrupted, that's why I supply an md5sum. If you don't know what that is, it's basically a hash of the original file, used to check for file integrity. You can run an md5sum program (built into Ubuntu, freely downloadable on Windows) to verify that the hash on your downloaded file is the same as my source file. If it's the same, then you are good. If it's different, then it's probably corrupted.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
Make sure the recovery text in the recovery folder says this:

--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip

It has to point to SDCARD2.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Roeby,

When do you think we will see 4.2 and that 60hz patch? :)

Any chance for a suppliment, or too many other things involved to be that simple?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Hey guys, Roebeet, to be exact, I have a question for you. Is it possible to write in a command that stops te on screen keyboard from opening up when a USB/BT keyboard is connected?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
4.2.0

Not to my knowledge, but it's an interesting idea. They seem to be independent of one another.

I had considered, but stopped myself for a few reasons:

1- TnT Lite 4.0 and 4.1 are based off of UAT TnT versions. So it's probably best to move off them after 4.2.0 comes out.

2- The file being changed is a bit tricky, from permissions perspective. Do it wrong and the device won't boot up anymore. I was wary adding that to a supplement, but it makes more sense on a full update since it's more of a "major" change, anyway.

3- 3588 is most likely the final. Once we get confirmation of that 4.2.0 is my main focus. I already have a 4.2.0 prototype, going on the assumption that 3588 will be the final.

I beieve the first boot is ~2 minutes, if memory serves (all the apks are being checked and the cache is probably being setup). Post-reboots are more like 45 sec to 1 minute, I believe.
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Thanks for the quick answer! I just wish I knew more about this stuff to attempt it. I am slowly teaching my self this coding stuff. I am on Workers comp and once I get some money coming in I plan on buying a few books on programing languages.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I, for second would like to see that feature added. Would be of a great help.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
FYI, I'm away for most of the weekend

If our friends at VS happen to release 3588 tonight or tomorrow, I'll finalize TNTL 4.2.0 on Sunday. :D
[G Tablet General] drk0524:
pick zip from another folder

I had the same issue. Move the file to another location on SDCARD2 & manually select it.
[G Tablet General] ksporry:
this isn't working. I renamed it and the file effectively is not present...

What do I really need to do?

I renamed it back to update, and the command file is now stating

--update_package=SDCARD2:/update.zip

do I need to copy all the files in the root of the sdcard? will cwm run it from the SDcard or from the internal memory? f the latter, shouldn't I install it in the root of the internal memory?

I don't get it. The first time I installed a custom ROM everything worked exactly like the instructions (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865245) stated, but now nothing seems to go the way it should do...

EDIT:

Ok, finallymanagedto get it to install something, but I'm not sure if it installed from teh internal memory or the sdcard. I just copied the recovery folder and the update.zip file to the sdcard folder and the sdcard2 folder on the gtab.

It seems to startup, and it looks a little different from what I had on there before, so I guess teh installation was successfull...

Thanks guys for putting up with my lack of patience!

:)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
How is comic reading now with the 60hz patch? :)
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
If you are using cwm you dont need the command file. Make sure the file is .zip and not .zip.zip or something odd. CWM only sees the internal sdcard. Either name it "update.zip" exactly and place it on the root of the sdcard and select "apply sdcard:update.zip" or name it whatever you want .zip and select "install zip from sdcard" . If you are using Rom Manager or any other version of clockwork that is not bekit 0.8 you will have problems
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Comon now, nothing better than that? How was your day, today? :)

I'm not sure if it's placebo or not, but it might be a tad better for long term use. The screen angles are obviously the same.
[G Tablet General] Jesse6749:
roebeet - I just got my Gtablet like 2 hours ago and I installed clockwork recovery and backed up the vanilla TnT that came with it. Can I install 4.20 when it is released or should I install one of your other rom versions? I have been using clockwork on my Nexus One for almost a year so I am very familiar with flashing the roms and I wanted to get the Gtablet to root it and customize it just like my N1 LOL!!! Thanks in advance!!

Update: I just went ahead and flashed your 3.1.0 rom and it is running great I love it!!!
[G Tablet General] astevens54:
Has anyone had their g-Tab intermittently rebooting with TnT Lite 4.1? It doesn't happen a lot but is occasional.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I had it happend a couple of times the other day, but thought it was due to memory overload with too many programs running. I had not used task killer and was running remote desktop and other apps. A few times, it just rebooted to animation very quickly and then back to home page.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
Hey roebeet.

Do u have a link for 4.2 test with framerate mod?
[G Tablet General] reisa:
no posts?

Really? It's been nearly 24 hours, and no posts?
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
It's called preoccupation with "J-E-T-S", Sunday.

But also having a solid rom to play with too. Just wish more of my apps thta work on my phone (GPS enabled) worked on this G Tablet. It sucks when it can't find it's location.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I also keep checking here. I'm running 4.1.0 and like the look, feel, and stability. I think most have moved over to the cyanogen 7.0 thread, but that is really not ready for prime time and my gtab needs to be functional along with fun.

I hope we'll see 4.2.o here before long. I know that roebeet will make it a available when he feels its ready.

R
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not yet -- still in a holding pattern until the TnT firmware is (hopefully) released. There's no guarantee that 3588 is the final, especially since it seems to be delayed. 3558, if it's the final, is very similar to 3452 (TnT Lite 4.0.0 / 4.1.0) - just some app apks touched, and the framework files. Same svn 16 kernel.

Man, I am definitely on here waaaaayyyy too much. I was out-of-state this weekend.

JEEEEEEEETTTTSSSS!!!! Been a fan for over 30 years. You can imagine how I feel, right now.

EDIT: OMG, what a painful game to watch. They better turn that around.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Touch down JETS.

Edit....Ah crap, another long, cold, dreary winter, with nothing to show for it, except a great G Tablet with a great rom by Roebeet. Thanks chief.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
**OFF TOPIC***

But let's hope Rex shoved his foot up where the sun don't shine in the JETS defense. It's like they weren't even there in the first half.....

I just didn't want to get yelled at by joining in the convo.

Damn shame. Oh well. Packers and Steelers I guess.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
When we say our Market doesn't have everything, how much are we actually missing? I found a few cool satellite and International Space Station tracking apps this morning on my phone, and a few sun and moon apps, and I just checked my G Tab and NONE of them show up. Anybody have a precentage of what we're missing?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't think it's been specifically tracked. Btw, I'm going to add the buid.prop change to 4.2.0, as well (adds a few more apps, I've been told).
[G Tablet General] aboad20:
Hello

Sorry about my question . is it working with ViewSonic Viewpad 7 Android Tablet (WiFi, 3G, 7-inch Screen) ??

about firmware code , do you use AOSP ?

thank you
[G Tablet General] chief1978:
No and no.

First page shows its based on stock TnT code not AOSP.

Also roms are only ever for the device they are listed for.
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
marketplace complete %

After not finding a few apps, I started looking into how the marketplace works. There is no such thing as a full marketplace. Due to the fact that there are different processors, manufacturers (build.prop) the fingerprint changes what you see in the marketplace. (Firefox specifically is excluding itself as it is a processor specific beta build, and shows up on the marketplace of specific devices) that said the apk's can always be sideloaded.
[G Tablet General] manikin13:

4.1.0 Stable

So my tab's been stable since I loaded 4.1. This is, frankly, boring! Any suggestions about something I can bork so I can spend endless frustrating hours trying to figure it out???
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
+1. This is great stuff...
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I know. This is bad. Come on Roe.. give us something to complain / yell / fix / b!tch about!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Wow, I thought I was bad? Boring is good! :D

Still playing the waiting game with TnT -- where is that darn update??
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
My thought on the update is that TNT is waiting for Flash to become 'official' and then they will release the update. Last I heard Flash was due to be certified by the end of January, guess we'll see if that holds true.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3588 was compiled on the 18th, as per the build.prop. If we don't see anything by tomorrow, I might release 4.2.0 anyway (just like I did with 3452). They could be waiting for Flash, but I'm not as patient as they are.

As far as I can tell, it's not a major update from 3452 (which is the basis for TnT Lite 4.0 and 4.1) but the might have tweaked the framework a bit. The 60 Hz change will bump up the fps a little, so you'll see that in Quadrant.
[G Tablet General] jturner49:
... a minor issue

I occasionally use a usb keyboard. With 4.1.0 I can't turn off the TnT keyboard. Any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] dwkennedy:
Sound goes out once in a while

My sound goes to all static once in a while. Muting or adjusting the volume doesn't do anything. It did this on Vegan Tab Beta 5.1 as well.

Has anybody seen this on stock roms? I.e. could this be a rom problem or is it a hardware problem? I hate to take the tab back to sears, they don't have any in stock to replace it.

I have read of others with the static problem, but I can't seem to pin it down to a particular rom.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've heard of this, but I haven't been able to replicate it. It might a hardware issue.

You'd have to turn off the TnT kb in Settings. I've been testing 3588 and I can definitely do that (just tried it, now). Not sure if this is a new fix or if it's always been there.

EDIT: I can also add a GB keyboard and disable / enable them, now. I think they finally fixed the kb switching in TnT. This works so well that I might add the GB keyboard as an option, since you can switch between them.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
To quote the movies Stripes:

I say "Fire the weapon, soldier". ;)
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Maybe they delayed it because I popped up with a "where's the promised(and avertised) flash?" comment... then suggested lighting a fire under adobe or just de facto releasing flash...

[EDIT]

Jets were grossly over-rated(and so were the Bears), esp. Sanchez... both games were incredibly dull, and I esp. loved Cutler bailing on the Bears at halftime... what a woosyboy, probably just trying to avoid losing personally...

I'm foreseeing a VERY dull Superbowl again...

[/EDIT]
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
I have been using the GB keyboard by sideloading it, and switching in the settings would be a welcome change.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You can switch between them via "input method" of course, but when I attach a USB keyboard I can actually disable one or both of them. I don't remember that working before -- I think the checkbox was there but was greyed out, if memory serves.
[G Tablet General] reisa:
can't switch keyboards

I can't switch keyboards in 4.1. I have Wiimote controller installed as well as HTC IME MOD ... I installed, moved directories, etc ... both show up in settings with checkboxes, but I can't check them -- and there's no checkbox that will let me un-select TnT keyboard.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3588 just showed up in my OTA updater -- I think they just released it.

EDIT: I just loaded up 4.1.0 and the kb settings seem to work the same way -- I can uncheck them when a USB keyboard is inserted.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
Oh Boy... I guess V4.2 will be showing up soon.

Awesome! :D

TnT Lite 4.2.0

Here you go - I will update my first post, later today: http://www.mediafire.com/?n66bk29kokyo9s6

Last minute addition was the Gingerbread keyboard. I think I finally found a version that I can live with (Long press the search bar and then "input method" to switch between that and the TnT keyboard).

60 Hz refresh, newest Market (still has the chopped off stars - sorry), and of course based off the latest 3588 TnT update.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
roebeet,

What changes with this new release from VS? anything noticeable. I know you added a gingerbread keyboard, but what are the changes from the new update from VS?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
See above :D

It's not a big jump from 4.1 - I'm assuming that VS did some more changes / tweaks under the hood between 3452 (TNL 4.00 / 4.10) and 3588 (TNTL 4.2.0) - and I added the GB keyboard, newest Market, and the 60 Hz refresh rate / fps change. I also added the mahimahi build.prop that some of you use to get a few more apps from the Market.
