After using the other ROMs out there, this is my daily version now after only running it less than 24 hours but putting in a lot of screen time. No app problems, no market problems, no sleep issues, and the only strange thing I saw was WinAmp restarting a track when Sync started running in the background.

Might just have to ride this one out till H-Comb hits in the near future. Word is that it's already on the Nook. It's gotta be running on a G already, somewhere.

4.2.1 Update.

Just adding my 2.5 cents. Overlayed 4.2.1 on 4.2.0. Everything is fine including a few fixes to things that had stopped working properly in 4.2.0. I.e. the I.P Widget, etc.

Thanks everyone!

Good to be home

I recently tried Vegan 5.1 and liked some of the features.....but came back to TnT lite 4.2, upgraded to 4.2.1 and have to say "it's good to be home". Thanks roebeet for the work you do. :
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
I reflashed after a wipe and I still can't download anything? Am I the only one? Haven't had this prob before on any other rom.
[G Tablet General] Zippernuts:
new to tnt

Just flashed from vegan hoping to get all my apps working but i still cannot get oovoo to work. Will it work on this rom or is it a kernal issue? I really love this tablet but i have to have oovoo. Please dont make me have to buy a galaxy!! ;) I like the rom so far otherwise. Nice work roebeet!!
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Okay, I redid the 4.2.1 install and now have the market working again. How do I get the other keyboards to work? I can't seem to turn the TnT one off.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Should be able to hold down in an input area and the option to change pops up. I did not like the other KB so went back to the TnT one (TnT seems to respond better, while the other KB appeared to lag sometimes).
[G Tablet General] digger44:
my (good) 4.2.1 experience

Just wanted to add my thumbs-up to the list of 'No issues at all in installing or using the 4.2.1 tntLite rom"

-long-time tntlite user

-upgraded from 314 w/clemsyn

-no data wipe - just cleared cache & dalvik

-installed latest clemsyn (for ciffs)

-quick market fix

...all is good...2+ days, no issues ...quadrant 2367 (normal) ...trying new keyboard (love the cursor keys) ...

Thanks Roebeet...
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
No, that never happened. Nor is there an option in the apps settings to clear defaults.

Actually you're right. Is there any way I could use swiftkey?
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
Well I had to go back to vegan because of my inability to download anything on tnt... I've tried searching about the problem with no luck? Seems I'm the only one who cant download with tnt?

I think I prefer tnt these days, but if I can't download then its useless to me...

anyone? Ive asked a number of times now, but no one has replied..which makes me think I'm the only one with this problem?

help or advise would be appreciated, I'd really like to use this rom!

Maybe if I say please?

Please? Lol..
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It might actually be normal - the browsers between the two are different. Which means that stock might have the same problem.

TnT (Lite) still has the keyboard settings locked down (I swear it must be a bug. Why would they do this?). You have to copy any new kb apks into /system/app for them to work. For that, you'd need a tool like root explorer or adb.
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
well ive re installed tnt 3 times now and i havnt been able to download with the stock browser. while i was running other roms id download the next rom directly onto the g tab then install it... or kernels, whatever. but with tnt i cant do that?

can you download through your browser? thats my question.. if no one can then ok, i was just wondering if im the only one who cant?
[G Tablet General] snomis79:
Everything is running great for me. Updated to 4.2 and then to 4.2.1. Smooth and fast, thank you so much for all your hard work!
[G Tablet General] pqrs:
i just re installed for the 4th time and now it seems to be able to download? strange..

one other thing ive noticed... the notification bar is sometimes clear, sometimes black? any way to make it stay clear?
[G Tablet General] Jesse6749:
I went back to vegan 5.1 cause on both 4.20 and 4.21 roms I kept getting fc's and the error nessage that android.service.core stopped responding. The error message kept popping up constantly and I tried clearing the cache, delvik cache, and even a complete factory reset but the error kept returning.

Strange thing is I do not get this or any other fc on any other rom.
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
I have been using 4.2.1 with the android keyboard with it. This is the first time I've been able to choose what keyboard I want just by unchecking the tnt and notion keyboards.
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
Keyboards woriking on my Gtab also (can check/uncheck at will).
[G Tablet General] slow68:
ok so I'm a little slow

Can some one post a link to the Enhancement pack that is used after updating to TNT Lite 4.2.1 - if it is the same one TnT_Enhancement_3389_v1 then just tell me to be quiet and go back to my corner and install it.

Thanks Stef
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
you dont intall the performance pack with tnt lite. Its only for stock tnt.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
how do you get swype working? it worked fine with vegan. I tried to copy in system apps but still doesnt work. You cant enable it under settings. The check box doesnt stay set. Any ideas?

EDIT: Did want to mention that this ROM is by far the fastest of them all... Is there a reason why I would want to apply any of the custom Kernels (except for some of the features)?
[G Tablet General] ozzynyc:
i'm having an issue with sound while playing various avi's. I tried like 6 movies, and only one had sound, all of my media players (including htc incredible phone) were able to play them without any issues. What gives? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated. I'm at a point of reselling this item as i need movies to be played with sound for the kid.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I agree, this is a pain. I bought SmartKeyboardPro a while back and it is still my favorite KB of any I have tried. I can not for the life of me get it to install in TNTLite4.2 :mad:

I've installed the .apk but am unable to get the checkbox to stick in the Keyboard Settings. I've used Root Explorer and copied the entire SmartKeyboardPro.apk into System/apps, rebooted but nothing has changed.

Any "Romper Room" style help in getting this to work would be soooo appreciated!
[G Tablet General] bkbrod:
To Roebeet,

I have not commented much on here, but just had to say "thanks". I bought this pad late December because of what I read here. Gotta say I love it. Best money I've ever spent. My wife has an I Pad that she won and she is constantly wanting to use this. Thanks again for your hard work. Looking forward to Honeycomb.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Have you tried another player, such as Rockplayer? I've had spotty access with videos on this thing, myself. Since you mentioned AVI's, check the audo codec in each case. For example, if the audio is MP3, it should work. But AC3 might be spotty depending on the app.

I usually have a few video players on my device, just for this reason. Rockplayer is one of those "must have" apps that I add right away.

Thanks!

One other "trick" I found for keyboards in /system/app is to connect a USB keyboard to the device, then go into Settings -- Lang and Keyboard. For some reason, you can check / uncheck keyboards when it's in this state.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
I would also recommend trying vitalplayer (free in market)in addition to rockplayer. I've had better success with videos on vitalplayer than rockplayer.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
I got swype working. Copied the apk into system/app then loaded pershoots kernal.

Unfortunatly it dropped quadrant by 400 points...the tnt kernal at this point is the fastest I have found.

By me loading up this kernal did it replace the nvidia drivers?
[G Tablet General] ozzynyc:
delete....
[G Tablet General] ozzynyc:
I love you in the most straightest brotherly way dude!! the app did the trick, everything plays awesome through vitalplayer. Amazing to me that many release such a ****ty software with crappy codecs on android. Kid will be happy.
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
roebeet,

Seems like almost all of the apps I get see the internal memory and the internal sdcard... however none seems to be able to address sdcard2. Have you found a way around this issue or is it just a case of the app devs just have not caught up with the fact that we have an extra memory card on this tablet yet?

???????????????????????????????????
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
Tried the Adam ROM a little yesterday. It's kinds of neat, but seem more limiting that a more stock Android build. TNT V4.2.1 is GREAT.

I did notice however that the Google Maps app on the Adam ROM was much smoother, responsive and zoom in and out great. It also seem to fill almost instantly. The Google Maps on TNT just doesn't run as well for me, and when I pinch to zoom it sometimes get it wrong. I try to zoom out and at times it will zoom in even more.

Not sure if its the Maps app or the ROM, but is there a chance the Google Maps app from the Adam can be pulled so we can install it on the g tablet and see if it run better?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's actually the same apk.

However, I've been doing some nenamark scores over the weekend, and the gADAM alpha actually beats out TnT Lite. I think that it's because of the customized kernel (I used pershoots) but I'm not 100% sure of that.

I usually trying to keep TnT Lite more stable, and thus sacrificing performance. With the gADAM, I had to use a different kernel so it's more unstable but possibly better performance because of it. I think the gADAM even performs better than a stock ADAM, because of the kernel.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
are we ever going to get unlocked kernels so that we can overclock?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
On TnT Lite itself? Probably not. I'm going to keep this as a "close to stock" mod. But, there are others making customized kernels.
[G Tablet General] raggededge:
I can't find that "my fake location app". Anyone else have that issue?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Thanks for that but it was a no go. Just simply can't get the checkmark to be input. I wish TNT would take the shackles off. I know other KB's 'can' work as evidenced but the Notion KB, GB KB and some folks are using the Thumb KB so it may be simply that 'some' KB's won't work (like Smart KB Pro) while others can. Frustrating to say the least.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
I was able to get other keyboards working by doing the replace settings.apk trick.

Update to stock android settings, enable keyboards, rollback to tnt settings and they will remain enabled.
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
Just checked the market using tnt lite 4.2.1 (Market v3002211). I find it just fine.
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
Correct... This works great. I've been using this after every flash recently.

Market fix problem

I have been trying to get the full market running with no luck. I tried the full fix, but no go. When ever I open Google Service Framework the Cache is empty, so no Market error when I open it next.

I just upgraded to TnT Lite 4.2.0 any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Amazing. Worked perfect. Thank you.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
2 issues:

1st: is anyone still getting force closes when syncing calendar? if i use Calendar Pad and use the 4x4 widget, i get crashes whenever it syncs. also get crashes sometimes when signing into talk. takes 2-3 tries sometimes to get it signed in. this only happens after a boot though. once i get past the crashes and sign in, the crashes almost never happen again. once in a while i'll get it again but not sure of the exact cause. think it might be wifi connecting again after the screen has been off for a while. did not have this issue on vegan.

second: i'm still getting the double power button press to turn the screen on/off. and with that also comes the power menu popup. it happens randomly though. sometimes it won't happen for a long time but once it does happen, it sticks, until i do a reboot. anyone else getting this? i thought this issue was fixed with the new kernels. or was this not included in TnT Lite?
[G Tablet General] Frrrrrrunkis:
Well Perhaps I spoke too soon. It was working but now I can't choose?
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
Open the search app (magnifying glass) and "long press" in the entry field, then chose input method, the choose your preferred keyboard.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Does this happen when you are using that widget or, does it happen when you are using the google calender? I have had no problems crashing the regular google calender app. I also have "Touch Calendar" (there is a free version as well) and I am not having any problems syncing that either. Sounds like a bug specific to the app you are using?

This particular issue has never happened to me. Although, when mine goes to sleep, some times I have to repeatedly press the power button to get her to "wake up". Not sure if that is the same issue you are experiencing?
[G Tablet General] simon-edwards:
I'd like to add my thanks to Roebeet for these excellent TNT Lite releases.

Could I ask please that you expand upon the following installation guide section:

"- Re-run clockworkmod recovery and re-partition your SD card. Suggested setup (as of Jan 2011) is 2048 and swap of 0. (this last step will wipe the /sdcard data, so keep that in mind)."

I'm very new to Android, and after re-partitioning the SDCard using Clockworkmod v.08 I was faced with a system that was blank. Cwm couldn't or wouldn't recognise any content on SDCARD2. The Auto-Install sequence for SDCARD2 didn't do anything (yes I edited the command file first).

I appeared to have no way forwards from the cwm bootstrap.

I have no idea which of my varied formatting and installing sequence eventually got 3.1.3 to boot again onto the newly partitioned blank SDCARD. But at least that allowed me mount it from a PC and put 4.2.0 onto the SDCARD, not SDCARD2, and install it from there using cwm on the next re-boot.

I am, and any other newbies will be, working in a bit of a blind environment. So, could you please add a couple of lines about what I should have done after re-partitioning the SDCARD. Or alternatively please point me at a thread handling how to recover after a re-partitioning event.

thanks
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
i think it only happens with the widget. when i don't place the widget on any of the screens, it doesn't crash. maybe its specific to this app only or maybe its trying to sync when turning the screen on after a long period of time. i'll try Touch Calendar and see if the problem still persists. btw, does the month widget for this fill up the whole screen? for calendar pad it only fills a 4x4 block, which sucks.

your power button issue is similar to mine, only it requires 2 presses. i have to press it once, then press it again, for the screen to turn on/off. this was the same issue a lot of people were having a couple versions back. just not sure if the issue was resolved or if its just me.
[G Tablet General] kaylus:
Orientation

First, thanks to Roebeet for creating this great mod and making my tablet smoking fast!

Now, my issue: I've searched the thread and don't see much in response to the orientation issues I (and a few other friends) have been experiencing. It seems that there is a -90 degree orientation to a handful of programs (Nook, Quadrant, etc.) which forces you to hold the tablet with the home button up top and the power button down.

Quite a pain in the arse when you keep bumping the power button (now on bottom)! Is there any patch to this on 4.2.1 TnT-Lite? Does it not bother everyone else? :-)
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
i've noticed this too but it happens with so few of my apps that it doesn't really bother me. with quadrant, it doesn't really bother me. i don't need to hold it while the benchmark is running. as for reading, i use Aldiko, so Nook doesn't matter to me lol.

i think Quadrant is the only app for me that rotates like that. i have a few games that rotate like that as well but it doesn't bother me all that much. afaik, there's no patch or fix for this.
[G Tablet General] kaylus:
Yeah, Quadrant was a bad example, I don't hold it either while benching.. :D

Though it does do this with Nook and a handful of very specific news reader applications such as TMZ. Though Nook is the one that I use the most, mainly because I own B&N ebooks and didn't want to have to De-DRM them!

Hopefully there is a patch, it won't kill me if not but it does add to the device!
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:
This has nothing to do with the ROM. The app themselves do not use the accelerometer (remember these apps where made mainly for phones).
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Just an FYI, the Touch Calendar isn't a widget. My fault on that. But yes, it sounds like it's for sure a APP problem and not a ROM problem.

If you are looking for widgets for your agenda, I would suggest grabbing LauncherPro, as that has a great "Calendar Widget" built in (along w/ a FB news feed).

Otherwise, that Touch Calendar app I mentioned is by far the best calendar app I have come across.
[G Tablet General] Pete917:
I am having the problem with Angry Birds disappearing from my Archos 101. Sometimes its there and other not. It shows in the installed app list but not on the home screen. If I uninstall and then re-install it's OK for a bit but then after a re-boot or a power off/on it mostly dissapears. Any thoughts?
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
its not a widget? then how come i see screenshots of it being on the home screen? in 3 different sizes too.

EDIT: nevermind, i see that you can get the widgets with the full version.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
...and thanks for clearing up the difference between the "Free" and the "Paid" version. I didn't know the paid version had widgets at all. :)

Scrolling on G-Tab

I have the recent Tnt 4.2.1 on my gtab, but when on facebook for example, the chat box scrolls up and down with the page? When in gmail, doesn't let me scroll through all of my mail? I have tried all available browser views from tablet to desktop. I have experienced this from day one from Tnt 2.2 to 4.2.1

Does not give a desktop or netbook experience when browsing the internet, why is this so?? Thank you.
[G Tablet General] digger44:
About the scrolling... It has something to do with the browser(s) on the tablet and the way the websites interract with them. Sometimes you can zoom in slightly and that will allow you to scroll (this works in gmail), but for other sites, it does not help.

This IS annoying, but outside of the zoom trick, there is no definitive answer or reason for this....yet.

Does anyone know how I can mount my external hdd? I can use my 2gig thumb drive no problem and it mounts by itself but I cant get my hard drive to mount
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
how is your external hdd formatted? most likely ntfs

thumb drives are usually fat32

depending on the size of the hdd you can either try refomatting it to fat32, or use clemsyns or pershoots kernals to recognize ntfs
[G Tablet General] ellis125:
No its actualy fat32 right now and I'm using clemsyns kernel
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Not in my market its not. :mad:
[G Tablet General] Zocky:
Will look into it,thank you for the information.
[G Tablet General] kaylus:
Thanks for the answer, maybe I should explain: I checked these applications on the Samsung Tab while at Verizon a bit ago and they didn't have inversion issues. This leads me to believe that it is something that is being handled in the ROM at some level... If I'm mistaken, all the well!

Being new to hacking around on Android I haven't dug deep enough, I'm overly familiar with WebOS but not so familiar with modding Droid. So forgive me if I am missing something obvious here.

** Post left for posterity, discussion given up -- not the appropriate forum; I searched enough and realize that this is a known Gtablet issue and if a fix comes out, good deal --I'll just turn the thing upside down for the time being on the few apps it borks on. Thanks for the response **
[G Tablet General] atakapa:
Here's an update to add multi-touch rotation and tilt for Google Maps 5 for TnT Lite 4.2.1.

Link to post with .zip

Big Thanks to jwischka for finding this for the vegan rom. I just changed the build.prop to the one from tnt lite.

This would be installed like any supplement *.zip, no wiping data needed. It just adds an xml to the permissions folder and one line at the end of the build.prop to reference correct opengles version.

As always, you are responsible for your equipment and what you do to it.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I wasn't sure if this would work or not -- definitely a future supplement addon if this works with TNTL. Thanks!
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
I would be curious to see if this resolves other issues - why would it not be included in the base OS? Seems they are just defining a device type explicitly.
[G Tablet General] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Still laggy for me also with TnT lite 2.0

I will try ditching launcher pro and see if that improves things. Shame to lose it, but if it lets this device deliver on the performance it is capable of that would be worthwhile.
[G Tablet General] jtbnet:
I've never had this this issue in Months on any of my 7 devices using LauncherPro... but used to have it before I started setting 'Keep in memory' in Menu- Preferences- General Settings.... I'd suggest trying this as just makes sense... don't want to evict your launcher just because you were watching a movie for a while else takes a while to reload and refresh all widgets before you can move on to the next thing...
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
No issues with LP either. I use it on a Samsung Galaxy and the G Tablet. I've been on TnT Lite since day one too. I gave the tablet to my kids for the weekend. It survived... no complains from them.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Might be the choice of widgets, or the number, or the resizing done with LPPro. All I can tell you is that the lag I had that was making the tablet unuseable disappeared when I uninstalled LPPro.
