No lag issues after updating to 4.0. Left it on overnight and she works perfectly.

Tried to run Quadrant but it F/C's on me. Not sure why?

Market still works.

I lost my Swype keyboard though. :( Have to re-do the steps now. Now that I think of it, wasn't really that big of a deal to have it on there in the first place. Screen is too big to "Swype" on...

Also the "Stock" To-Do list will no longer work with this. Says something about not having a family account and asks you to go into the settings to set it up. Once you go into settings it Force Closes.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Quadrant always FC'd on me (even in stock), but only on the second round. With the loopback change, you get very little time to check the results -- maybe 1-2 seconds. Usually it's ~3100 for me. After 2 seconds, it re-runs the test.

Stock To-Do list must mean the enhancement pack, I assume? I usually rip that stuff out of Tnt Lite.

Can not apply update.zip with ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8

Ok,

I am not confused... all of a sudden no matter what I do I can not apply an update.zip. I keep getting an error "E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted.

Anyone see this before?

Know how to fix this one?
[G Tablet General] makto:
Assert Failed:

Assert Failed:package _extract_file("system.img"."/tmp/system.img")

E:error ins /sdcard/update.zip (Status7)

getting the error too

Bummer
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
How are you applying the zip? Are you using Rom Manager? Try booting into recovery and applying the zip.
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
I have tried it both ways with the same results....:confused: :confused:
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Are you selecting which update.zip to apply or just using "apply zip,update.zip"?
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
Choosing apply sdcard:update.zip just like I have been doing since before thanksgiving...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Keep in mind that the final version is a rar file - the update.zip is inside it.

I've been differentiating between an update.zip and a archive that encloses it for a few weeks now. Rule of thumb: If it's a rar, you need to extract it to get the update.zip. I still want to support those of you who use stock recovery - not everyone uses clockworkmod.

If you are using ROM Manager, it installs a newer version of clockworkmod that may not play nice with our mods (or even stock). I still use the older .08 bekit version.

We have seen Status 7 messages for a long time, but I don't know how to fix them. Maybe re-try the download or reformat /sdcard? I actually haven't seen a Status 7 in at least a month, if not longer.
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
Yes... I am with you on the above... and have done that... I have tried every single rom I have downloaded now and all with the same results....
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
I figured out what it was... for some reason the system no longer saw the internal SDCARD. I copied the update.zip to the SDCARD2 and selected apply sdcard:update.zip and it worked!

Digging into it a little deeper to see if it sees both SDCARD and SDCARD2 after the update applied
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
Now on reboot I am seeing a message in the top left corner of the Viewsonic Boot Screen that says "Magic Value Mismatch" and it will not boot...
[G Tablet General] usafle:
The To-Do list was in the "stock" Viewsonic ROM. Just side-loaded it up once it got wiped out with your ROM. Worked on every previous version of TNT except this one. The "stock" Viewsonic News.apk works fine. Can't figure out how to install the Grocery Shopping List yet that came with the stock ROM.

On open it states:

No Family Members found / Launch ContactUtils

Once you launch ContactUtils, it Force Closes.

Quadrant never FC'd on me until this time. Once the test is done I could always get the results. Now it just completes the test and then FC'd.

UPDATE: In order to stop Quadrant from FC, you need to put the device in Portrait mode (eg: Standing "Up") then it will display the results. Right now it's reporting a score of 2908 after leaving it on all night. :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You might need the default Contacts.apk as well, just a guess here.

In TnT Lite, you can alter the script to not delete any of the the TnT apps, and also remove the updated apps in /system/app (like Contacts). the base image in TnT Lite is completely vanilla stock, and I just make changes via the updater-script.

This is the newer clockworkmod installed by ROM Manager - it can cause this problem. you need to either install an older clockworkmod and reflash, or use nvflash.

I would not recommend using ROM Manager with TnT Lite, until these problems are resolved.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I found a 4.0.0 bug - auto brightness is borked?

I don't know if this is stock or TnT Lite's doing, but just a heads up. Testing....
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
and i was JUST about to flash it too. lol
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My second device has 4.0.0 on it and auto-brightness is working. And I data wiped it, too.

We had a similar issue pop up in 3.1.x -- couldn't pin it down but it might be a third-party app at fault. I'm not going to consider this a bug then, since I can't replicate it on device #2.

EDIT 2: Device #1 is working now, as well (after reboot and a TB restore on a few of my apps).
[G Tablet General] makto:
What I did to fix

Last time I got the error 7 was due to the SD partition being dinked up. So.. I dropped clkwrk mod8 back on it just to cover myself. I don't use ROM manager so I don't know how it could have updated.. formatted to 256/0 on the SD [this is what caused my issue last time - error 7]rebooted - dropped 4.0 on and updated no errors - Doing a great job Roebeet and I for one greatly appreciate it..you are keeping it simple for me.. Thanks
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
256/0? What did you do that for? 2048/0 is the recommended size.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Probably a typo - you definitely don't want 256 for the /data size, unless you only plan on installing a small number of apps! :o
[G Tablet General] jeffokada81:
Just wanted to say thank you for the ROMS you have built. But after day of play I'm returning for a refund. If it wasn't for the horrible LCD I would keep it. I hope you make ROMS for some upcoming Tablets by HTC and Motorola etc....

Cheers!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
My screen is driving me nuts, as well - I can understand your frustration.

I still give this at least 3 to 4 months before we see anything that could surpass the GTablet. And my biggest concern is price, even when these new devices show up. We need a nice 10 inch Tegra 2 with an IPS screen, and no contracts.
[G Tablet General] norman505:
OP recommends 2048/256 in the first post, is it no longer recommended?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That was from a couple months ago when things were still changing fast. 2048/0 is what has been recommended now for awhile. Android doesn't use the Swap partition so it is just being wasted by partitioning like that.

Back a few months ago we thought it was ok to partition to 4gb. Turns out that didn't work so well with things. So, as we learn, things change.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I want to see one with a real thin keyboard that slides out the bottom. Maybe have it hinged so when you prop the tablet on the kickstand that we don't have the keyboard would sit flat.. And a Tegra2, and a really nice screen.. And Honeycomb.. And I think that's it....
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
Well for what it worth my markets working great NP problem here.
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
I want the Viewsonic dual boot tablet also thats my next purchase
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I need to fix that, it's actually stale. Should be 2048/0, not 2048/256. The latter should work as well, but I believe 2048/0 might be a little speedier since we don't really need a swap file.
[G Tablet General] erraskey:
New "official" 4.0

Haven't found anything broken yet. Auto-brightness works for me. Had an fc .acore first time after reboot but wiped data a second time and it went away. Did "complex" market fix and going gangbusters.

Quadrant score is 3051. And in this case the score is meaningful. This is a seriously quick wee beastie!

I agree that it will be months before anything comes close to this - especially without a contract.

I'm lucky that the price doesn't matter that much - but I'm going to have a tough time trading this. My 17" laptop just bit the dust for business travel ...
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
In a nutshell, this is what I am about to do, but I just bought the Pro version of TiB. I am running a batch backup of all apps, and then another of apps+ system data.

1. If I use CWM to clear cache and user data, will I lose the TiB folder on SDCard? Will backup to another drive just in case.

2. Which TiB restore would be best to use after installing 4.0? Apps only, or apps + system data?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
1. CWM will not erase the Titanium folder.

2. Restore only apps and their data. Never restore system data.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
please produce an update without dataloop.

thanks.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Problems? Issues with custom kernels? I haven't tried your recent stuff, at least not yet.

I'm hesitant to fork it off because that means another build to test. It would be like creating a TnT Lite without the performance pack.
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
Makes sense now. Restore option I was looking at was "restore all apps with data" and now I know that means apps and their data NOT apps and system data. As you stated, CWM did not delete the TiB folder so I should be up and running in a few minutes. Thank you.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
it can cause ext2 errors at times leading to subsystem resets, and other 'possible' degradation in performance and stability problems associated with a buffer on top.
[G Tablet General] noob4eva:
wpa_supplicant patch worked for me perfectly, removing one of two potential reasons for a return. I have not noticed any difference in use of regular (infrastructure) network.
[G Tablet General] samwuff:
I did this on 2.02 and it does work to remove the ad blocking.
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
Roebeet,

No, it did not change being able to see my home network or any other network. It just allowed me to see the adhoc one from my Droid 1. It was listed as (*)Android when the Gtablet scanned and found the network.
[G Tablet General] thedudevt:
I used the file on the first page. Extracted the spa_supplicant file and pasted it into /system/bin/. I did not run the whole zip package.

Connecting to my router still works fine, and now my gtab sees (*)AndroidTether just fine. I will have the opportunity today to try other APs,but I don't expect any surprises.

I have not yet tried the v.6 file.

[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Updated to 2.02, now my roebeetized GTab lost audio on both mplayer and rockplayer.

Tried headphones trick and reboot numerious times did not help.

Tested YouTube and audio is ok.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] mmracing:
Thanks TheDude... you are the MAN!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks for the confirm - at least this is an option for people. I'd really prefer to keep the adfree hosts file unless the majority wanted it out.

Was 2.00 OK? The update to 2.0.2, tmk, had nothing audio specific.
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Fyi bugs I'm having.

On home screen hitting menu button and then settings in the toolbar doesn't bring up settings.

Hitting menu button and then notifications in the toolbar brings up the little notifications dialogue box but then I can't get it to go away. I have to power cycle to fix it.

YouTube app force closes and will not work at all.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That Settings button is vanilla settings which doesn't work because TnT replaced that with their own version (and which I can't remove, as much as I'd like to). Workaround is to just add a shortcut on your homescreen, which is what I do.

I never tried notifications, but that doesn't really suprise given that TnT has their own notifications bar. You should just avoid using it.

You Tube has been spotty for me as far as performance, but it doesn't FC on me. Did you wipe your user data after upgrading?
[G Tablet General] jasco13:
Yup did the wipe before adding the supplement. Maybe I should try again. Since the app doesn't work that great I haven't been too motivated.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Didn't work for me, alas. Installed AdFree, chose deny on its initial page when it asked for su, but I'm still having ads blocked. This isn't surprising, since by denying it su it can't overwrite your hosts file, meaning that it remains the one installed with TNTLite.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Rockplayer works in v2.0 but mplayer not.

Will try to reload v2.00 and report.

Thinking it's my GTab's fault.:)
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Would it be possible to post the apk of gojimi's new fix for long-pressing the Home key? I'd rather not install the new supplemental, since I want to keep the 2.0 Contacts/Calendar apps.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You can just pull it out of the update.zip, in the supplement. it's the android.policy.jar in /system/framework.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I never tested this, myself. I'll add it to my list to to do's.

If the general consensus is to pull it, I'd do that in the next supplement / major update. Unfortunately some will probably want it and some will not so it's a tough call.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I am in the same boat.....how do you take a "jar" file out of the zip?
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Is it possible to create an update that has optional installation APK's, like perhaps populate the download folder with a few that are optional? Just a thought. I like having no ads, but I know others require it for certain functionality on sites.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I actually have a better idea -- if you don't want to go the ADB or root explorer route, you can actually open up the update.zip and make whatever add / deletes you want. So, for example, you can remove the Contacts and Calendar apks and leave everything else.

You can even extend this into 2.0.0 if there's something in there you want pulled, like the /system/etc/hosts file for adfree. I specifically made the mod as modular as a I could as it would make it easy for someone to edit it. The system.img is actually completely vanilla TnT stock, the adds are in the /system folder in the update.zip and the deletes are in the updater-script file.

The additions are easy to track down because you can actually see them in the update.zip, but the deletes had to be in the script. I pulled out the homescreen apks and all those extra apps that the build adds but that we don't really need.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Ah, this is a good idea. Especially since I now can't get TweetDeck to work with the long-press home key. (Tweetdeck didn't work under vanilla tnt 1, but has been working since the update and with tntlite, and maybe this long-press issue is why.) Does someone have the vanilla android.policy.jar, so I can go back?
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
1) Reload TnT-Lite V2.00 and test the following with Rockplayer:

- Avi with mp3 audio: ok

- Avi with Ac3 audio: ok

- Mkv with Ac3 audio: ok

2) Update to Tnt-Lite V2.02 and test the following with Rockplayer:

- Avi with mp3 audio: ok

- Avi with Ac3 audio: ok

- Mkv with Ac3 audio: ok

Thanks Roebeet.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
no worries. i will rip it out and post as a supplement to your tnt lite edition.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'll have to stay on top of that thread, then. If it becomes really bad, I might actually have to pull it.

It's two files - that /bin/e2fsck binary (which can stay as it doesn't do anything by itself) and the altered /etc/inandop.sh file.

Here's another problem -- would a supplement even work? I would think we'd need to have a supplement AND a data wipe would also be required.

Quadrant Is FC'ing Everytime When It's finished Running

Clean install of TNT4.00; wiped data and cache.

1st boot took about 4 to 5 minutes; subsequent boot times reduced dramatically with every reboot. Currently onto the 6th reboot and Quadrant score reported at 3101 before it's FC'ed at the end.

The thing with this Quadrant FC'ing is that after the full benchmark is complete, it will somehow re-ran the video tests again w/o me touching any button. Once that happens Quadrant will FC. It happens every time when I run Quadrant, and reboot didn't clear it. I can still manage to see my score but I have to hit the button quick before it FCs.

This Quadrant FC'ing didn't bother me at all, but I would like to report it to see if others have seen the same thing.

Other than Quadrant, everything else appears to be running fine and very smooth, includng no wake-on-lag issue after it came out of sleep mode. Played HD MP4 video in hardware mode using Rockplayer without a any problem. Flash played smooth as well on stock TNTLite browser (I sideloaded Adobe 10.1.120.5).

Will test NTFS and CIFS later today.

Thanks Roebeet for the hardwork!
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
I don't know what you did but my benchmark went from 2407 on 3.00 to 3093 on 4.00. Everything seems stable, no f/c's so far, home button works, touch screen is much more responsive, the sensor works better with the homepage 360 degrees. I wish we could change the keyboard and allow location via wifi, but I guess beggars can't be choosers. Thanks much roebeet!
[G Tablet General] samepic:
Thanks for sharing yours. Like I said the Quadrant FCs on mine didn't really bother me at all because I can at least still see the score before it FCs. Everything else does appear to be running a lot smoother. Gsensor fix is working and responsive when I played Thunder Racing 2.
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
Any hope of mouse and keyboard support.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That is what I thought I had bought when I originally placed my Sears order. There ad was completely screwed up. Kind of glad I have this one now because the best you can do is Android 1.6 on the Dual boot version. There is no X86 version of Android any higher than 1.6 right now. At least not one that I have heard of..
[G Tablet General] dkhilo:
There are test Froyo2.2 builds for the eeePC and a generic X86 as well as a Viewsonic Viewpad 10 Build here:

http://www.android-x86.org/download

I haven't tried these and of course as shown are not stable builds of yet.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not until the TnT devs fix it -- stock is like this, as well. I'm assuming you meant alternate software keyboards and not USB kb? USB keyboard works just fine, always has.

When do they go on sale veiwsonic 10. Dual boot
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Data wiped? I haven't seen this since the first time I tried the market update (before it went into TnT Lite). Also, you might want to wipe cache and/or "Fix Permissions" in clockworkmod. Or the dreaded SD re-partition, if all else fails.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Thats pretty neat. I figured it would just be a matter of time but I haven't been following it lately.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Apparently it already is for sale. I don't know where though.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Folks you will probably NOT be happy with the dual boot tablet:

1. Atom processor and only Android 1.6 or lower is supported with the chipset.

2. Requires a fan, so thicker device, runs hot and about half the battery life.

Be careful what you ask for ;)

End of year there will be another chipset that should handle things a bit better.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Dual boot doesn't bother me at all. Wish I could dual boot the GTab with ubuntu
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Roebeet: Few quick questions please:

1. The stability issues that pershoot refers to: Is this due to the dataloop mod?

2. How is battery life? Seems we can not get something for nothing, so battery would have to take a hit that may not result in correlating returns of performance.

3. Besides the dataloop thingy, is the lag fix the main assumed update?

TnT Lite 3.14 has been ROCK stable with the custom 10.9.8 kernel, so if the "dataloop" speed increase may invite system stability problems and lower battery life, this may be the first update I graciously pass on.

BTW, current dual boot tablets suck is because they are powered by fan needing, power sucking Atom chipsets. Heck, IMO, all Windows tablets suck for this reason. Far shorter battery life, extra heat and Windows baggage are not fun partners to have. Newer chipset and more tablet centric windows update coming at end of year COULD make things better.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I haven't tested the battery, but i suspect that it won't impact it heavily. I think my biggest concern is stability, same as pershoot's. Especially with a custom kernel, as I haven't tested that at all.

I tested it "vanilla" TnT Lite (no custom kernel) for several days and it seemed stable to me, but of course things could change over time. I thought of it as similar to the performance pack - probably worth the risk of adding it in.

If I have to pull it out later, I think it will be OK as is, even with the extra stuff added in /data. But, a data wipe would probably be recommended just to clean it up.
[G Tablet General] makto:
not a type but I go in and reformat before installing stuff again.. but it was the only way I could get it to install without the error 7.. I don't have enough apps or info to care about a backup or restore.. I just go in with it all again..not as technically inclined or up to speed with the rest of you.. still unable to get the SDK to see the dang thing and have followed all the directions.. just not that lucky yet..getting really good at angry birds though.. thanks for all the help.. this forum is awesome:D

Upgrade to TnTLite 4.0 Results in Boot Loop

Folks - appreciate any guidance on where to find the appropriate base reflash since my upgrade to TnTLite 4.0 (from 3.14) has resulted in the boot loop.

I've found that the old NVFlash doesn't work - just creates its own boot loop - which I think is because somewhere after 3.00 the kernel was changed by TnT.

Is there an updated version of NVFlash for those who made the changes with TnTLite 3.1X and beyond?

Appreciate any pointers to the correct files to reflash and start over again. Thanks

Install over 3.14 enhanced

Has anyone preformed an installation of TnT Lite over 3.14 enhanced? I realize that I didn't follow the installations, but felt it was worth the risk. For some reason CM did work and it went straight into the 4.0 update. Everything seems to be working. the one thing I see is the spacing on the desktop icon is pretty far apart. I may restore back to the factor image...
