This is the VEGAn thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859884

Several of us are working on it, together. I think that, as of beta 2, it's fairly stable and now rivals TnT Lite. It will likely surpass it soon, at the rate the development is going on it.

Pros on the VEGAn is some theme tweaks and the ability to use alternate keyboards. We're also hoping that the Advent Vega gets Gingerbread soon (not holding my breath that TnT will get it anytime soon).

hmm for some strange reason since yesterday, everytime i download something from the market, it finishes downloading but then doesn't install. when i go into market to check the status it says downloading but no progress bar. there's a cancel download button and i press that, then i have to install it again. this time the download and installation goes through. so basically i have to download everything twice.

anyone else have this problem? i was flashing a lot yesterday but i wiped all my data and cache beforehand though.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
I get this from time to time as well.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
so this is normal? or is it just a market issue?
[G Tablet General] anlog:
Just a heads up...

My wife let her battery drain all the way and started getting the dreaded acore FC. Tried wiping cache, fixing permissions, etc... Didn't work.

Had to restore most recent CW backup to fix it...
[G Tablet General] Don Lettrich:
It is a common market issue. My EVO, my wife's instinct and my Gtab all get it from time to time.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
weird. never had this issue before on my droid 1 or my sister's droid 1.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Have you three Amigos been able to make usb storage, Angry Birds and other storage related issues work correctly in Vegan? Seems if you fix those issues, perhaps no reason for TNT anymore. Especially since AV will soon have Android 2.3 and Nvidia drivers apparently optimized for 2.3.

We are probably kidding ourselves if we think Tap UI and VS will update with 2.3.
[G Tablet General] anlog:
Angry Birds works fine for me in beta 2.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Not sure what issues you are seeing. Angry Birds is playing right now on mine, and I can see my USBdisk, and sdcard2 just fine. I am liking this rom..
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Does everything work exactly as TnT, as far as app installs, usb storage, storage mounting?

Do apps vanish after reboot or using usb storage mode?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
TnT Lite 2.4.0 - not posting to the first page, yet. Testers needed!

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?7jq4l4o99xppg3t

This is bascially TnT 2.3.0 with the FULL performance pack added back, even if the files in question were touched by the TnT devs in their new firmware. So, the only "change" from 2.2.x is the framework, which the TnT devs touched.

I've been playing around with this all day, and it seems pretty speedy to me - not any better or worse than 2.2.x. But, if a few of you can test it out, at least I can confirm that it seems to be working and not the mess that 2.3.0 was. Btw, I did not add the new Market, since the formatting is off on the TnT build.

Thanks!!!!!!
[G Tablet General] rushless:
When did they fix all the issues? Roeb, Roth and Jim know what I am referring to. :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Beta2 VEGAn replaced VOLD with a mount command, which I think helped with both the freezing and missing apps (I think). And the future Beta3 should expand on that, further.

Beta3 mounts sdcard2 similar to how TnT does it, so it's much cleaner than the hacks I was using.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

Downloading it now. I will probably do most of the testing tomorrow morning ==> Day off from work :-)

I'm a Pennsylvania guy also, and the Eagles are (and hopefully will) spank the Cowboys...

I'll provide you with some feedback tomorrow morning.

UPDATE: The install of TnT Lite 2.4 was success and clean. So far so good. Now for the testing...

UPDATE #2: Limited testing has been very positive. Speedy, No FCs. Tested Titanium app restore, YouTube, ESPN3 (flash), Angry Birds, Market fix, Contacts, and Quadrant Standard score of 2458.

Eagles WIN!!!

UPDATE #3: Cursory tested all my application (approx. 40). TnT Lite 2.4 is very stable thus far. Very fast. No FCs or performance issues. Videos smooth. Scrolling also smooth. I'll continue to test tomorrow morning.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Man, Dallas or Philly -- not sure who to pick (Jets fan, transplanted New Yorker).

:)
[G Tablet General] ILA970JOSH:
Can this be flashed over 2.2 without clearing anything? thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That's exactly what I'd like someone to test. :)

I did most of my testing over stock, and I believe once over VEGAn beta2. I think that the worst that will happen is the slowness that was reported in 2.3.0, but I hope not.
[G Tablet General] ILA970JOSH:
just flashed it and it seems to be working, couple of my widgets needed to be redone, angry birds still works, market works. dolphin hd loads very fast, youtube works, thumbs up so far.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I tested TnT Lite 2.4 for about a hour now. So far it's the best version to date. Thanks a bunch. I'll continue to test tomorrow morning.

BTW: I did a clean install (wiped data).
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Downloading....
[G Tablet General] prismo7:
Loaded 2.4.0 over 2.3.0, NP, no issues.
[G Tablet General] thongtap:
Loaded 2.4.0 over 2.2.0 without data wipe everything seems to be fine for proformace. I had to redo all my widgets and install my ultra keyboard again. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] klokman:
Loaded 2.4.0 over 2.2.0 + 2.2.1 Supplement, as noted Widgets need re-doing, but Titanium Restore works fine, Market, AB etc. all very fast and smooth.

Great Work as usual! Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks for the testing and replies! So far, so good -- hopefully I can "release" this today, going on feedback so far.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Roebeet,

I completed more extensive testing on TnT Lite 2.4 this morning. Battery life is good. Performance is strong. Still no FCs. This release is rock solid from my standpoint.

Thanks again!!!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Here's my short-term plan on TnT Lite 2.4.0 and beyond

It sounds pretty solid, so I'm going to publicly release it today (many thanks to those who helped test it). It was a tad too late for some of the newer google stuff I noticed were updated (Voice and Maps), but I can add a supplement for that later.

I'm not sure why the new Market is such a mess on this - I've been testing it on the VEGAn, and no issues. I thought it might be my fonts change, but I actually backed out of that and it was still messed up. I'm guessing it's the size of the status bar on TnT Lite? Not sure.

The 19th is just a few days away, so I want to see if there's a new full update from VS / TnT and then I'll either do a supplement or a full update, depending on what occurs. That's the short-term plan. The long-term plan is unknown - I think the VEGAn build has probably surpassed TnT Lite already, and it's getting a new beta release today, also.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
so basically we should just go with the vegan build? is that what you're saying? lol
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I never said that. :)

Let's just say that I was using TnT Lite 2.2.1 as my day-to-day build, last week. The one that I personally use for my own apps. That changed with VEGAn beta 2, and the soon-to-be-released beta 3.
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
same here vegan is a BEAST cant wait to load beta 3.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You'll have it by EOD. I'm on a strict time-line as I'm out-of-state tomorrow, meeting with my Apple fanboy co-workers. I need a solid but snazzy build to show off. :)
[G Tablet General] perriinn:
I've also been using 2.4 installed right over 2.2.1 and seeems very stable: ).

Thank you all for what you all do following in the forums and playing with my g tab for The last few weeks has been a needed break for me and I cannot exprese how much it has really helped.

This device would be horrible without the community :D
[G Tablet General] comhack:
Awesome!!! I cannot wait.

Thanks a lot
[G Tablet General] vo2ka:
Hi thank you for all works you do !

I will test this version this week !

I saw in veGan rom there is other language package and it's possible for me to convert in French language, all works good ! Is it possible to have the same

on your rom for the next roms ?

Thanks you so much for what you do !

ps : for my camera issue, i fix it :) it was because i was installed a patch for performance but it's bork my camera. Uninstall and all it's ok
[G Tablet General] techtech:
Is there anyway you can put the language pack back to the system..i have no way to access chinese UI. thanks
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
I just installed 2.2 yesterday and very stable but with a couple of forcestop in gallery. So, how can I upgrade to 2.4? I have downloaded several games and apps from the market already. After the upgrade, will it lose them?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] GTablet:
tyy10002,

I just upgraded to 2.4 from 2.2.1 and everything was fine... I did not wipe anything; just installed rom over the top of the existing one. However I would encourage you to let CW backup the existing rom just in case.

Rick
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's in the framework that TnT created - there's no way for me to add it back. In all honesty, you should call VS Customer Service and ask them to add it back. It was in the original firmware.
[G Tablet General] original G:
Just flashed to 2.4 and all I can say is WOW! Runs even better than the last build! Wasn't expecting that. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] vo2ka:
Ok i install the last version also and it's turn very well !

The new android market version works for me with install

Vending-2.2.6-signed-android_market.update.zip

i just neeed to kill market and framework process, wipe data of framework

with Titianium backup, reboot and all is ok ^^

ps : for me the bugg "process com.cooliris has stopped unexpectedly" for gallery is ok now ^^

Vandi
[G Tablet General] tsuma:
Same here, drained battery to 3% and now getting FC for android.process.acore , but first comes up an FC for Google Services Framework (process.com.google.process.gapps). Maybe the installation instructions for CW should say backup first!
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
Currently running a very stable TnT Lite v. 2.2 and curious about upgrading to 2.4. Just have a quick question. Does this wipe out any saved settings and will I have to start over again on angry birds or can I somehow back everything up?
[G Tablet General] palmop:
I first backed up the firmware via ClockWorkMod. Then went into Titanium Backup and backed up everything there. With that said, upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4 went without a hitch, didn't need to restore any data. Angry Birds was just fine :)
[G Tablet General] mdpark84:
Picked up one of these on Saturday, flashed to 2.2 at the time because stock was terrible, flashed to 2.21 yesterday. Everything seemed pretty good but when I powered it on, had a constant force close for almost everything. I tried upgrading to 2.4 but same issue. I downloaded CWM and cleared my user data. I used the non titanium method to fix the Market and voila! Life is good. I've installed some of my usual apps and loving it. 2.4 is definitely zippier than the previous versions. Awesome job! Really looking forward to see future releases but along with your note, looking forward to taking it into work tomorrow to show it off. ;)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It does not, but I would still recommend backing up first in case something goes wrong. ie. titanium backup for anything critcal, like AB! :)
[G Tablet General] Pazzu510:
Tnx for the Tnt. I have been using tnt lite 2.2 since the day i bought the thing, i didnt even used the viewsonic firmware and there is nothing i can regret of.

BTW: Anything changes in the video playback in tnt lite 2.4?. i have been having problems with mp4 video playback; it is choopy and it has an audio delay. I had to transform files from MP4/Mpeg - 4 video to h.264 Mpeg4 - AVC video which has neither the best cuality of graphics nor the best compresion. It is not even an easy task with all the series I have. :(

Anyway, tnx again for the tnt lite, it is a very good work.
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
2.4 rocks.

Flashed 2.4 over 2.2.1 after backup and clearing cache in CWrecovery and it runs great (keeping all my user data and settings).

I have tried VEGGAn and zPad, but always come back to this ROM. Don't take me wrong, I do like and appreciate all of them, but this (TnT) UI has the most appeal to me for this type of device.

Anyway, about 4 hours on 2.4 and so far very stable and responsive.

Thanks a lot ROEBEET!
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Thanks a lot for the ROM. Loving it.

Just one caveat... I am constantly getting the "Google Services Framework" Force close error over and over again.

Any ideas?

I upgraded from Cyanogen Mod (didn't like it, looks exactly like the one on my phone and well.. this is a tablet, not a phone!)
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Did you wipe your user data before flashing? That will fix it. Back up with titanium first.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I don't have any "data" to speak of. So I'll just boot into clockwork recovery and wipe the data.

Do I have to re-install the ROM once I wipe the data?

Thanks for the quick reply.
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
+1. Tried VEGAn and I came right back to TnT.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
No, just wiping data in cwm should be good, no reinstall unless there's still trouble.
[G Tablet General] jaw6fl:
Installed 2.4 from 2.2. Still love tnt as my ROM. I have noticed that the notifcation button tends to lock forcing me to reboot to remove notification... from: HOME SCREEN > MENU>NOTIFCATIONS. I have cleared all user data etc... any ideas? Thanks for your efforts!
[G Tablet General] dirt4618:
Flashed to 2.4 after backing everything up with cwm and titanium, worked perfectly.

Excellent work once again roebeet. Can't wait to see what you can come up with if we every get the kernel source.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Roebeet is secretly working on fixing Gtab LCD viewing angle issue and turn it into Super AMMOLED screen! :)

Please Roebeet!!
[G Tablet General] brwatters:
Why are these files uploaded in far format? If in zip we could just down load and install directly to gtab? ?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I think he does it because some people use Clockwork, and some people don't. When they used to be zip files I remember people thinking they were for use with Clockwork and it not working. You would have to unzip them and then take out the update.zip file for clockwork. Or unzip and put the update.zip and recovery folder on your SD card.

Kind of a no win either way because someone always wants things done differently. So, I am just glad there are folks out there to make this stuff and i use it however they package it....
[G Tablet General] mscdex:
This is noted in the caveats section on the first page. The solution is to tap on one of the notification icons in the upper right corner and that'll fix it until you reboot.
[G Tablet General] zombiedad:
Gtab no longer takes a charge?

Hmm...I flashed my gtab to 2.2.1 yesterday (awesome work btw). I've since flashed to 2.4 with no issues.

At some point last night though, even with the charger plugged in, I get no indicator LED on the device that it's taking a charge, and I have about 66% battery life left to figure it out before I have a brick.

Is anyone experiencing something similar? I've verified the outlet is working, etc...
[G Tablet General] original G:
I wondered this yesterday. but as was stated i'll take it as it comes. i just DL'd another file browser app from the market that handles rar and zip. i use that when i need to extract rar updates.
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
Bought my g tablet yesterday and I must say this rom is wonderful! My Droid Inc has never been used this infrequently. Props to all devs for clockwork and this rom.
[G Tablet General] LuisB3:
Well I went from 2.20 which was very stable to 2.40 and immediately crapped out. I am getting forced close on almost every app including my Launcher Pro. I tried booting into CW and wiping the cache but still same problem. I even reinstalled 2.40 with the same issues so I went back to 2.20. Now things are still screwed up...force close on Launcher Pro and other apps like Astro FM. Any way to fix this quick before I restore from an older backup? Not a big deal but I have added a lot of apps since my last Titanium backup.

P.S. Before you say it...I know I know I should have backed up right before the update. But all the others went so smoothly I took a chance...fail!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think it's user data wipe time. :(

It's a known issue, probably performance pack related. You can "fix" is by clicking on the notification icon, as it seems to clear it out without having to reboot.

Yes, that's why I changed to .rar - it's like a red flag to the downloader that it's not an update.zip and needs to be extracted to be used.

Since we have two sets of users here (clockworkmod and standard recovery) it seemed the best compromise.

Wifi does not work

I just updated to 2.40. I love everything about it. I would have returned the viewsonic without this rom update. The stock rom is useless. I do have one problem since updating my tablet. The wifi will not work. It just gets stuck at obtaining a address. Can anyone help?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've only seen this issue on a VEGAn prototype, and that was because I was using a bad library. So far, I've had no issues with WiFi but YMMV on each Wifi router.

Wifi is the same as stock, btw - there is no difference.
[G Tablet General] LuisB3:
That's what I thought. I can't get Titanium BU to work either so I can't even access my backups. Oh well...no worries. I love TNT Lite too much to complain!
[G Tablet General] Stuccohead:
Went from 2.2.1 to 2.4.0 everything smooth. This tablet does everything I need sms with GV, Phone via Skype, navigation with bluetooth gps, chrome2phone, New Market, gesture search, Remote RDP. Ive been running it hard and its stable as can be.

EDIT: When I log onto XDA app it crashes but it did that even on CM-6.1-B4.
[G Tablet General] jamesgf:
Ive been running a rooted stock system since saturday when I picked this thing up and finally had enough of it. Installed clockwork and TnT 2.4.0 using the guide and everything worked perfectly. So much better now, can't thank you enough Roebeet and everyone who made this possible.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Well I knew it couldn't last. Using TNT 2.2, just installed Rock Player, and suddenly started getting force closes like crazy. Every 10 seconds. Rebooted a few times but that's not doing it. I wonder if I screwed up the "mount, unmount" etc... partof the install.

Anyway, the exact message is, "The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I get it at immediate boot up. I can't get into settings. Not a whiz at this, so I'll have to read through some posts. Maybe an easy fix if I run through ClockworkMod or something, but again, don't really understand that yet. I only rooted/flashed once so far. So maybe I did it wrong.

Fun while it lasted though :)
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
I wanted to add my thanks to Roebeet for all of the work he and others have put into making the GTab useful. I have had my unit since 11/1 and went through a couple of weeks trying to decide whether to return the unit. Since then I have been through 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 and now 2.4. I am amazed how far this unit has come. I have the new market running and so far it is running well. All of my other apps are running fine. Thanks again for making this such a useful device. It's a shame that Viewsonic doesn't get it. I think they want to be an IPad clone. But Android is for those of us who would never have an Apple product and don't want to be assimilated. Thanks again.

Note: I also have had the FC that starts when the battery gets too low and have had to reload from scratch. I wonder what that is all about.
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
@ battery low:

Just now, while reading my emails and replying to some FB posts, the "tab" went to a shutdown because of low battery. Plugged it in, turned on and it's running like a champ.

Using 2.4 for over 24hrs without a hiccup.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Oops... mistake post.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Wipe your cache.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
I can't get into my settings. It keeps giving me a force close. Unless you mean the cache within Clockmodrecovery?????

Edit..I wiped partition cache in ClockworkMod Recovery three times with reboots but it didn't solvethe problem. I'll redo the root tomorrow, and I'll watch your Youtube video on it also. I had a feeling I screwed up step 10 in Part 2 from the guide I used.."[GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod, TnT Lite 2.2, Flash, and Market Fix". Maybe that will fix it. I will repost tomorrow.
[G Tablet General] xHVGx:
Just a quick question. Is the battery meter broken or is it simply that im getting super battery life?? Its been at 100% for a while now...
[G Tablet General] anlog:
You need to let the battery fully drain and fully recharge (charge until green light + 30 mins). That should recalibrate the meter after a flash.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
You may also want to do a data wipe if clearing cache didn't work. It's a pain, but in my experience, the FC's sometimes take a data wipe if clearing cache alone doesn't fix it.
[G Tablet General] wthf:
Thanks. I did some research on wifi and I now know there are two types of wifi, ad-hoc and industry mode. Some tablets will not work with ad-hoc (this is a older wifi connection) and this is what I was trying at work. I got home and my home wireless router is industry mode and everything works great. Thanks XDA for making a not so great tablet into a great and fun machine
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Adhoc should work on the Gtablet if you are using TnT 2.4, since the wifi parameters were changed to support it. It is one of the changes noted on first page.
[G Tablet General] jpmi23:
Ok... question... I'm running Vegan B3 right now. It's nice, but looks a lot like my phone. Curious, can I rename the .rar to .zip and flash in clockwork?

EDIT: I just re-read the original post. My bad.
[G Tablet General] gunsjoe:
no you have to unpack the rar.
[G Tablet General] camberiu:
Upgrading from 2.2 to 2.4

Dumb question, but it is not practical to search over 130+ pages of messages to find the answer.

How do I upgrade from 2.2 to 2.4? Do I just flash it again or do I have to bring the tablet back to the factory ROM and re-flash again?

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] anjenaire:
2.2 to 2.4

Yup. Just make sure to delete the recovery folder file and the other update.zip file (not sure that is necessary but cain't hurt) then unzip the rar file onto the internal SD card location and re-flash. I went from 2.2.1 to 2.4 with no issues. Added updated market, re-ran the market fix (steps 6 & 7). Search and ye shall find.
[G Tablet General] LuisB3:
Just don't forget to backup before doing so. I made that mistake and had to do a complete data wipe. After that 2.04 went just fine.
[G Tablet General] kewldude151:
So what is the advantage of going from 2.2 to 2.4?

Also, is there a step by step way of doing the upgrade? Do I just install it like I did for 2.2?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A few people have reported performance gains, but I'm not sure if that's placebo or not. 2.4 adds the 2.2.1 changes and adds the newer framework that the TnT latest firmware has. I don't think it's a major upgrade, personally (and the reason why it's not a 3.0.0).

As for upgrading, you just extract the update.zip and flash it like any other update.

I'm pretty sure that the status is not accurate. It will eventually go down, but it seems to take hours.

I've seen that error a few times. I think a data wipe fixes it, else a re-flash.
