3.0 has been rock solid for me. I've read the changelog, but other than the newer kernel, is there a compelling reason to jump to 3.1?

Also, has anybody seen any improvements or had any problems with 3.1?

Thanks for the great work on the rom(s)! And Merry Christmas!
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
i'm getting an ongoing task that says "scanning sd card" every time i restart the tab. the message takes a loooooong time to go away. anyone else getting this?
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
hey roebeet.. magic smoke live wallpaper FCs in 3.1.

lettin you know...

edit: maps one does too (on first open), then thereafter it loads.
[G Tablet General] SofaKingWeird:
Nice work guys you are awesome. Although its not perfect it's way better than out of the box. I just did the market fix and for the most part it seems really nice. I also ran quadrant and got a 2408. Seems like were on the right path. We really appreciate all your hard work. Happy holidays!!!!!
[G Tablet General] japhule:
Updated from vegan b4. Seems fine. Didn't have to do market fix either.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
I need testers to try this TapNTap framework with Gingerbread animations added to it:

[G Tablet General] pershoot:
also waking up... there is terrible lag. doesn't go away (have to reboot). the same i noticed on 3.0.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
We traced that to calendar syncing. If you use autostarts to disable all instances of calendar, the lag won't come back.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
calendar is disabled via autostarts (startup fields). still ocurrs.

ill look for more instances of it.

thx.
[G Tablet General] Zocky:
TnT 3.1.0 rocks!

Thank you for the update!! I noticed several advancements; I can now scroll through my mail in gmail and the settings tab on the main screen is does funstion now as well.

Tried multiple times. Status 7 every time...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
A few additional comments

First off, the email / contacts / calendar stuff might be unfixable because it seems that everyone has their own opinion and needs, in that area. I'm A-OK with whatever the masses want since I personally don't use them right now, but currently we don't know what that "standard" is. For now, I'm leaving it as is with 2.0.2 because it seems like if I fix one thing, something else breaks. I'm in a catch-22.

If a few you can find a good apk that many of you find to be the best solution overall, I'll certainly add it in a future supplement. That's really the best I can do.

Also, just a heads up that I probably won't be online that much until Friday. And lastly, if you need to ask me something and I don't reply in this thread, it's not because I'm ignoring you but more likely that I missed the post - feel free to send me a PM.

Everyone have a great Turkey Day, tomorrow!

Wiping My User Data?

All or Roebeet;

I found the command file in the update download. Sorry, I didn't actually look there first.

So I've still not done this, but I'm close. The last thing I think I need to figure out is how to wipe my user data. Once I've installed the 2.00 update, what steps do I need to take to wipe the user data?

Thanks, sorry for being such a noob.

Jon
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Enjoy your holiday! You deserve to kick back a bit after all the work you've done here lately.
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
Yup, +1 :) Thanks for keeping the forums a productive, enjoyable place :D
[G Tablet General] brandonc_mail:
Has anyone tried to sideload Touchdown? I know a lot of folks don't like spending $20 on an app- but if I can get my wife's exchange account to sync once wifi is detected- this would be a killer tab. No google contact/calendar sync is very odd.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't remember if you have clockworkmod or not -- if you don't, just wipe it the VS way which is in Settings -- Security -- Factory Restore. If you have clockworkmod recovery, you can wipe data in there.

Good luck!
[G Tablet General] jonspieker:
Roebeet;

No clockworkmod (I think), here it goes. Wish me luck.

Jon

Edit: To be clear, I know I don't have the clockworkmod, I was only indicating that I'm doing it without it.
[G Tablet General] khaytsus:
That's totally fair, so the conflict is that Exchange OR Google calendar works, but not both? Is it possible to do something like get version 2.X for Google sync, and then flash 2.X-E with some files in it that do Exchange? I have no clue.. I see the need for both scenarios. :)

Thanks for all of your hard work so far. :)
[G Tablet General] birchs:
First, Roebeet, you rock! 2.0 is working fantastic for me. Thanks for all your work on this tablet!

I am running 2.0, I was on the latest ZPad release but I changed to this one to check out the new version and I think I'll stick with it for a while. I do have both exchange and gmail contacts and calendar syncing using the stock apps that are in 2.0. I setup exchange like I normally would and that works without issue. Then, and I have to say I think someone pointed this out before, I went into contacts and selected: Menu --> Accounts --> New Account. I added my Gmail account as a corporate type account (since Gmail wasn't an option). It pre-filled everything for me after I put my email and password in. Then I just selected sync contacts and calendar like you would do for an exchange account. At this point I rebooted a few times and now I have both working. That part isn't an exact science but I did do it twice as I forgot to backup when I went to check out the latest ZPad build this afternoon and had to do that part over.

The down side is you have Gmail under your non-gmail email app. I set mine to never sync so I won't get duplicate emails.

I hope that helps those who are trying to get contacts and calendar to sync.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
This is definitely worth a shot; I will give it a try.

UPDATE: HOLY SMOKES THIS WORKS!!! This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Here's a tip for those using Google Apps.

1. Enter your email address (example@googleapp.com)

2. Enter your password.

Next screen, you MUST do the following:

1. In the Domain/Username box, enter: \example@googleapp.com (where example.googleapp.com is the email address used in the prior screen)

2. In the password box, you can either skip it (if you entered your password on the previous screen) or enter it here.

3. In the server address box, you MUST type: m.google.com

That's it!

I told mine to not sync email but to sync contacts and calendar only, and it's syncing calendar PERFECTLY. To get contacts synced without a reboot/restart, I closed the app (in Applications) and then re-started it. I then went into the contacts app and unselected and re-selected the Google app account and it synced right up.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Holy crap, I think this is working, even for a Google Apps account! I first set up my gmail account, mainly to see the settings. Then I went back and set up my Google Apps account, first with username/password and then with mydomain.com\username in the Domain field and then m.google.com as the server, and slowly but surely a bunch of my contacts are populating as we speak. Even with the pictures I gave them in my Google Contacts, so I know these aren't the ones I imported via vCard earlier today. (And the pictures are showing up when I read e-mails in the Gmail mail client, so they're talking to each other.)

Now to wait (since this is going slooooow) to see if the Calendar stuff pops in, too.

Wow. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: Yup, a contact created on my tab now shows up in my Google Apps contact list. So this is working! Now just waiting to see about my calendar stuff.

EDIT 2: And there comes the calendar stuff. Just my personal calendar at this point, but that's a start.

birchs, you get THE gold star of the day! :)
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
That's Ok I installed adw and am using the device up side down, because the screen is 100% better that way. feels kinda strange but nto to bad. :).

getting 1 tomorrow

Hello all I am new to the site and not super saavy updating an OS. I have down loaded the lite 2.0 and the suppliment 2.0.2

Out the box what do you suggest to do. I can put the zip files on a SD or hook it up to my computer.

Am I to update with the OTA or not.

Thanks in advance for the help.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Looks like only one Google calendar syncs with this new method. (My Nexus One lets me choose from all my calendars i display in the main Google calendars app.) Oh well--still better than before.....!
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
the friends widget in launcher pro plus is near identical to friendstream.
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Heck no, I have 2 google calendar's syncing right now. :) it just took a while for the 2nd to start showing up.

:D
[G Tablet General] Reginhild:
New at this and having difficulty with the flash.

Tried the instructions with standard recovery for 2.0 and got an infinite reboot loop.

Tried switching to sdcard method and got infinite reboot again.

Tried installing Clockworkmod and got infinite reboot.

Each time it went through the recovery and showed the status bar go to complete - the the boot loops would start.

Any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Really? Using the method we're talking about here? Hmmmm....!
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
rothnic,

I installed the TapNTap framework with Gingerbread animations package. The install went fine. No issues. Is there anything specific you are looking to have feedback on. I did see the Home Screen menu "fly in" when I did a long press on the home page.

I saw your comment about the type of icons affecting the Market stars. I checked the Market, the stars are still being chopped off.
[G Tablet General] rcgabriel:
Hey pershoot, I tried picking through all the fields in autostarts and disabling calendar and calendar storage (i.e. in During/After Startup, but also in Date/Time/Timezone changed and any others I found).

I tried that, rebooted and still experienced the lag-on-wake issue once. Trying to replicate it again currently (with Vegan beta 4). But I want to verify that I'm not insane, and that it is indeed something more than just Calendar doing this.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Just noticed that after upgrading to 3.1 the app "ES File Explorer" is no longer on my device. It's been replaced with something called "i File explorer" Which, IMHO, sucks. Can't uninstall the "replacement" file explorer either as it won't come up in the list of applications.

Is it just me?
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
I prefer ES File Explorer as well. You can install ES File Explorer from the Market.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Honestly, I keep bouncing back and forth (thanks to clockworkmod and TB). Right now I'm on TnT Lite 3.1.0 as I want to see if the "missing videos" issue occurs here. If it doesn't, it's a metric I can pass onto gojimi after the holidays, so he can delve into that VEGAn bug.

Haven't heard of one of these in awhile - I almost thought it was eradicated. You running old stock, right now? We could never pin down why this happens.

(raises hand). Rothnic, I was going to ask you about this, once things calmed down. Again, you have read my mind! Thank you, sir!

Thanks. I think I know what this is and I should have a supplement in the next hour or so. Should be an easy fix.

Differences are very slight. Mainly the calendar fix and now this Magic Smoke Wallpaper bug. :)

Stock is like this, as well. the bigger the card, the longer it probably takes (I have a 32GB microSD).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I removed it because iFile is more basic (less is more). If you need EStrongs back, you can just install it from the Market. This also allows you to keep up with their frequent updates, since it's now a user app.

I also like Astro, but again that's just my preference.
[G Tablet General] miker2431:
You can uninstall any app using titanium backup, even if it came pre-installed on your system.
[G Tablet General] ksahrakar:
Yes. Trying to install over old stock. 3389 would not install over native old ROM despite repeated attempts. Went ahead with 2.2 install for now... BTW - works great!! Thanks all involved in making it!!
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
ok still getting the slowdown bug on wake. although i didn't try to use autostart program to kill it.

however, wifi seems to stay alive now! i'm not using any program to do anything to keep it alive. i put it to sleep last night, woke up today, turned it on, and wifi was on. all my gtalk ims and email were waiting for me to open. sweet!

but that slowdown bug defeats it because now i have to reboot lol.
[G Tablet General] vsc:
On first boot of 3.1 videos on sdcard2 were deleted. After reloading the files and multiple restarts the files are sticking...

I found the same for Vegan B4.

Food for thought....
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Then it's mod agnostic - it's probably their new kernel and a bug (and a BAD one).

TnT Lite is 95% stock, so it's very likely that stock has this same issue. I haven't pinned down the "why" yet, but I'm thinking it has something to do with the scanning process. ie. perhaps when it's scanning and you shutdown the device, it does this. Just a theory.
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
TNT 310

Robeet,

I have loaded the stock 3369 rom, rooted it, installed CWM and the tegra driver update and it runs beautifully with one exception, the camera is broken with the tegra update. Is there a single fix for that particular issue? I want to keep the above setup and and just fix the camera. Is that possible?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Which one did you use? That was an issue at first but was corrected in later performance pack builds.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
x2 -- the vanilla performance pack (the first one that existed for the VEGA) borks the camera. Later mod updates fixed this, but I'm not certain if we had a standalone ZIP for that.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I wonder if the enhancement stuff Rothnic just uploaded has the old one in it? Don't know what the original poster used?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
As far as I can tell, he lifted it from TnT Lite 3.1.0 and just made some alterations for stock users. But, I hadn't tested it.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3.1.1 supplement released (this layers on top of 3.1.0, not a full update)

Two changes:

1- Fixed the broken Magic Smoke Wallpaper

2- Added rothnic's animation enhancements, as he was nice enough to make an apk for TnT Lite! I really wanted these in there, so I'm glad we finally have them.

I will be offline very soon, with spotty access until Sunday. A happy holidays to all!!!
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
TNT 3.1

I used the update-smb_a1002-3389-user.zip that showed up a day or two ago. I rooted that, installed CWM, then the tegra update. I'm going to see which components corrupts the camera by removing components from the tegra update zip. What I'm seeing are higher quadrant numbers with the tegra driver update, just need to fix the camera.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
These are the two libs that need to be fixed:

libnvodm_imager.so

libnvmm.so

You can pull these off of any recent TnT Lite update, such as 3.1.0, and then either alter what you have or push them up via root explorer or ADB.
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
TNT 3.1

You guys are genius! This is a great community.
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
cool. downloading it now. curious to see what these animation enhancements are.

thanks roebeet!
[G Tablet General] rushless:
3.1 appears to have issues. Since I have had the G, have had random boots, missing apps. etc with different roms, but NEVER a slowed down device. I am averaging 570 for a Q score, after just using the the device for a short time from fresh boot.

Do believe it is time to bail back to 3.0. Maybe the newer kernel has issues?
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I did a 100% complete wipe and then fresh install of 3.10 and, just like you (and others), I experienced the massive slowdown after just a bit of usage:(

I've switched over to Beta4 for the time being. I know the awesome devs will be all over this after the holidays. I love my G-Tab now :D
[G Tablet General] reisa:
Music player issue

Hmm ... can't get the included music player (which looks to be TnT stock) to stabilize and play music. It constantly skips around the music files - sounding like it's trying to play something, but never can. I'll try an alternate player to see if the problem is replicated. I believe the system has had ample time to scan the media on the internal SD card where my music is stored.

BTW ... I did a full wipe and clean install for this, then restored apps and app data via Titanium Backup, but did NOT restore system data.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I appreciate Roeby's work (of course), but seems something is major wrong with the most recent update from VS, that he used. Did not have the issue with 3.0, so going back to my full backup of 3.0.

Sure hope the problems do not impact stock update, or more dirt on top of VS efforts to get out the hole they made in the first place.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3.0.0 and 3.1.0 have the same kernel, and most of the same files. I haven't had a slowdown issue (yet), and I usually do data wipes. I will be watching it closely, the next few days. Stock might not be affected if it's a bad app, ie Calendar or one of the gapps.

I'm actually very concerned about the video/image deletions, so much so that I already called VS CS about it. I'm wondering if there's a way to turn off SDCARD2 scanning completely.

For the slowdown issue, more metrics would help - ie if you have bad slowdown issues in 3.1.x, but you are A-OK with 3.0.0, then that will help me pin down the root cause, ie. possibly a bad application.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Dang! The kernel WOULD have made sense.... I am testing 3.0 and does not appear to have to slow down issue. 3.1 did slow down (at least my install of it).

Not had that issue before, but had seen reports of it. Sd card deletions are EXTREMELY unusual. There would have to be specific I/O commands to zap files. If it were a data corruption, it would not be so specific to images and video. Something funky is going on. Not had the issue myself- yet at least :eek:

Back to 2400 level and have tried after reboot and sleep mode and opening apps. Wonder why 3.1 would be going into slow mo- mode?

Added:

I have tried every app I can think of to replicate the problem in 3.0, but consistent 2350 to 2450 range scores. It was easy to test since it was all the apps I updated and saved to Titanium. When I restored, I had to update those apps again, so tested them out :)

No issues yet- fluke perhaps?... I do know that with 3.1, though perhaps a coincidence, I would get slow down and 500 range scores to back it up with relative numbers.

Anyways, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
3.1.0 has the fixed Calendar, and I believe I altered a few gapps to be closer to the VEGAn build (was hoping it would fix the stars missing, but no luck - 3.1.0 came off the Tegra-based gapps whereas 3.0.0 might not have).

If 3.1.0 is consistently bad versus 3.0.0, these are the apps I would find as the most suspicious. The only change in 3.1.0 is the newer TnT base, which of course could be a factor as well.
[G Tablet General] vsc:
An observation...

I was under the impression that I was seeing slowdown with 3.1, but then I started running top and watching processor utilization just after wakeup. In short what was running should have been running and process utilization was not high for any one process or overall.

One thing to note is that when android.process.media does its thing it does tie up the sdcard(s) for a long time thus anything else trying to get access to those channels will slow down (and by no small measure). Note that android.process.media's processor utilization is not that high, so I think I/O bandwidth is the limiting factor.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
It is all good, my friend :) I restored 3.0 and happily watching Hawaii Five-O on Fancast :) Smooth as buuutta!

Rest a few days! If 3.0 shipped with the G, it would be SOLD OUT for the holidays :)
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Roebeet, forgot to tell you that you have the old Gallery 3D in TnT Lite with the accelerometer problem. I have the newer one in the enhancement pack.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This is the same one in the VEGAn build, correct? I can just pull it from there and drop it into a future supplement.

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Rushless,

I saw you backed down to version 3.0.

I experienced a major slowdown when I was testing TnT Lite 3.0 beta 5 for Roebeet, then when I went to the official 3.0 release everything was fine. I've had no issues with 3.1 or 3.1.1. Speed is great, smooth response, etc.

I was going to suggest to wipe clean again and give it another try. Maybe it's a timing thing on how the system data is loaded, or something along those lines.

If someone else has a major slowdown issue, it will be interesting to know if a 2nd data wipe/install will address the slowdown issue.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
No way to know for sure, but from a practical standpoint, 3.0 has had no issues before and none since recovering a complete back up. 3.1 was the first rom I had mega slow down with, regardless of what may of actually caused it.

Everything is groovy with 3.0, so happy to wait :)

The one thing though is Rockplayer. When I try to use hardware decode, it will play for a few seconds and then resets the device to the sparkle splash screen. Weird, but have not tried hardware decode before, so not sure if always an issue, regardless of rom.

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I have seen you talk about the sparkle splash screen. I don't know why you have that unless it is an artifact from a Zpad rom you installed at one time. Did you change it? If not, you still have some Zpad stuff floating around...
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
3.1.0 is working fine for me. experienced slowdown this morning after waking the tab up from about an 8 hr sleep. i remember reading that syncing was most likely causing the issue so i disabled my calendar widget (i have calendar pad running) and also disabled fancy widget (even though i have it set to never refresh). also disabled No Lock.

haven't had any slowdowns since. so i added my calendar pad widget back on and still no slowdown. i left fancy widget and no lock off. don't need no lock anyway for tnt lite since it doesn't have a lock screen. i'm gonna have to test it more by leaving the screen off for longer. right now, at most, i've had the screen off for about half an hour.
[G Tablet General] ctendell:
wow what a development path!

The speed of new releases is awesome but........was long press restored in this one? I'm still running 2.4 because of this issue.

Oh and.....Merry Christmas!!!!

Loving the new animations!!!!

Happy Holidays all!
