I've got two gtabs. Upgraded both to 4.0. Wiped user data and cache partition on both before loading with CWM. One caught market right away. Normal market fix worked, and I was up and running in no time.

The other one would not respond to the market fix (TiB method). Tried fix permissions in CWM, rebooted, etc. Tried over half a dozen times and rebooted every time. After trying several variations of the market fix, I gave up and reloaded 4.0 over. Again I wiped user data and cache partition, fix permissions, but also wiped the dalvic cache. For whatever reason this time the market fix worked right away and I was able to then reload everything back. Have no idea why? Maybe something with the new market, but it appears the usual market fix we have been using over many builds is not working for several people. All I can say is once you enter your Google info and the market fix takes and everything is working, 4.0 shines. Quadrant scores are >3000 and the lag seems to be gone without using a custom kernel / kernel patch. For those not able to get the market fix working, keep trying and give the dalvic cache wipe a try. I'm not holding it out as "the fix", and why one tab needed it and the other didn't, I can't say. YMMV. Best of luck, and thanks to the Roebeet and the other devs for feeding us constant upgrades!
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
I'm still having market issues too. I have done several reboots, tried the basic market fix, then edited build.prop, and the market shows but then each reboot results in showing only 1 app (YouTube symphony orchestra oddly enough) and I get the terms and conditions page each time as well.

Any ideas?
[G Tablet General] gokuden:
This. This is my problem
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
512MB of 2GB is being used for the data2loop, so keep that in mind. How many apps do you have installed?

Sorry to hear that, but at least you are on 3.1.2 which means this isn't just a 4.0.0 issue. I've been OK (so far) and have wiped my own device, recently.
[G Tablet General] japhule:
I was wondering why my cwm backups were larger and my app storage is much less. I guess this explains it.
[G Tablet General] calraleigh:
there is nothing installed on my Gtablet, I did factory reset before I upgraded my Gtablet. what I have right now is whatever comes with TNT 4.0.

Almost full Market fix

Hi,

I've seen several people complaining about market issue.

I'd like to chip in info that help getting almost full market.

- I have flashed numerious Tnt-Lite's (from ver 3.xx to ver. 4.00), Vegan's, and the following procedures work everytime for me:

1) Erase data/factory reset and clear cache (in Clockwork Recovery ).

2) flash new rom.

3) Install Root Explorer.

4) Browse in Root Explorer to /system. Then click on Mount R/W.

5) Long click on build.prop and click on Open In Text Editor.

6) Scroll down to the line ro.build.fingerprint=Flextronics/harmony/harmony/:2.2/FRF91/hudson-20101130-142332-TnT_SVN_3053:user/test-keys

7) Replace that with the following text: ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

8) Click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O.

9) Reboot.

10) Make sure Market is running, do search for tv.com, adw launcher, zeam launcher, launcher pro (they will not show up).

If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work.

11) Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running

12) Scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET**.

13) Go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.

14) Start Market again and you will get the Market Error.

15) Reboot and wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything!

16) Restart Market again. Searches for previously missing apps now show up.

512mb gets displaced? Yikes! Glad I stayed with your vintage 3.14 :)

I only have 300mb of internal space free and 800mb of device app storage. This means I would be either out of one or low on the other.

I chose space and stability over semi-stable extra speed :)
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
Thanks. I've been trying steps 4 forward. I have never done a factory reset but want to try.

Is there a thread specific to this? My concern is losing apps with the wipe and having to repay for root explorer.
[G Tablet General] calraleigh:
I did not have clockwork installed, It doesn't seem to allow me to install anything now( no space). I download clockwork .08 and did a upgrade recover, nothing show up. help! ?
[G Tablet General] realsol:
You can try all the steps you want. Market will be disabled again. The hpenes to me yesterday so I went to Vegan instead. But reinstalled TNT again today hopping for it to work making sure I cleared everything. Back to Vegn... for now.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
800MB app storage? Was that on purpose? Default should be ~1.88GB.

Anyone whose repartitioned for 1GB data shouldn't be using data2loop, definitely agree with you there.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
if you want to remove dataloop upon first flash of tntlite4:

http://droidbasement.com/gtab/utils/iandop_reversal-tnt_lite4.zip

this is meant to be flashed right after you flash tnt lite 4 (prior to rebooting).

please let me know if there are issues with it.
[G Tablet General] calraleigh:
I got clockwork installed and partition my sdcard to 2014 and 0. let see if that fixed the problem.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
You can use Titanium (free from market) to back up root explorer and other apps.
[G Tablet General] calraleigh:
Cool, partitioning did the trick.

thanks

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
One issue (and yeah, I've already been bouncing this around in my head) is that the 512MB loop file would still exist in /data - you're not deleting that, correct? If not, then the user should also do a data wipe, just to clean that up.
[G Tablet General] pershoot:
I haven't put a remove in there (was meant to be flashed prior).

Ill condition it and stick it in there. Will update later on.

Market Fix not working for TNT Lite 4.0

I have updated to TNT Lite 4.0.0 and it's great. The one issue I'm facing is the Market Fix. I have tried it a few times but still not able to get certain apps like Pandora, es file explorer. Is there another fix for Version 4.0.0.

I have also tried updating the build.pop file with the ro.build.footprint update in another thread.

Any other suggestions? It's frustrating not having the full app working. Also the Delete Data doesn't work, just an FYI.
[G Tablet General] amusedkid:
Same :) 3.1.4 FTW. Love its stability at the moment. Its mightily fast for what i use it for (pdf annotating, reading, videos, games). No point rocking the boat.
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
Same here homie roebeet please fix this.
[G Tablet General] jdnyc:
You are correct. I have tried doing a factory reset and had the same problems with Market (tried all of the fixes). Hopefully 4.+.+ will correct the issue some of us are having.

Roebeet, thanks again for all of the work but it seems some of us are having Market issues that the fixes won't... well, fix. Everything else was spectacular!

I'll settle with the lower quadrant scores and a full market until the next update. Bummer.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I heard that at least one 3.1.4 user was affected as well (the market problem) - I will need to setup 3.1.4 and 4.0.0 clean systems to see if 4.x is the problem, or something else.

I defnitely had the market working when I tested this, and I did a data wipe. So I'm not sure what's going on, yet - need to put my dev unit back together, as it's in pieces at the moment. :O
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
No problems with my 4.0.0 install

Actually there is one issue, quadrant force closing, but everything else is great. Market works fine for me, had to do the fix twice but it has been complete and stable since. I must say that the web experience is much improved and definately much faster loading and browsing. I did do a data wipe on install. Keep up the good work.

Oops posted too soon: Suffered an unexpected shutdown, upon restart the market was hosed as posted by others here. Had to redo the market fix four(4) times before getting the expected error instead of the "server error". Upon restart market worked fine again.
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
If TnT Lite is going to stay with the stock kernel as a very stable build, the dataloop hack seems a little on the hacky side. The majority of users have no idea what it does, or what the implications are. At the very least, it is good you put this out there pershoot.
[G Tablet General] bblackmoor:
I have no idea what "the dataloop hack" is or what it does.

I saw the same problem on 3.1.4 when I reverted back once from 4.0.0 but after a factory reset in CWM, I have been good after a few reboots... just confirming that I did see the same thing on 3.1.4 but it was only after going back from 4.0.0. Maybe that helps. I can provide any other info that helps with your work. Thanks again.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
I have 1gb of apps and 860mb remaining, so if 512mb is displaced, I would only have 300 ish mb left ;)
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
I just wanted to report that I am also having market trouble. It worked fine for about 24 hours after I flashed 4.0. I rebooted this evening and it is gone... or should I say extremely limited. Tried the fix with no luck.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm considering pulling it - if the market problems can be traced back to the data2loop change, that would be the clincher. Still don't know the root cause, yet.

"Pulling it" would mean a supplement that does the same thing that pershoot's update does. Again, I'm watching this closely as I'm not sure yet if this the right path.
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
Roe it is def in 4.0 on reboot i tried differet way tb wipes cwm wipes clearing cache
[G Tablet General] bobtran:
Things are not quite right with "ROM MANAGER" with v4.0.0 . Manager no longer backs up the current Rom, it just causes the tablet to boot into clockworkmod where you have to perform a manual backup with default name instead of the name entered when starting Rom-manager backup. It appears as if Rom-manager signals a restart into clockworkmod and then abends.

Quadrant is now working without error after the unexpected shutdown. Showing 3095. Market continues to be error free after being fixed.
[G Tablet General] SRTDOC:
I am having no problem with the full market. Working great here.
[G Tablet General] bittrix:
Had to revert.

The current iteration of the loopback stuff gets unstable after a few full shutdown sequences. dmesg shows clusters of ext-2 errors, and in tnt there are media handler FC's. Seems to go away when wifi is turned off - perhaps the wifi loopback is conflicting with the filesystem loopback? Market was working fine in 4.0.0, but when the instability started, it reset itself ("click accept to start") and even the full fix wouldn't restore the full list.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Seems like it's more than just one or two people - I'm leaning towards removing it, at this point. I'm going to put some time into this tomorrow but unless I hear some good arguements to keep it, I'm probably going to pull it out with a 4.0.1 supplement.

The 512MB requirement itself was something I didn't really think all the way through - in retrospect, it's a heavy requirement for the speed bump. Like a customized kernel, it can be added by the user if they want. Probably the hardest part will be the actual removal of the loopback file - I could add a line in the script to delete it, if it's there.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
4.0 is working fine for me, the full Market has survived many reboots. I simply wiped Cache and Dalvik and then flashed 4.0 right over 3.1.2 - everything is fine. I'll wait until there is a proper TNT update (not UAT) that has been massaged by Roe & Co before switching out this version (unless a demon crops up of course) :)
[G Tablet General] realsol:
roebeet,

For my 2 cents, yes indeed this is a problem, but I think it has to do with the the GoogleFrameWork at this point, not the Market.

I spent the night rebooting to see if I could figure out what might be causing the problem. I am running Fancy Weather and I can always tell when the market is going to fail as Fancy goes back to it's default settings. So when I see no weather, I know when I go to the market it will be blank.

I thought that I would just backup all of the system settings in Titanium Backup and that would fix it when things went wrong. It did for a few minutes, but then everything went down. I believe it is the framework.

I am a Windows Programmer, so not much help here. But I thought I would give my 2 cents.
[G Tablet General] realsol:
I do have to say that right now VEGAn seems more stable, but I am spoiled over the quickness and speed of TNT, thus is the reason I will help anyway i can.
[G Tablet General] johnkapp:
Well, after 24 hours and one reboot, Market is back to the default again. It worked fine all day yesterday, but last night I shut the unit down. This morning when I started it up, everything seems to be fine, but Market is back at the Accept screen.

After doing the standard Market fix, when I restart, I am bombarded with FCs. I am going to redo the 4.0 install and remove the loopback to see if it helps.
[G Tablet General] Tester30:
Please help!!

After installing 4.0.0 everything was working great.

Yesterday turned tablet on to find only ViewSonic birds.... Not even ClockWorkMod works. Is there anything can be done to restore/load the system back on?

Greatly appreciated!!

Gingerbread

Does anyone know if the gtab will ever get gingerbread? Just saw that at the CES there were tablets that are coming out with it in 1Q-2011.

I noticed the specs on the some of those tabs coming out and I think the gtab would be able to hold its own against them. Except for not having gingerbread.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
market issues too

turned on my gtab first thing in the morning and the market was having same issues as everyone else. No clue as to why just wanted to share that this must be some kind of bug in software.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
haven't been able to replicate the market issue, yet

Just a heads up. I'm still not sure if this is related to the data2loop change, 4.0.0 in general or something else entirely.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Keep in mind the Data2Loop is only creating a Virtual Loop Back device for the "data" structures... I also noticed he is only creating a 512 Meg block... Is this enough for all that is necessary under that structure (dont know android all that well)?

I found this note the statement:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=864174

"

- A second partition (same as app2sd - Min 512 mb - 1024mb is highly recommended - max 2048 MB or there will be issues with market) in any format (as long as the kernel supports - ext2/3/4 support is default in most kernels - Ext4 or ReiserFS is recommended).

"

Another "take heed" to using a virtual loop back for important data:

After rebuilding from scratch with 4.0 because Market quit, doing Rothnic's loopback removal fix, doing the market fixes, and loading apps with Titanium, I am working again. I have repowered several times and so far I have no problems with Market or other apps.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Going to pull 4.0.0 right now

Too many posts on issues that seem to go back to 4.0.0. Will leave it in the archives, but I'm pulling it for now.

As for what I'm going to do, I'm not sure yet. I want to at least wait until later today to see if TnT finally releases an update, plus I think the data2loop is going to stay out, moving forward - probably an add-on that I will mention as a supplement, but not embedded.

I'm probably going to treat data2loop like the customized kernels - I'll mention them, and I'll link to them. But it won't be part of the base package.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I'm running 4.0 and I have ZERO problems with the Market or anything else for that matter.

I upgraded to 4.0 and didn't have to re-do the Market "fix" like I normally had to do previously every time you released a new ROM.

This is weird. As it seems to be "Device specific" problems, not "ROM" specific problems. As 5 people don't have the Market problems and 5 people do have the market problems. Strange.
[G Tablet General] witkowskipe:
Have had no problems with 4.0.0, it simply runs. While I have gotten really good at reloading this thing without even using the instructions anymore, I hope that I don't have to do it again too soon, hopefully there could be a supplement to clean any problems up rather than a full reload next time.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Agreed. I'm pulling it due to uncertainty and that I don't want anyone else installing it until these things can be ironed out. the Market issues can be completely separate and just coincidental.

My plan is to hold off for a "real" TnT update, which I keep hoping will be this week, then release a 4.1.0 off that. I am probably going to pull data2loop though.
[G Tablet General] dvanarts:
I am also running 4.0.0 and haven't had any problems.
[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Keep in mind guys... having layered file systems always increases risk of corruption...

Chen updated his script and added sync which I believe will further reduce the chance of corruption...

Corruption is never guaranteed but is always possible... I suspect the Market is not resilient to corruption of the cache which for some is breaking the market.
[G Tablet General] nbowes:
I just did a fresh install of 4.0 and flashed the data2loop remover right after. Then cleared data, cleared the cache, and rebooted. Fixed the market with the clear data/force close method. Two reboots later and the market is gone.

I think I might just keep 4.0 for a couple days, though. I can do without the market that long, I think. (And I might try the fingerprint fix too.) But I want to see the next tntLite update. Just switched back from Vegan 5.1--it kept rebooting randomly.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Roebeet,

I you do repost with the loop, could you please give heads-up to users they will lose 512mb of their device storage? As mentioned yesterday, I only have 300mb free of internal storage and about 800mb remaining free of device storage (have 1gb already installed).

That is a LOT of app space to lose and if some folks get within that, they will start to get "low on space" warnings which means no app updates or new installs until space is relieved. Users will also run into FW install issues when too low with device space.

Thanks!

Boot Loop/Force close

Is there any way to clear user data without clockworkmod?

I am using 4 and get forceclose issues

Reset to 3389 build and get bootloops

Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm not adding it back. The 512MB space loss is actually the main reason why I'm not re-adding it to future updates. I mentioned this in an earlier post, but I didn't think this all the way through and that's a big space hit.

It's going to be relegated to "add it yourself" status, in future updates (just like the customized kernels).
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not if you have boot loops -- you have to install clockworkmod to fix those, because you can't get into the UI to run a factory restore.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I upgraded from tnt lite 3.1.4 to tnt lite 4.0 last night. Surprisingly, unlike a lot of posts I had no issues. Even the market was there with all my apps showing after the flash. I thought I might have done something wrong so I checked the system and found gtab tnt lite 4.0 and when I ran quadrant (which ran just fine) it clocked at 3102.

First reboot after flash the gtab came up pretty fast and the only thing I noticed was a bit of choppiness on pressing icons and scrolling. I rebooted a couple of times just to kick things in and it is running smoothly. No issues this morning with anything after having been turned off all night.

I haven't a clue why this went so smoothly and easily for me but I'm having some strong reservations about the data2loop hack after reading this thread and the data2loop thread. Right now I'm liking 4.0 but wishing that it didn't have data2loop or that there was some simple way to remove it without losing memory space.

If something does start heading south I will post it here but so far its been a super easy upgrade producing a nice running machine. Just having everything go that well makes me nervous waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Boot Loop/Force close

Thanks Roebeet, I have reloaded 4 (from sdcard2) and have the forceclose issue including settings & keyboard! do you know of any other utilities that I can use that would not void my warranty?

maybe a script

maybe I should try and reload 3.14
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You voided your warranty as soon as you ran one of these mods. So, now that that's over with, revel in your non-warranty device. :)

I would install clockworkmod - it's really an awesome tool and will fix you right up. There are ways to undo cwm, if you ever need to bring the device in for service - ie. just run a stock ROM and it will wipe it.
[G Tablet General] copperdawgnc:
Thanks

Thanks again Roebeet

I was unware that I could "ie. just run a stock ROM and it will wipe it." so I will install clockworkmod my concern as you indicated was being able to put it back to stock in case of service required
[G Tablet General] cgrzadziel:
Have been running 4.0.0 for a couple days now and no real issues. The market was fixed with the cache delete steps and the fingerprint changes.

I did my install over the existing out of box and patched version. I see a few posts about a "clean install" I assume that means reformatting the internal storage. Has someone posted any steps for doing something like that?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I believe the last two stock ROM's have wiped clockworkmod - I've noticed this everytime I've tested them as I have to go back and fix cwm afterwards. For some reason, the older stock ROM's didn't do that.

A user data wipe -- it's mentioned in my first post (depends on what recovery you have). If you are working then I would say leave it be, but if you start having FCs then a data wipe is recommended.
[G Tablet General] camberiu:
Upgrated from 3.1.4 to 4.0 yesterday and have not had any issues so far. The market is working fine and my lag issue is completely gone. At least so far, 4.0 seems to be a winner.
[G Tablet General] goalweiser:
I installed 4.0 last night. Currently no problems. I was able to restore all my apps via Titanium Backup. WiFi is a go. No looping on my end. Market is working beautifully. I upgraded about 15 apps after the clean install.

I wiped the data and cache after installing 4.0 and before rebooting for the first time.

If I experience any other problems, I'll list them as well. Thanks roebeet!
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
Seeing that I'm one of the folks having an issue with the market after switching to 4.0, I am going to return back to the previous release of TnTlite. I am wondering if there is anything I should do before flashing to this older version? Do I just treat it like any other rom change? Or do I need to do any extra wiping?

Thanks

[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
That term "wiping" always cracks me up when I read it:) You should be able to just do the first 2 that say wipe in clockwork and be alright.
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
Thanks for the info Sprdtyf350

And I gotta admit that I laughed myself as I typed it. I just couldn't think of another way to put it seeing that I am far from well-versed in the ways and terms of all of this technical stuff
