For some reason I can't get ADW to show up in the Market on my G-Tab. I first installed ClockwordMod and did a back up of the original rom. Then I installed TNT-Lite 2.0.0 then 2.0.4 and did the Market fix. Market shows most things I think but not ADW.

Am I missing something?
[G Tablet General] boostenmkiv:
ADW is actually quite hard to find on the market with all those themes etc. that are up there as well. I usually do a search for ADW.launcher or the developers name (which escapes me at the moment) to find it...hope its there for ya and just buried a bit.

tether

my gtab sees the wifi (*)android tether but when it connects it wont obtain an ip address.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
I've been running -- very happily -- roebeet's TnT 2.0.2 until yesterday. I then applied jacindc's calendar fix (thanks!) and TnT 2.0.4 supplement, and now I'm getting a lot of FC -- mostly FC messages when I exit from apps, but also a few crashes too. I wonder if others have also experience this, and if so, would that be related to the calendar fix or (more likely) the performance pack?

Thanks!
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
:-) well it is a great rom from what I can see.

I have been a 0-day Droid 1 owner and now incredible owner and have been through so many different roms on both phones it is crazy.

I cant wait to get a tablet to compliment my incredible. It will be nice not to have to pull out the laptop every time I want to show someone a youtube video.

If it works it will be awesome to use slingbox or dishnetwork remote play on the tablet...cause over wifi I am sure it will be great... especially when I want to watch Top Gear and my fiancée wants to watch housewives of atlanta... we can still sit together :-D

2.02 to 2.04?

Hi roebeet, can I jump from 2.02 to 2.04, bypassing 2.03? Are you releasing 2.05 tonight? If you are I can wait a few hours... :-) And would I be able to jump from 2.02 to 2.05?

Thanks!!!
[G Tablet General] scmobileman:
Did you try other versions of Wireless Tether as I suggested?
[G Tablet General] mrackley:
Random question... anyone know why i can't watch shows on cbs.com or abc.com? they both seem to try to load... but neither works.
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
I downloaded the lates will it allow me to go back.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
Boost Thank you man!!!
[G Tablet General] cjbailey75:
ok Iam zipping thru sites now via my evo. Thanks for all the help. I used an olderversion of wireless tether
[G Tablet General] NiN39Z:
cjbailey which wireless tether version worked for u?
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I started getting a lot of the same crashes and FCs as you when, after installing 2.0.4, I tried to install the Google calendar.apk. Then all heck broke loose. I ended up going back to a cwm backup from yesterday, pre-2.0.4. Installed that, installed 2.0.4, and installed Touch Calendar from the Market so to not have to use the TNT Calendar that's in 2.0.4. You might have to start over--you could get yourself to 2.0.4, then wipe user data and do the Contacts/Calendar fix. I'm now on 2.0.4 with syncing working, and all is fine.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
When you get your G and have it ready, please make sure to download the Wifi Tether app version designed for the Incredible (2.1 Elcair r14). It works great :) That version also has a lock button to help avoid signal dropping :) Been using it all day and no signal drop and when away from the G with my Inc, the G connects back automatically when back in range :)
[G Tablet General] foreverknight:
Do I need to tweek the hardware to get this to work?
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
You will probably need to download a different browser like Dolphin HD and set it to act as a regular desktop.

I dont have a g-tablet yet so i cant speak for the stock browser...but if there is an option to set it as desktop instead of mobile that might work too.
[G Tablet General] holloweddarkness:
I don't know if anyone else is having problems with this or not. But if I have pandora running in the background, after about three songs, the system will lock up and I have to hardboot it. I still have to try it without the widget on the launcher but I don't have non-vpn network access right now. Just wondering if anyone else is has come across this.

Alt Keyboard

Hey Roebee. Did you consider a replacement keyboard for one of your builds? Not sure what other people would like but it sure warms my heart to be away of ANY TnTCrap... lol

I just tried LRiley's method and worked great. Don't have enough(or different) keyboard apk's to install and try but the Smart Keyboard works great. Even with TB just freezing the TnTKeyboard.

cuzzinz - the hostfile installed by tntlite removes most ads, which is why the videos will not load. Install Adfree from marketplace. Launch -> click revert, and relaunch the browser.
[G Tablet General] mrackley:
Sweet.. that did it.. thanks!
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
Ah good to know... cause i use a program called audio galaxy that requires ads. (no biggy) It is a great app that points to a folder with MP3s and will stream your entire library to your phone or browser with an awesome interface. Pulls album art too.

if you use root explorer you can also just edit the hosts file at /etc/host Just hold down on it and it shuold allow you to edit as text and just clear it out.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Am I the only one who's lost root with the 2.0.4 install? Twice installed, twice de-rooted. I can get it back (SuperOneClick), but it's surprised me.
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
:-D there is only 1 video online reviewing the g-tablet with TnT 2.0.

One of ya all should do one :-)

I know I will when I get mine

[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
There are more than that; I think I've made (and have posted onto Youtube) around 7 videos of the G-Tab of which at least 5 deal with TnT Lite. I will be making more later today as well as an all-encompassing feature-by-feature video as well as videos on installing, etc.

Thanks for all the Fish!

Robeet and the other developers\contributors

I've been following this forum for a awhile and have made a few posts along the way. In a previous post I noted that we were testing this tablet and the Ipad for deployment to non-technical consumers of information in lieu of laptops. We purchase units several dozen at a time and the support function at our company runs lean and mean (you CS people can read between the lines :))

We've been impressed with the work that we've seen in this forum, you are a very talented group. I wouldn't be off base by saying we have been rooting for Android as the enviroment of choice. This is further aided by our transition from Blackberry to Droids. Keep up the good work.

An open letter to the Viewsonic management team. Apple has sold over 4M Ipads that equals a revenue stream of over $2B! Your unit has much better technical specs on the hardware side but your interface is kludged at best and and an outright impediment at worst.

Please have your software team pickup an Apple and sit down with the two units side by side, now try to think like a non-technical end user, which would you select for deployment??? Which do you think a IS support function would vote for?

Your recent patch was a step in the right direction but too little, too late. Give this tablet a fighting chance and deploy a plain vanilla Android OS with the appropriate drivers and a standard compliment of applications that synch with exchange for mail, calendar and contacts as easily as the Ipad. Give us PDF and office viewing capabilities out of the box. Give us true flash support and full market access.

Don't fear your end users they are using smartphone everyday, please take the handcuffs off of them.

While difficult we made our decision and have begun deploying Ipads. This is directly related to limitations of the Viewsonic Gtab UI and the uncertainty as to the direction Viewsonic is moving with this unit. We can't rely on a non-supported rom no matter how good when deploying a new technology into the field.

To XDA developers thanks for the unpaid and under recognized efforts you have put into this. As a side effect of our decision to deploy Ipads it freed up a couple of the Viewsonics. We've flashed them with Robeet's TnT lite 2.03, done the titanium trick and are now starting to tinker with modified units. First impressions are very positive.

I say this in all seriousness Viewsonic should make an effort to offically support your efforts. With offical support and input you guys could finish the last 20% of development which could make this unit a viable alternative to the Ipad.

I look forward to your next ROM's Thanks
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
Haha you dont count.. i have watched all your videos :-) I even messaged you on youtube lol... didnt notice your name on xda... haha.
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Well said, and I agree whole-heartedly. Whenever I show friends, co-workers, and strangers who walk up and ask me why my iPad looks different yet runs so well, fast, and smooth, I have to explain to them that my G-Tablet is different from what Viewsonic sells. I then have to try to make them understand that to get a G-Tablet like mine, they have to buy it with gimped software and then jump through hoops to make it awesome. Sure, the hoops are easy for techies, but for the average Joe, it's downright scary. They then smile and either say it's too bad that Viewsonic doesn't sell them with the software mine has or they'd buy more than one, or they ask me to do it for them once they get their hardware. I haven't turned anyone down yet.

Eagerly awaiting the 2.1 update! Great job everyone. this tab would be a POS without the great work here. Donate link please.
[G Tablet General] kirov70:
Quick question... when it states 'wipe user data' is this wiping the system in clockwork or just clear data in settings -> applications

Thanks!

Great work guys. Tnt lite is the only reason I decided to keep the tablet

v 2.1.0

hi Roebeet,

Do we need to still do the market hack for v2.1.0?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
2.1.1 coming - missed a file on 2.1.0 (my bad)

I missed the supplicant ad-hoc file (new performance pack overwrote it) - pulling 2.1.0 and repackaging, now.

If you don't need ad-hoc, you can stay at 2.1.0, else get 2.1.1.

Sorry about that!

Yep.
[G Tablet General] mcbooth:
May want to hold off on 2.1.1, did you see the other thread where TNT settings has been replaced by stock android settings app?
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
What is gapps and do I need it before I apply 2.1.1 over my 2.0.4?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Oh my sweet FSM, I can't keep up. :)

I actually have tried to do this a few times, but had issues with two things -- the brightness levels FC and you can't create new widgets / shortcuts on the homescreen. If there's a workaround for this, I'd love that!

Gapps are the Google apps - streamlined for 2.1.0+ as you can sync Contacts and the Calendar, now.
[G Tablet General] jfholijr:
Thank you Roebeet!
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
Fixed my issue... reflashed oem rom and started over.. working now.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Never had this issue, before (and I have tested this more times than I can count, today). Try the four point fix - tap the four corners of the screen, starting with the upper left corner. Should bypass the screen.

Never mind! :)
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
BTW... restoring my TI Backup apps and data fixed the market without doing the market fix again.

[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
I have tried Qik. It works but you need the galaxy tab version. Have not tried Yahoo and Fring definitely does not work, it has a sound bug.

I'm getting the FC on close of the settings now. was not getting it on 2.04
[G Tablet General] thx69:
Did full wipe and install 2.0 and then 2.1.1

Issue I had is that Keyboard FC whenever I ALT and try to use any numbers...

Strange...

Gonna be interesting trying to get to sign in google... lol
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Roebeet, you have done amazing things with all of this. Thank you so much.

I will be trying 2.1 momentarily! Glad that I was able to contribute. (you might want to change "his work" to "her work" in reference to me, though. ;) )

I wonder if you should start a new TNTLite thread, and rewrite the initial post (keep all this as an archive if people want to know how it all iterated). Lot of moving parts, now....

I can't get 2.1.1 to install. When I go into CW and choose to upgrade it says the file is bad. I've tried to download it a few times and put it on the card multiple times. No luck so far.
[G Tablet General] anlog:
Constant crashes...

I upgraded to 2.1.0 from 2.0.4, and most of my apps would crash on load (Titanium, Settings, etc). Then it got stuck in a reboot loop.

I had to repartition the SD card and blow everything away. Then I reloaded 2.0, wiped data from CW, loaded 2.1.0, wiped data again from both CW and Settings menu, but the Settings app constantly crashes, to the point that I can't even get my tab configured.

I think I'm going back to 2.0.4 with the manual Tegra fix. I don't need the crappy camera on this thing anyway...

****UPDATE*****

Things seem to be stabilizing a LITTLE BIT. Settings doesn't seem to be crashing anymore (or as much). Going to start reloading Market apps and will post an update if any more problems are encountered...

****UPDATE 2*****

Scratch that. The settings app crashes on exit every time...

***UPDATE 3***

Things have calmed down and appear to be working better. The Settings app still crashes about 75% of the time on exit, but I can deal with that. Everything else seems ok. Angry Birds and Flash actually work really well. It's kinda weird having Flash!!!

Looking forward to v2.2.0...
[G Tablet General] devilotx:
Is there a step by step on how to do this? I've unzipped the 2.0 tnt-lite onto an 8GB microSD card, booted off it and flashed the Gtab, but when it comes to the "supplemental" updates, I'm a little lost, I've formatted the SD card and put the supplemental files on it but it wont boot from it, any advice would be appreciated.

Right Side "Buttons"

Adding to the bugs...

My menu buttons from the hardware or from the Notification area also dont work.

Seems like all of them are Home set.
[G Tablet General] landykos:
Anybody?

I am able to install 2.0 just fine but when I got to flash 2.1.1 I get a boot loop of the white screen with the viewsonic logo and the gtablet logo.

2.0 was fine I got the correct boot animation was able to login to my google account and play around. Then went to flash 2.1.1 and I can not get that to work.

Thanks,

Same issue here with setting app FC several times ...

Update from 2.04 to 2.10 with data wiped.
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
mine is working great now except for the settings app crash on close bug.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Two .so files that the zPad devs fixed:

libnvmm.so and libnvodm_imager.so

I believe the other files were all from the Vega Performance Pack.

I'm getting the same, as well as some screen glitches with transitions (infrequent, but it happens). I can live with the FC on close, but it's something I hadn't seen before.

The settings button never worked, as it wants stock Settings (which we don't have).
[G Tablet General] prerunnerseth:
Yeah... not a big deal....
[G Tablet General] gabemeyers:
uhg... so ive tried clockwork to install zip from sd, advanced restore method, for both 1.03 zips, and as update.zip

ive tried zpad recovery, and using the recovery file and update.zip

ive tried the nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 10 boot.img --download 11 system.img

and still nothing... seems to fail out on the boot.img, and whatever the system 7 error is

if someone made a clockwm recovery of a stock 1.03 after boot and posted it could I load that into cwm and restore from it?

and if so would someone mind posting 1 up for me?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Works great updating from 1.02. Recovered my apps through Titanium and then reapplied the market hack through Titanium :)

Total start to finish time to back & running was one hour.

Still no wifi tether though :(.

Works on my laptop, so not an issue of my Incredible not being seen. Gtablet does not, none the less.
[G Tablet General] mikegscott:
Loaded 1.03a CWM version through clockwork recovery. works fine but I still can't get more the a minimal market.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Did you try the Titanium Backup trick?
[G Tablet General] mikegscott:
which trick is that and where do I get Titanium backup - the market that i can't get much from?
[G Tablet General] theimpaler747:
Yes, TB is found in the market
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You can sideload it -- http://matrixrewriter.com/android/

Does this V2.0 work with clockwork?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] bmangold:
V2.0 getting error

Getting an error message when I try to load it from clockwork. Just checked MD5 and it matched, going to re copy to my SD card and try again.

--

When I select the v2.0 zip to load from clockwork it starts to load then quickly goes back to the first menu screen in clockwork. I'll try extracting the update.zip and just running that.

--

Works when I ran the update.zip alone.

... and I fail at reading...

"Instructions for those with clockworkmod:

- Extract the ZIP and place the update.zip file anywhere in /sdcard. Then, while in cwm, run the update.zip udpate. I have heard reports that this might Status 7 and I have no fix for that, yet. It seems to be intermittent."
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Inconsistent UIDs

So, I installed 2.0, and it's beautiful. Only problem is that I'm getting the Android UIDs Inconsistent Error, telling me I need to wipe my data partition or my system will become unstable, with the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button. I'm sure this is totally my fault, from all manner of half-assed installations over the past few days (newbie! newbie!). Everything seems to work, but I get that Message of Doom on each boot.

I'm rooted, and have CWM.

What's my approach on this? The CWM wipe user data/factory reset option scares me--do I need something else, like the vanilla rom, ready to go in an update.zip file before doing this? Is there anything I can do from within the system, without having to do a data wipe?

Like I said, stuff is basically working it appears, but would love to get rid of the scary alert.

But 2.0 looks great, other than that! :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I tested this twice in cwm. To explain further on what I did, I extracted the ZIP and copied the update.zip inside to the root of my /sdcard. Then, I rebooted into cwm, chose the sdcard:update.zip option and let it run. I had no issues (cwm .8, btw).

There's some confusion because the update.zip is actually inside the ZIP. I have to do that to support the non-cwm users, as there's a recovery folder as well (which cwm users don't need).

That's why I made it a 2.0 release, it's a major update. I think wiping /data is really required and I'm surprised that the TnT devs didn't include it in their original update.zip (maybe its not possible to do?). I know it stinks, but it is what it is.

For cwm, you'd wipe data in cwm btw.

Since my updates are modular in format, I'm going to try very hard to only make supplements (minor updates that shouldnt give you the UID error) until there's a reason to move to a 3.0 release. I figured that initially we'd be wiping the devices a lot, but at some point we want that to slow down. Trust me, I would like to keep my user data for at least a week. :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It should - I tested it with .8 as well as vanilla recovery. Two groups of people to support, oh my.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Glad you're still awake! Thanks for the speedy reply. Have wiped user data in CWM, and am now back to entering my user data. AGAIN. :)
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
I installed using CWM: no issues.

Everything seems pretty darned smooth; very nice!

I did clear cache and data/factory reset using CWM after I installed 2.0.

Roebeet: VERY NICE WORK!!!
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Fantastic job!

Great work roebeet..!!! You made this gadget useful now. It is miles from the original version. Calendar syncs with Outlook but not the Contacts. Can we find a APK to replace it with? Not overly critical since we can't call but I keep all my contacts in Google and Exchange....

BTW Angry Birds makes this gadget amazing! Too bad regular non-rooting users will not see it immediately. I share the concern of others: too few users have the potential of making this product EOL in a flash.

The possibilities of this unit are endless. Looking forward to more....

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:

[G Tablet General] NiN39Z:
Roebeet i also noticed in this new update that there are no words shown on the popup dialogs such as when the power menu comes up it doesnt show sleep or power off or nothing. Is that the screen glitches u were talking about?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't have that. Power button is normal.

My two issues so far is the FC on Settings close (which is happening a few others, it seems) and glitches in screen refresh. For example, in the marketplace I'll see it when screens change. It's not bad, but noticeable.
[G Tablet General] NiN39Z:
Ok i restarted and the words are back on the power menu now. Disregard unless it comes back. The update so far is faster then 2.0.4! Thanks man!
