That's correct. The whole point of having a supplement is to patch the system as easily as possible, since they are fairly frequent. So you can upgrade to 3.1.4 from 3.1.3, 3.1.2 or even straight from 3.1.0.

The base images are only updated when TnT Inc. gives us a new ROM to play with.

The new ROM has the newer market - it "mostly" works except that the stars are cut off in reviews.
[G Tablet General] jturner49:
Excellent post. I did apply z4root. But nothing else! Then I finally bit the bullet and reflashed ROM to 3.10 then applied the 3.13/3.14 update patches. One does need to know how to mount the sdcard so Win7 can find it.....

What a difference! If only VS has shiped with these ROMs the gTab would still be sold by Staples and Sears stores.

However a caveat! I was at first dissapointed by the linited APPS in gMarket. Then I read rothnec (sorry if I mis-spelled) gMarket FIX.

"Quick Market Fix (Follow Exactly):

1) Run market

2) Open settings->applications->system applications

3) Force close Google Services Framework, then Force Close Market

4) Go back to Google Services Framework, then clear data

5) Run market and confirm you get an error

6) Reboot

7) Wait 2 minutes and try Market to get all applications"

Lookin good to me now!

Thanks to all!!!

Im attempting the upgrade from 2.2 to 3.1.4 but after upgrade my screen is just staying on the "X" loading screen. Been there for almost 5 minutes so far? What now?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
You have the good old boot loop. To fix it you need to partition your sdcard with clockwork. 2048, and 0 swap. It will erase whatever you have on your internal sdcard so if you want to keep any of it mount usb storage in clockwork and copy them to your pc. If you don't have clockwork, you need it. Use version .8
[G Tablet General] Sportsfanatix23:
I do have clockwork. Can you send me instructions how to do so? I appreciate your help!!
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Ok, then boot into clockwork. Go to the advanced tab at the bottom. Pick Partition SD Card. Pick 2048, and then 0 for swap. Back out to the main menu and reboot...

Should work after that....

I did that and now its still on the "X" loading screen and it was blinking off and on going back to the X load each time? Now its staying on the load screen again.

How to update to latest one

I want to upgrade to latest TnT. I have 2.2. So to update I flash 3.1.0 first. Then flash 3.1.4. Just want to make sure that is right.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Well that blows. Normally that fixes it. If it were me, my next step would be to go here and read about doing an Nvflash restore.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950&highlight=nvflash

It is not hard, just don't run things in the Nvflash folder just because they look fun. Do it as it is described and in a few minutes your tablet will be back to completely stock..
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yes, 3.1 is the base system. The others are supplements that add fixes, or features.

I am having a new years brain fart, I have Tnt 3.0 installed and I am having trouble flashing to 3.10, I have the new rom extracted to my desktop and copied over to the Gtab yet when I flash into clockwork recovery it begins installing tnt 2.40.. what am I doing wrong?
[G Tablet General] Sportsfanatix23:
Ok im confused... Is there a way to flash while in Clockwork mode with a different ROM that you have on the tablet? Like I have 3.1.4 thats not installing correctly (staying on the boot load screen) so I want to switch to a different TNT lite. is there a way that I can hook the Gtab up to my computer and have my computer be able to access the files since you cant turn on the usb file sharing? That way I can just drag the new ROM to the G tab?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Yes you can.

From the main clockwork menu go to the mounts and storage selection. Then pick mount usb storage. Hook up your usb cable and your pc will let you play with the internal sdcard.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
- Unzip TnT-V31.0 and rename update.zip to TnT310.zip and copy file to internal sdcard.

- Boot up to CW recovery (+ volume key & power button).

- Choose Install zip from sdcard (item #5 from CW). press Home to go to next menu.

- Choose zip from sdcard (item #2 from CW).press Home to go to next menu.

- Choose TnT310.zip.

This should work.
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
I'm completely new to this and I apologize in advance if this is not the place to ask this question but..

I am trying to update from 2.2 to 3.1. I have clockwork installed and I am running down the list of instructions to install 3.1 (from the 2.2 thread). When I get to the part where I need to select the zip from my ROM folder, the 3.1 file is not showing up even though I can see it when i look on my computer when the unit is mounted to the computer and I look in the rom folder. I can only see the 2.2 file when I'm on the gtablet in clockwork. Am I making sense? I'm certain the file is there, but it isn't showing up when i'm in CW. Any ideas? Thanks in advance and also thanks for all of the work and sharing that you all do.
[G Tablet General] Lord Norin:
Thanks for the help! I swear I have not even started drinking yet!
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
Not sure you need to resort to NVFlash just yet.... If you partitioned your internal memory correctly, you would end up with an empty drive that would not boot. After you partition correctly (confirm the drive is now blank), connect to your PC, start G-Tab with CWM, mount USB (under mounts) and when you can see the drive on your PC, copy over the desired ROM you wish to install. Make sure you have the update.zip file and a recovery folder on the drive. Reboot and use CWM to install update.zip.
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Did you unzip (unrar) V3.10? this should show update.zip + command folder.

I always unrar then rename update.zip to Tnt-Vxxx.zip to reflect different version#. The copy it to internal sdcard.

When in CW recovery, I will see TnT-V2.4, TnT-V3.10, etc, zip files to choose.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Good point! I kind of forgot that part. Too many times answering the same question is making me crazy I guess.

BTW, you do not need the recovery folder if you use clockwork. Just the update.zip, or whatever .zip your file is named.
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
I just extract the contents of the .RAR file into the root of my internal drive. Make sure you get an update.zip and the recovery folder in place. Reboot, and when you start CWM, just select the update.zip option rather than browsing around to a ROM folder, which is really not needed.
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
Thanks.The extracting worked.

just flashed 3.14 and I am getting Quadrant scores of 2400 + after a few short sleeps of 5 to 10 min. Will run it again in the morn to see if the lag fix is officially working with 3.14 and the new kernel

**UPDATE**

After a long sleep of about 9 + hours I got Quadrant scores of 2300 - 2400. Looks like we have a winner with 3.14 and the updated VSC kernel. Nice work guys.

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Yep, saved my bacon yesterday as I booted mine up to acore FCs and clearing contacts, cache partition, dalvik cache, fix perms, etc. didn't help, so I had to revert to an older image. (Need to go read that acore thread now, as I thought that this was gone... and figure out exactly version of TnTL that was that I flashed back to... :D )

Clockwork is just indispensable, because it allows alot of possible fixes and revert potential on device as long as recovery partition isn't borked...

I think that I'm just going to give up and do a 3.1.0 flash and then the supplement with a data wipe, although I was doing so well with just clearing caches for the last several versions...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Correct.

I usually rename my update.zip files so I know which is which, and drop them into a subfolder. Easy way to ensure you're not installing the wrong zip file.

TNT Lite 3.1.4 and how to get 2400 Quadrant Score

Newb making first post here so first off I want to say much thanks to roebeet and all of the other talented experts that have made my G tab into such a useful device!

I've been running TNT Lite since 2.2. When 3.1.x and the "lag on wake" issue hit me I ended up applying vsc's kernal patches which seem to have fixed that problem entirely. During the course of reading through all the posts about cpu lags I kept coming across people mentioning they were getting Quadrant scores in the 2400 range with TNT Lite but my G Tab was always scoring in the 1800 range. I finally applied the "TnT_Enhancement_3389_v2" patch and know I too am getting 2400 Quadrant scores. I was very hesitant to use the Enhancement patch because all indications seemed to be it was meant for stock VS TnT and I was concerned that it would mess up TnT Lite. It did break the Market (actually the Google Services Framework) but re-installing and re-applying the Market fix got Market working again. 1800 - 2400 is a 33% percent increase and the tab does seem snappier so it seems like a very important patch yet it seemed very difficult trail before I convinced myself to try it.

From this experience I would guess that the performance enhancements which are in the "TnT_Enhancement" pack are not in TnT Lite. Is this true and if so is there a reason (such as they may create instabilities,etc)?

Second question is under what circumstances will I need to re-assert the TnT_Ehancements pack? Will updating to TnT Lite 3.1.5 make it necessary?

Thanks again (again happy New Year everybody!):D
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Still get the lag issues with 3.14. One thing I notice (oddly) is that "570" appears to be the value (or near to it) every time it happens (I would expect a wider score variation). I suggest the kernel sucks big fat Oprah butt.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
The current TnTlite 3.x.x has the enhancement built in already from what I understand. The enhancement pack was built for people running the current official firmware and just wanted the updated Nvidia, Market, and root

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks for the heads up.

Going forward, if anyone does have any weird issues with TnT Lite, you should mention a custom kernel if you've applied one. It's an important metric as far as troubleshooting issues.

TnT Lite has the enhancement pack, as mentioned.
[G Tablet General] proneck321:
Thanks Sprdtyf350

Thanks, i originally read right past that. If I understood that post correctly, does this kernel patch also allow for external NTFS hard drive connection? Any other benefits of this patch over the VS kernel? To revert back to the VS kernel would I just flash 3.0 again?

sorry in advance for my newbness!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You'd flash back to 3.1.0 (or any of the other "base" images) to undo the custom kernel.

Besides the CIFS support, the customized kernels should also support NTFS (with a manual mount, VOLD plug-and-play doesn't work) and should also fix the wake-on-lag issues.

Thank you for devoting your time for this project! I'm really excited about this and am already loving my GTab :)

I started modding with XDA since my TMobile MDA (HTC) and have found myself back here for my GTab.

The Problem

When Trying to install any application from the Marketplace I get the error "Sorry, there's not enough space to install this item."

Is anyone else having this problem? I can install an APK downloaded off of the web and transferred from my pc to the unit just not with marketplace.

I am running TNT 3.1.4 on Stock GTab right out of box (I had this error with 3.0)

I even ran the alternate fix for Marketplace (which worked great to gain access for all of marketplace) but I still can't install anything.

I have a 16gb SD Card also...

Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!

P.S. Sorry if this was posted somewhere on the forums but I just couldn't find it.

The browser crashing was partly my fault (and partly Viewsonic's). It turns out the browser does not behave well with flash, so I got Dolphin HD. The 2.02 update fixes my other issue (removing Tnt logo and turning it into a useful Home button was nice too). My contacts and calendar synced (took a few tries) and I have to say that now I feel like this is a complete firmware.

After trying the Zpad again and finding it to be sorely lacking I am happy to return to TnT Lite and I bow before Roebeet and offer my most genuine praise for the work done to improve Viewsonic's dismal software package.

Also, you should send a resume to Viewsonic so you can get a job with them so we can get awesome "official" updates. :)

Up and Working

Well, I upgraded to the 2.0 version yesterday afternoon no problem, messed with it a bit installed some apps from the market and just messed around in general. I then installed the new apk to get flash to work (listed at the beginning of the thread) and that worked as well, no problem. Put the tablet down and went to dinner.

When I got home, I woke it up from sleeping, and started getting force closes when trying to download from the market. I then started getting forge closes on the browser. I tried shutting it down, and when I restarted, it started boot looping. I tried re-installing the 2.0 version but it kept looping.

This morning I reinstalled the 1.0.1 version from viewsonic from the second SD card and got it back to factory settings. Then reinstalled 2.0 lite. I think I'm back to where I was last night (prior to the boot looping) so we'll see where it goes from here.

I've not moved to the 2.0.1 version just yet, I'm not sure if I really need it. Advice on this would be appreciated.

A huge Thank You to Roebeet for all the effort on this, it's far more usable than what came with the device. I think it could be released with this software and perhaps have a chance. I'm concerned that the way it is (with the TNT software) it could give Android a bad name in the market place.

Roebeet, thanks a ton!

Turkey is almost ready, but I plan to extend the "caveats" section with more suggestions on the boot looping (seems to be a common issue with a lot of you). Going on what I've read, a data wipe might help, but also re-flashing to stock might - I want to document that for everyone and will probably suggest that anyone who tries this should have a microSD card ready to go, in case you use it.

I hope to do that late tonight or tomorrow - thanks to EVERYONE who have actually posted how you fixed your reboot loop as that helps us all.

that's a problem with stock (the sdcard issue) - some apps only read from /sdcard, not /sdcard2 which is the microsd card on TnT. The zPad firmware actually has a workaround for this.

Worked like a champ!!! Just follow the link (the file is in the first post, v0.5 is what I used) and copy the wpa_supplicant file to the /system/bin directory of your Gtagblet.
