Same happened to me. Very confusing. How the hell can that happen? That's why I was asking my previous question.
[G Tablet General] kevinbakon08:
Funny, that was my initial thought . . . "did Viewsonic auto update on me (or try) last night?" . . . but that app was supposedly removed from this ROM.

I did a factory reset, re-signed into google market, downloaded titanium and am restoring "missing apps and data" (not system data) . . . . holding my breath . . . . .

Update:

Everything reset and restored perfectly using the built in Factory Reset, then Titanium Backup . . . . good thing I did a backup before I went to bed!

Last OT for a while, but:

Yeah the Kobo WiFi is pretty light. We've only got one store closing nearby and they didn't have much of anything in electronics, no Kobos and no Sonys which was about what I suspected would be the case so I just jumped on the $99 regular price.

What I REALLY would've liked to've gotten would've been a new Sony reader as they also have the newer pearl eInk that's used in the Kindle 3, but no way was I going to pay $180 or more for the PRS-305(or was it the 605?) when I could get something useable like the Kobo for c. $100...

Color display on Nook: yeah, it's a gimmick and I can't really see it being useful for much, but for me I was thinking of wifi use in a pinch but now that I've sprung for a smartphone again it just seems to be pointless as the phone would just do a better job even if it has a tiny display, think A32IT... (Now back to setting up VOIP for the phone... and TnTl for everyone else...)

[EDIT]

Forgot to mention if you dig in the mobileread forums(probably Jan/Feb posting) someone documented a way to use their stock update system & scripting to modify the init scripts on the Kobo to enable ftp & telnet IIRC. I'm waiting for the 1.9 update before I do this, as I want to see if they fixed the USB connectivity since I've had problems with writing to the device or SD card via USB under Ubuntu 10.04 x86-64.

[G Tablet General] jrronimo:
Did a clean install last night via CW (since I already had it installed) and have been running into intermittent Force Closings, too. Is there any real reason for these? I did a clean 2048/0 partitioning as well.
[G Tablet General] smapdi:
I haven't experienced the FC like your did but I think ADW is acting a bit flaky on TnT. I installed the latest ADW EX from the market (1.2.2 I think) and while it does work right for the most part, every once in a while it freezes the main interface. You can still open the app drawer and launch apps but if you had a notification bubble on the screen, it will stay there. I've had luck "waking up" ADW by rotating the tablet which I think causes everything to refresh but sometimes a reboot is the only solution.

I'm just mentioning this because you say you use ADW and that may be the cause of some of the issues people here have with random shut downs when going to sleep, etc.
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
I had just ran into the same issue just 10min ago restored to a backup I did 3days ago seems to be fine now but I still am getting a fc on android.process.media has anyone ran into this problem? If so how did you go about fixing it?
[G Tablet General] itoig:
for the life of me can't get my gtab to see any usb drives. i have a western digital mypassport 250gb formated to FAT32 neither of the file managers or the system sees them.

am i doing something wrong other then just plugging it in, rebooting, and checking a file manager?

now the drive is less then 3 years old the light on the drive comes up

is there a setting i need to enable on the device to allow it?

any suggestions on a usb protable drive that works without an external power source? trying to limit what i need to power for long car rides.

thanks
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
I had a similar issue with a passbook drive that wouldn't work properly

due to the usb port didn't have proper power. Also, I was using a longer

cable to connect to the drive too. I started using that 5" cable that came

with the drive. It works when I use the cable that came with it.
[G Tablet General] spike378:
Are you talking about like a massive force closes on boot up?
[G Tablet General] itoig:
good to know, thanks.... too bad i have no clue where that cable is. good to hear someone else is able to use a portable usb drive without power.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I think it's very hit and miss with HDD external drives, from my own experience. Possibly a 1.8 inch drive might work without external power, but not sure about a 2.5 inch drive.

I've seen this FC - it usually happens once on bootup. Might be related to media scannning (granted, I still have ".nomedia" setup on mine).
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
Yeah I am talking about the massive Fc issue. I reboot and it was still there. Still got the android.process.media issue.
[G Tablet General] sriram_s:
Bluetooth and Wifi seem to be running even when on sleep and taking up a lot of battery power.

I'm not 100% positive but I think bluetooth / wifi shutdown on sleep and when not needed with VEGAn 5.1.1 and consumed much less battery. Anyone else with the same issues?
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
massive force closes

woke up this morning to FC on everything. NV flashed it, (still got FC's) loaded the recovery pack (Still got FC's). Loaded 4.4 again. Still same problem. And my personal data was not wiped out with NV Flash. Can't do a factory reset cause I can't get into settings.

Any thoughts?

Using TB to restore all files on Gtab. FC's went away 3/4 of the way through. Hopefully they won't come back
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Clockworkmod - this is where it comes in handy. You have the Recovery Pack so it's easy to install ("cwmrecovery.sh" and reboot into recovery). Data wipe first, then try an SD repartition if it STILL happens again (clockworkmod) - that one will wipe out everything in /data and /sdcard (including yout TB file) so back them up first.

Check your Wifi Advanced Settings - it might be set to never shutdown, even while in sleep mode.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
Thanks Roebeet. I was not having luck with the emulator then realized I did not put it in super user mode first. Reading too fast. I'm working on it as I type. So far so good.

I have a question. The tablet is running android 2.2 with tnt lite 4.4. When I update the ROM is that also reloading the 2.2 software as well. What happens if Android has corrupted files? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I got to thinking about this due to these errors I was having.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
... and IF it's just a com.google.services.framework FCing which I saw with TTx 0.9.2 I suspect that it's data store is getting corrupted as I ended up wiping martket cache AND google services DATA, after which it has been completely fine w/no FCing for days now.

i.e. I suspect that just clearing google services framework data would've fixed it alone.

o.w. doing a repart 2048/0 fixed MASSIVE FCing that I was getting with bekit's stock(almost) Nov image when nvflashed back down to that in prep for TnTl 5.0/TTx 0.9... I went that route in anticipation of having to get used to nvflashing again IF I wanted to seesaw between TnTl5/TTx and other mods...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Good question and it's certainly a possibility - maybe add a re-flash inbetween a user data wipe and an SD repartition. I suppose it's possible that a firmware flash can have problems.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
Got everything working again. Thanks. Don't know what caused it to all of a sudden start FCing though.

I loaded the cwm and repartitioned as well.

I had so many extra folders on the sd card folder because of apps I tried then deleted. I guess it doesn't delete everthing when you delete an app. Good to know.

Anyway thanks Roe.
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
dog2490,

IMHO, forget everything you know about formatting, delete, erase, etc. with Android.

Things do and don't with each of those processes and I haven't figured out how you

know when does what!!!!! :) You've already seen the symptoms.

And the, Android is so lacking in documentation.

It does make for difficult moments.....

Rev
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
Rev,

In my former line of work (Network systems integration) the "expert" was the one that broke the most equipment and learned how to fix it. I guess I am becoming an "expert" with android and the gtablet.

Lookout Roebeet!

:)

Although I have to say that wiping the data and repartitioning cleared out a lot of junk in the system.

Everything working great!
[G Tablet General] Vlad_z:
My gTab's battery got 1.4% discharge rate when tablet is in sleep mode.

So far I've tried : killing apps before sleep, leaving apps as is, uninstalled some services, turning WiFi/BT off, setting CPU speed to min when screen off (SetCPU app).

Results are about the same - 1.4%.

I've searched web, but as for now I'm out of ideas. Are there anything we can do about it?

Btw, Xoom users, seems did not have that problem (same chipset).
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
odd. if the xoom doesn't discharge then users that have a xoom must be turning them off or it is happening w/o notice. i bet it's both.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I will gladly pass the torch to you! :)

I have a Xoom - it really does have excellent sleep (to the point where I can leave it sleeping for days at a time and it will still have plenty of juice left). I could actually be Homeycomb and perhaps its sleep functioning is improved? Not certain.
[G Tablet General] vincentfkc:
always give me error when i try to install app from market, and click retry, worked～～
[G Tablet General] TheJesus:
Anyone look at the view count on this thread recently?

600,000+!!!!

Wow, congrats Roebeet.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
That's it?? :)
[G Tablet General] orangezero:
I finally got 4.40 working and haven't used it long enough to know if it makes a difference. I'd like to not use it for two or three days and come back and have the battery almost unaffected, but it seems it always is almost dead at that point. Does setCPU seem to make a difference?

thanks for all the work, everyone working on it.
[G Tablet General] Vlad_z:
I don't think that high discharge problem when in sleep mode can be solved by killing apps or by SetCPU - the problem is somewhere in adaptation of Linux kernel or in Android OS architecture.

Basically, in sleep mode gTab consumes 50mA!!! This is way too much.

Delete Bluetooth Headset Problem

I have a Jawbone ICON and I am getting the message: "Paired but not connected" in the Bluetooth Settings.

Is anyone else getting this message? I have reset the tablet and still getting this message.

So frustrated ...
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
I have the same issue with vegan. With TnTlite I got mine to connect but no sound from the headset.
[G Tablet General] tariq_niazi:
What is bothering me is that with any other bluetooth device, I am able to get the "disconnect, disconnect and unpair, and option" but with Jawbone ICON, I get NOTHING!

Is there a solution to this problem???
[G Tablet General] skydve1:
I'm using this one on TNT 4.4.0, and it's working fine.

Enjoy!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
TNT Lite 4.4.0 is using Clem's kernel - the CIFS module is built-in. This is only temporary though, keep in mind -- I plan to go back to stock when the vendor releases their next firmware (IF? they ever release it - I'm beginning to wonder, at this point).
[G Tablet General] justauser:
stock kernel?

You mention going back to stock, but that means giving up CIFS, PPTP and lots of great stuff in the Clemsyn kernel you've got now. Understand trying to stay with stock, but that kernel really improves things.
[G Tablet General] Vlad_z:
Update on sleep discharge rate.

Last night I turned Off WiFi manually... Well, after 9 hours battery charge was down 8% which gives 0.9% per hour (from 1.4%)

Previously, with WiFi policy - "Off when screen off", I can confirm that tablet did not connect to my router on it's own overnight. But current test results show clearly, that WiFi adapter is not in sleep mode, so adapter consumes juice even without connection.

So, by tunning it off explicitly, we can save some juice when tablet in "sleep" mode.
[G Tablet General] thongtap:
Random Force Closure

I'm tired of this random FC!!! This happened twice, one with TnT 5.0 and then TnT 4.4.0. So, I'm going to live with Adam 1.4 until I get random FC again then I'll move on to CM7 :) My theory on the random FC is because I used up the battery power that it has to shut down. Somehow, that corrupted some OS files and caused the FC. With TnT 4.4 I didn't even use any other launchers. Sorry for the rant. On the plus side, I learned to nvflash and get to install CWM .08 again! :)
[G Tablet General] dog2490:
I had FC's with my tab. I followed Roebeet's advice. I loaded cwm and did a data wipe and repartition of the sd card. After that the FC's went away. If you haven't tried it you should.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Agreed and, if it were me running TNT Lite (stock kernel version) on my own device, I'd put a custom kernel on it.

The only reason why I prefer not to is because some people might prefer a stock kernel (believe it or not). You can always upgrade to a custom kernel on your own, so that's why I leave it as optional. I like to consider TNT Lite as more of a "gateway" ROM - mostly stock with some changes / enhancements, but nothing that too far off the beaten track. We have a lot of other ROMs here that offer extras like that.

My other reason is that, if our friends at VS actually get their act together, their new stock kernel might actually be pretty darn good, at least speed wise. So they might even surprise us with their next update (I hope).
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
I'm hoping that's why they have been taking so long. Something to really knock our socks off.

I went to Best Buy and compared the Xoom to my Gtab. I was surprised how much smaller it was. I think mostly because of the bezel. But seriously, why buy anything with Honeycomb right now since there are only 72 apps for tabs on the market. They REALLY should have held off on Honeycomb until they had more apps lined up, like Google Body.IMHO
[G Tablet General] jakehale:
did i miss a post someplace that said this is a dead thread or is it just that 4.4 is rock solid (like mine) for everyone..... :)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not a dead thread yet

The mods unstickied all the ROMs, that's all. There won't be a new GTablet stock firmware until allegedly May, so updates are still up in the air for now.
[G Tablet General] triggerftu:
VS keeps tweeting " ota servers are still down we will have them back up for the gtablet here soon you all are not for gotten even if we are selling newer tablets that are not as buggy as the gtablets stock rom was" all I can say is it better be something useful if not I am stickin to tntlite 4.4

android market(web) won't recognize my device on current tnt lite. Is this correctable? On vegan it recognized the tab and installed to it without issue.

Oops, just re-read that, you're going via web. Yeah, I haven't seen this addressed in this thread yet. Although it has been 455 pages of stuff.

--------------

I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-938984.html via google and did what one of the posters said. I went to My Market Account -> Settings and gave a name to my G2 and the GTablet and somehow now both show up as available devices to install apps to. I installed the Kindle app to the Gtablet via the web based market and it worked like a charm.
[G Tablet General] Dawg Fan:
There have been others who have experienced this problem. Some have said that after numerous tries that it just started working. On my account, it doesn't show the Viewsonic G Tab, rather it shows the Malata Z Pad, which is supposedly an equivalent. In any case, why do you need to use the web Android Market? Why not just use the Android Market app? I don't know about everyone else, but when I went to the web Android Market and selected an app to install, it automatically opened the Android Market app and found the selected app there.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
You can flip it in the /system/etc/vold.fstab. I believe a few people have done this successfully. Just make mmc2 to mmc1 and vice versa.
[G Tablet General] CodeNinja:
Hey Roebeet,

TnT Lite was the first ROM I tried on my GTablet, and it ran great. The only reason I stopped using it was due to the fact that it wouldn't see the PEAP wireless at work.

Have you any thoughts on how to get around that? I'd love to come back to TnT Lite. I had the least troubles running it than I've had with other ROMs so far. VEGAn is good too, but I'd like to start a bit more 'vanilla' than that so I can modify it the way I want it.

Currently I'm running Vanilla 2.3.3 AOSP, which sees the PEAP but doesn't work with the intranet (I can access the internet through it, though. Weird). It also doesn't have hardware acceleration of the video decoder, thanks to nVidia. :(
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Unfortunately no - it doesn't seem to be in the framework yet, and I'm assuming that Viewsonic has no plans to change that anytime soon.
[G Tablet General] CodeNinja:
Kind of figured that to be the case.

Crud. That means the main reason I bought this thing, so I could access intranet sites during the (many) meetings they make me go too, is a no go. :(

At least for now.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
G-Tablet and Malata Z Pad ARE the same. Just rebranded. As for it showing up on the website market...It usually takes 48 hrs after doing a market fix for mine to show up. That was an ongoing issue for my tab, with every update that google made to the marketplace app, it disapeared from the website under settings. Had this issue running previous versions of TnTlite, but after doing the upgrade to 4.4.0 I have not had an issue with it showing up on the website. It does show up as Malata Z-Pad but you can rename it to G-Tablet as I did.

I have done 3 marketplace updates since installing 4.4.0 and My Tab still shows up under settings and devices. Hope it holds out.
[G Tablet General] blasturd:
What's not working with the intranet site? DNS can't find it? Browser? If the stock browser doesn't support something on your intranet, you could try a different browser.

I'm using Dolphin to access my ssl intranet with no problems.

If it's a VPN issue, then nevermind. :(
[G Tablet General] CodeNinja:
To be honest, not sure -what- is going on.

TnT Lite doesn't even see the wireless router, since it's based on the Viewsonic stock ROM which doesn't support the PEAP protocol that our router uses.

Right now I'm in process of switching to VEGAn 5.11, but when I was running Vanilla AOSP I could see and connect to the network but not access the intranet. The internet worked fine through it, though, which really boggled my mind. It was also using the correct DNS settings. There is no VPN, since my phone and other phones/iPads work fine on the network.

Wah!!! Retireing. Bummer. This is like the best custom rom built for the gtab so far. This is kinda sad to hear about.
[G Tablet General] spw:
What do you mean retiring? I have been going back and forth between your gAdam and TNT Lite ROMS, and still can't decide which one I prefer yet! Where am I going to get my fix now?

I know you indicated that you can't link to another site, but can you tell us where these 2 roms will be "living"?

Surely, your expertise and your willing to help inexperienced users will be missed.

TNT Lite and my other mods are being moved, next week

They will still exist, but I'm not permitted to say where they are going, as per the moderators here. I could risk getting sanctioned or banned, if I do.

I have a thread here explaining what happened: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1034064. That thread is now closed, so it will be buried very quickly.

I wasn't 100% sure it would work, sorry. I actually heard that Adam users have been able to do this, so I figured there was a chance it would work here, as well.
[G Tablet General] spw:
Cool. Thanks. I will surely be checking that out. I was flipping out for a minute. I am kind of addicted to flashing since the Dell Axim days. I need a continuous supply of ROMS, otherwise I may suffer withdraw symptoms.

I can't believe Roebeet is retiring from XDA though, but I guess he has had enough. All these years with XDA, I don't really recall anyone got ripped like the 2tapsx. And the worst part is, from what I have read, it is a pretty good rom.
[G Tablet General] Sm0k3d 0uT:
that's always a possibility
[G Tablet General] rsfaze:
I find it amazing there are links all over XDA directing people to other sites but the mods pick and choose which ones they are going to enforce. XDA is really going down the drain quickly
[G Tablet General] skozsert:
The Cyanogenmod threads point to his site. How is this any different? XDA wouldn't have a problem with the links to other sites if they would stop driving away the productive devs.
[G Tablet General] kekinash:
Even with the risk of being banned from here, I must say that lately the policy towards Roebeet roms has be completally unfair. There are here at xda roms for other devices that really can brick a phone without any possibility of recovery, but they still are here. Lately the mods here are doing a really bad work, instead of trying to cool things the like to make things worst.

Roebeet has been attacked by some narrow minds without a reason.

And ban me if you want, but the truth can't be silence.
[G Tablet General] kekspernikai:
That's what I logged in to say. With Roebeet gone, I may not come to XDA anymore for G Tablet mods. His ROMs were the best for my purposes, and I will follow them.
[G Tablet General] notwen:
Nailed my thoughts exactly. Regardless I'll be quick to follow TNTL where ever it goes, as it has been and will always be my preferred ROM for the G-Tab.
[G Tablet General] muerteman:
Roebeet,

I was going to write a long post in the thread you link too about how wonderful you have been, and how you are perhaps the sole reason I got my G-Tablet in the first place, why I loved it then, and why I loved it now. Instead though, I found that thread closed and locked so I decided to post here. I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful work you have done on all of your mods. The G-Tablet would never be the same without your awesome work.

Thank you so much!

P.S. If all other options fail can you PM me where your mods will now be living?

Thanks again.
