Roeby,

I am easily 100 points above my previous average, so that kind of suggests that maybe possibly an improvement with 2.4 :)

As far as people jumping from TnT to Vegan, or vice vera and seeing pib improvements, of course you will :) Just the cleaning of cashe and new data will boost performance, so it may not be the actual rom as much as the cleaning process installing the rom.

BTW, am I correct that Bluetooth and USB keyboards will NOT work with TnT 2.4, but DO work with Vegan Beta 3?

I am torn between the relative stableness' of TnT 2.4 and the ability to use bluetooth device on my G via Vegan.

cifs.ko

Any word on a cifs.ko? I'm looking for one and can't fine one, Hoping to stream media directly into rock player sooner or later.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I don't have a BT keyboard to test, so I honestly don't know. I guess it makes sense that they would work on VEGAn and not TnT Lite, for probably the same reason why other kb replacements don't work? TnT locks down what kb you can use.

We need the source code. That way, someone can compile a cifs.ko for our device. At least that's my understanding.

I'm getting by with upnplay, at least for now.
[G Tablet General] ewitte:
I tested a BT keyboard at a client site weeks ago. It worked (the mouse did not but probably just not connected). Not sure what ROM I had.
[G Tablet General] shanghei:
I flashed to TnT 2.4.0 and I installed a few keyboard and when I go to Settings -> Keyboard and checkmark the keyboards so they are enabled under Input Method, the checkmarks dont stay. What could be wrong?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a known issue with TnT stock, and TnT Lite. It's probably the biggest complaint with TnT, tmk.

I keep hoping that the TnT devs fix it, but nothing yet. I believe there's a way around this, but you need to add the keyboard file(s) into /system, which means adb or root explorer.
[G Tablet General] Mike Mortazavi:
I flashed to 2.4 few days ago and over all it seems like it is faster and the keyboard doesnot hangup as often.

But I have a big problem. I got a Upgrade notice for Google Maps and I attempted the update but it was not succesful. So I uninstalled the one I had and then attempted fresh install after clearing cahce and stopping service senario and rebooting. Im getting installation Error Unknown reason -8.

Any one seen this problem? How do you fix it?

Do I need to go back to 2.2?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Maps should be the latest version, on 2.4.0 (I just reflashed to it tonight and checked). 4.7 is the latest, correct?

See if you have a version in downloaded apps, and not system apps. Maybe that's causing problems.
[G Tablet General] Mike Mortazavi:
I have Mpas.apk in /system/app that has a timestamp:01 Aug 2008 08:00:00

I can't find "downloaded apps" folder.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've seen weird time stamps in Android, so I can't go by that unfortunately. But I know that the 4.7 Maps is in the 2.4.0 build. And that's in /system/app.
[G Tablet General] maneeacc:
googledocs

Hey there,

Anyone having problems with Google docs? I am running tnt 2.2. Google says I should be able to edit Google docs in the browser, but I can't seem to do it.

Thanks for any feedback you guys might have
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
Is the sound messed up for any one else in 2.4.0 TNT Lite

I am on the road so cant really test too much but a couple of the apps seem to have the lost the sound in the latest version. I have a free piano app and there is no more sound in it. Sound is working in flash (angry birds has sound ;))
[G Tablet General] usafle:
In reference to above post: I've noticed that when I am using my movie player app on the device or, poweramp to listen to music the volume is low. I try to turn the volume up on the players but it won't rise about the "halfway" point on the GUI.

There is no volume setting for "Multimedia" in the settings menu. There is only "Volume" which is the "master volume" of the device.

How does one go about raising/lowering the "Multimedia" Volume??
[G Tablet General] Mike Mortazavi:
I reflashed 2.4.0 (from a fresh download and extracting) and I tried installing it from /system/app folder and it failed as well.

I copied to SDCARD2 and tried install from there with same results

one thing to note is in Setting>Applications.System Applications and while the other apk's in /System/App are there Maps is missing.

Should I do a Factory data reset?
[G Tablet General] miker2431:
Not a complaint, but Slingplayer does not load up on 2.4. It does on 2.2, however, so I'm sticking with that for the time being.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Interesting, as they are very similar. Does it FC? Only the TnT Framework was touched (by the developers). You might want to complain to VS CS since it's very likely that this is broken on stock, as well.

Possibly - I just reverted to TnT Lite 2.4 from VEGAn and Maps is there for me. It's a system app for sure but, as I recall, updates go into the user space. Maybe something is stuck in the user data that's causing a problem.
[G Tablet General] miker2431:
It was my first day with this device yesterday, but I'm a very experienced Nexus One user... Anyways, I've never seen an app close out like this before on Android, because it didn't display any kind of error. It just opened, and then closed very quickly without giving me any type of "slingbox" splash screen or anything.

I tried wiping/re-flashing 2.4, and that didn't do the trick. Then I did a search and saw that someone else was using slingplayer with success on 2.2, and that worked great.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Maybe try 2.2.0 as a baseline, then at least you know it works.

The main difference between 2.2 and 2.4 is that the TnT framework was changed by the TnT devs. It's possible that they broke it with this newer framework but, unfortunately, I don't have a Slingbox to test it.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Not yet. Actually I reverted back from the VEGAn build because I think audio playback is causing me to freeze up. So far no issues on 2.4.0.
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
I had a lot of force closes in tnt 2.2 so I wiped my cache and then wiped my user data in clockworkmod. Do I need to do the Adobe Flash fix and the Market fix all over again?

Edit...Never mind. I just realized I have to reinstall Titanium Backup andeverything else. Basically starting all over from scratch.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yes, assuming you didn't use something like Titanium Backup. I've actually used that to backup google framework and it seems to work as a faster market fix, when wiping data. I would highly recommend that app.
[G Tablet General] flashlight1:
any chance of tnt supporting bluetooth mice/keyboards? i heard cyanogen mod has them. Though i plugged in a logitech usb mouse and that didnt work either in tht 2.4
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I just tried a USB mouse, man that sux. VEGAn build has support for this - it's got to be in their framework. And BT has been spotty for me as well (my BT mouse has never worked in any build).

Again, my rec is to call Viewsonic and ask for that. They've disabled it in TnT.
[G Tablet General] TimOster:
Roebeet...newbie here

XDA is no longer worth my time.
[G Tablet General] Linuxslate:
Update (in case anyone cares, or in case it helps others.)

Still have reboot loop.

Installed Cyanogen, and it reports:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2

(Invalid Argument)

Error mounting /data/!

Every time I try to wipe/install/format/etc.

So I guess my internal storage got trashed somehow.

EDIT: FIXED IT ! See the nvtegratab post referenced above. it explains how to fix the trashed /data/ partition.

It's a little confusing about SD Card meaning the internal SD Storage, just keep that in mind, and it's pretty easy to figure out what to do. I used the recommended partition values, and hopefully that will be OK.

Did that re-installed, and I'm up again. Grrrr....

I hope this does not happen every time an app Force Closes.

"Normal" people would have returned this thing 10x over by now.
[G Tablet General] jonspieker:
Okay, so if I do the clockworkmod recovery first, then I'd have root (which I'm not sure I know what to do with it). Then install the tnt Lite 2.0 (the one for clockworkmod I think (it's a different file I think)). Regardless, if I later want to go back to what I got with the unit, can you help me with the answer to the contents of the command file? Thanks.
[G Tablet General] GreenHornet:
I had the reboot loop going, but I just pressed the power and volume up button again, which caused another reflashing of the device, and then it worked. I got into the reboot loop when I tried to clear the user data. The first time I flashed tnt lite 2.0 it booted up, and then I cleared the user data using the settings tab. Then it shut down and started going into the loop. So I turned it off, and pressed power and volume up and now everything is all good.
[G Tablet General] jimi369:
GoJimi from the #TegraTab chat just posted an app he wrote that catches the click on the little TNT logo on the taskbar and routes it to your default launcher! Tested it and it works great! and it is only 8kb... :)

[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
fdsafasd

not sure if i'm missing something

when i power+volume^ to reboot with the recovery image it begins to reboot recovery image but then gives a big triangle with an exclamation!

i have the /sdcard/update.zip in place and the folder /sdcard/recovery in place with no files in it. thats how i understood the directions.

help ? :P
[G Tablet General] katmandu421:
you need the command file in your recovery folder. It got wiped somehow a few times for me so just make sure its there.

I just got this running and it's sweeeeet! Everythings there, Angry birds, flash in the native browser but all of a sudden I wasnt able to dl from the market. I tried the typicalSettings>Manage Apps>MArket>Force Stop and reboot but came back to the same dl hang. Any other suggestions?
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
what command file,

can i create one real quick or is there a url to download ?
[G Tablet General] jonspieker:
Whats in the command file, can you paste the contents please?
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
Ok....here is the verdict....I could not get contacts to sync either....it appears the email client is different....there is a picture icon for one of the settings and the refresh button in settings is blank where in 1.02 it was an orange teardrop. Not sure that makes a difference, but what I did was to go back to my 1.02 with my modded contact and calendar apps and did a titanium back up. I then reloaded 2.00 and restored mail, contacts and calendar and I once again have exchang sync with contacts and calendar. I tested it with a new contact on my work PC and it synced the new contact to the tablet to verify that titanium did not just restore memorized data. I have not tried Google sync yet. Sorry the new aps for our hero Roebeet did not work directly in 2.0
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
i did a factory reset via the software and it uses the recovery console and wipes everything.... lol... i must be missing something stupid obvious
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
AWESOME app! I will definitely be adding this to the next update - I really wanted to get that home button working and this did the trick!

EDIT: GoJimi even one-upped this with a framework change that removes the TnT home icon and replaces it with a stock Home icon. I haven't figured out how I'm going to package this yet, but it will be in the next update or supplement. Great job, GoJimi!!

It's in almost every ZIP file that I've created here. Look in the recovery folder in any of these ZIP files.

Recovery will erase the command file, after it completes. I assume its to avoid the user from accidentally re-flashing the device, in error.

I am not certain the the battery status is accurate - this firmware or the original one. I was playing that damn Angry Birds for two flippin hours tonight and by battery life was still 100% - that can't be right.

I'm not sure where we are with this, yet - should I keep the 2.00 apps or go back to the ones in 1.02? I'm fine either way because I really don't use them (yet) myself - I might need a vote on the floor on this one, for future updates.

Anyone who used TnT Lite 1.x got the zPad recovery. That wipes data every time you run recovery.

In 2.00, I pulled out recovery completely - I figured that, at this point, you should just keep whatever it is you have (ie. cwm).
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
much betttttterrrrrr
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
how come the market seems to be missing apps ?
[G Tablet General] ehunyadi:
Give it some time. Mine is now at 94% after working with it for a few hours. The battery on these things is amazing. I use mine for work, and I can easily go 8-10 hours of on-time with WiFi and battery still over 50%. I recently flew from Houston to Boise (and back) and watched 2 full movies and read using the Kindle app on each trip and each day, the battery was still at around 80%. I've not seen either of our G-Tablets run out of battery yet!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Did you run the market hack? It's mentioned in my original post. Without the hack, the market is crippled.
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
sorry, little sleepy. how do i make a signature? lol
[G Tablet General] Hannigan174:
I am sorry to report that I will have to try zpad again, or revert to a 1.x build. The browser crashes consistently in 2.0 and the lack of task switching is irritating. Hopefully these can be resolved in an upcoming build, but for now I think 1.x is more stable.
[G Tablet General] liquidcaffeine:
Love this apk. Where can on get the update with the icon changed?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I'm debating a supplement, right now. I have to test it because the framework might be the type of change that could require a new firmware, but I'm trying to avoid that.

I also want to know the opinion on the floor about the changed Contacts and Calendar apps - sound like there are mixed feeelings there.

Haven't had the first issue, but the second one I can understand. Not sure why the TnT devs pulled that out.

Sig? Here? It's in your User Profile.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
There are a lot of discussions in this mega-thread and even I haven't read them all (I do try to keep up daily but it's difficult, I'll admit).

But, anything of major importance usually gets added to the first post. I do that on purpose so that it's a summary of what you need to know to install the build. So you don't really need to scan more than the last few pages, since I might not have caught up with anything recent.

2.4.0 is fairly stable, but it has some issues that also affect stock. Alternate keyboards are not easy to install, USB mice don't work, and BT is spotty on some devices. These are things that were discussed in the last day or so.

For AB (the bane of my existence), I would recommend backing up the data frequently in Titanium Backup. As someone who wipes his data frequently, it's a critical tool to keep my AB progress.

Applications are not working getting errors

Hi All

First time posting something here. I started my tablet up this morning and all of a sudden I start to experiencing errors every time I tried to open up any app.

The error says the following

Sorry

The application x (process com has stoppled unexperctedly

Please try again

Force close

Can somebody help me with this.

Thanks
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I just did a data wipe, to be sure I wasnt missing anything - 2.4.0 definitely has 4707 in /system/app.

This might all be moot because I heard that 5.0 just came out?

Did you drain the battery dry the night before? If so, you might need to clear your cache. If that doesn't work, you might need to wipe the user data.
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
I have a question as I am still a noob here. I want to flash to 2.4 but don't want to redownload/search again for all my apps. How can I restore my apps, is there a way to back them up before I flash?
[G Tablet General] l33trican:
I've Been on TnT Lite 2.4 for a few days, everything has been going great. Until yesterday afternoon when the browser started to FC. The issue is due to zero free space left! I'm not sure if my partition sizes are correct...I only have the a few apps installed...

Adobe Reader and Flash, AB and AB xmas, RockPlayer, Titanium Bkup, and US News Reader.

Usually I will need to clear the Browser and News reader cache or I will run out of space and get browser FC.

So my question.. what should the prefered partition sizes be? Maybe a discussion or a review by those who know would help some of us who might have them set incorrectly! From reading this forum it sounds like others are able to install way more apps without issues. I also have an Android phone and zero issues with space.

So let me start by providing some storage information...

Tablet System Storage (internal)

Total space: 114mb (seems really low to me)

Available space: 0.00B (of course I'm out! LOL)

Tablet data Storage (internal)

Total space: 14.83GB

Available space: 14.49GB

SD Card (external)

Total Space: 7.59GB

Available space: 5.10GB

If the partition sizes are incorrect, what is the suggested sizes and how would I go about correcting them? I'd suggest that, once we have the perfect (if such a thing exist) or rather recommended partition sizes listed, we post them with the first post for all to use.

BTW Great effort by all on the work that's been done so far on the TnT Lite for this tablet! And a special thanks goes out to roebeet for going above and beyond!

Your efforts have truly made the Viewsonic G-Tablet a keeper for me.

And one last thing for Viewsonic, if ur reading this, What's wrong with you guys?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Titanium Backup in the market
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Tablet originally came with a 2gb partition so something changed yours. If you are using Clockword you can repartition. I use 2gb, and 0 for the swap and load all kinds of stuff.
[G Tablet General] necromonger89:
The partitioned and swap sizes are listed on the first page for people having the reboot problem. I believe its 2048/256 or max on everything. After the partition my Internal storage shrunk to 13.something GB! Hope that was your answer.

PS I just updated like right now, will see if I don't get that browser problem.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, something is seriously amiss with /data - should be 1.5GB+.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
If you have clockworkmod recovery, try clearing your cache or wiping the user data if that doesn't work.

If you don't have clockworkmod recovery, install clockworkmod recovery and then see above. :)
[G Tablet General] miker2431:
Funny thing. I re-upgraded to 2.4, as the problem showed up again in 2.2. If I open it and then re-open it like 6 or 7 times, it eventually loads. Weird!

[G Tablet General] rushless:
Sam Tab has a better display and less bugs, but the Gtablet pros IMO outweigh:

1. Prefer 10" display, in spite of weaker viewing angles

2. 13gb more space- not counting microsd

3. FAR easier to root and rom with

4. USB host: 64gb thumbdrives and 500gb hard drives work well (fat32 course).

5. A lot faster than the Hummingbird.

6. No proprietary connector needed for data connection.

7. Wifi connects fast on the G and has good range.

Big catch though is if you do not want to mess with modding- stay FAR away from the Gtablet.
[G Tablet General] vsc:
This happened to me but on Vega. In short from the logs the internal flash file system got corrupted. The file system was not fixable. I restored from a clockwork backup which cleaned up the problem.

My guess is that in a crash of the kernel the file system was left corrupt. Only a guess, but it is clear the file system was unfixable.
[G Tablet General] bblackmoor:
Wow. So what should I do to make sure that this never happens to me?

And is there anything at all the OP can do to fix this, now that it's happened? Could he maybe get a "restore" file from someone else, and fix it that way?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've noticed fsck errors in dmesg, on /data. I'm wondering if it's being unmounted properly and that if, over time, the FS is getting corrupted. I had to re-create my partitions at least once and I wonder if its related.

It could be a bug in how the Malata devices are designed. Again, just speculating here.
[G Tablet General] dog2490:

Went to Sears and got my gtablet. Loaded tnt 2.4 and it works awesome. I can't add contacts though. It force closes when I try to check on a recently created contact. I'm new to Android. Went from Palm to BB to this. I can see this taking a lions share of the workload from my laptop.

Excellent instructions too. Thanks
[G Tablet General] tyy10002:
FYI. I got the problem when I used clockwork to backup a ROM (TNT2.2). I ended up wipe out everything and installed Vegan B3. I am pretty happy with Vegan b3...
[G Tablet General] NMCBR600:
Just checked and fsck is not included in the load. I have seen in dmesg where the system wants to do a file check of the ext3 partition due to number of mount or days and it cann't. Having fsck might help.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's not in a vanilla Vega build, either. I wonder if its not there for a reason?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Something to do with the kernel that no one has access I believe. I had the acore stuff happen yesterday with VegaNB3. Only thing that fixed it was to do a clockwork factory reset, and cache wipe followed by a restore. Tablet was working fine, came back an hour later and when I pressed the power button to wake it up I was in the process.acore fail land. This has happened in every rom I have loaded at one point or another. Just a random working good, then I'm not kind of thing.

I wonder if the lag after wake, the acore fail stuff, and others are not related to something hosed up in the kernel.
