You did the Market fix, correct? Angry Birds is what I usually do for my install tests.

Long home button is known caveat -- I need to ask gojimi to help fix that one. Power button one I don't know about -- maybe it's something else the TnT devs pulled out a few weeks back?

I think 3.0 is a tad slower, as well. But the SDCARD2 scanning seems to make up the difference. Did you wipe user data? It's really recommended.

Only if you are using something other than 2048 (the default). The new Market doesn't seem to like 4096, for example.
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
just installed 3.0 on my 2nd (new - running factory VS TNT) Gtab using ver 8 clockworks, and its running REALLY good. A huge improvement over the 1st Gtab (currently running 2.2). Gonna upgrade my 2.2 with 3.0

No FC's or errors yet. Everything works except for long-hold home which I expected non to work.

Thanks R!

Location Services Broke?

I cant seem to get location services working, anyone else have this issue? I cant seem to find where to turn on in settings
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
as far as i know, location services doesn't work. there is no gps chip on the gtab. wifi location doesn't work either.
[G Tablet General] y0chang:
wifi location service worked for me in 2.2.2 does it not work in 3.0.0?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've never tested it - was there a setting in 2.2 that you could check / uncheck? Maybe this was something that was removed in the new stock firmware.
[G Tablet General] y0chang:
I just restored to 2.2.0 and it seems like location services didn't work in 2.2.0 either. Guess I was thinking of my Pandigital novel where you could hit the "use network location" checkmark in settings.
[G Tablet General] tmellen:
Location Svcs for Wifi DO work, you just can't turn it on through settings... I don't know where to, though, either. One way to test this is on the Weatherchannel widget. When adding a widget, when specifying a location for the weather reports, you can click the "test" button to see if wifi geocaching works. It reports me right where I'm supposed to be. Unfortunately, it then says "it works, so go enable it in settings" and takes you to settings. Where you can't enable it... :|

Roebeet,

When do you think we will have 3.1.0?

Thanks
[G Tablet General] bekarhoo:
Very interested in this
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Still holding off until VS makes 3338 official. I am going on the assumption that it will be the final release so I've been testing it. Probably not much of a difference from 3.0.0, as far as I can tell.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I started from "scratch" just for the heck of it.

Now the "scanning SD Card" comes up intermittently. All the time. Any time I open an APP or view the contents with a file explorer it shows up and slows everything down.

Before I updated from the previous version to 3.0 it would only come up on boot and last a few minutes.

Now it's just coming up all by itself whenever it feels like.

Also hitting the soft menu "Home" button no longer returns me to my home page. I have to hit the "Home" icon on the upper left hand of the screen in order to get back to "home"

(notice I didn't say anything about "hitting the home button doesn't give me my running apps. ... because I did read the first page! :) )
[G Tablet General] jokerjay:
According to ViewSonic Twitter... GTab updates will be pushed out by Friday. ^AH

I bet when we all come back from the holidays roebeet will have us a nice little update for us. Thanks roebeet.

Later,

[G Tablet General] sdkessman:
That's How I do it too. I keep the old one in a backup folder, Just in case. With Clockworkmod you can choose which update you want to run!

Can not say thanks enough!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yeah, it might be Monday. If they push midday on the 24th, there's no way I will be able to make an update in 2 hours. Going to be away for the holidays. :)
[G Tablet General] chadti99:
Is anyone else having an issue with the new Marketplace where the ratings are only showing one star for everything?
[G Tablet General] Coldfirex:
I see that too with v3.0.
[G Tablet General] lamlam01:
i was on 3.0.0 for 2 days; then last night the /sdcard partition got completely corrupted. 90% of the files/folders showed as zero byte with extended ascii character names. luckily i had a backup of my /sdcard on my pc so i was able to restore. i was using the tablet as I normally do and i always unmount from pc before turning off usb mode. i always shutoff the tablet normally using the power button, so it was not user error that caused the data corruption. you may want to backup your /sdcard to your pc as i think there's a serious storage management issue lurking in 3.0.0.
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
So im getting an error in clockwork mod. I cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk3p2. I'm in a boot loop and cant install backups and installing the update.zip wont work. Any suggestions?
[G Tablet General] chadti99:
Plug your GTAB into your pc and use the USB mode in CWM. The internal SDCARD will mount to your PC allowing you to transfer the update.zip.
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
i actually have the update.zip on the correct sd card. Data wont mount for me to install it.
[G Tablet General] cyclisto:
anyone else having problems with dropbox? I get an error saying my clock isn't set properly (it is), and can't log in. I can log in with droidbox.
[G Tablet General] chadti99:
You might need to repartition.
[G Tablet General] jokerjay:
I had this problem, but fixed it by going into settings (under TNT) Location, date & time. Make sure your time zone and date are correct. Mine was wrong time zone and once i changed it.... works fine.
[G Tablet General] ak110707:
I think your right, i can mount everything now. Now i'll try and mount to USB and upload update.zip, install it and then restore my nanadroid backup. Thanks man.

Edit: I'm out of bootloop!
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
Bootloops usually require a SD card re-partition in clockwork. 2gb, and 0 swap work good.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Yep, known issue. I think it's in the TnT Framework since the VEGAn does not have this issue.

3338 has this issue, as well. I'm not certain that we'll see a fix with 3.1.0.
[G Tablet General] malenhead:
Thanks to the entire XDA GTab community!

I am a newbie to the community. These threads helped shape my decision to go with the Gtablet over Ipad or other MID and I couldn't be happier. The level of help, instruction and knowledge I have gained from these threads has been unbelievable. Thanks for making my Gtablet in demand in my house. I started with CWM v2.2 of TNT Lite with ADW and have just loaded 3.0. No major issues to speak of.

Though I thought I would pass along a finding, however I am not technical enough with the OS to state anything other than an end-user comment. If this type of feedback should not be here please let me know proper etiquette for the thread as i stated "Newbie".

Switching from 2.2 to 3.0 I did notice that Skype no longer works. I was pretty excited it worked for me in 2.2 minus video, but it simply clocks on sign in under 3.0. Fring I have not tried under 3.0 but it did not work in 2.2 giving a horrible screeching sound on test call.

This is by no means a gripe or criticism, just hoping to provide feedback for the greater good.

Thanks again Robeet, Bekit et al.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Did Skype ever require extra work to get setup? Or did it "just work" in 2.x? I honestly never tested it.
[G Tablet General] jwlehane:
I seem to be in this situation, but I can't get to Root, because my phone became unrooted AND USB Debugging is turned off. I try to go to settings to turn USB Debugging on, so I can run Z4root, but i think acore manages settings activities (views), so it closes with a force close every time I try to turn on USB Debugging.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.
[G Tablet General] digger44:

came up with another method (easier than the one I found), using Titanium Backup, of dealing with this acore problem here:

For those fortunate enough to find this forum

I would like to mention how greatly I appreciate this forum.

I bought my gtab on 12/14. I found a post over at Android Central that I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon and led me here. You see I have never had an android device before this or before 12/14. I had read the reviews and knew I was going to root this device as soon as I purchased it, I just had to find the information. Once here I couldn't believe my luck.

20 min after getting home I used tnt 2.0 to root. thought it was awesome.:D

15 min later I was upgrading to 2.2 and found my self in a boot loop:confused:

some 20 min later I learned how to fix the SDCARD2 and got my system back up.:rolleyes: Feeling pretty smart.

Over the next few days I learned to install the Clockwork Mod.. updated to 2.3.

Today I was updating to 3.0 and it began giving me error 7 or something and I couldn't use all the tricks I had learned, it would load but it was less than I hoped to experience. Didn't have a freakin clue..:eek:

Thanks to post found here today I learned to format correctly and I am happy to say I up and running like an champ with 3.0.. the new Android market and with flash installed. It is really awesome..quick.. zippy..makes my iPhone 3gs look like a rotten apple. :p

You and I both know I am an ultra noob at this but thanks to this forum and 2 weeks worth of playing with Android and this tablet I am an Android guru to my friends..:cool:

So I want to say thanks.. Roebeet and all who post with information..you are doing an awesome job with an awesome tablet.

Merry Christmas:)
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
FYI, I won't be around from Friday to Sunday

Traveling for the holidays, so my access will be spotty at best - just a heads up!

(I actually got some PM's on Turkey Day, so I figure the same might happen on X-mas). :D
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
Roebeet...

I want to upgrade my (Gtab #1) from 2.2 to 3.0, however I do not want to loose my purchased apps. How would I go about by doing this?

Also on my 2nd Gtab (which has your new 3.0) ,- When I go to the market , I do NOT see "my downloads" with the apps I purchased (that are on Gtab #1), how would I make that tab see them? Even though I am logged on with the correct username / password

So basically I want both on 3.0 with the purchased apps I bought
[G Tablet General] jwlehane:
Thanks for the great suggestion, but my problem appears to be that my gtablet keeps unrooting itself, and Titanium Backup requires Root. As you will see above, at this point, I need a way to clean install the system, or get USB Debugging turned on to be able to root with Z4mod.

I have never successfully installed CWMOD whenever I try, the install fails. and reboots.

Johnny
[G Tablet General] malenhead:
It just worked! ;-)
[G Tablet General] malenhead:
Well there is an update. Was just out at Skype's site and they had a supernode problem so maybe 3 will work as well once the issue is resolved.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I honestly don't know and I'm hoping someone can chime in. They only paid apps I have were actually purchased outside of the Market.

I just got a 2nd Gtab, so this is something that's actually on my mind - can these be backed up in something like Titanium Backup and, more importantly, when I restore will the Market pick up on that? I actually have a few apps that I plan to purchase, so I will be testing this soon.
[G Tablet General] Moonwizard:
ROEBEET!

Roebeet! Have a WONDERFUL and SAFE holiday trip! Thanks for all the effort you've put into this project! It's greatly appreciated!

I hope Santa doesn't bring you another GTab though. I suspect you don't need another one. A nice tie or a pair of socks would be better.....

Thanks again!

Cifs/Samba

First, thanks again for all the good work you guys have done, I think someone mentioned earlier that viewsonic should be in touch with you to help keep the tablet viable and profitable for them and you. By the way, does this kernel or the vegan kernel support cifs?
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
Ok, figured it out...took me a few hours, but got it.

*On Gtab #1 (has paid apps) - Update titanium backup (must be same ver as Gtab #2)

*Backup paid apps with titanium back

*connect both Gtab 1 & Gtab 2 to computer

*enable both Gtabs USB file transfer

*Copy contents of Gtab 1 /titaniumbackup to Gtab 2 /titaniumbackup folder (so contents of G2 are the same as G1)

*disable both Gtabs USB File Tranfer

*Run Titanium on Gtab #2 and do a recover (backup apps should be listed on the list), if not redo steps

*Tada! paid apps on #2

Worked with all my paid apps including Documents to Go (backup only Key)

no full market with tnt 3.0

I had installed the 3.0 version works fine, but I can not use the full market. Please, any help!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Did you try the market hack? I don't know if it's 100%, but its a fair amount.

Not yet. And assuming TnT doesn't add it, we'd need kernel source to attempt it ourselves.

AWESOME, thanks! And this should also work as a backup, in general. I think the first app I should buy is TB - that tool is a must have.
[G Tablet General] babybacon:
well paid apps are tied to your google account so if you have all of your correct google information in the account. they SHOULD be there. like all of the paid apps i use on my eris are also on my gtab without having to pay twice.

the only reason why they wouldnt is because the market is not seeing the device correctly or the device isnt using the market correctly.

this happened to me once. where some of my paid apps werent showing up. market fix took care of it.

you might also try muxxing with the build.prop fingerprint.
[G Tablet General] deependh200:
I am running 2.2 and skype works for me, although it was much easier to sign up on the website thaan through the app.
[G Tablet General] zerozed99:
I have some purchased apps that I got from within the Google Market; they're different depending on the app. I purchased Swiftkey Keyboard for my EVO from the Google Market and Google handled the "checkout"--SwiftKey now automagically shows up as a paid app on all my Android devices. Titanium Backup is different. I purchased that, but it took me to a site off-Google to finish the transaction. They email you a "key" that you have to place on the root of your drive. So when you go to the market, you don't necessarily get that app identified as "purchased" but the "key" they send you allows enhanced functionality (well worth the price BTW).
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Has anyone notied a difference in touchscreen sensitivity on 3.0.0 compared to 2.4.0?
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
+ or - ?

Mine seems to be slightly more sensitive (-) to the touch. It's not a huge difference. The smoother scrolling in TnT Lite 3.0 makes up for it in my mind.
[G Tablet General] usafle:
I've got a file called "gapps-mdpi-tegra2" that appears to be filled with the latest google apps (CarHome / Street / Talk ..etc..etc..)

Do you think that it would be wise to attempt to install this app-pack in Recovery? Not even sure if it works, just grabbed it because it had "tegra2" in the filename...

I'll wait on a reply for this one.... LoL
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Got a link? I wouldn't mind testing it myself, for a future TNT Lite 3.1.0. Does it have the new Market?
[G Tablet General] usafle:
Sent you a PM.
[G Tablet General] cyclisto:
Got it - thank you. It seems the clock is not DST savvy, I had to move my timezone to Atlantic instead of eastern and correct the time.
[G Tablet General] hogasswild:
Much less sensitive. At first I thought it was me, but now I'm certain it's the build. It's making me consider going back to 2.4.0.
[G Tablet General] Butch1326:
Did you do a wipe data when you went to TnT Lite 3.0? When I tested beta 5 for Roebeet, it was much less sensitive than the official 3.0 release. My suggestion if you have time is to do a data wipe, and reinstall TnT Lite 3.0. I saw much improvement when I installed the official release. I agree that 2.4 was more responsive, but the difference isn't that significant. Right now, it's hardly noticable to me.
[G Tablet General] cybermage1:
I just attempted to install Tango - which failed installation.

After that my market constantly crashed when I tried to install anything so I rebooted.

I got stuck in a reboot loop.

I ended up using CW to partition my internal /sdcard like mentioned elsewhere in order to regain a working tablet. Of course everything I'd done since installing the rom was gone, including the market fix.
[G Tablet General] xfernand:

[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
yea viewsonic just tweeted a bunch of stuff a few hours ago.

this was one of them: Our new GTablet s/w will allow playing multimedia directly from the microSD card. Can anyone else do that?!

i have no idea what that means though. can't we all play videos from sdcard already? or do they mean play videos without need to convert first?

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
TnT Lite 3.1.0 is being tested

I want to get this out before the holidays for two reasons:

1- The 3316 TnT build ended up being a pre-release (even though some users, like me, did get it). 3.1.0 is based off the new 3389 build.

2- gojimi fixed that annoying artifact on the stock calendar, so I'd like to get that pushed out ASAP.

So far, 3.1 seems fairly stable - a slight improvement over 3.0 just for the fixed Calendar. Still have the stars issues with the Market, however. I also pulled estrongs because I just don't like it - I added the iFile Manager that's in the VEGA build instead. Simple and usable. I'll also add the Home Switcher Froyo version, to see if that works a little better.

Btw, with the new update TnT Lite is starting to become a little less important. But, it has a few changes that I prefer over stock:

- Rooted

- Improved busybox (which works with Titanium Backup)

- ADB enabled with adb remount

- Gapps preinstalled

- Improved Quadrant scores over stock

- Stock apps versus TnT apps (for the most part)

- ad-hoc networking

- Hacked calibration which works with /sdcard

- /system/xbin added, which gives you command tools like sqlite.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
I saw they left that evil Angry Birds game in there. It will still screw up Seasons likely yes?

I am of the if it can be installed from the market it doesn't need to be cooked into the rom camp myself. Removing E-Strong and all the other stuff that is available in the market would be a good thing to me. I have a big list of stuff that I hide with LauncherPro...
[G Tablet General] xfernand:
Thanks for the Christmas gift Roebeet... Have great time & enjoy the holidays.
[G Tablet General] brian_h_kim:
no Angry Birds w/3389
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
They moved it into /data in 3389, so it shouldn't mess up ABS anymore. We can't replicate what they did because the syntax they used doesn't work on clockworkmod, at least not yet. So if you flash stock with standard recovery, AB installs. But with cwm it does not install.

I've left Estrongs in there for a long time, but I finally realized that I just don't like the darn thing so why keep it? I like iFile much better - it's simple and does the job. Plus Estrongs is in the Market, if someone prefers it.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
Hope the testing comes out clean. I am ready to give it a whirl. Currently running Vegan beta3 and am planning on flashing both 3.10 and beta4 to see what works best.

OT but I was just at Sears and picked up the official G-Tab case on promo for $5.99. Nice case, has carry handles and a place to hold the power cord.
[G Tablet General] FybrOptx:
I had this with 2.2. Thought it was when I plugged in a USB flash drive to view a movie off of it. More and more files started appearing. Was able to delete all but 7 or 8 of them. Not even trying from within Windows would delete them. Flashing to 3.0 (and resizing the partition from 4k to 2k) seems to have solved that. Haven't seen the files reappear (knock on wood)...
[G Tablet General] purduecmpe:
I use advanced task killer and I've noticed with 3.00 random programs keep popping up... Kill them, and after a few more hours more random apps started... Usually so many apps get going it makes browsing sluggish.. DAE notice this? Again just started with 3.00!!
[G Tablet General] anlog:
I have that "problem" on every Android device I own. A lot of apps autostart and keep restarting so that they can "call home" (and do God knows what else). TaskPanel can kill a custom list of specified apps as soon as the screen is turned off.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I've seen this since TnT Lite 1.x - and with gapps it's more worse. Seems that every other app I have wants to put itself in memory. Ugh.

Testing 3.1.0 final, now. Just making sure the Market fix works.
[G Tablet General] muerteman:
I hate to be the guy that asks, but is 3.1.0 going to be a full install or a supplement. I'm hopefully recieving a G Tab for xmas, and I would like to have CWM, TnTLite and everything else downloaded beforehand so I can enjoy the beast as soon as possible. Thanks
[G Tablet General] antoniouslj:

Roebeet,

[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
Just flashed Vegan Beta4 yesterday ! ...

Well, will flash again! :)

Merry Xmas !!!!
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It's a full one - the "full minor" versions usually are, since they are based on a new system.img (in this case 3389).

Normally I wouldn't have these so close together, but VS threw us a curve ball this week!

Hope everyone has a GREAT holiday weekend! I'm actually loading up 3.1.0 on my day-to-day device now, as I want to see if I get the "videos disappearing" issues that are happening on VEGA beta 4. I'll be offline by mid-day tomorrow.....
[G Tablet General] gotwillk:
thanks roebeet! have a wonderful holiday! :D
[G Tablet General] schwagness:
Does this 3.1.0 version fix the display of the star ratings being cut off in the market? or were you just referring to the "market fix" as just making it so you can see all the apps in the market?

Thank you for all your hard work on this ROM it is greatly appreciated!
[G Tablet General] muerteman:
Thank you so much Roebeet, I know have TnTLite 3.1 and clockwork mod downloaded and ready for saturday morning. I can't wait to help test feature builds, and I look forward to an awesome tablet. Thanks again and merry christmas.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Stars are still being chopped off, unfortunately. I can't pin down why, given that the VEGAn build uses the exact same Market file and yet does not have this issue.
[G Tablet General] cuzzinz:
Merry Early Xmas to me. Got my gtab :-D

Roebeet what do you run primarily vegan or tnt?
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
That happens if it is using the wrong density icons. Replacing them with MDPI ones would fix that problem. I think tablets are hard for devs because they are MDPI devices by definition, but require some HDPI icons to look good.
