Paid Apps FREE?

After we do the Market Fix for Version 3.1.4, are we able to get Paid Apps for FREE? Just curious if this is possible since I haven't provided any credit card info but I have put in my gmail id and password to access Marketplace.
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
No, the market fix won't get you free apps. It just gets you a better selection of apps to stare at...
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
I have a stock android phone and I just tried themarket on that with the same server error that I was seeing on my gtablet. Clearly it is a market issue and not related to our tablets.

TnT Lite 4.1.0, if anyone wants to kick the tires

It's basically 4.0.0 without the data2loop. I made a full base image instead of a supplement, only because I don't want anyone using 4.0.0 as a base and then a 4.0.1 to pull out data2loop - it's just too messy. With that in mind...

4.1.0 Link: http://www.mediafire.com/?p0e8a0ldml6zdzo

Still kicking the tires but feel free to test it out. Assuming no major issues, I'll post it to my OP, tomorrow.

Btw, still have the stars issue in the Market. :( Could not fix it. And I pulled out the cifs.ko module, given that there's no reason to have it in + customized kernels have their own modules. I did leave the modules folder intact, just so it's there for you to use with any .ko files you might want to add later.

The main reason why I'm releasing it is the possibility that it corrects the media deletions, and possibly the lag fix. So I'd prefer to have this out given that their next firmware update might be until the EO the month.
[G Tablet General] devilhunter:
Thanks everybody for their hard work on the G-Tab...I gave up and returned it today and purchased a Malata A1101 (Basically a G-Tab w/ 1GB RAM and no LCD viewing angle issues) I look forward to the next release of TNT Lite!
[G Tablet General] satishraman:
Was able to restore to 3.1.2 from my backup and still got the market error. Rebooted couple of times, now its working as normal. Better to have a lower version than with no market
[G Tablet General] CARMELHILL:
Just saw these last few posts about the Market Server error. Just by coincidence I was out food shopping at 4:45 tonight and decided to download Quadrant Standard onto my Droid Incredible to compare it's scores to my GTab. I had the server error four times. I was using wireless at the time to plug into the local Cablevision neighborhood wifi. I think it worked OK after I switched to 3G, but I can't be certain. If I had seen these messages earlier I would have paid more attention to the problem.

So I don't think it's our Gtabs. Maybe they were in the process of doing some Honeycomb testing ??? :-)
[G Tablet General] Black_Fatboy:
New guy to the G Tablet. Just wanted to post up and say I'm currently running the latest Vegan 5.1 on my G Tablet and, as of right now , can download fine from the market. On my mom's G Tablet running TNTLite 3.14, I'm getting the server error and cannot download apps
[G Tablet General] zanzora:
Could the error be cause by the market v2.2.10 upgrade from v2.2.7? Seem like the market error is effecting all devices.
[G Tablet General] Black_Fatboy:
For me, that's not the case. On the one running Vegan, my market version is 2.2.7 and as I said, its fine. The other, different story.

I'm happy to help delvs or anyone who's smarter than this slow guy troubleshoot as I've got two tabs til Saturday morning. One working market, one not. I just need to know what info is needed to help this... other than usernames and passwords... Hehe.

Least this slow guy can do to give back since there's so much help I've received here!

Anyone have a 2.2.10 link? I guess that's a new upgrade, in the last 24 hours?

[G Tablet General] racedog:
Ok, I applied tnt lite 4.1.0 and it went through the whole process. I rebooted expecting all apps to be gone, launcher pro to be gone etc. Instead it came back up right into my normal screen with everything in place just as it was before I applied the update.zip.

I tried the market and it came up with the network error but after hitting it a couple of times it seems to be working normally again.

I then went to the settings and checked "About" and it is still showing tnt lite 4.0.0! I can't figure out what is going on, did miss something? I watched the unit apply 4.1.0 and it went through the entire process.

edit: I just went back and ran quadrant and it is showing 3136. It doesn't look like this update got applied. What do I need to do to make sure that 4.1.0 gets applied?

[G Tablet General] mcgeeb:
Tried to update directly from 4.0 without any luck. Did a format of boot/system/data and ran the install again - all went well. No problems as of yet. Quadrant scores are back to between 2300-2400.
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Did you install using clockwork recovery?

Did you clear data/cache?
[G Tablet General] racedog:
Yes to both. I have clockwork recovery .08 running and installed from that, I cleared cache before applying update. I saw the post before yours so I will try clearing the directories mentioned in that post.

Applied wrong version

Just a major hit of stupid on my part. I extracted 4.0.0 instead of 4.1 and updated the wrong version. I'm going to apply the right one now.

[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
may be a dumb question, but what are the benefits of this new TNT lite version? I had 4.0, but reverted back to 3.14 due to inconsistent issues. I am willing to update, and love to test for you guys, but am wondering what has changed since 3.14 and things other than dataloop being removed?
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I put in 4.1.0 and on reboot all I'm getting is roebeet's flash screen that just keeps looping. Where do I go from here?

Sorry for the newbie questions.

R
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Install your backup and reinstall. If that doesn't work or if it's bootlooping after installing the backup you will need to repartition your sdcard in clockwork recovery to 2048 and 0
[G Tablet General] GenBlood:
Was tnt lite 4.10 pulled too? If so, what was the reason for it getting pulled?
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
It is not officially posted yet. Look a few pages back for the link to download it if you want to test it prior to release.
[G Tablet General] FacelessMan:
Roebeet, any luck making this work? I can get the market to run, but when I try the hacks something gets borked with my Google Framework. It keeps force closing over and over. But, I'm on 4.0 and have been messing with framework and market a lot for the past day. I'm clearly a terrible test subject. I'm just wondering if it worked for you. I did notice that the stars are still cutoff.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Thanks - it sounds like 4.0.0 is setup in such a way (data2loop?) that upgrades don't work. I will add that my my first post, when I update it. Sounds like data wipe is definitely needed.
[G Tablet General] kalove23:
I upgraded to 4.1 last night from 3.14. Everything went smoothly and is still running fine. My market seems fine so far today but I haven't used it extensively.
[G Tablet General] mcgeeb:
If you have CWM installed - format your boot/data/system (or maybe just data, not sure) and try re-applying the update.zip.
[G Tablet General] urbanrunner:
roebeet,

It seems you have some knowledge when it comes to TNT lite...lol, am i am curious what benefits are there from going to 3.1.4 to 4.1? what are some specific changes made? I looked back a few pages to try and find the answer, but have not found anything yet...
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Nothing concrete, but we think that the media deletion fix and lag fixes might be in there. At least that's our guess. The problem is that CS won't tell us - they won't even acknowledge that it exists, anymore.

Going to release it, this afternoon.
[G Tablet General] ndgayan:
Release as Beta Version

I think release this as beta version is good. I need to know that run like 4.0 speed?
[G Tablet General] Sprdtyf350:
It won't be as fast because the data2loop has been removed. That was part of the reason it was pulled before.. How fast do you really need it to be anyway?
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It might be faster than 3.1.4 but it won't be as fast as 4.0.0. data2loop sped things up, but it also caused problems so I had to pull it.

As for calling it "beta" - technically these are all beta. :) I feel pretty comfortable with the 3452 build given that a lot of us already use it. We don't know why TnT Inc. does what it does. Last week I was told that this was a released version, so go figure.
[G Tablet General] rapcon:
Robeet,

Is this the stock UI only or does the option exist for both stock and Tap UI. As a preference, I like being able to show the two different looks.

Pardon the double post, need to figure out how to delete a post.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
I pull out most of the stock apps in TnT Lite, and their TnT homescreen. You'd probably want the rothnic performance pack fro stock, although he only has it up to the 3389 build (I think).
[G Tablet General] ddarvish:
question.. does 4.1 get rid of the lag on wake issue? also can anyone suggest the best kernel to use with this release. i am currently on Vegan 5.1 and HATE how when i bring it out of sleep the tablet resets like half the time.. is that an issue here?
[G Tablet General] thebadfrog:
Its believed the lag is gone from the 4.1 release however you can flash either clemsyns or pershoots kernel on vegan or TnT and get rid of the lag. I believe the current kernel from pershoot addresses the reboot on wake issue. The one from clemsyn may as well but I'm not running it. These kernels also seem to work with zpad clean.

Running 3452 with old marker and 3389 with new, but are giveing the SERVER ERROR, but work, download and update apps. Even anounce updates on status bar ( but slow to do so ).

4.0.0 Continues to be Solid for Me!

Perhaps I am one of the fortunate... 4.0.0 has been running quite well, and I enjoy the performance gains. I think I'll sit on this version for a while before upgrading again.
[G Tablet General] ItsDon:
I'm currently running 4.0 and just lost my Market :( Everything has been running great for a week. I love the speed of 4.0 and have no other issues so I'd like to keep it. Can you tell me how I can replace the new Market with the old? I'd like too give that a shot before bailing to 4.1.

I just finished installing TnT Lite 4.1.0 and completed loading my apps. The install went fine. Thanks Roebeet :)

I came across this posting for an updated Market APK:

After I downloaded the APK file (from the posting), I opened up the TnT Lite 4.1.0 ZIP file, unzipped the update.zip file, and copied the updated Market APK file I downloaded to the /system/app/ directory. Then I removed the Vending.apk file that was in the /system/app/ directory, renamed the updated Market APK file to Vending.apk, and zipped up a new update.zip file.

I'm starting to test with TnT Lite 4.1.0 now. So far so good. The market fix worked fine. No FCs.

I verified I'm running 3002210.0. Let's cross some fingers the Market fix holds up...
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
I'm in the same boat. Running 4.0.0 on both my G-Tabs since last Saturday (1/8) and no issues to speak of despite rebooting many, many times trying to break it. Market v3002207. Kids are installing/deleting new apps every day. Speed increase is hard to ignore. For the first time, I think I am going to wait awhile before updating.

Ok thanks man! I'm running TNT-Enhanced v2 and Clemsyn kernel seeing 3200-3300 consistently no FCs and have both UI's. It is kind of the best of two worlds. Solid as a rock. Not sure what's under the hood but I think it is 3389.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
After reading the Google forums in the links provided earlier its becoming clear that 4.0.0 was not the issue, the market is the issue. I'm still getting the server error with 4.1.0 and others are reporting it on 3.1.4 and also on VEGAn. The 4.1.0 is clearly slower but I can live with that over losing 512 megs of space. In the Google forums people are screaming about it on stock android phones.

I can also add that I've been using 4.1.0 heavily this afternoon and it appears to be very stable.

[G Tablet General] jerdog:
Have you gone into Manage Applications and cleared data/cache and then restarted GMail?
[G Tablet General] bajan5026:
Is that true?

The Malata A1101 (as above) has NO LCD viewing angle issue?

I have watched threads about trying to source a replacement LCD for our Gtabs to no avail yet.

Since the Gtab comes with 512K RAM, this might indicate the 1GB RAM model has been upgraded with a better LCD as well.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
The loop patch applies a 512mb "cache" (basic way to describe it) in the device storage memory allcoation. This results in 512mb less space to install apps.

You should notice a big chunk of your device space is gone now, due to allocation for the cache.

I only have 800mb space left for apps, so will not apply the patch, since would than be down to a few hundred.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
The negative is the 1gb version is about $200 more than the gTablet. Not to mention more rare and less support than the gTablet has (for now at least).

The cost savings is a more than reasonable trade-off IMO.
[G Tablet General] lifeisfun:
$395 here:

[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Don't get you hopes too high, Flatpad has not shipped any tablets in over 2 months; just Google "flatpad ship date". I looked into that one back in late October and they kept pushing out the ship dates so I bought the gTab (in OD, Sears did not have any).

The specs and screen look a step up and I liked the direct HDMI out, but did not wanna pay for something I would receive who knows when (on a slow boat from China)...
[G Tablet General] Kwincy:
I've noticed that too. Plus, it only has 8GB of storage space compared to 16 in the viewsonic. I haven't had to buy another microsd card to put in the tab because of the amount of storage space in the g-tab.

I had switch to vegan lastest release for a couple of days love themouse support really neat however to buggie for me now I am running. tnt-lite 4.1.0 and it really is great. My questin is does it have the full market because I don't see tv.com listed in the markt store
[G Tablet General] kozmo2k4:
Just flashed 4.1.0 this morning (only /cache and Dalvik wipe); booted up fine (have to change back the bootani, I prefer the "BIOS"). Ran for about an hour, all is well. When I get back home from errands, will put it thru some test (day off and it's way too cold to do anything outside here in the Sunshine State). Will be interesting to see if the Market is stll acting up; all good on my phone
[G Tablet General] v12xke:
All good points, and really there is no guarantee the screen is any better on the Malata A1101. (Bird in the hand...) I've read the specs on half a dozen similar Chinese tablets and there is no real way to discern the difference in the screens without more information. Maybe devilhunter can elaborate a bit on the differences (if the boat has arrived yet ;)) along with where he purchased, total cost, delivery time, etc. I would recommend starting a new thread in "general" for this topic.
[G Tablet General] racedog:
I was never able to find it in the market but found it available for download by googling tv.com.apk. I have it but don't know the legality of sharing it.

[G Tablet General] erraskey:
You have to do the full market fix (not the quick fix) to get tv.com and several other apps. I cut and pasted this from elsewhere and take no credit for anything other than my ability to cut, paste and follow instructions!

2) Browse in Root Explorer to /system. Then click on Mount R/W.

3) Long click on build.prop and click on Open In Text Editor.

4) Scroll down to the line ro.build.fingerprint=....

You are going to replace that with the following text:

ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys

5) Now you are going to click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O.

6) Now you are going to re-do the original Market Fix. I used the simple version illustrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-ny...eature=related First, make sure Market is running, and browse around in it for a few seconds. If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work. Then, go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET, JUST CACHE**. Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.

7) Now try starting Market again and you get the famous Market Error. Now shut down the G Tablet, then turned it back on. Wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything! I forgot to do that on the first try, so I rebooted again, waited for wifi to connect this time.

8) Now restart Market again. It seems to have sourced the fingerprint from build.prop somewhere in steps 6-7. Searches for previously missing apps now show up. Voila! A truly full market!

Upgraded 4.0 -> 4.1, now I'm stuck in a loop

Hi.

I appear to be stuck in a loop. I get the viewsonic birds, then the gtablet screen, then a few seconds on my boot animation, then nothing.

I have the same problem. I just reloaded 4.0 onto the SD card and make sure you edit the command file to say sdcard2. For some reason i can't up from 4.0 to 4.1 i just get the boot animation 6 ot 7 times then it shuts off.

I've been watching battery consumption on my tablet. I did not lose 1% a minute, but in 2.5 hours I lost 36% of my battery. I am reflashing 4.1 to get rid of the Clemsyn kernel to see if that makes a difference. Too early to tell exactly what caused it. I did restart the tablet after about an hour, but it did not seem to make a difference.
