its slow with the stock interface. once you root and replace that with zpad, its pretty zippy. ive got no regrets yet, and i almost constantly have regrets after spending a little cash on electronics.
[G Tablet General] bmasephol:
I'm in the same boat... I've been looking for a tablet, non iPad, and saw this in the black friday ads for Staples. Just noticed that there is no price difference between now and those ads. $400. So I'm tempted to pick one up. I have a Epic 4g and enjoy how android 2.1 works so far. I think the hardware sounds good just hesitant because of software issues... but as much as I know those will be ironed out by the smart people on these forums. I may just pick one up tonight.

I added a general FAQ here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842899

I tried to lay out some of the current pros and cons, so feel free to look it over. Everyone's needs are different. I happen to like mine and plan on keeping it.
[G Tablet General] ijustbrickeditithink:
i originally purchased one, then i was lucky to grab 2 more that were refurbs, and i have been using all the builds here plus ones i have been trying to get stable of my own, only to find that it is nearly impossible to truelly screw this thing up beyond repair, not saying it isnt possible, just saying it is hard to do it.

i like the rothnic builds as the zpad builds are based on hardware that is identical to the gtab, but sold under another name malata i think. that is not to say that all the hard work robeet has done is not great as his builds are highly stable as well. Great job to both guys.

i currently have 7 builds of my own. the first two are not based on zpad, which are the ones i am having a major issue in figuring out what i am screwing up. on the 5 other builds, i am using zpad as my base and adding a very trimmed version of andriod 2.2. i am trying to keep everything to only what works all the time everytime in my zpad builds, where the two non zpad builds are based on my own version of the kernal, could be my whole problem, but neither are stable yet. for me to release my 5 versions, small differences with how games load, flash, utube, and some office stuff...apks...would not help anyone as rothnics builds and those who helped him are superior to mine as of today. hopefully, i will figure out my culprit that is causing my issues within the builds.

i will only release what will work 100% of the time that i create, otherwise, i am only congesting the forum with useless crap and not actually helping anyone...
[G Tablet General] bmasephol:
The nearest sears that will probably carry it on thanksgiving is about 100 miles away... so I might just bite the $20 bullet and freebie SD cards and case and pick one up tonight.

If I ever get free time I'd love to get involved with the development... just always busy with other stuff.
[G Tablet General] switt:
The core of the tablet is a dual core 1Ghz Tegra 2 w/ 512 mb of ram. Its very close to the fastest ARM hardware running Android atm so 2.3 will be no problem. Nobody can tell whether 3.0 will require dramatically more powerful hardware but its doubtful considering 600mhz Droid 1s are running 2.2 just fine.

That said, the ability to support isn't the issue here. The problem is with official support from Viewsonic. They need to release their source for any devs to be able to get deep enough to upgrade to a new build (correct me if I'm wrong here). Barring that they would have to release their own version of updated Android. Considering the condition of the initial build I am not hopeful Viewsonic or the OEM will supply this support so long after purchase.

While not having the latest Android version is going to suck, its not going to reduce the functionality of the device. I think this hits a sweet spot atm. Its not nearly as expensive as the Galaxy Tab but it gives you something to mess around with until the real Tier 1 tablets come out next year. The Galaxy Tab is still build on the same non-tablet OS so investing $600 at this time doesn't seem wise. In addition, the powerful hardware keeps hope alive that this tablet can be brought up to snuff even in a year when we'll likely have 1.2 dual core 1gb tablets.
[G Tablet General] ijustbrickeditithink:
i do not think they will support it, or only for a very short duration, which is why i am trying to develop something.

according to a customer service person, it is cosmetic issues nothing highly important, which leaves me unsettled.
[G Tablet General] gabemeyers:
picked mine up today, with high hopes for this tegra chip... but so far viewsonic has managed to destroy what could and should be a sweet set up... havent been able to push a rom onto it yet, still looking to root but even still my EVO blows this thing out of the ocean, lets be honest here... did they pull this screen from some speak and spell from the 80's?

and you with guys with the epics are going to laugh when a movies playing on it

its late, so in the morning i'll get back with how it fairs with a root and rom dosage

ohh ya... whats with the constant wifi error? out of the box a wifi device should at least connect to WIFI, unless viewsonic was going for a true 80's speak and spell
[G Tablet General] bmasephol:
Stopped at staples last night and grabbed one. I'm looking for an instant on web browser/video player. Coming from my epic the screen sucks but nothing I've seen compares to my epics screen. The stock device is pretty laggy but I'm about to flash a custom rom and try that out. I have 14 days to return and staples said they would take it back no questions asked. Ill post more later.
[G Tablet General] mopar:
I think with the upgraded rom with the dell home and flash is great, and now that we have the full market I can't bring my self to return it. .. lol
[G Tablet General] xfernand:

Get it at Sears for $340 with a $50 replacement plan. Can't go wrong there if you flash it and break it... No regrets here either. If you are like most of us cruising this forums for cool stuff, you will love.

Can't see myself owning and iPad and be just like everyone else. I have yet to see to Android devices (from Android fans) that look the same....
[G Tablet General] mopar:
If you install all the fixs here this thing rocks. :D
[G Tablet General] rickyt63:
- Returned 1st one after 2 days due to constant loops (wanted to exchange but no stock).

Lots of force closes with stock firmware + external sdcard / usb stick unrecognized.

- Picked up 2nd one and replaced with Zpad 1106 firmware:

* Very Zippy, have not experienced FC's so far.

* External sdcard / usb thumbdrive work fine.

- Now my son can have my old 12" Dell XT! :)

I am trying to install apk to data/app in update.zip. However, whatever method i did in updater-script, it does not work!!

i mounted data, userdata, etc. Is it because galaxy s does not allow mount on data in recovery? I see other roms and how they have it working using update-script, but i rather use updater-script because it is more new.

please help me

Hi han.azuki,

Did you ever find an answer to your question? I've been searching for a while too!

Cheers,

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
So if you put this:

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2", "/data");

in your script, it doesn't work? I find that very hard to believe...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danalive:
Hi Tyxerakias,

I don't have this in my updater-script, however I will try it tonight after work.

Can you please what each parameter does exactly? :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:
This just mounts the data partition, without that you can't write to it, that's why your script fails. If you send me the file you want to insert, I will make a zip for you so you can see how it should be.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danalive:
Ah ok.. I think I have it mounted (i've tried it manually anyway through recovery before flashing the .zip).

I'll attach the updater-script I'm using then to this message.... thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyxerakias:

unmount("/system");

unmount("/data");

add that to your updater-script

also the reason we unmount /system at the start of the script is incase there is a mount error, so we remount it to avoid issues

also to extract files to /system/app or /data/app

make your .zip filesystem like so

--Ect

--META-INF

-zip

--system

--app

replace system with a folder named data to unpck to /data

unless they re did the game again the free version from samsung apps has better graphics and is the full game, if you push samsung apps to the phone and swap the build.prop file from the i-9000 then you can grab the game and swap the build.prop back to the one from the rom you are running, but i dont think it has wifi, i never thought to try multiplayer. all i know is the one from samsung is butter smooth and has a "samsung mobile" super car as the best car you can buy.

working demo
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Blaze03:
Okay guys heres the full game hope Im not breaking any rules!

Need to do a bit of work to get it working but after you do enjoy the fun!

Quick how to:

1. Extract Folder and transfer to your phone memory!

2. Find a way to install the NFS .apk

3. After the game install do not start the game right away!

4. Open back the folder you extracted and inside look into the "Android Folder" with a "DATA" folder and COPY "com.ideaworks3d.nfsshift" folder!

5. Now go back to your phone memory and open your phones "Android > Data Folder" and paste the "com.ideaworks3d.nfsshift" folder here.

6. Enjoy game!

Not really good at making tutorials so let me know if its not clear enough!

PS. IF the game is in another language just go to the options and change it ... its not that hard just follow the icons, options = wrench and the last option in here "é" changes the language

If megaupload not working heres another option

I'm running the DJ29 2.2 ROM and have been unable to fix my GPS with any of the fixes I've read. Flashing back to 2.1 and then to 2.2 works for a day, but then the GPS fails to lock. So, I understand that the 2.1 DI18 modem.bin is compatible with 2.2. However, I've never flashed a modem. I have used ODIN before to go back to stock, but if someone could please lay out detailed steps on the process of flashing just the DI18 modem.bin over my current 2.2 ROM, that would be excellent.

Thanks,

If you were running DI18 before you flashed the DJ29 rom you should still have the DI18 modem since there was no modem.bin for dj29.What does your baseband say in about phone?

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
This probably won't work if you have a Voodoo kernel installed. The Voodoo kernel is unlikely to be patchable, since it's not native RFS, and does not use /etc/fstab.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] epakrat75:
I have a Vibrant and this is why I have avoided using the OCLF in the past. Many ROMs don't even need a lag fix. However, with that issue gone, I'll at least try it and report back on it. :D

I knew it would not work.;-)

The thing i was testing was if you could do this on a kernel that has note been patched. Well you can press the button and the phone restart. I guess it try but failed and restart again.

Can you do a check on the kernel so you know its patched?

I thinking of ways happens if people try every kernel without the patch. It should point them to the website.:-P

Instead of restarting the phone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] specialex:
can i use this with speedmod kernel?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RyanZA:
It checks for a /z4mod/z4version file to determine if it's been patched already. If you are using an earlier patched z4mod kernel that doesn't have that file, then it won't work right. If you start with a stock samsung kernel then it should work fine.

Feel free to give it a shot, but the current emphasis in this 0.9 app release is on patching and lagfixing the stock samsung kernels. Once that is all working and bugfree across devices, then I will look more at supporting custom kernels. At present, any custom kernel that does not change the initramfs (in particular, the /init binary and init.rc mount options) too heavily should work fine.
