I believe they are talking about the block size not the total size of your partition.

If you have clockworkmod recovery installed, you can repartition the sdcard from recovery mode. Remember to save everything first over to your pc.

How hard is it for you to drop it...a mod had to go back and delete posts you made off topic. No other posts were deleted.

Zpad 3.0 VPN

Has anyone tested the VPN options in ZPAD 3.0? I have been trying to connect to my work VPN server and I keep getting connection failed. I can connect via my laptop so I'm sure the server is up and working. Any thoughts? :confused:

Update: I have been searching through other Android forums. VPN (with encryption) for android has been an issue since 2.1. They removed (or forgot) the module in PPPD. The fix (or hack) is to use the PPPD from android prior to 2.1. There is some debate to where to put it. In system/bin or system/xbin. The Droid X phones use xbin, and it seems the g-tablet has it in bin. I am too new to android to know how hard it is to get a hold of system files or how difficult it is to get them into the correct directory.
[G Tablet Android Development] kodakeos:
sorry if this has been covered - Whats the k/b/mouse support on this ROM? trying to decide between this (already installed it - looks great!!) and VEGAn since i know it has k/b/mouse, but other caveats...
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
You are correct. I fixed it and redid the fix...working like normal now.

BTW guys, highly recommend you buy thumb keyboard...best tablet keyboard ever. You can modify the size of it through settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
I love that keyboard. And an easy way to change settings is to long press the keyboard looking button on the bottom left.
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Now I officially love this keyboard now. This was a key piece of info I missed
[G Tablet Android Development] Muscleboy:
There were several other peoples deleted at that time and more since then..

Lol that was the post I was talking about I was asking you a way to get voicesearch my question and others were deleted not your post. My simple point was my posts and a couple other blokes was rendered naught moved off..not a huge deal just annoying and bloody wrong imo as a board practice. The question I had was whether there was anyway to look up voicesearch in market since I couldn't find it in spite of having rather broad market. But its sommat a moot point since I fixed the gb keyboard w voice issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] Muscleboy:
Excellent...funny I was working on fixing the problem w sleepmode going into offmode and fixed just have to refine the fix. Will check that.tks for the info
[G Tablet Android Development] duchski:
Care to share how you fixed it?
[G Tablet Android Development] duchski:
Rothnic,

can you post the link to 2.2 version again?
[G Tablet Android Development] TheMightyElk:
I agree, i keep seeing people that said they fixed it but no one cares to say weather it is a fix or not a fix. we had a theory that the kernel was possibly dropping the cpu too low on sleep and forcing the tablet to crash. any hint in the right direction would be good though.
[G Tablet Android Development] ufem:
Hi, would like to ask you whether this ROM is also suitable for Malata ZPAD T2.

Because on the first page, is modified to G TABLET. :confused:

Has been translated using Google. I am from Germany. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] afarooki:
question

I installed the zpad rom and have a couple of questions:

Is it possible to install the stock browser and keyboard?
[G Tablet Android Development] mikec86:
Has the power sleep problem been fixed yet?
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzmanmonty:
great build. i've scrolled the posts, and cant find answers to two questions.

first question,i cant find a setting that lets the main screen auto rotate. any way to do this? auto rotate in settings is checked, and every thing i load but home screen rotates.

second question: i installed v3.0..on bottom of the main page there is a ZPad Compatible Performance Pack download. is that for older builds/already incorporated into v3.0, or is it something i can add on to 3.0?

thanks for your help!
[G Tablet Android Development] JohnShaft69:
zooming/scaling removed? well shiite

i have reverted to 2.2. It seems i am the only human that uses zpad rom and uses alot of OLD android software. The zooming feature "Application zoom" nested in settins-display, on it cannot be beat, nor have i seen it duplicated. i managed to get new market running on it, and i guess ill use it forever. I cant believe that noone else uses that feature.

2.2 4 LIFE!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
Yes, that application zoom does work and it's not the same as compatible mode and LCD density.

Some apps Only work under the zoom feature. I wonder if this feature can be extracted and apply to other ROM...
[G Tablet Android Development] pcmtse:
I have a T2, but I haven't tried this ROM.

chances are this will not work on T2 because Rothnic mod the T2 ROM in order for the G-tab to use, you may better use the T2 ROM instead.
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
This thread is about the most valuable thread on XDA, great ROM, great Q&A and great community, thanks to all.

I installed zpad 3.0 a few night ago and I love the new look (previously had 2.2 which was fab) - great work Rothnic and others.

I am having just two small frustrations with it right now, and I wonder if anyone else is having the same:

1. it feels slightly laggy (by that i mean a little slower and less responsive to touch), certainly not as snappy as 2.2, and sometimes it takes several pressed on home screen just to get an app to launch

2. if I allow it to go into Sleep with a document open in OfficeSuite Pro (free version) it appears to crash necessitating a complete reboot (and all changes in doc are lost, which is the resultant issue).

I wonder if anyone else has noticed either of these (I know the second one is quite specific), or if anyone has any info that might relate these to other problems to which there is already a solution.

Thank you for the great thread and discussion

David

:)

(I am considering going back to 2.2 for the speed and stability, thats always an option i guess)
[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
I haven't noticed proplematic lag -- Seems fairly quick to me. I'm sure it's not what that chipset is capable of, but it's certainly not objectionable.

Yeah, mine won't wake from sleep most of the time. Aggravating.

Also, it seems that links on web pages do not work sometimes. They will highlight, but not open. Sometimes trying again works, sometimes not. Sometimes I have to hold on the link, and Choose Open from the pop up.

In Maps, I cannot two-finger slide to get the 3D buildings view. No biggie -- IMHO, that's just I candy, but I thought I'd mention it.

I have tried a few attempts to get voice search working, but I have not found any useful info yet.

I installed over a 2.0 Zpad, and did a complete wipe before and after the install.

I really like this ROM, it's much more "standard android". I appreciate the Dev's work, but just wanted to put these comments out there in case there is a fix, or as feedback. I'm certainly

not

complaining.
[G Tablet Android Development] ItsDon:
Rothnic, any ETA on an update to this?

Whenever I disconnect the usb mass storage the tablet resets. Any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] jazzmanmonty:
I don't know if I missed something when scowering the pages but is there a fix yet for the sleep issue? At first it was just a delay when going from sleep to wake, but now it doesn't even turn back on when I try to wake up. I have to hold the power button and it just restarts the device. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Android Development] stanglx:
We all speculated that the "lag" was not a lag issue but power management issue which did not set the voltage properly when coming out of sleep...

The symptom you describe is just that... a different symptom of the same issue.

I thought this was also fixed in this build using the latest Nvidia fixes.. Depends on the Kernel
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
Hi guys

Im liking this build more and more.

Two questions...

1. I wonder does anyone, like me, preferred the browser that was in the 2.2 build. More importantly does anyone know how or where i can get it (its not in my market and can't find apk)

2 I also have a very annoying problem with very temperamental 'a' and 'l' keys, ie just above 'shift' and 'backspace'. Sometimes they take 3 or 4 presses to work accurately.

I saw a few people talking about 'thumb keyboard' but that's not in my market and I can't find the apk anywhere else. Anyone have it or any ideas for the insensitive keys?

Cheers for all the great comments

[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I've been using pershoot's latest kernel from here, and have not had any wakeup issues.

Has anyone tried this?, and can you share your experience?
[G Tablet Android Development] akh96:
I'm running 3.0/clean with pershoot's 2.6.32.28 kernel, and no sleep issues.
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
This is good info. Thanks. I think rothnic said he he was using the same kernel as that.

Is there some easy instruction for installing that kernel please? I found the link on the other thread to download it but the instructions are very light and I don't want to brick.

I have clockwork mod and will of course do full backup first, but where do we put the zip, and whick option from cwm menu is the right one to install it please? Or is it more involved than that?

(I suspect quite a few people on this thread will be very grateful for a simple step by step, if anyone in the know would be so kind as to do this. Maybe it should be a seperate thread like the 'how to install cwm, a rom, and market' thread?)

Thanks guys
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
You install the kernel the same as the rom with clockwork.

Download the kernel.

Place it on your internal sdcard

Reboot into clockwork recovery

"Install zip from sdcard"

"choose zip from sdcard"

Browse around until you find the kernel zip and select it

reboot and enjoy
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
1. IDK

2. Make an empty file named "calibration.ini"

Place it on the root of your sdcard

Reboot your tablet

Don't touch the screen until it completely boots

Delete the calibration.ini file
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
Thanks. All went smoothly.

UPDATE...

No more power/sleep issues. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
I tried the calibration fix you described. No change.

Just to be clear, I don't find any problems with any other keys, just 'a' and 'l' (L)

I just did a test by repeatedly tapping the a key then the l key. For the a key I had 2 out of 20 and the 9 out of 20 taps register, and for the l key I had 4 out of 20 then 11 out of 20.

Upon further testing I find itvworks almost 100% if I use a slow and deliberate THUMB press (something to do with the larger thumb area?) but it is unreasonable to have to adapt typing in that way. All other keys are very responsive so general typing speed is very fast, its just a real problem to have to keep stopping and backspacing cos an a or an l did not come out.

Thanks for your suggestion its a shame that did not work, but thank you for trying.

Anyone else experiencing this or hve any ideas...?

Cheers

Zpad clean working w bluetooth keyboard

So I'm running 3.0/clean with pershoot's 2.6.32.28 kernel and i purchased a visiontek blue-tooth mini keyboard and mouse. it sync's to my galaxys with no problem straight blue-tooth and the mouse and keyboard works perfectly. i was able to get the keyboard to work with some major finagling and blue-input apk but even though i can type if blue-input controls it the device is not even showing up as paired in blue-tooth. is this a kernel issue a radio issue of some sort or an issue with the ROM. i am not an android expert so i apologize if its a dumb question.
[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
I think the answer is "Yes".

I can pair my Rocket Fish BT keyboard, but I have to use either hcitools or blue-input.

In neither case will it show connected in the Settings app.

Also, keyboards interfere with WiFi, and cause both BT and WiFi to frequently disconnect.

The inability to pair and connect through the normal Android settings could be considered a ROM issue, and the instability is probably a kernel/radio driver issue. (Although obviously, a kernel is included with a ROM, so there's a bit of semantics here).

Worse than that, my Apple USB mini keyboard does not work either. (but a Dell USB keyboard I tried at work does).

I'm not going to go out any buy another USB mini keyboard every time there is a kernel issue, So I am basically hosed (at least for now) as far as physical keyboards are concerned. )-:
[G Tablet Android Development] brentslim:
The only reason for removing the file is so it doesn't calibrate it every time u reboot.
[G Tablet Android Development] iammuze:
@rothnic do you think debounce code would be useful in trying to solve the power button issues?
[G Tablet Android Development] daveingram:
Do we not already have the solution. Latest kernel. Since installing it I have no more power button issues and others I think have found the same experience.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yeah pershoot released another one tonight that works very well with zpad. I think the only outstanding issue is the typo in build.prop, the 3d rotation fix, and the voice search problem. I'm back running Vegan and fixing some issues, so hopefully I'll get Gojimi to run me through the changes he had to make.

Other than that it is a solid build, and ran it for well over a week with pershoot's kernel.
[G Tablet Android Development] iammuze:
even on pershoot's latest kernel i've found that trying to put the tablet to sleep with the power button can just flick the screen off and then on again, and on wake the power option menu still appears pretty frequently. they implemented debouncing code in cyanogenmod for the nexus one to solve some similar issues, it sounded like it could be useful here.
[G Tablet Android Development] iammuze:
try searching "teksoft" in the market and downloading blueinput demo. i couldn't find this on the market on my tab so i side-loaded it from my phone. the demo is free so i don't think anything would be wrong with my posting it here, if you can't find it.

this app allowed me to use a cheap chinavision bt mini keyboard, and it should work with others. eventually, hopefully, the gtab roms will feature built-in bt HID support like cyanogenmod does.
[G Tablet Android Development] JohnShaft69:
kernel only?

can someone please post only the kernel for v3.0, so that i can use its benefits on zpad v2.2? Pershoots kernels break fat32 hdd access for me. i would be grateful.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sprdtyf350:
You sure it really broke it? Pershoots kernel has a bunch of modules that you need to install for things. I don't know if that was one of them..
[G Tablet Android Development] thebadfrog:
Have you tried clemsyn's kernels? Maybe I'm wrong but I think the stock kernel has the lag on wake issue. I haven't been on a stock kernel for awhile so I don't know
[G Tablet Android Development] JohnShaft69:
Yes I have. Stock zpad 2.2 is only Kernel I have that wont freeze on fat32 drives. Clemson or pershoot. Wanted to try 3.0 zpad kernel. Any help?
[G Tablet Android Development] SnakeManJayd:
Sorry, posted a noob question, but then I think I found the answer.

I'm new, just trying to piece together what I've read so far on the forum.

Can't wait to try the Zpad 3.0 when my zpad arrives, thanks rothnic.
[G Tablet Android Development] Newanzer:
Just tried Pershoots latest gtab/zpad kernels (1/14/2011) with Zpad 3.0. In both cases I got the Magic Mismatch. One of which even took out the clockwork mod. I had to NVFlash back to stock.
[G Tablet Android Development] dpappyp:
I saw it mentioned earlier, but didn't see a solution: Anyone figure how to get the tntlite music player on this rom? The stock music player on zpad 3.0 along with any other market player doesn't see my music on my sdcard2 well at all. When I had tntlite I loved its music player. So, re-installed tntlite and ripped the music 8.0 apk from it, then re-installed zpad 3.0, then installed tntlite's music 8.0, but when I try to open it it just force closes.
[G Tablet Android Development] iammuze:

[G Tablet Android Development] miphonematt:
My best combo

So I've owned my G Tablet for only about 3 weeks now, and being no stranger to flashaholism I have tried just about every ROM on XDA for the GTab. ZPad Clean v3.0 with Pershoot's Kernel is my favorite combo by far. I have great mouse support with a cursor (using a Microsoft Wireless Notebook mouse that I picked up for $19.99 at Fry's Electronics) and Bluetooth keyboard support using Blueinput Demo with my Apple Wireless Bluetooth keyboard (it's very mini at only about an inch to inch and a half wider than the GTab in landscape). So from the peripheral support aspect it's great.

In addition, I find it to be consistently snappy. Other ROMs I've tried were snappy as well, but after some use they seemed to start getting bogged down and I was required to reboot to get back the snappiness (even after trying to kill apps/processes with a task manager and even command line tools).

I added ADW Launcher EX and my favorite widgets, and this ROM is now everything I want in a ROM that is currently available.

Thank you rothnic for your work on this ROM! I'll be shooting a donation your way in the next week or so
[G Tablet Android Development] mimo777:

This is a very nice rom!

I think this is a very nice rom; the screen response is outstanding! I installed pershoot's kernel but could not get wifi to work afterwards so I fell back to Clemsyn's KERNEL. Anyone else run in to that?

I also noticed that on this rom it does not search SDCARD2 at so if you have music, photos or video you have to move them to SDCARD. Anyone else run into this? Have you found a fix for that?

Anyone got reliable Skype working

Anyone got Skype working reliably with this ROM?

I've been using the hacked Skype on my Nexus One (hacked to allow WiFi calling even when not on Verizon), and I side-loaded this onto my G Tablet but it is telling me it is unable to login, just hangs on login screen (saying 'signin in').

It would be a real bonus to have Skype working on this tablet in this ROM, so wondered if anyone had found a way or was working on it?

(running Rothnic's [awesome] ROM, and the 2.6.32.28 Pershoot kernel)

[G Tablet Android Development] boedha:
Maybe a stupid question, but is this rom going to work in a Zpad instead of a G tablet.

I have flashed vegan-tab inside my Zpad but I have trouble with the wifi connection.

The times I can connect is for only a few minutes after that I can't connect any more. I have to reboot and keep trying.

I get the message WIFI ERROR

Maybe this rom will solve my wifi errors.:mad:

[G Tablet Android Development] noob4eva:
Same here, segmentation violation in some native code. And the same under previous version of ZPad. Under TnTlite Skype works fine, but I'd rather have ability to switch keyboards than Skype. What I noticed if I install Skype in "sdcard unmounted" mode, it does not crash just stays on login screen unable to login. It is still unusable, but may be the info could could be of some use to devs/cooks.
