I am stupid please help

I come from the IPHONE world as a developer and am abandoning it for Android. So you would think Flashing a new ROM would be a piece of cake.

Here is what I did. I downloaded the TNT Lite mode and the ClockworkMod that went with it (So I thought) I then decided to go with CyanogenMod 6.1 Beta4.

After I rooted, I installed the ClockworkMod then installed CyanogenMod and rebooted. It works Great. DAMM, need to install GAPPS. Ok, get the GApps ZIP for GTablet and put it on my SD card. Go into ROM Manager and it tells me there is a new version of ClockworkMod, so I Do the Upgrade and now the current and installed versions match. Now I tell it to install the GAPPS zip and then says it will go into recovery mode. Tablet Re-Boots and does NOT go into recover mode. OK I then power the tablet off and do the Pwr/VOL+ to force recovery. Now come the interesting part. The ClockworkMod version is the OLD version that I installed when I was going to use TNT Lite.

It appears that I have 2 ClockworkMod's. I am assuming one is on the internal SDCARD (Now renamed by CyanogenMod) and the External Micro SDCARD.

What do I do the fix this.

Thanks for any help (At some point I may know enough to help other users but not today)

UPDATE: Was able to install GApps using Older ClockWorkMod and All is working. Had to Clear Cache as it would not boot until I did. Now my only issue is that it is SLOOOOOW...

Quadrant show High Marks, But the Screen (Live Wallpaper) pauses every 3 or 4 seconds then resumes. Scrolling is sporadic. Was much smoother before the GApps Update.

Is this something that I can fix???

Cheers,

Billyb

I am in the same boat. Everything was working fine and I decided to go from Cyanogen to VegaN but when I tried to go into recovery it didn't.

I noticed that in Rom manager instead of ClockworkMod 2.5.1.1-bekit-0.8 RomManager installed 2.5.1.8. I tried flashing an alternative recovery (bekit-0.8) but it didn't make a difference.

What do I do now to fix it?

I can't get into recovery and when I looked on how to go back to 100% stock the NVidia Tegra SDK is no longer available for download.

Help!!
[G Tablet Android Development] eclps:
Not enough posts so I can't give a link but go to nvidia's tegra developer page and download the "Android 2.2 (Froyo)". That installer will have the drivers you need. The dropbox link will have the nvflash executables and stock image.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
The first ROM I went to was CM6.1b4. Well I finally switched to the Vegan with no issues. The vegan rom seems much better and stableto me, thoughts below:

cyanogen pros & cons:

pro: everything works once setup, angry birds, flash, market, etc...

pro: quadrant score: 2380

con: still in beta

con: no update in a long time, no one seems to be actively working on it, when was the last time we got on update?

con: sound issue

con: need to install gapps after rom

con: seems slower, more FC

con: issues seeing internal sd card when plugged into USB

con: need power cord plugged in when using USB for SD card

vegan pros & cons:

pro: everything works once setup like angry birds, flash, market, etc..

pro: quadrant score: 2450

pro: sound issue fixed

pro: lots more people working on it, new releases all the time

pro: screens, menus, etc... all seem faster

pro: no FC that I can find except in the settings in couple places

con: still in beta, but so is CM6.1

con: not sure I like the soft buttons, the upper task bar, kinda cheesy, but I can live with it

So which one you going to choose? why would you still choose CM6.1? thoughts anyone?
[G Tablet Android Development] evilive69:
Brookefield...and anyone else with this issue.

I finally got my tablet straightened out and working. Evidently, something got corrupted in the boot sector, at least that's what I think happened. For whatever reason I could not get into recovery and my only option was to go back to 100% stock. Here is the thread I followed to fix it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=861950&highlight=nvflash_gtablet

If you follow the links posted to download the nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip file make sure that you don't accidently download the zip file with a "46" in it.

The instructions are straight forward about unzipping the software and where to put it, booting the tablet to APX mode and running the nvflash batch file.

Once you are done the tablet is just like it was out of the box.
[G Tablet Android Development] brookfield:
Thank you for the info on flashing back to stock. I figured that was always an option. I am not sure that I have the exact same issue as I can enter recovery (Only using PWR VOL+), but it is not the same version of ClockWorkMod that show in Rom Manager. What I believe may be happening is this.

When Tablet was STOCK, there Internal user space was named "SDCARD" and the external Mirco SDCard was named "SDCARD2". After flashing with CyanogenMod 6.1, then internal names was changed to "emmc" and the external Micro SDCard is now named "SDCARD". So the the location of the name "SDCARD" was moved from being a reference to the Internal to now being the External.

I am hoping that someone knows a less drastic measure to fix this issue, but if not, then I will use the Re-flash back to stock option.
[G Tablet Android Development] Deuces:
the easiest way to use this mod, is with an external SD card for your data. the sdcard/emmc remapping wasn't the best method, hopefully it will be changed up soon.

i am a CM nerd on all the phones ive ever had, but this is not developed enough for daily use IMO.
[G Tablet Android Development] HorsexD:
Anyonce Notice the Cyanogen 6.2 Beta 1 In Dowloadable roms in Rom Manager? Tried it and alot of the same bugs wer there so i just Restored to 6.1 b4. Atleast you get the options to download Gapps.
[G Tablet Android Development] evilive69:
Oops..wrong thread
[G Tablet Android Development] urbanartfx:
hope i didn't brick it.

need help.

I downloaded the file and changed it to update.zip then i did the recovery press. and now my g tablet when it boots up shows the viewsonic screen and the g tablet screen and then goes to a black screen that says android and sits on that screen. any help would be great.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Not bricked, can't brick these things. Sounds like your internal sd card /data might be corrupt. You can try to re-partion the data might help. I would hook ub the USB port to computer, install adb on computer, and use adb logcat to see the log and what might be causing it to hang. Try wiping data/cache first as well.
[G Tablet Android Development] ald9351:
My tab wouldn't boot to recovery either. Follow the post about losing recovery.
[G Tablet Android Development] dr.diesel:
Currently running CM Beta4. I upgraded Rom Manager to 3.0.0.2 from the market and it doesn't see that ClockworkMOD is installed and wants to install it again, is this safe or is the Rom Manager/etc on a version specifically for the G-Tablet?

I'm really thinking of buying an HD7, but im stuck in between a dell streak.

Im using it to replace my cruddy netbook so i'll be luggin a bluetooth keyboard around.

The dell streak can connect with a bluetooth keyboard but can an HD7 do that? cuz it will otherwise be perfect for word processing with the kickstand and office.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alabij:
You pose a good question but at this early stage it's like comparing apples to oranges. The HD7 right now is just a phone, literally. The Dell streak is really a tablet and full featured.

There are a million threads all over the forum about pro's and con's of the HD7. I would suggest glancing through those threads to see if any of the attributes apply to you.

You should also check how easy it will be to get the Word document on/off the phone. From what I read the document has to be upload to your Skydrive account first. And the mobile Skydrive page loaded in IE, not the Office hub, from where the Word document is opened. And, I may be wrong, any edits are NOT saved back to Skydrive. I'm sure I read this but hope I'm wrong.

I'm guessing editing documents will be a lot easier on Android as you'll have direct / easier access to your Google Docs.

Could you please prevent the non-GPS location indicators from showing up? No one ever toggles them, so they're pointless... And the stock ones are ugly and distracting.

ThatDudeButch seemed to know (I think he edited it out of his). The images are stat_sys_location_e911_2.png and stat_sys_location_on_2.png in drawable-hdpi of framework-res. No idea where the code making them show up is.

Ok, i finally found what could work in creating ad-hoc network with my notebook. I finally made a root with unrevoked and i don´t know what should i do next. I need to make this :confused:

"* Add your ad hoc network via Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings -> Add Wi-Fi network

* add the line "ap_scan=2" to /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

* add the line "mode=1" to your network's section in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

Your final result will look like this:

Code:

ctrl_interface=eth0

update_config=1

ap_scan=2

network={

ssid="Ad Hoc"

mode=1

scan_ssid=1

key_mgmt=NONE

priority=41"

Yeah, I was a big huge JonasL HTC IME mod fan until I got the Tab, but I find in a lot of way Smart Keyboard is better, has a decent skin selection, and is highly tweakable to suit your needs. I actually think the HTC IME was what the developer based Smart Keyboard on, there's so much similarity.

Only thing I miss was the neat build-your-own theme kitchen that was available for the HTC IME.

Download the trial version from the Market and see what you think. It was totally worth the $2.00 or so it cost to me, you may find it works for you too.

Can someone here recommend which new phone on contract (I like the HTC'S!!) are the best for value for money and ability to make changes to the software etc. I want to get a 3 mobile contract as I belieive they offer the best deals. Also, what would I need to buy to make software changes (can you point me in the right direction!). Further to this, where can I obtain the best contract deals around and which mobile will allow me to install normal windows xp/2000 software that works on a desktop pc to work on a mobile? Thanks in advance
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
It has been rumored that the updates are going to have the possibility of being blocked by carriers, but that unlocked handsets are going to have the option of getting updates directly from Microsoft. So, my question is, if I IMEI unlock my HD7 would that allow me to bypass T-Mobile's decision to possibly block an update? Or would I still be bound by the same rules?
[Windows Phone 7 General] mwako:
i would use that word "rumored" very well.

t-mobile i couldn't see blocking it or wishing too impact on their customers mobile experience to be the best it can be, Simply by saying "no" without a reason to an "update" to help the phone O.o

Never gonna be impossible to update it.

[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
I've been watching the preview video @ AndroidCentral I think they have covered the phone quite well.

There Neocore test show a score of 75 FPS - that 20 FPS more than the Samsung SGS/Vibrant.

Since the Samsung SGS/Vibrant comes with a PowerVR SGX 540 chipset (Device Magazine) which is the best out there along with 1GHz ARM Cortex A8 processor - whereas the Droid Pro comes with a PowerVR SGX 530 chipset (Motorola Developer site) how comes this baby is giving out a much better FPS rate?

Would like to hear your experienced views on this!
[Droid Pro General] Mackattack:
If you compare it the D2/D2G, DX, and Milestone 2 you will notice that the DP performance is better that those devices despite the same cpu/gpu combo(but less internal memory). So, from what I am reading most of it has to do with the lower HVGA screen vs the VGA screen of all aforementioned devices. Lower screen res means less work for the gpu.
[Droid Pro General] Jibreil:
This makes so much sense for improving battery life and plus what's the point on using such high res screens whereas the human eye can perceive only 200dpi.

Just a thought! :cool:
[Droid Pro General] bwhite757:
Personally I agree. It really makes me mad that I saw all these rave reviews on the Samsung Galaxy S phone's screens, but me personally I can't tell a difference between my Fascinate and my DPro, other than the fact the screen is smaller.

Maybe its time for me to see the eye doctor.

Kinda wondering why you need it... Wireless N not good enough ? O.o ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
i'm pretty sure if you have it wired to your PC, it automatically uses your computer's data connection. i can't test this at work, but if you want to test it, just turn off wifi and data connection, connect it to the PC, and try and browse the net.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mwako:
Yup. Nice one, Data Off, WIFI off. Still getting pages on USB, Unconnect USB and no pages load untill reconnected on USB.

given this confirmation, you now don't need to turn off data connection on the phone. just connect it and it will automatically use the PC data connection.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Talys:
Isn't it funny how something that many people wonder, "why did they build that?" can turn into someone else's "favorite feature"? :) That's happened to me so many times with gadgets that I've lost count.

I'm curious -- why is it an important feature for you?
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
Well, I'm constantly in situations where I can't find 3G signal, my internet bundle has run out, or I'm right in front of a computer using the internet, there being no point in me using my data allowance. Thus, this is my new favourite WP7 feature! I actually love Microsoft for it! I was feeling a little bit of sympathy for Android having left it, but all that is gone now :P
[Windows Phone 7 General] ohgood:
usb reverse networking, hmm, won't that interfer with usb mass storage - or at least slow it down ?

i don't know how folks do it on windows, but with mac it's as simple as turning on adhoc wifi networking, then enable wifi on the phone. we routinely adhoc guests phones so they can save their data plans for being on the road.

Erm, Windows Mobile had this feature a good few years back.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GenkaiMade:
My phone history is as follows:

A series of black and white nokia phones ---> Sciphone ---> Android ---> WP7 ;)
[Windows Phone 7 General] The Gate Keeper:
this is the method that can be used by the rest of the phones. but if you don't have wifi, how is it possible? with previous versions windows mobile could use activesync which also allowed for usb storage mode. with windows phone it doesn't have storage mode but instead has zune integration, but still allows for cable data transfer (or as dubbed in this, reverse tethering).
[Windows Phone 7 General] /)4rk H4r8!n93r:
So theoretically, if the phone can receive a data connection from the computer connected to the internet, then it should be possible for the phone to provide a data connection to the PC. Hopefully someone can figure out the trick and create an app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] seansweat:
The reason this is important to some of us is because we are too far from cell phone towers to get 3g and WiFi is forbidden where we are. In my case I work offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.

Sometimes the unlock option is not even offered and I have to soft-reset, though more often I get to do the "two unlock taps in different places on the screen" dance.
