Yeah, that is what I'm doing until we figure out a way to disable it completely without gutting the rom.

Volume Button Drama

Anyone else getting a 'soft reboot' when hitting either of the volume buttons?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
ZPad Compatible performance pack added. Load this at your own risk, and camera will not work. However, will provide a significant increase in performance.

Root / Superuser

Added the performance pack and cant seem to get superuser access? Won't let me in titanium nor Root explorer.

Any thoughts?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Maybe try starting from a fresh install. I just tried it from scratch, and can "adb remount" fine. I'll check it out more after work.
[G Tablet Android Development] johnzenobia:
Great Rom thanks for all your hard work, having a few issues which maybe you can help me with. Market works but doesn't show all the apps? gmail, calendar,calculator,facebook are force closing. Is there an update for the Google apps parts? Thanks a lot

John
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
You need to do the Titanium Backup fix to get Market fully stocked.

I would apply the gapps update located in this thread.

Once Market is working, trash Facebook app and data and reinstall.
[G Tablet Android Development] johnzenobia:
Not sure what that means? Can you be a little more detailed? Thanks

John
[G Tablet Android Development] johnzenobia:
i applied the updated gapps2 and not a full market. other apps seem to be working better. Whats up with the titanium fix?
[G Tablet Android Development] it2steve:
There is a 'hack' so to speak where you stop the serivces on the framework and maket, then open titanium and wipe data on the google framework, open, error, reboot, all is well... :)

I know that's a mouthful but it's better explained here. I have used it a few times. Be patient on the reboot and follow exactly... It'll work

Same issue

I am getting the same issue, after performance pack Titanium is saying that it cannot attain SuperUser. Unfortunately my tablet is pretty useless without Titanium... no market.

Can you reroot it using OneClickRoot?

Unmount the sdcard, run the install, then remount.

Check the other G Tablet forums; these and other questions are answerd there.

Applied patch and so far things seem to be a little bit better (quadrant ~2400).

Slingplayer still doesn't work, but I can confirm that the movies app by flixter does now work for watching trailers.

I can also confirm that it appears I've lost root.

Also, my calendar doesn't work, but I don't think it worked before this update either.

Start over and do the market hack before you do the prformance pack upgrade. My market works great.

I'm running TnT 2.0.2 successfully now. First time I applied it to my zpad 1.1 load it gave me UID errors so I thought a fresh load was required. Apparently not. Going to setup zpad 2.0 tonight and try again
[G Tablet Android Development] jasco13:
Has anyone fixed the flash problem yet or is not everyone losing flash after restart?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Trist-Wolf states that if you copy the flash to SDCARD then install it like normal, it will stick.

I changed the link for the performance pack to one that has correct permissions for su and busybox. Root should work.
[G Tablet Android Development] jasco13:
Thanks. I went back to TNT momentarily, but it doesn't seem as functional for me as the ZPAD build. Got to reflash ZPAD and get everything working.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Everything running great with fresh install of zpad 2.0, latest test 3 driver pack, etc. Did a full wipe before install. Calendar working again too. No major issues apparent. Going to backup in cwm in case I bork it again.
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
Really hoping someone can help...

Installed ClockworkMod recovery for maintaining my images...

Initially installed Zpad, then wiped data and cache and installed CW6.1b2, then installed CW6.1b3, then went back to now the latest Zpad Clean 1125_1. Clearing both data and cache between each.

My problem is that I could NEVER get flash to work. Even tried to side loading Flash 10.1... and still nothing. Actually, after installing the Flash apk, the browser will die when attempting to try the Flash.

Has anyone seen this? For the life of me, I cannot get Flash to work. Every Flash site says I need to download the latest version of Flash.

Is there a better way of wiping the previous install?

Everyone who's donated time to this - thanks. It's sweet, and it's fun doing this.

If I can't get Flash, I might as well get an iPad.....

EDIT: Fixed. Need to install the Folio Flash apk. I was getting it from Adobe

[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Just mount the tablet to your computer over usb. Copy it to sdcard. Then unmount and run it with a file explorer.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Just to quickly reiterate - I absolutely love ZPad 2.0 + driver update pack. My Gtablet basically lives up to all its promise now less than 2 weeks after I purchased it and I thought it would take several months to get here. The obvious non-functional camera issue isn't much of an issue for me right now, though it would be nice to get it fixed of course.

The good stuff: 2403 is my Quadrant score, every app I want to run is running pretty much flawlessly. I have only the very occasional force close on a few apps. Market works after fix, video playing smoothly, overclock widget keeping min clock at 512, battery life great, web browsing via xScope is smooth as butter, K9 mail working great, games fine. G tablet rocks.

I only have one real annoying issue left now:

Flash works, but after every reboot, the install is broken and I have to reinstall the APK to get it working again. I have it sitting on my SD card in the download directory, so I just reinstall it when I need it, but this is a rather annoying kludge.

I have seen other people report the same issue. This was happening to me with ZPad 1.1, and I wiped everything completely before installing ZPad 2.0, so I know it's not something dangling on my Gtab. Could it be the version of the APK I used? Can anybody point me to a known good Flash APK that doesn't have this issue? Or a proper fix for this problem, if anybody knows one?

I have root explorer installed, so I can nuke the Flash APK from my system directory and install a new version from scratch if necessary.

Thanks so much in advance.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
To answer my own post - I figured out the solution.

1) Using Root Explorer, delete the Flash APK in /system/apps (need to mount r/w first, then delete, then mount r/o again)

2) Install the Flash APK from http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9476506&postcount=26

Rebooted the system and Flash seems to be working perfectly now, and is resilient to reboots. I think the issue was caused by a conflict between the version in /system/app and the version I had installed. Hopefully now other people facing the same problem know what the solution is!

I should say - Flash is now working as well as Flash ever works. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yeah I was hoping it would work like any other APK, but i guess it isn't being registered with the browsers when just placed in /system/app.

I plan on releasing an update soon, with a few fixes like that to address the small issues people are having.
[G Tablet Android Development] DrPaulR:
I was loving ZPad v1.1 so I upgraded to ZPad v2.0. However, I can't find the screen lock that was in ZPad v1.1. This is a showstopper for me. The SETTINGS function looks different and I can't find the set screen lock pattern. Please help as I would much prefer to keep ZPad v2.0 (switched back to ZPad v1.1 for now).
[G Tablet Android Development] hansmrtn:
Does this work on the Gtab?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yes, Zpad and Gtab are the same OEM hardware.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I can add stock android settings back in, but then you are stuck with ethernet enabled. So there is a tradeoff. You could copy the v1.1 settings over the v2.0 settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] hansmrtn:
Anyone have a mirror for the theme? Its down :(. Much appreciated :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I'll reupload it soon along with a new version of Zpad Clean (2.2).

Changes for 2.2 are:

Single package install with all up to date changes

Contacts/Calendar support (needs more testing, works for me)

Gallery 3D that doesn't FC with a lot of pictures

Flash removed from /system/app (sideload yourself so install sticks on reboot)

Performance Pack with working Camera integrated

Phone.apk, TelephoneProvider.apk removed so cell process doesn't eat battery

(signal bar still in status bar because of Contacts.apk)

Gapps integrated
[G Tablet Android Development] hansmrtn:
Would it have the power package installed? Also what are the pros and cons of the PP?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
The cons are you can't use this on a true zpad with a 3g radio. The pros are if you have a Gtablet, then it doesn't seek out a cell signal all day ruining battery life.

Yes this has it included.

I update the link to the theme, the 2.2 ROM is uploading.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Bump for 2.2 update.
[G Tablet Android Development] mhart032:
i have a question about the 2.2. my browser seems to crash if i leave google homepage i set, i cant seem to be able to change the toolbar icons to anything. i cant find any of the theme settings. i formatted did a clean install and wipe loaded everything up. anything im missing? im installing everything from CW via zip files. but on a brighter note this thing is wicked fast with the new 2.2 i love the speed i had really been disappointed with the g tablets speed till now.

thanks

[G Tablet Android Development] it2steve:
Rothnic... I noticed when I first went to 1125 build last week the power button restarted the tab. It was kind of like a 'soft' reboot, this was before the power pack was applied so I've been running the 1106. (thought maybe that may help the troubleshooting areas)

Pulling 2.2 now... thanks for the update brotha!

EDIT: ANY ideas why I cant get a the keyboard to pull up in tapntalk for XDA, long press just asks if I want to select, paste, or add a pic? I hate having to go back to my PC to post
[G Tablet Android Development] Linuxslate:
Sorry, kinda basic questions, but:

What browser is in this ROM?

It says the TnT keyboard is included? Is the normal Andoid Keyboard there too?

i.e. something with a CR key in portrait.

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@Linuxslate - it's the browser from the ZPad I think. It's pretty similar to standard Android browser, slightly different UI, very serviceable. But I have been increasingly using xScope6 which I think is fantastic and better suited to tablet use, well worth the 3 bucks in market. Full screen is great, and scrolling and UI are smoother than any of the regular Android browsers.

@it2steve - I had that problem at one point too with ZPad 2.0 and the original driver update pack, but I fixed it. Try wiping cache/Dalvik cache in clockworkmod. Then try reflashing ROM over current install. I think one of those two fixed it for me. Otherwise, you might have to wipe user data, which is always annoying, or to restore from a CWM backup.

@mhart032 - Unable to replicate that problem. More specifically, is it changing your homepage, or browsing to any page other than the homepage that is causing the crash?

@rothnic - 2.2 seems to be working great. Camera works now, Quadrant scores are just as good, Flash working great, battery life looks very good, everything is almost perfect now. My only annoyance is I still have to use overclock widget to make sure the CPU doesn't get stuck underclocked every time screen goes off and back on again. I think that's a kernel issue though and I think it still affects every ROM to some extent. It's just less noticeable now that everything is so fast due to the improved drivers.

One other minor bug report - If you go to Settings -> About Tablet -> Status, the settings app gives you a Force Close. I think this is related to removing the Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk files, probably the latter, since this issue started happening for me when I removed those files before I even installed 2.2, and the issue seems to still be there in 2.2.

Don't get me wrong, it's well worth it to save battery life, just thought I'd mention it. We probably could do a custom build of the settings app if the source is available for that, that doesn't make any call to the 3G stuff. Just a thought.

Is there a way to remove the lockscreen on wake up? also is it possible to change the android splash boot up screen from Chinese characters to English or replace it with something else like the plain white or gold android small letters of to the side like I've seen on some android builds.

uh oh..

So i gave this a go and seem to have an issue. would appreciate any help.

Starting with a clean Gtablet:

I installed ClockworkMod

Did a nandroid backup of the stock install

wiped data

wiped cache

wiped dalvik cache

installed the 2.2 zip.

It booted up just great and life was good. I played with the wireless a bit, and got an error when i tried to turn the wifi on.

Then i powered down and powered up, and now i'm stuck in a bootloop. I have tried to reinstall the Zpad zip without luck.

Any suggestions?

Tnt 2.0 *Ugh* I want cyanogen or zpad

Ok i just bought the viewsonic gtablet. i found out how to install tnt lite 2.0, i like it alot but not as much as cyanogen and zpad. They seem to have working flash and that is what i bought the tablet for.

Which one is better cyanogen or zpad and how do i install the one you think is best. And how do i get flash on any of the roms.

Please help me and thank you.
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
I have only used ZPad because it was the most stable early on of the non-TnT builds. (I really hated the status bar, but I'm starting to wish for the on-screen buttons.) From what I've read, both ZPad and CM6.1 are both excellent builds.

As for installation and Flash, read the forums; all the instructions are there. You may have to read some older posts, but it's all there.
[G Tablet Android Development] skurdekar:
I did the zpad patch and then the V2 patch for gapps. I had the old Market version so I did the market fix I still see the market error after I reboot i have to keep going in and wiping data for GoogleServices (it says version 2.2.1) everytime after reboot and then market works. otherwise error.

any ideas?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@skurdekar - I saw the market error when I started market the first time after reboot. After that I either rebooted a second time or just restarted market again a second time, and it's been totally fine ever since then. Rather than re-wiping the Google Services data, just try starting market again. If that fails, give it a kill in task manager and start it again. And if those fail, just reboot and try starting it again. If all that failed, you may have gotten things in a bad state, and I think your best bet is wiping, re-flashing the relevant ROMs and trying the Market fix again. If you continue to have trouble with the simple (cache clear on Market, then data clear on Google Services) market fix, try the fix with Titanium Backup from the Apps forum thread. That has worked for everyone, as far as I know, regardless of ROM they are running.
[G Tablet Android Development] mhart032:
I installed the new release this morning and everything seems to work better no more crash. Lock doesn't seem to stay set though reverts back to China. Also is there apk for the android keyboard? I like it much better. Other than the clock everything seems to be great! Thanks for all the hard work to make the gtablet useable!
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Have you tried wiping data again? Also go into the mounts section of clockwork mod - I suspect you are having a problem with a partition. Make sure you can mount and unmount boot/system/user partitions. If not, you may need to repartition your internal storage.

Usually the boot loop issue like you described happens when a partition gets screwed up during the flashing process. It happened once to me. Search forums for boot loop and partition and you should find more detailed guidance.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
You must not have the newest version as there are no more Chinese characters.

I haven't looked into Ciifs support atm, does any other tegra tablet have it?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Try flashing the 2.2 versions, you don't need a separate Gapps patch. Then follow the guide to get full market, it is in dev or applications part of this gtablet forum.
[G Tablet Android Development] mangler1055:
Yep, partitions fix did the trick. found that on another thread. thanks!

Also, I kweird the timezone issue is supposed to be resolved, but I still revert back China timezone, weird.
[G Tablet Android Development] tristanwolf1134:
If you are having issues installing applications, mount the internal storage to your computer as a drive via USB, then try installing. This has been covered numerous times in the forums.

For the time zone, try setting it to an actual time zone (Central, Mountain, etc) rather than by a city.
[G Tablet Android Development] bhrich902:
The timezone I've been choosing is eastern but it won't stick after reboot. Ill try the apps workaround, just weird that out of maybe 20 or so apps just these 3 fail. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] tristanwolf1134:
The installations of apps have something to do with the way the internal storage is mounted. Only certain apps fail because of it. I have had my best luck by installing all apps with the workaround.
[G Tablet Android Development] mhart032:

Questions:

Does Bluetooth tethering work on this ROM?
[G Tablet Android Development] artisticcheese:
Can not install TweetDeck on this ROM. Was able to TnT Lite. This is dealbreaker for me as far as ROMs are corncerned. Is it me or ROM itself?

Mounting internal storage via USB does not help.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@artisticcheese Just tried it, I seem to be having the same issue with TweetDeck installation. Not sure why - I tried it with both SD card mounted and SD card unmounted and it says installation unsuccessful. This is the first app I've seen that has this problem (i.e. isn't just failing to install because of SD card mounting).

If I had to guess randomly, I'd say maybe it has to do with the Phone and TelephonyProviders that Rothnic removed in the 2.2 release? That's just a guess.

I'm sure we can figure it out, but for the time being it looks like a ROM issue assuming it works with TNT Lite, but you're the first one to report it.
[G Tablet Android Development] artisticcheese:
Is it possible to remove "lock" screen? I don't want to "unlock" each time I power device. This is not a phone and does not stay in pocket.
[G Tablet Android Development] etaywm:
I'm guessing that the removal of the phone and telephony apk might cause some Apps to not install.

Tripit is another application that used to be installable but now I can't.

Wondering if we can link those apks that were removed so I can try to reinstall them to the /system/app and see if that will allow me to install the apps.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I think you can just grab the ZIP file for the previous release (2.1 or whatever the version number was), extract those APK files, and use Root Explorer to copy them into the /system/app folder. I think that's your best bet for now... Personally, I haven't found any apps that really need this, so not an issue for me. I suspect now that this has come up rothnic will probably make a new release where removing those files is optional.
[G Tablet Android Development] bhrich902:
yes, but then wouldn't it go back to having the cell process running and eating up battery life? or is there a way to have it installed and not have the process run?.
[G Tablet Android Development] Finch106:
I'm not sure how .apk are built, but I'm sure there are some things you could remove or rename so they wouldn't run. My mind says just have a blank .txt document with a .apk extension and named whatever the removed .apk are and see what happens, or maybe not. The app you're trying to install may just look for the necessary groups, but it'd surely crash if it actually needed what those groups contain.

How much memory for OS is on G-Tablet?

When I long press on homebutton it gives me information about running programs and right now I kill of them and it tells me that I have 128MB free memory. I thought it G-Tablet has 2GB of RAM, what gives?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
I believe there are actually 512M of RAM on the G Tablet. I am not sure why the Task Manager that Rothnic packed up shows so little memory free, but I know that if I run Advanced Task Manager, it shows a larger number. I generally assumed it was a bug in the Task Manager app.

Does "Automatic" even work without a GSM radio?
