Had the same issue with the new clockwork. Backed that out by reflashing to stock, added back the old clockwork and was able to successfully flash beta 4 (and I bunch of other stuff) without the magic value error.

Those instructions say to just runa bat file, but there are 6 bat files, which one do I run? It seems the files are newer than the instructions. None of the bat files look like the ones to run.

So you semi-bricked and then immediately swapped it for another device? Why didn't you recover it yourself??
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
I tried to recover it myself, after 2 hours got no where except made it worse to the point I couldn't even get the viewsonic logo to appear, figured the easiest thing was to return and start fresh if I was able too, and I was. Just wanted to know more before starting this again so I don't make the same mistakes again.
[G Tablet Android Development] Quicksand Jesus:
I don't even call that semi-bricked. I do think that a warning would be a good idea. I think that the new version of clockwork will cause problems for alot of people.

You should always be ready to assume the risk though.

Weird. Evreything works fine for me. maybe cuz I bought A Micro Sd card for this thing. so I got the internal 16 gb plus a 8 gb micro. Only problems i have is that evreytime i restart the tab i need to plug and un plug my headset for sound to work and the camera is a bit messed up ( Cant record at all)

I just picked up my Gtab tonight from sears. I have an Evo & was very happy to see Cyanogenmod is here! Thanks so much. I downloaded the CWM from the wiki & your CM 6.1B4. I am going to give it a shot now.

EDIT: It works great! I am so thankful to have my beloved CM6.1 matching my Evo! Let me know where to send a donation.

Two questions:

1. The Gapps from the Cyan Wiki mdpi-20101020 wont install. Is there a specific Gtab Market App?

2. I am missing the voice to text functionality - Is that part of the market?

Thanks,

Rich
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Well second time around I got CM6.1 installed no problems, but I have lots of issues, so this is still very buggy IMO(but al least it is usable now, much better than stock), list below:

1. All apps that get installed go onto the my external sd card, not the internal, so if I remove the card I have issues.

2. Can't mount the internal/external card to computer, so I have a very hard time getting files onto the device, need to use external card reader.

3. After a reboot the volume is always off and I need to use headphones to plug in and out to fix the sound.

4. Lots of Force closes, reboot seems to fix things for a while, probably most related to me trying to mess with the device to get the sd cards to work.

5. Can't see all market apps, couldn't find yahoo messenger, and several other's in the market place. Following instructions, and for the most part apps install fine from the marketplace, just don't see them all.

6. Can't sync calenders and contacts, no where/way to sync them like on phone even thou apps are installed.

Any help fixes any of these issues would be very helpful....thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sess:
I'm also hoping for an audio fix. Most of your other issues are not deal breakers for many, but I think we can all agree that a 3.5mm Jack may not always be handy when the tablet forcibly reboots on us...
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I'll try to help with some of these:

1. This is from the new mounting scheme to follow phones. All phones with an external card mount it to /sdcard, then the internal is split between data and internal storage. There are trade offs to both ways, but this way follows standards that applications will expect.

2. Yeah, work around is to use root explorer to do stuff on the phone, or to transfer files with ADB.

3. Known issue for now.

4. Might want to check what you are doing to your system, I haven't had any FC's besides launcher pro when rotating. This is a LP issue, however.

5. Make sure you follow the instructions to get full market working. This issue is external to the ROM. I can confirm I installed Gapps and did the fix to get full access.

6. Not sure of this issue, has been mentioned before but is a pretty low priority atm.

You can post bugs here: https://github.com/bekriebel/android_device_harmony/issues

Make sure you don't duplicate them, and make sure the bug is specific to this ROM. For example the gapps issue, which is something that is tough to deal with, but is across all ROMs.
[G Tablet Android Development] HighTech216:
Thank you!!!

This is working out nicely so far. I'm only having two real issues. I can't mount my SD via USB and everytime I try to load a webpage that utilities flash, my browser closes unexpectedly.

Improvement over stock system is awesome, I can't believe they sell it as they do!:cool:

Edit: thanks to later posts, flash is working great!

Access to 1GB Internal Memory

Hi Brint,

I've found a post in a Chinese Zpad forum saying the CM6.1B4 could only access to 512MB memory instead of full 1GB available in Malata's Zpad T2. I have a Zpad on order and wonder if this can be resolved.

This is where I found the post (be warned - it is all Chinese).

Thanks

Oh..btw...a better workaround to sound on here (instead of plugging / un-plugging ear buds):

Toggle Headset Widget

It makes android think you are plugging in headphones or unplugging them. Pretty nifty rather than carrying around some bunk headphones to workaround.

Thanks!

I installed the market using this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=827209, does this take care of the the Gapps issues your talkin about? What thread do I follow to ge full access?
[G Tablet Android Development] RichTJ99:
Quoting Rushmore from this thread on page 7: This worked 100%

http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=39324&start=120

Do you know about the market fix? Most apps are now available, except Google apps, but there is a package to get those on (Gapps).

Works for rooted devices (non-stock). This guide assumes you are signed into the market already.

1. Install Titanium (must be rooted to make this work correctly)

2. Go into app manager and force stop market and Google service framework

3. Open Titanium and scroll to Google service framework and wipe data

4. Try to open market. If it errors, that is good. If no error, repeat 2 & 3

5. When you get the error, shut the device down and reboot.

6. Wait about two minutes to give the device time to settle and the framework to adjust.

7. Open market and BOOM! Full market I only notice Google apps missing.

USB Debugging

Has anyone noticed an issue where USB Debugging will not keep the screen awake when set to do so? Everytime the screen sleeps, I lose adb connectivity.

Video's wont play

Hoping someone has found fix for this. i came from tnt lite and video's played ok (had to use root explorer but it was cool). switched to cm6 beta 4 , seems a lot smoother, however i now get the " video cannot be played " message .

any help would be greatly appreciated

thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
There is a setting you can set to keep device/screen from sleeping while powered in, that should help.
[G Tablet Android Development] kornyone:
This setting seems to be ignored, which is the problem :P
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Thanks for this info. Comments as follows:

1. So does this mean all other phones/tablets will have the same issues, so the Samsung Galaxy tab should have the same problem then?

2. Ok I found an issue, not sure this is the ROM or not, but if I connect the tablet to the PC when the power cord is plugged in, it works fine and my removable device gets mapped to the external card if present, but I have to have the power cord hooked up else it won't work. I also can't get it to map to the internal storage when no external card present even when using the power cord. ADB should also help if I can get it to work, no go so far.

3. The app someone provided helps a lot with this.

4. With #2, if no power cord, the USB connected screen just pops up for a second then disappears, not a FC per se. I have the same thing happen when I am trying to browse some sites...maybe a flash issue there, still looking into it.

5. Got the info, thanks all fixed. But don't understand how this could be external to the ROM, when I reinstalled the ROM this issue was broken again.

6. Tried to fix by installing the full suite of Gapps, ended up killing my system, so had to start over. Wat is weird is that after wiping cache/data, reinstal ROM, it downloaded all my apps/settings that I have on my DROID. I am using the same gmail account. I hope there won't be a conflict using the same account for two diff devices. What will happen to my phone when I change the system settings on the tablet?

Anyway, thanks for the help, slowly understanding more.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Seems to work fine for me while plugged in.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
I though I understood how roms work, but after applying a lot of stuff, wiping cache/data, reinstalling the rom, and reinstalling the apps they picked up data from the previous install. Also the rom didn't wipe out system apks that I installed, isn't that weird? Maybe the data issue is due to wiping data off the internal card vs the external card so there was left over data. That would explain the problems I was having after wiping and installing everything, kept getting a lot of FC until the system, settled down. Just curious, right now got most everything I care about working. Need to get flash workin, had it at one point, but the browser closes every time I visit a site with flash, yet if I remove flash i works except now I don't have flash. Also can't find flash in the market anymore.
[G Tablet Android Development] RichTJ99:
I would love some 6.1 RC2 goodness!
[G Tablet Android Development] RichTJ99:
One other question, I installed flash from the market, but cnn.com keeps crashing when loading the full version. Am I supposed to install something else?
[G Tablet Android Development] etaywm:
I use SwitchPro Widgets. In the list of provided widgets, there's one that allows you to export/unexport USB storage. That works for me.

Flash works. There's a couple of APKs available. Look for the Folio flash APK. I can't remember where I downloaded it from, but it is packed in rar file.
[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Do not use the flash player from the market, all you need to do is install the one in this link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9172522&postcount=2058

As for the mounting the SD via USB, I can only do this when the unit has the power cord plugged in, else the USB screen just closes on me.

[G Tablet Android Development] flipper9:
I love this updated ROM (and thanks to everyone working on it and testing it!), but there are few showstopper issues and other issues that can wait...

ShowStoppers

===========

1. Laggy after resume. I tried resetting to factory default and tried it without installing anything. This is probably the biggest thing keeping me from using it daily as the system becomes unusable after awhile.

2. Sound doesn't work (without headphone plug-in hack). Easy to get around, but come on.

3. Time zone doesn't stick after setting. I tried the build.prop hack, but then the system would freeze during boot for some reason. This is more an annoyance, but still.

Other

====

1. Even though we don't have a cellular radio, the icon still shows in the toolbar

2. Wireless network location doesn't work (tried several locations that have worked in the past on my laptop using Google location services via wifi)

3. When attempting to reboot, the list of options requires you to scroll through the options even though we are using a huge screen with plenty of space.

4. Automatic time sync doesn't seem to do anything. I assume that's for syncing with a cellular network, but it'd be nice if it synced with a time server over the wireless Internet.

5. Mobile data seems to be enabled by default. Can this default to off? Does turning it off save battery?

Questions

=======

1. Is there any possible way to link into my iPhone's GPS and cellular radio or telephony features over bluetooth?
[G Tablet Android Development] harpua1980:
ran CM 6.1 beta 2...then beta 3...currently beta 4 and now this thing is REALLY FLYING!!

some comments on the post above....patience...all will be well. There is a priority to fixes.

The audio/headset problem is easily worked around with toggleheadset.apk..think of it like a mute button.

The time issue is easily worked around with Sytrant app.

I prefer having options when i hit the hard power button..sometimes..in fact a lot of times i just need to reboot or reboot into recovery.

I have not experienced any laggy performance with beta 4. I left my tab on overnight and when i picked it up this morning she awoke bright eyed and bushy tailed. Pressed the default browser and ZAP...it snapped open!

I just picked up another one for $279 at sears outlet as a Christmas gift for my brother. I have an Archos 101 on preorder from tigerdirect but that order might be canceled now :).

I cant wait for a finished stable build! This thing is going to fly!! Thanks to Everyone involved with development on the G Tab and everyone at xda!

Just a short list of things that make me :)

-Slingplayer Mobile work Great!!! (It has some problems launching and it sometimes take 5 or 6 attempts) But once it launches its smooth sailing!! I connect to my rooted HTC Incredible wifi hotspot and I have live tv on a 10.1" anywhere!

-Angry Birds...looks,sounds, and plays great!

-Video Calling

-Flash!!

-Market (still missing some stuff..even with all the fixes) But i have not had a problem sideloading apps right from my incredible so meh shrug...)
[G Tablet Android Development] harpua1980:
Has anyone found a work around to the USB connection issue? aside from connecting in recovery..

I know a lot of people are experiencing the same problem. When you try to connect the tablet via USB the screen with the USB storage option appears for a moment then disappears.

I hope this is fixed in the final build.

I also hope that everything relative to cellular service is wiped from the rom. I hate seeing (no service) on the notifications bar...

but i must say...when I power off and the tablet says "Your Phone Will Shut Down" it does make me giggle :D

Updated to this ROM, and left my gTablet plugged in overnight.

Upon waking up this morning, the battery was dead. I unplugged it and then plugged it in again, and turned on the tablet.

When CM6.1 boots up, it shows 100% battery, but as soon as I unplug the tablet from the charger, it dies. Obviously the battery is dead, but CM thinks its at 100%, so it doesn't charge. What can I do?

I tried erasing battery stats in the recovery, but that didn't do anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] harpua1980:
did you try letting it charge for a little while before booting up?

Home, Menu, Back keys

When it's dark it's hard to see the physical keys, and the soft keys in the stock TnT lite status bar are very useful. I would like to try implementing the android-x86 patch in order to get home, menu and back buttons simulated.

A version of the patch is browsable at http://git.android-x86.org/?p=platf...it;h=8c583f0bbbed4bd14599167b1cd85b69fdb2133d .

Can you incorporate these? Or post the src you use for this build so I can try it?

Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] prscott1:
Thank you dev for providing this ROM! I have it working great - none of the problems that others reported.

*** A tip for others to do BEFORE flashing this rom - copy your files from the device's internal sdcard to your physical sdcard (using a usb adapter) and then put it in the device and flash.

Also, if someone finds a working tun.ko with this kernel, I'd love to use it as well.

TIA.
[G Tablet Android Development] RichTJ99:
I will have to try TNT to see the status bar, but I would also love a home & back button. I tried to add it to the power widget but I couldnt find a way to do it in CM. Would love that option for dark rooms instead of pecking at random parts of the tablet in the dark.

I have installed this on my viewsonic g tablet, and am trying to get gapps installed - no matter which type I try (tiny, mdpi, hdpi), I get an error - installation aborted. Being new to this, could someone point me in the right direction? TIA

I had to install manually - extracted all folders to SDCARD, then adb shell, su, cp *.* /system/*.*, then rebooted - seems to be working. No matter what I couldn't get the update to install in recovery or in rom manager. BTW, which device do you select (for Viewsonic G Tablet) in Rom manager for flashing clockwork recovery?

SD Card ?

So is there a secret or key to getting the SD card working ? I had it working ok on CM6.1B3. but since I upgraded to B4, it doesn't see it. I have the same problem that many are mentioning about it not seeing the card or being able to mount. I tried the "Auto Mount your SD card" but haven't gotten very far. So I like others are stuck without being able to download anything from Email, the web or use many apps that require the SD be present.

[G Tablet Android Development] raydog153:
Not that I am having much for issues now, but is someone working on a Beta 5? And what would be in it? Seems that the TnT Lite is getting lots of love and 3 times the amount of attention, maybe it's just me, maybe all the kinks were worked out of CM6 so that is why this thread isn't as active. Would be nice if someone was working on integrating the performance enhancements pack that the TnT/Zpad guys are using. I am willing to help in any way possible, just not that knowledgeable to do that level of integration. But consider me as an alpha tester at the very least or any other way I can help out, just point me in the right direction. I really want to stick with pure stock android and CM.

My quadrant scores are 2400, would be great to get them higher with those performance enhancements. I tried installing them, but my system just hung on boot-up right after the VS logo.
[G Tablet Android Development] thefredelement:
Is anyone getting static through the speakers? I've just installed CM6 on my co-workers g-tablet. Went pretty easily, got all the files mentioned in the thread and it's running pretty great. Seems though when we adjust the volume after something has used the audio that it shoots out some static and the audio won't come back. Say we go in to angry birds after a fresh reboot, it'll load up and play fine (after using the headset toggle), if we exit out and hit volume up, we'll get a bit of static and then it will stop. Then I go back in to angry birds and get more static and no audio.

Any ideas?
