[G Tablet Android Development] akldjian:
Anyone else getting a FC on Terminal Emulator on alpha3? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Note - please ignore this post. I think the problem may have been on Google's end. Market timeout issues seem to be gone now...

Anybody else having problems with Market timing out on alpha 3 build (from a clean wipe of G Tablet - I didn't install over my alpha 1 user data)? I just get a Loading... stuck on the Market screen and eventually a Network Error message pops up. However, my browser and everything else confirms that my network connection is fine (wifi at full signal strength).

Eventually, it finishes the time out on the first run, and I get my usual, un-fixed, very sparse market stuff. I can apply Market fix then, get the usual error message when I try to re-run market, reboot G Tab, and then Loading... stuck on Market this time again.

This time, I don't seem to get to the full list. But I can skip over to Downloads and see all my purchases. And I can get Search to work intermittently. Just can't ever get the Browse stuff to finish loading.

I didn't have this issue on alpha 1.

I could try restoring my User partition from alpha 1 and see if that works, but that sort of ruins the purpose of alpha testing this build by itself. :)

PS - I wiped everything again, reflashed alpha 3, and had the exact same issue so it's not like I had a bad flash or something.

PPS - Okay, after re-flashing the update zip from CWM again without wiping anything after my last aborted attempt, things started working better with market. I've only had one Network Timeout error in Market this time, and it's actually loading all the apps from market, browsing, showing downloads and searching. Very, very strange.

PPPS - Yeah, everything seems great after that reflash. Otherwise, alpha 3 is basically the same as alpha 1 for me. Everything seems to work pretty well, but the browser crashes on even non-SSL sites like Amazon.com or the Google Nexus S promo page continue. That's the real deal-breaker on this ROM right now in terms of being a daily, usable ROM.

PPPPS - I think I was making a fundamental attribution error. Please carry on with your regularly scheduled programming.
[G Tablet Android Development] akldjian:
rcgabriel,

i saw that too, but it didn't seem to effect it if you were doing a search instead. I'm not sure if the market fix is in any of the Vegan builds yet.
[G Tablet Android Development] akldjian:
It's working fine now. May have been a marketplace hiccup.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Okay akldjian, I think you may be right - could definitely have been a problem on Google's end. I attributed it to stuff I was doing, but in fact it may have been entirely unrelated. Please ignore my last post in that case. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
FYI, this is not my ROM - I don't want to take credit for it

This is a GROUP effort - I just did the packaging for a2 and a3. Gojimi and rothnic did most of the work and should get the credit for that. Without them, this mod would not exist at all.
[G Tablet Android Development] dsf767:
As always GREAT work to Roby, Roth, and Gojimi!

I cant wait until you get the SSL issue sorted out for me that s a must once you guys have that fixed I will be moving over to this for sure!
[G Tablet Android Development] akldjian:
Can't get out of it that easy.

Awesome work Gojimi and rothnic. Thank you. roebeet, you had your hand in bringing this to us. Thanks a lot buddy. ;0)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
No worries - I just want to make sure everyone gets the credit they deserve. This is a great group and everyone is pitching in - a lot of these fixes are things that others have created, which I then package together.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Awesome, thank you to everyone.

You guys really need a group "donate" button.
[G Tablet Android Development] akldjian:
Has anyone had a chance to test this yet? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
No problems here.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Fine here as well but a few of the programs seem to be a little shaky. Pocket legends did nothing but crash last night and today it works fine, same with Angry Birds.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
missing sound

cant get my sound to work.
[G Tablet Android Development] manfly9884:
Plug in a head set then unplug. Sound should be back.
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
Awesome job, guys! I've been bouncing back and forth, and I really like this mod.

A few questions:

- Is it not possible to use the 2nd sd card?

- Can you customize the lower launch menu?

A few weeks I thought I jacked it up. I thought I was formatting SD card 2, but apparently it was SD card 1. Lost all my backups, but I'm running good now.

However, I think I may have partitioned my internal SD card incorrectly. I picked the max values, but I only have 10 gig of usable space. Is that normal???

So only 10 gig of SD1 space, and no SD2 space... Not much room.

Thanks again - lots of fun following the releases.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
When you repartition, the first value that you choose is the internal /data partition. Then what is left over of the 16GB is used for the internal sdcard partition known as /sdcard.

So, because you never get the full amount advertised to begin with after formatting, you gave data 4GB(a crap ton for applications) so around ~10GB left for your /sdcard.

Not sure on the sdcard2 question, because I don't have one atm.
[G Tablet Android Development] brad37:
Thanks for all the hard work

Best rom yet, Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] lamlam01:
Please let me know if the homescreen is only in landscape mode; not sure if my update went bad or this is normal. Thank you!
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
i tried that and rebooted serveral times just didnt work for me and serveral web sites just didnt work for me. I like the task bar and having the settings but tnt 2.2 was just smoother to me and everything worked so i went back to it. I will wait until after the 20th to c what happens with the builds should be fun.
[G Tablet Android Development] The Ringmaster:
I'm running TnT lite 2.2.1 and the home screen rotates as I rotate the device.

edit: I'm also running adw launcher.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Fixed SSL!

Well the guys and I have fixed SSL! Beta 1 is on it's way... Roebeet should be posting it in a bit!

Enjoy!

Now we can move on to other minor issues and improvements!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Updating the OP, now. Beta One!!!!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] acuralegendz:
Download not working. Or is it overloaded?
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Awesome, thanks guys, downloading now
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I'll have an alternate link, in a minute. I figured I'd need it. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] acuralegendz:
Thank you I'm shaking with excitement:D
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Yeah!

Thanks guys.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
It pays to be up way past bedtime
[G Tablet Android Development] babybacon:
its sad when i have to download this on the tablet because when i was downloading it windows crashed.
[G Tablet Android Development] Spectredroid:
I don't need meat anymore, thanks for VegaN.

This is brilliant. I have really been loving the tnt, then I switched to the alpha 1 vegan and now beta one is even better. I love it. The gtablet is so worth having because of all your work. :)

Thanks a bunch. Really loving it. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Now that we have reached BETA Status!!!

I have also created a new thread detailing where to make and watch current issues, feature requests and a wiki that has nothing at the moment. but may fill up as we approach a more fully stable rom. also outlined is where you can view the actual mods and sources for our changes (git).... though it is admittedly a bit messy right now.

Thanks for all your support.

[G Tablet Android Development] Spectredroid:
You won't be sorry, it is really sweet. I love the pulldown shade. ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I did notice the bad Gallery 3D is included that FC and accell is off. That is an easy addition that you can pull from the CM B4, and will be in the next release.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Thank you so much for fixing the ssl bug. Really appreciate all your work.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
How does that thing keep creeping in? LOL. Yes it will definitely get in the next release.

What is next on the horizon. Did u guys fix the sound, rotating of the device, fc on several sites. Those are the things that made a noob run back to tnt I truly love u guys work its amazing tool and I love having an iPad killer. They r talking about shipping a million iPad 2 in the next 90 days.
[G Tablet Android Development] eric.a.bardu:
Awesome work dudes...
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
Great work guys! I was running CM6.1 beta4 and that doesn't even compair to what you have done with this ROM!!! Super fast/smooth and everything is working as expected so far

Can't wait to see what else you have planned for the future with this!!
[G Tablet Android Development] eric.a.bardu:
Hey guys,found some issues:

- get a fc while switching to Android keyboard

- market is not complete

- can not connect to pc, usb tries to mount the sdcard like forever

- cant download in the browser because of missing sdcard

Nevertheless your work is awesome....
[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
Downloading now, its all looking good.

Now I have 2 Android phones (nexus 1) one gtab and a archos 70 to keep track of on development side, man this is gonna be tough. :D
[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
I had to remove the phone and telephony provider apk's again in the beta 1. These going to be removed from the ROM in future builds?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
How do you do that?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Hey roebeet, rothnic, and gojimi - the browser crash issues with the alphas seem to be all gone with beta1 now. Both the SSL crash and the crashes on certain sites are gone. Great job guys!!!

Market fix went off without a hitch and Market is now populated.

Flash is working, was able to watch video on Amazon on Demand again, which is a key feature for me. :) Youtube works, video playback works, gallery works, camera works, games work, calendar and contact sync works. That's basically everything.

Quadrant score is 2474 now (I ran it plugged in, in airplane mode, so probably a bit higher because of that). My best score yet. Fastest, smoothest ROM yet.

Only issue so far:

I did just get a Force Close of the iLauncher2 app when trying to start Angry Birds, followed by a Force Close of Angry Birds. After these force closes, Angry Birds is missing, and some apps seemed to disappear from the App List - the bug others had previously reported that I never observed with Alpha 1 (I ran Alpha 3 only very briefly, so can't say whether it was there or not in the Alpha).

I rebooted, Angry Birds was there in the app list again, but the Force Close happened again.

Solution:

I had restored Angry Birds from Titanium Backup. Because of the different way this build handles SD card mounting compared to ZPad (and I think TNT Lite), I had to uninstall Angry Birds, Uniwar and the several other apps that had previously been installed with the SD card unmounted on my ZPad build that I had restored with TiBackup. Only apps that required an SD card unmounting to install before seemed to be affected by this.

I then reinstalled them from Market. I then restored data for these individual apps in Titanium Backup, and they are now all working perfectly.

Keep up the awesome work!!! I'd say this is nearing release candidate status. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] flavorman55:
battery life

Hows the battery life with this rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] jtsmall:
I agree. Except that with TnT Lite's web browser I have not found a way to cut & paste url's (Chrome as a terrific addon for this process), so I still carry. In general, is there a way to cut and paste?

Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] GenBlood:
I like the look ... I had a few issues with beta 1 ..

Here is the list of stuff I ran into:

1. market not complete

2. flash doesn't work with the browser

3. can't download from browser

4. prefer the browser from the tnt lite build 2.2.0

5. can't connect to the pc with a usb .. the pc can't auto mount

with the gtab.

Keep up the good work ... Looking forward to future builds.
[G Tablet Android Development] suzook:
Anyone have a problem tethering to their cellphone? My ipd connects, but the gtab sees it, but dosnt connect
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Hmmm, a Gallery 3D apk it was never in any of the alphas (I know because it's modular). I thought it was in alpha 1 but I guess I missed that in the packaging.

What is the problem, exactly? Rotation issue? I'll admit I haven't tested it, too many mods to deal with right now.

I don't think it's any better / worse than TnT Lite, so far. It's been suggested to pull the Phone apks out to increase battery life, but that might cause other issues - it definitely leaves a borked icon in the status bar which is why I personally prefer to leave the phone apks in (for now).
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Market fix, ...

You still need to perform the market fix. This is widely discussed in various threads here, you will find lots of instructions, videos, etc. With that done, market is working fine for me. This hasn't changed in a long time.

I haven't used flash with this beta yet, but it has worked fine with previous builds.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
Me too

I've seen this problem with apps that are installed to the SD card as well. That and when I power up my internal sd card is being automatically unmounted for me after 30 seconds or so. I have to re-mount it by hand.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Do you mean the microSD? There's a vold hack that run after 30 seconds to mount it which (generally) works, but has issues at times. It's a hack.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Yeah Roebeet it is on the ftp repo in the folder - GalleryRotationandFCFix

No biggie!

Already added for next time, thanks! I knew about the file, but I thought it was in the original alpha baseline.

Yeah, we're not completely in-sync yet (to the group). But we try our best!
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
Beta shows a lot of improvement. Excellent work. Angry Birds isn't the end of the world one way or the other, but there is a problem on my install. The app crashes on initial boot or on a reboot. The solution is to unmount and mount the sdcard (remount). The icon changes from the default "Angry Birds" icon to a generic icon labeled "com.rovio.ka3bd.App" icon. The app works fine after the remount by initiating from the new icon.

I don't understand the mounting process. I partitioned my entire sd card into one ext3 partition. Does it need a portion of it partitoned to vfat? If I attempt to install angry birds without the sdcard mounted, it fails with a message of "not enough space on device."

Thanks so much for making the gtablet a much better product.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Cool Thanks! Yeah we'll get there.... we have already tackled so many tough problems as a group that we are getting closer to being in sync!

--GoJimi

VEGAn-TAB Developer
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Interesting. It's supposed to be EXT3 for the 2GB /data mount, and then the rest is VFAT for /sdcard. So I'm not sure what you did with yours.

This is something I actually want to look at today, as I think my /data needs to be reformatted (errors in dmesg that it needs to be checked).
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Do you or Roebeet think it will be possible for the storage to ever be stable for both storage locations (internal and sd)? I am inspired by all of you folks work, but if the device can not be stable for app installs (Angry Birds, etc) and both storage locations mount correctly, seems TnT is (sadly) the better option for me.

No offense Roebeet, since the emphasis is the Tap UI layer- NOT your great mod! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Did anyone have sound issues on media playback.
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
I will use gparted and fix it, but it did the same thing with a vfat partition on sdcard. I see that /data is mounted on the sdcard when I use the "mount" cmd. yes, interesting.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@mike0miller

I was having a problem with Angry Birds with the beta1 build too related to mounting, see my post a page or two back. For me, it was because I restored from a backup via Titanium Backup. The solution for me was uninstalling it and re-installing it from Market. Let me know if that changes anything for you.
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
No, internal

No, the internal SD storage (I removed my microSD for now) is being unmounted after boot, and I have to manually mount it again. This is new, I think, I never had this happen with any of the alphas.
[G Tablet Android Development] claudegray:
Thanks for all the hard work! It's thanks to this comunity that I have a ViewSonic G Tablet insted of the Archos 101 :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Not observing that behavior here. The vold hack runs 30 seconds after boot as roebeet has said (I see an SD card blip in notification bar when it runs), and after it runs, my internal SD storage is available and mounted without any issues. I have no external SD card in my tablet right now either.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Yes Rushless, This is actually our highest priority bug now that SSL is fixed.... I do believe the issue is our HACK that has been in place to temporarily fix the external SD Card issue. I am beginning today to start looking at our SD Card mounting situation. I think we can fix it.

--GoJimi

__________________________

VEGAn-TAB Developer
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
We changed the vold script, but only to remove the buggy user apk installs. Vold itself is unchanged.

I will test this -- does it happen after 30 seconds or so? Then it's probably this hack. I am fine but I always have a microSD in my device.
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
I am putting the vfat partition back in place. I took it out because I didn't think it was being used. I should have known that CW recovery did it right. Anyway, I will see if reinstalling to the VFAT partiton fixes it. I've been installing to the ext3 partiton which always requires a remount after a reboot. I'm probably starting to confuse people, but I will let you know. :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] lcyn:
vs TnT

How does this new build compare to Tnt, as far as stability and speed? I am currently running TnT, and am pleased with it. I am trying to decide about Advent build, and will appreciate any comment.
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Coming from TnT this build is MUCH zippier and that's saying a lot especially since TnT was fast in its own right. I feel like my scrolls are instantaneous. The speed change is a noticeable difference.
[G Tablet Android Development] akodoreign:
I will say, Unless you have extreme amount of patients DO not forget to wipe before going to beta 1.

I went the wipe cache/dalvik and tried to over lay it.

Gmail was broken

Market was broken

thing crashed :P

Wiped and redone :) works great now :D
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Thanks!

Angry Birds could be your litmus test app for stability ;)

1. AB installs from market and works- check

2. AB does not vanish and works after using USB storage mode- check

3. AB does not vanish and still works after a reboot- check

Might be a good test to use ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
I think I'm confused. Now I have a vfat partition and an ext3 partition on my microSD card. It's back to the way CW Recovery set it up. Unlike TNT Lite, I can not install Angry Birds with the SD Card unmounted. I get an error of not enough space. It installs fine with the SD card mounted (that's different from TNT Lite as well). It just doesn't hold between boots without remounting SD. Enough about this. Anyway, thanks. I'm happy with the beta at this stage of the game. Very cool.

Many thanks to the Vegan Team for this ROM! It is very smooth and fast.

I love it. USB BT mouse and keyboard work too! :D

Thank you!
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
So when an app, like Angry Birds won't install, all you do it plug in Gtab to your computer, DON'T turn on your SD storage, then re-install.

That's easy enough until the problem is fixed. Easy enough.

Thank you guys again for this ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Unlike the ZPad ROM (and I think the TNT Lite ROM), all apps are installing fine for me with the Internal SD card mounted, so your mileage may vary depending on whether you are using an external SD Card or not.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I had the same problem that angry bird went away. So I did the market fix, got on the market, deinstall the angry bird, and install back again using the market, and I am back in the business.

Only thing for me that is not working is that I can't copy files to it using the USB connectivity from my laptop.
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
Is it possible to customzie the buttons on the bottom on the home screens?
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
I came from the Zpad, which was nice, but I like VEGA better.

But I can't get the Tether to work from my rooted Hero phone. I had it working on the Zpad with this fix: http://www.chinadigitalcomm.com/android-a81/a81e-connect-to-ad-hoc-wifi-t1413.html

Under Zpad, it didn't even see an Ad Hoc network, but that fix made it recognize it, and allowed me to connect.

With VEGA, it sees the Ad Hoc network, but will not connect.

Any thoughts?

Unfortunately, the ability to take this to work and surf on my own network (Not works) is my #1 priority.

Thanks in advance.
