NO luck with replacing the framework-res.....i tried using rootexporer...copy...no good...move...no good. I get stuck in a bootloop.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Understood and I am not trying to be critical (foolish and rude to do that). Just pointing out to some folks that may have a false sense of security with what is working, and pointing out that simply not using the microsd does not fix the root cause. As you are very aware of and have mentioned already :)

You, Roeb and Roth are the three Amigos :)
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
I was loving it until it kept locking up on reboot. And the sdcard2 appearing and disappearing. Went back to tnt until vegan can stabilize a lil more I was loving it though.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I'm whipping up a beta 2 package now

This new status bar change, adfree hosts file removal (rothnic and I talked about that and agreed that it should go), the Gallery3D replacement, ad-hoc wireless, newer Gmail apk.

If gojimi can figure out the VOLD issues, there's always room for another beta! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] teleknEsis:
Just wanted to say HUGE thanks to everyone working in and contributing with this ROM. You have done ViewSonic the biggest service anyone could have done. My thoughts are there's some political connection with ViewSonic and TapNTap which is why they refuse to ditch it. But they obviously left the device unlocked for good reason.

I flashed beta1 over alpha1 with no wipe with only 1 problem so far. It froze on first boot but a reboot solved that.

Sound works

SSL works

SDcard works

I don't see any issues at this point and this ROM FLIES!!!!!

I hope in time I can get to the point where I can contribute my services as a developer to this ROM. I've been getting heavy into android app development lately but all work in my spare time has been trying to start a business around android dev.

If you guys haven't checked out BoozeHound give it a download and check it out. Very neat app if I do say so myself :D. The next release is going to include Facebook integration so users can share specials in BoozeHound with their Facebook friends. I'm also in the process of developing a Facebook app for it so any Facebook users can join the community.

In the meantime I'm itching to take advantage of all this screen real estate and build an app for the tab. If anyone has any requests I'd be glad to consider and possibly even build it.

BIG THANKS AGAIN TO ALL THE CHEFS WORKING ON THIS ROM. WITHOUT YOU THIS TAB WOULD BLOW!!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] flavorman55:
What is the correct partitioning of the internal SD card?
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
First, cure the bootloop by re-flashing the vegan ZIP from Clockwork Mod (don't need to wipe anything).

Then go to Root Explorer, remount /system as R/W, then copy the framework-res.apk file into /system, change the permissions to read/write for all, then use the Move command to move it to /system/app, then reboot. Voila!
[G Tablet Android Development] hester5816:
Very excited to try it out...... you guys have done excellent work...... with out your efforts this tablet would be worthless
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
That has been my assertion since the beginning. Nothing else makes sense unless a director or VP level manager whose friend or relative is the Tap UI dev (least likely). Most likely it is a case of someone at VS royally screwing up in researching for a software package for the device, had no clue and blessed whatever bullsh** the Tap UI dev presented.

Now it is probably a case of hubris and not wanting to fall on the sword and take accountability.

If upper level Viewsonic folks (CFO) ever realize the Tap UI decision probably has cost them literally millions in revenue (total net impact of returns, refurbs, handling costs, retailer compensation and lost future sales)- the person or persons that made the decision for this product would be fired, rehired for a minute and fired again.

Upon reflection:

Just imagine if Tap UI was not impeding this product. A stable, solid software package- out of box and for Viewsonic, literally MILLIONS in total revenue for the life of the product.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Beta 2 is coming in the next 30-60 minutees

(I'm on a timeline as I need to do Christmas lights, later)

This is a big update, lots of changes / fixes:

- Updated theme from rothnic. This also adds some nice transition effects that are quickly noticable

- adfree hosts file is removed. Some of you wanted this gone, so it's gone. Just get "adfree android" in the Market to get it back.

- adhoc wireless finally added

- new Gmail app

- finally added that Gallery update (rotation fix?)

- pulled the Phone apks, which should improve battery life. No borked phone icon, again thanks to rothnic.

- pulled the Vega Launcher, replaced with Gingerbread launcher (thanks, rothnic)

- VOLD post-boot removed! Added a mount command, instead. This has fixed my freezing issues so far, and might fix the disappearing apps on reboot as well. It's not ideal as remounts still don't work, but it's a step in the right direction.

I am SO happy that my freezing issues are gone!
[G Tablet Android Development] ddarvish:
is there anyway to keep the Wifi connection live and not allow it to sleep. mine keeps turning off after a few mins when the tab is not in use
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
Still having issues accessing the Market. I even did a complete re-partition of the internal SD card (2048/512) and I still can't access it (No Matching Content). Something I noticed when partitionng the internal memory was that it gave this error:

no apps2sd partition found. skipping format of /sd-ext

Is this normal or to be expected?

Also, can anyone confirm that their Market was working without doing the market fix? Again, my build.prop file already had the line modified after installing this rom so i assumed that it was added to the rom itself.
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
Beta 2 is awesome. I just slapped it over Beta 1 since I know I can always wipe. I guess that's like pulling your pants up and doing the paper work later. :-) Anyway, I don't have any problems with it. It rocks. You guys are good!
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Market doesn't usually work without doing the fix, at least it hasn't for me.

Follow this video to a T, do it in the exact order and it should work. I was having the same problem as you but I was not doing it in the same order as this guy.

[G Tablet Android Development] dasmith85:
I can't seem to get the keyboard to play the click noise when typing. It works fine for the Android keyboard. Anyone else notice this?
[G Tablet Android Development] mb2k:
You could just try applying the new market update.zip found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9741682&postcount=56

Worked fine for me.

Roebeet, is there anyway to build the new market into the next beta?
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
HELP

Idk what happened but the tab doesn't see the internal storage meaning I can't download anything and I can't apply the market fix

EDIT: FIXED
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
I updated to Beta2 before trying the market fix again and it works. I probably should have tested to see if it would work for my issue with Beta 1 but I'm just glad to have it up and running.

I love the beta 2 animations!
[G Tablet Android Development] jcarlospr:
I followed the instructions but I can pass the Welcome to VEGAn-TAB-v1.0.0b2 screen - I been touching the android but nothing happens - any ideas???
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Did you try rebooting?
[G Tablet Android Development] partha:
I have the same problem. A reboot did not help.

I see this in logcat for every touch event:

W/SetupWizard( 1325): Ignoring touch event because phone interface was null
[G Tablet Android Development] jcarlospr:
3 times :(
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
have you tried the bypass cheat..... (ie. tapping once in all four corners of the black background that the android logo is on... starting top left and working clockwise....) sometimes that works.
[G Tablet Android Development] hailtothethief83:
VERY nice work on the new beta guys!! I'm really digging the Gingerbread look! New beta is even faster/smoother for me than beta1
[G Tablet Android Development] marcelvn:
Wow! Thanks a lot man. That solved mine!
[G Tablet Android Development] jcarlospr:
Yeah!!! That did the trick - thanks!! :)
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Side note for anyone who may still have issues with SD Cards and/or apps disappearing I am nearing an actual fix that will bring us closer to how TNT handles SD cards and will remove the "hacky but semi effect and still kinda awesome" script that roebeet has been working on. hopefully this will be ready for beta 3 and out in a day or two.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
Just installed and it is great, like the new gingerbread color scheme and the animations, had

the animations on my Droid and they're nice
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
Can't wait to get home and go beta 2. Thanks for all of your hard work!
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
:)

On a side note:

I wonder if the new market app opens up more of the market without Root Explorer hacks?
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
Looks awesome! When can we expect a running preview? I've got Tnt lite setup all how I want it, so it must be time for a wipe/flash soon ;)
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Not sure. I can tell you the major issues, at the moment:

- No audio on boot. Have to do the headphone jack trick.

- No microSD on boot. Have to remove / add to fix it.

- Built-in media player is not working at all. That's a real show-stopper since you can't play any videos OOTB.

Lots of things to work out, so it'll take time. The Vega is not the same device as ours, so it's more work than we've done before. It might even be a bust, but I hope not.
[G Tablet Android Development] insight3fl:
Roebeet; Thanks.. as many others have passed on. But I am seeing you work what looks like non stop on more than several builds here and while doing all that, answering every question and concern sent your way. I have to say that in my business, I perform a similar role and thought I was pretty darn good at it, but what I see you doing here (not as your JOB) is way over the top. Thank you very much. I only wish I could contribute half as much!

EDIT: and by the way, I am still on 2.0 and thrilled to death how wonderful my tablet is and how usefull it is in everyway that I demand it to be right now.. work and play!
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
Curious,,is there any way to modify the order of the top bar in Tnt to emulate the ui of Vega? I think that's why I like the Rom. It looks to be much easier to hit the home and back button if they were on the right side.
[G Tablet Android Development] Aesop Fables:
Nice... I love tntlite but If your working on this it should be great!
[G Tablet Android Development] Deusdies:
Looks awesome, but can you make the notification bar... narrower ? The only reason I switched from TnT lite to zPad was because the notification bar was too wide, like it is here. You have several millimeters of unnecessary space above and below the icon.
[G Tablet Android Development] Stretch2m:
I'm the same way! No sooner do I get a ROM perfectly set up than I'm looking for another one!

I can't wait to try out this new ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
...notification bar is fine as is
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Status Bar ain't mine! I just port it over.

Talk to the TnT devs. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
Does anyone actually want to talk to the TnT devs?

-=Sent from my ViewSonic G Tablet using Tapatalk=-
[G Tablet Android Development] mmracing:
Not I. :-)
[G Tablet Android Development] jtbnet:
Nor I... but they should probabaly talk with a few of the devs here and maybe save a Lot of folks some Big Headaches that have already been worked through here!

In 10 Min. + 3 to cleanup market I went from Stock reload + Luncherpro and personl apps setup (data) to TnTlite 2.2.0 with Only Cache flush (saved Data) and only a single complaint in over 24 hrs. of use... that complaint was needed to work past the funky Family acct. to get contacts and calander syncing auto... but simple once figured out...

Edit: fix sync

- open Contacts

- Menu

- Accounts

- click Auto Sync
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
This will be a slow process, just a heads up

This won't be the whirlwind firmware that we had with other builds - lots of problems because the hardware between the two is not the same (accelerometer, BT, WiFi all different).

Just a heads up. This firmware makes TnT Lite a piece of cake, in comparison.
[G Tablet Android Development] jtbnet:
I'd expect the first try is useful at least even if not as insanely successful as TnTlite... learning what's different, more importantly what's the same, at least allows parallels to be drawn when issues get fixed on the Vega to know whether they have direct or indirect benefit to the Gtab...

Again... THANX for all your effort and hard work here!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
You are dead on, with your assessment. We may not make this work, but I know I am learning more about Android in the attempt.

I think there's a possibility that we could incorporate their user apk loader on the GTab, which would be awesome if we could pull it off. There's some script that basically runs on boot and when the user data is clean - the Vega adds Flash that way, but I assume we could add a number of "must have" apks to the user space, on a clean build. For example, this would be the perfect place for DolphinHD or eStrongs File Manager, since they would be user deletable or user upgradable. And the auto-addition of Flash would be nice, as well.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
This is exactly why I have been using zpad or CM. I will be and have been working on making the height of the status bar lower.

Stock android is 28DIP, and the TnT and Advent ones are a good bit more than that. However they do need to be taller to support soft buttons. I will try to find a happy medium.

If people are happy with the Advent size let me know. I could leave this as a separate theme.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
No audio on boot (still have this issue)

No microSD on boot (I don't seem to have this problem)

No video(Video player FC, but video plays fine in Gallery 3D)

Currently using this build full time, and not seeing any major issues atm. I'm thinking since gojimi has fixed the camera capture rotation issue, a early beta might be good to release to find more issues. The only real problem that I see is the audio one, but that has a workaround.

The key plus of this build for me at the moment, is I do not see the slow down after sleep or running a long period of time ever.

EDIT: just realized that microSD refers to external, which I don't have at the moment.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
I am patient because there are so many good and stable builds out there right now, but I look forward to helping test this when you guys are ready to release it.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
For the people who thought status bar was a bit too big(which includes me), here is the new size. What do you think? I could scale the icons down a bit if desired.
[G Tablet Android Development] Marine6680:
I do not use my tablet for a daily driver yet, I will in a few weeks over the holidays though, but in the mean time I am willing to help test this ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] tklotzii:
So far so good, no issues here (Beta 2). And I have to say, this ROM is amazing. Thanks to all that are working hard on this. I only wish that all who buy this tablet find XDA and this ROM. The tablet went from just ok to my favorite gadget. Thanks again and keep up the hard/good work.

Is there a way for me to squeeze more icon on the home screen?
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
Cant get past the touch android screen. Tried the 4 corner touch in portrait trick but it didnt work. Whats the trick?
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
I know with the ADW launcher you can specify icons per row and column. I remove the dock bar completely, choose the swipe up and down gesture to open the app drawer and fit something like 6 columns and 4 or 5 rows. Plenty of space.
[G Tablet Android Development] wolf1306:
i kept pushing the 4 corners till it worked
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
I see you changed the appls along the bottom. How did you do that?

But I see they're removed in Beta 2? (Apps along the bottom) or is it just me?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Just wondering how to get to that settings menu? I know I have done it in TNT, but not sure how to get to the menu?
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
AS far as I know you need ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro to do it.

In ADW it would be under settings, then screen preferences, then desktop columns and theres also one for desktop rows. For me 8 columns and five rows seems to work best.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
That was just a screen shot taken after pressing the menu button, those aren't the apps like in beta 1
[G Tablet Android Development] apsawyer65:
Just curious, maybe I missed it but, if this rom is based on the Advent Vega, why does it have phone and call history capabilities? Is the Vega capable of cell calls?
[G Tablet Android Development] wiredmonkey:
Had the same problem. 4 corners fixed it for me as well.
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
Ah, clockwise. I remember now.
[G Tablet Android Development] katmandu421:
BTW, beta2 looks saaaweeet!
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yes it has a cell radio, hence why we have to do a little hacking so that doesn't impact us.
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
This is really nice!

The only "Ask" I would have is the auto brightness feature.

I also went with Launcher Pro. It has a great quick launch along the right side (when in landscape) and it lets the home screens to to 5x4.

I tried 2 different screen shot programs to post my home screen, but both just take a black picture..
[G Tablet Android Development] ddarvish:
i am still awaiting a response on how to keep wifi alive even when the tablet times out and the screen is off... i want it to stay connected to get email alerts and such.... please someone tell me!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] eric.a.bardu:
Hey guys,

I have a serious problem with my tab. I started downloading beta 2 & my dolphin hd crashed. I tried to reboot & now I only see the gtablet Logo & then the tab reboots again (and again and again...)

I tried to restore my backups of the tnt lite & the first vegan beta, I even reinstalled via cwm the tnt lite, but nothing worked!

What can I do now against this bootloop?
[G Tablet Android Development] schauerd:
wow..

All, who are involved with this new Bata2... Great job so far all has worked for me.

I am impressed with this Bata 2. I would not mind giving a donation... keep up the good work. If someone can point me in the right direction I will donate?

I think I am going to buy 2 more as Christmas gifts with this Rom. This software is way better than what it comes with, Viewsonic should be ashamed selling such nice hardware with junk software TNT.

I know the screen is not as good as my Ipad, but I like my G-Tablet hardware better with and with Flash and slingplayer installed... it cant get any better.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
This is more of an android issue than the ROM I believe. Android allows you to set it to stay awake anytime it is plugged in in the developer section of application settings. Additionally, you can set screen timeout to 30 minutes.

In market you can download keepwifi that has a stay awake option that might work.
[G Tablet Android Development] groupregister:
This looks amazing. I am a noob and after a lot of reading installed TnT Lite 2.2 a couple of days ago, but I am feeling more and more confident, and want to play with this ROM.

Two quick questions -

1. Does the lock screen work on this ROM? This is my biggest issue with TnT Lite.

2. Does the calendar on this have the same artifact as the TnT Lite calendar? This is just a minor irritation

Thanks to the dev's for putting in so much effort in developing a more useable platform than what came in the box.
[G Tablet Android Development] helfrez:
Beta2 looks amazing. I have a weird issue though, my Home and Search buttons no longer work. Menu and Back seem to be ok. Anyone else? if it's just me, I will poke around.

Edit 1: Also please not that the "More" menu in the browser uses black text which is impossible to read over the dark menu, will need to be changed to use white text.
[G Tablet Android Development] swordfury:
Sorry for being a noob but how do I install this theme? I download it and when I try to install it it goes thru the install and at the end it says "Application not installed"

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
It wasn't meant for mass consumption, just a preview for those that knew how to use it(manual install, not an update.zip). Its now in beta 2.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
I'll have to find the place to fix the more text. I thought my initial fix would cover it, but I guess not.
[G Tablet Android Development] swordfury:
Thanks but I am running Beta 2 and I dont see it. How do I use/add this theme?

Thank you
[G Tablet Android Development] flavorman55:
Just reparation your sdcard then Mont your gtab to your PC va cwm and drop beta2 zip on your gtab and install.
[G Tablet Android Development] lattisimo:
setup wizard does not appear to work in beta 2, after factory reset i am unable to get past tapping on the droid icon. i loaded beta 1, got past the setup wizard then went back and flashed beta 2 without a reset and i was able to play with beta 2 goodness.

thanks for the fantastic rom, can't wait to try your next release.
[G Tablet Android Development] flavorman55:
Just repartition your sdcard under cwm then mount your gtab va USB also under cwm and drop beta2 I'm your sdcard and install.(reparation 2048-256 that seems to work well for me.)
[G Tablet Android Development] darkfire79:
Audio works fine now.

Audio seems to be working okay for me in Beta 2. Sweet.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Its definitely in beta 2, maybe you need to wipe cache after installing.
[G Tablet Android Development] Gbmedusa:
Coming on board today

Was using TNT v2.2 which was very good. Installed this ROM today with just a few glitches during the installation, notably getting stuck at the Android guy during initial setup (requiring several reboots and four-corners).

This ROM totally flies! It is amazing how fast it is. Had a few FCs along the way but it appears to have settled after a couple more reboots.

Like the pull-down notification tray. Pressing icons in the tray don't appear to do anything. All soft buttons appear to work except long-pressing Home doesn't bring up the grid of homescreens (I can deal).

After coming back from sleep, it actually reconnected to the wifi tether on my phone instead of forgetting it existed. Yay!

So far, Setup has not FCed once.

After having to reinstall almost 170 apps with Titanium Backup, I finally plunked down less than $6US for Pro. It was worth not having to babysit the reinstall.

Thanks again for all of the hard work you guys have put into making this tablet a joy to use. Wish I had the skills to be a part of it.
[G Tablet Android Development] landykos:
So i know people have already said to get past the android logo on boot up you need to hit the 4 corners. I've tried this but it doesn't work..

Can someone explain exactly how you are suppose to hit the 4 coroners to get past the setup screen?!

Thanks,
