If I were your boss, I would hope it does not get fixed ;) Just kidding, since due to the fluid nature of G updates, I have brought mine into work a few times too :)
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
The Gtab is my "Smoke Break" :D
[G Tablet Android Development] mdwalker@yahoo.com:
I'll try it WIITH a microSD installed as well

Yes, it seems to be about 30 seconds after bootup. I left my microSD in the camera at home, but I will try with that installed tonight and see if that makes a difference.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
A quick battery hack to disable cell radio service:

adb remount
adb shell mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk.bak
adb shell mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk.bak

The downside is that the no signal icon will be in the status bar, but battery will be much improved.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Mine was OK even without a microSD. I think our VOLD hack is just buggy. It's definitely a hack.
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
Amazing work with the Beta. The only FC I get is a known issue: G-Sensor.

I can see internal and MicroSD, all my apps run just fine, and ADW Launcher runs great with the new notification bar. I love the changes!

I made yet another video, this time going through the entire process of updating from TnT 2.20 to VEGAn 1.00 Beta 1. It's VERY long (25 minutes) and I'm surprised Youtube let it post (it actually needed approval) but they posted it sometime this morning.

In the video, I:

1. Copy the .zip file to the G-Tab

2. Boot into CWM and make a backup of TnT 2.20

3. Clear data/cache

4. Install VEGAn

5. Go through initial setup

6. Install some apps (like Titanium)

7. Perform market fix/hack

8. Maybe some more stuff I forgot about.

[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Guess we will just have to get used to the cell signal indicator with the X on it. Ah well, small price to pay for increased battery life =). Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
I left it in for beta 1 as I wasn't sure what the consequences would be pulling it, outside of the extra icon showing up. Something to consider for the next beta, of course.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Small price to pay, you guys have done an awesome job with this. I think we can all afford to live with a random icon for the time being. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Nice tutorial, I'm sure it will help a lot of people. BTW, we do have a guide on how to replace the birdies: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859383

Additionally, the boot animation is left over from another mod. To remove it and see the Vegan boot animation, go into /logodata and delete everything in it.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Same root issues as with 2.03 it seems. Now check and see if some apps have vanished, since that is what happened with 2.03.

1. Apps that install like Angry Birds vanish, or force close when you open them and then vanish

2. USB storage mode does not update files until reboot and then Angry Birds and other apps like AB vanish or forceclose and then vanish

3. AB & others vanish after a reboot.

A combination of these issues happened with 2.03 and the root issue is being worked on by the Super Devs working on this rom :)
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
On what screen is everyone seeing this icon with an x? I'm not seeing it in my taskbar??
[G Tablet Android Development] LTL11:
How does the performance on VEGAn stack up against Tnt lite 2.2.1.

Has anyone ran quadrant?

Does it feel snappier?
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
If you didnt remove the apk's for the cell service you wont see it. Instructions for removing a few posts back.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
I got 2409 in Quadrant on this ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Ah I see- thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
Wow... I love the new animation! VERY NICE!!! VERY classy.

Thanks to all the work you do, btw. This is amazing stuff, and I have been getting an inbox full of emails telling me that people are buying the G-Tablet almost solely because of the work you guys here are doing to take the promising hardware and make it live up to expectation.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
I thought there was phone.zip to remove these? I ran that, but still was able to keep my wifi icon.
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
@roebeet, rothnic and gojimi - Quick idea - if you want to remove Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk without the annoying no-cell-signal icon, why not just change that icon in framework-res.apk to a blank, 1 pixel wide, transparent png?

Of course, I just tried doing that manually and copying the modified framework-res.apk back into my /system/framework directory and I seem to have boot-looped my system somehow, but that is more likely from aggressive use of Root Explorer and making changes to framework-res while processes are running. I'm sure if it was done to the base ROM it would probably work fine. Probably. I think. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Looking at your video, you can copy the files between your laptop and Gtab running beta version of Vega?
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
Yes; no problems at all doing so.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
You have been able to do it with the beta copy of the Vega? Do you have an external SD?
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
I do; a 2GB MicroSD card. It is in the system and readable from the G-Tablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
just installed and its good so far

2474 in quadrant

gallary and camera works

no reception bars in notification bar

I had to redo the wpa install to allow my droid to tether to it but it works

flash works

angry birds works

switching keyboard is also fine

Only two issues I've had

had to use headset toggle a couple times for sound

browser got stuck and closed it self once

All in All its a solid build
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Anyone know how to do the command line stuff to remove the telephony services and phone apks? I downloaded a terminal app but it's not recognizing the adb command:confused:
[G Tablet Android Development] prscott1:
Yahoo Messenger with video addon

Hey all - I just discovered that the Yahoo Messenger app with video plugin sort of works on this ROM (it didn't work on any of the others). I say sort of because my image was inverted. LOL.

I'll have to play with it more to confirm - just to let all know.

This ROM rocks. Thanks Vegan Team!
[G Tablet Android Development] prscott1:
If you are using a terminal app on the device, you don't need the adb since you aren't bridging from another computer. so you'd just rm /system/app/xxxxxx.apk but I recommend getting Titanium Backup and use it to uninstall the unwanted system apps so it removes the associated data files too.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
Is clockwork required for this or can I install the same way as I did 2.2.0 (saw the youtube video which discussed cw, but wasn't clear)?

Also, what is the best way to backup my stuff so that I don't have to go through every step of reinatalling every app (and, more importatntly to my kids restarting angry birds) if I decide to go back to 2.2.x?
[G Tablet Android Development] prscott1:
I recommend the paid version of Titanium Backup to backup apps / data.

If you go with Clockwork recovery, then you can also do complete ROM backups and recoveries.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Its not going to recognize the command. He was using ADB to remove them not a terminal emulator on the device. Hence the ADB command.
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Thanks! I tried looking for the app in Titanium (Free) and didn't see it in the list - is it only available in the paid version?
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Thanks for the instructions. Was able to use Terminal app with SU command to rename those files by mounting /system with read/write again.

If you are using the terminal, here is what you do.

get Terminal apps from the Market.. Change the font to make it bigger..

Start the term apps.

type su to get the root access to the file system.

type mount to find the /system which is mounted as read-only.

then type mount -rw -o remount /dev/something... /system
[G Tablet Android Development] ehunyadi:
Root Explorer (available on the Marketplace) is also pretty darned nice for editing files, mounting RO/RW, etc.
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
I'm still not seeing the instructions everyone is alluding to in this thread to remove these apks. I am using terminal- in addition to the mount -rw stuff that I type in that you wrote above, can you please spell out what I would type? I hate this command line stuff.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
This is something I have been looking into as the less pretty way of doing it. I was hoping to remove the service that adds the icon there in the first place, but will take some work.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Not everyone is seeing it because it is from a hack when you remove phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk. If you don't do the hack, then you won't see the icon. But you will have less impressive battery life.
[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Yes- this is what I need help with. I've been unsuccessful in doing this hack- if you can provide clear instructions on how to do this on the device, that would be most appreciated and a thanks will be credited your way :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the instructions. Was able to use Terminal app with SU command to rename those files by mounting /system with read/write again.

then type mount -rw -o remount /dev/something... /system (copy from Step 4 the full system path)

Step6:

mv /system/app/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk.bak

instant crash - reboot the tablet.

Step7:

do allover again from step2, but skip Step6:

mv /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk /system/app/TelephonyProvider.apk.bak
[G Tablet Android Development] 2k3Mach:
Can you describe the WPA fix in detail? I had it working on the Zpad with my HTC Hero, but not now.
[G Tablet Android Development] Turbo4V:
You could also just use something like RootExplorer and rename (or Delete) the two files.

[G Tablet Android Development] Lindarose84:
Thanks for the detailed instructions
[G Tablet Android Development] mike0miller:
Things are looking good. My Angry Bird problem on reboot was solved by going into CM Recovery and wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache then booting fresh??? Anyway, Angry Birds doesn't go away. I guess there was junk from when I restored the data partition after building from scratch. It's more fun when there are problems. thx again to everyone.
[G Tablet Android Development] suzook:
same here...this sucks...ho[efully someone can figure it out
[G Tablet Android Development] Longsh0t:
I'm getting a No Matching Content in Android Market message after flashing this rom. When I first tried this I noticed that the build.prop file already had the necessary changes from the Market Fix thread (there was the old one commented out).

I've also tried wiping cache and Dalvik but still nothing. Any other ideas?

Also, Angry Birds and Angry Birds Seasons are not working even after restoring them from TB
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
all you do is download the zip and install from recovery like an update...its in one of these threads not sure which one...if u cant find it I can upload the one I downloaded

Audio Problem (Just loud static)

The issue I'm having is the same I had with the Cynaomod mod, which is whenever anything tries to use audio.. it comes through as a blast of static. Ie: TuneRadio, etc.

The only other thing I notice right now is that the gsensor calibration setting doesnt work, but I'm assuming that's a known issue.
[G Tablet Android Development] suzook:
I think you have a faulty unit. I have the same problem...not all the time...it happens wiht the stock os too. Gonna exchange mine tommorow

[G Tablet Android Development] umar.ranjha:
Hi Guys,

Did anyone notice that Gallery 3D Force Closing after a while? I have copied my Pictures and it tried to scan for the media and eventually force close.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Ok added that ad-hoc zip and system froze.
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
happened to me to just force restart it shuld boot up
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Would not get past the boot screen. Just lock up everytime.

I'm back up now can we change the soft keys in the launcher
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Yeah, known issue.

You can copy the Gallery 3D from CM B4 over it. That will be included in future releases.

microsd card

Hey fellas I don't have a ex SD card installed so I guess my question is should I worry about how I store my apps and what not,and is there a proper way to partition the internal SD card? I have it set to 2048 - 256 is this right or should I set it to something different? Oh on another note I've been running the hell out of beta1with out issue the best Tom I've used yet.:D
[G Tablet Android Development] darkfire79:
Nope.. The audio works fine on TnT and zPad. I would still be on Zpad, except for that I kept running to some sort of security issue with Market and certain applications like OS Monitor and WeatherBug Elite wouldnt install. I tried the fix in some of the forums (which was deleting a file.)..but the file didnt exist on mine. Dunno. Sorry a bit off topic for this forum. Has anyone else had any audio issues with this build?
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Ok seems like the sdcard keeps freezing up my tab when I restart.
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Does the whole device seem to freeze up, after 30 seconds or so? If so, I had the same problem and (so far) have a fix. I needed to re-partition my SD card.
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
Having great luck with VEGAn. Have Swype, enhanced hacked Market, AB, and TweetDeck among others. Have had a little graphical glitching/tearing like in older Zpad builds, but beyond that this is a nice, fast ROM. I have an SDCARD in the slot and have had no issues with it.

-=Sent from my ViewSonic G Tablet using Tapatalk=-
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Anyone have issues with root explorer?

When I try to access the SDCard folder it tells me SD card is not currently mounted, however the other file manager lets me into it fine. Its a random occurrence, sometimes it lets me in after a reboot sometimes not.
[G Tablet Android Development] popezaphod:
Spoke too soon. Had AB and another app get messed up on reboot. Will search the thread for solution.

-=Sent from my ViewSonic G Tablet (VEGAn) using Tapatalk=-
[G Tablet Android Development] brad37:
Strange issue

When I reboot flash stops working and the angry birds icon turns to a generic .apk icon. Remove and reinstall works fine until the next reboot. Any thoughts

Best rom yet
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
I think this is a common issue for most. Mine does the same
[G Tablet Android Development] LRiley:
this only happened to me wen it was installed on g tabs SD card...deleted and installed and it was fine
[G Tablet Android Development] roebeet:
Having the same issues. It seems to be, for me, more common when I flip between builds - ie. I was working on TnT Lite earlier, then restored to VEGAn and apps started disappearing on me.
[G Tablet Android Development] New2Android:
Roebeet.rothnic and gojimi and rest of the guys havve done a very wonderful job with vegan build. Gtab is flying now. Just imagine what would happen if you guys get the source code from vs.....

Thank you all very much
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I'm on 2.2.0 now. If I do a nandroid backup to my sdcard2, can I restore all of my files to Vegan (or even 2.3.0 if I decide to go that route)? I've flashed so many times lately. I realize now that this is going to be an ongoing process and I'd like to make it as easy as possible.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Not to be a broken record, but the same storage stability problems from 2.03:

USB storage does not update until a reboot

Angry Birds and other apps disappear after exiting USB storage

Apps will randomly disappear after just a reboot

Seems a UI layer issue and perhaps hard to correct, since Advent does not have dual storage.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Yeah it was getting frozen after like 40 sec and nothing I could do but keep booting it. Can u customize the launchers soft keys or settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] cjbailey75:
Ok I get the android man that lights up but won't do anything.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Had the same thing, force off and reboot and see if it works.
[G Tablet Android Development] ckelly33:
I've seen it asked here but not answered so far...can the row of icons at the bottom of the screen be changed to other shortcuts or are they fixed?
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
We don't think so, at least easily. Most likely the next release will not feature that launcher as the stock one.
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
There is something going on here we to investigate. I haven't had these issues, and the only differences are that I don't have an external sdcard, and haven't been using tnt.

Maybe something to try is wiping completely with nvflash then installing to eliminate the possibility that something is hanging around.
[G Tablet Android Development] Acturbo:
Awesome that we can easily switch keyboards with this ROM.

If anyone is interested give slide it keyboard a try with google search installed =

voice keyboard :)
[G Tablet Android Development] anlog:
I think a lot of these problems are caused by restoring data from other builds with TI and data lingering around from previous ROMs.

Before I flash any new ROM I always repartition the SD card and wipe everything that can be possibly wiped (caches, etc). Never had any problems when I go this route...

I also don't use an external SD card, so that could also have something to do with it...
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Heading towards a GB look out of the box, with the GB launcher being the stock launcher. The look should be like this:

Still some clean up, but pretty close to ready for the next beta. Additionally, this image is shown with phone.apk and telephonyprovider.apk removed.
[G Tablet Android Development] daCalifa:
Looks Awesome! Can't wait for the stable release!
[G Tablet Android Development] rothnic:
Ok, here is the initial version of this theme. We will see if the other guys want it incorporated as stock. Still need to work on the pull down menu some, but pretty well finished.

You can remove Phone.apk and TelephonyProvider.apk, and it will NOT show the cell icon.

[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
Hey roth, I see the ZIP file just contains a hacked framework-res.apk - how can I safely install this? It doesn't flash like an update.zip, and I can't just copy framework-res.apk into /system/framework with Root Explorer (I just tried, you end up boot looped and have to re-flash the ROM).

I left my USB cable at work yesterday, so I can't ADB push it right now. :(

EDIT: Answered my own question: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-837470.html Basically, using Root Explorer, can just copy the framework-res.apk file to /system, set permissions (I used R/W for all to match current), and then used Move to overwrite existing file rather than Copy, rebooted, and the changes took.

Looks great, thanks Rothnic!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Frankie Gaspacho:
Great ROM. This is definitely the best yet! Much better WIFI. Here are the issues I have noticed

I can't get flash and AB installs to stick

Flash does not work in default browser

Default browser can be flakey

XDA app crashes when logged in

Any suggestion really flash?

Thanks for putting this together!
[G Tablet Android Development] rcgabriel:
For me, I had to uninstall the AB I restored with Titanium Backup and install from Market to get it to work. Another idea: unmount SD card, then try installing?

Haven't observed any browser issues like you describe, but I mostly use xScope. The alpha builds had lots of browser crashes in anything that used the browser libs, but I haven't had any browser crashes since I installed beta1.

XDA App has never really worked properly on G Tablet. Get Tapatalk instead, the pay version that works with all vBulletin forums, then just search for XDA. For 3 bucks, it works brilliantly.
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
Good idea, but the root cause appears to be folks that use a micro sd are the ones having the problem. I need my 32gb micro sd, since store my comics and videos on it and the internal is for apps and game roms (Playstation, NeoGeo, etc). Space is reduced 66% without the microsd.

If removing the microsd fixes it, but having an sd in the G does not work correctly, this suggests the recurring issue that the storage will not mount correctly. This basically renders 32gb of storage capacity useless.

Sure hope it gets fixed, since would love to use the rom :)
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Very nice and clean. Not a big fan of that wireless icon which comes with it. Love the clean industrial look. Can't wait.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
Wouldn't it just installed like the apk?
[G Tablet Android Development] rushless:
I think if you try to use USB storage mode, you may notice that files changes do not show up and when you exit USB storage or reboot, Angry Birds and other apps that use the same install scripts will also be gone. That or they force close when you try to open them.

I love the effort here, but just like CM rom's lack of normal dual storage use, I would rather not have the trade-off of losing storage space. Not too sure even the amazing efforts here will be enough to bridge the issue, since Advent Vega does not have the function in its rom (no dual storage).

Seems same dilemma as not being able to change some functions with TnT, since can not get to the code to make the edits.

Nirvana would be the AV rom mod, but with storage working correctly for the Gtablet.
[G Tablet Android Development] gojimi:
Please everyone keep in mind we are still in BETA. We will not leave BETA until this SD Card issue is fixed. I am working towards this very thing of trying to set things up to be handled like TNT handles dual storage. Don't count this rom out yet. As for source. Well I have my ways. As you have already seen with the VEGAn ROM so far.... and may have seen if you are using TNTLite and enjoying the all the Home button fixes in it.

More to come!

P.S. I'm not singling you out rushless.... you just state the feelings of alot of people articulately.
